Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture at Huatuo jiaji points plus virtual balancing game on balance function in stroke patients.Methods Fifty patients with poststroke balance dysfunction were randomly allocated: 25 cases to the treatment group and 25 cases to the control groups. The treatment group received acupuncture at Huatuo jiaji points plus virtual balancing game-based rehabilitation training and the control group, virtual balancing game-based rehabilitation training alone. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) score, the COP offset distance indices (EO2, EC2, EOTS and EO1) and the modified Barthel Index (MBI) score were recorded in the two groups before and after treatment.Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the BBS score, the TUGT score, the COP offset distance indices and the MBI score in the two groups of patients (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the BBS score, the TUGT score, the COP offset distance indices and the MBI score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture at Huatuo jiaji points plus virtual balancing game is an effective way to treat poststroke balance dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the stabilization of betaine on the enzyme activity of ALT in human serum at different temperatures, and to evaluate the matrix effects of human serum with betaine among different analytical systems. Methods The enzyme activity of ALT in human serums with l mol/L betaine stored at 37 ℃, 25 ℃, 4 ℃ and - 20 ℃ respectively were measured. The matrix effect experiment was carried out according to the procedures specified in Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)document EP14-A. Four analytical systems were the candidates for evaluation, and Roche Diagnostics (Roche)-Hitachi analytical system served as the reference system. The enzyme activity of ALT of 40 patient specimens and 3-level specimens ( high, medium and low) with 1 mol/L betaine were measured using the evaluated methods and the reference method respectively. The linear regression analysis was performed to compare the mean y value of 3-level specimens with the statistically defined limits ( the two-tailed 95% prediction interval) derived from 40 patient specimen data. Results The enzyme activity of ALT could be stabilized with betaine in serum, which remained to be 99% for 48 h at 37 ℃, 98% for4 d at 25 ℃, 97%for 4 weeks at 4 ℃, and 99% for 4 months at - 20 ℃. The enzyme activity of control serum decreased to 42%, 86%, 71%, 79% respectively. The mean y values of three specimens with the betaine were within the 95% prediction interval of the estimated mean y values, which suggested no obvious matrix effects in serum. Conclusion Betaine can be used in the development of enzyme ALT calibrator as its stabilizer.

To study and optimize the fermentation parameters for expressing human-like collagenⅡduring E. coli high-density fermentation. The effects of pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen and induction instant on the cell growth and human-like collagenⅡproduction were investigated to optimize the fermentation conditions. The results demonstrated that the following conditions were beneficial for cell growth and foreign gene expression, controlling pH in phase induction at 6.8 and initial pH at 6.5, maintaining fermentation temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration was controlled at 34?C and 20% respectively, and implementing induction at the later logarithmic growth phase. Under the optimized condition, the cell density and human-like collagenⅡyield could reach 88.4 g/L and 14.2 g/L, respectively.

This research adopted silt as the sample,and the five highest hydrogen production performing strains contained in the sample were isolated. The strain whose hydrogen production was the highest was identified as Enterobacter cloacae by the analysis of 16S rDNA sequencing and comparison. It is showed by Plackett-Burman Experimental Design that only glucose,citric buffer and reducing agent had significant effects on hydrogen production by Enterobacter cloacae FML-C1. The path of steepest ascent was undertaken to approach the optimal response region of those three factors. Central Composite Design(CCD) and Response Surface Methodology(RSM) were employed to investigate the interaction of the variables and to ascertain the optimal values of the factors,which finally led to the maximum hydrogen production(VH2) . The theoretical optimal medium conditions were:glucose 21.5 g/L,citric buffer 13.6 mL/L,reducing agent10.0 mL/L. The five tentative tests matched this model well. The final VH2 was up to 2347.4 mL/L,which was 127.42% enhanced in comparison to the original. The result shows that PB experiment design and RSM analytical method work well in selecting factors which have significant influences on the hydrogen production and,moreover,achieve the ideal optimal result.

Objective To explore the significance of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H- MRS)in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS).Methods Single-voxel1 H-MRS was carried on the preeentral gyri in 110 patients with ALS and 24 patients with lower motor neuron syndrome (LMNS) compared with 89 healthy controls.The upper motor neuron involvement of the patients was assessed by upper motor neuron(UMN)signs and the reflex scale,and the disease severity was evaluated by the AIJS function rating scale(ALS-FRS)and APPEL ALS rate scale(AARS).Results Compared with the healthy controls(1.62±0.18),the NAA/Cr of patients with ALS(1.40±0.25)remarkably decreased (t= -5.007,P=0.000),however,it did not change in patients with LMNS(1.60±0.17)as compared with that of the controls.The NAA/Cr of patients with ALS was also lower than that of patients with LMNS(t= -2.660,P=0.009).Furthermore,the NAA/Cr of patients with definite ALS was lower than those of patients with probable and possible ALS(definite vs probable:t=-2.626,P=0.010;definite vs possible: t=-2.537,P=0.013).On the other hand,patients with pronounced UMN signs had a lower NAA/Cr ratio than those with probable UMN signs(t=-2.827,P=0.006).In patients with asymmetric clinical presentation,the NAA/Cr ratio was significantly lower in the precentral gyrus contralateral to the clinically predominantly affected side(t=-2.652,P=0.011).The NAA/Cr was correlated with the reflex scale scores,ALS-FRS score,and AARS and its sub-items(P＜0.05). Conclusions 1H-MRS is useful in studying ALS.The marker NAA/Cr of precentral gyrus may reflect the UMN degeneration in ALS,which is related to the disease severity and progression.However,it might not be helpful in the early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the disease.

Objective To evaluate the utility of short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequence in the diagnosis of hippocampal sclerosis ( HS).Methods Twenty-one patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy without neoplasm lesions or injuries by conventional MRI sequence including T1WI,T2WI and FLAIR were included in this study.STIR imaging in axial,coronal and sagittal sequences was performed on these patients. Diagnosis of HS was based on the findings of hippocampal atrophy,alteration signal,disturbed internal structure and enlargement of the inferior horn. The findings shown on conventional MRI were compared with those on STIR sequence. Furthermore,the correlation of radiologic and histological findings was investigated in 6 patients operated for refractory seizures. Results On conventional MRI sequence,14 patients (66.7％) were confirmed with unilateral HS and 4 patients were suspected with unilateral HS. In contrast,all these 18 patients (85.7％) were confirmed with unilateral HS by STIR.Particularly,STIR sequence delineated the internal structure of hippocampus more clearly than conventional MRI sequences did. C shaped contour in subiculum-CA1-CA2 was revealed in normal hippocampus on STIR sequence and disappeared in HS,correlated to the pathology finding of loss of neuron in CA1 in resected tissues in 6 operated patients.The patients with HS also showed areas of hypodensity in CA4 on STIR,in accordance with pathologic findings of gliosis in this area in the 6 operated patients.Conclusion STIR sequence could depict the internal anatomical structure of hippocampus with high resolution superior to conventional MRI sequences,and can be of great value in the diagnosis of HS.

Objective To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided serratus plane (SP) block on efficacy of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing radical mastectomy.Methods From February 2012 to October 2016,sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients scheduled for radical mastectomy under general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups (n =30 each):SP block group (observation group) and control group.After induction of anesthesia,ultrasoundguided homolateral SP block was performed,and 0.375％ ropivacaine 20 ml was injected in observation group,while the equal volume of normal saline was used instead in control group.The patients received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with sufentanil after operation in the two groups.The scores of prince henry pain scale (PHPS) were evaluated at 2,4,8,12 and 24 hours (T1,T2,T3,T4,T5) after operation.The consumption of sufentanil,propofol and remifentanil were recorded,meantime the times of successfully delivered doses (D1) and attempts (D2) within 24 h after operation were added up,calculating D1/D2.The adverse effects were also recorded.Results The scores of PHPS at T1 [(1.4 ± 0.6) scores vs (3.1 ±0.7) scores],T2 [(1.5 ±0.7) scores vs (2.9 ±0.9) scores],T3 [(1.7 ±0.6) scores vs (2.8±0.8) scores],and the consumption of sufentanil [(53.4 ± 16.8) μg vs (87.8 ±24.6) μg],remifentanil [(288.7 ±42.2) μg vs (376.5 ±61.7) μg] were significantly lower in observation group than in control group,while D1/D2 (0.89 ±0.13 vs 0.57 ±0.19) was higher (P ＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the observation group (0 vs 23.3 ％) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Ultrasound-guided SP block reduces the consumption of perioperative opioids and enhances the efficacy of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing radical mastectomy.

Objective: To explore the effect of nutritional support based on clinical nursing pathway on nutritional status and quality of life among elderly inpatients with Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods: A total of 101 elderly inpatients with AD who met the criteria of the protocol were consecutively enrolled and randomly divided to study group receiving nutritional support based on clinical nursing pathway for two months (n=51) and control group receiving routine nutritional management for 2 months (n=50). Nutritional risk and quality of life were measured by nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease Scale (QOL-AD) respectively before and after nutritional support. Results: Baseline data were comparable between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 2-month nutritional support, compared to the control, the incidence of nutritional risk (36.0% vs 17.6%, P=0.037) and undernutrition (26.0% vs 9.8%, P=0.033) decreased significantly in study group. The score of quality of life in study group were significant higher than that of control group (35.73±5.85 vs 30.76±6.14, P=0.023). Conclusion The nutritional support based on clinical nursing pathway is helpful to improve the nutritional status and quality of life in elderly hospitalized patients with AD.
