Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2007;13(10):915-916
Objective To investigate the changes of cardiopulmonary function of patients with spinal cord injury(SCI) in different lesion levels in exercies testing.Methods 15 SCI patients were divided into the high SCI level group(n=8) and low SCI level group(n=7),and all cases exercised on treadmill.The cardiorespiratory indexes of all patients were tested.Results The cardiopulmonary function of the low SCI level group were better than the high SCI level group(P<0.05~0.01).Conclusion The higher the lesion level is,the weaker the cardiopulmonary function is.

Objective To assess the value of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) in predicting myocardial viability by comparing with single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT).Methods Taking improvement of ventricular wall motion as a standard,fifteen patients undergone percutaneous coronary artery intervention(PCI) were detected by DSE and SPECT respectively,comparing their accuracy in predicting myocardial viability.Results By DSE, difference of the sensitivity and negative forecasting value was remarkable between peak dose stage and low dose stage,comparing with DSE,SPECT had the highest sensitivity and the lowest distinctivity.Conclusions The two techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages in predicting myocardial viability,but DSE is more practical.

Objective To study the clinical application s of intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography (IMCE) in assessing myocardial reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using intravenously infused Levovist. Methods IMCE was performed in 13 AMI patients before and after thrombolytic therapy. The power Doppler signals of the myocardial segments were analyzed and the time-amplitude curves were plotted during Levovist infusion and incremental triggering. The maximal amplitude score (A), the mean ascending slope of the curve(?) and the product of A?? were measured. All patients were followed up for 3 months. And then IMCE indices were estimated for left ventricular function. Results There was a significant increase in A,? and A?? between before and after thrombolysis(P

County hospitals occupy an important place in the delivery of community health service as they are the center of technological guidance, the base for training in general medicine, and a coordinator of and participant in the community health service of the county seats. To do a good job of community health service, county hospitals ought to make efforts in the following aspects: restructuring of human resources, cooperation between various community health institutions, diversified training programs for personnel engaged in community health service and doctors at the grass-roots level, transformation of ideological concepts, and updating of knowledge and skills.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of acute myocardial infarction(AMI)treated with transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).Methods Fifty female Wistar rats were randomly divided into the transplant group and control group with 25 animals in each group.The AMI animal model was made by liquid nitrogen freezing.Rat MSCs cultured and induced repeatedly was prepared for transplantation and injected into the infarcted parts of the transplant group.The same volume of DMEM solution was injected into the infarcted parts of the control group.Echocardiography was applied one day preoperation,and one week and four weeks postoperation to evaluate cardiac function.The animals of the transplanted group were executed in the fourth week after operation and the tissues of transplant part were examined by BrdU immunofluorescent stain.Results Some transplant cells expressed the cardiac-specific proteins,α-actin and troponin T.The cardiac function of the transplant group had better than that of the control group(P>0.05)in the fourth week postoperation.The BrdU-labeled cells were found in the histological sections of the transplant parts.Conclusion Rat MSCs cultured generation by generation and repeatedly induced by 5-aza in vitro can differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells,which if transplanted into the rat infarcted cardiac muscles will survive and help to improve the host's cardiac function.

Objective To investigate spatial memory ability of intraperitoneal injection of resveratrol in a mice model of chronic constriction injury of sciatic nerve(CCI).Methods Forty-four C57BL/6 mice were divided randomly into 4 groups:sham group (n=14),CCI group (n=14),resveratrol pre-treatment group (i.p.resveratrol 100 mg/kg 30 minutes before CCI model,n=8) and resveratrol post-treatment group (i.p.resveratrol 100 mg/kg 14 days after CCI model,n =8).CCI group,resveratrol pre-treatment group and resveratrol post-treatment group were operated with the model of neuropathic pain induced by chronic constriction injury of sciatic nerve.In shamoperated controls,an identical surgical procedure was performed,except that the sciatic nerve was not ligated.This was accomplished by using intellicage for mice by newbehavior to record their spatial memory after surgery.Results (l) Resveratrol pre-treatment group showed improved spatial memory ability compared with sham group and CCI group during day 17-21 (17 d:(55.80±7.66) %,(51.20±7.94) % ; 18 d:(60.20±3.89) %,(49.80±8.61) % ; 19 d:(62.20±7.25) %,(51.20±6.83) % ;20 d:(63.00±9.69) %,(48.40±8.84) % ;21 d:(56.80±7.52) %,(47.20±4.54) %)(P<0.05),compared with CCI group.(2)From day 26,the spatial memory damage was observed in mice with CCI (26 d:(37.50±5.50)%,(51.80±9.01)%;27 d:(37.25±4.19)%,(51.20±5.76)%;28 d:(42.25± 3.50) %,(52.80± 7.52) %) (P< 0.05),compared with sham group.And this damage could be reversed by resveratrol,which was injected when the chronic pain was stable (26 d (46.60± 5.27) %,27 d (54.00± 7.31) %,28 d (52.60±4.39)%),compared with CCI group(P<0.05).Conclusion Chronic constriction injury of sciatic nerve mice due to spatial memory impairment can be improved by resveratrol.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in the treatment of the unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods According to the inclusion criteria,33 patients with the unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma were given sorafenib (400 mg for twice per day).During the course of treatment,dose was adjusted based on the degree of the adverse effects.Tumor response to sorafenib and safety was assessed every 6-8 weeks using the modified RECIST criteria.The survial curve for the time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) were estimated.Results In this series,there was no patients achieved complete response (CR) and partial response (PR),1 1 patients were evaluated as with stable disease(SD),22 patients were with progressive disease (PD).The median TTP was 5.6 months (2.3-8.9 months).The median TTP was longer in patients with BCLC B than BCLC C stage.TTP was longer in good than in poor performance status patients,and shorter in extrahepatic metastasis than in no extrahepatic metastasis patients.The overall incidence of adverse events was 75.8%.The most common adverse events were hand foot skin reaction,diarrhea,hypertension and rash.Three patients had grade 3 adverse events.Conclusions Sorafenib can extend the median time to progression in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.Patients with earlier stage of HCC and better performance status are hopeful for more positive response to the treatment of sorafenib.
