In order to study the treatment of the children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the integrated visual and auditory continuous performance test (IVA-CPT) was clinically applied to evaluate the effectiveness of electroencephalogram (EEG) biofeedback training. Of all the 60 children with ADHD aged more than 6 years, the effective rate of EEG biofeedback training was 91.6% after 40 sessions of EEG biofeedback training. Before and after treatment by EEG biofeedback training, the overall indexes of IVA were significantly improved among predominately inattentive, hyperactive, and combined subtype of children with ADHD (P<0.001). It was suggested that EEG biofeedback training was an effective and vital treatment on children with ADHD.

ObjectiveTo determine the effect of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) on the effect of bundle treatment for severe pneumonia.Methods A prospective historical control observation was conducted. Seventy-five patients with severe pneumonia having received MCDA (from January 2013 to August 2014) were assigned as intervention group. MCDA group was set up by the medical staff. Bundled treatment plan was composed of the MCDA evaluation results, anti-infection, phlegm and other conventional treatment measures which was adjust on time until the patient was transferred out of the respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) or died. Seventy patients with severe pneumonia before receiving MCDA (from August 2010 to December 2012) were set as historical control group. Comparison of general condition before treatment and the incidence of hospital infection, average hospitalization cost, duration of RICU stay and mortality between these two groups were performed.Results There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, past history, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score at admission between two groups. Compared with control group, the incidence of hospital infection [1.33% (1/75) vs. 11.43% (8/70),χ2 = 4.723,P = 0.030], mean hospitalization cost in RICU (10 thousand Yuan: 3.44±0.79 vs. 3.76±0.91,t = 2.265, P = 0.025), length of RICU stay (days: 15.01±4.22 vs. 16.92±4.79,t = 2.552,P = 0.012) and mortality in RICU [8.0% (6/75) vs. 21.4% (15/70),χ2 = 5.272,P = 0.032] in intervention group was significantly decreased. Conclusions Application of MCDA in the bundle treatment of severe pneumonia could elevate the scientificalness of decision, and reduce the medical cost. Additionally, MCDA is worth to be generalized because the implementation of guidelines can improve the clinical outcome and prognosis of the patients.

Objective To observe the effects of kidney-tonifying therapy on spatial learning, memory abilities and ultrastructure of hippocampal dentate gyrus ( DG ) cells of kidney deficiency rats induced by sexual intemperance. Methods SD rats with low reproductive capacity were caused by continuously mating for 6 months, and then were randomly divided into 5 groups, namely model group, low- and high-dose of Liuwei Dihuang pills (LDP) groups (in the dosage of 4.8, 9.6 g·kg-1·d-1), low-and high-dose of Jingui Shenqi pills (JSP) group (in the dosage of 5.2, 10.4 g·kg-1·d-1), 8 rats in each group. Except the model group, the other groups were respectively given with the corresponding medication. SD rats aged 2 months served as the normal control group. After treatment for 30 continuous days, the learning and memory abilities of rats were examined by Morris Water Maze. The cell ultra structure of hippocampal dentate gyrus was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results The results of the place navigation test of Morris water maze showed that the escape latency of rats was prolonged obviously in the model group compared with that of the normal control group (P<0.01), and the escape latency of rats in the medication groups was shorter than the kidney deficiency model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The results of spatial probe test showed that the residence time in the former hidden platform quadrant and its surrounding area was significantly shortened in the model group compared with that of the normal control group ( P<0.01) , but was prolonged after medication of high-dose JSP ( P<0.05 or P<0.01 compared with that of the model group). Under the electron microscope, the cell ultra structure lesions of hippocampal dentate gyrus were much relieved in the high-dose LDP group, and high-dose JSP group as compared with those of the model group. Conclusion ( 1) Long-term sexual intemperance can impair spatial learning and memory abilities and causes the cell ultra structure lesions of hippocampal dentate gyrus of rats. (2) The kidney-tonifying therapy can significantly alleviate the spatial learning and memory disturbance and the cell ultra structure lesions of hippocampal dentate gyrus induced by sexual intemperance. ( 3) There are not significant differences between the two kidney-tonifying therapies in improving spatial learning and relieving cell ultra structure lesions. The effect of JSP on improving spatial memory abilities is better than that of LDP.
