BACKGROUND:The power output of the human joints depends on the activation of agonists and antagonist muscles around the joints, and the antagonist muscle is involved in physical activity in a co-activated manner, thereby helping to maintain joint stability. But there are less reports on the central nervous system strategies of antagonist co-activation under different muscle contraction modes. OBJECTIVE:To observe the characteristics and differences of surface electromyography (sEMG) of agonists and antagonist muscles of the knee joints during maximal and submaximal isokinetic exercises until fatigue. METHODS:Sixteen students were enroled, who developed the right knee joint fatigue induced by the Biodex isokinetic equipment, and simultaneously sEMG activities of vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and biceps femoris were recorded by the myoelectrical equipment. The RMS (%) and mean frequency were selected to analyze sEMG characteristics. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the maximal isokinetic fatigue, the peak torque was decreased by 40.3% (P < 0.05) and the sEMG activity of agonists gradualy increased and then declined, but the sEMG activity of antagonists kept constant. In the submaximal isokinetic fatigue, the peak torque was decreased by 40.0% (P < 0.05), the sEMG activity of agonists gradualy increased (P < 0.05), and however the sEMG activity of the antagonists initialy increased and then decreased. The RMS and mean frequency of vastus medialis and lateralis as antagonists at selected reciprocal contractions showed no significant changes (P > 0.05). These results suggest that in the different intensities of isokinetic fatigue, the central nervous system employs different neural strategies on agonists and antagonists.

Objective To explore the correlation between Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection and colorectal cancer.Methods From January 2008 to January 2014,263 patients pathologically diagnosed as colorectal cancer were selected as colorectal cancer group,and at the same period 263 patients with normal colon mucosa under colonoscopy were set as control group.The rates of H.pylori infection,the rates of H.pylori infection in patients with different pathological types of colorectal cancer,the rates of H.pylori infection accompanied with atrophic gastritis and the rates of H.pylori infection accompanied with intestinal metaplasia of two groups were retrospectively analyzed.The difference of H.pylori infection between proximal colorectal cancer and distal colorectal cancer was compared.Chi-square test was performed for comparison and odds ratio (OR) value and 95％ confidence interval (CI) were calculated.Results Among 263 patients with colorectal cancer,the H.pylori infection rate of colorectal cancer group was 63.50％ (167/263),which was higher than that of control group (39.54％,104/263),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =27.66,OR=2.66,95％ CI 1.85 to 3.83,P＜0.01).There was no statistical difference in rates of H.pylori infection among different pathological types of colorectal cancer (x2=0.15,P=0.93).The rate of H.pylori infection accompanied with atrophic gastritis in patients with colorectal cancer was 46.39％ (122/263) which was higher than that of control group (23.57％,62/263),and the difference was statistically significant (x2=28.53,OR=2.94,95％CI 1.98 to 4.36,P＜0.01).The rates of H.pylori infection accompanied with intestinal metaplasia in patients with colorectal cancer was 17.87％ (47/263) which was higher than that of control group (4.18％,11/263),and the difference was statistically significant (x2=23.56,OR=5.50,95％CI 2.76 to 10.95,P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the rate of H.pylori infection between the proximal colorectal cancer and the distal colorectal cancer (x2 =1.48,P =0.22).Conclusion H.pylori infection,together with atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia caused by it are correlated with colorectal cancer.

Recent advancements on interventional molecular imaging aimed to further complement the advantages of two imaging fields, namely, interventional radiology and molecular imaging. Interventional molecular imaging significantly improved the early diag-nosis of cancer, local treatment, and monitoring of tumor treatments. Interventional radiology has continuously extended the capabili-ties of the currently available molecular imaging techniques to (i) obtain deep-seated targets;(ii) thoroughly examine small targets;(iii) precisely guide the delivery of non-targeted imaging tracers or therapeutics;and (iv) selectively enhance the effectiveness of targeted imaging and treatment with high accuracy. Molecular imaging has been used to guide interventional therapies and assess the thera-peutic efficacies of medical interventions. The continuous efforts on interventional molecular imaging extend molecular imaging from benches or small animal laboratories to large animal suites and ultimately to certain clinical applications in humans and enhance the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

AIM: To clarify whether advanced glycation end products (AGEs) can influence the expression of mitochondrial fusion proteins Mfn1 and Mfn2 in cultured human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) in vitro.METHODS:AGE-BSA was used as AGEs.Purchased primary human aortic endothelial cell line was multiplied, and transferred to dif-ferent passages for subsequent grouping.For dose-dependent experiment, HAECs were divided into 4 groups, and the con-centrations of AGE-BSA in each group were 0 mg/L (control group), 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L and 200 mg/L, respectively. For time-dependent experiment, HAECs were divided into 5 groups with the same concentration (100 mg/L) of AGE-BSA, but the intervention time was 0 h (control group), 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h, respectively.The mRNA and protein expres-sion levels of Mfn1 and Mfn2 in the HAECs were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively.RESULTS:Exposure of the HAECs to AGEs at different concentrations for 24 h all down-regulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of Mfn1 and Mfn2.Except for 6 h intervention group, 100 mg/L AGEs intervention for 12 h, 24 h and 48 h all down-regulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of Mfn1 and Mfn2 in cultured HAECs.CONCLUSION: AGEs down-regulates the expression of mitochondrial fusion proteins Mfn1 and Mfn2 in cultured HAECs, indicating that AGEs may influence mitochondrial dynamics of human aortic endothelial cells.

171.1?mol/L) was 25.0%, 37.7% and 46.3%, the percentage of the fulminating hepatitis was 3.0%, 5.9% and 14.0%, and the mean hospital stay days for the convalescent patients were 31.59?18.97, 31.13?13.70 and 37.51?18.33 days, respectively. All these variables were significantly higher in aged group compared with youth and middle-aged groups. The levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) lowered significantly with the advance of age, and they were 1 711.7?1 063.4, 1 423.0?913.2 and 1 162.7?792.5U/L, respectively. The same was true in serum albumin and choline esterase (ChE). On the other hand, the percentage of acute hepatitis without jaundice decreased to 17.9%, 6.4%and 2.5% from the youth to the aged. However, TBIL on admission (131.41?106.97 vs 169.60?136.11 vs 164.36?106.22?mol/L) and the elevation of the peak of TBIL (135.01?109.15 vs 186.08?150.64 vs 209.63?143.74?mol/L) of the middle-aged and the aged were significantly higher than those of the youth. There was no significant difference in the symptoms, the ratio of direct to total bilirubin, mortality to complications among them. Furthermore, the serum IgM and IgG antibodies against HEV were negative in about 8.1% of the patients with HEV. Conclusion With a higher incidence and more severe hepatic damage, the middle-aged and the aged patients need a longer duration for recovery than the young patients.
