Objective To evaluate the clinical practical value of the heart rate viability test in the patients with malignant tumor during their therapies. Methods Totally 187 cases were analyzed and were divided into three different groups, which included 90 malignant tumor patients before therapy, 45 patients with chemotherapy and 52 non-malignant tumor cases (control group). We compared four HRV indexes(ASDNN5,SDANNS, SDNN and RMSSD) of the patients between the different groups as well as inside each group. Results There were statistical significances in the indexes of ASDNN5, SDANN5 and SDNN of patients at different stages before therapy, the three indexes of the stage Ⅲ group were lower than those of the stage Ⅰ group and the control group as well. The three indexes of the stage Ⅳ group compared with the stage Ⅰ group or the control group (P<0.05) were lower either. There was also statistical significances in SDNN between the stage Ⅲ and the stage Ⅱ of the before-therapy group (P< 0. 05). The indexes of SDANN5 and SDNN of the stage Ⅳ in the chemotherapy group were lower than those of the same stage in the before-therapy group(P<0.05). Conclusions The later the stage of malignant tumor patients is, the more the index of HRV declines. Chemotherapy may affect autonomic nerve function of stage Ⅳ patients with malignant tumor and decrease their HRV.

BACKGROUND: At the process of wound healing, the epithelial cells and epidermal stem cells interactions is complicated which promoting the mechanisms of wound healing. The abnormities of any fine phase can be result in delayed healing or scarring. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the characterization of epithelial cells and epidermal stem cells and their interaction in wound healing so that we can recognize the mechanisms of scarring from histomorphology, biochemistry and molecular variations. METHODS: A computer-based online search of Pubmed Database was undertaken to identify the relevant articles on epithelial cell and epidermal stem cells interactions in wound healing and results in scarring published from 1974 to 2009 with the key words of "epithelial cells, epithelial stem cells, wound healing, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, hypertrophic scar, keloid" in English. At the same time, Chinese relevant articles were searched in China Journal Full-text Database (CJFD) published between 1999 and 2009 with the same key words in Chinese. A total of 43 articles were collected about the cell structure (3 articles), the cell interactions in wound healing and scarring (16 articles), the relevant on epithelial stem cells (24 articles).RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The effect of different cells in epithelial tissue is known to all. The keratinocytes and fibroblasts had been on studying frequently, and their closely correlated to scarring. At present, the epithelial stem cells has been confirmed, but the relevant on their location, quality and specific epidermal markers are unclear which need to study and explore. With the rapidly development of science and technology, we maybe control the expression of cells by genic regulation not only culture the cells of our need but to prevent the scarring.

BACKGROUND:In sports or in daily life, damage due to sudden power, especialy due to non-physiological release,is commonly seen. For example, during basketbal, soccer, rugby, or martial arts movement, oppositional and explosive movements result in a higher incidence of ankle injuries. While conventional methods can improvesymptoms, the long-term efficacy is unsatisfactory, accompanied by a higher incidence of complications that are likely to cause secondary damage.
OBJECTIVE:To prepare a calcified biomimetic scaffold for bone tissue engineering and to observe the therapeutic effect of this scaffold onmartialarts-induced ankle injuries.
METHODS:Eighty patients withmartialarts-induced ankle injury were selected from Chengdu Sport Institute between December 2014 and December 2015. These patients were randomly assigned to control group with drug treatment and biomimetic scaffold group with calcified biomimetic scaffold implantation (n=40 per group). Acelular suspension prepared by goat cartilage was used to make cartilage tissue blocks with a calcified layer with a diameter of 8 mm in a prechiled abrasive apparatus. Then, the calcified biomimetic scaffold for bone tissue engineering was prepared using lyophilization and chemical crosslinking methods.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Osteochondral tissues were partialy hyalinized on the surface with the presence of osteochondral calcified layer. The hyalinized cartilage was white in color, the calcified layer existed between normal osteochondral tissues, and the subchondral bone was considered as the cancelous bone. Then the calcified layer was stained using hematoxylin-eosin. We found that cartilage cels in the calcified layer were basicaly removed, forming “empty nests” one by one. But the structure of bone cartilage in the tissue block, the calcified layer and the subchondral bone retained wel. For pain assessment, visual analog scale scores were detected and showed no difference between two groups prior to treatment (P> 0.05), but became significantly higher in the biomimetic scaffold than the control group at 1 and 4 weeks after treatment (P< 0.05). Besides, the biomimetic scaffold exhibited better therapeutic efficacy than the drug treatment (P< 0.05). Overal, this study successfuly prepare the calcified biomimetic scaffold for bone tissue engineering that is suitablefor repair of sport-induced ankle injuries.

Objective:To prove the feasibility and validity ofXing Nao Jing acupoint-injection (XNJ-AI) at Fengchi (GB 20) for pseudobulbar palsy caused by ischemic stroke (PBP-IS).
Methods:An assessor-blinded, two-parallel-group, randomized controlled trial was conducted, and the patients with PBP-IS were recruited and randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group received oral aspirin (100 mg per day for 2 weeks). In addition to oral aspirin; patients in the treatment group received XNJ-AI at Fengchi (GB 20), once a day, for two weeks. The primary outcome was assessed by the water-swallowing test (WST). Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1a (6-keto-PGF1a) in plasma were measured before and after the treatment.
Results:In the treatment group, the percentage of swallowing function no less than grade 3 before and after the treatment was 32% and 88%, respectively; in the control group, it was 28% and 76% before and after the treatment, respectively; the difference after the treatment between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were statistical differences between pre- and post-treatment levels of plasma TXB2and 6-keto-PGF1αin the two groups (bothP<0.05). After the treatment, there were significant differences in the levels of plasma TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α between the two groups (bothP<0.05).
Conclusion:XNJ-AI at Fengchi (GB 20) can improve the patients’ swallowing function and balance the levels of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α in plasma.

[Summary ] Accumulating evidence showed the associations between subclinical hyperthyroidism or subclinical hypothyroidism and adverse health outcomes. The related guidelines could be very helpful in making treatment decisions. However, even within the reference range, thyroid function is associated with adverse health outcomes, such as atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, and dyslipidemia. Also, there is limitation to use TSH value as intervention threshold by the influence of age and other diseases. In this regard, a grading system is proposed to diagnose thyroid dysfunction, and risk stratification according to individual TSH values and comorbidities would be constructed to evaluate the utility of treatment.
