Objective To investigate the rule of cell apoptosis after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats, and to analyze the effect of Astragalus injection on the brain tissue water content and cell apoptosis perihematoma.Methods Experimental ICH models of rats were produced in by injection of Collagenase into right caudate nucleus using stereotaxis technique. After operation, 160 SD rats were randomly divided into 4 test groups according to different intervention time (operation meanwhile group, 6 h group,12 h group and 24 h group after operation, 32 rats in each group) and hemorrhagic control group (32 rats). The rats in test groups were treated with Astragalus injection intraperitoneally once a day. All ICH animals were killed at 4 d or 7 d after ICH. 12 rats from the above each group were used to measure brain tissue water content (dry-wet method). The effect of different initiation time point of treatment on brain tissue water content and cell apoptosis perihematoma was observed. The apoptosis perihematoma was detected by TUNEL technique.Results Compared with hemorrhagic control group, brain tissue water contents improved significantly in operation meanwhile group (4 d), 6 h group (both 4 d and 7 d) and 12 h group (4 d)(all P

Objective:To analyze the high risk behaviors of HIV/AIDS and its influencing factors in men who have sex with man(MSM)in a city,so as to provide evidence for the targeted intervention.Methods:Between July 2006 and October 2006,1000 MSM were sampled by snowball sampling and had a face to face interview by well trained investigators with informed consent.Questions on age,education background,and sex orientation were designated and 3 ml blood samples were obtained for examination of HIV and syphilis.?2 test and logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results:The average age of the 1 000 MSM was 27.8?9.1 years old.In the past 6 months,43.6% of them had 3 or more male sex partners,53.6% had unprotected anal intercourse with men,8.0% had commercial sex with men,and 24.3% had sex with women.Elder subjects had a higher ratio of unprotected anal intercourse and male-female sex;subjects with lower educational background had more sex partners and male-female sex.Subjects working in the bathhouse had a higher ratio of commercial sex and male-female sex.Subjects with a male-female sex orientation or undetermined sex orientation had a higher ratio of commercial sex.Syphilis was detected in 93(9.3%)subjects and HIV was detected in 104(10.4%)subjects;among them 18 subjects had both syphilis and HIV.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the aged(OR=3.5,95%CI 1.7-7.1),the number of male sex partners(OR=3.8,95%CI 1.9-7.6),the behavior of unprotected anal intercourse(OR=1.9,95%CI 1.0-3.5)and the infection of syphilis(OR=2.1,95%CI 1.4-3.4)were independently associated with the risk of HIV/AIDS prevalence;the knowledge of AIDS was the protective factor of HIV/AIDS prevalence(OR=0.5,95%CI 0.3-0.7).Conclusion:High risk behaviors of HIV exist in MSM population in the researched city;there is local epidemic of HIV.Interventions should be given according to age,educational background,sex orientation,etc.

Objective To survey the high risk behavior and infection of HIV/AIDS among men who have sex with men(MSM)and provide scientific evidence for HIV/AIDS prevention and control.Methods MSM were sampled by snowball sampling method and were interviewed by well trained investigators face to face under the informed consent.Their venous blood samples were collected for HIV seropositivity rate.Results A total of 1000 MSM,averagely aged(27.8?9.1)years,were interviewed,among whom 43.9% perceive AIDS knowledge.78.6% had anal intercourse with male partners,31.8% of whom always used condom in the past 6 months.8.0% participants had commercial sex with men in the past 6 months.The prevalence of HIV in the surveyed subjects was 10.4%.Conclusion Potential risk of HIV epidemic threatens local MSM who spread the risk to general population.High risk behavior is ubiquitous among MSM.It is imperative to carry out targeted interventions among MSM.

Objective To compare the effects of neutral posture training (NPT) and gas resistance training on balance and motor func-tion in stroke patients. Methods From June, 2014 to February, 2016, 44 hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into control group (n=22) and experimental group (n=22). The control group received conventional decubitus trunk muscle training and sitting gas resistance train-ing. The experimental group received NPT. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE), Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) before and after training. Results There was no significant differ-ence in the scores of FMA-UE, FMA-LE and BBS between two groups (t<0.962, P>0.05). The scores significantly increased after training in both groups (t>12.248, P<0.001), and were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t>1.972, P<0.05). Conclusion The NPT could improve the motor and balance function of stroke patients, rather than gas resistance training.
