Objective:To review the effect of kinesio taping on the lower limb function of stroke survivors.Methods:PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Library, China′s National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), China Biology Medicine (CBM), Weipu Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database and the WanFang Database were searched for reports of randomized and controlled trials (RCTs) testing the effect of kinesio taping on the lower limb function of stroke survivors published between January 1st, 2000 and October 1st, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened the reports, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias in the studies included. Version 5.3 of the RevMan software was used to analyze the extracted data.Results:A total of 13 RCTs involving 932 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that the experimental group was significantly superior to the control group in terms of the improvement in walking speed and function, balance, fall risk, quadriceps strength, leg triceps strength, and general lower limb motor functioning. Their ability in the activities of daily living was also better on average as was their general life quality.Conclusions:Kinesio taping can improve stroke survivors′ balance, motor ability, muscle strength and life quality.

Objective To discuss a method to show the structure of small mammary gland well by computed radiography(CR).Methods By analyzing 150 radiographs of mammary glands,the results showed that the mammary structure showed well whether or not was depended on the size of mammary gland.Using 24 steps aluminum ladder mimiced the small mammary gland and radiography was taken with various parameters and different imaging plate(IP) shading ways,then processed and printed,after that it was measured by density instrument.Results The display of grey scale of 24 steps aluminum ladder was improved if shading 10~15 mm margin of the IP by collimator or shading the central by a square cuprum plate with 22 mm length and 0.2 mm thickness.Radiography of small mammary gland by the same way was performed and the mammary structure was also showed well.Conclusion Shading the exposing areas properly by collimator or cuprum plate during CR can apparently improve the display of small mammary structure.

AIM: To study the inhibitory effect of IGF binding protein-4(IGFBP-4),especially in corporation with heparin on the pathopoiesis of insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) in alveolitis and fibrosis.METHODS: The diploid human embryonic lung(HEL) fibroblasts were incubated respectively with control,100 ?g/L IGF-1,100 ?g/L IGF-1+100 ?g/L IGFBP-4,100 ?g/L IGF-1+200 ?g/L IGFBP-4,100 ?g/L IGF-1+100 ?g/L IGFBP-4+100 ?g/L heparin,100 ?g/L IGF-1 + 100 ?g/L IGFBP-4+200 ?g/L heparin,100 ?g/L IGF-1+100 ?g/L heparin,100 ?g/L IGF-1+200 ?g/L heparin for 24 h.Then the content of glucose transporter-4(GLUT-4),hexokinase-2(HK-2),collagen-4 and elastin were detected,respectively.RESULTS: Compared with control group,HK-2,GLUT-4,elastin and collagen-4 expressed in IGF-1 group were increased obviously.The expression in the group of IGFBP-4 plus IGF-1 was more than that in IGF-1 group.However,all expression was depressed strikingly when heparin was added.CONCLUSION:(1) IGF-1 apparently stimulates HK-2,GLUT-4,elastin and collagen-IV secretions from lung fibroblasts.(2) The intact IGFBP-4 associated with heparin can inhibit the pathopoiesis of IGF-1.

Objective To explore the effects of music therapy and massage on the quality of newborn hearing screening. Methods One hundred and twenty neonates were equally divided according to their registration number: those with even numbers in the experiment group and those with odd number in the control one. Both groups were treated with music therapy. In the experiment group, massage was added by specially trained nurses on the basis of music therapy. The two groups were compared in terms of neonatal hearing test and screening results. Result In the experiment group, the excellence rate of neonatal hearing test and the success rate of screening were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0 . 05 ) . Conclusion The music therapy and massage in the neonatal hearing screening can improve the quality of newborn hearing screening.

Objective To explore the prevalence of hypertension in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS).Methods Ninety snoring children were enrolled and stayed in sleeping monitor unit for a night.24 h ambulatory blood pressure(ABP)monitoring and polysomnography were simultaneously carried out. The children were classified depending of [Apnea Hypopnea Index(AHI≥5)] as OSAS group and(AHI

The superoxide anion radical (Of) produced in the alkaline dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) system was directly measured by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) at low temperature. This reaction was used as a model system for generating O2-. Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilousla, Paeonia laetiflora, Angelica sincnsis and Sophora flavescens, traditional natural medicines which have the effect of delaying anility, were added into the model system to observe their intensifying or inhibiting effect on EPR signals of O2. These results suggest that these traditional natural medicines have the mostly eliminating effect on Of produced in the alkaline DMSO system.

The effects of qi-tonics and blood-activating decoction on acute myocardial infarction and ischemia-reperfusion induced arrhythmias were studied in anaesthetized open chest SD rats. Three days before coronary artery occlusion, the qi-tonics and blood-activating decoction was perfused into the stomach of the rats in the experimental group (10 ml/kg weight) once a day, and 4d later, the coronary artery was occluded in anaesthetized open chest rats. The results demonstrated that qi-tonics and blood-activating decoction could reduce significantly the incidence and severity of arrhythmias caused by myocardial infarction and ischemia-reperfusion. The qi-tonics and blood-activating decoction could decrease the amount of the superoxide anion radicals (O2-) produced in the alkaline dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) system measured by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) at low temperature. The effect of qi-tonics and blood-activating decoction on O2-may be one of the mechanisms for its antiarrhythmic effect during reperfusion.

AIM: To explore the anti-tumor effect and the mechanism of dihydroarteannuin in C57BL/6J mice with lewis lung cancer. METHODS: Fifty C57BL/6J mice subcutaneously planted with 3LL lung cancer cells (2?106) were randomly divided into 5 groups: blank control group, same volume of normal saline group, positive control DDP group, low, middle and high dose dihydroarteannuin groups. Changes of body weight and inhibitory rate of tumor in each group were observed. The cell cycle and apoptosis rates were analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The body weights were decreased in middle and high dose group compared with NS group and the inhibitory rate of tumor were 53.50% and 59.24% respectively. FCM assay indicated that Dihydroarteannuin could induce apoptosis of lung cancer cell. At the same time, the number of G0/G1 and G2/M phase cells was decreased. Most of the cells were arrested in S1 phase. CONCLUSION: Dihydroarteannuin has obviously effect on anti-tumor in C57BL/6J mice with lung cancer. Its possible mechanism might be involved in inducing cancer cell apoptosis.

Diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) is an efficient and noninvasive tool to investigate the characteristics and functions of white matter fiber tracts,and it can be used to study the relationship between the structure and function in the nervous system,the plasticity and damage repair of visual development,abnormalities of the white matters that relate to the visual pathways.Recently,the quantification of white matter fiber tracts from the lateral geniculate bodies to the occipital lobe visual cortex using DTI offers morphological information for the function and structure of the white matters during visual development.Some studies attempt to compare the DTI outcomes and tractography between amblyopic children and normal children so as to better display the variations of optic radiation in children with amblyopia,and to evaluate the relationship between structure and function of the white matters.DTI becomes an important supplementary research approach in these fields.This paper reviews the application of DTI in visual development and amblyopic eyes.
