Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2008;14(6):560-561
Objective To investigate the effects of balance training on balance function and walking ability of hemiplegic patients.Methods 42 hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into the balance training group and control group with 21 cases in each group. All patients of two groups were given conventional rehabilitation therapy. Patients in the balance training group were mainly trained for balance function. The balance function and walking ability were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Balance Test and Holden Walking Classification before and after training.Results There was no significant difference between two groups before training ( P>0.05). After training, the balance scores were significantly improved in the balance training group compared with control group ( P<0.05). All patients could not walk independently before training. After training, 71% patients in the balance training group (control group was 51%) could walk independently, and there was significant difference between two groups ( P<0.05).Conclusion Balance training has important effect to improve balance function and walking ability of patients with hemiplegia.

Perinatal transmission of Human immunodeficiency virus(HIV),also called mother-to-child transmission(MTCT),accounts for 90% of infections in infants worldwide and occurs in 30%-45% of children born to untreated HIV-1 infected mothers.Among HIV-1 infected mothers,some viruses are transmitted from mothers to their infants while others are not.The relationship between virologic properties and the pathogenesis caused by HIV-1 remains unclear.Previous studies have demonstrated that one obvious source of selective pressure in the perinatal transmission of HIV-1 is maternal neutralizing antibodies.Recent studies have shown that viruses which are successfully transmitted to the child have growth advantages over those not transmitted,when those two viruses are grown together.Furthermore,the higher fitness is determined by the gp120 protein of the virus envelope.This suggests that the selective transmission of viruses with higher fitness occurred exclusively,regardless of transmission routes.There are many factors contributing to the selective transmission and HIV replicative fitness is an important one that should not be neglected.This review summarizes current knowledge of the role of HIV replicative fitness in HIV MTCT transmission and the determinants of viral fitness upon MTCT.

The ubiquitin-like modifier bISG15 is an antiviral protein found in fetal bovine lung (FBL) cells.Bovine Herpesvirus 1(BHV-1),which is a viral pathogen of cattle,can infect FBL cells and induce cytopathic effects.Real-time PCR assays showed that BHV- 1 's infection could repress the basal or inducible transcription of bISG15 in FBL cells.It demonstrates that this repression effect depends on BHV-1 viral infection and new protein synthesis.Our previous work showed that bIRF-3 was the key factor in the stimulation of bISG 15 in FBL cells,so the effect of BHV-1 viral protein on bIRF-3 activating the promoter of bISG15 was confirmed.The luciferase assay showed the BHV-1 viral protein bICP0 inhibited the activation of bISG15 promoter stimulated by bIRF-3.Taken together,our work suggested that BHV-I had some molecular mechanism to resist the cellular bISG15'santiviral functions.

Objective To describe the clinical and imaging manifestations of patients with synovitis acne pustulosis hyperostosis osteomyelitis (SAPHO) syndrome,and to analyze the diagnostic importance of different clinical and imaging manifestations for SAPHO syndrome. Methods Seventeen patients (7 males and 10 females) with SAPHO syndrome were recruited in this study.Age ranged from 36 to 67 years with a mean age of (48 ± 8) years. All patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of Benhamou. Serum HLA B27 antigen records were reviewed for all patients. Imaging data of the abnormal bone sites were collected by conventional radiograph in all patients,CT in 13 patients as well as MR in 3 patients.Average time to take for a definite diagnosis of the syndrome was 3.7 years (ranged from O.5 to 13 years).Results Serum HLA B27 antigen was positive in all patients. Both skin and bone abnornalities were found in all patients.Ten patients had skin palmoplantar pustulosis and two patients had acne. Involving sites of bone and joints include sacroiliac joints,anterior chest and limbs.Sacroiliac joints were asymmetrically involved with imaging features in all patients.Eight patients exhibited anterior chest wall involvement. Five patients had osteomyelitis at limbs. For all images of 17 patients,CT was superior to conventional radiography in detecting abnormal changes of bone erosion and soft tissue swelling.MR imaging was able to depict edema changes that was not detectable by CT and radiography.Conclusion SAPHO syndrome is a rare disease,but for patients with skin and bone-joint abnormalities,especially with skin palmoplantar pustulosis,acne as well as with imaging features at the sacroiliac joint and anterior chest wall,SAPHO syndrome should be taken into a diagnostic consideration.
