Objective To analyze the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with speech rehabilitation training in the treatment of dysarthria after stroke.Methods 88 patients with dysarthria after stroke were selected as study subjects,and they were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group,44 cases in each group. The control group was treated with speech rehabilitation training,and the treatment group was treated with acupuncture combined with speech rehabilitation training.At the end of treatment,the dysarthria efficacy,a number of aand the incidence of adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups.Results The cure rate(9.09%) and total effective rate (77.27%)in the control group were significantly lower than those in the treatment group (25.00%,97.73%),and the differences were statistically significant(χ2 =3.94,8.42,all P <0.05).Before treat-ment,there was no significant difference between the two groups in the number of a(P >0.05),after treatment,the number of ain the control group was (7.39 ±3.67),which was significantly lower than (16.32 ±7.83)in the treatment group(t =4.20,P <0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reaction between two groups had no statistically significant difference(χ2 =3.11,P >0.05).Conclusion For post -stroke patients with dysarthria,acupuncture combined with speech rehabilitation training has good treatment effect,and the method can increase the number of aof patients,and has high security,it is worthy of widely application in clinic.

BACKGROUND: Over the past several years, Clostridium difficile has become a major healthcare-associated pathogen. Fecal bacteriotherapy has been reported as an effective intervention for treating recurrent C. difficile infection by restoring the normal intestinal microbiota. METHODS: Articles on fecal bacteriotherapy were collected through PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases using the keywords "Clostridium difficile," "feces," "fecal transplantation," "fecal microbiota transplantation," and "fecal bacteriotherapy." Using a systematic literature review, variables of interest from articles that met the inclusion criteria were extracted and summarized. RESULTS: Among 141 articles that were published in English from January 1, 2000 to August 31, 2012, 8 studies were selected for analysis after assessing the titles, abstracts, and full contents. Fecal bacteriotherapy procedures varied with respect to donor selection, screening, infusion route, and preparation of the suspension. Donors were mostly family members or relatives, and donor screening included tests for blood borne and stool pathogens. Selected infusion routes were colonoscopy (62.5%), nasogastric tube (25%), and enema (12.5%). The success rate was reported to be 73-100%. There was a lack of a standard procedure for fecal bacteriotherapy in all of the selected studies. CONCLUSION: Fecal bacteriotherapy is an effective intervention for combating C. difficile infection that has a high success rate and no adverse effects. This therapy would be helpful for infection control in hospital settings by facilitating early eradication of C. difficile infection.

153 TMD patients were randomized to be treated by closed treatment of Kenalog(78 cases)and prednisolone(75 cases)respec-tively.Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0.4-week-follow-up showed that Kenalog closed treatment was more effective than prednisolone(P<0.05).

After the challenges facing reading therapy and the methods to provide reading therapy service in academic libraries were described , the steps and measures to provide reading therapy service using mobile telephone were pointed out.

Objective To observe the efficacy and clinical security of percutaneous coronary intervention combined with edaravone injection in treating ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. Methods Group A was treated with conventional percutaneous coronary intervention plus edaravone injection , while group B was treated only with conventional percutaneous coronary intervention. Outcomes were compared between these two groups after the intervention. Results The two groups were successfully operated by percutaneous coronary intervention treatment. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction,TIMI myocardial perfusion grade and ST-segment recovery after operation had no significant difference. After 48 h treatment, MDA in serum of group A was (3.16 ± 0.12)mol/L. Serum MDA content in group B, was (4.38 ± 0.13)mol/L. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In addition, 7 d cardiac function indexes and cardiac arrhythmia rate were lower than those in group B (P < 0.05). Conclusions The combination use of percutaneous coronary intervention and edaravone can effectively improve heart function in patients shortly in the treatment of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction.Hhowever, the further studies are still needed to evaluate the long term efficacy.

The incidence of cardiovascular dysfunction in the early stage of sepsis is high,early detection and timely treatments are beneficial to reduce the mortality of sepsis.Biological markers are known to play a very important role in detecting and treating sepsis.The aim of this article was to review the relationship between Pentraxin 3 and sepsis with cardiovascular dysfunction.

Objective:To construct a recombinant adeno-associated virus vector rAAV2-PD-L1 and to investigate the biological efficiency of rAAV2-PD-L1-transfected vascular endothelial cells in co-stimulating secretion of cytokines by T cells.Methods: Mouse PD-L1 cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR from total RNA of mouse liver tissues and was cloned into shuttle vector pSNAV1;the products were then transferred into BHK21 cells by lipofectamine and rAAV2-PD-L1 was screened out.Mouse vascular endothelial cell line 2F-2B was infected with rAAV2-PD-L1 and were co-cultured with activated mouse T cells,and the IFN? content was identified by ELISA in the supernatant.Results: The sequences of PD-L1 cDNA and pSNAV-PD-L1 were confirmed to be correct.The recombinant rAAV2-PD-L1 was verified by PCR and SDS-PAGE analysis.The virus physical titer was 4?10~(12) virus genome/ml and the protein concentration was 0.355 mg/ml.There was a high expression of PD-L1 in mouse vascular endothelial cells infected with rAAV2-PD-L1.The content of IFN? in the culture supernatant was significantly decreased 48 hours after co-culture.Conclusion: The recombinant rAAV2-PD-L1 can infect vascular endothelial cells and inhibit secretion of IFN? by activated T cells through costimulation.

The experimental study of the lesions of red cell membrane caused by peroxi-dation was performed,indicating that having oxidized by superoxide anions,thered cell lesions in appearance were that there was formed the high molecular pro-tein cross-linked polymer,and the conjugated diene level was increased.And thesimilar feature of oxidation lesions was observed in the stored red cells.It wasshowed that antioxidation enzymes could inhibit the forming of protein cross-linkedpolymer and have certain protecting effect on red cell membrane being subject tolesion.

Objective; To evaluate the role of total mesorectal excision in radical resection of rectal carcinoma. Methods:The data of 538 consecutive patients with middle and lower rectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively. These patients were treated with total mesorectal excision between January 1997 and March 2004. Results;All 538 patients had middle or lower rectal cancer, 322 male, and 216 female. No patients died perioperatively and presented presacral hemorrhea. A total of 420 patients were treated by anterior rectal resection; 118 patients had to undergo abdomino - perineal resection. 403 patients were followed - up (12-60 months). The rate of local recurrence was 4.5%. 1 year and 5 - year survival rates after curative resection were 90. 3% and 65. 8% respectively. Conclusion; In our experience, with TME technique, the postoperative mortality and complication would not be increased. The anus - saving rate is increased and the patients'living quality is improved. These findings recommend TME as gold standard procedure for middle and lower rectal cancer.
