Objective To improve clinicians' understanding of tuberculosis as the adverse event of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antagonists therapy. Methods Two rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were reported to develop lymphoid tuberculosis and pulmonary tuberculoma after TNF-α antagonists therapy. The relevant literature were reviewed. Results The first ease was a 62 year-old female RA patient. Her skin PPD reaction was negative and chest X-ray was normal before the therapy. Following 4 doses of infliximab injection (each dose of 3 mg/kg) which were completed within 3 months, the patient developed fight supraclavicular lymphoids tuberculosis in the 5th month after the last treatment. The patient completely recovered after lymphoids excision and antituberculosis therapy with 4 anti-tuberculosis medications combination. The second case was a 44 year-old female RA patient. She did not take the skin PPD test and chest X-ray before the therapy. The patient developed fever and chest distress after etanercept therapy (25 mg hypodermic twice per week ) for 1.5 months. The chest X-ray showed a shadow in the median lobe of the right lung, which had gradually developed to a pulmonary tuberculoma. The patient's physical condition improved after the tubereuloma resection. It has been reported in recent years that ① TNF-α antagonists therapy could increase the incidence of tuberculosis, ② the incidence at which infliximab associated tuberculosis was higher than etanercept, ③ the majority of the patient having tuberculosis were old people, and ④ the incidence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and the disseminated tuberculosis were higher than regular tuberculosis. Conclusion TNF-α antagonists may decrease the host defense ability against mycobacterium tuberculosis and increase the incidence of tuberculosis. The pre-treatment tuberculosis screening, as well as tuberculosis monitoring during and after treatment is mandatory.

BACKGROUND:Three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis system combined with electromyograph cannot only objectively analyze movement function of the upper limb, but also exert an important role in exploring the exercise-related factors and the underlying mechanism.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of movement velocity and target location on kinematics and muscle activity in upper limb reaching.
METHODS:Twelve healthy young adults reached for three different location targets (frontal, ipsilateral and contralateral) at self-selected and fast speeds to with the dominant right hand, respectively. Kinematic parameters and muscle activity were recorded by Vicon 3D motion analysis system and Noraxon wireless electromyograph, synchronously.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Reach path ratio became smal er when moving faster (P<0.001), while mean velocity, peak velocity and the time percentage of peak velocity increased (P<0.001). Posterior deltoid, biceps brachi and triceps brachi activation was higher during fast speed movement (P<0.001). Muscle activation of anterior deltoid was lower in ipsitralateral reaching than contralateral (P=0.001) and frontal reaching (P<0.001), and posterior deltoid was higher than contralateral reaching (P=0.019). Biceps brachi (P=0.039) and triceps brachi (P<0.001) activation was also higher in ipsitralateral reaching than frontal reaching. These results suggest that moving fast can contribute to more muscle activation, high velocity, smooth trajectory and increased movement quality. Posterior deltoid, elbow extension and flexion muscle activation are high in ipsitralateral reaching, while high anterior deltoid activation in contralateral reaching;therefore, target location result in muscle synergies.

BACKGROUND:Osteoblasts occupy an important role in osteogenesis, which mainly come from bone marrow mesenchymal cels, and some transcription factors or local factors may promote the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cels.
OBJECTIVE: To study the role of Osx and Satb2 in C2C12cels in the repair process of osteoporosis.
METHODS: Twenty wild-type Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned into normal control group (n=10), sham group (n=5) and osteoporosis group (model group,n=5). Another 10 Osx-KO rats were enroled in the study. Osteoporosis models were established by removal of both ovaries in the model group and Osx-KO group. In the sham group, bilateral ovaries were exposed but not removed. Changes in body mass and femoral bone density were detected in the four groups post operation. C2C12 cels were culturedin vitro, and siRNA-Satb2 and siRNA-Osx were designed. Expressions of Osx and Satb2 and their effects on osteoporosis were observed using cel experiments, gene silencing and western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 12 weeks, the body mass in the model and Osx-KO groups was significantly increased compared with the normal control and sham groups (P< 0.01); the bone density in the model and Osx-KO group was significantly decreased compared with the normal control and sham groups (P < 0.01). Satb2 and Osx were expressed in al the wild-type rats, but their expressions were decreased significantly in the Osx-KO rats (P < 0.001). Additionally, there was no difference in the Runx2 mRNA expression between the two kinds of rats. After silencing, the mRNA expressions of Satb2, Osx, Runx2 and ALP were al inhibited. These findings indicate that in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, Osx and Satb2 may be protective molecules that have a regulatory role in the osteogenic differentiation, bone formation and repair.

BACKGROUND:Pressure sensitive instrumented shoes are fast and easily used tools to measure ground reaction forces. Currently researches about the utilities of these systems in assessment of gait in children with neurological diseases have been started to run.OBJECTIVE: To find the gait characteristics of dynamic plantar pressure in children with spastic cerebral palsy. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study.SETTINGS: Department of Rehabilitation, Songgang People's Hospital; Department of Rehabilitation, Shenzhen Children's Hospital; Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. PARTICIPANTS: ① Patient group: Twenty children with spastic cerebral palsy were selected from Shenzhen Children's Hospital from May 2004 to April 2005, including 9 boys and 11 girls, aged 26-66 months old, and they all could walk for more than 10 m independently. ② Normal control group: 52 healthy children with normal walking ability were enrolled, including 28 boys.and 24 girls, aged 35-76 months old.METHODS: Ultraflex gait analysis system was used to perform continuous plantar pressure tests of both groups of children. Diagram and data of dynamic plantar pressures in gait were recorded and analyzed with a computer. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① 10 sequential gait cycles were chosen from the continuous stable steps to calculate the average data with the software; ② Differences of the characteristic parameters of plantar pressure curve between the two groups.RESULTS: ① The curves of plantar pressure to time of testees in the normal control group were of the wave shapes with two peaks and one valley. Half of the CP children could not perform the two-peak shape pressure curve in the gait analysis. One kind of abnormal plantar pressure curve style was a wave shape with only one peak. Another kind of abnormal plantar pressure curve style was a shape showing asymmetry between sides and variation in different steps even in the same side. Two-peak shapes of dynamic plantar pressure were recorded in 10 CP children. ② Characteristic parameters picked up from the curves of plantar pressure had been compared between the two groups. Significant difference have been found in ts of both sides and tz1,tz2,tz3 on the right side between the two groups. It was shown that the single-limb support time of both sides in the CP children was longer than that in healthy children [left: (0.879± 0.658), (0.472±0.051) s; right: (0.818±0.682), (0.478±0.050) s; P < 0.01]. The tz1 and tz3 on the right side in the CP children were longer and while the tz2 was shorter than those in the healthy children. CONCLUSION: ① Using dynamic plantar pressure gait analysis system, plantar pressure curves can be observed directly, and information about kinetic characters can be drawn straightly. ② Part of patients with spastic CP could not perform the two-peak shape pressure curves in gait analysis. In patient can be recorded of two-peak shape dynamic plantar pressure curves, ts of both sides are shorter than those in healthy children, tz1 and tz3 on the right side is longer and tz2 is shorter than those in healthy children.
