Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of comprehensive rehabilitation therapy in treating post-stroke shoulder- hand syndrome.Method Sixty patients with post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus correct posture, rehabilitation training, wax disc method, and intermediate-frequency medicinal penetration therapy; the control group was only by acupuncture plus correct posture. Before and after intervention, the limb function, pain, swelling degree, and activities of daily life were measured, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 66.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). In the treatment group, the indexes (Fugle-Meyer Assessment of upper limb, movement range of shoulder, Global Perceived Effect, Visual Analogue Scale, and swelling score) were significantly changed after intervention (P<0.01). After treatment, the indexes of the treatment group were significantly different from those of the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion Comprehensive rehabilitation therapy can significantly improve pain, swelling, motor function of the affected limb, and activities of daily life in post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome.

Objective To explore the correlation between the amount of residual undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in embryoid bodies and its tumorigenicity.Methods Mouse R1 ESCs were cultured in suspension to form embryoid bodies (EBs).Ten days later,EBs were digested into single cells and then re-plated in standard ESCs culture condition.The residual undifferentiated embryonic stem cells surface maker SSEA-1 was examined by flow cytometry in EBs.The morphology of residual undifferentiated cells in EBs were observed,meanwhile the surface marker SSEA-1 was examined by immunofluorescent staining.EBs were digested into single cells and grouped into 104,105,106,2×106,and then injected into limb muscle of nude mice.The correlation of the amount of cells and its tumorigenicity was observed.Results Residual undifferentiated ESCs were observed after EBs differentiated for 10 days,which displayed clonal morphology and expressed undifferentiated ceil markers of ESCs,such as SSEA-1.The expression rate of undifferentiated cells surface marker SSEA-1 was (13.5±0.75)％ in EBs differentiated for 10 days.Only two millions single cells harvested from EBs were able to form teratoma after being injected into muscle of nude mice for 6 weeks.Mature endoderm,mesoderm and ectoderm tissues could be found in teratoma.No teratoma formed in other groups.Conclusion A certain amount residual undifferentiated ESCs still exist after differentiation of ESCs into EBs.About 2.7× 105 undifferentiated cells are able to form teratoma by iniecting into muscle of nude mice.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare solid supersaturatable self-emulsifying drug delivery system of vinpocetine(VIN-S-sSEDDS) and to study its characteristics in vitro and in vivo.METHODS: VIN-S-sSEDDS was prepared by spray drying using hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC) as supersaturation promoter and dextran-40 as solid carrier.VIN-S-sSEDDS was compared with conventional self-emulsifying drug delivery system containing vinpocetine(VIN-SEDDS) in respects of particle size,in vitro dissolution and bioavailability in rats(ig.).RESULTS: The particle size of VIN-S-sSEDDS(58.78 nm) was smaller than that of VIN-SEDDS(65.12 nm).The accumulative dissolution of VIN-S-sSEDDS within 2 h(88.7%) was higher than that of VIN-SEDDS(58.2%).The bioavailability of VIN-S-sSEDDS in rats(2.30) was higher than that of VIN-SEDDS(1.63).CONCLUSION: Prepared VIN-S-sSEDDS could apparently improve the dissolution and bioavailability of VIN,and it is superior to conventional self-emulsifying preparation.

BACKGROUND:The rabbit adipose-derived stem cells are mostly isolated by type I col agenase digestion, but rarely by explants culture method.
OBJECTIVE:To isolate rabbit adipose-derived stem cells for adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation.
METHODS:The rabbit adipose-derived stem cells were isolated from rabbit adipose by explants culture method, and cultured in vitro fol owed by morphological observation. The grow curve and cellsurface markers CD29, CD44, CD45 of passage 3 cells were analyzed respectively by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and flow cytometry;cells from the third passages were induced for adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation by different revulsants, and cells were examined by oil red O staining and alizarin red staining .
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The rabbit adipose-derived stem cells cultured in vitro exhibited a spindle-shaped appearance and could rapidly expand. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the third passage of rabbit adipose-derived stem cells was positive for CD29, CD44, but negative for CD45. Rabbit adipose-derived stem cells were positive for oil red O staining at 14 days of adipogenic induction, and positive for alizarin red staining at 14 days of osteogenic induction. In conclusion, we could successful y isolate rabbit adipose-derived stem cells using explants culture method.

Objective To study the effect of gastrodin on arterial blood gas and brain injury of rats under simulated high altitude hypoxia environment. Methods A total of 60 adult healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal (N) group, hypoxia model (M) group, rhodiola crenulata (RC) group, low dose of gastrodin (GAS-L) group, medium dose of gastrodin (GAS-M) group and high dose of gastrodin (GAS-H) group (10 for each group). The intragastric administration on rats was continued for 7 days timely in each day. Under simulated 8000m altitude using low pressure oxygen cabin, the arterial blood gas of each group were tested, pathological changes of brain tissues were observed and related indexes of brain were detected after 12h hypoxia. Results Comparing with group N, the blood oxygen partial pressure (PO2), value of blood oxygen saturation (SO2), oxygenation index (PO2/FIO2), Na+ concentration (Na+), actual bicarbonate radical (HCO3–) significantly decreased (P<0.01), lactic acid (Lac), hemoglobin concentration (Hb) significantly increased (P<0.01) and pathological damage was inflicted in group M; and contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in brain tissue significantly increased (P<0.01), content of glutathione(GSH) and activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in brain tissue significantly decreased (P<0.01) in group M. Compared with group M, PO2, SO2 and PO2/FIO2 significantly increased (P<0.01, P<0.05) in group GAS-L; Na+ and HCO3– significantly increased (P<0.01, P<0.05) in three dose groups of GAS; Lac significantly decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05) in group GAS-L and GAS-H. Hb significantly increased (P<0.01) in group GAS-H, a rising trend appeared in group GAS-L but with no statistical significance. Damages of brain tissue were alleviated in group RC and three dose groups of GAS comparing with group M. Compared with group M, MDA significantly decreased (P<0.01) in three dose groups of GAS; there was a decreasing trend of H2O2 but with no statistical significance in three dose groups of GAS; GSH and GSH-Px significantly increased (P<0.01, P<0.05) in three dose groups of GAS. However, three groups of GAS has no dose dependent. Conclusion There was an protective effect of gastrodin on arterial blood gas and brain injury of rats under simulated high altitude hypoxia environment.

Objective To evaluate the appropriate timing of coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) with acute myocardial in- farction(AMI) and to discuss the influence of postoperative mortality on 30 days.Methods 233 patients after CABG were divided into 2 groups,AM/group and unstable angina (UA) group.There were 176 males (75.4%) and 57 females (24.5%).The mean age was (65.6?9.2) years(range 34～86 years).The mean grafts were 3.46?0.89.The complex risk elements between the 2 groups were analyzed to evaluate the independent risk element of death.Results Internal mammary arteries were used in 137 patients (58.8%).The postoperative mortality rate was 4.3 % (10/233).The operative mortality rates(OMR) were closely related to the in- creasing time intervals between AMI and CABG,for less than 3 days was 14.6% (6/41 cases),for 4 to 10 days was 2.7 % (1/37) and for 11 to 30 days was 0.The OMR of AMI less than 3 days has significant difference (P=0.033) comparing with that of unstable an- gina pectoris [2.3% (3/130) ].Conclusion Proper timing of CABG should be done in 3 days after AMI.
