ObjectiveTo observe the effect of rehabilitation treatment on the functional recovery in stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods31 stroke patients with hemiplegia receiving rehabilitation treatment and physical therapy for one to two months were classified as treatment group, and at the same time another 30 stroke inpatients with hemiplegia were chosen for control group without receiving rehabilitation treatment. Two groups were compared to each other according to Fugl Meyer functional scores admision and discharge. ResultsFunctional scores of the two groups at discharge were higher than those at admision. Functional scores in the rehabilitation group were markedly higher than those in the control group(P<0.01). ConclusionsThe rehabilitation treatment has the significant effect on the functional recovery in stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective To explore the effect of purification on monoclonal antibody (MAb) against PGRP by Protein A-Sepharose affinity chromatography, and to provide some based data for the purification of other antibody using the same method. Methods The ascites which include MAb was purified by Protein A-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The purity and activity of MAb was tested by SDS-PAGE and ELISA. The biological function was identified by flow cytometer and immunohistochemistry. Results The average concentration of protein in ascites before purification is 23.62 mg/ml. Before and after purification, the total protein is 148.79 mg and 146.67 mg, respectively. The recovery coefficient of protein is 98.58%. The concentration of MAb in ascites is 5.21 mg/ml averagely. The MAb purity is more than 95 %. The immunoactivity of purified antibody is higher than that of unpurified antibody. Conclusion The purity of MAb against PGRP purified by Protein A-Sepharose affinity chromatography is very high. The immunoactivity of purified antibody is higher than that of unpurified antibody. So the ProteinA-Sepharose affinity chromatography is a rapid, convenient and reliable method for the purification of MAb Against PGRP.

Objective To explore the influence of injury severity on transplantation of embryonic neural stem cells (NSCs) after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods The NSCs were isolated from the hippocampus of fetal rats aged at from 12-14 days.The cells were cultured and proliferated in the serum-free medium and identified in vitro.The animals received transplants in the bilateral hippocampal areas at day 3 following mild or moderate TBI separately.Conventional histology,TUNEL and immunohistology were examined to detect BrdU,NSE,GFAP,GalC,NGF and BDNF at day 14 post-implantation.Results BrdU-labeled positive cells in the bilateral hippocampus in the mild TBI group were more than those in the moderate TBI group at day 14 post-implantation.Significant differentiation of the astrocytes recognized as GFAP positive cells in the bilateral hippocampus was found at day 14 post-implantation.The expression of NGF and BDNF proteins was increased following TBI,the most evident in the mild TBI group.Conclusion The influence of injury severity on transplantation may be associated with the change of the microenvironment after TBI.

Objective To study the relationship between macular pigment optical density (MPOD) and serum concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin in an adult population.Methods Twenty patients with mild cataract and 39 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study,including 15 males and 44 females.The average age was 43.75 years.Fifty-three subjects were non-smokers and 6 male subjects were smokers.Two subjects preferred meat diet,22 preferred meat-less diet,and 35 have balanced diet.MPOD was measured using heterochromatic flicker photometry at 0.25,0.5,1.0 and 1.75 degrees,and serum concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography.The relationship between MPOD and serum concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin was analyzed.The differences of serum lutein and zeaxanthin between different gender,smokers and non-smokers and subjects with different dietary pattern were also analyzed.Results MPOD at 0.25,0.5,1.0 and 1.75 degrees were 0.59,0.48,0.34 and 0.18,and the average concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin were (0.45± 0.16) μmol/L and (0.11 ± 0.04) μmol/L respectively.Serum concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin in males were slightly higher than that in females,but it was not statistically significant (t=1.13,0.86;P=0.27,0.40).The differences of serum lutien and zeaxanthin between smokers and non-smokers (t=0.15,-0.11;P=0.87,0.91),among subjects of 3 dietary patterns groups were not statistically significant (Flutein=3.87,4.05,0.18;P=0.83,0.81,0.99.Fxeaxanbin=0.99,1.51,0.52;P=0.85,0.68,0.72).There was no correlation between MPOD and serum concentration of lutein (r=-0.06,-0.02,-0.07,0.03;P>0.05) and zeaxanthin(r=0.02,0.12,0.09,0.11;P>0.05).Conclusion MPOD was not statistically significantly correlated with serum concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin in the studied population.

Objective To understand the schedule and effectiveness of water-improving defluoridation projects comprehensively in control of fluorosis in drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis areas in Shaanxi Province,and to provide a scientific basis for making strategies in prevention and control the disease for the next step.Methods The progress of drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis water-improving defluoridation projects and operation condition were investigated in Shaanxi (fluoride content of drinking water was greater than 1.2 mg/L in the endemic areas) in 2014,and children aged 8 to 12 in 32 epidemic villages of six counties including Jingbian,Dingbian,Dali,Jingyang,Qian and Liquan were selected to survey dental fluorosis.Results In Shaanxi Province,the number of villages with water fluorine content of more than 1.2 mg/L was 5 005 and water improvement rate was 83.42% (4 175/5 005),water-improving projects operated normally rate was 85.05% (3 551/4 175),and scraped was 37,accounted for 0.89% (37/4 175).There were 830 epidemic villages without water-improving projects in Shaanxi Province,and high fluoride exposed population was 579 400,mainly distributed in Yulin,Xianyang,Weinan and Yan'an cities.A total of 1 849 children aged 8 to 12 in the 6 counties were examined,the detection rate of dental fluorosis was 56.57% (1 046/1 849),the index of dental fluorosis was 1.11.Conclusion In drinking-water-borne fluorosis epidemic areas of Shaanxi,the improved-water rate is generally high,and the normal operation of waterimproving projects is overall good,but the measures for water-improving defluoridation must be reinforced and improved.

Objective: To investigate the improving effects of different moxibustion therapies on colonic injury in rats with ulcerative colitis (UC), and on the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA.Methods: Rats model of UC was made with immune methods and local stimulation. The models were treated with different moxibustion therapies 14 times, and then the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA were tested in the colonic tissue with fluorescent quantitative PCR. Results: (1)General scores of colon and histologic scores of injury were improved in all treatment groups except the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01); (2) The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in the model rats of UC was higher than that in the normal rats (P<0.01), whereas Bax lower (P<0.01); (3) After treatments, the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA was lower in the herb cake-partitioned moxibustion, ginger-partitioned moxibustion, and garlic-partitioned moxibustion groups than that in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01), and Bax mRNA in the herb cake-partitioned and ginger-partitioned groups was higher (P<0.05). Conclusion: Herb cake-partitioned moxibustion, ginger-partitioned moxibustion, garlic-partitioned moxibustion, and mild moxibustion could improve the pathological injury in UC rats. Herb cake-partitioned moxibustion, ginger-partitioned moxibustion, and garlic-partitioned moxibustion could inhibit the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and Bax mRNA in the colonic tissue of UC rats to regulate the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax mRNA.
