SJAMP and HLAMP are glucose-containing acidic mucopolysacc-harides isolated from sea cucumbers, Stichopus Japonicus and Holot-huria Lecospilota respectively. Their effects on the interaction of thrombin with endothelial cells were studied. Human vascular endothelial cells isolated from umbilical veins treated with 0.1% collagenasc were cultured with MEM medium. The contents of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and 6-keto-PGFla, stable hydrolysis product of PGI,, in the culture medium were measured with ELISA and immunoradioassay technique. The addition of thrombin to confluent monolayer endothelial cells resulted in a significant increase in the release of vWF and 6 ~ keto-PGFla in the culture medium. When heparin,SJAMP or HLAMP was added, no significant amount of vWF or 6~keto-PGFla could be detected in the medium .Whereas preincubation of thrombin with heparin, SJAMP or HLAMP respectively inhibited the thrombin-induced vWF and 6-keto-PGF 10 release and this effect was well correlated with the dose of heparin, SJAMP or HLAMP, indicating that SJAMP, HLAMP as well as heparin had inhibitory effect on the interaction of thrombin with endothelial cells

Objective To identity factors influencing willingness to participate in shoulder and neck rehabilitative exercise in laryngeal cancer patients after neck dissection surgery, and to provide reference for subject recruitment in research of similar kind. Methods Between December 2014 to December 2015, when study was conducted to subjects participating in shoulder and neck rehabilitative exercise in laryngeal cancer patients after neck dissection surgery, demographic and disease-related data of patients in two groups (those who were willing /unwilling to participate in the study) were retrospectively analyzed. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictive factors influencing willingness to participate in shoulder and neck rehabilitative exercise in laryngeal cancer patients after neck dissection surgery. Results It was revealed by single factor analysis that differences of the following variables between the two groups were statistically significant: age (t=-3.12, P=0.001), whether living in solitude (χ2=4.55, P=0.030), whether currently employed (χ2=9.92, P=0.002), whether with other chronic diseases (χ2=7.91, P=0.004), and whether with radiotherapy after surgery (χ2=4.95, P=0.030); no statistical differences were found regarding tumor location, staging, or neck dissection method (P>0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that age (OR=0.71, P=0.001), living alone (OR=0.76, P=0.005) and postoperative radiotherapy (OR=0.88, P=0.001) were predictors of patients' participation in shoulder and neck rehabilitation exercise. Conclusions Certain demographic factors may play a role in the patients' decision on whether or not to participate in shoulder and neck rehabilitation exercise. Senior patients and patients who live alone showa bigger tendency of refusing to attend the exercises. Also, postoperative radiotherapy reduces the patients' willingness in participating in shoulder and neck rehabilitation exercise.
