To study the effect of a program of physical therapy,40 subjects with total hip replacement for femoral neck fracture were randomized into rehabilitation and control groups.The program included ROM exercises,low resistance exercises of hip abductors and ADL exercises.Muscle strength of hip abductors were measured by Kendall's Muscle Testing and Function,hip ROM,functional ability and pain were evaluated by Harris Hip score on the lst and 3rd month after surgery.Statistical analysis with t test was used for comparing Harris Hip scores.The result shows that muscle strength and hip function were improved significantly in rehabilitation group (p<0.05).That means the program is effective in long term after hip replacement.

Object To study the effects of artemisinin and its analogue artemisunate on the proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line, as well as their mechanism comparatively. Methods The inhibition of cell proliferation was determined by SRB method. Cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry (FCM) analysis. Apoptosis was confirmed by sub-G 1 cells content and DAPI method. Results The cell cycle of MCF-7 was changed greatly when treated 24 h with either 10 ?mol/L artemisinin or 1 ?mol/L artemisunate, the distribution of MCF-7 cells among S phase was reduced greatly, while inereased during G 0+G 1. However, artemisinin had weaker effect on the proliferation of MCF-7 cell, while artemisunate effectively inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7, the IC 50 was 0.31 ?mol/L. Apoptosis induced by 1 ?mol/L artemisunate was stronger than that by 10 ?mol/L artemisinin, too. Conclusion The inhibitory effect of artemisunate on the proliferation of tumor cell is stronger than that of artemisinin in vitro.

Objective To investigate Iomoxicam,paracetamol,trarnadol in post-operative analgesia of surgical abortion.Methods 200 patients undergoing surgical abortion were randomly allocated into four groups:lornoxicam,paracetamol,tramadol and the control group.Intravenous anesthesia was conducted.Lomoxicam 16 mg,paracetamol 1000mg,tramadol 100 mg were administered before patients awaking.VAS scores and complications were observed post-operation.Pre-operative and post-operative salivary cortisol was detected.Results VAS scores were less in the 3 analgesic groups than in control group at 15,30 minutes post-operation(P＜0.05).VAS scores had no difference in all groups at 60,120 minutes.Cortisol was higher in the control on the next day(P＜0.05).Conclusion Post-operative analgesia was effective for surgical abortion.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a kind of pluripotent stem cells derived from bone marrows, which can not only support hematopoiesis, but also have capabilities of multidifferentiation, high-proliferation and self-renewing. They have become one of hotspots in stem cell studies. Studies on in vitro intervention with BMSCs with TCMs have made remarkable progress in recent years. According to the findings, some traditional Chinese medicines can promote proliferation of BMSCs, some can inhibit the apoptosis of BMSCs, while others can induce BMSCs to differentiate into multiple cell types, such as osteoblast. Furthermore, some studies also involved relevant action mechanisms. The authors summarized the advance in relevant studies by reference to relevant literatures of this field.

The main objective of this research is to investigate the effects of astragaloside IV, calycosin separately glucoside, formononetin on oxidative stress in Chang Liver cells induced by H2O2. In the experiments, Chang Liver cells (a kind of normal human hepatocytes) were used as the research object, bifendate which has a clear hepatoprotective effect was used as the positive control drug, then the oxidative damage model of Chang Liver cells were established by H2O2. Cells were divided into six groups: blank control group, oxidative stress group, astragaloside IV group, calycosin separately glucoside group, formononetin group and positive control group. Then endogenous antioxidant system related indexes were detected by micro plate and colorimetric method; intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe; and the expressions of CYP2E1 were evaluated by liver microsomes, mRNA, and protein, respectively with spectrophotometry, Real-time PCR method, and Western blot technique. Results showed that H2O2 decreased antioxidant activity, and increased ROS level and expression of CYP2E1. The above oxidative stress status had been changed with protections of the three components of Astragalus membranaceus (compared with oxidative stress group, P < 0.05, P < 0.01), which taken as a whole had equivalent effects as the drug of positive control group( bifendate). Taken together, three Astragalus membranaceus ingredients all had significant or extremely significant inhibiting effects on oxidative damaged Chang Liver cells which were induced by H2O2, and the oxidative damage of Chang Liver cells had been relieved.
