68 NIH Mice (24-25g) were divided into three groups. Group A was normal control, group B was treated with 54% alcohol in the beverages 0.25ml/per day, and group C was administrated 54% alcohol mixed with folic acid 0.25ml/per day. The histochemical reaction and ultrastructural changes in liver were observed. The reaction of glycogen (PAS reaction), Mg-ATPase SDH LDH G-6-Pasc and ACP was demonstrated respectively by Chayen's, Wachstein-Meisel, Lojda, Bancroft's method, and some procedures of these techniques were modified. The results showed that under the protection effect of acid folic, the regularities seemed to be present in the changes of the following histochemical reactions in the liver cells of the group C (treaded by acid folic) the PAS reaction and the activities of Mg-ATPase SDH LDH G-6-Pase were similar to the group A and apparently higher than that in group B. The activities of ACP were lower those in group B(P

The protective effect of vitamin E and the change in activity of enzymes at hepatic injury by carbon tetrachloride(CCl_4) were studied with histochcmical methods. 60 rats were devided into three groups(A,B,C). The group A was untreated control; the animals of group B and C were injected(i. m.) with 0.9% NaCl 1 ml/100g or vitamin E 1 ml/100g body weight qd for 7 days respectively and then treated with 30% CCl_4 0.05ml/l00g by adding to the solution of NaCl or vitamin E from 8th to 14th days. On the 15th day, rats were sacrificed for histochemical study of the liver parenchyma. The results showed that the activity of SDH, G-6-Pase, ATPase, 5-NT or AcP in liver lobules of groups B and C animals were changed conspicuously after treatment with CCl_4. The quantitative histochemistry of SDH and G-6-Pase was also consistent with these results. The activity of SDH, G-6-Pase, ATPase and 5-NT were inhibited, but of AcP was elevated. As compared with those in the rats of group A, the changes however in group B appeared more obviously than those in group C. The results indicated that CCl_4 of the given dose induced acute damage in liver cells, while vitamin E had important protective effect against acute liver damag induced by CCl_4.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the clinical effect of blood flow restriction training on rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction to provide a reference for clinical practice. METHODS:Databases including CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,Web of Science and EBSCO were searched to collect randomized controlled trials of blood flow restriction training in the intervention of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction from inception to August 10,2022.Outcomes included knee muscle strength,knee muscle mass,and knee function evaluation,all of which were continuous variables.Two reviewers independently screened the literature and extracted data.Cochrane bias risk assessment tool and Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale were used to evaluate the bias risk of the included articles.Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS:A total of 9 publications were included,including 226 subjects,114 in the trial group and 112 in the control group.Meta-analysis results showed that compared with conventional resistance training,the blood flow restriction training group could significantly improve knee muscle strength[SMD=0.54,95%CI(0.29,0.79),P<0.01],muscle mass[SMD=0.26,95%CI(0.06,0.46),P=0.01]and knee joint function[SMD=1.17,95%CI(0.53,1.80),P<0.01].Subgroup analysis showed that only when the intervention time was more than 4 weeks,there were significant improvements in knee joint muscle strength[SMD=0.68,95%CI(0.38,0.97),P<0.01]and muscle mass[SMD=0.38,95%CI(0.09,0.68),P=0.01]. CONCLUSION:Current evidence shows that blood flow restriction training can improve muscle strength and knee function in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and reduce muscle atrophy.It is recommended that the postoperative intervention time should be more than 4 weeks to achieve better muscle strength and muscle mass improvement.

ObjectiveWe examined the principal respiratory pathogens in patients with acute respiratory tract infection in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province during 2020‒2021 to provide evidence for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute respiratory tract infection. MethodsFrom September 2020 to August 2021, a total of 2 831 cases with acute respiratory tract infection were collected from two influenza sentinel surveillance hospitals in Taizhou, which had then received the examination of 22 respiratory pathogens by multiple fluorescence quantitative PCR. ResultsThe total positive rate of respiratory pathogens in 2 831 samples was 14.13%, among which enterovirus (7.77%) and respiratory syncytial virus (1.59%) were the principal pathogens. Except enterovirus, there was no significant difference in the positive rate of pathogens detected by gender(P>0.05). Moreover, there was significant difference in pathogens by age (P<0.05), with the highest positive rate in 0‒4 years(35.21%). There was also significant difference in pathogens by seasons (P<0.05), with the highest positive rate in summer(20.54%). ConclusionThe positive rate of acute respiratory tract infection decreases significantly, compared with that before the COVID-19 epidemic. The differences in the positive rate differ significantly by age and seasons. Comprehensive consideration of diverse factors before diagnosis and the utilization of multiple fluorescent quantitative PCR can quickly and effectively determine the pathogens in the early stage of infection. Our findings may provide certain support for the diagnosis and treatment of acute respiratory infections in the context of COVID-19 in Taizhou.

Objective To analyze the differences of von Mises stress distribution in knee cartilage and meniscus in female with generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) and healthy female during drop jump landing. Methods The kinematic and ground reaction force (GRF) characteristics of knee joint in female with GJH and healthy female at the moment of peak vertical GRF (VGRF) during loading phase of drop jump landing were collected. The knee joint reaction force was calculated via inverse dynamics, and the combined force of knee joint along long axis of the femur was applied as the load. Based on three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of a female knee joint, numerical simulations were performed separately during drop jump landing of subjects in two groups, and von Mises stresses and stress distribution of knee cartilage and meniscus were calculated. Results At the moment of peak VGRF during drop jump landing, knee flexion and valgus angles in GJH group and control group showed a statistical significance (P<0. 05). Compared with control group, knee flexion angle decreased and valgus angle increased in GJH group. During drop jump landing, GJH group bore larger stress inside the knee joint, and stress distribution in weight-bearing areas of the medial and lateral tibiofemoral compartments was uneven, while the lateral femoral cartilage lateral condyle, the anterior and middle lateral of lateral tibial cartilage, the anterior angle and body lateral margin of lateral meniscus were stress concentration sites. Conclusions For females with GJH, the stability of knee joint decreases and force lines change in jumping events, due to the increased range of motion of knee joint and relaxation of joint capsule, which increases the risk of cartilage and meniscal injury in lateral knee joint. During jumping sports, females with GJH should especially prevent knee joint injury caused by altered force lines in frontal plane of knee joint.
