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 explore the diagnostic values of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and p -human chorionic gonadotropin( β -hCG) for early ectopic pregnancy. Methods The serum levels of VEGF and β-hCG were measured in 109 patients with suspected ectopic pregnancy by ELISA and RIA respectively, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curvers were established, the diagnostic values of VEGF and β -hCG for ectopic pregnancy were analyzed. Results One hundred and nine patients with suspected ectopic pregnancy were diagnosed in the end: 62 cases with ectopic pregnancy and 47 cases with intrauterine pregnancy. The levels of VEGF in ectopic pregnancy were significantly higher than those in intrauterine pregnancy (P < 0.05), but the levels of β -hCG were significantly lower than those in intrauterine pregnancy (P < 0.05). The areas under ROC curves of VEGF were 0.87, the areas under ROC curves of β -hCG were 0.71. In VEGF > 140 ng/L for diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, the sensitivity and specificity were 75.8% (47/62) and 80.9% (38/47) respectively. In β-hCG < 1200 U/L for diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, the sensitivity and specificity were 64.5%(40/62) and 61.7%(29/47) respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of VEGF and β -hCG were 80.6%(50/62) and 57.4%( 27/47) respectively. Conclusions The diagnostic values of VEGF are better than those of β -hCG. The combined detection of VEGF and β -hCG can increase the rate of early diagnosis and shorten observation time.

Objective To study the impact of active control of the trajectory of the center of gravity on the effectiveness of balance training and balance assessment. Methods Two groups of subjects ( group 1 30-45 years old, group 2 45-60 years old ) were evaluated and trained using both active center of gravity trajectory control and static balance methods. Results The percentages of success in controlling the center of gravity were the same when both groups were trained using static balance. Group 1's success percentage was higher than that of group 2 after active center of gravity trajectory training. Their affected lower limbs performed better in wave trace training than after static balance training, and performance improved with increased wave trace amplitude. Conclusions Wave tracing can stimulate the lower limbs of patients with active control force and improve their balance. The wave assessment is superior to static assessment, as it can objectively reflect ability in active center of gravity control and adjust the lower limbs of subjects whose static balance ability is at the same level.

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.

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.
