Objective To observe the effects of 8-week aerobic exercise on skeletal muscle glycogen content and exercise endurance and investigate the possible mechanism in rats with chronic heart failure. Methods 30 Sprague-Dawley rats were submitted to heart failure sedentary (H) group, heart failure traning (HT) group and sham operation (S) group. The heart failure model was established with coronary artery ligation. HT group performed an 8-week treadmill running. The skeletal muscle glycogen content was determined with anthracenone, exercise endurance with exhaust duration of graded exhausted exercise test, glucose uptake rate, activity of glycogen synthase (GS) and glycogen phosphorylase (GP) with radicisotope, protein expression of total GS, phospho-GS (p-GS), total GP and phospho-GP (p-GP) with Western Blotting. Correlation analysis was conducted between glycogen content and exhaust duration. Results The skeletal muscle glycogen, exhaust duration, glucose uptake rate, GS activity and p-GP protein reduced (P<0.05), while serum insulin, GP activity and p-GS protein raised (P<0.05) in the H group compared with those in the S group. The skeletal muscle glycogen, exhaust duration, glucose uptake rate, GS activity and p-GP protein increased (P<0.05), while serum insulin, GP activity and p-GS protein decreased (P<0.05) in the HT group compared with those in the H group. There was positive correlation between glycogen content and exhaust duration (P<0.05). Conclusion Prolonged aerobic exercise enhanced skeletal muscle glycogen content and exercise endurance in rats with chronic heart failure, which may be related to the improvement of insulin sensitivity, muscle glucose uptake, increase of glycogen synthesis and decrease of glycogen breakdown.

Objective:To construct the finite element models of maxillary central incisor and the simu-lations with crown lengthening surgery and post-core restoration in management of different crown-root fracture types, to investigate the stress intensity and distributions of these models mentioned above, and to analyze the indications of crown lengthening from the point of view of mechanics. Methods:An extrac-ted maxillary central incisor and alveolar bone plaster model were scanned by Micro-CT and dental impression scanner ( 3shape D700 ) respectively. Then the 3D finite element models of the maxillary central incisor and 9 simulations with crown lengthening surgery and post-core restoration were construc-ted by Mimics 10. 0, Geomagic studio 9. 0 and ANSYS 14. 0 software. The oblique static force (100 N) was applied to the palatal surface ( the junctional area of the incisal 1/3 and middle 1/3 ) , at 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis, then the von Mises stress of dentin, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, post and core, as well as the periodontal ligament area, were calculated. Results:A total of 10 high-precision three-dimensional finite element models of maxillary central incisor were established. The von Mises stress of models: post >dentin >alveolar bone >core >periodontal ligament, and the von Mises stress increased linearly with the augmentation of fracture degree ( besides the core) . The periodontal ligament area of the crown lengthening was reduced by 12% to 33%. The von Mises stress of periodontal ligament of the B2L2c, B2L3c, B3L1c, B3L2c, B3L3c models exceeded their threshold limit value, respective-ly. Conclusion: The maxillary central incisors with the labial fracture greater than three-quarter crown length and the palatal fracture deeper than 1 mm below the alveolar crest are not the ideal indications of the crown lengthening surgery.

Objective To compare tbe efficacy of conventional therapy,psychotherapy,serotonin reuptake in- hibitor,and psychotherapy combined with serotonin reuptake inhibitor in rehabilitating nerve function in the treatment of post-stroke depression.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with post-stroke depression were divided into a control group(A),a group treated with serotonin reuptake inhibitor (B),a psychotherapy group (C) and a group in which psychotherapy was combined with serotonin rcuptake inhibitor(D).These groups were graded with the SDS for the degree of their depression and with the MESSS for their muscle strength before andafter treatment.Results The anti-depression therapies showed significantly different effects in improving depression.After eight weeks,group D showed significantly less depression than the others.However,muscle strength did not show statistically significant differences until twelve weeks,when group D again showed better progress than the others.Conclusion Psychothera- py combined with serotonin reuptake inhibitor can promote the rehabilitation of nervous function-after stroke.

OBJECTIVE:To put forward the tentative idea of the application of the access and benefit-sharing regime in the field of Chinese medicine.METHODS:The existing problems of protecting biological diversity in the field of Chinese medicine and what problems the access and benefit-sharing regime could solve were analyzed.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:Our preliminary idea for applying access and benefit-sharing regime in the field of Chinese medicine is to set up a special department for negotiation,identify the rights and subject,construct registration system and informed consent procedure,improve the source disclosure system and add the benefit-sharing regulation.

Objective To observe the efficacy of pulsed dual-wavelength 595 and 1064 nm laser in treating ulcerated infantile hemangioma.Methods Lesions from 40 patients were treated with the laser.The distribution of lesion sites was in buttuck and perianal area (13 patients),vulvar lips (7),groin and inside thigh (5),scrotum (4),neck (3),scalp (2),lip (2),trunk and limbs (4).All lesions including ulcer and non-ulcer were conducted with 595 nm plused dye leaser at the first therapy.Later,595 nm pulsed dye leaser was continued or performed with Group 1 or Group 2 parameter of 595 and 1064 nm multiplex mode until the treatment was finished according to the thickness of the lesion.The frequency of treatment was one to six times.The interval of the treatment was four weeks.Results The ulcer from 39 lesions healed gradually in 1 to 2 weeks (average 9.5 days) after the first treatment.These ulcer lesions were healed four weeks after the first time of therapy.The recovery rate of ulcerated lesion was 97.5 ％.For the whole lesion,after 1 to 6 treatments,13 lesions showed excellent result,19 lesions showed good result,and the effective rate was 80 ％.Pain relieved 2 to 7days (average 3.5 days) after the first laser therapy in 35 patients who accompanied with pain.Pain score decreased from 1.875 to 0.125 before and after treatment,with significant difference(P＜0.05).The tolerance of the treatment was good and no side effect was observed.Conclusions 595and 1064 nm dual-wavelength laser is a safe and effective tool for treating ulcerated infantile hemangioma.

Objective To explore the relation between the infection of Helicobacter pylori (H .pylori)and colorectal tumor.Methods From January 2012 to January 2013,the medical data of 152 patients with colorectal tumor were collected.According to the findings of colonoscopy examination, the patients were divided into the colorectal adenoma group (84 cases)and the colorectal carcinoma group (68 cases).A total of 88 healthy individuals were also enrolled as control.The differences of H .pylori infection were compared among the colorectal adenoma group,the colorectal carcinoma group and the healthy control group.The distribution of H .pylori infection in different age,gender and nation was analyzed in colorectal tumor group.According to the location,maximum diameter,number,type of pedicle and pathological type of adenoma,the colorectal adenoma group was divided into subgroups and the condition of H .pylori infection was compared among the subgroups.Chi-square test was used in the statistical analysis.Results The positive rates of H .pylori infection of colorectal adenoma group, colorectal carcinoma group and healthy control group were 70.2% (59/84),72.1 % (49/68)and 53.4%(47/88),respectively,where the former two groups were both higher than that of the healthy control group,and the differences were statistically significant (χ2 =5 .147 and 5 .637,both P <0.05).Regarding the H .pylori infection,there was no difference in age,gender and ethnicity among 152 patients with colorectal tumor (all P > 0.05 ).Among 84 patients with colorectal adenoma,there was no statistical difference in the positive rate of H .pylori infection in different location,maximum diameter,number, type of pedicle and pathological type of adenoma (all P > 0.05).Conclusion H .pylori may have promoting effects on the genesis and development of colorectal tumor.
