This study examined the effect of integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein 1α (ICAP-1α) and its mutatants T38A and I138A on the adhesion, migration and tube formation of 2H-11 cells. rAAV-ICAP-1α, rAAV-T38A and rAAV-I138A were constructed. After infection, the expression of ICAP-1α and p-ERK1/2, p-c-Jun protein was measured by Western blotting. Adhesion ability was evaluated by using MTT. Cell migration was determined by using Boyden chamber method. Tube formation test was conducted on Matrigel. The results showed that in ICAP-1α, T38A and I138A groups, ICAP-1α protein expression was increased. In T38A and I138A groups, phospho-ERK1/2, phospho-c-Jun protein expressions were significantly increased as compared with the control group and the GFP group. ICAP-1α group protein expression was obviously decreased when compared with the control group and the GFP group. Cell adhesion ratio was 0.1429±0.0080 in control group, 0.1434±0.0077 in GFP group and the ratio in T38A and I138A groups increased to 0.3210±0.0082 and 0.3250±0.0079, respectively. In ICAP-1α group, the ratio was decreased to 0.1005±0.0073. In T38A and I138A groups, the number of migrating 2H-11 cells was increased to 31.45±3.20 and 33.10±5.40 against 18.51±2.80 in control group and 20.47±3.12 in GFP group. In ICAP-1α group, the number was decreased to 12.06±1.72. The number of tube-like structures was increased to 20.41±2.54 in T38A and to 22.26±3.07 in I138A groups as compared to those of control group 12.45±1.84 and GFP group 13.63±2.71. In ICAP-1α group, the number of tube-like structures was decreased to 8.32±1.24. It was suggested that rAAV-T38A and rAAV-I138A transfection can substantially increase 2H-11 cell adhesion, migration and angiogenisis, while rAAV-ICAP-1α can greatly inhibit the effect. These effects might be correlated with ERK1/2 and c-Jun protein phosphorylation.

Objective To compare with the effect of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) between the left and the right prefrontal on refractory negative symptoms and serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Methods 80 hospitalized schizophrenics with refractory negative symptoms were divided into study group (n=40) and control group (n=40) randomly. Both groups were received 4-week treatment of 10 Hz rTMS. The stimulus lo?cation of the study group was the left prefrontal, and the control group was the right prefrontal. The type and dose of anti?psychotics remained unchanged during the treatment. The evaluation of positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) and the measurement of BDNF concentration before treatment and after 4 weeks treatment was analyzed. Results Com?pared with before treatment, the total score of PANSS after treatment significantly decreased (P<0.05) both in the study group [(71.2±13.8) vs. (63.3±11.4)] and the control group [(70.3±13.4) vs. (63.7±12.2)]. The score of negative symptoms in the study group decreased [(22.8±6.6) vs. (18.4±5.9), P<0.01]. The BDNF concentration increased in the study group ](6.78±2.16) vs. (8.74±2.76)] and the control group [(6.83±2.32) vs. (8.66±2.70)]. Conclusion 10Hz rTMS on the left pre?frontal combined with drugs are helpful to improve the refractory negative symptom of the patients with schizophrenia. Stimulation on both left and right prefrontal lobe could increase serum BDNF concentration.

Electrocardiac signal is one of the most important signals which is used to trigger ventricular assist device (VAD), and the delay time of VAD assistance is very important to get a satisfied result. Proper delay will give VAD relatively enough time to assist, avoiding left heart failure caused by the collision of the heart and VAD during systolic phase. This becomes much more important when the left atrium drainage is insufficient. The aim of our study is to set up an equation to calculate the delay time by RR interval. We try to set up an equation about RR and R-Ao like: R-Ao = A x (RR)n + B(A and B are constant). RR represents the RR interval and R-Ao represents the duration of the period between the peak point of QRS and the point of aortic valve closing; First, calculate RR according to weighting average method, and then, calculate the anticipant R-Ao according to the before-mentioned equation. After adjustment, R-Ao will be used as assistance delay time. R-R interval was measured in 457 selected pediatric patients who were undergiong left heart catheterization and who did not have arrhythmias. From the ECG recording during catheterization, R-R interval was measured while R-Ao was obtained from aortic pressure wave chart; Plot graphs with R-Ao as dependent variable and (RR)n as independent variable; find out correlating model and calculate the arguments A and B of R-Ao = A x (RR)n + B. The results showed that the relation between (RR)1/3 and R-Ao is the most significant, the relation coefficient is 0.733, the regress coefficient is -0.182 (P < 0.001) and the interception is 1.070. This means that R-Ao = (-0.182) (RR) 1/3 + 1.070. The likelyhood degrees of different sections differ markedly. When heart rate is less than 120 beats per min. The relation argument is about 0.733 while 0.45 when heart rate is more than 120 beats per min, Therefore, we can use the equation R-Ao = (-0.182) (RR)1/3 + 1.070 to calculate R-Ao when heart rate is less than 120 beats per min.

Objective To evaluate K-wire leverage reduction and fixation via the triceps tendon for irreducible supracondylar humeral fractures of Gartland types Ⅱ& Ⅲ. Methods From June 2014 to March 2016, 31 children with irreducible supracondylar humeral fracture were treated operatively in our hospital. They were 23 boys and 8 girls, aged from 4 to 11 years ( average, 6. 3 years ) , involving 19 left and 12 right arms. Their clinical manifestations included elbow swelling at the affected arm, obvious tenderness, and limited movement of the elbow. The reduction was conducted under the guidance of C-arm roentgenography by inserting a piece of 3. 0 mm K-wire into the fracture ends via the posterior triceps tendon, inserting 2 pieces of 1. 5 or 2. 0 mm K-wire from the distal lateral humerus to the proximal through the opposite cortical bone, and inserting a piece of 1. 5 or 2. 0 mm K-wire into the opposite cortical bone through the ulnar aspect of the distal humerus. Results The operation time for the 31 patients ranged from 28 to 42 minutes ( 33 minutes on average ) . They were followed up for 6 to 18 months ( 12. 3 months on average ) . All fractures united after 4 to 6 weeks ( 4. 6 weeks on average ) . At the final follow-ups, the lengths of the affected and healthy arms were re-spectively 66. 4 ± 2. 7 cm and 66. 4 ± 2. 9 cm, showing no significant difference ( P> 0. 05 ) . The therapeutic outcomes by the Flynn criteria for the elbow function were rated at the final follow-up as excellent in 26 cases, as good in 4 and as fair in one, yielding an excellent to good rate of 96. 8%. Pin tract infection occurred in 2 patients, but no deep infection or osteomyelitis was observed during follow-ups. Conclusion K-wire leverage reduction and fixation via the triceps is an effective and simple treatment for irreducible supracondylar humeral fractures of Gartland types Ⅱ& Ⅲ.
