1.Diagnostic Problems of Hyperkinetic Disorders -Literature Analysis
Chinese Mental Health Journal 1992;0(01):-
There is great progress in the study of the diagnosis of hyperkinetic disorders in China within the latest ten years, but it is not enough. Three features are referred by reanalyzing 281 articles dating from 1997 to 2004 collected by the CJFD: 1) Several editions of diagnostic criteria and diagnostic methods are simultaneously used; 2) Comparing with the rate of utilization of the new edition, the old editions of diagnostic criteria constitute a small percentage ; 3) Diagnostic criteria and diagnostic tools have some shortcomings. Four recommendations maybe help to solve these problems:1) Make parents and teachers advance their acknowledgement of hyperkinetic disorders; 2) Develop and improve the diagnostic criteria and diagnostic tools through more researches; 3) Use advanced scientific apparatuses more widely; 4) Establish a perfect diagnostic system according to our culture.

The muscle tonus of 7 (43 trials) swimmers were measured by the side of theswimming pool before and after training when they felt muscle stiffness and sore-ness. The muscle tonus and EMG of 10 (20 trails) swimmers and 5 (10 trails) runnrswere also measured and taken in the laboratory when they had a pain in the muscleafter training. The results showed that after training the muscle tonus was significantly higherthan before and the athletes had muscle stiffness and soreness. After stretching,not only the muscle tonus decreased, the athletes also felt better. The amplitude of the EMG appeared higher in the first stretching. then it be-came lower and lower with the stretching even showed electric silence. At the sametime, the muscle tonus decreased and the soreness was relieved. This study suggested that the early muscle soreness and stiffness are not cau-sed by local tissue edema, which is thought to be due to biochemical end-productsof metabolism, especially lactic acid. If muscle soreness and stiffness after vigo-rous exercises are the result of tissue edema, they can not be readily relieved byway of stretching technique since the water causing tissue edema cannot be remo-ved from the muscle tissue to the circulation in only about 30 seconds. Therefore, in our opinion, the early muscle soreness and stiffness are not cau-sed by biochemical but by physiological reasons, i. e. the physiological reflex spasmrelated with the functional state of the muscle spindle sensing system. Of course.this still needs to be confirmed by more extensive study in the future.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Th17, CD4 +CD25 +Treg, HLA-DR mRNA in peripheral blood of children with EV71-induced hand, foot and mouth diseases ( HFMD ) and their clinical significance.Methods Stratified random sampling was used to select 60 children with HFMDs from Liaocheng People’s Hospital from February to October, 2014, including 20 mild, 20 severe and 20 critically ill cases.Twenty healthy children were also enrolled as the control group.All the children with HFMDs were given ribavirin (10 mg/kg) for the treatment.The percentages of Th17 and CD4 +CD25 +Treg cells in CD4 +T cells of peripheral blood were determined by flow cytometry, and the expression of HLA-DR mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR).Analysis of variance and SNK-q test were used to compare the expressions of Th17, CD4 +CD25 +Treg and HLA-DR mRNA among groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was performed to reveal the correlations between HLA-DR mRNA and Th17, CD4 +CD25 +Treg.Results Compared with the control group, the expression of Th17 was increased, while CD4 +CD25+Treg and HLA-DR mRNA expressions were decreased in children with HFMDs on d1 of treatment (F=310.4, 81.5 and 545.4, P<0.01).After treatment, Th17 levels in mild group, severe group and surviving children of critically ill group were decreased, CD4 +CD25 +Treg and HLA-DR mRNA expressions were increased, while in fatal cases, Th17 level was still on the rise, and CD4 +CD25+Treg and HLA-DR mRNA expressions were still decreasing. After 10 d of treatment, the difference in Th17 and CD4 +CD25 +Treg levels among mild group, severe group, surviving children of critically ill group and control group was of no statistical significance ( P >0.05), but Th17 level in fatal was still higher and CD4 +CD25 +Treg level was still lower than those in control group (t=16.4 and 12.0, P<0.05).After 10 d of treatment, HLA-DR mRNA expressions in mild group and severe group were increased to the normal level.HLA-DR mRNA expression in surviving patients of critical ill group was still lower than that in mild group and severe group (P<0.05), but was higher than that in fatal patients (t=7.8, P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that, HLA-DR mRNA was negatively correlated with Th17 level (r=-0.770, P<0.01), and positively correlated with CD4 +CD25 +Treg level (r=0.883, P<0.01).Conclusion The expressions of Th17, CD4 +CD25 +Treg cells, and HLA-DR mRNA are correlated with the severity of HFMD, and may be used for evaluation of disease severity and prediction of disease outcomes.

Objective To investigate the effects of repetitive ultraviolet A(UVA) radiation on the endocytosis and intracellular degradation of extracellular elastin by human dermal fibroblasts(HDFs), and to explore the mechanism responsible for elastin accumulation in photoaging skin. Methods Cultured HDFs were divided into two groups:repetitive UVA radiation group treated with UVA radiation(9.9 J/cm2)once a day for seven consecutive days to establish a chronic photodamage model, and blank control group receiving no treatment. For the verification of the model, flow cytometry was performed to detect cell cycle, and senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining to determine the degree of cell senescence. Fluorescent tracer technique and conjugated polymer-based fluorescence quenching technique were conducted to observe the endocytosis and intracellular degradation of extracellular elastin in culture media by HDFs in these groups. Results Compared with the blank control group, the repetitive UVA radiation group showed increased proportions of G1-phase cells and senescent cells, which confirmed the successful establishment of chronic photodamage model in the repetitive UVA radiation group. After coculture with elastin for 24, 48 and 72 hours, the endocytosis rate of elastin was 10.0% ± 1.4%, 27.8% ± 4.2% and 39.9% ± 4.1% respectively in the blank control group, 9.9% ± 1.6%, 28.3% ± 5.1% and 42.0% ± 5.7% respectively in the repetitive UVA radiation group, with no significant difference between the two groups at the three time points (all P > 0.05). The percentage of cells showing intracellular degradation of extracellular elastin was significantly lower in the repetitive UVA radiation group than in the blank control group (4.2% ± 1.1% vs. 7.7% ± 0.9% at 24 hours, 16.5% ± 2.4% vs. 22.8% ± 1.8% at 48 hours, 26.7% ± 2.6% vs. 33.9% ± 3.1% at 72 hours, all P < 0.05). Conclusions UVA radiation at 9.9 J/cm2 for 7 consecutive days can decrease the intracellular degradation of extracellular elastin by HDFs, but has no obvious effect on endocytosis of elastin.
