Correlation between knee hyperextension gait and lower limb muscle activation in stroke patients with hemiplegia / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation among knee hyperextension angle, lower limb joints kinematics parameters and the activation of main muscles of lower limb in stroke hemiplegic patients with knee hyperextension during walking. MethodsFrom August, 2020 to September, 2021, 24 stroke hemiplegic patients with knee hyperextension and 24 healthy subjects matched with sex, age, height and body mass with knee hyperextension were analyzed with three-dimensional gait analysis system and the wireless surface electromyography acquisition system, to record the range of motion of pelvis, hip, knee and ankle joints in sagittal plane, and the activation of bilateral gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, vastus medialis and gastrocnemius medialis. ResultsAs the maximum of knee hyperextension, range of motion of the joints in sagittal plane and the activation of the muscles were different between the patients and the healthy subjects during the single-support phase of walking (|t| > 3.080, P < 0.01), and the maximum of knee hyperextension correlated with the activation of gluteus maximus in the patients (r = -0.532, P < 0.01), and the range of motion of ankle plantar flexion in both the patients and the healthy subjects (r > 0.686, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe correction for knee hyperextension gait in stroke hemiplegic patients may not only need to pay attention to knee joint control, but also need further treatment of ankle control and hip muscle function.

Preparation of Levofloxacin and Triamcinolone Acetonide Double-loaded Ophthalmic Gel / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Levofloxacin and triamcinolone acetonide double-loaded ophthalmic gel. METHODS:Us-ing levofloxacin hydrochloride and triamcinolone acetonide as main components,carbopol-940P as base material,HPMC K4M as tackifier,Levofloxacin and triamcinolone acetonide double-loaded ophthalmic gel was prepared. Using dissolution time as index, the contents of carbopol-940P and HPMC K4M were determined by single factor test,and dissolution time,viscosity and the con-tents of 2 main components were also determined. RESULTS:The concentrations of carbopol-940P and HPMC K4M were 0.4%and 1.2%,separately. The dissolution time was more than 24 h and viscosity was 1 142.67 Pa·s. The content of levofloxacin hydro-chloride was 97.3% of labelled amount (RSD=0.84%,n=3),and that of triamcinolone acetonide was 92.97% of labelled amount(RSD=1.32%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:Levofloxacin and triamcinolone acetonide double-loaded ophthalmic gel has been prepared successfully.

Optimization of Extraction Technology for Total Saponins in Dipsaci Radix by Central Composite Design-Response Surface Methodology / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

To optimize the extraction technology of the total saponins in Dipsaci Radix, the extraction efficiency of total saponins was investigated with respecting to three variables including time, ethanol concentration and liquid-to-solid ratio. On the basis of a series of one-factor-at-a-time experiments, a polynomial regression model equation was fitted by the combined use of central composite experimental design and regression analysis. By analyzing the regression model using response surface analysis, the optimum extraction conditions of total saponins from Dipsaci Radix were identified as follows: 7 times of 55% alcohol, refluxing 3 times, 2.8 hours every time, and the extraction efficiency of total saponins was up to 0.201 1 g·g-1 and the asperosaponin Ⅵ was up to 0.015 4 g·g-1 under the optimized conditions. Confirmatory experiment indicated the good prediction ability of the established model and provided the basis for further development and utilization of Dipsaci Radix.

Resveratrol derived from rhizoma et radix polygoni cuspidati and its liposomal form protect nigral cells of Parkinsonian rats / 中国中药杂志

Oxidative stress is a hallmark in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease (PD), which involves the selective loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons in PD. Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is well known for its powerful antioxidant property and a wide range of other biological effects. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of resveratrol derived from Rhizoma Et Radix Polygoni Cuspidati and its liposomal form on the nigral cells of PD rats induced by unilateral microinjection of 6-hydroxy dopamine in the striatum. The results showed that after 14 days gavage of resveratrol and resveratrol liposome respectively (20 mg x kg(-1) WB per day), the abnormal rotational behavior of PD rats were deceased evidently, the numbers of total nigral cells, total nigral neurons and TH immuno-positive neurons were more than that of PD rats without given resveratrol or resveratrol liposome, simultaneously, the number of apoptotic nigral cells were decreased obviously. The results also showed that resveratrol and resveratrol liposome could decrease the total ROS activity, increase the total antioxidant capability of the nigral tissues. All the data indicated that resveratrol liposome performed stronger effects than resveratrol except for behavioral improvement. Our study confirmed that resveratrol derived from Rhizoma Et Radix Polygoni Cuspidati and its liposomal form could inhibit the loss of dopaminergic neurons of PD rats, the underlying mechanism may be attributed to their radical scavenging effect and antioxidant property. Due to presumably increased bioavailability, resveratrol liposome possesses the stronger therapeutic effect and may become a better clinical agent for the treatment of PD than free resveratrol.

Experimental study on the antibacterial effect of origanum volatile oil on dysentery bacilli in vivo and in vitro / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

To observe the germistatic and germicidal effects of origanum volatile oil (OVI) on the dysentery bacteria, the abdominal cavity of mice was infected with Shigella sonne (Sh. sonnei) and Shigella flexneri (Sh. flexneri) F2a. After OVI was given to the mice via gastric lavage, the effects of OVI on the infected mice were observed. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) for dysentery bacteria were determined in vitro. The results showed that origanum volatile oil showed obvious protective effect on mice infected with Sh. sonnei and Sh. flexneri F2a and it had germistatic and germicidal effects on dysentry bacteria. We are led to conclude that origanum volatile oil is an effective medicine against the infection of dysentery bacteria.
