RESUMO
ObjectiveTo compare the functional connectivity of brain networks in stroke patients with upper limb motor dysfunction during unilateral or bilateral upper limb movement using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). MethodsFrom April to June, 2021, 40 stroke patients with upper limb motor dysfunction in Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Huashan Hospital, finished unilateral (affected) and bilateral upper limb movement. Eight-minute fNIRS data were collected before and after movement, and the functional activities and connectivity of prefrontal cortex (PFC), upper limb and hand functional area (H), primary sensory cortex (S1) were analyzed based on oxygenated hemoglobin. ResultsFunctional activities increased in affected H after unilateral task (t = -3.135, P < 0.05), while the functional connectivity increased between affected H and affected S1, affected H and unaffected S1, and affected S1 and unaffected S1 (|t| > 3.218, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the functional activities and connectivity of all the areas after bilateral upper limb task (|t| < 2.385, P > 0.05). The improvement of affected H was more after unilateral task than after bilateral upper limb task (t = 2.026, P < 0.05). ConclusionUnilateral affected upper limb training is more effective on functional activities and connectivity for corresponding brain regions than bilateral task.
RESUMO
Disease anthropology takes disease as the research object and uses anthropological methods to study disease. In the 1970s, a French anthropologist named Francois Laplantine foundedetiology and the therapeutic method to study disease using"opposite mode". Based on Francois Laplantine' s mode of disease etiology:ontologi-cal mode and relevance theory mode, this paper discussed the formulation process and relationship between ontolog-ical mode and relevance theory mode of western medicine and argued that moral trauma can be accepted for and can be attributed to the pathogenic factors in the relevance theory mode of disease etiology.
RESUMO
The HPLC-ELSD method was used in the content determination of astragaloside, astragalosideⅠ, astragalosideⅡand astragalosideⅢ in Mongolia Radix Astragali (Astragalus membranaceus(Fisch.) Bge. var. mongholicus(Bge.) Hsiao) among 16 batches from various habitats. The DIKMA Diamonsil C18 (150 mm× 4.6 mm, 5μm) was adopted with acetonitrile and water as the mobile phase at a gradient mode program. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1. And the column temperature was 30℃. The ELSD detector parameters were the drift tube temperature at 90℃, and the air flow rate of 2.8 L·min-1. The SPSS 16.0 software was used in the cluster analysis of content determination. The results showed that when the injection volume was within the range of 0.093 2-1.02μg (r = 0.999 5), 0.789-8.78μg (r = 0.999 7), 0.506-3.13μg (r = 0.999 6), and 0.016 1-1.38μg (r = 0.999 2) for astragaloside, astragalosideⅠ, astragalosideⅡ and astragalosideⅢ, respectively, the average recoveries were 97.55%, 98.61%, 99.68%, 98.58%with RSD of 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.3%, 1.2%, respectively. The results of cluster analysis showed that the single using of astragaloside as index was unable to differentiate Mongolia Radix Astragali from various habitats. However, the simultaneous determination of 4 types of astragalosides as indexes can differentiate Mongolia Radix Astragali from various habitats. It was concluded that the method was simple, quick and accurate, which can directly reflect the quality status of Mongolia Radix Astragali from different origins. It also provided new ideas for the quality control of Mongolia Radix Astragali.
