BACKGROUND: Physical therapy is an effective treatment for movement disorder caused by central nerve system injury, while incorrect rehabilitative method will exacerbate the movement disorders in patients.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of physical therapy on movement and daily activity of the patients suffering from brain injury.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study based on patients with a confirmativediagnosis.SETTING: Rehabilitation department in a university hospital.PARTICIPANTS: From September 2001 to August 2002, 78 patients hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Department of the Hospital Affiliated to Luzhou Medical College, with hemiplegia caused by brain injury, were selected into this study. The patients with severe brain injury, severe understanding disability, and severe heart diseases, lung diseases and kidney diseases were excluded.METHODS: The eligible patients were divided into two groups: the physical therapy group(48 patients) and the control group(30 patients) . All the patients in these two groups received medication and the hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), while the patients in the physical therapy group received an extra physical therapy.MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: A Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA) and a modified barthel index(MBI) were adopted to evaluate the pre-and post-treatment statuses of the patients in these two groups.RESULTS: No significant difference in age, sex and disease course between the physical therapy group and the control group was found. In the physical therapy group, the FMA scale before and after the therapy were 40.43 ± 21.78 and 68.35 ±23.39, and the corresponding MBI scale were 32.82 ± 17.40 and 78.84 ± 25.31 respectively. In the control group,meanwhile, the FMA scales were 41.71 ± 19. 13 and 51.48 ± 22.58, and the MBI scales were 33.02 ± 12.48 and 56.65 ± 26.53. Before the therapy,comparison of FMA and MBI between the two groups showed no significant difference. While after the therapy, significant difference of FMA and MBI between the two groups could be confirmed( t = 2. 14, 2.21, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Physical therapy could apparently enhance the rehabilitation of movement ability in patients with brain injury.

Objective To analyse the clinical usage of Shenmai injection, promote the rational use of Shenmai injection. Methods 400 hospital medical records that used Shenmai injection in 2015 were collected and reviewed from hospital information system (HIS) by retrospective analysis method, aggregated and evaluated data by EXCEL. Results In 400 cases, 11 clinical departments used the Shenmai injection, mainly in cardiology of 347 cases(86.75%).The percentage of the non-standard clinical application of Shenmai injection was 84 cases (21.00%). The non-standardized rates of solvent dispensing was 287 cases (71.75%), and the specification incompatibility accounted for 105 cases (26.25%). There was no adverse drug reaction of Shenmai injection. Conclusion The clinical use of Shenmai injection is not yet standardized, which suggests that drugs should be strictly used in accordance with the instruction, in order to avoid risks of off-label use.

Objective To investigate the role of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ in severe Mycoplasma pneumonia among children.Methods One hundred and forty children with M.pneumoniae pneumonia (65 severe and 75 non-severe) who were hospitalized were enrolled along with forty other children as controls.X-ray was assessed.The proportions of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+FoxP3+cells were determined by flow cytometry.Results Both severe and non-severe children had decreased CD4+CD25+FoxP3+cells as compared with control subjects in acute phase (0.87 ± 0.66% vs.3.88 ± 2.00%,P < 0.01 and 1.17 ± 0.70% vs.3.88 ±2.00%,P <0.01,respectively).The levels of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+cells in severe children were lower than those in non-severe children in acute phase and recovery phase (0.87 ±0.66% vs.1.17 ±0.70%,P <0.05 and 1.66 ±0.85% vs.3.61 ± 1.45%,P<0.01,respectively).Both severe children and non-severe children expressed higher CD4+CD25+FoxP3+cells in recovery phase than in acute phase (1.66 ± 0.85 % vs.0.87 ± 0.66%,P <0.01 and 3.61 ± 1.45% vs.1.17 ±0.70%,P <0.01,respectively).Conclusion The expression of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+Tregs may play a role in the onset of severity of mycoplasma pneumonia and the low express of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+Tregs in children infected with M.pneumonia may increase the susceptibility to severe mycoplasma pneumonia.

Background The pathogenesis of age-related cataract is associated with the apoptosis of lens epithelial cells (LECs) caused by oxidative stress.Previous studies showed that intracellular focal adhesion kinase (FAK) pathway can be activated by H2O2 in vitro,which induced apoptosis of cells.To investigate the effect of oxidative on FAK expression in LECs is one of important studies in the prevention of age-related cataract.Objective This study was to investigate the expression and function of FAK in human LECs treated by H2O2.Methods Human LECs strain (HLECs-B3) were cultured in vitro in the low glucose DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum.Different concentrations (0,30,50,70,100,300,500,700,1000 μmol/L) of H2O2 were added into the culture medium for 24 hours.The survival rate of the cells was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay.Cell morphology as well as the expression and distribution of FAK in the cells were observed by immunofluorescent staining under the laser confocal microscope.Apoptosis was observed by hoechst33258 staining,and Western blot assay was used to quantitatively detect the expression and phosphorylation of FAK.Results The survival rate of the cells was (1.00±0.03) %,(1.24±0.03)%,(1.36±0.24) %,(0.93±0.02)%,(1.75±0.19)%,(1.37±0.18) %,(0.64±0.01)%,(0.59±0.11)%,(0.14±0.05)% in 0,30,50,70,100,300,500,700,1000 μmol/L H2O2 groups,with a significant difference among them (F =95.30,P =0.00).The survival rates of the cells in the below 300 μmol/L H2O2 groups were significantly higher than those in the 0 μmol/L H2O2 group,and survival rates of the cells in the above 500 μmol/L H2O2 groups were significantly lower than those in the 0 μmol/L H2O2 group(all at P<0.05).After H2 O2 treatment for 24 hours,HLECs-B3 cells transformed from polygon shape to spindle shape and extended pseudopodiums,meanwhile the green fluorescence for FAK exhibited in the cytoplasm.Cell apoptosis was found in the 1000 μ mol/L H2O2 group.Western blot assay revealed that the expressing levels (grey scale) were significantly different among the various groups (F=28.08,P=0.00),and FAK expressing levels in the below 300 μmol/L H2O2 groups were significantly higher than those of the 0 μmol/L H2O2 group; while the expressing levels in the above 500 μmol/L H2O2 groups were lower than those of the control 0 μmol/L H202 group (all at P<0.05).After treated by different concentrations of H2O2,the phosphorylation level of intracellular FAK (p-FAK) was significantly higher in 3 hours group than that in 30 minutes group (all at P<0.05).Conclusions H2 O2 can affect the survival,proliferation and morphology of human LECs by activating the intracellular FAK pathway,indicating that FAK may play roles in the regulation process of cell biological behavior.
