BACKGROUND: Physical therapy is an effective treatment for movement disorder caused by central nerve system injury, while incorrect rehabilitative method will exacerbate the movement disorders in patients.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of physical therapy on movement and daily activity of the patients suffering from brain injury.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study based on patients with a confirmativediagnosis.SETTING: Rehabilitation department in a university hospital.PARTICIPANTS: From September 2001 to August 2002, 78 patients hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Department of the Hospital Affiliated to Luzhou Medical College, with hemiplegia caused by brain injury, were selected into this study. The patients with severe brain injury, severe understanding disability, and severe heart diseases, lung diseases and kidney diseases were excluded.METHODS: The eligible patients were divided into two groups: the physical therapy group(48 patients) and the control group(30 patients) . All the patients in these two groups received medication and the hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), while the patients in the physical therapy group received an extra physical therapy.MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: A Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA) and a modified barthel index(MBI) were adopted to evaluate the pre-and post-treatment statuses of the patients in these two groups.RESULTS: No significant difference in age, sex and disease course between the physical therapy group and the control group was found. In the physical therapy group, the FMA scale before and after the therapy were 40.43 ± 21.78 and 68.35 ±23.39, and the corresponding MBI scale were 32.82 ± 17.40 and 78.84 ± 25.31 respectively. In the control group,meanwhile, the FMA scales were 41.71 ± 19. 13 and 51.48 ± 22.58, and the MBI scales were 33.02 ± 12.48 and 56.65 ± 26.53. Before the therapy,comparison of FMA and MBI between the two groups showed no significant difference. While after the therapy, significant difference of FMA and MBI between the two groups could be confirmed( t = 2. 14, 2.21, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Physical therapy could apparently enhance the rehabilitation of movement ability in patients with brain injury.

Objective To investigate the changes and roles of the long non-coding RNA (IncRNA)during the reprogramming of human induced pluripotent stem cells. Methods Agilent Human lncRNA (4 × 180K) chip was used to check the expression of lncRNA in somatic cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Compared with differentially expressed lncRNA in somatic cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, lncRNA was selected that may play an important role during the reprogramming of human pluripotent stem cells. Results The lncRNA expression profiles in induced pluripotent stem cells were similar to embryonic stem cells, but were different from the somatic cells. A total of 3 156 differentially expressed lncRNAs were found between stem cells and somatic cells by cluster analysis, and 222 differentially expressed lncRNAs were found during the reprogramming process of human pluripotent stem cells by biological analysis. Conclusion lncRNA may play an important role in reprogramming process of human pluripotent stem.

Objective To establish a method of isolation, purification and identification of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells (AEC- K ) from neonate piglet lungs of 1 ~ 3 days old and to investigate effects of proinflammatory cytokines on expression of growth factors (GFs). The yield, viability and purity of AEC- Ⅱ obtained using different enzyme digestion and purifying methods were compared. Methods After the first 24-hour culture of AEC- Ⅱ ,the media containing interleukin (IL)-1β,IL-6 and IGF-Ⅰ at different concentrations were used to culture AEC-Ⅱ for another 48 hours. And then the cells were counted and the expressions of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-Ⅰ ), platelet-derived growth factor ( PDGF), surfactant proteins (SP) -A and SP-B mRNA were determined by real time PCR. Results A significantly higher yield of AEC-Ⅱ was achieved by digesting the lung with 30 unit/ml elastase and 0.1 % trypsin at 37 t for 20 min, the yield was (5.33 ±0.54) × 106 after adjusted by the weight of lung and heart (P <0.01). The number of purified AEC-II obtained by immune adherence method was (38.0 ±28.0) × 106 perpiglet which was higher than by the method of percoll. The optimal phenotype maintenance time of AEC- Ⅱ was the first 24~96 hours in the primary culture. With increasing concentrations of IL-1 β and IL-6, there were decreased proliferation and expression of SP-A and IGF-Ⅰ mRNA in the cultured AEC- Ⅱ ,but SP-B mRNA expression was not affected. Both AEC-Ⅱ proliferation and expression of SP-A, SP-B mRNA decreased significantly after cultured with anti-IGF-Ⅰ. Conclusion In a new model of cultured AEC-Ⅱ from neonate piglets, IL-1β and IL-6 inhibited AEC- Ⅱ proliferation and SP-A mRNA expression through IGF-Ⅰ -dependent mechanisms.

Objective To compare the clinical therapeutic effects of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) and continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) for treatment of patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).Methods A prospective observation was conducted, seventy patients with MODS admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College from September 2013 to December 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into a CVVH group and a CVVHDF group according to different treatment, 35 cases in each group. In the CVVH group, the ultrafiltration fluid flow rate was set at 1800 mL/h, while in the CVVHDF group, the flow rate was set at 2000 mL/h for both substitution fluid and dialysate, and the blood flow of the two groups was 150-180 mL/min. The changes of creatinine (SCr), urea nitrogen (BUN), pH value, HCO3-, helper T cell (Th1, Th2) and Th1/Th2 ratio were compared between the two groups before and after treatment for 24, 48 and 72 hours.Results With the extension of time, SCr, BUN were reduced in both groups after treatment compared to those before treatment, 72 hoursafter treatment they reached the lowest value, and the degree of change in CVVHDF group was more significant than that in CVVH group [SCr (μmol/L): 150.62±32.09 vs. 180.41±30.52, BUN (mmol/L): 7.31±2.19 vs. 9.06±2.36. allP < 0.05], after treatment; the pH value, HCO3- level in the two groups had a tendency at first elevated and then lowered, 48 hours after treatment they reached the peak values, compared with those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant [CVVH group: the pH value 7.42±0.08 vs. 7.25±0.10, HCO3- (mmol/L) was 22.49±5.11 vs. 15.65±4.16; CVVHDF group: pH value 7.41±0.04 vs. 7.24±0.11, HCO3- (mmol/L) 23.24±4.78 vs. 15.65±4.16, allP < 0.05], 72 hours after treatment, they began reduced (CVVH group: pH value, HCO3- were 7.39±0.09, 22.35±4.91 respectively, CVVHDF group: pH value, HCO3- were 7.38±0.06, 23.13±4.61 respectively), but they were still significantly higher than those before treatment, and at each time point compared between the two groups, no statistical significant difference was seen (allP > 0.05). With the extension of therapeutic time, Th1, Th1/Th2 in two groups were gradually elevated after treatment, and 72 hours after treatment they reached the peak values; Th2 showed a trend of gradual decrease and after 72 hours of treatment it reached the lowest value, and the changes in CVVHDF group were more significant than those in CVVH group [Th1 (×10-2): 1.51±0.12 vs. 1.21±0.11, Th2 (×10-2): 1.64±0.65 vs. 1.70±0.18, Th1/Th2: 0.91±0.14 vs. 0.71±0.15, allP < 0.05].Conclusion Both CVVH and CVVHDF can effectively remove inflammatory mediators and metabolic products, adjust the balance of acid and base, regulate immune system in the body of patients with MODS, and the CVVHDF is more effective than CVVH.
