Objective To investigate the role of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Methods Immunohistochemical S-P method was employed to detect the expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in the ectopic tissues and eutopic endometrium of 22 patients with endometriosis and 20 normal controls. Results The expression of MMP-2 in glandular cells was significantly higher than those of uterine endometrium from women with and without endometriosis (P0.05). The expressions of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 were not related to the degree of endometriosis. Conclusion The increased expression of MMP-2 and the decreased expression of TIMP-2 in the ectopic endometriotic tissues result in the higher ratio of MMP-2/TIMP-2 that can make ectopic endometrial tissues have a greater capacity to invade and play an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Objective To investigate the intakes of dietary nutrients and the growth and development status among children with autism,to propose scientific basis for developing further interventions.Methods Dietary intakes of nutrients were obtained with the method of 24-hour dietary review for 3 days.Meanwhile,the height and weight were detected among the subjects;Z-score was also adopted to evaluate nutritional status.Results 1.About 31.5% of the 111 cases with autism were overweight or obesity and 8.1% of the children were acute or chronic malnutrition.2.The intakes of 11 nutrients were insufficient,especially VA,VC,VB6,folate,calcium and zinc,had a serious shortage that less than 60% of the recommended intakes.3.The crowd was widespread lack of nutrients,39.6% of the cases with nutritional deficiency in varying degrees,the incidences of calcium and zinc deficiency were reach up to 88%.Conclusions The nutritional deficiency and overnutrition were simultaneous among the children with autism,their dietary nutritional supplement were generally inadequate.More sufficient measures and rational diet are necessary to improve the nutritional status for the autistic children.

Objective To report 1 case with renal immunoglobulin light and heavy chain deposited disease (IgG-κ light chain and γ1 heavy chain).Methods The clinical manifestations,serum immunofixation electrophoresis,light and heavy chain abnormalities of blood and urine,bone marrow biopsy and renal biopsy data laboratory data were recorded and analyzed.Results A 63-year-old woman presented with massive proteinuria,microscopic hematuria,hypertension,anemia and serum IgG-κ light chain.Bone marrow aspirate revealed 4％ plasma cells.Renal biopsy revealed nodular glomerulopathy with congo red staining-negative.Immunofluorescence showed that κ light chain and IgG1 (γ1 heavy chain) were deposited along the glomerular basement membranes (GBM) and tubular basement membranes (TBM).Electron-microscopy revealed electrondense deposits that delineate the outer aspect of TBM and endothelial aspect of GBM.Conclusion The diagnosis of renal immunoglobulin light and heavy chain deposited disease (IgG-κ light chain and γ1 heavy chain) should be addressed combine with clinical and is pathology,especially with immune pathological examination.

Objective To observe the effects of extracts of ginkgo leaves (EGL) on acute myocardial infarction, acute myocardial ischemia and blood hemorheology.Methods The effects of EGL on acute myocardial infarction were observed in dogs model induced by the ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery; effects on acute myocardial ischemia were observed on rats model caused by intravenous injection of pituitrin and effects on blood hemorheology were observed in rabbits. Results EGL significantly reduced the myocardial infarction area, decreased the activities of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase in dogs, reduced the elevation of ST segment of electrocardiogram in rats with myocardial ischemia and decreased whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity in rabbits. Conclusion EGL has protective effect against myocardial ischemic injury and can improve the parameters of blood hemorheology in rabbits. Its mechanism may be concerned with the reduction of the myocardial infarction area and infarction degree and the relief of acute myocardial ischemia.

Objective To investigate the effects of exercising on a cycle ergometer on lower limb motor function and the walking ability of hemiplegic stroke patients.MethodsSixty hemiplegic stroke patients were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group with 30 in each. Both groups were treated with routine rehabilitation, but the treatment group also undertook cycle ergometer training. The training lasted for 10-20 min/d, 6 d/week for 6 weeks. All patients were assessed with the Fugl-Meyer lower limb assessment ( FMA), functional ambulation category (FAC) classification and the modified Barthel index (MBI) pretreatment and 6 weeks post treatment.ResultsBefore intervention there was no significant difference between the two groups in any of the assessments. Six weeks post treatment, the average FMA, FCA classification and MBI results in the treatment group were significantly better than those pretreatment and better than those in the control group.ConclusionsCycling exercise combined with routine rehabilitation training can distinctly improve the motor function of the lower limbs and the walking ability of hemiplegic stroke patients.

Objective To explore the effects of virtual reality (VR) combined with motor imagery therapy on the upper limb function of hemiplegic stroke survivors.Methods Thirty-nine hemiplegic stroke patients were divided randomly into a treatment group (n =20) and a control group (n =19).Both groups were treated with motor imagery therapy,but the treatment group also received VR training lasting 20 min/day,6 days/week for 8 weeks.All of the patients were assessed with the Fugl-Meyer (FMA) upper limb assessment,the modified Barthel index (MBI) and electromyography at the beginning and after eight weeks of treatment.Results Before the intervention there was no significant difference between the groups in any of the assessments.After eight weeks of treatment,all the assessment results in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group.Conclusion Virtual reality combined with motor imagery therapy can distinctly improve the upper limb motor function of hemiplegic stroke survivors and their ability in the activities of daily living.

Objective To observe the influence of psychology intervention and family rehabilitation guides on psychological status and quality of life of patients with spinal cord injury(SCI). Methods 24 SCI patients were divided randomly into treatment(n=12) and control(n=12) groups. The treatment group was given to psychology intervention and family rehabilitation, the psychological status and ADL were evaluated individually by SCL-90 and Barthel index on pre-guide and post-guide of six months.Results The discrepancy got statistic meaning on degree of SCL-90 and Barthel index on pre-guide and post-guide（P<0.05）. Conclusion Effective psychology intervention and family rehabilitation guides could impove psychological status and enhance quality of life of patients.

Objective To find out the brain function characters of visual information integration and visual working memory with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children. Methods 1∶ 1 case-control study was used on the study. 45 ADHD children who met DSM-IV criteria were recruited as case group,45 normal children from primary school were chosen as control group. Two groups children received the test of contour-integration,positional noise, temporal order memory, pattern memory. Results The ADHD double eyes' contour integration ( ( 1.62 ± 0. 81 ), ( 1.69 ± 0.87 ) ) were significantly lower than the control group' ( (2.02 ± 1.10), ( 1.98 ±0.81 )). There was no significant difference of double eyes' positional noise between case group( (1.98 ±0.89 ), ( 2.20 ± 1.10 ) ) and the control group ( ( 2.20 ± 0. 97 ), ( 2.30 ± 0. 83 ) ). The temporal order memory,pattern memory ( ( 1.89 ± 1.30), ( 1.18 ± 0.44) ) showed significantly lower in case group(P＜ 0.05 ) than that in control group ( ( 2.98 ± 1.25 ), ( 1. 44 ± 0. 66) ). Conclusion Results indicate that children with ADHD have deficiency in visual perception and the ability of visual information integration, and have significantly deficiency in visual working memory and executive-function.

AIM　To study the characteristic of th e rapidly activating component (Ikr) and the slowly activating compone nt (Iks) of the delayed rectifier K+ current in guinea pig hypertrop hi ed ventricular myocytes induced by thyroxine. METHOD　The whole c ell patch clamp techniques were used. RESULTS　In hypertrophied ve ntricular myocytes, the magnitude of IKr and IKs were great ly augmented with more positive depolarizations, and the degree of increase of IKr tail and IKs were greater than that of IKr an d IKs tail, respectively. By measuring the amplitude of tail currents which reflected the degree of activation, the activation curve of IKs was shifted toward more negative potential, but that of IKr was marked ly unaffected in hypertrophied myocytes. CONCLUSION　Hypertrophied ventricular myocytes induced by thyroxine obviously increased IKr and IKs.
