Objective: To explore the personality traits in the people at high risk for schizophrenia.Methods: 188 individuals at high risk for schizophrenia,and 321 normal controls were assessed by Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire(SPQ).Results: The score of negative schizotypal dimension in SPQ in the individuals at high risk was higher than in the normal controls.Conclusion: The people at high risk for schizophrenia have negative schizotypal personality traits which may represent a genetic endophenotype for schizophrnia.

The head injury patients is very common in clinic and it is complicated to cure them.Furthermore,many ethical questions are involved during the treatment,which are discussed in the article.The aim is to be helpful to protect both patients'and medical staff's right,reduce medical disputes and form a good relationship between doctors and patients from the view of ethics.Accordingly,the patients of head injury will acquire better treatment.

Objective: To study the right hemisphere function state of NLD children. Methods: Adapting tachistoscopic vision and Benton Revised Visual Retention Test (VRT), three groups involving 20 children each were studied. Results: Under the tachistoscopic vision, NLD children achived poorly in recognition of nonverbal stimulus; and they do worse also in VRT test, with more errors of omission and distortion. Conclusion: Compared with normal children, the function of NLD children's right hemisphere is relatively weaker.

ObjectiveTo assess different treatments on nonspecific low back pain.Methods246 subjects were assigned to 3 groups, a control group(n=82), a home exercise group(n=82) or a strengthening exercise group(n=82). Follow-up data were obtained at 1 months, 3 months and 6 months after the treatment. Primary outcome measures were modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire for disability and Numeric Pain Rating Scale for pain.ResultsThe home exercise and strengthening exercise groups experienced greater improvements in disability than the control group 6 months after the treatment. The strengthening exercise group demonstrated greater change than home exercise group.ConclusionActive rehabilitation therapy may benefit nonspecific low back pain patients.

To develop intelligent informatized system for the quality control of ECG monitor. Based on the platform of PowerBuilder and SQL Server and using scientific management process as the standard, the informa-tized system was developed to cover all aspects of ECG monitor quality control. This informatized system, which closely accorded with related laws and regulations, had graded authority, clear responsibilities, multi functions and easy operation. Computer information technology plays an important role in scientific management system of ECG monitor quality control.

Objective:To investigate the effects of pulsed neodymium yttrium aluminium garnet(Nd:YAG)laser in combination with scaling and root planing(SRP)in the treatment of moderate and server chronic periodontitis.Methods:30 patients with moderate or server chronic periodontitis were included in this split-mouth single blind randomized controlled clinical trial.The contralateral teeth with chronic periodontitis in the patients were randomly divided into 2 groups(n =55)and treated by SRP(group A)and SRP +Laser (group B)respectively.At base line,3 and 6 months after treatment.The clinical parameters including periodontal probing depth (PPD),vertical clinical attachment loss(CAL-V),bleeding index(BI)and CBCT data including alveolar bone density(ABD)and height(ABH)were measured.Results:3 months after treatment,the PPD and BI of group B was lower than those of group A(P <0.05).The gained CAL-V of group B was higher than that of group A(P <0.05).6 months after treatment,group B showed higher CAL-V and ABD at the mesial and distal directions than group A(P <0.05).Conclusion:SRP combined Nd:YAG laser is more ef-fective than SRP in the treatment of moderate and server chronic periodontitis.

Objective To design a set of quality control management platform of ECG monitor in order to evaluate the quality of ECG monitor quickly and objectively and monitor and record the whole course of quality control.Methods The quality control platform was designed with the existing ECG monitor quality control methods, the existing detection devices, database technique and digital recognition technique based on neural network.Results The platform could be used for the intelligent data acquisition, data recognition, data analysis and statistics of ECG monitor quality control.Conclusion The platform may enhance the quality control of ECG monitor greatly.

Objective: To observe the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on proliferation, cell cycle and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods: HUVECs were culturedin vitro at the concentration of (1×105/ml) and the cells were divided into 2 sets of groups:CSWT group, the cells were treated by different energy of (0.03, 0.09, 0.18, 0.24) mJ/mm2 respectively and corresponding Control group, in which the cells had no CSWT. HUVEC proliferation was detected by CCK colorimetric method, cell cycle was measured by lfow cytometry, mRNA and protein expressions of ICAM-1 were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis respectively. Results: Compared with Control group, (0.09 mJ/mm2) CSWT group had promoted HUVECs proliferation,P<0.05 and the other CSWT groups were similar to corresponding Control groups,P>0.05; (0.09 mJ/mm2) CSWT group showed decreased proportion of G0/G1 stage and increased S and G2/M stages, allP<0.05; while (0.03 mJ/mm2) CSWT group only increased the proportion of G2/M stage,P<0.05 and the other CSWT groups were similar to corresponding Control group,P>0.05. Compared with Control group, (0.09 mJ/mm2 ) and (0.03mJ/mm2) CSWT groups showed increased mRNA expression of ICAM-1 (9.27±0.95) vs (1.02±0.27),P<0.001 and (7.08±0.60) vs (1.02±0.27),P<0.01; (0.09 mJ /mm2) CSWT group had elevated protein expression of ICAM-1,P<0.05. Conclusion: ESWT especially at (0.09 mJ/mm2) may accelerate cell cycle transition from G0/G1 stage to S and G2/M stages, promote HUVECs proliferation and increase ICAM-1 expression which may play important roles in ESWT facilitated angiogenesis in vitro.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that extracorporeal shock wave therapy is an effective, safe, and non-invasive treatment for ischemic heart disease, which can improve angiogenesis in the ischemic myocardium. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research advances in promotion of angiogenesis for ischemic myocardium by extracorporeal shock wave therapy. METHODS:A computer-based online search of PubMed database and CNKI database was performed for relevant articles published between 1998 and 2014 with key words of “shock wave, ischemic heart disease, angiogenesis, cytokine, stem cel” in English and Chinese, respectively. Articles related to the promotion of angiogenesis for ischemic cardiovascular disease by extracorporeal shock wave were selected. Repetitive articles were excluded. According to inclusion criteria, 51 literatures were selected in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy can improve angiogenesis in the ischemic myocardium by mobilizing proliferation and differentiation of stem cels into vascular endothelial cels, and by enhancing the expression of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor. Moreover, the extracorporeal shock wave therapy can create a local favorable microenvironment for angiogenesis by inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis and by regulating components of the extracelular matrix. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy plays an important role in the angiogenesis of ischemic myocardium and displays a good clinical prospect in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. However, the specific mechanism requires further studies.
