Objective To investigate the effect of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation combined with body weight supported treadmill training on neural functional recovery of rats with spinal cord injury.Methods T11 complete spinal cord injury (SCI) was introduced into 40 Sprague-Dawley male rats using an improved simple device,imitating the Allen method.The rats were randomly divided into a stem cell transplantation group,a body weight support treadmill training group,a combined treatment group and a control group,each of 10 assigned according to a random number table.One week after the SCI operation,stem cell transplantation was performed on the rats in the stem cell transplantation group and the combined treatment group.One day before their transplantation,the third passage BMSCs were labeled with 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (Edu).The rats in body weight support treadmill training group and combined treatment group were received body weight support treadmill training,while the other two groups were not given any training.At the 1 st,2nd,3rd,4th and 5th week after SCI modeling,Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) movement function score was used to evaluate the motor function recovery of all rats.At the 5 th week after SCI,immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence staining was applied to detect neural specific markers including the neuron specific enolase (NSE),microtubule associated protein (MAP-1 β) and vimentin (VIM).The survival and differentiation of the transplanted cells,as well as the nerve fiber recovery in the lesion were also observed.Results The average BBB score of the combined treatment group was (6.60 ± 0.97) at the 2nd week after SCI operation,significantly higher than the other 3 groups,while that of the stem cell transplantation group and the body weight support treadmill training group was (5.00 ± 0.67) and (4.80 ± 0.63) respectively,both higher than that of the control group but without significant differences (P > 0.05).In the third week after modeling,however,the value of the stem cell transplantation group rose to (8.00 ± 0.67),significantly higher than that of the body weight support treadmill training group (6.80 ± 0.79).The immuohistochemical staining showed that a variable degree of neural specific markers (NSE,MAP-1 β,VIM) positive cells were observed in the SCI tissues of all groups,with those in the combined treatment group significantly higher than the other 3 groups.The immunofluorescence also found significantly higher fluorescence expression of neural specific protein markers including NSE,MAP-1 βand VIM in the combined treatment group than the rest group,with obvious proliferation and differentiation of nerve fibers.Conclusions Stem cell transplantation combined with partial body weight supported treadmill training can effectively promote the recovery of neural function of rats with spinal cord injury,and the effect is better than solely stem cell transplantation or the weight loss training.

Objective:To explore the effect of grasping force circle training based on knowledge, attitude and practice theory in lung cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheter.Methods:From March 2020 to December 2021, a total of 90 lung cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheter in the Second People's Hospital of Datong were selected as the research objects using the convenient sampling method, and were divided into the control group and the observation group by the random number table method, with 45 cases each. The control group adopted routine grasping force circle training, and the observation group conducted grasping force circle training based on knowledge, attitude and practice theory. The scores of knowledge, attitude and practice, self-management ability and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, the scores of knowledge, attitude and behavior of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of compliance of catheter maintenance, abnormal handling, confidence of catheter management, exercise of catheter, daily observation of catheter, information acquisition and daily life of catheter of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the incidence of complications of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Grasping force circle training based on knowledge, attitude and practice theory can improve the knowledge, attitude and practice level of lung cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheter, improve their self-management ability, and reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective:To test the reliability and validity of a multi-dimensional, quantitative video evaluation system (the Multi-dimensional system) for evaluating hand dysfunction among stroke survivors so as to provide an objective basis for its clinical application.Methods:Sixty stroke survivors with single dysfunctional hand were evaluated using the Multi-dimensional system and also using the Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Assessment (FMA-UE) and the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) and in terms of their active range of hand motion (AROM-H). The Multi-dimensional system′s internal consistency, composite reliability, split-half reliability, parallel-forms reliability as well as intra- and inter-observer reliability were quantified. Its validity was tested in terms of content validity, structural validity, convergent validity and criterion validity.Results:The system′s Cronbach′s α was determined to be 0.86. Its one-dimension composite reliability was 0.939, its split-half reliability coefficient was 0.88 and its parallel-forms reliability was 0.922. The inter-evaluator reliability was between 0.965 and 0.998 [95%CI= (0.919, 0.999)], and the single evaluator ICC value was 0.973 to 0.998 [95%CI= (0.937, 0.999)]. The validity test produced a content validity index of 1, and the Pearson correlation coefficients between each sub-item and the total score were all greater than 0.60. The KMO value for structural validity was 0.882, and there was a common factor in the component matrix which reflected 60.9% of the information in the original variables. The system′s convergent validity AVE was 0.609 with Pearson correlation coefficients between the multidimensional system and the FMA-UE and ARAT both > 0.70.Conclusion:The multi-dimensional quantitative video evaluation system has good reliability and validity in the evaluation of stroke survivors with hand dysfunction.
