Objective To examine the relationships among measures of gait recovery and community integra-tion index in people with brain injury.Methods 142 brain injured patients were chosen in this study.Community Balance and Mobility Scale,Dynamic Gait Index,Ten-Meter Walk Test for gait speed,and the Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) was measured.Results Average walk speed was 0.31-5.30 (1.36 ±0.88)m/s;DGI score was 5-24 (18.6 ±5.44) points;CMBS score was 0 -96 (54.1 ±25.3) points;CIQ subscale 6 -29 (16.2 ± 5.1)points,CIQ family subscale was 0-10 (4.8 ±3.0)points;CIQ society subscale was 4-12(8.2 ±2.1)points;CIQ productivity subscale was 0-7(3.8 ±2.2).The correlation between age and Ten-Meter Walk Test was nega-tive significantly (r=-0.50,P<0.05).All 3 balance/gait measures correlated significantly with the CIQ Productiv-ity subscale (r=0.35-0.58,P<0.05).Conclusion The ability of people with brain injury to engage in work/school/volunteer activity may be reduced by impairments in balance and mobility.

Objective To determine the monokine levels of serum and synovial fluid (SF) in patients with JSpAs and estimate the correlation between monokines and inflammatory indices.Methods Serum and SF monokines (IL 1?,IL 1?,IL 6,IL 8,IL 12 and TNF ?) were measured by sandwich ELISA in patients with JSpAs ( n =28) and healthy controls ( n =10).The correlation between serum monokines and inflammatory indeces and between both serum and SF monokine levels was analysed.Results Elevated serum level of IL 6 was found in patients with JSpAs as compared to healthy controls ( P

The anatomy of the trunks and branches of anterior inferior cerebellar artery(AICA) was studied and its surgical importance especially in the operation for acoustic neuroma(AN), was discussed.15 fresh adult cadavers were perfused with ABS via internal carotid artery and vertebral artery and then dissected under operation microscope in detail. AICA was constantly present in all specimens. The incidence of labyrinthine artery(LA), recurrent perforating artery(RPA), subarcuate artery(SA),and cerebellar subarcuate artery (Cer.SA) was 100%,86.7%,80% and 16.7%, respectively. 97.1% of LA entering the internal auditory meatus (IAM) were located under the facial vestibulocochlear nerve complex, 56.7% of RPA passed between it ,and 75% of SA was located posteroinferiorly to it .60.7% of the loop of AICA was situated close to the IAM, and 53.6% of them lay between the Ⅶ and Ⅷ cranial nerves. These data may be helpful in microneurosurgical operation and radiography.

Objective To evaluate four tumor markers of insulin-like growth factor 1((IGF-1), CEA, cytokeratin fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1), neuron-specific enolase (NSE) for the diagnosis and prediction of treatment response in human lung cancer. Methods Serum samples were taken from three groups: 91 patients with lung cancer, 30 healthy adults and 15 patients with benign pulmonary diseases. Serum IGF-1 was assayed by radioimmunoassay and CEA, CYFRA21-1, and NSE by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. The differences among the three groups were determined by Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and with Mann-Whitney rank-sum test. Diagnostic efficacy was evaluated by ROC curves. Results The four serum tumor marker levels were significantly higher in lung cancer group, as compared with the benign and the healthy (IGF-1:χ2=26.95,P<0.001, CEA:χ2=49.11,P<0.001; CYFRA21-1:χ2=40.63,P<0.001; NSE:χ2=14.76;P<0.001). The diagnostic sensitivities of IGF-1, CEA, CYFRA21-1 and NSE was 75.6% (34/45), 53.3% (24/45), 66.7% (30/45) and 42.2% (19/45) respectively for lung cancer. The diagnostic sensitivity of IGF-1 combined with CYFRA21-1 was 95.5 %( 43/45) and that of IGF-1 combined with CEA and CYFRA21-1was 97.8%(44/45). Only IGF-1 and CYFRA21-1 showed significant changes before and after treatment (IGF-1: χ2=5.99,P=0.014; CYFRA21-1:χ2=4.99, P=0.025) in cancer group. Conclusions Serum IGF-1, CEA, CYFRA21-1 and NSE are all valuable for lung cancer diagnosis and the combination of those parameters can enhance the diagnostic efficiency. Serum IGF-1 and CYFRA21-1 may also be useful for evaluating the treatment response in lung cancer.

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is widely accepted as one of the most economical and sustainable processes to remove phosphorus from wastewater.Poor performance or complete failure of EBPR processes has been substantially reported because of the proliferation of glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs) in the system.This paper presented the GAOs' metabolic mechanism and the impact factors, such as influent substrate, P/C ratio, pH value, temperature and SRT, on competition between GAOs and PAOs to better understand GAOs' characteristics and improve the performance and reliability of EBPR systems.

Objective To analyze the substitutions at amino acid residues of neuraminidases ( NAs) in influenza B virus strains isolated in Jiangsu province from 2010 to 2012 and to further understand the genetic evolution of NAs in those influenza B virus strains .Methods Forty strains of influenza B virus isolated in Jiangsu province from 2010 to 2012 were screened out for this study .A two-step reverse transcrip-tion PCR ( RT-PCR) was performed to amply the gene fragments encoding the neuraminidases of influenza B virus strains.The PCR products were purified and then sequenced in an ABI 3730XL Genetic Analyzer.The evolutionary characteristics of NA gene were analyzed by using DNAStar , Bioedit, MEGA 5.0 and BEAST 1.8.0 softwares.Results The phylogenetic tree analysis of the NA genes showed that the NAs of 28 Vic-toria strains were derived from the Yamagata lineage .There were reassortments between the Victoria lineage-HA and theYamagata lineage-NA.Some of the strains added a glycosylation site at position 462.No substitu-tion was found in important enzyme active sites and neuraminidase inhibitor resistant sites .The Bayesian MCMC analysis showed that the estimated mean evolutionary rate for NA gene was 1.74×10-3(95%HPD:1.46×10-3-2.06×10-3) substitutions/site/year.The dN/dS ratio (ω), an indicator of selective pressure, was 0.24.Conclusion The important amino acid sites of NA were relatively conservative and the evolution -ary rate for NA gene was low .The dN/dS ratio was less than one , indicating that the NA gene was under pu-rifying selection .

Objective To explore the cause of acute myocardial ischemia early after coronary artery bapass graft (CABG) and surgical management on it. Methods From 2001 to 2009, 28 patients underwent urgent reoperation early after CABG due to acute myocardial ischemia. The incidence of reoperation is about 0.02%. The cause of reoperation inclouded early graft occlusion (10 cases) ,IMA damage or injury during harvesting(9 cases), inexactitude distal anastomosis(2 cases)and radial artery spasm(4 cases). The mean interval time between two operations was 8 hours. Reoperation was done under offpump bypass in 2 patients and on-bypass used in other patients. Unsatisfactoey graft were substituted with new graft material and thrombotic was removed. If LIMA was the reson for myocardial ischemia, an additional vein graft was inserted. The spasm radial artery were substituted with new vein graft. Completely revascularization was used in re-do CABG. Results Two patients died during reoperation. 8 patients was died between 1 day and 14 days after reoperation. IABP was used in 16 patients,which 2 patients received ECMO suppord and 2 patient received LVAD suppord at mean time. Conclusion There have very high mortality in acute myocardial ischemia early after CABG. The early diagnosis and correct surgical management can improve the rates of survival. The active prevent should be emphasized during the first CABG.

Objective To study the relationship between polymorphisms of E-selectin gene and ischemic stroke (IS) in Zhuang nationality of Guangxi province. Methods The G98T polymorphism in the exon 2 and the S128R polymorphism in the exon 4 of E-selectin gene were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis and DNA sequencing among 205 patients with IS of Zhuang nationality in Guangxi and 210 healthy controls. The serum level of E-selectin was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results IS group showed significantly higher serum levels of E-selectin than control group (P0.05). Conclusion E-selectin S128R polymorphism was associated with IS, and R allele may be a genetic risk factor of IS among Guangxi Zhuang natioalities, in whom the E-selectin SR genotype carriers maybe increase the risk of ischemic stroke by enhancing the E-selectin expression.
