Spasticity is a common complication of stroke.It may cause the function and ability of patients to be restricted significantly and affect the quality of life of both patients and their caregivers.The estimated prevalence of poststroke spasticity (PSS) is 19％ to 42.6％.PSS can be usually assessed by the Modified Ashworth Scale,Modified Tardieu Scale,and electromyography.Therapeutic methods of PSS include physical therapy and drug treatment.The treatment options should be individualized.

Microenviroment hypoxia is one of the common phenomenon in cancer,studies have indiacat-ed that hypoxia induces genetic instability via activating many DNA danlage-repair signal pathways,which asso-ciates with tumor invasion and resistance and chemi-radiotherapy resistivity.Here,we overview three main DNA damage-repair pathways:mismatch repair,homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining,and how hypoxia influences their mechanisms.

Objective To identify subtypes of human immunodeficiency virus 1(HIV-1)strains from the AIDS patients in Shenzhen and determine whether the HIV-1 subtypes differ in disease progression.Methods HIV-1 env gene was amplified by the nest-RT-PCR from plasma obtained from 26 patients with AIDS in Shenzhen. The C2-V3 regions were sequenced to identify subtypes The plasma viral loads and CD4T lymphocyte were measured as the same time.Results Phylogenetic trees showed that the 12 AIDS patients had subtype B in which, one was close with the U.S reference strain and 11 with the Chinese Yunnan reference strain;13 AIDS patients had subtype CRF01-AE from Thailand;There were no differences in the CD4 cell count and plasma HIV-RNA levels between individuals infected with subtypes B and CRF01-AE.Conclusion Our study indicated that HIV-1 subtype B and CRF01-AE strains were present in AIDS patients in Shenzhen. There was no evidence that the subtypes of virus could determine disease progression.

Objective To observe the shenqifuzheng injection (SFI) combined with PG therapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Method 76 patients with NSCLC were selected from August 2011 to August 2013 and randomly divided into observation group and control group. Each group had 38 cases. The control group received gemcitabine and cisplatin, observation group were gave SFI on the basis of control group. The total efficiency, disease control rate, quality of life and incidence of adverse reactions were observed after treatment in each group. Results The total effective rate was 47.37%in observation group , 42.11%in control group, there was no significant difference between two groups. The disease control rate in observation group was 81.58%higher than 57.89%in control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=3.990, P<0.05). The improvement rate in quality of life was 60.53%in observation group better than 31.58%in the control group , the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.296, P<0.05).The decrease incidence of white blood cell (χ2=4.491, P<0.05) and platelets (χ2=4.491, P<0.05) in observation group were significantly lower compared with the control group, while, there were no difference of liver damage and gastrointestinal reactions between two groups. Conclusion SFI is helpful to improve the efficacy of PG therapy in patients with NSCLC and relieve the side effects of chemotherapy.

Objective To analyze clinical and laboratory features, viral load and viral shedding period of patients with mild or severe H1N1 influenza A infection. Methods Seventy mild cases and 16 severe cases with concurrent pneumonia were included from Shcnzhen area for analysis.Nasopharyngeal-swab specimens of patients were collected and viral load was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay during their hospitalization. The viral load and viral shedding period were compared between patients over 14 years old and less than 14 years old, and between 70 mild cases without pneumonia and 16 severe cases with pneumonia. The statistic analysis was performed using t test and chi square test. Results The most common symptoms and signs of the patients were fever, cough and enlargement of tonsils. However, the severe cases suffered more frequently from cough, dyspnea and high fever compared with the mild cases (x2 = 10. 9 and 14.3, respectively, t=3.65; both P＜0.01 ). The levels of white blood cell (WBC) count and alanine arninotransferase (ALT) of severe patients were both significantly higher than those of mild patients(t= 3.2, 2.4,respectively; both P＜0.05). The chest radiology of the severe cases showed interstitial pneumonia,mostly with ground glass image. The viral load of patients under 14 years was significantly higher than those over 14 years [(4.86± 1.23) lg vs (4. 17±0.89) lg; t=2.3, P＜0.05], and the viral shedding period of patients under 14 years was significantly longer than those over 14 years [(5.33±0. 49) d vs(3. 63±0.28) d; t=3.4, P＜0.01]. The severe patients also displayed significantly higher viral load and prolonged viral shedding period than the mild patients [(6. 36±1. 44) lg vs (4. 35±0.99) lg, t=6.1,P＜0.01; (5.75±1.77) d vs (4. 24±1. 96) d, t=3.2, P＜0.01]. Conclusion Age anddisease severity of patients with H1N1 influenza A infection are significantly associated with viral load and viral shedding period.

Objective： ：To investigate the expression of miR-137 in cervical cancer tissues and cells, and to explore its effect on proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells as well as the mechanisms. Methods： ：Thirty-two pairs of cervical cancer tissues and corresponding para-cancerous tissues that surgically resected at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of Dongguan People's Hospital from January 2017 to March 2018 were collected for this study. In addition, cervical cancer cell lines C33A, HeLa, SiHa and cervical epithelial immortalized cell line H8 were also collected. The expression of miR-137 in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines was detected by RT-PCR. miR-137 mimics and miR-137 NC were respectively transfected into C33Aand HeLa cells, and the effects of miR-137 over-expression on proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cell lines were observed by CCK-8 and Transwell assay. Luciferase reporter gene assay and WB were used to determine the relationship between miR-137 and Wnt5a in cervical cancer. Wnt5a over-expression vector was constructed, and the effects of simultaneous over-expression of Wnt5a and miR-137 on proliferation, migration and invasion of C33Aand HeLa cells were observed. Results： ：The expression level of miR-137 was significantly down-regulated in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines, as compared to para-cancerous tissues and H8 cells (all P<0.05). The over-expression of miR-137 significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion of C33A and HeLa cells (all P<0.05). Moreover, Wnt5a was identified as a target of miR-137 by luciferase reporter gene assay. Furthermore, Wnt5a over-expression, to a certain degree, attenuated the suppressive effects of miR-137 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of C33A and HeLa cells. Conclusion： ：miR-137 can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells via targeting Wnt5a, which may be an effective target for the treatment of cervical cancer.
