Objective: ①To study whether changes of cortical electrical activations in two hemispheres correlated with speech tasks could be observed with approximate entropy analysis of EEG; ②To dynamically observe the correlation of speech improvements with cortical electrical activations in two hemispheres during speech treatment. Method: Changes of cortical electrical activations were observed with EEG in a conductive aphasic 7、9 and 30 weeks after stroke. EEG was recorded in 3 different conditions: eyes closed, word repetition and non-word repetition. The EEG of a healthy man was recorded in 3 different conditions as control. Result: Compared with eye-closed condition, EEG approximate entropies(ApEn_s) of the healthy subject increased in T3, T5, C3, P3 and O1 for word and non-word repetition, and additional F7 and T6 for non-word repetition task. For the patient, ApEn of the first EEG increased in P3 for word repetition, and P4 for non-word repetition; ApEns of the second EEG increased in F3, F7, P3, C3, C4,T3, T5, O1, and decreased in F8, T4 and O2 in right hemisphere for word and non-word repetition; ApEns of the third EEG increased in T3, P3, F7, O1, O2 for word repetition,and T3, O2 for non-word repetition. The first aphasia assessment showed light impairment of semantic system and initial sound auditory identification and severely impairment of picture naming and word repetition. The semantic system and initial sound auditory identification improved significantly in the second assessment compared with the first; but the word repetition remained unchanged. The range of the activated regions in the left hemisphere decreased in the third EEG compared with the second EEG and the activated regions were less than the normal subject. Conclusion: The cortical electrical activities correlated with repetition tasks and the change of cortical electrical activities in different stages of language recovery could be observed with EEG nonlinear analysis.

Objective To investigate the expressions of OCT4 and P27kip1 and their correlations in renal hyaline cell carcinoma. Methods A total of 24 samples of renal hyaline cell carcinoma were detected by immunohistochemistry. The rate of cells with positive labelling of OCT4 and P27kip1 and their intra cellular distribution were observed in renal hyaline cell carcinoma. The expression levels of OCT4 and P27kip1 were compared between different gender, age (<60y and≥60y) and cancer cell metastasis groups. Results The rates of cells with positive OCT4 and P27kip1 expressions were 66.7%and 75% in renal hyaline cell carcinoma respectively. The ratio of cells with high, middle and low expression of OCT 4 were 33.3%, 20.5%and 12.5%in renal hyaline cell carcinoma tissues. OCT4 was mainly expressed in cytoplasm and nuclei with a few was expressed in the cell membrane. The ratio of cells with high, middle and low expression of P27kip1 were 12.5%, 25%and 37.5%in renal hyaline cell carcinoma tissues respectively. The positive staining of P27kip1 was in the cytoplasm and cell membrane, and a small number of nuclei were expressed. There were no significant differences in OCT4 and P27kip1 between different age and gender groups. There were significant differences in OCT4 and P27kip1 expressions between patients with metastasis and patients without metastasis (P < 0.05). A negative correlation was found between OCT4 and P27kip1 expres?sions in renal hyaline cell carcinoma (rs=-0.408, P<0.05). Conclusion The expression of OCT4 is negatively correlated with the expression of P27kip1. Inhibiting expressions of OCT4 or P27kip1, especially knocking down P27kip1 in cytoplasm can be used as a new diagnosis and treatment of renal cancer gene therapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of preterm birth, as well as the clinical characteristics in dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twins and monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on 290 premature cases out of 363 twin pregnancies who delivered alive babies in the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from September 2012 to March 2015. The selected cases, including 219 cases of DCDA and 71 cases of MCDA,were divided into three groups according to their gestational age at delivery: 28-31+6, 32-33+6 and 34-36+6 weeks. The clinical features, causes and risk factors were described between these three groups. Analysis of variance,Chi-square test and multi-variant Logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.ResultsThe incidence of premature delivery in twin pregnancies was 79.9% (290/363), while this figure was lower in DCDA twins than in MCDA [76.3%(219/287) vs 93.4%(71/76),χ2=10.955,P=0.001]. The three leading causes of preterm birth in DCDA twins were gestational age≥36 weeks (33.8%, 74/219), preterm labor (30.6%, 67/219) and preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) (8.7%, 19/219), while in MCDA twins were preterm labor (31.0%, 22/71), selective intrauterine growth restriction (21.1%, 15/71) and gestational age≥36 weeks (19.7%, 14/71). Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors of preterm birth in twins at 28-31+6 weeks was PPROM (OR=2.390, 95%CI: 1.006-5.872,P=0.043), and for those twins at 32-33+6 weeks, the independent risk factors were MCDA (OR=2.758, 95%CI: 1.243-6.118,P=0.013), preeclampsia (OR=12.176, 95%CI:4.685-31.642,P=0.000), PPROM (OR=5.348, 95%CI: 2.151-13.294,P=0.000) and preterm labor (OR=3.274, 95%CI:1.453-7.375,P=0.004). MCDA (OR=3.666, 95%CI: 1.364-9.585,P=0.010) and preeclampsia (OR=8.086, 95%CI:1.044-62.617,P=0.045) were the risk factors in the group of 34-36+6 weeks.ConclusionsAlthough preterm birth in MCDA and DCDA twins is due to different reasons, the former has a higher incidence than the latter. The risk factors of premature delivery at different gestations are also different.
