Objective To study the efficacy of movement imagination combined with biofeedback for stroke patients with upper extremity dysfunction. MethodsEighty stroke survivors were recruited and randomly divided into a movement imagination group ( n =40) and a movement imagination combined with biofeedback group ( n =40).Their EMG mean values during wrist dorsiflexion were amplified and calculated.Fugl-Meyer upper extremity function scores (FMAs) and the modified Barthl index (MBI) were recorded before and after 6 weeks of treatment.ResultsAfter 6 weeks of treatment the two groups had significantly higher mean EMG values,FMA scores and MBI scores,but the effects in the combination group were significantly better than those in the simple movement imagination group. ConclusionMovement imagination can be made more effective by combining it with biofeedback for promoting the recovery of stroke patients with upper extremity dysfunction.

Objective To observe the effect of electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback on lower limbs motor function in stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods 60 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided into treatment group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Both groups accepted exercise therapy, and the treatment group accpted EMG biofeedback in addition. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Barthel Index (BI) before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results There was no significant difference between 2 groups in the scores of FMA, BBS and BI before treatments (P>0.05). All the scores significantly improved after treatments in both groups (P<0.05), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Electromyographic biofeedback can further improve lower limbs motor function, balance and activities of daily living of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective To discuss the risk factors of progressive hemorrhagic injury(PHI)in patients with craniocerebral injury.Methods Clinical data of 149 patients with closed craniocerebral injury were retrospectively analyzed,and the patients were divided into PHI group (42 cases)and non -PHI group (107 cases)according to PHI appeared or not.The patients were immediately given CT scan after admitted,the first CT review was given in the non -PHI group within routine 4 -8h after first CT scan,and due to deterioration of clinical symptoms,the PHI group was given CT review in advance.The intracranial hematoma volume changes between first CT and first CT review in the two groups were observed,then clinical symptoms,signs,biochemical indicators and CT performance in the two groups were compared,and analyzed risk factors of PHI.Results The intracranial hematoma volume showed in CT scan,first CT review and increment volume of the PHI group were significantly higher than the non -PHI group [(14.59 ±4.60)mL vs.(7.28 ±2.94)mL,(25.92 ±8.84)mL vs.(8.35 ±3.41)mL,(10.20 ±3.45)mL vs. (2.10 ±0.65)mL],the differences were significant (t =6.796,11.894,9.367,all P <0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that pupil dilation,consciousness disturbance,intracranial hematoma volume >10mL were major risk factors of PHI (P <0.05).Conclusion In closed craniocerebral injury,we should pay more attention on PHI if patients with age >50 years old,mydriasis,conscious disturbance,intracranial hematoma volume >10mL in first CT scan.

【Objective】 To analyze the reentry of single reagent reactive voluntary blood donors in our center, in order to provide data support and reference for the recall of single reagent reactive blood donors. 【Methods】 Collect the information of eligible blood donors from the information system of our center from January 2019 to September 2023 were collected, and the reentry were tracked and retrospectively analyzed. The demographic characteristics, active reentry rate, and re-donation rate of eligible blood donors were analyzed, and the differences between qualified reentry rates and factors affecting re-donation were compared using chi-square test. 【Results】 A total of 3 361 blood donors met the reentry criteria, with an active reentry rate of 2.7% (91/3 361) and a qualified reentry rate of 80.21% (73/91). The reentry rate of eligible blood donors showed significant differences in terms of different genders(3.3% vs 2.1%), educational background(3.7% vs 2.3%), blood donation frequency(9.3% vs 4.0% vs 1.3%), testing items(7.7% vs 2.7% vs 1.9% vs 1.3%) and blood donation types(18.1% vs 2.0%) (P<0.05). Difference was noticed in the qualified rate of blood donor reentry among different age groups (61.1% vs 94.4% vs 81.8%) (P<0.05). A total of 126 blood donors donated again, with a total volume of 47 800 mL, a re-donation rate of 49.3% (36/73) and a qualified rate of re-donation of 98.4% (124/126), showing a difference between repeat blood donors and first-time donors (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The active reentry rate of single reagent reactive blood donors in our center is relatively low, but the qualified rate of reentry and the re-donation rate are both high. The re-donation is mainly donation of apheresis platelets, and successful reentry blood donors have a strong willingness to donate blood.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of the Mongolian medicine Sugemule-4 on the metabolism of insomnia rats, and to preliminarily explore its possible mechanisms for improving insomnia. METHODS The rat model of chronic stress insomnia was established by tail clipping stimulation and intraperitoneal injection of p-chlorophenyl alanine solution. Twenty-four male rats were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, diazepam group (positive control, 0.92 mg/kg), and Sugemule-4 group (5.2 g/kg), with 6 rats in each group. Since the 7th day of tail clipping stimulation, the Sugemule-4 group and diazepam group began to be intragastrically administered with relevant medicine; the normal group and model group were intragastrically administered with an equal volume of distilled water, once a day, for 14 consecutive days. The learning and memory abilities of rats were tested using a water maze experiment, and the non-invasive sleep activity monitoring system was used to monitor the 24- hour sleep time of rats. A metabolomics study was conducted on rat serum and hippocampal tissue by using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The multivariate statistical analysis method was adopted to analyze the differential metabolites in serum and hippocampal tissue of rats, and screen for differential metabolites and metabolic pathways among those groups. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the escape latency of rats in the model group was significantly increased, the times of crossing platforms were significantly reduced, and the percentage of average 24-hour sleep time was significantly reduced (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the levels of the above indicators were significantly reversed in the diazepam group and Sugemule-4 group (P<0.05). Metabolomics studies found that a total of 9 differential metabolites were identified in rat serum and hippocampal tissue, including 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, canine urate, canine urinary quinolinic acid, 5-hydroxytryptamine, phenol sulfate, 1-carboxyethyltyrosine, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) lactate, N-acetyl tyrosine, tyrosine and phenol sulfate, mainly involving 2 metabolic pathways of tryptophan and tyrosine.CONCLUSIONS Sugemule-4 can improve the sleep time and behavioral performance of insomnia rats, and its mechanism may be associated with affecting amino acid metabolic pathways such as tryptophan and tyrosine.
