BACKGROUND: The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical effectiveness of the combination of multimodal exercise (MME) with supportive music and imagery in the management of poststroke mood disorders (PSMD). METHODS: A total of 200 PSMD patients treated in the neurology department of a tertiary hospital in Jiangsu Province were enrolled. They were assigned to either a control group or the observation group using a random number table at a 1:1 ratio, with 100 patients in each group.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to estimate how much anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure) is present among adolescents and how it relates to experiences of childhood trauma (CT).
  • A sample of 1,745 adolescents aged 9 to 18 from various schools in economically developed cities in Southeastern China participated in surveys that assessed their levels of anhedonia, CT, and depression.
  • Results showed that CT, especially emotional and physical neglect, significantly predicted anhedonia in adolescents, with differences noted between genders, particularly in how emotional neglect affected girls more than boys.

Based on daily temperature data of 86 weather stations during winter producing season from 1961 to 2017 in Guangdong Province, the temporal and spatial distribution of extreme chilling was analyzed. The return periods of extreme chilling at county level were calculated with the theory of generalized extreme value distribution to provide technical support for extreme chilling risk assessment and early warning together with real-time meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation in winter planting areas. Results showed that there was a general downward trend of the extreme values of chilling accumulation in main winter planting zones.

Two different culture media were used to cultivate fungus Aspergillus ruber 1017 and resulted in the isolation of one new compound (1) and 23 known compounds (2-24). Alkaloids were the major metabolite in soybean medium instead of anthraquinone from rice medium. The structures of these compounds were elucidated according to spectroscopic analysis and comparison with reported data.

Objective: To understand the changes of schistosomiasis epidemic situation, so as to provide the evidence for formulating schistosomiasis control strategy in the Hexi reservoir area.

Methods: From 2012 to 2015, Xinyuan Village, Meishan Town in the north entrance of Hexi reservoir was selected as a monitoring site. According to the requirements of the monitoring program of schistosomiasis surveillance in Zhejiang Province, the infection was investigated by using the serological screening (IHA), and the basic situation of the surveillance site was also investigated.

To study the pharmacokinetic characteristics and absolute bioavailability of α-asarone through dry powder inhalation in rats, and compare with that through oral administration and intravenous injection. A HPLC method was established for the determination of α-asarone in rat plasma to detect the changes in plasma concentrations of α-asarone through dry powder inhalation (20 mg · kg(-1)), oral administration (80 mg · kg(-1)) and intravenous injection (20 mg · kg(-1)) in rats. DAS 2.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to assess the distribution and movement of Oncomelania hupensis snails in the Hexi Reservoir and examine the effectiveness of the schistosomiasis control measures implemented there.
  • - Researchers used straw curtains and fishing nets across various areas of the main drainages to collect data, finding 37 snails in one stream but none in other salvaged areas.
  • - Results indicate that while control efforts are effective in reducing snail spread, surveillance and control measures must be enhanced, especially since snails were still present upstream.

Objective: By studying the process of reverse osmosis system for traditional Chinese medicine materials physicochemical parameters affecting the osmotic pressure of its relevance, new compound system reverse osmosis process design methods were explored.

Method: Three concentrations materials for high, middle and low were dubbed with Sini decoction as a model drug, and pretreated by 50 thousand relative molecular weight cut-off ultrafiltration membrane. The viscosity, turbidity, conductivity, salinity, TDS, pH value and osmotic pressure of each sample were determined after the reverse osmosis to study the physical and chemical parameters between their respective correlations with the osmotic pressure, and characterized by HPLC chromatograms showing changes before and after the main chemical composition of samples of reverse osmosis.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of schistosomiasis control projects in Hexi Reservoir on Oncomelania hupensis snail control.

Methods: The canal hardening + main water system widening + the overflow dam project, the concrete slope protection, the banking and reclamation + concrete slope protection project, the environment reform project, and the comprehensive treatment were implemented in the tail area, the hydro-fluctuation belt, the rainwater harvesting zoon of the upstream area, the dam area, and the downstream area of the reservoir, respectively. The changes of the snail situation were investigated before and after the construction of the reservoir, and the snail control effects of the schistosomiasis control projects in different parts of the reservoir were analyzed.
