Objective To verify the pathol ogical basis of high signal intensity on T 1 weighted image after brain ischemia by using the rat model. Methods Fifty-six male Wistar rats, weighing 250 to 300 g, were used for the model of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO). 46 rats model were counted in the results. They were divided into two groups randomly, experimental group (T 1, n =39) and control group (T 0, n =7). Experimental group was further divided into 4 subgroups: 15 minute's MCAO (T 1-a, n =13), 30 minute's MCAO (T 1-b, n =12), 60 minute's MCAO (T 1-c, n =7), and permanent MCAO (T 1-d, n =7). Intraluminal filament technique was used with the method modified by Zea-Longa. Follow-up MRI was applied to observe the time and the position of short T 1 signal. H & E staining and electronic microscope were applied to observe the pathological changes in the position of short T 1 signal. Results In T 0 group ( n = 7), no short T 1 signal was observed in bilateral cerebral hemispheres. In T 1-a subgroup ( n =13), short T 1 signal was observed in 7 rats at the 14 th day. In T 1-b subgroup ( n =12), short T 1 signal was observed in the ischemic side in 8 rats. All of the rats in T 1-c subgroup ( n =7) and T 1-d subgroup ( n =7) were observed to have short T 1 signal. The histological changes of short T 1 signal were hemorrhage, lipid-laden macrophage, denatured protein, and myelinolysis. Earlier short T 1 signal in cortical region was mainly related with hemorrhage, short T 1 signal in the basal ganglia appeared at a later stage, which was induced by lipid-laden macrophages. The occurrence of short T 1 signal was prominently different in the time of MCAO (? 2=29.328, P

Object To investigate the preparation technique and optimal formulation of Breviscapin Sustained release Pellets (BSP) and the release mechanism of breviscapin from the pellets. Methods BSP was prepared by extrusion spheronization method. Based on the studies of influential factors, optimal formulation modified to release drug over 12 h was obtained by the orthogonal design. And release mechanism of breviscapin from BSP was established by equation fitting. Results Prepared BSP has such advantages as simple technique, uniformity in diameters and high loading with even contents. They can release drug for 12 h. And the release of breviscapin could be mainly controlled by diffusion associated with slight erosion. Conclusion Extrusion spheronization method is simple for the preparation of BSP, and useful for the large scale prodution.

Objective To observe the correlation of brain functional reorganization and motor functional restoration with application of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and regional cerebral blood flow ( rCBF) in modified constraint-induced movement therapy ( mCIMT) in cerebral infarction patients with hemiplegia.Methods Twelve patients with cerebral infarction with hemiplegia (7 males and 5 females, aged 62-75 ( 67.9 ± 6.5) years) were treated with mCIMT for eight weeks.No movement restriction was applied to the limbs at the intact sides.The affected sides exercised 4 h per day with 1 h on the upper limbs and 3 h on the lower limbs.At the same time, semi-quantitative analysis method of analyzing SPECT and rCBF was used to record changes in brain.Simple test for evaluating hand function (STEF), 10 m maximum walking speed ( MWS) , rCBF changes in the cerebral cortex ischemic lesion were respectively assessed in the pretreatment and post-treatment.Results After the treatment, STEF score of affected sides was 76.33 ± 17.13(t = -6.09) ; STEF score of intact was 86.25 ± 16.84(t = -5.86) ;The score of MWS was 6.78 ± 3.72 (t = 4.88); Ischemic score of radioactive counts was - 10.12 ± 7.25 (t = 5.33), improved from pre-treatment and the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05 ) .Conclusions mCIMT markedly improved motor function in senile cerebral infarction patients with hemiplegia as shown on SPECT.It showed that this improvement is associated with changes in brain plasticity, suggesting that improved motor function may be related to the redistribution of regional cerebral blood flow in the cerebral cortex.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in the treatment of bleeding from small intestinal vascular lesion and risk factors of bleeding recurrence .Methods:From April 2013 to May 2020, at Air Force Medical Center, the clinical data of 65 patients with confirmed or suspected bleeding from small intestinal vascular lesion were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into DBE treatment group (patients of Yano classification 1a and 1b received argon plasma coagulation, and patients of Yano classification 2 and 3 accepted combination of titanium clip and submucosal injection of lauromacrogol sclerosing agent) and non-DBE treatment group (traditional treatments such as stopping anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, blood transfusion, and iron supplementation). The bleeding recurrence of patients with single small intestinal vascular lesion between DBE treatment group and non-DBE treatment group, and patients with single or mulitiple vascular lesion of DBE treatment group were compared. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the clinical data of patients with or without recurrent bleeding. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors and protective factors of recurrent bleeding in small intestinal vascular lesion. Independent sample t test, chi-square test and Fisher exact probability method were used for statistical analysis. Results:Forty-four (25 of single vascular lesion and 19 of multiple vascular lesion) patients were diagnosed with small intestinal vascular lesions and received DBE treatment (DBE treatment group). Twenty-one patients with single vascular lesion accepted traditional treatment (non-DBE treatment group). The recurrent rate of bleeding in patients with single vascular lesion of DBE treatment group was lower than that in patients with single vascular lesion of non-DBE treatment group and patients with multiple vascular lesion of DBE treatment group (24.0%, 6/25 vs. 71.4%, 15/21 and 12/19), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=10.348 and 6.848, P=0.001 and 0.009). The results of univariate analysis showed that the proportion of blood transfusion, hypertension, complicated with valvular heart disease and DBE treatment in patients with rebleeding or not rebleeding from small intestinal vascular lesion was different with statistically significant (69.7%(23/33) vs. 37.5%(12/32), 51.5%(17/33) vs. 18.8%(6/32), 42.4%(14/33) vs. 12.5%(4/32) and 54.5%(18/33) vs. 81.2%(26/32), χ2=6.777, 7.628, 7.265, and 5.298, all P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that blood transfusion during the course of disease (odds ratien ( OR)=3.736, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.082 to 12.898, P=0.037) and complication with valvular heart disease ( OR=4.916, 95% CI 1.107 to 21.829, P=0.036) were independent risk factors of bleeding recurrence in patients with small intestinal vascular lesions. DBE treatment was the protective factor of bleeding recurrence in patients with small intestinal vascular lesion ( OR=0.214, 95% CI 0.057 to 0.808, P=0.023). Conclusions:DBE is effective in the treatment of small intestinal vascular lesion bleeding, especially for single vascular lesion. Blood transfusion during disease course and complication with valvular heart disease are independent risk factors for bleeding recurrence in patients with small intestinal vascular lesion.

Objective To compare effect of three therapies( modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT), constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and Bobath therapies)on the recovery of motor function in upper-extremities of patients with apoplexy hemiparalysis. Methods Fifty-seven patients with apoplexy hemiparalysis were randomly divided into CIMT treatment group ( n = 19), mCIMT group (n = 19) and Bobath group (n = 19). Patients in Bobath group exercised 2 h/d, 5 d/week for 6 weeks. CIMT group and mCIMT group had restriction of movement at the unimpaired upper extremity by placing it in a sling a whole day for training using impaired extremity. Patients in CIMT treatment group exercised 6 h/d,5 days a week for 2 weeks in a row; mCIMT treatment group exercised for 1 h/d, 3 days a week, and also exercised in daily life at least 2 hours every day, for ten consecutive weeks. The patients in all three groups were assessed for upper-extremities motor function using FMA of Fugl-Meyer, for recovery of upperextremities motor speed using STEF and for recovery of daily ability at respective time-points of pre-treatment and the second week, sixth week and tenth week of post-treatment. Results In 3 assessments in the 3 groups there was no obvious change before treatment, while the FMA score was 45. 2 ± 5.1 (F = 1. 107 ,P =0. 382), BI score was 63. 1 ± 10. 3 ( F = 0. 930, P = 0. 401 ), STEF score was 63.4 ± 8.6 ( F = 1. 843, P =0. 168). At the second week, sixth week and tenth week of the treatment, the difference of assessment in the three groups was significant. The improvement in CIMT group was better after 2 weeks treatment compared with Bobath and mCIMT group, while the Bobath group showed better results than mCIMT group did after 6 weeks treatment. After 10 weeks treatment, the FMA, STEF in mCIMT and CIMT groups were improved better than Bobath group, while the BI score in mCIMT group was better than that in Bobath and CIMT group. Conclusions The mCIMT and CIMT therapy are better in improving the upper limb function in stroke patients compared with Bobath, while the mCIMT therapy is more effective in improving the abilities of daily life in stroke patients compared with the other two treatments.

Objective:To evaluate the value of blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine (Cr) ratio for guiding the access route of double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) for small intestinal bleeding.Methods:The clinical information was collected from 105 patients who underwent DBE for suspected small intestinal bleeding at Air Force Medical Center from January 2015 to October 2019. Patients were divided into the elevated BUN/Cr group ( n=52) and the normal BUN/Cr group ( n=53), with a cut-off value of 81. Comparison was made for the detection rate of lesions between the oral route and anal route separately in the two groups using Chi-square test. Results:Among the 105 patients with suspected small intestinal bleeding, definite causes of bleeding were identified in 79 patients by DBE, and the overall lesion detection rate was 75.24% (79/105). In the elevated BUN/Cr group, the overall lesion detection rate was 76.92% (40/52), among which 79.49% (31/39) was through oral and 47.37% (9/19) through anal enteroscopy. In the normal BUN/Cr group, the overall lesion detection rate was 73.58% (39/53), and 63.64% (21/33) was transoral and 51.43% (18/35) transanal. The lesion detection rate of transoral enteroscopy in the elevated group was significantly higher than that in the normal group ( χ2=6.576, P=0.010). There was no significant difference in the lesion detection rate of transanal enteroscopy between the two groups ( χ2=2.230, P=0.135). Conclusion:For patients with active small intestinal bleeding (active bleeding within 48 hours), the BUN/Cr ratio higher than 81 may indicate that DBE should be performed firstly via oral route.

Objective:To investigate the effect of applying waterproof film combined with non-woven tape fixation of endotracheal tube in cleft lip and palate operation.Methods:From July 2018 to December 2018, 72 cases of cleft palate and cleft lip were selected from the operating room of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University The cases were randomly divided into the control group (suture and thread fixation method) and the experimental group (medical waterproof lamination combined with non-woven cloth), with 36 cases in each group. The duration of catheter fixation, intraoperative catheter fixation and postoperative catheter-related complications were compared between the two groups.Results:There were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in the duration of catheter fixation, surgeon satisfaction score and incidence of needle stab injury and needle stab bleeding: (1.15±0.63) min, (4.50±0.56), 0 case, 0 case in the experimental group, and those in the control group were (2.36±0.56) min, (3.83±1.13), 6 cases, 6 cases ( t values were 0.000, 14.435, χ2 values were 72.000, 6.545, P<0.01 or 0.05). Compared with the control group, there were no statistically significant differences in operation time, intraoperative oxygen saturation, catheter fixation direction, incidence of tube tearing, and incidence of postoperative scar ( P>0.05) in the experimental group. Conclusions:Medical waterproof film combined with non-woven tape fixed endotracheal intubation can obviously shorten the preoperative endotracheal intubation fixing time, improve the surgeon satisfaction. At the same time, it is effective in preventing postoperative complications caused by fixation with needle and silk thread.

Sall4, a member of sall4 gene family, plays important roles in embryo development; organogenesis as well as pluripotency maintenance and re-establishment. There are two isoforms of Sall4, Sall4A and Sall4B. The sequence of porcine sall4 gene is still not reported. Because of its distinct role in maintaining the pluripotent state of stem cells, we cloned and sequenced porcine sall4 gene and assessed its expression in pig tissues and embryos. One 2 372 bp nucleotide sequence representing the full-length cDNA of pig sall4 was obtained by 5'and 3'RACE. Analyses of putative protein sequence showed a 70% to 80% identity with isoform Sall4B of human and mouse. Comparing with Sall4A, the identity reduced to 30% to 55% because of the loss of a zinc-finger domain-rich fragment. Assessment of sall4b expression in porcine tissues by Real-time PCR showed that it expressed most strongly in ovary and stronger in spleen, lung, heart and testis. For preimplantation embryos, the expression level was lower in 4-cell embryos compared with other stages. Immuno-fluorescence analysis of Sall4 on porcine preimplantation embryos indicated that it expressed in all the preimplantation embryos and located in nucleus, in blastocyst it preferentially limited in ICM cells. Expression pattern in early embryos suggest that pig sall4b is associated with pluripotency and might be a new and useful reprogramming factor for establishing pig induced pluripotent stem cell lines.
