Communication disorders of children with autism need early intervention with various kinds of augmentative and alternative communication technology. Currently, the main intervention techniques include picture exchange communication system (PECS), speech generating device (SGD) and intelligent augmentative and alternative communication combined with mobile technology. This article intro-duced children with autism, augmentative and alternative communication system and relationship between them.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s have a close relationship with tumor occurrence and development, which are not only involved in tumor recruitment but impact the biological behavior of tumor cel s. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on the biological behavior prostate cancer cel line. METHODS:Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from healthy adults were col ected and cultured in vitro. Cel morphology and cel markers were observed. Using the Transwel technique, human dermal fibroblasts HDF-a were co-cultured with human prostate carcinoma DU145 cel s in positive control group, wild-type prostate carcinoma DU145 cel s cultured alone in negative control group, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s co-cultured with human prostate carcinoma DU145 cel s in experimental group. Flow cytometry assay was used to detect the cel cycle of prostate carcinoma DU145 cel s, soft agar colony formation assay performed to detect cel proliferative ability, and crystal violet staining used to observe DU145 cel migration at 3 days after culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the negative control group, cel proportion at G 2/M+S phase, number of transmembrane cel s and colony counting were significantly decreased in the experimental group. These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of prostate carcinoma DU145 cel s by shortening the G 2/M+S phase, thereby providing a new insight into the treatment of human prostate cancer.

Objective To research the clinical effect and operation way of total knee arthroplasty for severe knee valgus deformity. Methods From March 2011 to September 2013, 17 cases (23 knees) with severe knee valgus deformity were selected as the research ob-ject. Metered the tibial angle and checked the activity of knee joint of all the patients before operation. All patients were scored with HSS knee scoring system. Through the selection of lateral parapatellar approach, targeted osteotomy, selective lateral soft tissuelax, patients were given total knee arthroplasty for the treatment of severe knee valgus deformity. The femoral and tibial angle of patients was measured again after the operation. All patients were reexamined after 6 months which included checking the activity of knee joint, evaluating the therapeutic effect of patients with HSS knee scoring system. Results All patients were reexamined in our hospital 6 months after surgery, the degree of femoral and tibial angle decreased from (28. 4 ± 4. 9)° to (5. 2 ± 2. 3)°; knee joint range of motion increased from (65. 4 ± 16. 7)° to (106. 7 ± 27. 3)°;HSS score increased from (38. 46 ± 3. 75) point to (87. 41 ± 4. 77) point. Postoperative indexes were significantly im-proved compared with preoperative indexes, and the differences were of statistical significance (P<0. 05). Conclusion The curative effect is remarkable for patients with severe knee valgus deformity using patellar medial approach, standard osteotomy combined with selective soft tissue release, and total knee arthroplasty. And the knee valgus deformity of patients was corrected and the quality of life has been signifi-cantly improved.

Objective To explore the clinical effects of Jiawei Bazhen in treatment of fracture nonunion in children .Methods 60 cases of patients with fracture nonunion from December 2014 to June 2015 in Weinan Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital were divided into experimental group and control group according to random number table, 30 cases in each group.The control group were treated by Shangke Jiegu tablet combined with staphylococcal enterotoxin C injection, and the experimental group were treated by Jiawei Bazhen combined with staphylococcal enterotoxin C injection, with a consecutive treatment of 6 weeks.The efficacy, arthritis symptom score, serum bone morphogenetic protein-7(BMP-7) and vascular endothelial growth factor( VEGF) were compared between two groups.Results The total effective rate in experimental group were higher than that in control group (χ2 =6.667,P<0.05).The arthritis symptom score in experimental group was lower than that in control group(P<0.05).The serum levels of BMP-7 and VEGF in experimental group were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between two groups(χ2 =1.086,P>0.05).Conclusion Jiawei Bazhen could improve the clinical symptoms, increase the levels of BMP-7 and VEGF, and promote the bone fracture's concresc in children with fracture nonunion, with fewer adverse reactions, which has distinct clinical curative effect.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of herceptin to rat bladder cancer. Methods Totally 50 SD rats were randomly divided into experimental group (n=40) and control group (n=10). The rats of experimental group received a perfusion into the bladder with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) at 2.5 mg every time, once per 3 weeks for 4 times in all, while those of the control group underwent a perfusion with normal saline instead of MNU. In 1 week after the last perfusion, the bladders were slited for gross observation and the biopsies were carried out for pathological observation with HE staining. Immunohistochemical SP method and RT-PCR were applied to detect HER-2 protein and mRNA expression in tumor tissues. Then 16 rats with HER-2 positive bladder cancer were randomly and equally divided into treatment group (herceptin, 20 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection, once per week for 6 weeks) and non-treatment group (normal saline, 0.5 ml). Tumor weight, size and shape were measured and calculated for the inhibitory rate of herceptin. HE staining was carried out for the morphology of the tumor mass. The expression of HER-2 protein was detected with immunohistochemical SP method, and apoptosis in bladder tumor tissues with TUNEL method. Results The results of inhibitory rate was 50.0%, and it showed that the differences were statistically significant in treatment group compared with non-treatment group (P

Objective To explore the protein expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), and to investigate their relationships between their serum concentration before operation and the infiltration and metastasis of thyroid carcinoma. Methods The protein expressions of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in 32 cases of thyroid carcinomas, 23 cases of adjacent tissues and 30 cases of benign hyperplastic lesions were measured by using immunohistochemistry. The preoperative serum concentrations of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in 21 cases of thyroid carcinomas and 19 cases of benign hyperplastic lesions were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results The positive expression rates of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in tumor tissues were significantly higher (75.0%,56.3%)than those in adjacent tissues and benign hyperplastic lesions (30.4%, 21.7%; 26.7%, 23.3%) P
