Objective: To explore the role of human hematopoietic growth factors (HGFs) in proliferation and differentiation of cord blood CD34+ cells. Methods: Human cord blood mononuclear cells (MNC) were cultured with different combinations of HGFs (including rhIL-1,rhIL-3, rhIL-6, rhG-CSF, rhGM-CSF and rhSCF). The expansion folds of MNC, the changes of cellular surface markers by FACS, and CFU-GM of hematopoietic cells were observed. Results: The total nucleated cells expanded by 44 folds after cultured with 6 cytokines for 20 days. The number of CFU-GM increased by 14 .74 folds after cultured in liquid for 8 days, but decreased heavily after 18 days. The total number of CD34+ cells increased by 127. 79 ~ 196 .40 folds at 6 to 8 day, but decreased to 101.51 folds at 18 day. Conclusion: Human hematopoietic growth factors can increase the expansion of cord blood CD34+ cells and CFU-GM significantly.

Objective:To observe the effect of CD34 immunoaffinity column on the isolation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells of cord blood and the proliferatory and expansion characteristics of CD34 + cells in vitro.Methods:CD34 +cells were isolated from cord blood using CD34 immunoaffinity column.Cell surface antigens were analysed by FACS.The separated and un separated cells were cultured with human hematopoietic growth factors(HGFS)in liquid culture system and CFU GEMM culture system.Results:CD34 + cells were enriched with a purity of 49.62%?17.69% and a recovery of 54.38%?11.91% using the immunoaffinity column.The separated CD34 +cells and cord blood MNC expanded to 561.00 folds and 44.44 folds respectively after cultured with HGFS for 20 days.The percentages of CD34 + cells in separated group and control were 53.38% and 7.91% respectively after cultured for 12 days.The number of CFU GEMM in separated group was significantly higher than that in control(P
3.Health and functioning benefits of aerobic exercise rehabilitation for substance abuse-induced mental and behavioral disorders: a systematic review
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2023;29(4):443-451
ObjectiveTo examine the interventions and health benefits of aerobic exercise for substance abusers using International Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Revision (ICD-11) and International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. MethodsThe PICO framework was developed and randomized controlled trials were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and CNKI dated from the inception of the databases to April, 2023. Then a systematic review was conducted. ResultsSeven randomized controlled trials involving 498 participants from three countries were included. The studies were mainly published in international journals such as International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, Psychiatry Research, Mental Health and Physical Activity, BMC Sports Science, and Medicine and Rehabilitation, and covered the period from 2010 to 2022. The substance abusers in the included studies were classified into seven categories of mental and behavioral disorders, including methamphetamine dependence, cocaine dependence, cannabis dependence, opioid dependence, sedative dependence, heroin dependence, and ketamine dependence. Aerobic exercise activities included running, cycling, Tai Chi, Qigong, yoga, jumping rope, climbing, etc., with a frequency of 20 to 60 minutes per session, one to ten times per week. The activity intensity was mainly concentrated in moderate to high intensity, and the duration ranged from 12 to 48 weeks. The health outcomes were evaluated in six aspects: physical motor function, cognitive function, emotional functioning, medication cravings, physical fitness, and overall function and quality of life. ConclusionBased on ICD-11 and ICF, a theoretical framework was constructed to evaluate the health effects of aerobic exercise for substance abusers. Aerobic exercise could improve flexibility and balance, grip strength, vertical jump height, and sit and reach distance, as well as enhance physical fitness, strength, flexibility, speed and agility in substance abusers' physical function. In terms of cognitive function, aerobic exercise could help to improve working memory, attention and executive function, as well as cognitive and neurological functions. Aerobic exercise rehabilitation could also improve psychological health, such as anxiety, depression and fatigue, and increase the ability to resist substance dependence in substance abusers. In addition, aerobic exercise rehabilitation could improve physical fitness, such as body mass, blood pressure and blood lipid levels, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other diseases. It could also improve overall social function, increase social adaptability and quality of life, and reduce the risk of substance abuse relapse in substance abusers.

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of posture and sports experience on distance perception in Paralympic athletes with lower limbs disabilities. MethodsFrom May to August, 2019, athletes were selected from the wheelchair racing team (n = 19) and the wheelchair fencing team (n = 16) in Shanghai, China. The athletes were tested the relative distance perception and absolute distance perception using the successive equal-appearing distance and blind walking tasks. ResultsThe interaction effects between sport and posture (F = 4.118, P < 0.05), sports events and distance judgment (F = 8.913, P < 0.01), and posture and distance judgment (F = 11.894, P < 0.01) were significant; while the main effects of sport (F = 7.467, P < 0.01) and posture (F = 11.918, P < 0.01) were significant; the relative distance judgment accuracy was better in the athletes of wheelchair fencing than in those of wheelchair racing, and in standing posture than those in sitting posture. ConclusionThe relative distance judgment accuracy is better for the Paralympic athletes standing and playing wheelchair fencers. There was no significant difference in the accuracy of absolute distance judgment between the different postures and the different sports.
