The purpose of this paper is to provide parameters of physiological functions in elite athletes of track andfield, swimming, volleyball and gymnasts with reference to criteria for recruitment. Tests were made on 811males and 761 females for 14 physiological indices, including pulse rate, blood pressure and step test. Significant correlations were found between the performance level of track and field and swimming on theone hand and the athletes' vital capacity and Vo_2max on the other. Players of the national women volleyballteam were found to be more responsive in nervous reflexes and possess a lower percentage of body fat and agreater lean body weight than their counterparts on other teams. The gymnasts were found to be inferior incardiopulmonary function, which might be one of their pnysiological characteristics. In most items the subjects'parameters were mean?one SD. It is believed that for better performances an athelet must improve his cardio-pulmonary function.

Objective To investigate the effects of autoantibodies (β1-AA) against second extra-cellular loop of the β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR-ECⅡ) in sera of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) on proliferation of rat CD4+T lymphocytes.Methods β1-AA in the sera of patients with DCM was purified by affinity chromatography .CD4+T lymphocytes were isolated by immunomagnetic microbeads from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of rats and its positive rate was detected by flow cytometry .CCK-8 meth-od was used to detect the proliferation of CD 4+T lymphocytes and flow cytometry was performed to measure the ratio of CD4+/CD8+T lymphocyte .Results The purity of isolated rat CD 4+T lymphocytes by immu-nomagnetic microbeads reached 97.7%.The proliferation of CD4+T lymphocytes stimulated by CD3/CD28 was inhibited by β1-AA in a concentration-dependent manner .However , IgG antibodies extracted from sera of healthy controls did not suppress lymphocyte proliferation (P>0.05).The suppression effect of β1-AA was inhibited after binding to antigenic peptides corresponding to β1-AR-ECⅡ and was completely blocked by metoprolol, a specific antagonist of β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR).In addition,β1-AA had no effects on the ratio of CD4+/CD8+T lymphocyte .Conclusion β1-AA isolated from DCM patients suppresses the pro-liferation of CD4+T lymphocytes through β1-AR pathway , which indicates that β1-AA can directly reduce the number of T lymphocytes and impair the function of T lymphocytes , resulting in immune system disorders and the development of DCM .

Objective: To investigate the improving effects of different moxibustion therapies on colonic injury in rats with ulcerative colitis (UC), and on the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA.Methods: Rats model of UC was made with immune methods and local stimulation. The models were treated with different moxibustion therapies 14 times, and then the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA were tested in the colonic tissue with fluorescent quantitative PCR. Results: (1)General scores of colon and histologic scores of injury were improved in all treatment groups except the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01); (2) The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in the model rats of UC was higher than that in the normal rats (P<0.01), whereas Bax lower (P<0.01); (3) After treatments, the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA was lower in the herb cake-partitioned moxibustion, ginger-partitioned moxibustion, and garlic-partitioned moxibustion groups than that in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01), and Bax mRNA in the herb cake-partitioned and ginger-partitioned groups was higher (P<0.05). Conclusion: Herb cake-partitioned moxibustion, ginger-partitioned moxibustion, garlic-partitioned moxibustion, and mild moxibustion could improve the pathological injury in UC rats. Herb cake-partitioned moxibustion, ginger-partitioned moxibustion, and garlic-partitioned moxibustion could inhibit the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and Bax mRNA in the colonic tissue of UC rats to regulate the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax mRNA.
