Objective To assess the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor and ambulatory function in incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Methods 18 incomplete SCI patients (AIS D) were randomized to treatment group (n=10) and control group (n=8). The treatment group received rTMS while the control group received sham stimulation for 2 weeks. All the patients received routine rehabilitation. They were assessed with Lower Extremity Motor Score (LEMS), 10 m Walking Test for Walking Speed, modified Ashworth scale (MAS), Walking Index for SCI Scale II(WISCI II), and Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) before and after treatment, and followed up for 2 weeks after treatment. Results The treatment group significantly improved in LEMS, walking speed, and SCIM after treatment and during follow up (P<0.05), while the control group improved only in SCIM (P<0.05). There was more significant improvement in LEMS in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05) after treantment and during follow up. There was no difference between two groups in MAS, walking speed, WISCI II and SCIM. Conclusion rTMS can further improve the motor of lowere limbs for incomplete SCI patients.

OBJECTIVETo study the mechanism of anti-tumor activity of Acanthopanax gracilistylus extract (Age).

METHODSThe tumor cells proliferation was detected by using (3H)-TdR incorporation method, and the effects of Age on cell cycle of tumor cells, retinoblastoma (Rb) protein and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk) were analyzed by flow cytometry and Western blotting assay, respectively.

RESULTSIt was indicated by cytoactivity test in vitro that Age only had effect in inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells, it couldn't lead to death of cells. Under action of Age, the proliferation of tumor cells was halted at G0/G1 stage of cell cycle, and showed no direct cytotoxic effect by Age. Age could induce lowering of the expression of Rb, Cdk2 and Cdk4, cause halt of tumor cell proliferation.

CONCLUSIONThe tumor inhibitory effect of Age is realized by way of regulating the activity of cell cycle controlling enzymes to suspend the proliferation of tumor cells.
