Objective To elucidate the new concept and theory of neurorestoratology. Methods With the review of the development course and important research works in the field of neurorestoratology during the 20th century, especially recent 30 years, the regularity summary, science and technology philosophy induction, and theory distillation were carried out in this article. Results The new discipl ine system was brought forward as follows: ① Definition: neurorestoratology was asub-discipl ine of neuroscience which studies neural regeneration, neural structural repair of replacement, eruroplasticity and neuromodulation. The core purpose was to promote neural functional recovery of all neural degenerative diseases and damages. ② One central task and two basic points: to recover neurological function was the central research task all the time and the two basic points were the precl inical (basic) neurorestoration and the cl inical neurorestoration. ③ Four rationale of the discipl ine: l imited renovation, relearning, insufficient reserve, and l ifelong reinforcement. ④ Five major factors of neurorestoratology (5N’s dogma): neuroregeneration, neurorepair, neuroplasticity, neuromodulation, neurorehabil itation. “Neuroprotection” appeared to be included in the broad definition. ⑤ Four-step rule of neurorestoratology: structural neurorestoration, signal neurorestoration, rehabil itative neurorestoration, and functional neurorestoration. ⑥ Emphasize that translational medicine from lab to bed in neurorestoration. Conclusion The discipl ine of neurorestoratology has the vast development prospectand will be sure to increase the rapid progress of the basic and cl inical restorative neuroscience.
Objective To develop the plastic nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA)/poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-hydroxyvalerate) polyethylene glycol(PHBV-PEG) gentamicin (GM) drug delivery system(DDS)(nano-HA/PHBV-PEG-GM-DDS) for treating osteomyelitis and find its releasing character in vivo. Methods The plastic nano-HA/PHBV- PEG-GM-DDS was prepared using nanoHAas the core carrier of GM, nano-HA with PHBV and PEG as coating and plastic fibrin glue(FG) as microsphere scaffold. The morphological features of nano-HA,drug loaded nano-HA and drug loaded nano-HA/PHBVPEG microsphere were examined by electron microscope.The GM concentration in blood, cortex bone and cancellousbone was detected at 12 different time points by the method of K-B after the plastic nano-HA/PHBV-PEGGM-DDS was implanted into the femora of 36 rabbits. Its GM releasing character was assayed in vivo. Results Nano-HA was similar to a blackjack, and its length was less than 60 nm. Drug loaded nano-HA appeared natural crystal condensate, of which surface adsorbed massive GM. The average grain diameter was 200.5 nm. Drug loaded nanoHA/PHBV-PEG microsphere had a shrinkable porous structure, of which surface configuration was consistent. The average grain diameter was 34.5 μm. The GM concentration and the antibacterial annulus was in the linear correlation. The correlation coefficient was 0.998. In cortex and cancellous bone tissue, the GM concentration was about 95.50±16.50 μg/ml and 80.20±13.80 μg/ml from the plastic nano-HA/PHBV-PEG-GM-DDS on the 1st day, then decreased gradually. After 56 days of operation, the GM concentration still exceeded the minimum inhibitory concentrationfor the staphylococcus aureus, but the peak level of serum GM concentration wasunder the nephrotoxicity concentration. Conclusion Plastic nano-HA/PHBV-PEG-GM-DDS was a good drug delivery system with sustained antibiotic effect in vivo. It was an effective method for the treatment of osteomyelitis.
The theoretical system of motor re-learning is one of the important technical systems in the field of neurological rehabilitation. It is helpful to improve the curative effect of rehabilitation by deeply understanding this theory system and applying it flexibly to patients with neural system impairment. In this paper, the principles of neurorehabilitation based on motor re-learning (including active training, repetitive reinforcement; task-specific practice, goal-orientated training; rich environment, increasing difficulty; emphasis on feedback and early intervention) are interpreted with available evidence of mechanism and clinical application studies, in order to provide some ideas and directions for the future clinical research of neurological rehabilitation.
