Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2013;(3):190-192
Objective To observe any therapeutic effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on bone loss in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients.Methods Fifty-five patients with SCI were divided into two groups randomly.The twenty-six patients in the control group (group B) were given only routine rehabilitation treatment; the twenty-six patients in the treatment group (group A) received PEMF therapy in addition.Results After 12 weeks of treatment,the average bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur (including total,neck,Wards,inter,troch) in group A was significantly higher than in group B.The levels of bone-gamma-carboxyglutamic acid containing protein (BGP) and 1,25 (OH)2D3 in group A increased significantly,while they decreased in group B.Urine-pyridinium/crealinine (U-Pyd/Cr) levels in group A decreased significantly,while in group B they were higher than before.There were statistically significant differences between the two groups.Conclusion PEMF treatment can effectively retard bone loss in SCI patients.It has good preventive and curative effects on osteoporosis after SCI.

Fermentation inhibitors are toxic to cells, which is one of the bottlenecks for lignocellulose bio-refinery process. How to remove those inhibitors serves a key role in the bioconversion of lignocellulose. This article reviews the sources and the types of the inhibitors, especially the updated removal strategies including physical methods, chemical methods, biological methods and inhibitor-tolerant strain construction strategies. Based on these, we introduce a new bio-refinery model named "fractional conversion", which reduces the production of inhibitors at pretreatment stage, and a novel in situ detoxification method named "fermentation promoter exploitation technology". This review could provide new research ideas on the removal of fermentation inhibitors.

Objective To investigate the allele polymorphism and characteristic of HPA-1-17 genotyping of Li ethnic on Hainan island,and to evaluate the HPA mismatched ratio between donor and recipient in randomly chosen cases of blood transfusion,in order to investigate the platelet transfusion refractoriness in Li population.Methods Genotyping tests of A-1—17 allele of the blood sample from 180 Lis were conducted with PCR-SSP.Results A total of 180 blood samples were genotyped successfully in HPA genetic system,among which 0.9972 were HPA-2a,0.0028 were HPA-2b,0.4889 were HPA-3a,0.5111 were HPA-3b,0.9667 were HPA-5a,0.0333were HPA-5b,0.9972 were HPA-6a,00028 were HPA-6b,0.4250 were HPA-15a,0.05750 were HPA-15b,and they all showed polymorphism. But polymorphism was not detected out in other allelic genes,such as HPA-1,-4,-7—14,-16,and -17. The bb homozygous were detected in two alleles,among which 0.2834 was HPA-3 and 0.3667 was HPA-15,but it wasn't detected in the others systems. In the randomly chosen cases of blood transfusion,the mismatch rate of HPA-3 ,HPA-15 and HPA-5 was 37.49%,36.93% and 6.23%,respectively.Conclusion This research revealed the distribution of HPA gene in Li population on Hainan island,and found the allelic frequency and thier characteristics. According to our findings,HPA-2,HPA-3,HPA-5 and HPA-15 genes between donor and recipient should be matched in order to avoid platelet transfusion refractoriness.
