Objective To investigate the unmet needs for assistive technology for people with physical disabilities in Chengdu,and analyze the related factors. Methods From November,2023 to March,2024,the persons with physical disabilities in Chengdu were selected from Sichuan Individuation service platform,and investigated using World Health Organization rapid Assistive Tech-nology Assessment. Results A total of 558 questionnaires were set up,and 527 effective questionnaires retured.26.8%of them reported un-met needs for aids,with the highest need for mobility aids(66.0%).Lack of support(54.9%),high price(26.3%)and lack of knowledge about aids(20.3%)were the main reasons for not obtaining the aids they needed.Loss of spouse(OR=3.615),serious mobility impairment(OR＞2.926)and serious self-care impairment(OR＞2.781)were the risks of unmet needs for aids. Conclusion It is important to popularize policies and products of aids,pay attention to personal adaptation for people with different barriers,and strengthen the service system,to meet the needs of people with disabilities.

Objective     To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of da Vinci robot with totally no tube (TNT) versus subxiphoid video-assisted thymectomy surgery (SVATS) in the treatment of thymic tumors. Methods     From 2019 to 2021, a retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with thymic tumor resection in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command. All patients underwent total thymectomy and mediastinal fat removal, and they were divided into a TNT group and a SVATS group according to the operation method. The intraoperative blood loss, conversion rate, postoperative visual analogue score (VAS), postoperative hospital stay time and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results     We finally included 435 patiets. There were 168 patients with 83 males and 85 females at an average age of 61.920±9.210 years in the TNT group and 267 patients with 147 males and 120 females at an average age of 61.460±8.119 years in the SVATS group. There was no death or postoperative myasthenic crisis in both groups. There was no statistical difference in postoperative hospital stay (1.540±0.500 d vs. 3.400±0.561 d, P=0.000), intraoperative blood loss (13.450±5.498 mL vs. 108.610±54.462 mL, P=0.000), postoperative 24 h VAS score (4.960±1.757 points vs. 3.600±1.708 points, P=0.000), or postoperative complication rate (3.0% vs. 11.6%, P=0.001). Conclusion     TNT is a more efficient, safe, and effective surgical approach for treating thymic tumors, which can shorten hospital stay time and reduce postoperative complications. However, SVATS can minimize postoperative pain.

Objective:To compare the perioperative outcomes and safety of percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) and retrograde ureteral stenting (RUS) in the treatment of acute obstructive upper urinary tract infection.Methods:A comprehensive search was performed on the MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify relevant literatures. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to August 2022. Inclusion criteria: ①Randomized controlled trial (RCT) of PCN and RUS in the treatment of acute obstructive upper urinary tract infection; ②Studies provided accurate data for analysis, including the total number of subjects and the results of each index; ③The full text of the study was available, and different literatures published in the same cohort were included in the newly published data. ④The observation indexes included the time for the recovery of body temperature, creatinine, leukocyte, operation, radiation exposure, postoperative fever, postoperative pain, and the incidence of postoperative fistulotomy or stent displacement. Exclusion criteria: ①non-RCT study; ②unable to obtain the full text. Two researchers independently screened the literature and evaluated the literature quality, and all the statistical data were analyzed by RevMan5.3 software.Results:Seven trials enrolled 727 patients were included in the meta-analysis, 412 in the PCN group and 315 in the RUS group included. Meta-analysis revealed that the advantages of PCN were lower incidence of postoperative hematuria ( OR=0.54, 95% CI 0.30-0.99, P=0.040) and lower incidence of insertion failure ( OR=0.42, 95% CI 0.21-0.81, P=0.010), but the fluoroscopy time of RUS group was shorter than that of PCN group ( MD=0.31, 95% CI 0.14-0.48, P<0.01). Moreover, there was no significant difference in time to normalization of temperature, time to normalization of creatinine, time to normalization of WBC, operative time, postoperative fever, postoperative pain, postoperative nephrostomy tube or stent slippage rate between the two surgical methods( P>0.05). Conclusions:The radiation exposure time of PCN was longer than that of RUS, but the incidence of postoperative hematuria and catheterization failure was lower than that of RUS.

Objective To analyze the gait kinematics parameters of patients with unilateral leg amputation after wearing prosthesis using the computer assisted rehabilitation environment (CAREN) gait assessment system,and the reasons for the differences.Methods Nine patients with unilateral mid-leg amputation were selected as the prosthesis group,and 11 healthy subjects were selected as the standard group.The gait kinematics parameters of the two groups were collected,processed and analyzed by using the CAREN gait evaluation system.Results The gait phase index of the prosthetic limb group was (0.88±0.04).Significant differences were observed between the prosthetic and healthy limbs in terms of step length,stance phase percentage,maximum hip extension angle and maximum knee flexion angle,maximum dorsiflexion and plantar flexion angle of the ankle joint during the stance phase,as well as the dorsiflexion angle of ankle joint during heel strike to the ground (P＜0.05).Moreover,there were significant differences between the affected limbs of the prosthetic limb group and limbs of the standard group in terms of the walking speed,gait cycle,stride length,percentage of stance phase,hip flexion angle,knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion during heel strike,maximum hip extension and flexion angle,maximum dorsi-and plantar-flexion of ankle joint during stance phase (P＜0.05).Conclusion The relative symmetry of the gait of the unilateral leg amputee is (0.88±0.04),with their kinematics parameters of the prosthetic limb significantly weaker than those of the contralateral side and the healthy controls.

OBJECTIVE:To study the preventive effect of Qingnao tablet on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,Naoluotong capsule group (positive control, 0.05 g/kg),Qingnao tablet high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups(1.52,0.76,0.38 g/kg),10 in each group. Rats in all ad-ministration groups were intragastrically given relevant medicines,rats in sham operation group and model group were intragastrical-ly given equal volume of sodium carboxymethylcellulose solution,once a day,for 5 d. After 1 h of last administration,all rats were induced for cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model by suture-occluded method except for sham operation group. After 22 h of ischemia-reperfusion,neurological function deficit scoring was conducted;the pathological changes of the hippocampus were ob-served;superoxide dismutase (SOD),adenosine triphosphate (ATP),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)levels in brain tissue were measured. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,rats in model group appeared dif-ferent degrees of neurological deficits(score declined),sparse neurons,irregularly arranged in hippocampus as well as other patho-logical changes;ATP,SOD levels in brain tissue were decreased(P<0.01),LDH,TNF-α levels were increased(P<0.01). Com-pared with model group,neurological function deficit scores in Qingnao tablet doses groups were increased(P<0.05),neurologi-cal deficits were improved. Except for sham operation group,brain tissue indexes in other administration groups were significantly improved(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Qingnao tablet can increase ATP and SOD levels in brain tissue homogenate of model rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion,decrease LDH and TNF-α levels,and obviously improve rats'cerebral ischemia-re-perfusion injury.

Secretory anti-gp96 scFv fragment was expressed in Pichia pastoris to obtain a small molecule antibody that specifically recognizes heat shock protein gp96. The gp96-scFv fragment gene was synthesized and cloned to Pichia pastoris expression plasmid pPICZa-A. Pichia pastoris X33 was electroporated with the linearized recombinant expression vector, and expression of gp96-scFv fragment was induced by methanol. The His-tagged recombinant protein was then purified by affinity chromatography and analyzed with SDS-PAGE and Western blotting assays. The biological activities of recombinant gp96-scFv fragment were determined by Western blotting, Immunofluorescence, ELISA and FACS assays. The gp96-scFv fragment was expressed successfully in Pichia pastoris. About 50 mg of recombinant protein could be purified from 1 liter of the Pichia pastoris culture supernatant. Its molecular weight was about 15 kDa. The gp96-scFv fragment could specifically bind to gp96 protein by Western blotting, immunofluorescence, ELISA and FACS analyses. Pichia pastoris-expressed gp96-scFv fragment specifically recognizes gp96 protein, which could be used for Western blotting, Immunofluorescence, ELISA and FACS analyses.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of salvianolate on rats with postoperative intestinal adhesion and to explore the prevention mechanism. METHODS: Forty SD male rats with intestinal adhesion were randomly divided into four groups: untreated group, low-dose salvianolate-treated group (12 mg/kg), medium-dose salvianolate-treated group (24 mg/kg) and high-dose salvianolate-treated group (48 mg/kg), with another ten SD male rats as normal control. Intraperitoneal injection of glucose was administered to the rats in the normal control group and the untreated group, and intraperitoneal injection of salvianolate was administered to the rats in the low-, medium- and high-dose salvianolate-treated groups. They were all treated for 8 days and once a day. On the eighth day after surgery the blood samples of each group were collected. Grades of intestinal adhesion were ranked by macroscopic observation. The adhesive tissues between viscera and belly wall were taken for pathological observation. The levels of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Salvianolate can significantly reduce the extent of postoperative intestinal adhesion, obviously decrease the levels of IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and inhibit the hyperplasy of fibrous connective tissue. However, there was no significant impact on the level of IL-4. CONCLUSION: Salvianolate can reduce the extent of postoperative intestinal adhesion, decrease the expression of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha and inhibit the hyperplasy of fibrous connective tissue. This may be the mechanism of salvianolate in preventing intestinal adhesion.
