ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of different intensity of wearable lower limb rehabilitation robot-assisted training on walking function, lower limb motor function, balance function and functional independence of stroke patients. MethodsFrom November, 2021 to December, 2022, 60 stroke patients hospitalized in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 20), observation group 1 (n = 20) and observation group 2 (n = 20). All the groups received routine rehabilitation, while the control group received routine walking training 30 minutes a day, the observation group 1 received wearable lower limb rehabilitation robot-assisted training 30 minutes a day, and the observation group 2 received wearable lower limb rehabilitation robot-assisted training 60 minutes a day, for four weeks. They were assessed with Functional Ambulation Category scale (FAC), Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI) before and after treatment. ResultsOne case in the observation group 1 and three cases in the observation group 2 dropped down. The FAC, FMA-LE, BBS and RMI scores improved in all the three groups after treatment (|Z| > 3.448, |t| > 8.102, P < 0.001), and there was no significant difference in all the indexes among the three groups (|H| < 4.643, F = 1.454, P > 0.05); however, the improvement of BBS score was more in the observation group 1 than in the control group (P < 0.05), and the improvement of all the indexes was more in the observation group 2 than in the control group (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe wearable lower limb rehabilitation robot-assisted training may promote the recovery of walking function, lower limb motor function, balance function and functional independence of stroke patients, and high-intensity training seems to be more effective.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo visually analyze the current status, hot spots and frontiers of the researches on transcranial magnetic stimulation for stroke in recent five years. MethodsLiterature related to transcranial magnetic stimulation for stroke were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022, and a visualized analysis was performed using CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software. ResultsThe number of published papers increased year by year, the most prolific author was Abo Masahiro, the country with the largest number of articles was China, and Sun Yat-sen University published the most papers. The hot keywords were cerebral cortex, functional magnetic resonance imaging, cortical excitability, plasticity, etc. The top five keywords of bursting strength were unilateral spatial neglect, poststroke, neuropathic pain, cortical plasticity, and trancallosal inhibition. ConclusionThe popularity of studies on transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of stroke is increasing year by year. In the future, attention can be paid to the therapeutic effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation on unilateral spatial neglect, neuropathic pain, etc. Additionally, the influence of transcranial magnetic stimulation on cortical plasticity can be further studied.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To investigate effects of thrombopoietin(TPO) and TPOⅡ on human platelet activation in vitro. METHODS:Human platelets were incubated in the phosphate-buffered saline containing rhTPO or TPOⅡ at the concentration of 100 μg/L for five minutes. In order to determine the rate of platelet activation. The CD62P and CD41 expressions on platelets were analysed by flow cytometry using fluorescence labelled monoclonal antibody to CD62P and CD41. RESULTS:The results demonstrated that expression of CD62P on platelets which were incubated with rhTPO or TPOⅡ didn't increase compared with that of contrast group. CONCLUSION:Both rhTPO and TPOⅡdidn't cause the disorder of platelet activation.
ABSTRACT
For medical student, diagnostic practice is the first step of clinical study. To penetrate the humanities education in diagnostic teaching,the combination with practice from the following steps as physical examination, laboratory examination and interrogation, would cultivate medical students' humane quality imperceptibly and play an important role in creating noble medical ethics of them.

ABSTRACT
As a major component of the hematopoietic microenvironment,stromal cells have been proved to support hematopoiesis. This review describes the constitution, origin of stromal cells and its mrechanism of regulate hematopoiesis, and then elaborates that the stromal cells play a important role in the hematopoietic restitution of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the biological activity of thrombopoietin Ⅱ(TPOⅡ) in vivo , which consists of two new kinds of ligand binding with thrombopoietin receptor. METHODS: Purified ligandⅠof TPOⅡ, artificial compound ligandⅡ of TPOⅡand rhTPO were injected into purebred Babl/c mice respectively in 7 days by intraperitoneal injection once for a day. Then the biological activity of TPOⅡ was analyzed by measuring peripheral platelet counts by the end of the seventh day. RESULTS: On the seventh day, the platelet counts of mice treated by ligandⅠof TPOⅡ were higher than that in the negative control group( P 0.05). On the fourteenth day, the platelet counts increased in two all experimental groups of TPOⅡcompared with negative control group( P 0.05). Moreover the platelet counts of mice in two experimental groups of TPOⅡ and the positive group showed increase with experimental days. CONCLUSION: The purified ligandⅠof TPOⅡ had obvious activity in increasing platelet production, which is not different from the effect of rhTPO.
