Objective To investigate the effect of Lokomat gait training rehabilitation robot on joint motion and lower limb function in hemiplegic patients after stroke.Methods Forty hemiplegic patients after stroke were randomized equally into a robotic group and a control group (20 cases in each group).The robotic group received robotic rehabilitation therapy in addition to routine rehabilitation training,while the control group was only given instructions for routine rehabilitation training.All the patients were assessed at the beginning of the training and at the end of 4,8 and 10 weeks of treatment.The Fugl-Meyer Assessment of lower extremities (FMA),range of motion (ROM) in hip and knee,force and tone of bilateral hip/knee flexors and extensors were used to evaluate stepping function before training,and after 4,8 and 10 weeks of treatment.Results There was no significant difference between the 2 groups with regard to FMA scores,the ROM in hip and knee,as well as force and tone of bilateral hip/ knee flexors and extensors (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,the robotic group was significantly improved with all the evaluation indexes when compared to its baseline values (P ＜ 0.05).It was also shown that the robotic group improved to a significantly greater extent than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Pearson's correlation analysis demonstrated a positive relationship between the ROM of knee or hip and lower limb function (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The Lokomat gait training rehabilitation robot can improve the lower extremities functions,as indicated by increase of ROM and muscle strength as well as decrease in muscle spasticity in hemiplegic patients after stroke.

Objective To review the efficacy of different rehabilitation training on walking locomotion for chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) by Meta-analysis. Methods PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang Database, and Google academic search were applied to search for clinical trials on chronic incomplete spinal cord injury to review the efficacy of gait training. Meta-analysis was to assess the clinical trials by Rev-Man 4.2. Results Gait training improved the walking speed for chronic incomplete spinal cord injury. The efficacy of partial body weight support treadmill training combined with functional electrical stimulation was confirmed. The efficacy of artificial aided training and robot-aided training remained uncertain. Conclusion Gait training was effective to improve walking ability for chronic incomplete spinal cord injury, but the evidence was insufficient.

Objective To conduct a single-center retrospective analysis on the distribution characteristics and prevalence of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) patients diagnosed with pathology for the past 16 years,to investigate diagnostic and differential diagnostic value of serum antiphospholipase A2 receptor antibodies (PLA2R-Ab),and to evaluate the correlation between PLA2R-Ab and clinical disease activity.Methods (1) 6996 biopsy-proven primary glomerular nephropathy (PGN) patients,including 1567 IMN cases,admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2000 to December 2015 were involved.Demographics and pathological type were gathered from all patients.(2) 433 cases receiving renal biopsy and testing PLA2R-Ab from June 2015 to December 2015 were involved,with their clinical and laboratorial data being collected.During the period patients' follow-up time,therapeutic schedule and laboratory results were recorded.Results (1) IMN accounted for 22.4％ of primary glomerular disease,and patients above 40 years old accounted for more than 60％ of the IMN.(2) The sensitivity and specificity of serological PLA2R-Ab were 58.1％(95％CI 47.0％-68.5％) and 98.6％(95％CI 95.6％-99.6％) respectively.PLA2R-Ab positive rate was affected by immunosuppression therapy.(3) The PLA2R-Ab titers wasn't correlated with 24-hour urinary protein (r=-0.017,P=0.887),serum albumin (r=-0.072,P=0.549) and urinary red blood cell count (r=-0.030,P=0.802).There was no difference between PLA2R-Ab positive positive and PLA2R-Ab negative on proportion of IMN pathological stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ (P ＞ 0.05).Thirteen cases of patients with PLA2R-Ab positive were all prescribed glucocorticoid combined with immunosuppressant.After (2.21± 1.09) months,the decrease of PLA2R-Ab titers was in accordance with 24-hour urinary protein quantity descending and serum albumin ascending (P ＜ 0.05).Condusions The incidence of IMN increase year by year,especially in the mid-aged and the elderly.Serum PLA2R-Ab correlates not with IMN pathological stage,but with the development of IMN.Monitoring PLA2R-Ab titers individually may access the efficiency of treatment.

Objective To explore the effect of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) in uric acid?induced phenotypic change in renal tubular epithelial cells (HK?2). Methods (1) HK?2 cells were cultured with 0, 75, 150, 225, 300 mg/L uric acid for 24 h in vitro. (2) The cells were divided into normal control group, ER stress inhibitor 4?PBA (5 μmol/L) group, uric acid (150 mg/L) group and 4?PBA+uric acid group for 24 h. Morphological changes of HK?2 cells were observed under inverted microscope. MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation of HK?2 cells treated with 150 mg/L uric acid for 24, 48 and 72 h. The protein expressions of α?smooth muscle actin (α?SMA), vimentin, snail, glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α(p?eIF2α) in HK?2 cells were measured by Western blotting. Results Compared with the control group, HK?2 cells in uric acid groups (150, 225, 300 mg/L) showed fibroblast?like appearance. The protein expressions of α?SMA, vimentin, snail, GRP78 and p?eIF2α in 150 mg/L and 225 mg/L uric acid groups were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The proliferation of HK?2 cells in 150 mg/L uric acid group was lower than that in control group at 48 and 72 h (all P<0.01). Compared with the uric acid group, the cell morphology in 4?PBA+uric acid group was improved, and the protein expressions ofα?SMA, vimentin, snail, GRP78 and p?eIF2α were decreased (all P<0.05). Conclusions Uric acid may induce the phenotype transformation of renal tubular epithelial cell, and ER stress is involved. 4?PBA may inhibit the uric acid?induced ER stress response and phenotypic transformation, and may be beneficial in attenuating uric acid?induced renal tubular damage.

Objective To investigate the possible protective effect of Shenqingyin Decoction on the kidney of experimental diabetic rats and its possible mechanism. Methods Totally 40 rats with diabetes induced by streptozocin were divided into 4 groups: diabetes model group, Shenqingyin group, Benopril group and Shenqingyin-Benopril combination group. After 8 weeks' treatment, blood glucose, renal function and 24h urine protein were measured, and malondialdehyde (MDA) in renal tissues and urine, superoxide diamutase (SOD) activity and serum transformed growth factor-β_1(TGF-β_1) were tested; renal pathological changes were observed with light microscope as well. Results The serum BUN, Scre of all medicine groups were significantly improved, which did not significantly differ from that in control group (P>0.05). However, it had no obvious improving effect on blood sugar. The content of 24h urine protein in all medicine groups was significantly lower than that in model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and Shenqingyin-Benopril combination group had the significantly lower level than the other two medicine groups (P<0.01). MDA in renal tissues and urine, SOD activity and serum TGF-β1 in all medicine groups significantly differed from those in the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and Shenqingyin-Benopril combination group had obvious difference with the other two medicine groups (P<0.01). Light microscopy showed amelioration of different degree in renal pathological changes, but with no significant differences in all medicine groups. Conclusion Shenqingyin Decoction has a protective effect on the kidney of experimental diabetic rats, and it has some synergetic effect when combined with Benopril. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting oxidative stress, improving the body's antioxidant ability and decreasing the expression of inflammatory factor TGF-β_1.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemic situation of Acinetobacter in lower respiratory tract infection and their drug resistance,in order to provide evidence for clinical anti-infection therapy. METHODS The data of Acinetobacter from the sputum specimens of inpatients in our hospital with lower respiratory tract infection during 2006-2007 were collected and analyzed with the software the software WHONET5.4. RESULTS Among all pathogens in lower respiratory tract infection,Acinetobacter accounted for 9.2% in 2006 and 7.4% in 2007,the rate in deparment of neurosurgery,surgical ICU and respiratory ICU was higher. Acinetobacter had the highest susceptible rate to imipenem and were also susceptible to meropenem and cefoperazone/sulbactam. However,Acinetobacter had higher resistant rate to imipenem and meropenem while higher susceptible rate to cefoperazone/sulbactam in 2007 than in 2006. The susceptible rate of Acinetobacter to the third and forth generation cephalosporins,amikacin,levofloxacin and aztreonam was lower than 50%. CONCLUSIONS The drug resistance mechanism of Acinetobacter is so complicated that many kinds of drugs prove poorly effective. Carbopenems are recommended when single drug is utilized and drug combination based on the clinical and laboratory information can be tried.
