Objective To detect Nogo-A proteolytic fragment in CNS injury models and investigate its proteolytic mechanism as well as potential functions. Methods Western blot was performed to detect Nogo-A proteolytic fragment after spinal cord transection,brain ischemia and KA-induced cerebral cortex injury in rats. Results We detected Nogo-A proteolytic fragment in spinal cord transection and brain ischemia models,whereas no Nogo-A proteolytic fragment was found in KA-induced cerebral cortex injury model.Conclusion\ CNS mechanical and ischemic injury may induce the degradation of Nogo-A by certain mechanisms.

Objective To explore how to apply SWOT analysis method for analysis in nursing management in special wards,to develop individualized measures,and to evaluate the clinical quality of care. Methods Using SWOT analysis method to investigate the internal strengths factors,internal weaknesses factors,external opportunities factors,and external threats factors and arranged as a matrix in accordance with a certain order,and used systems analysis methods to analyze the factors matching each other,to dr aw the appropriate conclusions,and to develop appropriate countermeasures.30 patients before and 40 patients after the application of SWOT analysis method were selected for effect comparison. Results After the implementation of SWOT analysis method primary care,I-level care,health education quality,satisfaction degree of patients and ward management score were better than those before the implementation. Conclusions SWOT analysis method was intuitive and simple to use.It possesses balance and systematieness,which is suitable for clinical care management.

Objective To investigate the expression pattern and possible function of Nogo-A during neuronal growth. Methods E18 rat hippocampal neurons were primarily cultured both in high-density and low-density conditions. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were performed to detect Nogo-A expression and distributional changes. Results Nogo-A was found in hippocampal neurons, mainly located in the cytoplasm, plasma membrane and neurites. It was detected at the proximal part of all neurites before axon formation. In axons, Nogo-A was enriched in the distal segment and axonal growth cone. In mature neurons, the fiber net work displayed a large number of Nogo-A immunoreactive varicosities. Conclusion The present results indicate that the neuronal Nogo-A may be involved in the process of neurite outgrowth and axonal projection.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of rehabilitation on psychological health in first schizophrenic patients. Methods86 patients were divided into observation group and control group equally. Patients in both groups received medical treatment and routine health education. Patients in observation group received rehabilitation in addition. They were assessed with Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90)before and 8 weeks after treatment.ResultsAfter treatment, the scores of SCL-90 in both groups reduced significantly (P<0.05), and less in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionRehabilitation can improve the psychological health for patients with first schizophrenia.

Objective To explore the characteristics of gait of old hemiplegic patients. Methods 22 old hemiplegic patients were investigated with Motion Analysis. Results The bilateral support phase increased, especially for the affected lateral. The swing phase decreased, as well as the frequency, step length, stride length and walking speed. Their heads flexed forward, but trunks remained upright. The motion of range of shoulder and elbow decreased in the affected lateral (P<0.05), and the angle of flexion and adduction in the affected shoulder and flexion in elbow increases (P<0.05). The motion of range of the affected hip, knee and ankle decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion The walking ability impaired in the old hemiplegic patients, with upper limbs spasticity, vision compensation, etc.

Objective To investigate the effects of locomotor training on improving locomotor function after spinal cord injury(SCI)and the mechanism of spinal cord plasticity.Methods A model of complete thoracic cord transection was established using 84 adult female rats divided into sham,SCI and treadmill training(BWSTT) groups.The hind limb locomotor function of all the rats was evaluated.The fluorescence intensities due to (EphA4),vesicular glutamate transporter 2(VGluT2)and EphA4/VGluT2 double-positive neurons in the ventromedial area of the anterior horn of the lumbar COrd were detected using immunofluorescence double labeling and laser confocal microscopy.Results The rats in the BWSTT group showed better functional recovery in their hind limbs than those in the SCI group.BWSTT was correlated with markedly increased EphA4.VGIuT2 and EphA4/VGluT2 intensities in the ventromedial area.Conclusion BWSTT improves hind limb locomotor function in rats with thoracic cord transections by elevating the expression of EphA4/VGluT2,promoting neuronal plasticity in the lumbar anterior horn.
