The results showed that di fferent doses of Erweikang could effectively reverse the decreased induction lev els of NK, IL 2, γ IFN and the contents of TNF and IgG of the immunosu ppressive mice after administration of Erweikang for 7 to 14 days. It was sugges ted that compound polysaccharide Erweikang presents positive immune modulation i n dose and time dependent manners.展开更多

The data showed that the level of serum CMSC and ICPIC was markedly decreased in acute phase and returned to normal in the 7th week after onset of disease.Correlation analysis revealed that there were positive correlation between the level of serum CMSC and ICPIC and the serum concentration of CH50, C3, C4, but no linear correlation between the level of serum CMSC and ICPIC and the amount of CIC. These results suggest that the declined serum CMSC and ICPIC in AGN may be associ ated with the pathogenesis of AGN.展开更多

However, immune cell activation is involved in several pathophysiological processes that play a crucial role in the appearance of cardiovascular disease(CVD) or cancer. The aim of this review is to update the knowledge of the modulation of immune cell activation by different dietary patterns and its components focusing on CVD or cancer. While a westernized high-saturated fat highcarbohydrate diet is positively associated with lowgrade inflammation, vegetable- and fruit-based diets rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols, key nutrients of Mediterranean diet, decrease the levels of cellular and circulating inflammatory biomarkers thereby reducing the risk of related chronic diseases.展开更多

The peddiatric patients received rahabilitation treatment at 4 （range, 2-7） days after surgery for 10 （range, 7-23） days. Results from the Modified McCormick Scale, Functional Independence Measure for Chil- dren, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale and Karnofsky Performance Status Scale demonstrated that the sensory function, motor function and activity of daily living of pedi- atric children who received early rehabilitation were significantly improved. Results also showed that tumor setting and level localization as well as patients＇s clinical symptoms have no influences on neurofunctional outcomes.展开更多

We have completed this theoretical aspect （which contradicted what has been stated previously in the literature, where it has been considered that the linear plus sinusoidal scanning function was the best） with the experimental study of the most used scanning functions of the GSs （sawtooth, sinusoidal and triangular）, with applications in biomedical imaging, in particular in optical coherence tomography, demonstrating that the triangular function is always the best one to be applied, from both an optical and a mechanical point of view. In the present study the input voltage/command function which should be applied to the GS to produce the desired triangular scanning function （with controlled non-linearity for the fastest possible stop-and-turn portions） was determined analytically, in relationship with the active torque that drives the device. This command function is analyzed with regard to the specific, respectively required parameters of the GS： natural frequency and damping factor, respectively scan speed and amplitude. The modeling in an open loop control structure of the GS is finally discussed as a trade-off between using the highest possible duty cycle and minimizing the maximum peaks of the input voltage.展开更多

Methods 64 patients with initial Q - wave anterior myocardial infarction and the infarct - related arteries were total occluded conformed by angiogram at 2 to 14 days after onset were divided into successful PCI group and control group ( not re- ceiving PCI or the IRA not re - opened). 2 - DE was performed at early phase ( about 3 weeks) , 2 and 6 months after onset of AMI respectively to detect the left ventricular function and left ventricular wall motion ab- normality (VWMA). The total congestive heart failure events were recorded during 6 months follow-up. Re- sults VWMA scores, left ventricular ejection frac- tion (LVEF) , left ventricular end - diastolic and end - systolic volume indices ( LVEDVI and LVDSVI) were similar in 2 groups at early phase and 2 months. There were no differences between early phase and 2 months in each group too. VWMA scores and LVEF did not changed at 6 months in each group compared with the early phase and 2 months ( P > 0. 05 ). But LVEDVI and LVESVI were significantly smaller in the successful PCI group than in the control group (P < 0.01, P < 0. 05). The congestive heart failure events were taken place in 19% of patients in control group com- pared with 2% in successful PCI group ( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusions Although the infarct size does not changed, delayed opening the IRA has beneficial effect to the late phase left ventricular dilatation after acuteanterior myocardial infarction.展开更多
