Objective: The pilot study was to explore the possibility of discriminating schizophrenia from the normal with combination of multiple tests. Methods: Forty medication-naive (25 cases) or medication-free for at least three weeks (15 cases) patients with schizophrenia and 41 healthy normal controls matched with sex, age, headedness, and education, were recruited in the study. The Structured Clinical Interview (SCID) was used to render the DSM-Ⅳ diagnoses for schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorders. The intrahemispheric coherences between the parietal and frontal electrode pairs (left: F3/P3; right: F4/P4) and interhemispheric coherences between frontal leads (F3/F4) and parietal leads (P3/P4) in the wide-band alpha frequency and peak frequency of photic driving were calculated at rest and during 1Hz light stimulation, respectively. Tests of exploratory eye tracking movement test (ETM), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), and Continuous Performance Test (CPT) were finished in the same working day. Stepwise discriminant function analyses were chosen to re-classify the patients and controls. Results:In the discriminant analyses, 61.7% of the subjects could be correctly classified into groups of patients or normal controls using the EEG coherence alone, 77.27% with ETM measures alone, and 70.6% when WCST and CPT parameters were combined. The correct discriminate rate increased to 81.5% when all the above variables were taken into consideration.Conclusion:In consideration of the heterogeneity of schizophrenia, it is suggested necessarily to combine multiple tests to make discrimination of schizophrenia.

Objective: To explore eye tracking movements of patients with depression.Methods:Thirty-one patients with depression were tested by tracking of exploratory eye movement (Type-Ⅳ) before and after treatment (mean interval 34?8 days), at the same time HAMD was applied. Thirty-one normal controls were tested by tracking of exploratory eye movement either.Results:There were significant differences of discriminant analysis between the results of patients and controls (0.52?1.58,0.79?1.44, vs.-1.00?0.85,t=4.40, 5.80, P0.05);Conclusion:There is statistical difference in exploratory eye tracking movements of depressive patients and that of controls. After depression improved, no significant changes were noted between the main indexes of eye tracking movements of the first test and that of the second test.

Objective To evaluate chest CT features of microscopic polyangiitis(MPA).Methods Clinical data and chest CT images of 66 patients diagnosed as MAP had been collected.Depending on clinical manifestations.the 66 cases were divided into the active group and the stable group.The data of two groups were analyzed by x2 test.Results Forty-three of 66(65.2%)CT images were abnormal including 32 of them in active group and 11 in stable group. In these patients,CT images showed ground glass opacities(53.5%),lung consolidations(23.2%),scattered patchy opacities(44.2%),ground glass opacities and/or lung consolidations(76.7%),reticular opacities(65.1%),honeycomb(14.0%),pleural effusions(48.8%),emphysema(18.6%),and mediastinal adenopathies(58.1%).Lung consolidations,ground glass opacities,scattered patchy opacities,mediastinal adenopathies,and pleural effusion in the active group are more common than that in the stable group(X2=4.479,4.083,4.053,9.697,9.345 respectively,P<0.05).Conclusion Chest CT features of in patients with MPA have difference between active and stable periods.The chest CT scan is a useful tool to diagnose MAP in different periods and guide the treatment.

Objective　To examine the effect of endovascular irradiation on restenosis after balloon angioplasty in rabbit. Methods　After the establishment of rabbit iliac atherosclerosis model, balloon angioplasty was performed at the lesion segment of the iliac artery. Rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: control group, 10 Gy irradiated group and 18 Gy irradiated group. Endovascular irradiation was performed for irradiated groups at the dilated sites by introducing the 192Ir radioactive guidewire through a catheter. After four weeks, the animals were killed and the target segments were cut down. Histopathologic and morphometric analyses were carried out. Results　The mean final lumen area in the 18 Gy group was larger than that in the control or 10 Gy group (P<0.05). The intimal area in the 18 Gy group was smaller (P<0.05). Conclusions　192Ir endovascular irradiation may prevent restenosis after balloon angioplasty. The effect is related to the delivered dose. The mechanism is involved in inhibition of neointimal proliferation.
