Objective Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a rare neurodegenerative disease barely reported in China. Methods Complete neuropsychological testing on memory, cognitive function and aphasia was carried out. The brain function and structure was also examined with MRI and PET imaging analysis. Results The characteristics of clinical manifestation, neuropsychological testing and brain imaging analysis were reported. Except anomic aphasia, no other abnormal neuropsychological testing as well as sign of the nervous system was found. However, a significant atrophy and decrease in glucose metabolism of the left temporal lobe was observed.Conclusion PPA is clinically characterized by progressive anomic aphasia without impairment of the cognitive function and other abnormal sign of central nervous system. Atrophy of the frontal and temporal lobe in the dominant hemisphere provides strong support for the diagnosis.

Objective To learn the effects of crude herb moxibustion combined with rehabilitation training on the recovery of pulmonary functions and quality of life of patients with stable-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) in Nanning communities. Methods Two hundred patients with stable-stage COPD, sampled from Nanning communities and used as the subjects of this study, were divided into the experiment group and the control group by the random number table method. Patients in the control group were given conventional medication and community health care education and guides;Patients in the experiment group were not only offered the same treatment as mentioned above, but treated during dog days and the coldest days of winter with moxibustion medicine cakes which were applied accurately on selected acupuncture points, together with moxibustion with moxa cone done on the cakes. Treatment was done 6 times in each course of treatment, and 2 courses were given, combined with rehabilitation training. Examination of pulmonary functions was conducted for all patients before and after the treatment and St. George′s Respiratory Questionnaires (SGRQ) were distributed to them. Results Forced vital capacity patients, forced expiratory volume in first second, the percentage of forced expiratory volume in first second and forced vital capacity of experimental group before the intervention were (2.27 ± 0.36) L, (1.56 ± 0.30) L, (44.81 ± 5.35) %, while six months after the intervention were (3.36 ± 0.42) L, (2.25 ± 0.27) L, (65.38 ±8.08)%. The difference was statistically significant (t=18.90, 16.40, 20.36, P<0.01);The above indexes of control group respectively before intervention were (2.28±0.43) L, (1.58±0.33) L, (45.17 ± 4.97) %, while six months after the intervention were (2.57 ± 0.57) L, (1.71 ± 0.35) L, (46.94 ± 8.42)%. Difference was not statistically significant (t = 1.81, 2.04, 1.70, P > 0.05). Differences between two groups before intervention had no statistical significance (t = 0.17, 0.43, 0.47, P > 0.05), and differences between two groups after the intervention were statistically significant (t=10.62, 11.62, 14.99, P < 0.01). In the experimental group,before intervention the total score of SGRQ and the part scores of symptom, the activity ability and the influence of the disease were (16.56 ± 1.76) points, (10.44 ± 1.57) points, (18.55±2.17) points, (45.73 ± 2.53) points, 6 months after the intervention the scores were (10.77 ± 1.56) points, (7.28±1.23) points, (14.33 ±1.66) points, (32.98 ± 2.35) points. The difference was significant (t=14.82-35.50, P<0.01);In the control group before intervention the total scores of SGRQ and the part score of symptom, the activity ability and the influence of the disease were (16.47 ±1.81) points, (10.39 ± 1.66) points, (18.52 ± 2.16) points, (45.79 ± 2.49) points, 6 months after the intervention the scores were (16.12 ±1.36) points, (9.89 ±1.38) points, (16.96 ±1.58) points, (42.15±2.34) points. The lower score was not obvious, there was no statistically significant difference (t=1.45-2.17, P > 0.05). Intervention before comparing differences between two groups had no statistical significance (t=0.09-0.34, P > 0.05). Intervention after comparing differences between two groups was statistically significant (t=10.88-26.22, P<0.01). Conclusions Clinically, crude herb moxibustion combined with rehabilitation training is to some extent conducive to delaying the decrease in pulmonary functions, reducing complications, and improving the quality of life of patients with stable-stage COPD.

Objective: To study the expression of negative costimulatroy molecule B7-H4 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and its relationship with the clinical features of NSCLC. Methods: Fifty-two NSCLC specimens from pa-tients who were pathologically diagnosed in our hospital during January 2008 to April 2009 were included in the present study. B7-H4 expression and infiltration of CD3~+ T cells in NSCLC tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The correlation between B7-H4 expression, CD3~+ T infiltration, and the clinical features of NSCLC was studied. Results: The positive rate of B7-H4 in 52 NSCLC tissues was 48.08% (25/52), and B7-H4 expression in normal lung tissues was neg-ative or low (P <0.05). B7-H4 expression was positively correlated with the clinical tumor stages and lymph node metas-tasis of NSCLC (P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with tumor infiltration of CD3~+ T cells (P < 0.05), but had no re-lationship with clinicopathologie parameters of NSCLC (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Negative costimulatroy molecule B7-H4 may play important roles in the development of NSCLC. Positive expression of BT-H4 is correlated with the clinical tumor stages and lymph node metastasis of NSCLC, which provides a foundation for diagnosis and therapy of NSCLC.

Objective: To summarize the major post-operative complication of modiifed extended Morrow procedure in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and to explore the major factors affecting its prognosis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 139 consecutive HOCM patients who received the procedure by same surgeon in our hospital from 2012-06 to 2014-07. There were 87 male and 52 female patients with the age of (10-67) years, body weightof (26-105) kg and pre-operative left ventricular outlfow tract peak gradient (LVOTPG) of (84.48 ± 44.75) mmHg. Concomitant operations were performed with known cardiac disease as necessary. Pre- and post-operative echocardiography, ECG and chest X-ray were examined to assess the adequacy of resection and mitral valve structure and function. Results: There was no peri-operative death. 73/139 (53%) patients received simple modiifed expanded Morrow procedure, the other 66 (47%) patients received concomitant surgery including 21 patients with coronary artery bypass grafting, 15 mitral valve plasty, 7 mitral valve replacement, 10 tricuspid valve plasty, 2 aortic valve replacement, 3 modiifed Maze procedure, 2 unblock of right ventricular outlfow tract, 2 sub aortic membrane resection, 1 ventricular aneurysm resection. The mechanical ventilation time was (24.05±36.74) hours, post-operative ICU and in-hospital stays were (2.85±3.18) days and (10.11±4.57) days; the complications included arrhythmia in 108 cases, pleural effusion in 25 cases, secondary intubation in 1 case, tracheotomy in 1 case, hemoifltration in 1 case, intra-aortic balloon pump in 1 case, back into ICU in 3 cases; no pneumothorax, secondary thoracotomy/operation. The post-operative left atrial diameter, LVOTPG, inter-ventricular septal thickness and LVEF were all decreased; mitral valve closed well or with mild regurgitation, systolic anterior motion (SAM) basically disappeared. The major factors for delayed ICU stay included age≥55 years, female, CPB time≥120 min, AOC time≥90 min, the patients combining with arrhythmia and right ventricular dysfunction. Late follow-up presented that the patients were almost without the symptoms, NYHA classiifcation at (I-II), no late death, complication or re-operation. Conclusion: Modified expand Morrow procedure has good surgical and short/late post-operative effects, concomitant operation does not increase the complication and mortality; correction of arrhythmia and improving right ventricular function at peri-operative period are important for treating the relevant patients.
