ObjectiveTo study the effect of improving communication methods on decreasing the depression of pstients with stroke dysphasia.Methods16 patients with stroke dysphasia communicated with carton cards,body signal.All the patients were assessed by Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD) in admission day, one week and two weeks later.ResultsAfter two weeks, the patients' depressive level was decreased from(24.2±8.4) to(13.4±6.7)(P<0.001), the symptom of depression reduced 81.2%.ConclusionsImproving communication methods can decrease the depressive level of the patients with stroke dysphasia.

Objective To investigate the effects of Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK) on azomethane-oxide (AOM)/glucan sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced inflammatory colorectal cancer mouse model and intestinal stem cells. Methods AOM/DSS-induced mouse models of inflammatory-associated colorectal cancer were randomly divided into three groups, namely, model, AKK and aspirin groups, based on different administration of drugs by gavage. The tumor number, size, distribution, and burden were observed 10 weeks after intervention. Immunohistochemical method was used to analyze the expressions of Ki67 and Lgr5 proteins, which are utilized to characterize tumor malignancy and stem cells. The mRNA expressions of Lgr5, CD133, Nanog, and ALDH1 were detected by qRT-PCR. Results Compared with those of the model group, the tumor number, size, and burden of the AKK group were significantly reduced (
