1.Study on Neural Co-activation during Human Upper Limb Muscle Fatigue Based on Surface Electromyography
Chinese Journal of Sports Medicine 2017;36(4):290-295
Objectives To observe the co-activation phenomenon during exercise fatigue induced by the proximal muscles on the upper limbs.Methods Sixteen undergraduates not majoring in sports participated in this study,and their left arms were chosen as the observed arms and right arms were selected as the weighted arms.The weighted arm was alternatively in the state of relaxation without any load and fatigue after bending and extending elbow joints to uphold a 5 kg dumbbell.However,the observed arm kept weighing a 4 kg dumbbell with 90 degrees elbow flexion until the muscles were exhausted.The surface electromyography of biceps brachii and triceps brachii of the observed arms was measured using the ME6000.And the integrated surface electromyography (IEMG),root of mean square (RMS),mean power frequency (MPF)and median frequency (MF)were further analyzed.Results The IEMG and RMS of biceps brachii and triceps brachii of the observed arms increased gradually after the exercise began (P<0.05)regardless of in the relaxed state or in the in the state of weighing a 5 kg dumbbell for the weighted arm,but in the state of weighting a 5 kg dumbbell the IEMG and RMS increased more significantly (P<0.01),Meanwhile the electrical activities of the triceps brachii as an antagonistic muscle were intensively inhibited.The changes of MPF and MF of biceps brachii in the observed arms were more significant in the state of exercise fatigue than in the relaxed state (P<0.01),but without such an impact on the triceps brachii.Conclusions The fatigue in one arm can trigger contingent changes in sEMG time domain and frequency domain indexes of its contralateral parallel muscles,suggesting that sEMG changes of upper limb proximal muscles have the co-activation effect.
3.Advances in Studies on Missed Diagnosis of Intestinal Polyps and Related Factors in Colonoscopic Examination
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2016;21(2):115-117
In recent years,the incidence of colorectal polyps and colorectal carcinoma showed a trend to increase gradually. Statistical analysis demonstrated that 80% of colorectal carcinoma were developed from colorectal adenoma,and adenomatous polyps accounted for 1 / 2-1 / 3 of colorectal polyps. Endoscopy is the golden standard for examining intestinal lesions,yet it is not completely correct and certain missed diagnosis has occurred. Factors causing missed diagnosis of colonoscopy include lesion factors and non-lesion factors. This article reviewed the advances in studies on missed diagnosis of intestinal polyps and related factors in colonoscopic examination.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of fondaparinux sodium in the treat of deep vein thromboembolism after the surgery on lower limbs.Methods 83 cases of patients with lower extremity surgery from Jan 2013 to May 2015,were randomly divided into experimental group(42 cases) and control group(41 cases),the patients in experimental group were injected subcutaneously with fondaparinux sodium 2.5 mg,one time a day,for five days and the patients of control group administrated orally with rivaroxaban 10 mg, one time a day, for five days.All patients accepted the ultrasonic examination by Doppler’ s method before the experiment, seven days and one month later after the experiment.The occurrence of deep vein thromboembolism of all patients was counted,including Proximal thrombosis,Distal thrombosis and Total venous thrombosis,and recorded the occurrence of adverse reaction-subcutaneous hemorrhage.Results One case(2.38%)of deep vein thrombosis was appeared in the experimental group,and that was significantly lower than that of the control group seven case ( 17.07%, P <0.05 ) .Meanwhile, there was no patient observed adverse reaction in experimental group, while two cases were observed in control group ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusion Fondaparinux showed better clinical efficacy than rivaoxaban,and caused fewer adverse reaction.We can conclude that it is safe and effective for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis in patients accepting the lower limbs surgery.
6.Vitamin D and cerebral infarction
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2016;24(4):356-359
Vitamin D is a group of steroid hormones.Studies in recent years have shown that vitamin D is associated with the incidence of cerebral infarction,the severity of infarction,and functional outcome.In addition to the indirect effect of vascular risk factors,vitamin D may also play the direct protective effect by inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress after cerebral infarction.
7.Microsurgical treatment of ependymoma in conus medullaris and cauda equina
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(5):397-400
Objective To explore the microsurgical technique of ependymoma in conus medullaris and cauda equina. Methods Sixteen patients with ependymoma confirmed by pathology after operation in conus medullaris and cauda equina were analyzed retrospectively for their clinical manifestations, imaging features and microsurgical treatment. Results All patients conducted preoperative MRI, and total tumor resection was achieved in 14 patients and subtotal resection in 2 patients. The pathological examinations confirmed the tumor as myxopapillary ependymomas in 7 patients. Symptoms of fifteen patients were alleviated significantly after operation. One patient had urine retention after operation and was gradually restored 1 week after operation. All patients were followed up for 1-3 months, and there was no case of recurrence. Conclusions Ependymoma in conus medullaris and cauda equina is rare and easily misdiagnosed, with no specific clinical manifestations. MRI should be conducted as soon as possible to identify the diagnosis. Microsurgical treatment is an effective method for ependymoma in conus medullaris and cauda equina.

Journal of Clinical Surgery 2015;(5):351-353
Objective To analyze the relationship between plasma copeptin level and prognosis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods The clinical data of 48 SAP patients from January 2010 to October 2014 were collected and another 48 patients who accepted healthexamination dur-ing the same period were selected as controls.Difference in plasma copeptin level was compared between groups.The results of APACHEⅡ,Ranson and modified Marshall scores were also collected to evaluate the severity of disease and the existence of MODS.The prevalence of pancreas and peripancreatic tissues effusion,necrosis,pancreas and peripancreatic abscess,pancreatic pseudocyst and mortality of the experi-mental group were recorded to analyze the relationship among plasma copeptin,complications and mortali-ty.Results The plasma level of copeptin of the experimental group was 0.83 ~5.49ng/ml,with a mean of(3.48 ±1.32)ng/ml;while in the control group,it was 0.09 ~1.46ng/ml,with a mean of(0.23 ± 0.06)ng/ml.There was significant difference between the groups(P <0.05).Patient with a high plasma copeptin level may have a higher risk for local complication,MODS and mortality,and there was significant difference between the groups(P <0.05).A ROC curve identified that a plasma copeptin level >4.02 ng/mL predicted in-hospital mortality of patients,with a sensitivity of 72.7%and a specificity of 81.0%(AUC =0.831,95%CI =1.051 ~1.679,P <0.001).Conclusion SAP patients have elevated levels of plasma copeptin,and higher copeptin levels predict high risks of complications and mortality.
10.Ancient Greek Medicine and Ancient Chinese Medicine Division from the Relationgship between Medicine and Philosophy:Taking the Hippocratic Corpus and the Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor for Example
Chinese Medical Ethics 2015;(3):407-411
Unlike modern large differences between Chinese and Western medicine , in the early stage of hu-man development , the ancient Greek medicine and ancient Chinese medicine during their exploration has a remark-ably consistent .They all represent the most wisdom philosophy , and good tradition a doctor should have , and thus formed the medical ethics that affect later generations .We can see segment of a whole from the theoretical system between the earliest Chinese medical Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor which formed in the spring and autumn period and the warring states period and Hippocratic Corpus which is on behalf of the 5th century BC to the 2nd century BC, the ancient Greek medicine highest achievement .But since then , Chinese traditional medicine and Western medicine have achieved the last collision , And around the second century AD completely broke ranks .We have to seek the origins from the two kinds of heterogeneous soil China and ancient Greece .Research of the relationship be-tween the period of medicine and philosophy can help us find beneficial enlightenment for the difference .
