Objective To compare the effect between unilateral and bilateral upper limb training on motor function of severely hemi-plegic upper limbs in subacute stroke patients after priming robot-assisted training.Methods From September,2023 to December,2024,60 inpatients with hemiplegia after stroke were recruited from Guangdong Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital,and randomly divided into control group(n=30)and experi-mental group(n=30).Both groups first received 30 minutes of upper limb robot-assisted training.Subsequently,the control group received movement-based unilateral upper limb training for 30 minutes,while the experimental group received activity-based bilateral upper limb training for 30 minutes,for three weeks.They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities(FMA-UE),Hong Kong version of the Functional Test for the Hemiplegic Upper Extremity(FTHUE-HK)and modified Barthel Index(MBI)before and after treatment.Results The scores of FMA-UE,FTHUE-HK and MBI improved in both groups after treatment(t>4.020,P<0.01),and all the scores were better in the experimental group than in the control group(t>2.456,P<0.05).Conclusion Activity-based bilateral upper limb training after priming robot-assisted training is more effective on motor function of severely hemiplegic upper limbs in stroke patients.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Xiaochengqi decoction(XCQD)in the treatment of acute pancreatitis(AP)based on network pharmacology and molecular docking.Methods Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP)was used to screen the active components of Rhubarb-Trifoliate-Magnolia officinalis and Swiss Target Prediction(STP)to predict the drug targets.The relevant targets of AP were screened in the databases of DrugBank,GeneCards,Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM),Therapeutic Target Database(TTD)and Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base(PharmGKB).The target protein interaction network was constructed by String software,and the network was drawn by Cytoscape and analyzed by topology,respectively.R3.6.2 was used for Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis.Autodock 4.2.6 and Vina were used for molecular docking.Results A total of 124 related therapeutic targets were obtained.Eleven targets,including retinoblastoma 1(RB1),protein kinase B(PKB),cyclin D1(CCMD1),v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog(MYC),estrogen receptor1(ESR1),reticuloendotheliosis virus oncogene homolog A(RELA),activator protein-1(AP-1),p53,mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPK 1,3 and 14),were found to be the core targets by network topology analysis.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that XCQD could play a role in the treatment of AP by regulating the apoptosis,proliferation and differentiation of pancreatic cells,inhibiting oxidative stress,etc,among which,phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-protein kinase B(PI3K-Akt)signaling pathway is the most important one.In terms of molecular docking,Naringenin-MAPK1,Naringenin-MAPK3,Naringenin-PKB,Nobiletin-p53,Nobiletin-AP-1,Luteolin-CCND1,Luteolin-RELA,Tetramethoxyluteolin-MAPK14,Aloe-emodin-MYC and catechin-ESR1 showed good docking activity due to their low free energy.Conclusion By using network pharmacology and molecular docking,it was confirmed that XCQD had the characteristics of multi-channel and multi-target action and revealed the material basis and mechanism in the treatment of AP,which provided references for the extensive application of classical prescriptions and the theoretical basis for the later basic research.

Objective This study was designed to evaluate the correlations between soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin) and intedeukin-8 (IL-8) levels and the condition and prognosis of severe pneumonia. Methods A total of 67 patients with pneumonia were identified at the intensive care unit and the Respiratory Department of Zibo Central Hospital between April 2007 and March 2008. The patients were divided into two groups according to the severity of pneumonia: severe (Group A, n = 35) and non-severe (Group B, n = 32). Group A was also subdivided into two groups of patiems: patients with Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrorae(MODS) (Group A_1, n = 13) and pa-tients with severe pneumonia alone (Croup A_2, n= 22). Thirty healthy people whose age and sex matched with the patients were enrolled as a control group (Group C). Patients with cancer, who had undergone surgery within the past 1 month, connective tissue disease or acute conplications of diabetes, for example, were excluded from the study. The serum levels of s-Eselectin and IL-8 were measured by EI.ISA, and correlations with Acute physiol-ogy and chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE-Ⅱ)score, Oxygenation index(PaO_2/FiO_2), percentage of poly-morphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)levels were determined. The data were analyzed using t tests, one-way ANOVA, X~2 tests and linear correlation analysis using SAS 8.2 software. Results The sermn levels of sE-selectin and IL-8 in Croup A and Group B were significant higher than Group C (P < 0.05), and the levels in Group A were higher than those in Group B (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the levels of sE-selectin and IL-8 were higher in Group A_1 than in Group A_2(P < 0.001). The correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the levels of sE-selectin and IL-8 in patients with pneumonia (r = 0.781,P < 0.01) ; and both were positively correhted with APACHE-Ⅱ score, PMN% and hs-CRP (P < 0.01), and nega-tively correlated with PaO_2/FiO_2 (P < 0.01).Conclusions sE-selectin and IL-8 levels are important indices for the assessment of the severity of pneumonia in tetras of the condition and prognosis.
