1.Kinesitherapy Applied to Dyslipidemia (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(12):1078-1080
Many clinical researches and animal experiments proved that kineditherapy could undoubtedly improve the blood lipid level of dyslipidemia. The mechanism is that kineditherapy can regulate lipid metabolism, lipoprotein and lipoproteinic lipase. On the other hands kinesitherapy also indirectly modulates insulin, adhesion factors and cytokines to influence the blood lipid level. It is important for patients to choose suitable exercises and insist them for a long time. The effect of different activity intensity on lipid level has no distinct difference.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum inflammatory factors and blood glucose in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) . Methods Seventy eight SIRS patients were divided into survival subgroup (n =37) and fatal subgroup ( n = 41), 35 non-SIRS patients were designated as control group. Thirty eight out 76 patients whose blood glucose was higher than 6. 1 mmol/L were randomly selected for intensive insulin therapy. Serum IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, TNF-α and blood glucose were measured; HLA-DR expression on monocytes was detected. Results Serum IL-6, TNF-αand blood glucose levels were (80±8) vs. (42±7)×10~3μg/L, (52±20) vs. (17±6) ×10~3μg/L and (11.9±1.1)vs.(6.5±1.5)mmoL/L in SIRS vs.non-SIRS group respectively(all P<0.05);those were(108±21)vs.(66±22)×10~3μg/L,(28±8)vs.(16±9)×10~3μg/L,(14.4±2.1)vs.(7.0±1.0)mmol/L in fatal vs.survival group,respectively(all P<0.05).The changes of IL-10,IL-13 and HLA-DR expression intensity of monocyte showed a reverse trend.The intensive insulin therapy reversed the above tendency and reduced the fatality rate.Conclusions Blood glucose levels are corrected with serum cytokines in SIRS patients and reflex the immune status and disease prognosis.Intensive insulin therapy can improve the prognosis of SIRS patients.

Objective:The study aimed at investigating the impact factors of FHA.Methods:The 33-pair subjects were both implemented laboratory check about ?-EP,ACTH,FSH,LH ,E2 in blood and questionnaire about Life Event Scale,EPQ and Coping Style.Results: As for the results of the single factor logistic,the impact factors were very complex.Perhaps the mechanism of FHA resulted from multi-factor interact.The main factors determining whether women suffered from FHA or not were life event,?-EP and withdrawing coping style.Conclusion:The psycholosocial factors of life events,personality and coping styles play important roles in the onset of FHA.

Objective To study the dynamic change of serum levels of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome ( MODS) and its predicting value for prognosis. Methods All patients diagnosed as systematic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) were divided into MODS group (n = 48) and non-MODS group (n = 30) by their severity, and survival group (n = 37) and deceased group (n =41) by their prognosis. Serum levels of inflammatory, anti-inflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and intensity of the HLA-DR expression in monocytes was measured by flow cytometry. Results Serum level of inflammatory cytokines in patients of MODS group and deceased group was significantly higher than that in those of non-MODS and survival groups ( P

To compare the chemical change of Paeoniae Radix Alba (PRA) after vinegar-baking processing, as well as the effect of vinegar types exerted on the processing, 1H NMR-based metabolomic approach combined with multivariate statistical analysis was used to investigate the different metabolites between the raw and two vinegar-baked PRA. More than thirty metabolites were identified in the 1H NMR spectrum of PRA, and the multivariate statistical analysis showed that raw and two vinegar-baked PRA could be separated obviously. After vinegar-baking, the contents of isoleucine, lactate, alanine, arginine, albiflorin, and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) elevated, while those of sucrose, paeoniflorin and its analogues (calculated by benzoate) decreased. The chemical compositions of two vinegar-baked PRA were also different. Shanxi vinegar- baked PRA showed higher levels of leucine, isoleucine, valine, and albiflorin, while rice vinegar-baked PRA contained more sucrose and paeoniflorin's analogues (calculated by benzoate). And the chemical changes in Shanxi vinegar-baked PRA were greater than those of rice vinegar-baked PRA. The results revealed the chemical differences between raw and vinegar-baked PRA, as well as the influence of vinegar type on processing, in a holistic manner, the results obtained suggested that the correlations between the chemical change and the drug action after processing, as well as the vinegar type used in processing, should be further studied.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of breast MRI in patients presenting with microcalcifications on mammography.Methods Eight four patients were retrospectively analyzed,who had mammographically detected BI-RADS (breast imaging reporting and data system) 3 to 5 microcalcifications and underwent breast MRI before surgical biopsy.All mammography and MR images were reviewed with BI-RADS.With histopathological diagnosis as golden standard,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the two methods were calculated and compared with x2 test or Fisher exact test.The diagnostic efficacy of the two methods was compared with ROC curve.Results Pathologic examination revealed 91 lesions in 84 patients including 49 benign lesions and 42 malignant lesions.For 21 lesions of category 3 microcalcifications,the specificity of mammography and MR was 100.0% (21/21) and 95.2% (20/21),which had no significant difference (P=1.000).For 51 lesious of category 4,sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of mammography were 100.0%(23/23),0 and 45.1%(23/51).The corresponding values for MR were 91.3%(21/23),82.1% (23/28) and 86.3% (44/51).The difference for specificity and accuracy between the two methods was statistical significant(x2 value was 30.030 and 19.182,respectively,with P<0.01),but not for sensitivity(x2=0.523,P=0.470).Nineteen lesions of category 5 were all correctly diagnosed on mammography and MRI.For all the 91 lesions,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of mammography were 100.0%(42/42),42.9%(21/49) and 69.2%(63/91),respectively.The corresponding values for MRI were 95.2 %(40/42),87.8%(43/49) and 91.2%(83/91).There was significant difference for specificity and accuracy between the two methods (x2 value was 21.798 and 13.851,respectively,with P<0.05),but not for sensitivity (x2=0.512,P=0.474).The areas under ROC curve for mammography and MR were 0.844,0.945(P<0.01),for the estimation of the benign and the malignent.Conclusions Compared with mammography,breast MRI significantly improved the diagnosis of category 4 microcalcifications with increased specificity and accuracy.But for microcalcifications of category 3 and 5,MR didn't improve the diagnostic effect.

AlM: To analyze, summarize and describe ophthalmic imaging features of posterior scleritis.
METHODS: Clinical data of 16 patients ( 21 eyes ) with posterior scleritis diagnosed in our hospital from October 2008 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The results of type-B ultrasonic, fundus chromophotograph, fundus fluorescein angiography, CT were recorded for comprehensive evaluation and analysis of ophthalmic imaging features of posterior scleritis.
RESULTS: All patients underwent type-B ultrasonic examination and manifested as diffuse and nodular types. The diffuse type showed diffusely thickened sclera and a dark hypoechoic area that connected with the optic nerve to form a typical “T”-shaped sign. The nodular type showed scleral echogenic nodules and relatively regular internal structure. FFA showed that relatively weak mottled fluorescences were visible in the arterial early phase and strong multiple needle-like fluorescences were visible in the arteriovenous phase, which were then progressively larger and fused; fluorescein was leaked to the subretinal tissue in the late phase;varying degrees of strong fluorescences with less clear or unclear boundaries were visible in the optic disk. CT results showed thickened eyeball wall.
CONCLUSlON: Posterior scleritis is common in young female patients, whose ophthalmic imaging features are varied and more specific in type-B ultrasonic. Selection of rational ophthalmic imaging examination method, combined with clinical manifestations, can accurately diagnose posterior scleritis and avoid the incidence of missed and delayed diagnosis.
