Objective To investigate the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS)combined with resistance training on the performance of college students completing pull-ups,and explore the potential mechanisms underlying the effects of training intervention from the perspective of neuromuscular activity control.Methods A total of 25 male college student volunteers were randomly divided into the tDCS combined with resistance training group(experiment group)and resistance training group(control group).Twelve subjects in the control group received a lat pull-down strength training intervention lasting for 8 weeks,with 4 sets of 12 movement repetitions each,3 times per week.Thirteen subjects in the experimental group received a 20-minute tDCS before the lat pull-up resistance training intervention.Lat pull-down isometric maximal voluntary contraction(MVC)force,lat pull-down maximal repetitions under 80%one-repetition maximum(1RM)loading,and conventional pull-up exercise were tested before and after the training intervention.Surface electromyography(sEMG)signals of the main exertion muscles of the upper limb were recorded during the pull-up exercise test.Results After the training intervention,the number of pull-ups completed by the experimental group and control group increased by 1.74 times and 1.42 times,respectively.Subjects in both groups showed significant improvements in their MVC and lat pull-down maximal repetitions under 80%1RM loading.However,there were no statistical differences in these indicators between groups.Activation levels of the agonist muscles brachioradialis,posterior deltoid,and pectoralis major were significantly decreased after the training compared to those before training for both groups.In addition,the coactivation level of the antagonist triceps brachii muscle in the experimental group significantly decreased from 0.50±0.22 to 0.37±0.09 after the training,while there was no significant change in the control group before and after the intervention.Conclusions Eight-week tDCS combined with resistance training and resistance training alone can significantly improve the pull-up performance of college students,which may be related to the fact that both types of training can significantly improve the active muscle contraction capacity.Combined with resistance training,tDCS is more effective in decreasing the coactivation level of triceps brachii during pull-ups and increasing the contraction efficiency of elbow joint muscles.

3.Basic and clinical research of lymphocytic variant hypereosinophilic
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2016;34(9):705-709
Eosinophil disorders are a range of heterogeneous diseases, which manifest as persistent increase of eosinophile granulocyte in blood and tissue, and may cause microenvironment change and irreversible chronic organ damage. According to World Health Organization, eosinophil diseases were divided into hypereosinophilia (HE) and hypereosinophilia syndrome (HES) by whether the organ is involved. Besides familial HE, HE were also divided into secondary (reactive) HE, primary (clonal/neoplastic) HE, and idiopathic HE. Lymphocytic variant HE is a special kind of secondary HE. With the study of the molecular mechanism of lymphocytic variant HE, the diagnosis is gradually clear. Moreover, some targeted therapeutic drugs, such as anti IL-5 monoclonal antibody (Mepolizumab) and anti CD 52 monoclonal antibody (Alemtuzumab) were also appeared. In this paper, the current basic and clinical researches of lymphocytic variant HE are reviewed.

Objective To summarize our experience in the modified total cystectomy and neobladder in patients with invasive bladder cancer.Methods Twenty one male patients with invasive bladder cancer were treated with modified total cystectomy and neobladder.Reconstruction of the lower urinary tract using modifiled ileal neobladder(in 17 patients)and sigmoid neobladder(in 4 patients)were performed.The median age of the patients was 62 years.The patients were followed up for 1-4 years.Clinical outcomes of these patients was evaluated,including the function of the neobladder,urinary function,renal function,serum electrolytes and QOL.Results There was no surgical mortality.The operating time was 3.5-6.5 h(mean,4.5 h).Blood transfusion was required in 4 cases.Fifteen patients(97 % had voluntary control of urination at daytime and 6 at night.They were functional to control urination 3-6 months after operation.Hydronephrosis to certain extent occurred in 5 patients,but was recovered after 6-8 months.There were one case of intestinal obstruction and one case of metabolic acidosis.Residual urinary volume was 30 ml in 1 cases and 40 ml in another.Conclusions Modified total cystectomy and neobladder is an ideal technique to treat invasive bladder cancer with good clinical outcomes of tumor control,high life quality,few severe complications and good urination control.
