The effects of testosterone on the mitochondria Ca~(2+)—ATPase activity of uninfarcted ventricular septum following myocardial infarction (MI) was observed dynamically by using the experimental MI model in rat. The results showed that on l day after MI the mitochondria Ca~(2+)—ATPase activity of non—ischemic area was more higher than that of the normal control group (p

Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the functional and morphological changes in the cervical spine with protrusion of cervical disc (PCD) under different directions of traction. Methods MRI scanning was used to study the effect of different directions of traction on the movement of protrusive disc，compression index of spinal cord and changes of intervetebral space,as well as the cases with degeneration. Results　Differences were found in the effect of different directions of traction. Most significant partial reduction of the protrusive disc was experienced in flexion traction. Both flexion and extension traction caused significant decrease in the index of compression of spinal cord. Extension traction caused marked narrowing of the posterior intervertebral space in the group with decreased disc size,while no difference between the groups with and without decreased disc size when given flexion traction. There was no difference in the anterior intervertebral space between the two directions of traction. No morphological change was observed in cases with degeneration using either direction of traction. Conclusion PCD could caused the change in the fine morphology of normal vertebral joints. The traction direction should be chosen according to the condition of the individual case. The compression index could better reflect the nature of spinal cord injury than the size of the disc protrusion. Traction would not give much benefit in cases with degeneration.

Objective To observe the effect of the early reinforced control ability training of the trunk and pelvis on the motor function of patients with stroke.MethodsFifty-six patients with stroke were randomly divided into the therapy group and control group with 28 cases in each group. The patients of two groups were treated with regular rehabilitation training, forty-five minutes at a time, twice one day; at the same time the patients of the therapy group were administrated with the control ability training in the trunk and pelvis, twenty minutes at a time, twice one day. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale (FMA), the Barthel Index (BI) and functionality ambulation category (FAC) were used to assess the motor function of the patients, before and after the treatment.ResultsTwo months after treatment, there was a significant increasing in the FMA, BI, FAC and hemiplegia gait analysis assessment in the both groups ( P<0.05～0.01), but the walking ability of the therapy group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P<0.05).ConclusionCombined the early reinforced control ability training of the trunk and pelvis with routine rehabilitation training is obvious effect on the motor function of the patients with stroke.

ObjectiveTo study effects of treating acute progressive cerebral infarction by the brain-located mild hypothermia therapy.Methods60 patients were randomly divided into the treatment group (30 cases) and the control group (30 cases). Drugs were used in both groups, and the located mild hypothermia therapy was only applied in the treatment group. After 72 hours and 7 days, the volume of cerebral infarction and the nerve function deficiency (NFD) scores of hemiplegic limbs were compared.ResultsThe volume of cerebral infarction of the treatment group was significantly smaller than that of the control group (P<0.01).There were significant differences on the neurological impairment scores between two groups (P<0.01).Conclusions The brain-located mild hypothermia therapy can reduce hydrocephalus of patients with acute progressive cerebral infarction, and have brain protection. These results provide an important theoretical foundation for the treatment of cerebral infraction with low-temperature therapy.
