Objective To study the effect of S2-protein from SARS coronavirus on the chloride channel currents in A549 cells and its possible cellular mechanisms. Methods The chloride channel currents were recorded in cultured A549 cells by using the whole-cell mode of patch clamp techniques. The experiments were divided into four groups: Control group: chloride channel currents were recorded in untreated A549 cells; S2 protein group: currents were recorded in A549 cells treated with S2 protein (final concentration 50?g/ml); calphostin C + S2 protein group: the effect of S2 protein on the currents in A549 cells pretreated with calphostin C (0.1mmol/L) for 10 minutes; SB203580+S2 protein group: the effect of S2 protein on the currents was examined with the solution containing SB203580 (20?mol/L). Results The currents of chloride channel in normal A549 cells showed outwardly rectifying properties and were insensitive to both TEA and amiloride, but were significantly inhibited both by SITS and DIDS (P

Objective To study the relationship between the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and components of metabolic syndrome.Methods A total of 10 461 working and retired employees aged 20 to 90 years in a Petrochemical Corporation in Ningbo were included.Body mass index ( BMI),waist circumference,blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,blood lipid profile,serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH),free thyroxine ( FT4 ),and free triiodothyronine (FT3 ) were measured in all subjects. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according to the International Diabetes Federation(IDF) criteria.Results ( 1 ) The prevalences of metabolic syndrome and overall thyroid dysfunction were 10.2％ and 4.6％,respectively. ( 2 ) 18.1％ petrochemical employees had abdominal obesity with at least one component of metabolic syndrome.( 3 ) There was no significant difference in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the groups with lowered,normal,and elevated TSH. (4) Logistic regression analysis revealed that lowered high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) was associated with lowered TSH ( OR =0.313,95％ CI 0.184-0.530 ),and raised triglyceride was associated with elevated TSH ( OR =0.767,95％ CI 0.595-0.991 ). ( 5 ) There were significant associations between serum TSH levels and lipid parameters such as total cholesterol in males,triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in females,and HDL-C in both genders.Conclusion The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was not associated with central obesity,hypertension,and hyperglycemia.Lipid disorder was correlated with serum TSH levels.

BACKGROUND:Stimulation of the pudendal nerve as a target can improve neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury, by adjusting the frequency, intensity, pulse width, as wel as regulating synergistic effect of detrusor and urethral sphincter. OBJECTIVE: To assess the research status of electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve in the treatment of neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury. METHODS: We searched the folowing databases for articles addressing electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve for neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury: PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controled Trials (CENTRAL), China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and VIP Database. The search was updated to July 2014, and the reference lists of the identified studies were manualy screened for additional studies. The study selection and data extraction were independently conducted by two reviewers. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fourteen studies were included in this review. We derived the folowing points by analyzing the included studies: Electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve has positive effects on rehabilitation of neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury; pudendal nerve electrical stimulation can modulate the coordination of the detrusor and the external urethral sphincter, improve the bladder compliance and restore bladder function by regulating pudendal-to-bladder reflex and spinal reflexes to the bladder. Electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve may be potentialy implemented as a feasible treatment of neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury. More high quality researches should be conducted to clarify the efficacy and the potential active mechanisms of pudendal nerve electrical stimulation for neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury because the number of clinical reports published in this study area is limited, neurophysiological mechanisms underlying biphasic regulation of frequency on bladder function are not wel known, and which intensity of pudendal nerve electrical stimulation is more effective than others for the treatment of neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury remains unknown.

Objective To investigate the distribution of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of-251 (rs4073) in cytokine interleukin 8 gene promoter region and +781 (rs2227306) in the first intron in Nantong area population, to explore the correlation between the genotypes of these sites and the risk of suffering hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to analyze the interaction between the genotypes and different exposure factors inducing the occurrence of HCC. Methods By using case-control study and restriction fragment length polymorphism polymerase chain reaction (RFLP-PCR) technique, the genotypes of IL-8 gene-251 site and+781 site were classified. Results (1) In individuals with-251 heterozygous mutation genotype AT the risk of developing HCC increased (OR=1.99, 95%CI: 1.01-3.85), and in individuals with +781 mutation genotype CT and TT the risk of developing HCC increased (+781 CT genotype, OR=1.78, 95%CI:1.03-3.1; +781 TT genotype, OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.01-2.62). (2) In individuals with -251 and +781 AT-CT, TT-CT, AT-CC combined genotypes the risk of developing HCC increased (AT-CT combined genotype, OR=2.10,95%CI:1.52-2.9;TT-CT combined genotype, OR=3.33, 95%CI: 1.01-10.50; AT-CC combined genotype, OR=3.67, 95%CI:2.28-5.90). (3)SNP of-251 had positive interactions with drinking, HBV infection and family history of HCC in the occurrence of HCC, while negative interactions existed between SNP of this site and exposure factors, including age, gender and smoking, in the occurrence of HCC. SNP of +781 had positive interactions with drinking and family history of HCC in the occurrence of HCC, while negative interactions existed between SNP of this site and exposure factors, including age, sex, smoking and HBV infection, in the occurrence of HCC. Conclusion Definite correlation exists between SNP of -251,+781 sites in interleukin 8 gene and the risk of the occurrence of HCC in Nantong area population;and there are interactive effects between SNP of -251, +781 sites in interleukin 8 gene and several exposure factors.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of robot-assisted training on lower extremities of patients with stroke. Methods PubMed, Medline, EMbase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), ISI Web of Knowledge, Ovid, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data and VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals were searched for the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about robot-assisted training for lower extremities of patients with stroke from the date of establishment to March 2013. The bibliographies of the retrieved studies were also searched. 2 independent researchers evaluated the included studies using the risk of bias provided by Cochrane Library. The extracted data were analyzed by RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 12 trials were discovered.Compared with conventional training, the robot-assisted training increased the score of Fugl-Meyer assessment (lower extremity)(WED=3.97, 95%CI: 2.84~5.10, Z=6.89, P<0.00001) and Berg Balance Scale (WED=3.13, 95%CI: 0.80~5.45, Z=2.63, P=0.008). However,the results of stride frequency (WED=8.40, 95%CI: -0.95~17.75, Z=1.76, P=0.08) and speed (WED=0.03, 95%CI: -0.02~0.07, Z=1.18, P=0.24) were not statistically significant. According to the Jadad Score of included studies, 4 of them were of low quality and 8 of them were of high quality. Conclusion The current evidence shows that to some extent, robot-assisted training could improve the lower extremities function.

Objective To explore the method and efficiency of percutaneous transluminal septal tunnet myocardial ablation(PTSTMA) in treatment of 26 cases hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) who were not suitable for conventional technology.Methods Firstly,we used a monorail Balloon which was slightly bigger than the interventricular septal branch of coronary artery and dilated it until posterior septal.After that,an OTW Balloon with larger size than the monorail was used to dilate again until made aventricular septum tunnel.Then,some alcohol was injected and PTSTMA was performed.Finally,we did the other and/or another interventricular septal branch by above method until the left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient (LVOTPG) reduced ≥50％.The clinical indexes of the 26 cases HOCM immediately pest-operation of PTSTMA were observed and the follow up data during short term and metaphase were analyzed.Results The LVOTPG reduced ≥50％ in the26 cases HOCM,immediately after PTSTMA,the LVOTPG reduced from (75.6 ±22.4)mm Hg to (21.4 ± 5.8) mm Hg (t =11.94,P ＜ 0.01).At three months after ablation,the thickness of septal myocardium reduced from (22.8 ± 5.8) ram before ablation to (16.8 ± 4.2) mm(t =4.27,P ＜ 0.01),left atrium dimension reduced from(48.0 ±7.0) mm to (42.0 ±8.6) mm (t =2.76,P ＜0.01).Followed up 6.0to 60.0 months,the patients suffering from chest pain reduced from 14 cases before to 4 cases after the procedure(53.8％ (14/26) vs 15.4％ (4/26),x2 =8.49,P ＜ 0.01),the patients with expiratory dyspnea reduced from 26 cases to 5 cases(100％ (26/26) vs 19.2％ (5/26),x2 =35.22,P ＜ 0.01),NYHA functional class improved from (2.4 ± 0.6) to (1.4 ± 0.7) (t =5.53,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The PTSTMA was a supplemental method of PTSMA on treating HOCM,which was safe and useful during the short term and metaphase.

Objective To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and coronary artery calcification in order to provide theoretical and clinical basis for the prevention and treatment of coronary artery calcification.Methods Ninety hundred and eighty-three cases were selected as our subjects who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from Jan.2010 to Jul.2010 and undergone dual source CT coronary angiography.Of them,419 cases were male(male group),and 564 female (female group).The general information,clinical and biochemical indexes and coronary CTA results were collected.The patients were divided according to the BML Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to analyzed the relationship between BMI and coronary artery calcification,and multiple linear regression analysis was applied to analyzed the relationship between coronary artery calcification and BMI.Results There were significant differences between male group and female group in terms of age,height,body mass,BMI,smoking history,glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),triglyceride (TG),high density lipoprotein (HDL-C),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),serum calcium,with peripheral vascular disease,as well as the baseline drugs,angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEI/ARB),calcium antagonists (CCB),statins compared the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of slight coronary artery calcification in male group and female groups were not statistically significant(x2 =0.714,P =0.398),while the rate of no calcification,severe calcification were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high BMI(regression coefficient was-1.670,OR =0.967,95％ CI =0.953 ～ 0.980,P =0.005),age (regression coefficient was 1.422,OR =4.416,95％ CI:1.015 ～ 16.927,P =0.001),history of hypertension (regression coefficient was 0.128,OR =1.521,95％ CI:1.262 ～ 1.830,P =0.002),history of diabetes mellitus (regression coefficient was 0.364,OR =1.439,95 ％ CI:1.098 ～ 1.885,P =0.008),eGFR (regression coefficient was-0.5420,OR =0.004,95％ CI:0.001-0.019,P =0.014),LVEF (regression coefficient was-1.153,OR =0.316,95％ CI:0.127-0.787,P =0.002) and statins(regression coefficient was-6.745,OR:0.323,95％ CI:0.138-0.754,P =0.032) were correlated with coronary artery calcification.Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that only eGFR(r =0.79,95％ CI:0.69-0.92,P =0.001) was in the equation.Conclusion High BMI is a protective factor for severe coronary artery calcification,but there is on linear correlation between BMI and moderate to severe coronary artery calcification score in patients.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of mirror therapy in treating the upper limbs of patients with stroke.Methods The PUBMED,MEDLINE,EMbase,Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL),ISI Web of Knowledge,OVID,CNKI,VIP and Wanfang Data databases were searched for reports of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of mirror therapy in the treatment of the upper limbs of patients with stroke from the date of establishment of each database to April 2012.The bibliographies of the studies retrieved were also searched.Two independent researchers evaluated the included studies using the risk of bias provided by Cochrane Library.The extracted data were analyzed using RevMan 5.1 software and version 3.6 of the GRAED profiler.Results Reports of 9 trials were discovered.Meta-analysis showed that compared to the group that didn't have visual feedback,mirror therapy did not significantly increase Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) (Upper Limb) scores after 4 weeks of treatment compared with groups that did not have visual feedback.Mirror therapy also did not significantly increase average scores on the action research arm test (ARAT) after 6 weeks of treatment.Mirror therapy did,however,increase average Brunnstrom stage scores for the hand after 4 weeks of treatment and at a 6-month follow-up.Mirror therapy did not increase average scores on the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) after 4 weeks of treatment,but increased MAS scores were observed at a 6-month follow-up compared with a group which had no visual feedback.Mirror therapy increased functional independence measure (FIM) self-care scores after 4 weeks of treatment and at a 6-month follow-up,and it also increased modified Barthel index (MBI) scores after 4 weeks of treatment.In the GRADE system,the scores of Brunnstrom stages for the hand after 4 weeks of treatment were of moderate quality,but those scores and the MAS scores at the 6-month follow-up were of low quality.The FIM selfcare scores after 4 weeks and at the 6-month follow-up and the MBI scores measured after 4 weeks were of very low quality.Conclusion This evidence shows that mirror therapy can improve upper limb function and quality of daily life to some extent after stroke.However,because of the limitations of the previous studies such as poor quality,different end points,different rating scales and different courses of stroke,more high-quality,randomized,controlled trials with larger samples are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of mirror therapy in the rehabilitation of upper limb function after stroke.

Objective To investigate the mechanism and prevention of syncope on patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Methods Seventy-six cases of HOCM (obstruction group) were successfully operated by PTSMA and oral ACEI/ARB. After six months , they were treated with β-receptor blocker. Another 29 patients (control group) with LVOTPG < 50 mmHg or < 70 mmHg after pharmacologic stress test (PST), have being treated with β-receptor blocker. The results was observed as follow: (1) the difference of between syncope incidence and positive incidence induced by PST in control group; (2) the difference of syncope incidence at half year, a year and admission in control group; (3) the difference of syncope incidence in obstruction group before and after operation; (4) the difference of syncope incidence after six months between two groups at same period; (5) the difference of syncope incidence one year between two groups. Results In control group, the syncope positive incidence induced PST was 55.5%. Treating with medications for half a year , syncope incidence significantly dropped than that on admission (P < 0.05); Obstruction group syncope incidence in the history obviously lower than the control group syncope positive induced PST (P < 0.05), and half a year after takingβ-receptor blocker syncope incidence was significantly dropped than before (P < 0.01). Conclusions The mechanism of syncope with HOCM is not only obstruction but also neuronal reflex. PST is an very useful inspection item for screening the ablation indication, analysis syncope mechanism, and guiding clinical medication.β-receptor blocker is an effective drug on treating and preventing syncope with HCM.
