Objective To assess diastolic functions of right ventricle in patients with essential hypertension by Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) technique.Methods Sixty patients with essential hypertension were enrolled.According to Ganau categories,these patients were divided into four groups as following: normal left ventricle(Ⅰgroup,14 cases), concentric remodeling(Ⅱgroup,13 cases), concentric hypertrophy(Ⅲgroup,18 cases) and eccentric hypertrophy(Ⅳ group,15 cases),and 20 age matched healthy subjects as control group were included.DTI data were acquired from tricuspid annular on apical four chamber and right ventricular two chamber views.Results Compared with control group,Ea/Aa

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of attention training with conventional cognitive training on cognitive impairment after stroke. Methods52 cases with cognition dysfunction after stroke were divided into the attention training group and conventional cognitive training group. They were assessed with Basic Cognitive Ability Test, Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Barthel Index, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale （NIHSS） before and 8 weeks after training. ResultsAll the patients improved their cognitive function after training, but the attention training group improved more in the digit span test, two-word recognition, and MMSE score than the conventional cognitive training group. ConclusionAttention training is a useful way to improve cognitive function in patients after stroke.
