Serious motor dysfunction is the leading cause of disability in individuals with stroke. Rehabilitation is the most effective intervention. Taking “stroke” “cerebrovascular accident” “rehabilitation” “motor dysfunction” and other key words, the relevant studies published from January 2015 to January 2020 were searched in Web of Science database to explore the advance in rehabilitation of motor dysfunction in individuals with stroke based on basic and clinical researches. Basic researches mainly focused on the mechanism of neural plasticity, neural loop and various intervention measures, and clinical researches mainly focused on novel rehabilitation intervention technologies for motor dysfunction in individuals with stroke. In addition, mechanism and rehabilitation are still two hotpots in the field of the disease. This paper reviews the search results in order to provide reference for subsequent relevant clinical work and scientific research.

With chronic kidney disease becoming a public health problem in the world, dialysis treatment model has also become the focus of attention from all walks of life. Sustained low-efficiency dialysis, which adopts the mode of low blood flow and low dialysis volume, is a kind of hybrid renal replacement therapy combining continuous renal replacement therapy and intermittent hemodialysis. It has unique advantages in the treatment of patients with acute and severe renal injury, as well as the dialysis duration, patient activity range and cost. It is the most widely used hybrid renal replacement therapy too. This review summarizes the clinical application and nursing points of sustained low-efficiency dialysis to provide guidance for clinical practice.
Objective To investigate the clinical application value of GeneXpert Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)/ rifampin (RIF) in urine samples for tuberculosis diagnosis. Methods The patients with clinically highly suspected tuberculosis admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 1, 2018 and June 1, 2023 were selected retrospectively. The diagnostic efficacy of urine GeneXpert MTB/RIF detection, such as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value, were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate its clinical value in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Correlation analysis was further conducted to explore the correlation between positive levels of GeneXpert MTB/RIF in urine samples and laboratory test indicators. Results A total of 400 patients were included. Among them, 163 cases were in the clinical tuberculosis group and 237 cases were in the clinical non tuberculosis group. In the clinical tuberculosis group, 112 cases were urogenital tuberculosis patients and 51 cases were non-urogenital tuberculosis patients. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of urine GeneXpert MTB/RIF in the diagnosis of tuberculosis were 55.2%, 97.5%, 93.8% and 76.0%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of urine GeneXpert MTB/RIF in the diagnosis of urogenital tuberculosis were 65.2%, 92.0%, 76.0% and 87.2%, respectively, and the diagnostic sensitivity was further improved. Correlation analysis showed that the positive degree of urine GeneXpert MTB/RIF was correlated with the levels of hemoglobin, serum total protein, blood serum albumin, and other indicators. Conclusions Urine GeneXpert MTB/RIF detection offers high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, especially in urogenital tuberculosis, which is helpful for the early and rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis patients. The positive degree reported by the GeneXpert MTB/RIF in urine may indicate disease severity.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health issue of global concern, and nutritional management of CKD can improve the nutritional status of patients and slow down the progression of the disease. However, nutrition management is a complex scientific issue, and there are few clinical practices of nutrition management in CKD, so there is an urgent need for a theoretical framework of nutrition management to guide the construction of a scientific and standardized program. This review will systematically describe the relationship between nutrition and kidney disease, sort out the current status of nutrition management in CKD in China, introduce the experience of CKD medical and nursing nutrition integration in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and provide thoughts for further improvement of standardized scientific formulation of nutrition management strategy.
Skeletal muscle and metabolic function are important factors affecting the health status of the elderly. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) can improve muscle recovery, reduce muscle soreness after exercise, and BCAA can also enhance metabolic health, helping to regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity in the elderly. In addition, BCAA can improve cognitive function, reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline. This article reviews the relationship between BCAA and aging, skeletal muscle, and metabolic diseases, explaining how BCAA can support and promote muscle mass and function in the elderly, as well as have a positive impact on metabolic health and cognitive function.
ObjectiveTo detect the development of retinal neovascularization (NV) induced by metabolic acidosis in neonatal rats and investigate the relationship between the occurrence of NV and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). MethodsA total of 425 newborn Sprague-Dawley rats in experimental group underwent tubal feeding of NH4Cl (535 mg/kg) with the concentration of (50 mg/ml) (twice per day) from the 2nd day after the birth for 6 days and followed by a period of recovery. Additional 150 neonatal rats were in the control group without the tubal feeding. The rats were executed at the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 13th, 20th day after birth respectively. The retinal vessels were evaluated through retinal stretched preparation andadenosine diphosphatase (ADPase) staining; VEGF in retina was detected by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).ResultsIn the experimental group, the incidence of retinal NV at the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 13th, 20th day after birth was 0%，9%，26%，55%，19%, and 0% respectively. At the 3rd day, the expression of VEGF protein was lower in experimental group ［（101.1±14.2 ）pg/mg］ than that in the control group ［（133.2±15.9） pg/mg］（P＝0.004）, while at the 8th day it was higher in experimental group［(98.4±19.2) pg/mg］than that in the control group［（78.1±8.7） pg/mg］（P=0.028). There was no significant difference between the two groups at the 5th, 10th, 13th, and 20th day (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionsMetabolic acidosis may induce NV by injuring the developing retinal vessels. Retinal NV induced by acidosis relates to VEGF. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2005,21:296-299)
In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of the electrodes implant location when using spinal functional electrical stimulation to rebuild hindlimb motor function, we measured the distributions of function core regions in rat spinal cord associated with hindlimb movements. In this study, we utilized three-dimensional scanning intraspinal microstimulation technology to stimulate the rat spinal cord to generate hip, knee and ankle joint movements, and acquired the coordinates of the sites in spinal cord which evoked these movements. In this article, 12 SD rats were used to overcome the individual differences in the functional region of the spinal cord. After normalized and overlaid the messages, we obtained the function core regions in spinal cord associated with ankle dorsiflexion movement, hip flexion movement, hip extension movement and hip adduction movement. It provides a reference for rebuilding the hindlimb movement function with micro-electronic neural bridge.
Although the recent studies have concerned the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of acute kidney injury (AKI), the mortality of AKI is still terribly high, and it is still one of the most important death factors in the intensive care unit. There is no doubt that early verdict of AKI, is good for a more aggressive treatment and can promise an improved prognosis for AKI patients. Serum creatinine level, serving as the gold standard for diagnosis of kidney injury, cannot meet current clinical work in its sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis of early AKI. Over the past decades, researchers worked to find and verify novel AKI biomarkers, including neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin, interleukin-18, kidney injury molecule-1 and cystatin-C, which were proved to be the potential reliable predictor of AKI development and prognosis, and were of great importance to the early diagnosis and clinical monitoring of AKI. This paper reviews the main studies on these novel prognostic predictors of AKI over the decades and evaluates their roles and limitations in early diagnosis and clinical prognosis prediction.
Objective To study the clinical protective effect of hemoperfusion combined with hemofiltration on inflammatory reaction of hyperlipidemia severe acute pancreatitis (HLSAP). Methods Thirty-seven patients with HLSAP treated between January 2012 and December 2014 were selected and divided into three groups based on different treatments. Thirteen patients were allocated into hemoperfusion combined with continuous veno-venous hemofiltration group (HP+CVVH group) and treated with hemoperfusion combined with hemofiltration; 11 patients were allocated into continuous veno-venous hemofiltration group (CVVH group) and treated with hemofiltration; and all the other patients were allocated into control group and treated with conventional treatment. The levels of blood triglyceride, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE)Ⅱ score of the patients after treatment were observed. The hospital stay, organ dysfunction rate and mortality of the patients were measured. Results Compared with the control group, the levels of blood triglyceride, C-reactive protein, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 and APACHE Ⅱ score of the patients in the HP+CVVH group and CVVH group were both significantly reduced 72 hours after therapy (P<0.05). However, the levels of blood triglyceride, C-reactive protein, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 and APACHE Ⅱ score of the patients in the HP+CVVH group were significantly lower than those in the CVVH group at the same time point (P<0.05). The hospital stay of the patients in the HP+CVVH group and CVVH group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the CVVH group, the hospital stay of patients in the HP+CVVH group was significantly shorter (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in organ dysfunction rate and mortality among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Hemoperfusion combined with hemofiltration is an effective method for HLSAP by cleaning the inflammatory mediators availably and inhibiting the excessive inflammatory reaction.
