Objective:
To explore the effects of group sports game intervention on social ability and quality of life of children with austism spectrum disorders (ASD),so as to provide reference for rehabilitation intervention of social and quality of life of children with ASD.
Methods:
From September 2021 to January 2022, 72 children with ASD aged 4-6 in the children s rehabilitation department of Xiangyang Central Hospital were selected to participate in the study, and were randomly divided into experimental group ( n =36) and control group ( n =36). The control group received routine rehabilitation training (including individual sports game training), and the experimental group replaced individual sports game training with group sports game training on the basis of routine rehabilitation.The course content mainly included three parts: warm up before class, group sports games and relaxation after class. The course combined social skills with sports games, and was carried out in a group form (divided into 12 groups with 3 people in each group), and was trained five times a week for 60 minutes, for a total of 12 weeks. The scores of Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Version 4.0 Generic Core Scales (PedsQL 4.0) were observed before and after treatment. t-test and χ 2 test were used for statistical analysis.
Results:
There was no significant difference in SRS scores between the experimental group and the control group before intervention ( t =-0.63, P >0.05). After the intervention, the total response rate in the experimental group was 83.33 %, higher than 41.67% in the control group χ 2=13.33, P <0.05),and the SRS scores decreased in the experimental group and control group ( t =17.75,8.71, P <0.05). The SRS scale score of the experimental group Social perception (17.67±4.12) , social cognition (30.33±4.99) , social communication (50.33±9.39) , social motivation (24.25±6.78) scores and total scores ( 152.67± 25.82) were lower than those of the control group(22.17±5.34,36.00±4.13,62.58±11.07,34.42±7.13,186.33±29.03)( t = -4.88,-2.03,-2.13,-3.58,-3.01, P <0.05).After the intervention, the scores of social function (53.33±18.01) and total score (283.83±51.83) on PedsQL 4.0 scale in experimental group were higher than those in control group(23.33±15.13,218.00±39.01) ( t =4.42,3.52, P <0.05). After the intervention, Autism Treatment Evaluation Scale (ATEC) scores of experimental groups(44.33±14.72) was lower than that in control group ( 59.33±16.95)( t =-2.32, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The intervention of group sports game has a significant effect on improving social ability and life quality of children with ASD.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of acupuncture on the expression of protein kinase B (PKB/AKT) in lung tissues of asthma rats.
METHODSForty SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, an acupuncture group and a blocker group, 10 rats in each one. The rat model of asthma was established by egg albumin stimulation in the model group, acupuncture group and blocker group. Since the establishment of rat model, the rats in the acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture at "Dazhui" (GV 14), "Feishu" (BL 13) and "Fengmen" (BL 12) before atomization; the rats in the blocker group were treated with intervention of blocker LY294002, once every two days, for 7 times. There was no treatment in the blank group and model group. HE staining was applied to observe the morphologic changes of lung tissues; the immunohistochemical method was applied to test the protein expression of AKT in lung tissue.
RESULTSHE staining indicated the infiltration and aggregation of a variety of inflammatory cells around airways, as well as bronchial smooth muscle spasm and confined lumen in the model group; in the acupuncture group and blocker group the inflammatory cells were less and confined lumen was relieved. Compared with the blank group, the protein expression of AKT was higher in the model group (<0.05); compared with the model group, the protein expression of AKT in the acupuncture group and blocker group was reduced (both<0.05); the differences between the acupuncture group and blank group, blocker group were not significant (both>0.05).
CONCLUSIONSAcupuncture could reduce the protein expression of AKT in lung tissue in asthma rats, leading to relieved inflammation reaction and airway remodeling.

OBJECTIVETo explore the regulation of acupuncture for transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) expression in the lung tissues of bronchial asthmatic rats.
METHODSForty SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, an acupuncture group and a shallow fast acupuncture group, 10 rats in each group. Asthma model was established in the model, acupuncture, and shallow fast acupuncture groups, and no intervention was applied in the blank and model groups. Before atomization excitation, 20 min acupuncture was applied at "Dazhui" (GV 14) "Feishu" (BL 13) "Fengmen" (BL 12) in the acupuncture group. Acupuncture only into skin without needle retained at the above acupoints was used in the shallow fast acupuncture group before atomization excitation from the day of model established. All the treatment was given 7 times, once the other day. The pathological lunge tissues of rats were observed by HE staining; the protein expression of TGF-β1 in the lung tissues was examined by immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence staining. The TGF-β1 expressions in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum were showed by ELISA.
RESULTSThere were changes in the lung tissues in the model group, including mucus plug in the bronchial lumen, irregular bronchial epithelium, thick airway smooth muscle, local break, narrow lumen, a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration. The phenomena in the acupuncture group were improved and those in the shallow fast acupuncture group were not apparently changed compared with those in the model group. The IOD value of TGF-β1 expression in the model group increased compared with that in the blank group (<0.05); the positive expression in the acupuncture group was lower than those in the model and shallow fast acupuncture groups (both<0.05). The contents of TGF-β1 in BALF and serum of the acupuncture group were lower than those in the model and shallow fast acupuncture groups (all<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSAcupuncture may improve airway inflammatory response and remolding of asthma by inhibiting TGF-β1 expression.

Objective To observe the changes of the depressive behavior and amygdaloid nucleus nerve growth factor(NGF)expression in estro?gen?deprived female rats and explore the possible mechanism and targets of estradiol in depression treatment. Methods A total of 30 adult SD fe?male rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups:sham operation group(SHAM,n=10);ovariectomized group(OVX,n=10)and ovariectomized rats treated with estradiol group(OVX+E,n=10). The behavior changes were observed by tail suspension test(TST)and sucrose preference test (SPT) after 8?week estradiol treatment. Subsequently ,immunohistochemical staining detect NGF expression in amygdaloid nucleus. Results Compared with the SHAM group rats,sucrose preference ratio significantly decreased in SPT(P<0.01),immobile time prolonged in TST(P<0.01),serum estradiol level and amygdaloid NGF expression significantly decreased(all P<0.01). 8?week estradiol treatment ameliorated depres?sion?like behavior and increased serum E2 level and NGF expression in amygdaloid nucleus in OVX+E group rats when compared with the OVX group(all P<0.01). Conclusion Estradiol treatment can improve the depressive behavior of ovariectomized rats ,which may be related to the in?crease of serum estradiol level and the expression of NGF in amygdaloid nucleus.

ABSTRACT:Objective To explore the role of PTEN in the suppression of neural stem cells so as to clarify whether neural stem cell proliferation can be promoted by regulating the PI3K-Akt/PTEN expression level. Methods We removed the hippocampus from neonatal 24 h Kunming mice,isolated and cultured the generation of neural stem cells,which were then identified by immunofluorescence test.We randomly grouped the cultured neural stem cells into normal group,ischemia model group,hypoxia group (hypoxia + ischemia model group),Lip2000 group (hypoxia+ ischemia model group + Lip2000 null transfection group,PTEN transfection group (hypoxia +ischemia model group+Ad5-PTEN transfection group),and PTEN interference group (hypoxia+ ischemia model group+Lip2000+PTENsiRNA interference group).We detected the proliferation of neural stem cells in the groups at different time points,and PTEN protein expression of neural stem cells in each group after PTEN transfection,
and the effect on iconic protein on Akt-PI3K signaling pathway.Results (1 )Nestin identification of the neural stem cells was tested by immunofluorescence.We observed green bright and typical cell spheroids under fluorescence microscope;the clear structure could be seen within spheroids.(2)We determined the proliferation of neural stem cells at different time points by MTT.After 36 h of culture,the neural stem cells had obvious proliferation in the hypoxia group and Lip2000 group compared with the model group, the PTEN transfection group and PTEN interference group (P <0.05),including the cell proliferation of PTEN interference group compared to that of the model group,and PTEN transfection group obviously,the differences were also significant (P < 0.05 );(3 ) Compared with the cells in the normal group,PTEN expression increased in the model group and PTEN gene transfection group (P <0.05);it was all lower in other groups than in the normal group (P <0.05).The trend of decrease was similar in hypoxia group,Lip2000 group,and PTEN interference group (P >0.05);(4)After PTEN plasmid transfection,there were no apparent changes in the total Akt and bad in the groups,but compared with the normal group,PI3K,p-Akt,and p-bad expressions in model group and PTEN gene transfection group reduced (P <0.05),with the more obvious changes in the PTEN transfection group.PI3K,p-Akt,and p-bad expressions in the hypoxia group, Lip2000 group and PTEN interference group increased (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Hypoxia contributes to promoting the proliferation of neural stem cells,and the inhibition of PTEN on PI3K/Akt might be the key factor for blocked proliferation of adult neural stem cells.

ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy of wrist-ankle acupuncture plus auricular point sticking in treating pre-exam anxiety syndrome.MethodSixty patients with pre-exam anxiety syndrome were randomized into a treatment group to receive wrist-ankle acupuncture plus auricular point sticking (30 cases, 11 cases dropped out) and a control group to receive auricular point sticking (30 cases, 1 dropped out). In the treatment group, the bilateral Upper 1 zones were punctured regarding the wrist-ankle acupuncture, and for the auricular point sticking, Heart (CO 15), ear Shenmen (TF 4), Endocrine (CO 18), Adrenal Gland (TG 2p), Subcortex (AT 4) were selected. In the controlgroup, the same auricular points were treated. For both groups, the intervention began from 1 week prior to the exam, 3 d as a treatment course, and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 2 successive courses. The Sarason Test Anxiety Scale (TAS) and autonomic function test were used to assess the anxiety severity before and after treatment. ResultThe total effective rate was 84.2% (16/19) in the treatment group versus 82.8% (24/29) in the control group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The TAS score dropped significantly in the control group after intervention (P<0.01).ConclusionWrist-ankle acupuncture plus auricular point sticking and auricular point sticking alone both can effectively improve the symptoms of pre-exam anxietysyndrome.
