The purpose of this study was to research the characteristic of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in erythrocy-tes of sprinters and middle-distance runners. Resting content and activity of SOD in erythrocytes were studi-ed in 8 untrained men, 8 sprinters and 8 middle-distance runners (male). SOD content, as well as SODactivity, in athletes was significantly greater than it in untrained men. It suggested: the exercise trainingwhich glycogen breakdown provided the majority of the non-oxidative energy could elevate the level of SODin erythrocytes. The VO_2 max and AT, and SOD content and activity in erythrocytes from 12 athletes (4sprinters and 8 middle-distance runners) were studied. There was no significant correlation between both VO_2max and AT and SOD level. To also observe the change of SOD in erythrocytes after a bout of exercise.The content and activity of SOD did not change significantly after 12 athletes exercised to VO_2max on acycle ergometer. Similarly, they did not change significantly during 14 hours of recovery from 5000-metrerace. These athletes had trained regularly several years and SOD level in erythrocytes of them had increased,which had been sufficient to remove and cope with increaced O_2 during the exercise. It might be one ofthe causes that SOD in erythrocytes did not change significantly after a bout of exercise.

This is a prospective study on early discovery and diagnosis to cerebral palsy(CP).Fivehundred and forty cases with high risk neonates who were born from July 1. 1993 to December 31. 1994 infour districts in Beijing were monitored for one year.Eight cases were diagnosed for CP from 38 suspiciouscases by examining specific primitive reflex. nerve reflex.muscular tension. early symptoms and CT orMRI.etc. The study indicates that it is very important for decreasing CP incidence to strengthen healthmeasures in perinatal period and to avoid premature infant birth.

Heart rate is the most common index to directly monitor the level of physical stress by comparing the subject's heart rate with an appropriate "target heart rate" during exercise. However, heart rate only reveals the cardiac rhythm of the complex cardiovascular changes that take place during exercise. It is essential to get the dynamic response of the heart to exercise with various indices instead of only one single measurement. Based on the rest-workload alternating pattern, this paper screens the sensitive indices of exercise load from electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythm and waveform, including 4 time domain indices and 4 frequency domain indices of heart rate variability (HRV), 3 indices of waveform similarity and 2 indices of high frequency noise. In conclusion, RR interval (heart rate) is a reliable index for the realtime monitoring of exercise intensity, which has strong linear correlation with load intensity. The ECG waveform similarity and HRV indices are useful for the evaluation of exercise load.

Objective To investigate the appropriate low tube current of abdominal CT on a 64-slice spiral CT. Methods (1) Phantom study:The phantom Catphan500R was scanned with a fixed 120 kVp,and 450,400,380,360,340,320,300,280 mA, respectively. 15, 9, 8, 7, 6 mm diameter low-contrast objects with 1% contrast were scanned for evaluating image quality. CT images were graded in terms of lowcontrast conspicuity by using a five-point scale. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the appropriate tube current and the interval leading to the qualitative change. (2) Clinical study: 3 groups of 45 patients who had 2 examinations of non-enhanced abdominal CT within 3 months were enrolled. All patients were scanned with 450 mA at first scanning. For the second scanning, group-1 was scanned with optimal tube current, group-2 was scanned with optimal tube current plus interval, group-3 was scanned with optimal tube current sinus interval. CT images were graded in terms of the diagnostic acceptability at three anatomic levels including porta hepatis, pancreas and the upper pole kidney, and the image noises of eight organs including abdominal aorta, portal vein, liver, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, renal cortex, renal medulla were graded by using a five-point scale. The image quality was compared with non-parametric rank sum test,and the individual factors of the patients were compared with the A VONA. Results (1) The optimal tube current and interval leading to the qualitative change were 340 mA and 40 mA respectively. (2) There were no significant differences in image quality between 340 mA and 450 mA in group-1, between 380 mA and 450 mA in group-2 (P ＞ 0. 05). There was significant difference in image quality between 300 mA and 450 mA in group-3 (the mean scores for 300 mA were 2. 92 ± 0. 62,2.92 ± 0. 62,2.64 ± 0. 84,2. 72 ±0.82,2.63 ±0.71,2.51 ±0.84,3.04 ±0.72,3.04 ±0.72,2.63 ±0.71,2.52 ±0.73,2.93 ±0.81respectively; for 450 mA were 3.93 ± 0. 72,3.94 ± 0. 72,3.41 ± 0. 64,3.43 ± 0. 61,3.62 ± 0. 93,3.63 ±0.71,3.93 ±0.81,3.93 ±0.81,3.43 ±0.61,3.52 ±0.92,3.84 ±0.82 respectively) (Z = -2.449 to - 2. 236, P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion Radiation dose can be effectively reduced by using an appropriate and lower current of 340 mA.

BACKGROUND:Spermatogonial stem cells are a kind of adult stem cells, which have self-renewal and differentiation potential, and can be differentiated into specific cells in vitro, suggesting that the spermatogonial stem cells may be possibly differentiated into osteoblasts. But the related research has not been reported. OBJECTIVE:To observe the biological characterization and osteogenic process of mouse spermatogonial stem cells cultured in vitro. METHODS:Spermatogonial stem cells were obtained from the testicle of mice aged 15-20 days, and were cultured on the feeder layer from bone marrow stroma cells in vitro. When cultured for 3 days, the cells were cultured in the conditioned medium (experimental group) and basic medium (control group). The cells proliferation capability and osteogenic property were examined by phase-contrast microscope, alkaline phosphatase activity and type I col agen immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Spermatogonial stem cells proliferated faster in the experiment group than in the control group. cells grew rapidly in colony-like shape in the conditioned medium at 3-6 days, the three-dimensional feeling enhanced, cellmass and clusters continued to increase in size, the extracellular matrix was increased in number and the cytoplasmic bridge was not obvious. After culture for 15 days, cells in the two groups were positive for alkaline phosphatase staining that the cytoplasmic membrane was dyed black. Under the fluorescent microscope, green fluorescence was visible in the experimental group, suggesting the cells in the experimental group was positive for type I col agen, but negative in the control group, which is similar with the biological characteristics of osteoblasts. These findings indicate that spermatogonial stem cells possess the osteogenic capability under induction conditions, which are expected to provide seed cells for bone tissue engineering.
