Objective The aim of the study is to investigate whether the progressive incremental exercise can induce the change in bone maximum force.Methods One hundred and seventy healthy SD rats,aged 3 months,were used as samples after adaptive exercise for one week,and then they were divided to a basic control group(C_0),8 control groups and 8 exercise groups according to the training duration(2W,4W,6W,8W,9W,11W,13W and 15W).Based on Bedford and our pre-study.the longest training duration of the rats was 15 weeks.The maximum force(F) of femoral bone and the 2nd lumbar vertebrae(L_2)were tested by three-point bending test and compressive test separately.Results It was shown that there was no pronounced difference in F of femoral bone between con trol groups and exercise groups.But significant differences in F of L_2 were found between the control groups and exercise groups(P<0.001).Conclusions Changes in different degree were found in the F of femoral bone and L_2 during the process of growth.The differential effects of incremental exercise on F were caused by the difference in training intensities and in the bone types.

Objective To study the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Jingtongning Capsule. Methods Models of acute inflammatory reactions of croton oil-induced mouse ear edema and carrageenan-induced rat raw swelling and chronic inflammatory reaction of cotton ball-induced mouse granuloma in abdominal cavity were performed to study the anti-inflammatory effects of Jingtongning Capsule. Model of acetic acid-induced writhing in mice was used to study the analgesic effect of Jingtongning Capsule. Results Jingtongning Capsule significantly suppressed croton oil-induced mouse ear edema and carrageenan-induce rat paw swelling. Cotton ball-induced mouse granuloma in abdominal cavity was also markedly reduced by Jingtongning Capsule. The writhing times of mice induced by acetic acid were decreased by Jingtongning Capsule. Conclusions Jingtongning Capsule has obvious anti-inflammatory effect on acute and chronic inflammatory reactions. The pain reactions induced by chemical stimulus was significantly relieved by Jingtongning Capsule.

Purpose To evaluate the relative bioavailability of a domestic sustained-release metformin tablets (SRM) compared against an immediate-release metformin tablets (IRM) using a multiple-dose,two-way crossover design after a single-dose study. Methods Eighteen healthy adult male volunteers,aged 18 to 22 years (mean,20 years),weighing 55 to 76 kg (mean,64 kg) and with height ranging from 166 to 180 cm (mean,173 cm),and blood glucose levels from 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/L (mean,4.3 mmol/L) participated in the study.The concentrations of metformin in plasma were determined using a ion-pair liquid chromatographic method. Results In single-dose study,the mean residence time (MRT),Tmax,and apparent elimination half-life (T1/2) for SRM were significantly longer and Cmax significantly lower than the corresponding values determined for IRM.The similar results were also demonstrated in multiple-dose study.The mean values of the relative bioavaibility of SRM compared with IRM in two administration ways were (85.95±0.97)% and (86.44±7.88)%,respectively.The single-dose and multiple-dose administration of the 90% confidence interval for the ratio of the logarithmic transformed AUC values of SRM over those of IRM were calculated to lie between 0.83 and 0.88,0.83 and 0.89,respectively,being within the acceptable bioequivalence limit of 0.80~1.25. Conclusion SRM was of the characteristic of sustained-release pharmacokinetics.The relative bioavailability for single dosing was similar to that of multiple dosing,and both of the administration ways demonstrated bioequivalence in absorption between SRM and IRM.

Objective To assess the right ventricular (RV) performance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (2-DM) by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI),and to explore the clinical value of RV longitudinal strain and strain rate.Methods Thirty-seven patients with 2-DM only and thirtyone patients coexisting diabetes and hypertension (DM + HTN) were studied.Thirty-nine healthy age matched persons served as control subjects.In each patient a conventional two-dimensional echocardiography was performed and also an echocardiographic study with strain/strain rate imaging was studied.Analysis of RV longitudinal systolic strain were obtained in the apical four-chamber view of the RV for the assessment of the RV free wall(F-PLSS),interventricular septum (S-PLSS) and the global RV wall (G-PLSS).The entire RV longitudinal peak systolic strain rate (G-SRs),peak early-diastolic strain rate (G-SRe) and peak late-diastolic strain rate (G-SRa) were performed in the apical four-chamber view.Results Compared with controls,F-PLSS,S-PLSS,G-PLSS,G-SRs and G-SRe were decreased in 2-DM and DM + HTN (all P <0.01),with lower values in DM + HTN (P <0.05).In the patients coexisting diabetes and hypertension,G-SRa was significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05).Compared with 2-DM,this difference was not significant in controls and DM + HTN (P >0.05).Conclusions No matte the patients of 2-DM with or without hypertension,the early changes of RV dysfunction can be found by 2D-STI.Patients coexisting diabetes and hypertension may have worse RV dysfunction.

Objective To study the imaging features of sacroiliac joints(SIJ) in patients who were misdiagnosed as spondyloarthritis(SpA).Methods A total of 34 patients with chief complaint of back pain and misdiagnosed as SpA from January 2007 to April 2013 in Department of Rheumatology Chinese PLA General Hospital were enrolled.The imaging,clinical manifestations,laboratory examinations data were analyzed.Result The main reason for misdiagnosis as SpA was because of sacroiliitis presenting on imaging.The final diagnoses included 24 patients as SIJ infection,4 patients as neoplastic diseases,2 patients as metabolic bone diseases,2 patients as sacroiliac joint degeneration,1 patient as gout of sacroiliac joint,1 patient as diffuse idiopathic bone hypertrophy.For patients with infection,there were 10 patients receiving X-ray and 22 patients receiving CT of SIJ.However,5 and 7 patients had negative results respectively.These patients with infection had abnormalities in MRI including all with bone marrow edema,21 patients with erosion of bone and joint,22 patients with muscle involved.As to the patients with malignancies,SIJ CT scan appeared normal.Bone marrow edema and erosion in MRI were found in all neoplasm patients expect one as ependymoma.Adjacent muscles were involved in the patient with Ewing's sarcoma.Either X-ray or CT in other patients demonstrated obvious abnormalities,but only mild erosion of bone was found in MRI.Conclusion Bone marrow edema of SIJ in MRI represented not only in patients with SpA.Rheumatologists should analyze the clinical manifestations and laboratory examinations comprehensively in order to avoid the misdiagnoses.

Objective To explore the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of three stains. Methods Airpouch induced acute inflammation rat model was developed by subcutaneous injection of carrageenan.Inflammatory invasion and tumor necrosis fator-alpha (TNF-α) expression levels of the inflammed skins were examined by immunohistochemical methods and digital image analysis. The anti-inflammatory action of the 3 different statins was compared. Results Stains could inhibit inflammatory invasion and the expression of TNF-α. Conclusion The statins have demonstrated strong inhibition of inflammation.
