Objective To investigate the rehabilitation therapeutic effect of Super-Lizer on the early chronicity strain carpal tunnel syndrome by lassitude. Methods Ninety-eight carpal tunnel syndrome patients were randomly divided into therapeutic group (53 cases) and control group (45 cases). The control group was treated with brake and rest on wrist joint. The therapeutic group was treated with Super-Lizer plus wrist brace in neutral position brake and rest in run-up position on wrist joint. The changes of clinical symptom,feeling,muscle power and electromyography in the hands after 2 weeks were detected.Then the results were analyzed. Results The clinical symptom,feeling,muscle power and electromyography in the hands of two groups were obviously improved after treatment, the therapeutic group significantly better than the control group in motor nerve conduction resume(P ＜ 0.05 ). The cure and efficiency rate of the therapeutic group was 81.13%(43/53),the cure and efficiency rate of the control group was 57.78%(26/45),there was significantly better between two groups (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The rehabilitation therapeutic effect of Super-Lizer on the early chronicity strain carpal tunnel syndrome is remarkable,worthy of clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the role of haeme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in remote limb ischemic preconditioning (RLIP)-induced attenuation of lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits.Methods Twenty-four Japanese White Rabbits,aged 4-5 months,weighing 2.0-2.5 kg,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group),I/R group,RLIP group and zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP,an inhibitor of HO-1) plus RLIP group (ZnPP + RLIP group).Lung I/R was produced by 60 min occlusion of the left lung hilum followed by 180 min of reperfusion in I/R,RLIP and ZnPP + RLIP groups.RLIP and ZnPP + RLIP groups received 3 cycles of 10 min ischemia followed by 10 min reperfusion in the bilateral hind limbs immediately before occlusion of the left lung hilum.In ZnPP + RLIP group,ZnPP 10 μmol/kg was injected intravenously 10 min prior to hind limb ischemia and the rest of the procedures were similar to those previously described in RLIP group.At the end of reperfusion,arterial blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis.The animals were then sacrificed and pulmonary specimens were obtained for microscopic examination of the pathological changes which were scored (lung injury score,LIS) and for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio),myleoperoxidase (MPO) activity,malondialdehyde (MDA) content and expression and activity of HO-1 in the lung tissues.Results Compared with group S,PaO2 was significantly decreased,and LIS,W/D ratio,MPO activity,MDA content,and HO-1 expression and activity were increased in I/R group (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with I/R group,PaO2 and HO-1 expression and activity were significantly increased,and LIS,W/D ratio,MPO activity and MDA content were decreased in RLIP group (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with RLIP group,PaO2 and HO-1 expression and activity were significantly decreased,and LIS,W/D ratio,MPO activity and MDA content were increased in ZnPP + RLIP group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion RLIP up-regulates HO-1 expression and enhances HO-1 activity,thus reducing lung I/R injury in rabbits.

Objective To evaluate the relationship of metabolic syndrome (MS) and MS components with thyroid nodule. Methods A total of 10 357 subjects ( age ＞ 18 years old) who received physical checkup at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between June 2009 and June 2010 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Anthropometric parameter, fasting plasma glucose (FPG),serum lipid profile, blood uric acid, alanine aminotransferase and thyroid ultrasonography were measured. Results The prevalence of thyroid nodule,MS,and thyroid nodule + MS was 46. 96% ,23. 6%,and 11.6%, respectively. The prevalence of thyroid nodule was significantly higher in MS patients than in non MS patients ( 75.9% vs 38. 0%, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Multifactor logistic analysis showed that MS, body mass index (BMI) and FBG (β vales were 0. 78,1.22,and 0. 62,respectively; odds ratios were 4. 167,3. 876,and 2. 359, respectively; all P ＜ 0. 05 ) were independently correlated with the development of thyroid nodule. Conclusions Significantly increased prevalence of thyroid nodule could be found in MS patients. BMI and FBG may be independent risk factors of thyroid nodule.

Objective To assess the changes of humidity and ammonia concentration in rat and mouse individually ventilated cages (IVC) based on macroenvironmental humidity and air ventilation changes .Methods Three kinds of rat and mouse IVC in barrier facilities were set as research objective .The changes of micronvironmental humidity and ammonia concentration at 40 times/h and 60 times /h air changes were detected continuously for a 7-days-cycle relative to low (40%), moderate (50%), and high (60%) macroenvironmental humidity.Results Mouse and rat IVC with 40 times /h air changes under low macroenvironmental humidity condition , mouse IVC with 40 times/h and rat IVC with 60 times/h air changes under moderate macroenvironmental humidity condition , mouse IVC with 60 times /h air changes under high macroenvironmental humidity condition , basically meet the GB14925-2010 requirements.While under macroenvironmental high humidity condition, the microenvironments of rat and mouse IVC with 60 times/h air changes could not satisfy the requirements.Conclusions The environmental humidity and ventilation frequency are the key index of IVC microenvironment.Only on the basis of external environment conditions to set up reasonable IVC ventilation frequency in order to better maintain the IVC microenvironment so that to achieve the goal of effective management .

Viral infections remain the common cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Virus antigens can be recognized by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) in the context of HLA class Ⅰ molecules.T-cell-based immunotherapies are now being included in the clinical practice of transplant recipients to prevent and treat viral infections and complications associated with CMV,AdV and EBV.Here,the current status and future feasibility of CTL immunotherapy for virus infections after allo-HSCT are discussed.

Objective:To investigate the improved superantigen activity of SEC2(T20L/G22E) compared with recombinant staphylococcal enterotoxins C 2 ( rSEC2 ).Methods: The proliferation of spleen lymphocytes and T-cell subpopulations induced by rSEC2 and SEC2(T20L/G22E) were examined by WST-1 and flow cytometry separately,and the gene expression of cytokines and Vβspecificities were quantified by real-time PCR.Results: WST-1 and Flow cytometry assays showed that the superantigen activity of SEC2(T20L/G22E) was improved due to enhanced T-cell stimulating potency,resulting in massive activation of T-cells,particularly CD4+and CD8+T-cells.Quantitative real-time PCR assay showed that despite similar Vβspecificities induced by rSEC 2 and SEC2 (T20L/G22E),the quantities of activated T-cells bearing specific Vβwere different,and SEC2(T20L/G22E) could stimulate more gene expression of associated cytokines simultaneously.Conclusion: The results strongly suggested that the increased SEC 2 ( T20L/G22 E)-TCR-binding affinity contributed to more T-cells activation and cytokine release ,which elicit powerful immune activition.
