BACKGROUND: In treatment of traditional acute myocardial infarction,patients were required to lie on the bed resting for 1-4 weeks. Recently research showed that early rehabilitation exercise in myocardial infarction patients could ameliorate the reservation of cardio function, increase exercise tolerance, augment myocardial hemoperfusion, decrease myocardial ischemia and reduce the anxious and depressive emotion.OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of early rehabilitation movement on activity of daily living, duration of hospital stay, mean hospitalized cost,incidence rate of arrhythmia and recurrence rate of myocardial infarction in two years.DESIGN: Non-randomized concurrent control analysis.SETTING: Beijing Tiantan Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 80 patients with acute myocardial infarction,who were hospitalized at Department of Circulation, Beijing Tiantan Hospital from August 2002 to October 2003, were enrolled. They were all at most 70 years old with stable pathogenetic condition. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was over 35%. They were not combined with severe hypertension, severe pulmonary disease, nerve and disease of locomotor system.METHODS: The selected cases based on patients' will were assigned into two groups (n=40), ①early rehabilitation group: They were treated with routine drugs, absolute bed rest for 24 hours. At day 2 the head stock was rose about 30°to do passive exercise of extremity joint. At days 3-5, the patients sat on the bed, 3 times per day. At days 6-7,the patients stood at bedside, 3 times per day. At days 8-9, the patients moved joints of extremities at bedside and walked slowly in room. At days 10-14, the patients exercised walking. If there were angina pectoris attacks, serious cardiac arrhythmias or dyspneic respiration, etc., the movement should be suspended or the exercise intensity came back to that in the former stage. ②Absolute bed rest group: The patients were absolute bed rest, and only treated with routine drug without any rehabilitation training.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Barthel index (full mark was 100 points, and ＜ 60 points represented unable self-care) was used to assess activity of daily living of patients. Mean duration of hospital stay, mean hospitalized cost, incidence rate of arrhythmia and recurrence rate of my ocardial infarction in two years were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: A total of 80 patients that conducted the therapy and follow up were involved in the result analysis. ①Mean duration of hospital stay and mean hospitalized cost in the early rehabilitation group were less than those in the absolute bed rest group (17.1 days vs 24.5 days; 9 021.23 yuan vs 12 383.45 yuan; P ＜ 0.05). ②Barthel index: There was insignificant difference before treatment between the two groups. It was significantly higher in the early rehabilitation group than that in the absolute bed rest group before discharge (81.43±13.57,70.68±11.48,P ＜ 0.05). ③Six and seven patients had the onset of arrhythmia in the early rehabilitation group and the absolute bed rest group, respectively. ④Follow-up observation was performed for two years. The recurrence rate of myocardial infarction in the early rehabilitation group (5% ,2/40) was obviously lower than that in the absolute bed rest group (22 %,9/40).CONCLUSION: The early rehabilitation training is of benefit to elevate activity of daily living of myocardial infarction patients, reduce mean duration of hospital stay and mean hospitalized cost and decrease recurrence rate.

Objective To analyze the changes of PAIgG, CD62P, CD4+CD25+ Foxp3+Tr,and IL-18 before and after treatment in peripheral blood of children with acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) and investigate the function of these factors in the pathogenesis of ITP.Methods Forty-one cases of acute ITP children were divided into the effective group(35cases) and the ineffective group (6cases) according to the clinical treatment. To detect PAIgG,CD62P,and the number of Tr cells by using flow cytometry ,IL-18 plasma levels by ELISA assay,and analyze the variations of these indicators before and after treatment in children with acute ITP. Results In the effective treatment group, PAIgG, CD62P before treatment were 53.05%,(14.18±5.04 )%, which were significantly higher than that after treatment [18.62%, ( 8.36±1.95 )%] and control group[5.26%,(2.65±0.59) %,all P<0.01],and PAIgG,CD62P after treatment were also higher than that in control group [all P<0.05].IL-18,CD4 + T lymphocytes, Tr/CD4+T-lymphocyte ratios before treatment [415.47 ±38.92 ) ng/L,( 25.64 ± 5.81 )%,( 2.67 ± 0.14 )%]were significantly lower than that after treatment [(512.85±42. 17)ng/L,(35.08±6.07)% ,(4.76±0.58)%] and control group[(506. 39±32.28) ng/L,(35.32±2.27)% ,(5.37 ±0.69)% ,all P<0.01]. IL-18, CD4 +T lymphocytes, Tr/CD4 +T-lymphocyte ratios after treatmenthad no statistically significant difference compared with control group( all P<0.05 ). In ineffective group, the test results of PAIgG, CD62P, IL-18, CD4 +T lymphocytes, Tr/CD4+ T-lymphocyte ratios showed no significant change before and after treatment( all P<0.05 ).IL-18 had negative correlations with PAIgG,CD62P respectively before and after treatment(all P<0.05 ). Tr cells / CD4 + T had negative correlations with PAIgG,CD62P respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusions The amount of Tr, IL-18 were reduced, while CD62P and PAIgG increased in peripheral blood of children with acute ITP. IL-18, Tr , CD62P and PAIgG play important roles in the pathogenesis of acute ITP.

Stroke is the leading cause of death in China and confers a huge burden and effort on patients and health professionals. China has the world's largest population and has been experiencing a rapid economic development. In this article, we review the current status of stroke epidemiological features and risk factors, and the recently ongoing stroke epidemiological survey in China. Epidemiological studies suggested that stroke incidence increases with age and that the elderly population is expected to increase over time in China. Stroke mortality increased gradually from 1990 to 2000 but declined since the beginning of the 21st century, probably related to better control of vascular risk factors and the advances in acute stroke care. The Chinese lifestyle has changed rapidly during the past 3 decades. Moreover, China is a big country with substantial geographic disparities. The geographical variation and chronological trend of vascular risk factors may determine changes in the prevalence and subtypes of stroke in China. In this review, the current Chinese researches on the critical management of stroke and the potential direction and support of the Chinese government are discussed.

Magnetic nano gene vector is one of the non-viral gene vectors, modified by functional group to bind cationic transfect reagents. Coupling magnetofection with the universal lipofection we developed a novel somatic cell transfection method as the so-called liposomal magnetofection (LMF). This approach is potential to provide somatic cell cloning with stable genetic cell lines to cultivate transgenic animals. In order to construct such liposomal magnetic gene vectors complexes system, we used nano magnetic gene vector to combine with liposomal cationic transfect reagents by molecular self-assembly. This vectors system successfully carried exogenous gene and then transfected animal somatic cells. Here, we conducted atomic force microscopy (AFM), zeta potential-diameter analysis and other characterization experiments to investegate the size distribution and morphology of magnetic nanoparticles, the way of the vectors to load and concentrate DNA molecules. Our data reveal that, the LMF of Pig Kidney cells exhibited higher transfection efficiency comparing with the transfection mediated by the commercial lipofectamine2000. Moreover, LMF method overcomes the constraint of transient expression mediated by lipofection. Meanwhile, MTT assay showed low cytotoxicity of LMF. Hence, LMF is a feasible, low cytotoxic and effective method of cell transfection.

OBJECTIVETo explore the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and its effect on prognosis of patients with primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PGI-DLBCL).

METHODSReal time quantitative PCR was used to determine the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in 40 PGI-DLBCL patients and 17 healthy controls. The association of Bcl-2 expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients was analyzed.

RESULTSThe expression level of Bcl-2 mRNA in PGI-DLBCL patients was 1.03 ± 0.93, significantly higher than that of the controls (0.41 ± 0.21) (P < 0.05). The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in stage IIE-IV patients (1.28 ± 1.01) was significantly higher than that in the stage I-II2 patients (0.62 ± 0.61) (P < 0.05). The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in patients with international prognostic index (IPI) score >2 (1.95 ± 1.27) was significantly higher than those with IPI score ≤ 2 (0.86 ± 0.75)(P < 0.05). The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in patients with complete remission (CR) (0.71 ± 0.58) was significantly lower vs. 2.42 ± 0.91 in patients with no CR (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis indicated that β2-MG, IPI score>2, the Lugano staging, and Bcl-2 mRNA expression were associated with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that IPI score>2 was independently associated with OS (P < 0.05), and both IPI score >2 and Bcl-2 mRNA expression were independently associated with PFS (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in the tumor tissue of PGI-DLBCL patients is significantly higher than that in controls. PGI-DLBCL patients with higher expression of Bcl-2 have a poor chemotherapy response and inferior prognosis. IPI score >2 and higher expression of Bcl-2 mRNA are independent poor prognostic factors for PFS in PGI-DLBCL patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment of the abdominal cocoon.Mehods:The clinical data of 28 patients with abdominal cocoon from Jan 2004 to Dec 2018 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Intestinal obstruction was the main clinical manifestations (25 cases), recurrent chronic ileus(17 cases) and abdominal mass (7 cases). Preoperative imaging examination showed varying degrees of intestinal obstruction. CT or MRI scan displayed that small intestinal loops were disorganized , clustered and encased in a thickened capsule. All the cases underwent operations, showing that small bowel were encapsulated in a dense gray-white fibrous membrane. Adhesiolysis and fibrous membrane excision were done with segmental enterectomy when it was necessary. Early postoperative intestinal obstruction occured in 6 cases, all were cured by conservative treatment.Conclusions:The combination of clinical symptoms and CT or MRI may facilitate in preoperative diagnosis. Abdominal cocoon is putative diagnosis when recurrent intestinal obstruction with abdominal mass. Surgery is the therapy of choice.
