Objective To investigate effect of early enteral nutrition supplemented with probiotics on gastrointestinal motility disturbance and nutritional status in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma.Methods Forty patients with severe craniocerebral trauma were randomized into study group (18patients) and control group (22 patients).Patients of both groups received enteral nutrition via nasogastric tube at 24-72 hours after admission,but the patients of study group were also supplemented with probiotics simultaneously.Rate of abdominal distention,vomiting,gastro-oesophageal reflux,gastric retention,constipation and diarrhea were recorded during the whole study.Time to first defecation and time to targeted nutritional goals were also recorded.Prealbumin and transferrin in serum were detected at days 0,4,7,and 15 after the beginning of enteral nutrition.Length of ICU stay was compared between groups.Results There were no significant differences of the two groups in terms of rate of abdominal distention,vomiting,gastric retention and diarrhea.However,less gastro-oesophageal reflux or constipation patients were observed in study group,as compared with control group (P ＜ 0.05).Time to first defecation and time to targeted nutritional goals were shorter in study group,as compared with control group (P ＜ 0.05).Levels of prealbumin and transferrin had no significant differences between the two groups at days 0,4,and 7,but study group showed both were higher than control group at day 15 (P＜0.05).Moreover,length of ICU stay showed no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions Compared with simple enteral nutrition,early enteral nutrition with probiotics improves gastrointestinal motility,facilitates the delivery of enteral nutrition,and further ameliorates nutritional status in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma.

Objective To investigate the capability of bluetongue virus(BTV)dsRNA inducing IFN-β from human cells.Methods Artificial complex interfemn inducer polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (PolyI:C).BTV and BTV dsRNA were added to A549(human lung cancer cell)and HEL(human lung normal cells)culture system in difierent concentrations.IFN-β in culture median was detected by ELISA.Results Though all of the 3 reagents could induce IFN-β,BTV dsRNA significanay induced the highest level of IFN-β.The production of IFN-β was induced by BTV dsRNA in dose dependence.BTV dsRNA induced IFN-β level from HEL Was higher than that from A549(P<0.05).Conclusion BTV dsRNA Can induce IFN-β from human cells effectively,which shows its potential of an endogenous IFN-β inducer.

Objective To investigate the current situation of knowledge of stroke rehabilitation among Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) physicians in 14 tertiary A-level hospitals. Methods A cross section survey was conducted in 14 tertiary A-level hospital in China in May, 2012. A total of 128 TCM physicians completed the questionnaire, which was created according to Medical Care Guideline of Stroke Rehabilitation in China. Results Overall accuracy of stroke rehabilitation basic knowledge was 66.83%, 88.77% of stroke rehabilitation evaluation, 75.12% of stroke rehabilitation treatment. Conclusion The knowledge of stroke rehabilitation is insufficient among TCM physicians in tertiary A-level hospitals, and further training is needed.

In order to study the analgesic effect of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction, this paper discussed material basis and mechanism from the perspective of macromolecules in traditional Chinese medicine. Inspired by the phenomenon of turbidity after boiling Chinese medicine, this experiment took Shaoyao Gancao Decoction as the research object to study the formation process of precipitation during boiling. The results showed that aggregates with a certain shape were formed in the solvent during the boiling process, and the precipitate was obtained by standing and centrifuging. Analysis found that the precipitation was mainly composed of small molecules such as paeoniflorin, albiflorin, liquiritin, glycyrrhizic acid, isoliquiritin and gallic acid, and macromolecules such as protein and polysaccharide. The composition of precipitate was consistent with that of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction, but the analgesic effect of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction after removing the precipitate was significantly reduced. Based on these results, we isolated small molecular compounds, polysaccharides and protein from Shaoyao Gancao Decoction and their contents are 60.4, 700.7 and 207.2 mg·g^-1 respectively. We get the ratio, polysaccharide: small molecule = 11.6∶1, protein: small molecule = 3.4∶1, the precipitate is prepared in the state of boiling. The characterization results showed that the particle size of the precipitate will change significantly after co-heating, and the content determination results showed that the content of the six small molecular compounds which was free in solvent was significantly reduced after the formation of the precipitate. The acetic acid writhing experiment proved that the precipitate has a good analgesic effect, and effectively reduced the levels of inflammatory factors prostaglandin E2 and nitric oxide, and increased the level of anti-inflammatory factor interleukin-10. These results proved that the precipitate in Shaoyao Gancao Decoction is an important material basis for analgesic effect, and macromolecules such as protein and polysaccharide are the main components of the precipitate. The study of macromolecules in the precipitate of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction not only provides new ideas and methods for elucidating the pharmacodynamic material basis of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction, but also provides a reference for analyzing the scientificity of traditional decoction.

Objective To explore the change of S-100? and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)in serum after seizure and medication in children with epilepsy.Methods Serum protein level of S-100? and GFAP were determined by double antibody sandwish enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)in 41 cases with epilepsy and 30 healthy children.The specimen of venous blood were taken by 24 hours after seizure,4 weeks,12 weeks after medicine and their supernate preserved at-80 ℃ after centrifugat.Results Twenty-four hours after seizure,protein level of S-100?,GFAP in serum was significantly higher than that of control group(Pa0.05).Four weeks after medication,protein level of S-100?,GFAP in serum of epileptic group decreased,but still higher than that in control group,and the difference was significant(P

Objective To study the clinical significance of pulmonary membrane diffusing capacity(Dm) and pulmonary capillary blood volume(Vc) in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Methods Spirometry was performed in 38 patients with stable COPD and 35 healthy individuals in resting condition.The changes of pulmonary parameters were obtained and compared between groups. Results Spirometry test revealed that the percent predicted forced expired volume in one second(FEV1),FEV1/forced volume capacity(FVC)and the percent predicted maximal ventilatory volume(MVV) were declined from stage Ⅰin patients with COPD in comparison with healthy individuals,while diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide of lung(DLCO),carbon monoxide diffusing capacity per liter of alveolar(DLCO/VA),Dm and Vc were declined from stage Ⅱ.Dm in patients with COPD of stageⅠwas sig-nificantly decreased compared with the controls,while Vc was increased compared with the controls(both P

Objective To investigate the relationship of up-regulated thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) expression with renal interstitial fibrosis and peritubular capillary loss in chronic aristolochic acid nephropathy(CAAN). Methods Thirty-six male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups, 18 in each one. CAAN rats received 20 mg?kg-1?d-1 aristolochic acid (AA) contained in ethanol extract of Aristolochia manshuriensis Kom by gavage for 5 days in the 1st week, and after a break of 9 days, then 15 mg?kg-1?d-1 AA for 7 days in every other week up to the 12th week. Control group rats (Con) only received tap water by gavage as above. At the end of the 4th, 8th and 12th week, 6 rats in each group were sacrificed. Immunohistochemical staining was performed in rat renal tissue sections to examine the expression of TSP-1, transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1), aminopeptidase P(APP), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and type I collagen (Col I ). Results Compared with Con, the expression levels of interstitial TSP-1, tubular TGF-P1 and interstitial Col I were all up-regulated in CAAN rats (all P
