Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2001;7(2):60-61
ObjectiveTo summarize the application of pressure support ventilation (PSV) on cervical spinal cord injured patients with respiratory dysfunction.MethodSixteen patients were studied.Respiratory rate (RR),tidal volume (VT), minute ventilation (VE),peak inspiration pressure (PIP), dynamic lung conpliance (Cdyn), blood pH value, PaO2 and PaCO2 were measured under the different pressure levels of PSV. ResultAll parameters correlated with the level of PSV. Conclusion Appropriate PSV levels can make the respiratory parameters close to the reasonable level and respiratory functional status for the cervical cord injured patients with respiratory dysfunction.
2. Chronic salt-loading downregulates large-conductance Ca2+- activated potassium channel in mesenteric arterial smooth muscle cells from SD rats
Academic Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University 2009;21(4):215-221
Objective: Large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channel modulates vascular smooth muscle tone. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that salt, one of the factors which significantly influence blood pressure (BP), can regulate BKCa activity and then elevate blood pressure. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 6 weeks were randomized into high salt diet group (HS) and control group, fed with high salt diet (containing 5% NaCl) and standard rat chow (containing 0.4% NaCl) respectively for 16 weeks. Tail systolic blood pressure (SBP), body weight (BW) and 24-hour urinary output were tested every 4 weeks. Content of urinary Na+ was detected using flame spectrophotometrical method. At the end of 16 weeks, all the rats were killed, the mesenteric arteries were obtained, and single mesenteric smooth muscle cells were isolated at once. The resting membrane potential (Em), the total potassium currents and the currents after perfusion with TEA solution of the cells were all recorded by whole cell patch clamp. The transcriptions of BKCa channel α and β1 subunits in mesenteric arterial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) of each group were calculated by real-time RT-PCR. Results: There was no difference in SBP and BW at each stage between control group and HS group; the urinary Na+ level in HS animals was elevated significantly after 4 weeks. The negative values of Em in HS group VSMCs were reduced compared with those in the control group. Transcriptions of β1 subunit of BKCa channels were decreased in HS group, but α subunit transcriptions did not differ between the two groups. Whole cell potassium currents did not differ between HS and control groups, but BK Ca currents of HS group VSMCs were lower than those of control group ones. Conclusion: Even without elevating SBP, salt-loading can still modulate the expression and activity of BKCa channel in the mesenteric arterial VSMC and elevate vascular tone.

4.Current status of aflatoxin pollution and risk assessment of peanut and related products in China
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2021;33(12):1228-1230
Peanuts, corn and other food products are prone to aflatoxins (AF). AF was listed as a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), especially aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), as it is considered the most prevalent and toxic. China is a big peanut producer, so carrying out pollution investigation and risk assessment in peanuts and their products is crucial to formulate prevention measures, protect export trade and maintain health. This paper summarizes the AF pollution of peanuts and their products in the Huang-Huai-Hai Basin, Yangtze River Basin, Southeast Coast and Northeast region of China from 2015 to 2021, and the application of dietary AF exposure risk assessment methods, providing a basis for strengthening the supervision of AF pollution in peanuts and their products, and ensuring food safety.
5.Effect of Compound Aescin Gel on Massage of the Commonly Encountered Diseases in Orthopedic Traumatology
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(4):343-344
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of compound Aescin gel on the massage of the commonly encountered diseases in orthopedic traumatology.MethodsAll 219 patients (acute sprain of waist, radiohumeial epicondylitis, frozen shoulder) were divided into the treatment group (n=112) and control group (n=107). The treatment group was treated with compound Aescin gel in massage treatment, and the control group treated only with massage.ResultsThe recovery rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionCompound Aescin gel used in massage can improve effect of commonly encountered diseases in orthopedic traumatology.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2003;9(5):273-274
ObjectiveTo study the effects of early intervention on physical psychomotor development of premature infants.Methods120 survival premature infants were divided into two groups randomly.The infants in intervention group accepted early intervention according to the Early Intervention Program of 0-2 Years Infants,while that in the control did not. The physical and neurological condition and intelligence were tested periodically till 2 years old.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups on physical development.The mental development index(MDI) and psychomotive development index(PDI) in intervention group showed higher than those in control group (P<0.05 and P<0.01 respectively). The abnormal rate of MDI and PDI,the incidence of cerebral palsy in intervention group was lower obviously than that in control group (P<0.01).ConclusionsThe application of early intervention could improve the prognosis of premature infants.

Chinese Medical Ethics 2001;(1):60-61
the Purpose of spermatozoon storerooms are setting up for solving the sterile problem.But some storerooms are found for commercial aim such as the spermatozoon storeroom,for celebrities or doctors'.It should not be approved of.The reasons is that it conflicts with such concepts as life equality,ethical relationship among families,and option for sterile couples.We should prohibit the establishment of the spermatozoon storeroom for the commercial purposes.
