Objective The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of intensified cyclic training on bone moulding reconstruction, and to found the scientific basis of intensific cyclic training as a new training methods. Methods 48 male rats were equally divided into two groups: intensive repetitive training group and control group. The upper segment of tibia was harvested from the animals at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th week after the onset of the experiment for the measurement of cortical thickness (CT), mean wall thickness (MWT) and the percentage of osseous surface of trabeculae and surface area of trabecular Absorption (Sr). The data of intensive repetitive trained group were compared with those of the control group. 1 303 recruits were divided into control group and experimental group. In the experimental group, they were trained by intensive repetitive training program instead of the traditional training program. The incidence of stress fracture was compared between two groups. Results CT (1.37?0.09, 1.86?0.14, 1.94?0.23), MWT (56.37?2.52, 57.28?3.01, 58.23?2.93) and Sos (12.29?1.17, 14.61?1.84, 15.51?1.13) were higher in the training group than control groups at the fourth week, the fifth week and the sixth week, respectively (P

BACKGROUND: Monoamine hypothesis has been demonstrated by researches. However, the correlation between the metabolite of plasma monoamine neurotransmitter and anti-depression treatment in patients with depression has less been reported.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of different drugs on metabolite of plaama monoamine neurotransmitter, and the correlation between the metabolite of plasma monoamine neurotransmitter and anti-depression treatment in patients with depression.DESIGN: Case controlled study.SETTING: Neurological Department and Brain Institute of Nanjing Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Forty patients with depression hospitalized in Nanjing Brain Hospital (depression group) were diagnosed with the second revised edition of China classification of mental diseases(CCMD-2) and the tenth edition of International classification of diseases. And the total score of Hanmilton rating scale for depression(HAMD) was more than 17. Healthy voluntary blood donators in the control group were from Nanjing Municipal Central Blood Station( n = 20).INTERVENTIONS: Antidepressant was used in the depression for 4 weeks: fluoxetine 20 mg per day; 5-serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) paroxetine 20 mg per day; venlafaxime 50- 100 mg per day;5-serotonin and morepinephrine selective reuptake inhibitor(SNRI) fluvoxamine 50-100 mg per day. High performance liquid chromatograpy(HPLC)was used to measure the level of metabolite of plasma monoamine neurotransmitter in patients with depression before and 42 week after treatment, and the HAMD was used to evaluate clinical effect of the patients.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The levels of metabolites of plasma monoamine neurotransmitters in patients with depression: 5-hydroxyindoleace tic acid(5-HIAA), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol(MHPG) and homovani llic acid(HVA) were measured before and 4th week after treatment.RESULTS: The levels of 5-HIAA, MHPG and HVA of the metabolites of plasma monoamine neurotransmitters in patients with depression before treatment [ (20.3±14.6), (124.8±103.6), (54.7±32.1) μg/L] were all lower than those in the normal control group[ (39.5±28.4), (334.5 ±107.3), (88.5±37.2) μg/L], with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). After SSRI treatment, the 5-HIAA content[ (37.1±21.9)μg/L]was significantly increased as compared with that before treatment, whose difference indicated significant meaning ( P<0.05), but the differences in MHPG and HVA had no significant meaning as compared with those before treatment(P>0.05) . After SNRI treatment, 5-HIAA and MHPG contents [(35.4±25.2 ), (291.2±120.4) μg/L] both were significantly increased, which indicated significant difference as compared with those before treatment( P<0.05); but HVA level had no significant changes.CONCLUSION:'The peripheral neurotransmitter metabolites in plasma can reflect their states in brain. The change of neurotransmitter metabolite in plasma can be regarded as an important reference index for the evaluation of depression.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and results of the application of both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap in total ear reconstruction with Medpor framework.Methods The main procedures consisted of three stages:stage Ⅰ-skin expansion,stage Ⅱ auricle formation that consisted of orientation of Medpor implant and creation of coverage for the implant by both expaned skin flap and temporoparietal fascia flap,and stage Ⅲ-treatment of residual ear and recontruction of auricular lobule. Results Twenty-two ears in 22 unilateral microtia patients were constructed using Medpor implants covered with both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap over the last three years,and they were accepted as pleasing by the patients.Conclusions Application of both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap can assure no extrusion of Medpor implant in ear reconstruction.Further more,the two layers of transferred tissues will not affect the profile details of the reconstructed ear.And because the skin covering the framework and fascia is derived from frommastoid region,the appearance and profile of the reconstructed auricle is true to nature and close to that of the opposite one.
