Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2006;10(24):164-166
BACKGROUND: In treatment of traditional acute myocardial infarction,patients were required to lie on the bed resting for 1-4 weeks. Recently research showed that early rehabilitation exercise in myocardial infarction patients could ameliorate the reservation of cardio function, increase exercise tolerance, augment myocardial hemoperfusion, decrease myocardial ischemia and reduce the anxious and depressive emotion.OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of early rehabilitation movement on activity of daily living, duration of hospital stay, mean hospitalized cost,incidence rate of arrhythmia and recurrence rate of myocardial infarction in two years.DESIGN: Non-randomized concurrent control analysis.SETTING: Beijing Tiantan Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 80 patients with acute myocardial infarction,who were hospitalized at Department of Circulation, Beijing Tiantan Hospital from August 2002 to October 2003, were enrolled. They were all at most 70 years old with stable pathogenetic condition. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was over 35%. They were not combined with severe hypertension, severe pulmonary disease, nerve and disease of locomotor system.METHODS: The selected cases based on patients' will were assigned into two groups (n=40), ①early rehabilitation group: They were treated with routine drugs, absolute bed rest for 24 hours. At day 2 the head stock was rose about 30°to do passive exercise of extremity joint. At days 3-5, the patients sat on the bed, 3 times per day. At days 6-7,the patients stood at bedside, 3 times per day. At days 8-9, the patients moved joints of extremities at bedside and walked slowly in room. At days 10-14, the patients exercised walking. If there were angina pectoris attacks, serious cardiac arrhythmias or dyspneic respiration, etc., the movement should be suspended or the exercise intensity came back to that in the former stage. ②Absolute bed rest group: The patients were absolute bed rest, and only treated with routine drug without any rehabilitation training.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Barthel index (full mark was 100 points, and < 60 points represented unable self-care) was used to assess activity of daily living of patients. Mean duration of hospital stay, mean hospitalized cost, incidence rate of arrhythmia and recurrence rate of my ocardial infarction in two years were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: A total of 80 patients that conducted the therapy and follow up were involved in the result analysis. ①Mean duration of hospital stay and mean hospitalized cost in the early rehabilitation group were less than those in the absolute bed rest group (17.1 days vs 24.5 days; 9 021.23 yuan vs 12 383.45 yuan; P < 0.05). ②Barthel index: There was insignificant difference before treatment between the two groups. It was significantly higher in the early rehabilitation group than that in the absolute bed rest group before discharge (81.43±13.57,70.68±11.48,P < 0.05). ③Six and seven patients had the onset of arrhythmia in the early rehabilitation group and the absolute bed rest group, respectively. ④Follow-up observation was performed for two years. The recurrence rate of myocardial infarction in the early rehabilitation group (5% ,2/40) was obviously lower than that in the absolute bed rest group (22 %,9/40).CONCLUSION: The early rehabilitation training is of benefit to elevate activity of daily living of myocardial infarction patients, reduce mean duration of hospital stay and mean hospitalized cost and decrease recurrence rate.
2.Relationship between the advanced glycation end products content and expressions of RAGE,ICAM-1 in vascular tissue of diabetic rats
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2001;21(2):131-135
In this study,the relationship between the advanced glycation end products(AGEs) and the expressions of receptor for AGEs(RAGE),intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) was investigated.The diabetic rat model was reconstructed and the fluorescence method,RT-PCR and in-situ hybridization techniques were used to detect AGEs content and the expressions of RAGE and ICAM-1 gene in the aorta and cardiac tissues.The results showed that AGEs content in aortic and cardiac tissues increased(P<0.01) in diabetic rats; The expressions of RAGE and ICAM-1 enhanced (P<0.05~0.01) and were positively correlated with the quantity of AGEs accumulation(P<0.01) in the aorta and cardiac tissue.These parameters change in the diabetic rats can be improved with aminoglumine(AG) treatment.Suggesting that AGEs might induce RAGE and ICAM-1 expression.It's postulated that AGEs binding to RAGE play an important role to result in diabetic endothelial cells dysfunction and lesion.
3.Evaluating the effect of embelin combined with paclitaxel on inhibiting A549 lung cancer cell proliferation and tumor growing in tumor-bearing nude mice growing
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;(2):7-9
Objective To evaluate the effect of embelin combined with paclitaxel on the inhibition of A 549 lung cancer cell proliferation and tumor growing in tumor bearing nude mice. Methods The anti-proliferation efficiency of embelin combined with paclitaxel were evaluated by MTT assay, and A 549 cell apoptosis were evaluated by lfow cytometry. A 549 cells were xenografted in mice to establish the animal model, which were used to evaluate the effect of anti-tumor. Results compared to saline group、embelin group and paclitaxel group, the (paclitaxel+embelin) group could inhibit the growth of A 549 cells effectively(P<0.05). The embelin combined with paclitaxel induced the apoptosis of A 549 cells more effective than paclitaxel alone. The (paclitaxel+embelin) group significantly inhibited the growth of tumor tissue. Conclusion the paclitaxel can inhibit the growth of A 549 cells, the embelin can induce the apoptosis of A 549 cells, and the combination of paclitaxel and embelin may be a potentially effective treatment for lung cancer.

International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2011;19(12):944-947
The mechanism of central nervous system injury is complex.Microglia cells participate in a variety of central nervous system diseases and damage processes.Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mediates the microglial activation and the expression of inflammatory cytokines.It is one of the important receptor proteins for microglia cells performing their functions.This article briefly introduces the role of TLR4 signal pathway in the central nervous system injury.

Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2013;(7):524-526
Abdominal increment is applied to patients with abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) after severe trauma,while for some patients,intra-abdominal volume increment could not close the fascia within the primary stage.For theses patients,abdominal wound skin grafting was conducted,and the planned hernia was formed.Planned abdominal hernia developed over time,and finally huge incisional hernia was formed.This article described a modified sliding myofascial flap of the rectus abdominus muscles for definitive abdominal wall reconstruction for a patient with huge planned abdominal hernia,and a good curative effect was obtained.

10.Establishment of gastric cancer model in nude mice
International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(7):472-474
The establishment of animal model is fundamental to the experimental studies. It involves the selection of animals and cell lines, the determination of the number of cells and the option of the ways of transplant. Only when each production step is operated by following the occurrence and the development mechanism of the gastric cancer, can we simulate the process of growth of the gastric cancer in human body.Due to their congenital immune deficiency, the nude mice serve a better choice for the establishment of gastric cancer animal model. Beyond that, the cell lines selection and transplant way option also play important roles.
