BACKGROUND: Early education is an important step in raising children. Many facts prove that early education can promote infants' intellectual development so as to lay good foundation for their future development.OBJECTIVE: To understand the status of infants' intellectual development with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and analyze the effects of early education.DESIGN: Comparative observation.SETTING: Wards of the Department of Pediatrics and Department of Obstetrics, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital University of Medical Sciences.PARTICIPANTS: We recruited 100 normal newborn infants born in the Department of Obstetrics, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital University of Medical Sciences, between January 2000 and December 2001. Guardians of the infants were informed of the research objective. Infants were divided into 2 groups according to their birth date: early education group (n=50) in which the infants were born on Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday; control group (n=50) in which the infants were bom on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.METHODS: ① All the parents of the infants in the two groups received the guidance of feeding, infection prevention, inoculation and other health care guidance. On this basis, the parents of the infants in early education group were informed of intellectual development disciplinarian and educational guideline for 0-3 year-old infants when physical examination was performed on the infants at newborn period (twice) and 42 days after birth (once). The parents were asked to raise their infant according to the requirements of the guideline and communicate with the physicians at any moment. In control group, routine physical examination was performed on the infants at new-born period (twice) and 42 days after birth (once), and their parents were not given the early education of pediatric system. ② At 4 months and 3 days to 4 months and 29 days after birth, the infants in the two groups were taken back to hospital. Status of intellectual development was evaluated with intelligence scale for children revised and standardized by the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China Children Development Center according to Bayley's Scales of Infant Development [It consisted of intellectual scale and movement scale. Intellectual scale was used for 4.0-5.3 months babies (4 items, Item E: reaching out for building blocks, hand-eye coordination when reaching out, pick up building blocks, and keeping reaching out for things; Item G: noticed small pills; Item H: approached ocular; Item C: fond of playing with him).Movement scale was used for 4.0-5.3 months babies (4 items, Item A: turning their heads freely; Item E: from lying on the back to lying on the side;Item D: part of pollex face to face when holding building blocks; Item C:could sit independently for a moment)]. The primary scores of the infant was obtained from the number of an item which the infant could complete in intellectual development scale, then intellectual index and psychological movement development index were obtained according to his age span from the scale. Those with scores ＞130 were considered excellent, and those with scores ＜ 69 were mental retardation. ③ t test and U test were used in comparison of the differences in metrical and quantitative data.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison of intellectual development index and psychological development index between the infants in the two groups. ② Status of infants' intellectual scale and movement scale completion.RESULTS: Totally 100 infants entered the result analysis. ① Intellectual development: Intellectual development index and psychological movement development index were significantly higher in early education group than in control group (103.94±7.64, 111.20±9.40; 93.92±5.18,99.22±5.52, t=8.3,4.7, P ＜ 0.01). ② Status of intellectual scale completion: The number of infants who could complete Items E, D and C was obviously greater in early education group than in control group [36 infants (72%), 8 infants (16%), u=5.6, P ＜ 0.01]. ③ Status of movement scale completion: The number of infants who could complete Items E, D and C was obviously greater in early education group than in control group [45 in fants (90%), 32 infants (64%), 48 infants (96%); 30 infants (60%), 12 infants (24%), 42 infants (84%), u=2.0-4.89, P ＜ 0.05-0.01].CONCLUSION: Early education can improve infants' intellectual development, especially manipulative ability.

Objective To examine the role of SPHK-1/S1P and NFκB p65 signal pathway in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)drug-resistant cells.Methods The drug-resistant cell line of lung cancer H460/DDP was constructed and its biological characteristics were identified successfully.The expression of SPHK-l was tested by RT-PCR and Western blot methods.S1 P and some proteins related to NFκB pathway were studied by Western blot. Results The drug-resistant lung cancer cell line H460/DDP was constructed and its drug-resistant ability was evaluated (IC50H460/DDP = 50.62μg/mL, RIH460/DDP = 2.95 ). Cisplatin at a concentration of 10 - 80 μg/mL significantly decreased cell death of drug-resistant cell line (P<0 .01 ).Western blot assay analysis showed that overexpressions of SPHK-l,S1 P and NFκB p65 were significantly higher in drug-resistant cell line than in their parent cell line H460 (P=0.0415,P=0.0465,P=0.0218).RT-PCR method revealed that SPHK-1 mRNA was overexpressed in drug-resistant cell line compared with that in their parent cell line H460 (P<0.05).More NFκB p65 protein in cell nucleus was expressed in drug-resistant cells than in parent cells.Conclusion SPHK-1/S1P and NFκB p65 signal pathway may play an improtant role in the drug-resistant H460 cell line in non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects on one hand of training the other with isometric wrist extension and flexion training and its underlying mechanism.Methods Twenty healthy young girls were recruited and randomized into a training group and a control group with 10 subjects in each,using a random number table.The subjects in the training group were accepted isometric training of the wrist extensors and flexors on the right side once every other day,4 days a week for 6 weeks according to a pre-programmed protocol,while those in the control group had no intervention.Peak torque and surface electromyography (sEMG) were recorded and assessed before and after 6 weeks of training.Results In the training group,the average peak torque of right wrist flexion and extension were both significantly higher than before training (within-group comparison) and higher than in the control group (between-group comparison) after 6 weeks of training.The average peak torques of the left wrist in the training group in flexion and extension were (12.9±2.0) Nm and (6.4 ± 1.3) Nm after training,both significantly higher than before the training and stronger than the control group.In the sEMG traces during wrist extension,after training the ascend velocity of the right extensor carpi ulnaris and the integrated area of the left extensor carpi ulnaris in the training group were significantly smaller than before training and in the control group.Conclusion Unilateral isometric resistance training of the wrist muscles can transfer to the contralateral side,probably by altering muscle recruitment.

Objective To investigate the extent of cross-education between the pronation and supination muscles of the right and left forearms after unilateral isometric training.Methods Twenty healthy young girls were randomized into a training group and a control group using a random number table.The training group underwent isometric training of their right forearms for six weeks,while the control group continued ordinary life without exercises.Pronation peak torque (PPT) and supination peak torque (SPT) were assessed before and after the training for both groups.Results The differences in PPT or SPT between the training group and the control group were not significant before the training program.When the training had been completed,however,the average PPT and SPT on right side of those trained of course had increased significantly compared to before training or to the control group.More significantly,the average PPT and SPT on the left side in the training group were also significantly better than before training or in the control group after training.Conclusion Unilateral isometric training of the forearm pronation and supination muscles for six weeks can significantly increase muscle strength bilaterally,indicating good cross-education.

Objectives To observe the pre and post-operational changes of the expressions of survivin, caspase-3 and CD44V6 in patients with colorectal cancer after intra-abdominal implantation of sustained releasing fluorouracil. Meth-ods Sixty-four patients with colorectal cancer (Dukes’stage of B and C) were divided into treatment group and control group, 32 patients in each group. The standard radical surgery was performed in two groups of patients. The fluorouracil im-plants were implanted intra-abdominally in treatment group. The peripheral blood levels of surviving and caspase-3 were de-tected by RT-PCR. The level of CD44V6 was detected by flow cytometry in two groups of patients. Results There were no significant differences in levels of survivin, caspase-3 and CD44V6 before surgery between two groups (P>0.05). The level of survivin (0.362 ± 0.183) was significantly lower at 14 days after operation in treatment group than that of control group (0.585±0.207), but the level of caspase-3 (2.001±0.146) was significantly higher than that of control group (1.654±0.111). The levels of CD44V6 were significantly lower in treatment group (1.857±0.535) and control group (3.471±0.496) after opera-tion than those before operation (9.557±1.170 and 9.729±0.943, P＜0.05), and the level of CD44V6 was significantly lower in treatment group than that of control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion The implant for the sustained release of fluorouracil showed a positive impact on micrometastases and prognosis of colorectal cancer, while improved the long-term efficacy of postoperative colorectal cancer.

Objective To explore the effect of the cancer pain nursing team in standardized nursing inter-vention of pain in elderly cancer patients.Methods 76 patients in Department of Pain in our hospital were selected in our research.A random number table method was used to divide them into the control group and the observation group,with 38 cases in each group.Conventional treatment and nursing care was given to control group.The observa-tion group received routine treatment and nursing care by cancer pain nursing team,which the content of nursing was same,but the nursing method is different.Before and after the intervention,impact on pain intensity,adverse reactions and satisfaction for medical and nursing were compared between the two groups.Results Before nursing intervention, the pain score between the two groups had no statistically significant difference(P >0.05).After nursing interven-tion,pain score of the observation group was 1.5 (1,2)points,which was lower than 2(1,3)points in the control group,the observation group had better analgesic effect than the control group (Z = -4.385,P =0.000).The incidence rate of adverse reaction of the observation group was 13.16%,which was lower than 47.37% of the control group,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ2 =10.537,P =0.001).The satisfaction for medical nursing process in the observation group was (9.74 ±0.45 )points,which was higher than (9.42 ± 0.76)points of the control group (t =2.213,P =0.030).Conclusion For senile cancer patients,the cancer pain nursing team could implement the standardized nursing intervention to relieve the body pain level,reduce the adverse drug reactions,so as to improve the quality of life.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract ( GBE) on diabetic retinopathy ( DR) and its possible mechanism in rats .METHODS:Goto-Kakizaki ( GK) rats were used as a DR model, and were treated with different doses of GBE.Normal Wistar rats were used as the control.Blood glucose and retina barrier injury were analyzed, respectively.Ganglion cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining.Moreover, the protein expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2( Nrf2) , ERK, Bcl-2 and P53, and ERK phosphorylation were examined by Western blot.RESULTS:GBE reduced blood glucose in the DR rats, attenuated retina barrier injury, and decreased the apoptosis of ganglion cells. Furthermore, the expression of Nrf2 and Bcl-2, and phosphorylation of ERK were increased after GBE treatment, whereas P53 expression was decreased.CONCLUSION:GBE protects ganglion cells against apoptosis in DR rats, which may be through activation of Nrf2/ERK pathway and regulating Bcl-2 and P53 expression.
