1.Effects of intensive controlled training of scapula for the pain of shoulder in patients with hemiplegia
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine 2001;16(1):37-39
Objective: To discuss the effects of prevention and treatment of intensive controlled training of scapula for the pain of shoulder in patients with hemiplegia. Method:65 stroke patients werer randomly divided into treatment group (35 cases) and control group( 30 cases). All of them received routine rehabilitation. The treatment group was intensive trained on scapula control. Result: In the treatment group the pain of shoulder and function of upper- limbs were signficantly improved,as compare with control group. Conclusion:It's indicated that the intensive controlled training of scapula was effective for prevention and care of the pain of shoulder in hemiplegia.

Objective: To discuss the effect of intensive insulin therapy on D-lactic acid and diamine oxidase level in patients with sepsis.Methods: 48 patients was divided into control group and conventional group randomly.Content of D-lactic acid and diamine oxidase in serum was detected with absorption spectrometry before and after therapy.Result: D-lactic acid and diamine oxidase in patients decreased significantly in control group compared to that of conventional group.Conclusion: Insulin can depress interstinal permeability and ameliorate sepsis symptom resulted from bacterial translocation from intestine.

Objective To investigate the effect of genistein on the proliferation,migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells and its molecular mechanism.Methods Prostate cancer LNCaP and CWR22RV1 cells were divided into the control group(conventional culture)and the experimental group(50μmol/L genistein treatment).The effect of genistein on the proliferation of prostate cancer cells were analyzed by MTT assay.The effect of genistein on the migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells were analyzed by cell scratch assay and Transwell assay.The protein levels of epithelial interstital transformation(EMT)intermediate markers E-Cadherin,N-Cadherin,Vimentin,and tumor stem cell markers CD44 and Oct-4 were detected by Western blot assay.Results MTT assay showed that genistein could inhibit the proliferation of prostate cancer cells.The scratch closure rates of LNCaP and CWR22RV1 cells were significantly reduced in the experimental group compared with those in the control group,and the number of cells passing through the Transwell membrane was significantly reduced(P<0.05).Western blot assay showed that genistein could down-regulate the expression levels of N-Cadherin,Vimentin,CD44 and Oct4 in prostate cancer cells,and up-regulate the expression of E-Cadherin in epithelial cells(P<0.01).Conclusion Genistein reduces the dryness of prostate cancer cells by inhibiting the EMT process,thus reducing the proliferation,migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells.

A growing body of evidence has linked the gut microbiota to liver metabolism. The manipulation of intestinal microflora has been considered as a promising avenue to promote liver health. However, the effects of Lactobacillus gasseri LA39, a potential probiotic, on liver metabolism remain unclear. Accumulating studies have investigated the proteomic profile for mining the host biological events affected by microbes, and used the germ-free (GF) mouse model to evaluate host-microbe interaction. Here, we explored the effects of L. gasseri LA39 gavage on the protein expression profiles of the liver of GF mice. Our results showed that a total of 128 proteins were upregulated, whereas a total of 123 proteins were downregulated by treatment with L. gasseri LA39. Further bioinformatics analyses suggested that the primary bile acid (BA) biosynthesis pathway in the liver was activated by L. gasseri LA39. Three differentially expressed proteins (cytochrome P450 family 27 subfamily A member 1 (CYP27A1), cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily B member 1 (CYP7B1), and cytochrome P450 family 8 subfamily B member 1 (CYP8B1)) involved in the primary BA biosynthesis pathway were further validated by western blot assay. In addition, targeted metabolomic analyses demonstrated that serum and fecal β-muricholic acid (a primary BA), dehydrolithocholic acid (a secondary BA), and glycolithocholic acid-3-sulfate (a secondary BA) were significantly increased by L. gasseri LA39. Thus, our data revealed that L. gasseri LA39 activates the hepatic primary BA biosynthesis and promotes the intestinal secondary BA biotransformation. Based on these findings, we suggest that L. gasseri LA39 confers an important function in the gut‒liver axis through regulating BA metabolism.
