Objective To investigate the effect of Botulinum toxin type A(BTXA)and rehabilitation intervention on upper limb Brunnstrom stages and ADL performance of stroke patients. Methods In a randomized controlled trial, 30 patients were allocated to either an experimental group (n=15) that received BTXA injection into muscles of the affected arm or to a controlled group (n=15). All patients' Brunnstrom stage and MAS stage were ≥gradeⅡ. All the patients were treated with rehabilitative techniques. The intervention was applied for 3 months. All were evaluated for the severity of spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale,MAS),the level of impairment (Brunnstrom assessment and Fugl-Meyer upper limb test) and disability(Functional Independence Measure,FIM) before and after 1 week, 1,2,3 months of treatment. Results Patients who received BTXA had significant reduction of muscle tone (P

Objective To explore the effect of swallowing training on dysphagia in patients with head and neck neoplasm receiving ra-diotherapy. Methods 60 patients with head and neck neoplasm receiving radiotherapy from March, 2014 to August, 2015 were divided into intervention group (n=30) and control group (n=30) randomly. The control group received routine nursing and relevant health education, while the intervention group received swallowing training from 2 weeks before to 3 months after radiotherapy. They were assessed with Functional Oral Intake Scale and M. D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory 1 week, 3 months after radiotherapy. Results The scores of Function-al Oral Intake Scale (Z=-3.195, P<0.01), the total score of M. D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory and the subscores (t>4.385, P<0.01) were better in the intervention group than in the control group 1 week after radiotherapy, as well as 3 months after radiotherapy (Z=-4.436, P<0.01;t>5.361, P<0.01). Conclusion Swallowing training could improve the condition of dysphagia of head and neck neoplasm patients after radiotherapy.

Purpose To investigate the prognostic significance of NQO1 protein expression in colorectal carcinoma ( CRC) patients. Methods 192 cases of primary CRC, 28 of colonic dysplasia, and 44 of adjacent non-tumor tissues were selected for immunohisto-chemical staining of NQO1 protein. Correlation between NQO1 overexpression and clinicopathologic characteristics, and the survival rates were calculated by the statistical methods. Results The strongly positive rate of NQO1 protein in CRC was significantly higher than that in gastric dysplasia and adjacent non-tumor tissues (P<0. 01, respectively). NQO1 high-expression rate was positively cor-related with differentiation, serosal invasion, lymph node metastasis, and clinical stage (P <0. 05, respectively). Survival curve showed that the disease-free survival and 5-year survival rates of the patients with high NQO1 expression were obviously shorter than those of patients with low NQO1 expression (P<0. 001, respectively). Further analysis showed that, high expression of NQO1 predic-ted the lower disease-free survival and 5-year survival rates in late-stage patients (P<0. 01, respectively). Importantly, NQO1 was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of CRC using Cox proportional hazards regression model ( HR: 1. 398,95%CI: 1. 011 ~1. 934, P=0. 043). Conclusions Detection of NQO1 protein expression in CRC has an important clinical significance, and it is ex-pected to become a new biomarker for CRC.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of capillary leakage syndrome ( CLS ) occurring in critically ill newborns in Guangzhou. Methods Three tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou were chosen as research field;critically ill newborns with diagnosis as CLS in NICU of three hospitals were retro-spectively studied from January 2011 to December 2015; and the morbidity,mortality,causes,treatment and outcome of CLS neonates were analyzed. Results There were 49 cases diagnosed as CLS, accounting for 1. 62%(49/3 029)of the total number of critically ill newborns admitted to NICUs in the same period. The common primary factors were preterm low birth weight(34 cases,69. 4%),respiratory distress syndrome(38 cases,77. 5%),congenital anomaly(19 cases,38. 8%),asphyxia(17 cases,34. 7%),and intrauterine infec-tion(12 cases,24. 5%). The 83. 7%(41/49) of CLS occurred within 72 hours after admission. The overall mortality of CLS was 30. 6%( 15/49 ) . The main lethal cause was multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (60. 0%,9/15). Treatment included antibiotics,vasoactive drugs,fluid resuscitation,corticosteroids,and me-chanical ventilation. Conclusion CLS is a common critical illness in NICU with high mortality and poor prognosis. Early prediction and early intervention could improve survival and prognosis in critically ill neonates with CLS.

Objective To study the effect of three-dimensional (3D) animation on preoperative anxiety in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods One hundred and eighty-four LDH patients were randomly divided into experiment and control group in equal number. The control group was educated in traditional method and the experiment group in the form of 3D animation. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) was used for the assessment 2 h after admission into the hospital and 1d before operation. Results After the intervention, the score by SAS in the observation group was significantly lower than that before the intervention and control groups (P<0.001). The score by SAS in the control group was significantly lower than that of the control group and that before intervention (P<0.001). Conclusion Health education by 3D animation can relieve preoperative anxiety in the patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Objective To explore the composition and distribution law of TCM syndromes in gastric cancer. Methods Based on the multicenter and large-sample clinical epidemiological investigation, the four methods of diagnosis of and clinical materials of 767 cases of gastric cancer were collected, and the database of TCM syndromes in gastric cancer was establish. Factor analysis and clustering analysis were used to explore composition and distribution law of TCM syndromes in gastric cancer. Results Gastric cancer symptoms mainly included fatigue, weight loss, dizziness and other non-specific systemic manifestation, and epigastria discomfort, belching, fullness or eating just a little swelling, pain, acid regurgitation, loss of appetite and other local manifestations. At the same time, the red tongue, moss greasy, pulse fine or string and other traditional Chinese medicine signs were also included. Eliminating 92 cases with too little symptoms, 675 cases were under multivariate analyzed. 25 syndrome variables were selected after initial factor analysis, again through factor analysis 10 factors with eigenvalues more than 1.0 were obtained and the cumulative contribution rate was 60.5%. Through further K-means clustering analysis on 10 common factor integrals, it was found that when all the cases were clustered into 7 classes consistent with clinical practice most. The numbers of patients with the 1-7 type were 165, 82, 90, 79, 88, 95 and 76, respectively. Analysis on the main factors in the combination of professional knowledge, the 7 types were named as the syndrome of spleen and stomach qi stagnation (24.44%), the syndrome of qi and blood deficiency (12.15%), the syndrome of spleen deficiency (13.33%), the syndrome of blood stasis (11.70%), the syndrome of phlegm dampness (13.04%), the syndrome of deficiency cold of spleen and stomach (14.07%), the syndrome of incoordination between liver/gallbladder and stomach (11.41%) respectively. Conclusion The results of multivariate analysis suggests that the location of gastric cancer is in the stomach, and closely related to spleen, liver and gallbladder. The general pathogenesis is asthenia in origin and asthenia in superficiality. The deficiency lies in qi, blood and yang qi, while asthenia superficiality owes to stagnation of qi, phlegm and blood stasis.

Objective To explore the protective effect of Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue decoction on the immunological function in tumor-bearing mice treated by cyclophosphamide.Methods Transplantable carcinomas animal model were constructed by inoculating tumor cell to mice for 24 hours,and randomly divided into five groups.Tumor-bearing control group were reveived normal saline 0.2 mL per mice one day by intraperitoneal injection,and normal saline 0.4 mL per mice each day by intragastric administration.Cyclophosphamide group were reveived CTX 20 mg per kg weight each day,and normal saline 0.4 mL per mice each day.Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue Decoction low dose group were reveived CTX 20 mg per kg weight each day and traditional Chinese medicine 0.1 g per mice each day.Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue Decoction mediate dose group were reveived CTX 20 mg per kg weight each day and traditional Chinese medicine 0.2 g per mice each day.Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue Decoction high dose group were reveived CTX 20 mg per kg weight each day and traditional Chinese medicine 0.4 g per mice each day.The weight indices of thymus gland and spleen,NK-cell activity and the proliferation of T-lymphocyte in five groups were measured after ten 10 days treatment.Results The weight indices of thymus gland and spleen,NK-cell activity and the proliferation of T- lymphocyte were increased in all three Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue decoction groups,especially in Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue decoction mediate and high dose group,the differences between them and CTX group were statistically significan(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue decoction can antagonize the decrease of immunological function in tumor-bearing mice treated by chemotherapy.

The expression vector of SmIg scFv fragment was constructed in patient with B cell chronic lymphocyte leukemia (B-CLL) and expressed in E. coli to obtain scFv fragment, and the effect of the protein on the proliferation of stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was investigated in vitro. Two pairs of primers were designed, and variable region genes of light chain and heavy chain were amplified by PCR respectively from the pGEM-T vectors previously constructed in our laboratory which containing light chain gene or Fd fragment of heavy chain gene. The PCR product was digested, purified and inserted into pHEN2 vector to construct the soluble expression vector pHEN2-scFv. After the induction by IPTG, the scFv protein was identified by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and purified by Ni-NTA-Chromatography. MTT was used to determine the effect of purified protein on the proliferation of stimulated PBMC in vitro. Plasmid PCR and restriction enzyme digestion of pHEN2-scFv revealed the pHEN2-scFv vector was constructed successfully. Id-scFv protein was expressed in positive clone after induced by IPTG. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the relative molecular weight of fusion protein was about 30 kD (1 kD= 0.9921 ku), which was consistent with the theoretically predicted value. Proliferation of PBMC could be induced by purified Id-scFv. It was suggested that the expression vector of SmIg scFv fragment was constructed successfully, and scFv protein was expressed and secreted from E. coli, which could induce proliferation of PBMC. This may lay an experimental foundation for further research of Id-HSP complex vaccine for B-CLL.
