Computer-administered neurobehavioral evaluation system (NES)was developed based on the neurobehavioral core test battery (NCTB)recommended by WHO/NIOSH in 1985. Compared with NCTB,the reliability and validity of NES was much improved and some disadvantages of NCTB were made up in NES. This article reviewed the history of NES development,its application in the evaluation of children's neurobehavioral functions and its defects. The studies suggested that some items of NES test,such as finger tapping,continuous performance test and hand-eye coordination,could be used to evaluate earlier damage induced by chemicals on neurobehavioral functions of children.

Objective To compare the ventilatory effects between three-way laryngeal mask airway (TLMA)and tracheal catheter (TC) on hemodynamics, respiratory function and stress responses on patients during bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Method Forty patients scheduled for BAL under general anesthesia were divided (stratified sampling) into either TLMA group (group T,n = 20) or TC group (group C, n = 20) according to the stratified sampling principle. SpO2, SBP, DBP and HR were measured in 5 min after entering the operating theater (To), just before inserting TLMA or TC(T1), immediately after inserting TLMA or TC(T2) ,3 min(T3), 5 min(T4), 10 min(T5)after mechanical ventilation, 10 min(T6),20 min(T7), 30 min(T8)during the course of BAL,immediately after extubating TLMA or TC (T9)and 3 min after extubating TLMA or TC (T10). The tidal volume (VT), peak inspiratory airway pressure (Ppeak) and end expiratory CO2 pressure(PETCO2)were recorded at T2,T4,T6,T7, T8, T10. The venous blood samples were taken at T0, T2, T3, T4, T6, T9, T10 for the measurements of epinephrine(AE), norepinephrine(NE)and dopamine (DA) levels with high performance liquid chromatography.Data were dealt with SPSS version 10.0 statistic software. The variables of hemodynamics and stress responses were analyzed with ANOVA of repeating test data. P < 0.05 means the difference in statistical significance. Results In group C, SBP, DBP and HR were significantly higher than those in group T at T2 ,T3 ,T9 (P < 0.05). In group C, the levels of Ppeak were significantly higher than those in group T at T6 ,T7 ,T8 (P < 0.05), and the concentrations of AE, NE and DA were also significantly higher in group C than those in group T at T2, T3 and T9 (P <0.05). Conclusions Ventilation with TLMA in patients during BAL is better than TC in respects of keeping stable ventilation, stable hemodynamics and producing less stress responses.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of malnutrition and its association with prognosis in hospitalized patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. MethodsA total of 101 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis who were treated in our department from January 2013 to December 2014 were enrolled, and according to the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002, they were divided into malnutrition risk group and non-malnutrition risk group. Serum nutritional indices, anthropometric parameters, body composition, and the incidence rates of complications and fatality within 6 months were compared between the two groups. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsCompared with the non-malnutrition risk group, the malnutrition risk group had significantly lower serum levels of albumin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and hemoglobin, body mass index, arm muscle circumference, triceps skinfold thickness, and grip strength (t=12.562, 5.967, 4.024, 14775, 4607, 7.182, 7.424, and 2.256, all P<0.05). Compared with the non-malnutrition risk group, the malnutrition risk group had significantly lower intracellular water, total body water (TBW), protein, fat, and skeletal muscle content (t=2920, 6152, 1713, 2444, and 1.693, all P<0.05), as well as a significantly higher extracellular water/TBW ratio (t=1.998, P<005). Compared with the non-malnutrition risk group, the malnutrition risk group had significantly higher incidence rates of gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, portal vein thrombosis, and electrolyte disturbance and fatality (χ2=6.410, 4.436, 3.978, 4316, and 7.285, all P<0.05). ConclusionPatients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and malnutrition have significantly increased incidence rates of complications and fatality, and it is necessary to enhance nutrition screening in the early stage of liver cirrhosis.
