This paper discussed the application of upper extremity rehabilitation devices in rehabilitation evaluation after stroke, focused on some typical kinds of upper extremity rehabilitation systems. It was analyzed that the way to obtain multiple parameter and evaluation indices during the progress of upper extremity rehabilitation evaluation, and viewed the development and application of upper extremity rehabilitation evaluation technology.

It is very difficult for stroke patients to complete the action of squatting-standing because their equilibrium function ability has been seriously declined. It was necessary, therefore, to do a deep research on the action of human squatting-standing and to set up an accurate model and simulation. In our modeling research, the movements of upper limbs and head was neglected, and a seven-segment model was developed to establish the coordinate system of human squatting-standing action. It calculated the knee joint moment and hip joint moment during squatting and standing by utilizing Lagrange method, and then simulated this mathematical model by utilizing Matlab. Geometric model of human squatting-standing was developed and simulated in ADAMS which proved that the established Lagrange model was reasonable. It would also provide significant theoretical references for further study and development of squatting-standing rehabilitation training equipment.

Objective To observe the effect of mPFC neuron synaptic plasticity changes in the formation of morphine related reward memory.Methods 40 SD rats were administered morphine (10 mg/kg,ip) or saline (2 ml/kg,ip)and sacrificed 0,2,4 and 8 h after the treatment.The temporal profile of activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc/Arg 3.1) expression in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was analyzed.Another 40 rats receiving a single injection of morphine at different doses (0,5,10 or 20 mg/kg),and rats were sacrificed by decapitation 2 h later.In mPFC,changes of Arc/Arg 3.1 protein was analyzed by Western Blot,Arc/Arg 3.1 positive cells was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC),and number of spines were analyzed by Golgi-cox method.In the second experiment,CPP model was established by 5 mg/kg morphine for 8 days.Arc/Arg 3.1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (AS) or the control (CS) was microinjected into mPFC 15 minutes before each morphine injection,then CPP score was evaluated.Results Compared with saline groups,Arc/Arg 3.1 protein,Arc/Arg 3.1 positive cells,number of spines ((1.01±0.04) vs (1.58±0.18),P＜0.01 ; (42.80±7.63) vs (74.47±8.02),P＜0.01 ;(17.27±5.64) vs (39.47±7.56),P＜0.01) were significantly increased 2 hours after morphine administration.All three doses of morphine (5,10 and 20 mg/kg) increased Arc/Arg 3.1 protein expression in the mPFC,and there were no dose-dependent effects.In CPP experiments,compared with microinjection of Arc/Arg 3.1 CS (0.74±0.02),Arc/Arg 3.1 AS microinjection significantly decreased the CPP score (0.51±0.01) in morphine group (P＜0.01).Conclusion It is enough to increase Arc/Arg 3.1 protein content and synaptic plasticity in mPFC by 10 mg/kg,and the changes implied in formation of morphine relative reward memory.

Mirror therapy has been widely used in practice as an effective rehabilitaiton method. Mirror integrated therapy combined mirror therapy with some other technologies, such as virtual reality, functional electrical stimulation, augmented reality, etc., to enhance the task orientation, and improve the efficiency of treatment.

Obstacles in pharyngoesophageal function are characterized clinically by dysphagia.At present,the treatment for dysphagia is broadly divided into two ways:balloon expansion therapy and electrical stimulation therapy.Balloon dilatation device for achalasia of cricopharyngeal muscle is design based on the principle of expansion treatment to stimulate cricopharyngeal muscle contraction and dilatation through the pressure of balloon dilation.At work,the water was filled in balloon catheter through the electronic charge pump to pressurize to reach a certain pressure of the balloon dilatation,and the drain valve drained water at prescriptive speed until it reaches a certain contraction of the balloon pressure,followed by water filling in the balloon catheter.This operation was repeated operation,resulting in a compression cycle to cricopharyngeal muscle,promote its contraction and dilatation.Patients can gradually restore autonomy of swallowing.The device is easy to operate,safe and reliable.The doctor can fill water in the balloon catheter at certain time and quantity to achieve the treatment of achalasia of cricopharyngeal muscle.

This article presents the design of a treadmill of comprehensive training experiment for rats. The treadmill is composed of six tracks and two of them were designed as conventional plane, two were designed to swing right and left, and two were designed to swing back and forth. The power was provided by six motors. The MSP430F149 is used as core to adjust the swing rate and the grade of electric shock. The IAR for MSP430 is used to design the software. The speed of the six tracks could be adjusted between 0 and 30 m/min. The swing tracks of back and forth can be swung for 3-25 times per minute and the swing tracks of right and left for 3-32 times. The electric shock can be divided into three levels, i. e. strong, middle, and weak level for each track. The digital comprehensive training treadmill can meet different training needs, and provide experimental data for mechanism research of some related diseases.

Objective:To investigate the effects of paeonol on aortic nuclear factor-kappaB ( NF-κB) activity and blood lipid levels in the rats with atherosclerosis ( AS) . Methods:The AS rat model was established by administration of high-fat diet and vitamin D3 ( i. p. ). The rats were divided into 5 groups (n=8) randomly, namely the normal group, model group, positive control group(simvasta-tin, 10 mg·kg-1 ) and paeonol groups with the dose of 20 and 10 mg·kg-1 , respectively. After the 4-week treatment, the serum of rats was collected to determine the lipid levels. The aortic pathologic changes of AS rats were observed under a microscope, and then graded, and aortic NF-κB activity was detected by an immunohistochemistry method. Results:Administration of paeonol improved the severity of aortic pathology in AS rats. The pathologic grade in the paeonol group (20 mg·kg-1 ) showed a significant difference com-pared with that in the model group (P<0. 05). Paeonol (20 and 10 mg·kg-1) markedly decreased the TG, TC and LDL-C levels in the serum of AS rats (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Meanwhile, paeonol significantly inhibited the aortic NF-κB activity(IOD value) with (1. 96 ± 0. 55) and (2. 50 ± 0. 80) in 20 and 10 mg·kg-1 group, respectively, which showed significant differences compared with that in the model group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:Paeonol shows certain therapeutic effect in AS rats, and the mechanisms may be related with the regulation of lipid mobilization and the inhibition of aortic NF-κB activity.
