[Summary] Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) is an alkaline leucine zipper transcriptional factor ,which is involved in many physiological metabolism processes such as stress response ,inflammation and tumor growth. Moreover ,recent studies have shown that ATF4 also plays a key role in regulating lipid and glucose metabolism ,insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity ,which may related to pathways such as endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS ) ,peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma coactivator (PGC1α) and target of rapamycin (TOR). This article summarized the recent research progress of ATF4 in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism.

Objective To investigate the effect of attention training on cortical activation area and lateralization index in interference effect of dual-task paradigm as the poststroke nonfluent aphasiacs processing the Chinese character tasks. Methods 20 cases with nonfluent aphasia after stroke were divided into the training group and the control group, who accepted attention training and cognitive training respectively, 30 min a time, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. They were investigated the cortical activation area and lateralization index caused by interference effect of dual-task paradigm under block design. Results The right inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral parietal and cerebellar cortex were activated before training in both groups, and more activated after attention training, but no change after cognitive training. Lateralization index suggested that the right brain was more activated before training, while the left side was activated after attention training, but no change after cognitive training. Conclusion The right inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral parietal and cerebellar cortex are very important in solving the dual task interference in the attention stage, and they are activated after attention training. It indicates that attention training makes a significant functional reorganization on Chinese character processing in poststroke nonfluent aphasiacs.

Objective To explore the influence of attention training on Chinese character processing capability in poststroke nonfluent aphasiacs. Methods 60 stroke patients with nonfluent aphasia and cognition dysfunction were divided into control group (n=30) and experimental group (n=30). The trainings (attention training and cognition training) were respectively 30 minutes each time, 5 times each week for 4 weeks. The change of reaction time and error rate were compared before and after they were performing the orthographic, semantic and phonological tasks. Results In the dual-task paradigm the change of reaction time and error rate in orthographic and semantic tasks of the experimental group were all higher than the control group (P<0.001). But there was no difference between the two groups in the phonological task (P>0.05). In the single task paradigm there was no difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion 1. Attention training can improve the processing capacity significantly in orthographic and semantic tasks in the dual-task paradigm because the volume and distributive ability of attention improve significantly. 2. Attention training can't improve the processing capacity in phonological tasks in the dual- task paradigm because reading aloud and judging are required to process the vowel simultaneously. So that the competion intensifies and it is more difficult to finish the task. 3. In the single task paradigm, there is no significant difference between the influence of the two trainings in poststroke nonfluent aphasiac because the single task needs little attention and the change in the control group is enough.

Objective To observe the abnormalities of speech production when developmental stutterers reading four-character Chinese words aloud and to discuss its etiology mechanisms. Methods The speech production results between the developmental stutterers and normal speakers when reading four-character Chinese words under the voice reaction time paradigm and computerize program in acoustic data analysis were compared. Results The voice duration time (VDT) of developmental stuttering group (791±82) ms was longer than that of the control group (687±93) ms (t=3.42,P<0.01),but the differences of voice reaction time (VRT) and voice error rate (VER) were not significant between these two groups. Conclusion The speech fluency disorders of developmental stuttering maybe mainly exist in the stage of speech movement, and probably due to the speech production disturbed with language processing.

Objective To investigate the self-regulation of the autonomic nervous system following the cognitive stress tests after heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback therapy in patients with post-stroke depression (PSD). Methods From May, 2013 to December, 2015, 48 patients with PSD were randomly divided into feedback group (n=25) and control group (n=23). The feedback group received HRV biofeed-back therapy, while the control group only received relaxation therapy without feedback signal. HRV parameters were tracked during the cognitive stress test in quiet baseline state, cognitive stress state, and resting state before and after treatment. Results Under the stress condi-tion, the low frequency of both groups increased during the first cognitive test, and the rate was higher in the control group than in the feed-back group (P=0.02). The heart rates during the second cognitive test decreased in the feedback group, while increased in the control group (P=0.05). After rest, the heart rate of the feedback group decreased below the baseline (P=0.02). Conclusion During the cognitive stress test, HRV biofeedback therapy can achieve a dynamic balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves by reducing sympathetic sensibility, which improved patients' adaptive capacity to cope with their internal physiological environment and external environmental pressures.
