BACKGROUND:Isokinetic test system has been widely used to evaluate the muscle function levels Whereas.the reports concerning effect of sport training on the development of muscle strength of hip joint in college students using isokinetic testing are few.OBJECTIVE:To assess the extensor and flexor muscle strength of hip joints in college students with isokinetic testing system METHODS:Totally 40 volunteers,including 20 male and 20 female students were selected.Kinitech isokinetic testing system,produced by Australian Kylingk Company,was used to test the flexion and extension muscle of hip ioints as the sequence of centripetal followed by centrifugal.The test speed was 60(°)/s as slow speed,180(°)/a as middle speed,240(°)/s as high speed.Peak torque(PT)and relative values of extension and flexion muscles,total power(TP)and relative total power were measured.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At the respective speed,PT and relative values of female students were greater than that of female students(P＜0.01).Atthe speed of 60,120 and 240(°)/s,flexor PT was smaller than that of extensor PT in male students,which was opposite in the female students,but the difference had no significance(P＞0 05).At the respective speed.TP of males were greater than that of female students(P＜0.01).In male students,TP and relative values of flexor were smaller than extensorat speed of 60(°)/s and 120(°)/s(P＜0.01),and had difference at speed of 240(°)/s(P＜0.05).Infemale students,TP and relative values had significant difference between flexor and extensor at speed of 60(°)/s(P＜0 01)and at speed of 120(°)/sand 240(°)/s(P＜0 05).At the respective speed,PT and relative values,TP and relative values in male students are all greater than females.These values decrease with the speed increasing.At the respective values,values of male students are bigger than females.

Objective To study the relationship between APOBEC3G mRNA level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and serum hepatitis C viral RNA level in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. Methods TaqMan real-time fluorescence relative quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to quantify APOBEC3G mRNA levels in PBMC from 49 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and 31 healthy subjects. The relationship between APOBEC3G mRNA level and hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load was analyzed. SPSS11. 0 statistics software was used for t test and regression analysis. Results APOBEC3G mRNA level in CHC patients [(1.5×10-5±1.9×10-5 ) copy/mL] was significantly lower than that [( 5. 2 × 10-5 ± 5. 5 × 10-5 ) copy/mL] in the healthy control subjects (t=-3.005, P＜0.01). While APOBEC3G mRNA level was not related with HCV viral loads (r=-0.082, P＞0.05). Conclusion HCV has an inhibitive effect on APOBEC3G expression, whereas APOBEC3G doesn't affect HCV replication directly in vivo.

Objective To investigate the effects of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)pathway on isoflurane induced neuronal apoptosis and the proteins expression of phospho-JNK,Bcl-2 and Bax in the hippocampi of neonatal rats.Methods Forty-eight neonatal rats at postnatal day 7 (P7) were randomly assigned into 4 groups:DMSO control group (group D),SP600125 control group (group SP30),isoflurane + DMSO group (group Iso +D),isoflurane + SP600125 group (group Iso + SP30).Rats were exposed to air (control group) or 1.1％ isoflurane (isoflurane group) for 4 h.The JNK inhibitor SP600125 at 30 μg or 12％ DMSO 5 μl was intraventricularly administered 20 min before the exposure.The brains of some rats in each group were perfused and embedded by paraffin 6 h after the exposure.Neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampi CA1 area was detected by TUNEL (n =6).The fresh hippocampi of other rats in each group were dissected 6 h after the exposure and the proteins expression of phospho-JNK,Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blot (n =6).One way ANOVA were used for data analysis among groups.Results The number of TUNEL positive cells in the hippocampal CA1 regions in group Iso +D (135.72 ±21.26 per mm2) increased by 5 folds compared with group D (24.07 ± 1.35 per mm2) (P＜0.01) ;while the number of apoptotic cells in group Iso + SP30 (42.49 ± 5.56 per mm2) decreased by 84％ (P ＜ 0.05)compared with group Iso + D.The expression of phospho-JNK p46 kd in group Iso + D increased by 44.1％ (P ＜0.01),while both phospho-JNK at p46kd and at p54kd in group Iso + SP30 decreased significantly (P＜0.05,P ＜0.01) compared with group Iso + D.The protein expression of Bax increased 1.5 folds (P＜0.05) and Bcl-2 decreased by 42.2％ (P＜0.05) in group Iso + D compared to group D;while SP600125 significantly decreased expression of Bax (P ＜0.05) and increased expression of Bcl-2 (P＜0.01).Conclusion JNK activation contributes to isoflurane-induced neuroapoptosis in the developing brain.Maintaining Bcl-2 expression and inhibiting Bax expression may be involved in the neuroprotective effects of SP600125.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the rate of 235delC mutation in GJB2 gene in patients with idiopathic sudden hearing loss, and to explore its possible correlation with pathogenesis of idiopathic sudden hearing loss. METHOD: Two hundred and thirty-four patients with diagnosis of idiopathic sudden hearing loss in otolaryngology department were recruited as experimental group. Eighty people with normal hearing level were enrolled as control group. Their peripheral blood samples were obtained and genomic DNA was extracted. Using polymerase chain reaction, the coding region of GJB2 gene was amplified, and 235delC mutation is screened for in GJB2 gene by restriction endonuclease. At same time the clinical data of 234 patients was collected to analyze. RESULT: In 234 cases of idiopathic sudden hearing loss, 5 cases were found to have heterozygous 235delC mutation, none of them harbored homozygous 235delC mutation, the 235delC mutation rate was 2.1% (5/234). No 235delC mutation was found in control group. The rate of 235delC mutation in two group showed no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION This research shows that the rate of 235delC mutation in GJB2 is low in patients with idiopathic sudden hearing loss, and suggest that 235delC mutation possible has no correlation with idiopathic sudden hearing loss.

Objective To study the effect of TCM five-tone therapy on chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS).Methods Fifty nine CFS patients were divided into the treatment group(n=30)and the control group(n=29),which received TCM five-tone therapy and common music therapy,respectively for 3 months.Both groups were assessed with fatigue Scale-14,depression status inventory and visual analogue scale.Result After treatment,the treatment group was scored lower than the control group in FS-14,DSI and VAS(all P<0.05).Conclusion TCM five-tone therapy may be more effective in decreasing the CFS patients with fatigue and depression and alleviating their pain symptoms.

The protective roles of alpha-lipoic acid in the rat model of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) 4834bp deletion in inner ear were investigated. Forty female Wistar rats at 4 weeks of age were divided into four groups: group A (D-galactose group, n=10), group B (D-galactose+alpha-lipoic acid group, n=10), group C (alpha-lipoic acid group, n=10), and group D (control group, n=10). Auditory brainstem response (ABR) was used to detect the hearing threshold. Colorimetry was used to analyze activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA). The percentage of mtDNA4834bp deletion in inner ear was identified by real-time PCR. There was no significant difference in ABR threshold shift among all groups. The percentage of mtDNA4834bp deletion in group A was higher than that in other groups, but there was no significant difference in percentage of mtDNA4834bp deletion among groups B, C, and D. The activity of SOD in group A was lower than that in other groups. The concentration of MDA in group A was higher than that in other groups. It was concluded that there was no significant hearing loss when the percentage of mtDNA4834bp deletion was lower than 12.5%. alpha-Lipoic acid could prevent the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced mtDNA4834bp deletion in inner ear of rats.

Objective To explore the effects of estrogen on oxidative stress of the lung tissue induced by acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning. Methods Thirty-two male adult New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into model group and estrogen intervention group, 16 rabbits in each group. The model of lung injury induced by PQ poisoning was reproduced by feeding 16 mg/kg of 20% PQ through gastric tube. The rabbits in estrogen intervention group received intravenous infusion of 5 mg/kg estrogen after PQ challenge for 7 days, and the rabbits in model group received an equal volume of normal saline. Three rabbits in each group were sacrificed at 1, 2 and 3 days respectively after exposure. The lung tissue was harvested, the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA), malondialdehyde (MDA) was determined by thiobarbituric acid (TBA), the mRNA expression of manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and adenosine triphosphatase (ATP) content in mitochondrion was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The pathological changes in lung were observed under light microscopy using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, and the lung injury was evaluated with lung injury score. Results The contents of ROS and MDA in lung within 3 days after PQ poisoning were gradually increased, and MnSOD mRNA expression and ATP content were gradually decreased. Estrogen intervention could significantly reduce the production of ROS and MDA after PQ poisoning [3-day ROS (fluorescence intensity): 161.05±30.04 vs. 188.30±31.80, 3-day MDA (mmol/L): 98.71±0.92 vs. 122.12±1.24], up-regulate MnSOD mRNA expression (integral A value: 3.05±0.90 vs. 1.22±0.24), and increase ATP content in mitochondrion (ng/L: 3.75±0.92 vs. 2.28±0.29) with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.01). In lung tissue after PQ poisoning, congestion, edema, focal pulmonary consolidation, pulmonary interstitial and alveolar space were infiltrated by a large number of neutrophil, alveolar interval were thickened obviously and the above phenomenon were most serious at 3 days after poisoning as shown under optical microscope. Estrogen intervention could significantly improve lung injury as compared with that of model group, and the lung injury score at 3 days was significantly lower than that of model group (11.8±0.7 vs. 13.5±1.0, P < 0.01). Conclusions The oxidative stress indicators in the lung tissue after PQ poisoning were obviously abnormal, the pathological damage was serious with time dependence. The administration of estrogen can reduce acute lung injury after PQ poisoning by reducing the oxidative stress.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the expression of mGluR5 in the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) following unilateral labyrinthectomy (UL). METHOD: Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups. Twenty four animals received unilateral labyrinthectomy while the others maintained labyrinthine well. After setting left labyrinthine, the change of mGluR5 was induced by immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization. RESULT: mGluR5 was increased in lesioned side MVN after unilateral labyrinthectomy. The 12 h post-UL was highest. Then it was decrease in 36 h post-UL, while 7 d post-UL was same as control group. The change of contralateral was same as that in ipsilateral. CONCLUSION UL can induce increase of mGluR5 in the MVN. The reduced resting discharge in the primary vestibular afferents or in the central vestibular neurons may be responsible for the change of mGluR5. However the significance of the change of mGluR1 in the vestibular compensation is still unknown.
