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 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.

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 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.

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.

Objective To explore the effect of erlotinib in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)in stage ⅢA before operation and the relation with the rate of resection,good operability and postoperative complications.Methods 31 patients with NSCLC in stage ⅢA in group A were treated with erlotinib before operation;34 patients with NSCLC in stage ⅢA in group B only were treated with operation.Results The condition of 64.5%patients were improved.The operability in group A was more than that in group B(P=0.008),the good operability in group A was more than that in group B(P=0.011),the postoperative complications do not have statistical significance (P=0.07).Conclusion The erlotinib can increase the rate of resection in patients with NSCLC in stage ⅢA,and increase good operability in patients with NSCLC in stage ⅢA,but not increase the postoperative complications.

To find a new method to identify Mori Cortex and its adulterants by analysis their ITS2 sequence of barcode,total genomic DNA was isolated from Mori Cortex and its adulterants. Nuclear DNA ITS2 sequences were amplified,and purified PCR products were sequenced. Sequence assembly and consensus sequence generation were performed using the CodonCode Aligner V3.0. The Kimura 2-Parameter (K2P) distances were calculated us-ing software MEGA 4.0. Identification analyses were performed using BLAST1, Nearest Distance and neighbor-joining (NJ) methods. The results showed the intra-specific genetic distance of Mori Cortex was 0, which were lower than inter-specific genetic distances between Mori Cortex and its closely related species (0.003-0.343). The ITS2 region is an efficient barcode for identification of Mori Cortex and its closely related species, which provides a scientific basis for fast and accurate identification and new method of Mori Cortex.

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.

Objective To evaluate the effects of facial nerve reconstruction surgery by reviewing the clinical information and follow-up results of 42 cases.Methods The clinical data of 42 patients who were diagnosed as facial schwannoma and received tumor resection and facial nerve reconstruction simultaneously from January 2004 to December 2015 in our department were studied.The surgeries included anastomosis between the two faical nerves(3 cases), facial nerve transplantation(4 cases), Hypoglossal/masseteric-facial nerve anastomosis(27 cases) and cross-facial nerve graft(8 cases).We evaluated the facial nerve function using H-B grade and Fisch score post-operation (1 week, 3 months,6 months and 1 year after surgery).Results The Fisch scores were significantly different between 1 week and 3 months, 3 months and 6 months post-operation for patients received cross-facial nerve graft.The facial nerve function became better as time went by.While there were no difference between 6 months and 1 year post-operation.On the other hand, the scores were significantly different between 6 months and 1 year post-operation for patients received hypoglossal/masseteric facial nerve anastomosis.Conclusion Most patients received tumor section and facial nerve reconstruction simultaneously could gain good results, it took a long time for the facial nerve function to return to a stable state and some of them were still in recovering 1 year after surgery.
