BACKGROUND:Sarcopenia is the muscle loss in the elderly with aging, and it is closely related to the
degradation of muscle function in the elderly. The research on the mechanism of sarcopenia as wel as effect of movement intervention is developed.
OBJECTIVE:To summary the mechanisms of sarcopenia cel level as wel as the effect of movement intervention.
METHODS:A computer-based retrieval was conducted on CNKI database and PubMed database for literatures on sarcopenia and elderly resistance training from January 2000 to December 2012. The key words were
“sarcopenia, muscle, resistance training, aging, protein metabolism”. The literatures on sarcopenia, protein
metabolism and resistance training were included, and the obsolete and repetitive literatures and the literatures lack of credibility were excluded. Final y, 58 literatures were included for analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Resistance training can inhibit sarcopenia to a certain extent, so that to increase muscle mass in the elderly and promote the recombinant of motor units. But the recombinant is limited to the
mutual conversion between the type Ⅱa and Ⅱb fibers. Resistance training combined with protein supplement can effectively promote elderly muscle reconstruction;the elderly muscle anabolic response confrontation
reaction after resistance training is slower than young people, but the inflammatory response after training is stronger than younger people. However, Omega-3 has a good effect on the elimination of such inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the application of ultrasound localization during craniocerebral operations. Methods Thirty-one cases with intracranial space occupying lesion were surgically treated with guidance of ultrasound, which was applied to real-time localization while revealing skull, tracing during operation and evaluation of the operation's effect before locking up the skull. Results In our group, 31 cases were checked using ultrasound localization during operation. Ultrasound could level the lesion's size and position, which was in accordance with the result of CT and MRI before operation. With the application of ultrasound localization, the lesion could be probed exactly. Conclusions Ultrasound localization during operation is simple, effective and secure, and is helpful to enhance the accuracy of the craniocerebral operations, reduce the blindly exploration, shorten the operation time, and what is more important, reduce unnecessary tissue damage of normal brain tissue, which obviously possess much clinical utilization.

Objective:To study the effects of group counseling which based on interpersonal activities and aimed at the college students with computer gaming addiction in China.Methods:Seventeen college students with computer game addiction were chosen as the experimental group,and 10 college students from another college were chosen as the control group.The two groups had no difference in the scores of Computer Gaming Addiction Invention(CGAI)and several other scales before group counseling.There were a pre-test and a post-test separately set when the group counseling was started and finished,focused on CGAI and negative emotions and cognitions.Results:In post-test,the score of CGAI in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group[(92.6±16.7)vs.(105.9±13.0)] and lower than that in pre-test(98.9±16.4)by analysis of covariance(Ps<0.01).The scores of Beck Depression Inventory(BDI),Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),and the negative cognition of oneself in socical settings in experimental group were also lower than those in control group [(6.4±7.9)vs.(13.5±5.6),(39.7±6.4)vs.(49.9±10.3),(15.1±4.3)vs.(19.9±3.0),Ps<0.01],while the score of Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale(SES)was higher than that of the control group [(29.3±2.9)vs.(24.6±4.8),P<0.01].Conclusion:Group counseling based on interpersonal activities has obvious effects on the college students with computer gaming addiction.

Objective To investigate the prenatal or intrapartum risk factors,resuscitation and its outcomes among full term but dying newborns after severe asphyxia (Apgar score was 0～1 at 1 min after birth).Methods Totally,39 dying full-term newborns,who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Shenzhen Maternity&Child Healthcare Hospital,Southern Medical University from January,2003 to June,2014 were analyzed retrospectively.Information on perinatal influencing factors and outcomes of resuscitation were collected and analyzed with Chi-square test.Results All of the babies were divided into died (n=7,18％,one refused to further treatment) and survived group [n=32,among which 15 suffered from hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) (seven mild,seven moderate and one severe case)].Fetal heart beat was undetectable in more babies in the died group than in the survived group [2/7 vs 0％(0/32),x2=4.695,P=0.028].There were 19 infants with Apgar score ≤ 5 at 5 min,and seven of them died (7/19).The other 12 survived with HIE occurred in eight cases (four mild,three moderate and one severe case) and the rest four babies did not report any neurological complications.Among the ten infants with Apgar score ≤ 5 at 10 min,seven died or refused to treatment and the other three survived with moderate HIE.Conclusions Most of the dying term babies may have promising outcomes after effective resuscitation,especially for those with Apgar score over 5 at 5 min.However,for those dying term babies with Apgar score remains ≤ 5 at 5 min,management after resuscitation should be strengthened to reduce the occurrence of any sequelae or complications.

Calcineurin inhibitor screening should benefit from the strengths of each method. This paper reviews three calcineurin inhibitor screening methods:yeast positive screening model, yeast reporter gene high through- put screening model and calcineurin activity detection method. We have compared the range of application, advantages and disadvantages of each method, and combined effect of multiple methods. The yeast positive screening model can prevent the false positiveness caused by bacteriostat by using growth zooms instead of inhibition zooms. The yeast reporter gene high through-put screening model is suitable for pilot screening among a wide range of samples and is more efficient than the other methods. The calcineurin activity detection method can directly report the inhibitory ratio to a specific target. This review is expected provide a model-selection reference for the development of novel low-toxic calcineurin inhibitors.

Objective To explore the association between toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and susceptibility of hand, foot and mouth disease caused by enterovirus (EV)71 infection.Methods The genotype of SNP (rs179019 and rs3853839) was determined in 775 EV7l-infected cases (including 439 mild cases and 336 severe cases) and 748 healthy control cases with TaqMan assay.The difference of allele frequencies was compared.The difference of TLR7 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) derived from different SNP genotype carriers was detected.PBMCs derived from different SNP genotype carriers were stimulated by imiquimod and the TLR7-specific interferon-α(IFN-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretions were detected.Logistic regression was used to analyze for genotype frequency.Results The frequencies of rs3853839 genotype CC and CG in female patients of severe group were significantly higher than mild group (rs3853839 GC: OR=0.36,95%CI:0.14-0.82, P=0.01;rs3853839 CC: OR=0.19,95%CI:0.11-0.69,P=0.01).In addition, the frequency of rs3853839 genotype C in severe male group was significantly higher compared with that in mild group (OR=0.35,95%CI:0.19-0.63, P=0.01).Female carriers with rs3853839 genotype CC had significantly lower TLR7 mRNA expression than genotype GC and GG (CC vs GG: P=0.005;CC vs GC: P=0.016).Male carriers with rs3853839 genotype C also had significantly lower TLR7 mRNA expression than genotype G (C vs G: P=0.004).After stimulation of imiquimod, the expression of IFN-α (CC vs GG, P=0.001;CC vs GC: P=0.026) and IL-6 productions (CC vs GG: P=0.001;CC vs GC: P=0.011) were significantly lower in female carriers with rs3853839 genotype CC.The same patterns were observed in male carriers with rs3853839 genotype CC (IFN-α: P=0.003;IL-6: P=0.018).Conclusions The rs3853839C allele is the risk factor of severe infection of EV71, which may be due to specific cytokine profiles in rs3853839C allele carriers in children.
