Objective To investigate the immediate effects of lower limb with open chain weight-adding on joint position sense and gait symmetry in stroke patients. Methods From January, 2016 to January, 2017, 39 stroke patients were included. Their joint position sense and gait symmetry were compared before and after weight-adding. The joint position senses of active reproduction of active positioning (ARAP) and passive reproduction of passive positioning (PRPP) were assessed during lower limb straight leg raise. The gait symmetry was also as-sessed and three indexes were recorded including the symmetry of foot rotation angle, step length and percentage of single leg support phase. Results After weight-adding, the position sense of PRPP did not improve (t=0.832, P=0.832), nor of the symmetry of foot rotation an-gle (t=-0.704, P=0.483) and percentage of single leg support phase (t=0.381, P=0.702);the position sense of ARAP improved (t=3.158, P=0.011), as well as the symmetry of step length (t=2.022, P=0.041). Conclusion The lower limb with open chain weight-adding could im-prove the active joint position sense and symmetry of step length.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and side effects of amnion stent implanted in lacrimal duct for the lacrimal duct obstruction diseases (LDOD).Methods:A randomized controlled clinical trial was adopted.Seventy-two eyes of 72 patients with LDOD treated in Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital from June 2014 to January 2015 was randomized into the experiment group and the control group with amnion stent or silicone tube retrogradely implanted according to grouping in accordance with block randomization with 36 eyes in each group.All patients were performed irrigation of lacrimal passage at 3 and 6 months postoperatively to compare the patency rate of lacrimal duct and side effects between the two groups.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to entering the study cohort.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital (No.2014-002).Results:The patency rate of lacrimal duct was 91.7%(33/36) and 80.6%(29/36) at 3 months postoperatively in the experimental and control group, respectively.Although the difference was obvious, there was no statistical significance ( P=0.307). The patency rate of lacrimal duct was 88.9%(32/36) and 75.0%(27/36) at 6 months postoperatively in the experimental and control groups, respectively.Similarly, the difference was obvious, however there was no statistical significance ( P=0.220). At 3 months and 6 months postoperatively, the incidence of epiphora in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group, it was significantly different ( Z=2.729, P=0.006), and there was no significant difference at 6 months postoperatively ( Z=1.921, P=0.055). At 6 months follow-up period, the attack rate of side effects, such as dacryon congestion and exudation, was 2.8%(1/36) and 13.9%(5/36) in the experiment and control groups, respectively, however, the difference was no statistical significance ( P=0.199). Conclusions:The implantation of amnion stent in lacrimal duct for LDOD is effective, and the patency rate of lacrimal duct is not lower than that of the implantation of silicone tube in the lacrimal duct.

Objective: To explore mechanism of lung injury of rats induced by inhalation of white smoke from burning smoke pot. Methods: Forty-eight Sprague Dawley rats were divided into control group (n=12) and injury group (n=36) according to the random number table. Rats in injury group were placed in smoke-induced injury experimental equipment fulled with white smoke from burning smoke pot for 5 minutes to make lung injury, and rats in control group were placed in smoke-induced injury experimental equipment fulled with air for 5 minutes to make sham injury. Six rats in injury group at post injury hour (PIH) 6, 24, and 72 and six rats in control group at PIH 72 were collected to observe pathological changes of lung tissue and pathological score of rats in the two groups by hematoxylin-eosin staining, to detect expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 mRNA in lung tissue of rats by reverse transcriptional polymerase chain reaction, and to detect content of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and IL-6 in lung tissue of rats by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance and t test. Results: At PIH 72, lung tissue structure of rats in control group was clear and complete, with no inflammatory cell infiltration. At PIH 6, there was edema, hemorrhage, and inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissue of rats in injury group. At PIH 24, edema, hemorrhage, and inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissue of rats in injury group aggravated. At PIH 72, area of edema in lung tissue of rats in injury group was enlarged, with obvious hemorrhage and inflammatory cell infiltration. At PIH 6, 24, and 72, pathological score of lung tissue of rats in injury group was (3.43±0.86), (5.39±0.93), and (9.99±0.84) points, respectively, obviously higher than that of rats in control group at PIH 72 [(2.11±0.20) points, t=3.659, 8.450, 22.355, P<0.05]. As time post injury prolonged, pathological scores of lung tissue of rats in injury group were significantly increased (F=121.244, P<0.01). At PIH 6, 24, and 72, expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA in lung tissue of rats in injury group was 15.5±4.3, 25.9±1.8, 30.9±3.5 respectively, significantly higher than that of rats in control group at PIH 72 (7.8±0.8, t=4.315, 20.445, 14.408, P<0.01). As time post injury prolonged, expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA in lung tissue of rats in injury group gradually increased (F=32.691, P<0.01). At PIH 6, 24, and 72, content of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in lung tissue of rats in injury group was significantly higher than that of rats in control group at PIH 72, respectively (t=7.650, 8.968, 6.827, 6.726, 8.978, 3.460, 5.420, 13.289, 16.438, P<0.01). At PIH 24, content of TNF-α and IL-1β in lung tissue of rats in injury group was higher than that of rats in the same group at PIH 6 and 72, respectively (t=3.409, -2.549, 4.047, -4.100, P<0.05). At PIH 24 and 72, content of IL-6 in lung tissue of rats in injury group was respectively higher than that of rats in the same group at PIH 6 (t=8.273, 9.711, P<0.05). Conclusions After inhaling white smoke from burning smoke pot, rats are inflicted with lung injury by increasing expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA and content of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, and induce pathological changes of edema, hemorrhage, and inflammatory cell infiltration of lung tissue.

OBJECTIVE：To study the effects of rat intestinal flora on the pharmacokinetic parameters of pyrazinamide and its active metabolite pyrazinoic acid. METHODS ：Totally 16 SD rats were randomly divided into trial group and control group ，with 8 rats in each group. Trial group was given mixed antibiotics （streptomycin sulfate+neomycin sulfate ）intragastrically to construct pseudoaseptic rat model. After modeling ，both groups were given pyrazinamide intragastrically （150 mg/kg）. Before and 0.167， 0.333，0.667，1，1.5，2，3，4，6，9 h after administration ，0.1 mL blood sample was collected from orbital venous plexus ，and 0.3 mL blood sample was collected from orbital venous plexus 12，24 h after administration. Using phenacetin as internal standard ， LC-MS/MS method was adopted to determine the plasma concentration of pyrazinamide and pyrazinoic acid. The determination was performed on Agilent ZORBAX SB-Aq column with mobile phase consisted of 0.2％ formic acid （containing 8 mmol/L ammonium acetate）-methanol（gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 1 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃，and sample size was 10 μL. The ion source was ESI and the temperature of ion source was 500 ℃. The collision gas was nitrogen and the pressure was 10 psi. The temperature of mass transfer interface was 100 ℃. The mass spectrum monitoring mode was multi reaction monitoring ， and the collection mode was positive ion mode. The monitoring transition ion-pairs were m/z 124.0→79.0（pyrazinamide），m/z 125.1→79.1（pyrazinic acid ）and m/z 180.0→110.2（internal standard ）. The de-clustering potential and collision voltage were 55， 26 and 85 V，24，23 and 28 V，respectively. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and compared by using DAS 2.1.1 software. RESULTS ：The linear ranges of pyrazinamide and pyrazinoic acid were 25-5 000 ng/mL（r＝0.997 6）and 100-12 500 ng/mL（r＝0.999 0）. The lower limits of quantification were 25 and 100 ng/mL，respectively. Intra-batch and inter-batch accuracy were 92.93％-100.50％，and RSDs of intra-batch and inter-batch precision and matrix effect tests were all lower than or equal to 8.42％（n＝6 or n＝3）. Compared with control group ，tmax of pyrazinamide in trial group was prolonged significantly （P＜0.01）； there was no statistical significance in other pharmacokinetic parameters between 2 groups（P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：The absorption of single dose pyrazinamide is delayed with the change of intestinal flora in rats.
