Objective:To explore the effect of mirror visual feedback combined with exercise relearning in rehabilitation of upper extremity dysfunction after stroke.Methods:Patients with upper extremity dysfunction received stroke rehabilitation treatment in the Nanyang No. 9 People's Hospital from August 2016 to August 2018 were enrolled prospectively. According to the random number table method, they were divided into either mirror visual feedback combined with exercise relearning group (mirror therapy group) or exercise relearning alone group (control group). The rehabilitation treatment was 1-2 times a day, 5 d a week, and 1 week was a course of treatment, for a total of 4 courses. Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) was used to assess upper extremity function. Carroll Upper Extremity Function Test (UEFT) was used to assess hand function. Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) was used to assess upper extremity operability and flexibility. Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) was used to assess the motor function of hands, fingers and upper extremities. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess upper extremities pain. The modified Barthel Index (MBI) was used to assess self-care ability in daily life. The modified Ashworth Spasm Scale was used to assess the degree of spasm of shoulder joints, wrist joints, and elbow joints. According to the FMA score, the clinical efficacy of both groups of patients was evaluated, and a score of >31 was defined as excellent.Results:A total of 60 stroke patients with upper extremity dysfunction were enrolled ( n=30 in the mirror therapy group and n=30 in the control group). There were no statistical differences between the two groups in age, gender, course of disease, stroke type, and stroke location, as well as each baseline score. After treatment, the FMA score, UEFT score, ARAT score, MAS score, MBI score and the proportion of the modified Ashworth grade Ⅰ and grade Ⅰ + were significantly higher than those before treatment in both groups (all P<0.05), while VAS score and the proportion of modified Ashworth grade Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ was significantly lower than those before treatment (all P<0.05). After treatment, FMA score, UEFT score, ARAT score, MAS score, MBI score, as well as the proportion of Ashworth grade Ⅰ and grade Ⅰ + in the mirror therapy group was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05), while VAS score and the proportion of modified Ashworth grade Ⅲ were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). According to the FMA score, the excellent and good rate of treatment in the mirror therapy group was significantly higher than that in the control group (93.3% vs. 70.0%; χ2=5.455, P=0.020). Conclusions:The curative effect of mirror visual feedback combined with exercise relearning is superior to exercise relearning alone in rehabilitation therapy for upper extremity dysfunction after stroke.

Objective To evaluate the targeted surveillance of health care-associated infections in ICU. Methods PubMed, EMBASE ( Excerpt Medica Database ) , China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Vip Journal Integration Platform and Wanfang Data were searched from 2009 to 2013 by two researchers. Full-text studies on targeted surveillance of healthcare-associated infections in ICUs were included. Studies were evacuated using STROBE and GRADE. Random effects meta-analyses were used to generate summary estimates of infection rates. Results Totals of 21 studies met eligibility criteria, which were all Chinese research papers. Taking the infection rate as an example, 74 600 cases were observed within which 7 318 cases were infected. Pooled meta-analyses of eligible studies revealed that adjusted infection rate:infection rate, case infection rate, daily infection rate, case daily infection rate were 3. 27%, 4. 92%, 4. 58‰, 6. 49‰, respectively. The infection rates were 23. 12‰ in ventilator associated pneumonia, 5. 26‰ in catheter-related bloodstream infections, and 2. 38‰ in catheter-associated urinary tract infections. The lower respiratory tract, the blood, and the urinary tract were the main infection sites, accounting for 58. 07%, 18. 16%, and 15. 35%, respectively. A. baumanii, P. Aeruginosa, fungi, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, E. coli were the main pathogens, accounting for 20. 54%, 14. 28%, 14. 35%, 11. 62%, 10. 92% and 6. 86%, respectively. Conclusions The burden of health-care-associated infection in ICU is high. Our findings indicate a need to improve surveillance and infection-control practices.

Objective:To investigate the role of CD8 + T cells in lethal Plasmodium yoelii 17XL ( Py 17XL) infection. Methods:BALB/c mice and C57BL/6 mice were infected with Py 17XL-infected red blood cells (1×10 6 cells/0.1 ml) through intraperitoneal injection to establish the mouse models of Py 17XL infection. Parasitemia (the percentage of erythrocytes infected with Py 17XL) and the survival rates of the mice was observed dynamically. Flow cytometry was used to detect the number of effector T cells (T EFF) and central memory T cells (T CM) of CD8 + T cell subpopulations, the expression of IFN-γ and granzyme B (GB) levels, and the expression of surface chemokine receptors CXCR3, CXCR6 and CX3CR1. FTY720 blocking experiment was conducted on Py 17XL-infected C57BL/6 mice to analyze the impact of CD8 + T cell migration on Py 17XL infection. Results:The parasitemia of BALB/c mice increased rapidly 5 d after infection and reached the peak on 8 d [(79.57±3.82)%]. Besides, the parasitemia was higher in BALB/c mice than in C57BL/6 mice 5-8 d after infection ( P<0.000 1). All BALB/c mice died on 9 d. The parasitemia of C57BL/6 mice reached the peak on 14 d [(48.19±3.19)%] and then decreased to 0 on 26 d. There was statistically significant difference in the survival rate between the two groups ( P<0.000 1). Flow cytometry results showed that compared with the BALB/c mice, the absolute number of CD8 + T cells in spleen and liver tissues and the number of CD8 + T EFF and CD8 + T CM cells in spleen and lymph nodes of C57BL/6 mice increased significantly ( P<0.05). Compared with the BALB/c mice, the levels of GB, IFN-γ and chemokines expressed by CD8 + T cells in spleen and liver tissues of C57BL/6 mice increased significantly ( P<0.05). The FTY720 blocking experiment showed that the survival rate, the absolute number of CD8 + T cells in liver and spleen, and the number of CD8 + CXCR3 + T cells decreased significantly in the experimental group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CD8 + T EFF and CD8 + T CM cells contribute to resistance against Py 17XL infection by secreting GB and IFN-γ. The chemokine receptor CXCR3 plays an important role in mediating the chemotaxis of CD8 + T cells to spleen and liver.
