Balance function is one of injured functions needed rehabilitation after stroke. It is also the considerable signal of the restoration for motor function, which being thought highly in the field of rehabilitation. In some aspect, the restoration of balance function cannot be substituted by stance. The authors mainly discussed the mechanism and issues of balance training by which the balance function of stroke patients in chronic period improved, based on nerve compensative mechanism.

AIM: To explore the role of intestinal lymphatic pathway in MODS pathogenesis by two-hit in rats. METHODS: Mesenteric lymph was diverted by ligating mesenteric lymph duct, and the MODS model was established by two-hit method. 45 Wistar rats were divided into three groups: mesenteric lymph duct ligation group, non-ligation group and sham group. All rats facilitated blood withdrawal for serum sample at pre-experiment and after 24 h. Then organs including kidney, liver, lung, heart and intestine were collected for preparing homogenate. The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF?), nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined. RESULTS: It showed that the MODS model was established successfully. After two-hit, the TNF?, NO 2 -/NO 3 -, NOS, iNOS and MDA in serum of non-ligation group were significantly increased than that in pre-experiment and sham group, and SOD was significantly lower ( P

Objective To compare the reliability of modificatory method and traditional method in preparing ischemic stroke rat model in rehabilitation period.Methods 173 female SD rats were divided into traditional method group(n=63),modificatory method group(n=109) and control group(n=37).In the traditional method group,the thread embolus was inserted through the left external carotid artery(ECA),and then left ECA and pterygopalatine artery(PPA) were ligated.In the modificatory method group,the thread embolus was inserted through the left internal carotid artery(ICA) and only left common carotid artery(CCA) was ligated.In the control group,the thread embolus was not inserted,only CCA was ligated.Results There was no significant difference in neurofunction score between the modificatory method group and the traditional method group(P>0.05).The operating time was significantly shortened(P<0.01) and the survival time was significantly prolonged in the modificatory method group compared with that of the traditional method group(P<0.01).The two-month survival rate was 54.13% in the modificatory method group and 31.75% in the traditional method group receptively,the former was significantly longer than the latter(P<0.01).Conclusion The ischemic stroke model established by modificatory methods is not only precisely and reliable but also save operating time and improve survival rate of the animals compared with the traditional method.The main death causes of animals are large-area cerebral edema and electrolyte imbalance after operation.

Objective To study the effects of constraint-induced movement train (CIMT) on the neurological medullary sheath in the rats after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Methods 55 SD rats were randomly divided into CIMT group and nature recovery (NR) group after MCAO. The CIMT group were trained with balance beam and rolling cage everyday, with restrictting the movement of the intact upper limbs. The NR group lived in the same condition. The rats in CIMT group were assessed with ethology 5 d, 10 d, 15 d, 30 d and 60 d after operation respectively. At last, 5 rats of each group were checked with MRI, then they were immolated for myelin staining. Results The balance and muscle strength of CIMT group improved better compared with the NR ones (P<0.05), as well as the diameter and the demyelination of neurofibril in the infarcted area. Conclusion CIMT can collect more functional neurofibra and decrease myelinolysis.

AIM: To study the protective effect of mese nt eric lymph duct ligation on the functions of liver, kidney and heart, and morpho logy in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) rats subjected to two-hit. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: the me senteric lymph duct ligation group, the non-ligation group and sham group. The M ODS model of two-hit was established by bleeding and LPS administration in both ligation group and non-ligation group. After 24 h, all rats were cannulated to f acilitate blood withdrawal for serum sample, then all rats were killed and organ s including kidney, liver, lung and heart were collected for making microscopic sectio ns. The biochemical indexes of hepatic and renal functions and myocardial enzyme in s erum were determined before and after experiment. RESULTS: After two-hit, the serum contents of AST, ALT, TBA, BUN , Cr and LDH-1 in both non-ligation group and ligation group, and UA content in non-ligation group were obviously increased than those in pre-experiment and sh am group (P
