Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2010;16(4):393-394
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods10 patients with COPD received COPD training program. Relapse and ability of life were assessed 6 months after intervention.ResultsRe-admission and stay in hospital were 2-5 times and averaged 15 days respectively before intervention while re-admission and stay in hospital were 1-3 times and averaged 9 days respectively after intervention. Ability of life showed self-care, 0 case; partly self-care, 2 cases; no self-care, 8 cases before intervention while self-care, 5 case; partly self-care, 1 case; no self-care, 4 cases.ConclusionComprehensive rehabilitation can improve the quality of life of patients with COPD.

Activating transcription factor 4 ( ATF4),one of the activating transcription factors,belongs to the cyclic AMP response element binding protein family.The expression of ATF4 is up-regulated by tumor micro-environmental factors.And ATF4 regulates the processes of tumor growth,infiltration,metastasis,apoptosis and drug resistance.Therefore,ATF4 might serve as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

The incidence of pediatric adenoid hypertrophy increases year by year. However, the treatment methods are limited. By now TCM treatment has showed significant clinical efficacy in treating pediatric adenoid hypertrophy. And phlegm could be one of the main pathogenic factors. By collecting relevant literature about TCM treatment for pediatric adenoid hypertrophy, this article summarized the thoughts of treating from phlegm based on the collection and analysis of classification of syndrome and treatment methods guided by the thoughts of treating from phlegm.

Objective To study pharmacological mechanism of Sanshanxiao granules in treating diabetes. Methods The rat model of diabetes was set up by injecting STZ intraabdominally. The modeled diabetic animals were divided into model group, Sanshanxiao group, and Xiaokewan control group. Normal rats were devised as blank-contrasted group. It was observed through several aspects on the level of blood sugar and insulin, activity changes of SOD in serum, contents of MDA and changes of islets of pancreas morphologic contrastly. Results Sanshanxiao granules can reduce blood sugar, stimulate insulin secreted, develop activity of SOD and decrease the contents of MDA obviously (P

Objective:To evaluate the molecular diagnosis marker of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC),the relationship between lymphatic metastasis of central neck compartment PTC,and the opera-tion indication of prophylactic central neck dissection.Methods:We conducted a retrospective study, including 275 PTC patients and detected their BRAF mutation rates during 201 2 and 201 4 and explored the risk factors of the central node lymphatic metastasis by Logistic regression model.Results:Of the 275 PTC patients,224 (81 .5%)were female and 51 (1 8.5%)were male.BRAF mutational rates were 53.8% (1 48 /275)and lymphatic metastasis 57.8% (1 59 /275).Multivariate analysis showed calcifica-tion (ORadjusted =1 .47,95%CI:1 .1 0 -1 .98,P =0.01 ),tumor diameter (ORadjusted =1 .48,95%CI:1 .04 -2.30,P =0.048)and age (ORadjusted =1 .48,95%CI:1 .04 -2.30,P =0.048)were associa-ted with lymphatic metastasis.In stratified analysis,BRAF mutation (ORadjusted =3.1 9,95%CI:1 .1 8 -9.43,P =0.023 )in clear boarder group and BRAF mutation (ORadjusted =4.84,95% CI:1 .68 -1 3.84,P =0.003)in calcification group were more likely to have lymphatic metastases.Conclusion:Central neck metastasis takes up a high ratio in papillary thyroid cancer patients,BRAF mutation in pa-pillary thyroid carcinoma is a characteristic molecular event.Furthermore,patients with calcification un-der ultrasound detection,lower age group and longer tumor diameter are more susceptible to suffer central neck metastasis.Especially for stratified analysis,non-calcified BRAF mutation or BRAF mutation with clear border under ultrasound detection are more susceptible to suffer central neck metastasis,and radical prophylactic central neck dissection should be carried on for these patients.

Objective:To investigatethe transdermal delivery characteristics of methylphenidate hydrochloride (MPH) in vitro. Methods: Characteristics of MPH crossing nude rats skin were studied with Franz diffusion cells. A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was established to determine the concentration of MPH crossed the skin. The permeability coefficient (P), steady state flux (J) and lag time(LT) for MPH through the skin of nude rats treated with various enhancers were compared with those of control. Results: The permeability coefficient increased with the increase of MPH concentration. The penetration of MPH through nude rats skin was obviously enhanced by 8%Azone and 5%propylene glycol (P

Objective:To investigate the relationship between base level of Cyfra21-1,SCCA,TK1 and lung cancer prognosis.Methods: A nested case-control study was conducted.721 lung cancer cases who had no distant metastasis were recruited baseline population from January 2010 to January 2013.About 2 years follow-up,364 cases of death or brain (or multiple) metastasis were identified as case group, and the other 357 cases were included in the control group.The level of serum Cyfra21-1,SCCA,TK1 was detected.The relationship between base level of Cyfra21-1,SCCA,TK1 and lung cancer prognosis were analyzed.Results: The age in the case group was (59.3±10.1),and the control group was (59.0±9.9).There were obvious differences in body mass index,smoking index,pathological type,clinical stage,lymph node metastasis and with chronic diseases between case group and control group(P<0.05),while no difference in pleural effusion,comprehensive treatment etc(P>0.05).There were differences in the base level of Cyfra21-1,SCCA,TK1;and there were differences in Cyfra21-1,SCCA,TK1 distribution between case group and control group(P<0.05).There was difference in the base level of Cyfra21-1(P<0.05),while no differences in SCCA,TK1(P>0.05) in patients with different stages of lung cancer.There were differences in the base levels of Cyfra21-1 and SCCA(P<0.05),while no differences in TK1(P>0.05) in patients with different pathological types of lung cancer.Logistic regression analysis results showed that the OR value of SCCA,TK1 with lung cancer prognosis were respective 7.235(1.674-14.613),5.009(0.973-10.778),5.816(0.879-16.235).Conclusion: The baseline level of Cyfra21-1 can reflect the prognosis of lung cancer patients,while SCCA,TK1 not.

Objective:To test the similarities and differences of shame experience between Chinese and American participants and explore the future research direction of shame in a cross-culture context.Methods:American college students were enrolled by convenient sampling to a semi-construct face-to-face interview about general and specific shame experience in their own culture.No new materials appeared after 8 students were interviewed.Then 8 Chinese college students were paired sampling to participate in the same interview.Finally all the in terview contents were coded according to the emotion,cognition and behavioral reaction of shame experience.Results:Both Chinese and American students reported shame experience with similar intensity in academic,personal relationship,body,group and transference shame situations.The expectations of self,peers,parents,teachers or supervisors could be sources of shame in both eastern and western cultures,and only Chinese students regarded expectation of a specific group as a source of shame.Chinese participants recalled more body reaction when feeling shame and had more cognition process related to the shame experience.Finally,besides the negative results such as avoidance that shame experience brought out,in both cultures,the most important influence of shame was reported to be the positive effects on improving or restricting improper behaviors.Conclusion:The participants from two cultures demonstrate a fairly coherence process of shame experience,and the results support the appraised-based model of self-conscious emotions.
