Objective To investigate the effect of Tomatis audio training on executive dysfunction in patients with stroke. Methods A total of 80 stroke patients from the Rehabilitation Branch,Tangshan Worker′s Hospital were enrolled prospectively. They were divided into either a music group or a control group (n = 40 in each group)according to random number table. On the basis of conventional rehabilitation training,both groups received music training. The patients of the control group received conventional music training (conventional frequency music without audio processing);the patients of the music group received Tomatis audio training. Both groups were trained at the same time,once a day for 60 -90 min,and they were trained for 2 cycles. The first cycle was 14 days and the second one was 10 days,the interval of the 2 cycles was 30 days (a total of 54 days). The Behavioral Assessment of Dys-executive Syndrome (BADS)was used to assess their executive dysfunction before and after music training. Results The 6 sub-projects of BADS in the music group after music training:the rule shift cards test,action program test,key seek test, temporal judgment test,zoo map test,modified six elements test,and total standard score (median 75 ])2. 0 (1. 2,2. 7),2. 0 (1. 0,2. 0),2. 0 (1. 0,2. 0),2. 0 (1. 0,2. 0),2. 0 (2. 0,2. 0),2. 0 (2. 0,3. 0),and 11. 0 (11. 0,12. 0),respectively). They were compared with those of the control group (1. 0[1. 0,2. 0],1. 0[1. 0,2. 0],1. 0[1. 0,2. 0],1. 0[1. 0,2. 0],1. 0[1. 0,2. 0],1. 0[1. 0,1. 0],and 8. 0[8. 0,10. 0],respectively]. There were significant differences between the 2 groups (all P < 0. 05). Conclusion Tomatis audio training may effectively improve the executive function in patients with stroke.

Objective To evaluate the endometrium receptivity of endometriosis (EMs) infertile patients, and observe the influence of TCM treatment to endometrium receptivity and IVF-ET pregnancy outcome. Methods Fifty EMs infertile patients were randomly divided into two groups. The reatment group (30 cases) kept taking TCM for 3 month continuously before IVF-ET embryo transplantation, and the control group (20 cases) received no treatment, with 30 healthy women as normal control. Using transvaginal color doppler ultrasound to detect and compare the endometrial thickness, endometrium and endometrial blood flow distribution types, and uterine artery blood flow parameters in window transvaginal stage. Results There was no difference in endometrial thickness between the EMs infertility patients and the normal group, and the endometrial thickness also had no obvious changes before and after treatment (P>0.05). RI and PI of EMs infertility patients were significantly increased, compared the with normal control group (P<0.05). In treatment group, the persentage of type Ⅰ blood distribution was 23.33%(7/30), in control group was 25.00%(5/20), and 66.67%(20/30) in the normal group, significantly higher than that of the EMs infertility patients (P<0.01). Uterine artery blood flow parameters RI, PI value were significantly decreased after treatment in treatment group, endometrium and endometrial blood flow type Ⅰ distribution increased to 60.00%(18/30). The rate of normal pregnancy was 46.67% (14/30) in treatment group, and control group was 30.00% (6/20). Conclusion EMs may affect uterine artery hemodynamic status and endometrium receptivity. TCM treatment can improve the endometrium receptivity of EMs infertile patients and improve the success rate of IVF-ET.

Objective To analyze the outcomes of frozen-thawed blastocyst and cleavage embryo transfer after whole embryos cryopreservation. Methods The data of 489 IVF-ET cycles in reproductive medicine center of our hospital from September 2012 to August 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Whole embryos cryopreservation in 214 patients were carried out with vitrification method and served as group A , 275 cycles performed fresh embryo transfer were served as group B. Then group A and group B were subdivided into group A1 (83 cycles),group A2 (131 cycles), group B1 (120 cycles)and group B2 (155 cycles)according to blastocyst transfer or cleavage-stage embryo transfer. The clinical outcomes of all groups were compared each other. Results The pregnancy rate and embryo implantation rate in group A1 were significantly higher(71.1% ,53.0%)than those in group A2, B1 and B2 (A2 group: 57.3%, 34.0%, B1group: 55.0%,42.1%, B2 group: 52.9%, 32.7%,respectively)(P<0.05). The embryo implantation rate in group B1 were higher than those in group B2 (P < 0.05). Conclusion F-ET after whole embryos freezing could significantly improve the embryo utilization rate and clinical pregnancy rate. Frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer could get better clinical outcomes than frozen-thawed cleavage-stage embryo transfer.
