OBJECTIVE: To confirm the efficacy and safety of latanoprost in treating glaucoma.METHODS: In a double blind, randomized control clinical trial, we compared the efficacy and adverse drug reactions of once daily topically applied 0.005% latanoprost with those of twice daily 0.5% timolol for 12 weeks in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.RESULTS: The study included 46 patients(22 pts.randomized to latanoprost treatment, 24 pts.to timolol) , 46 patients remained at the end of the study.Comparing with baseline diurnal intraocular pressure(IOP) , the IOP reduction(mean±standard deviation) achieved with latanoprost(7.86±2.39) mmHg, (31.1%, P<0.001),and timolol(6.24±2.58)mmHg (24.9%,P<0.001),the difference between the two groups(1.62mmHg) being significant(P<0.01). Two patients treated with latanoprost had foreign body sensation. No other ocular and systemic adverse reactions related to the two drugs were found. CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrated that 0.005% latanoprost applied once daily is well tolerated and more effective in reducing IOP than 0.5% timolol applied twice daily. Thus, latanoprost has the potential for becoming one of the ideal antiglaucoma drugs.

Objective To evaluate the damaged level of auditory processing and diagnose the type of language impairment in an auditory agnosia patient using Psycholinguistic Assessment in Chinese Aphasia (PACA), and predict the outcome of the language function. Methods A patient with a bilateral damage involving the temporal lobe could physically hear the sounds, but was unable to recognize or differentiate between the sounds. Speech and language evaluations were taken with PACA 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 3 months after the onset of disease. Results At 4 weeks, the correct rates were 2.5% and 95.0% in spoken word-picture matching and written word-picture matching (P<0.001), and were 5.6% and 80.6% in spoken semantic knowledge and written semantic knowledge (P<0.001). The scores of auditory input processing function score were low, including phoneme discrimination, spoken word matching with minimal differences, environmental sounds identification. The correct rates were 67.5% in oral picture naming, 0 in word repetition, 70.0% in word reading, 0 in dictation, 100.0% in directly copy writing. At 8 weeks and 3 months, there was complete recovery in written word- picture matching (both 100%) and written semantic knowledge (97.2%, 100%), and improvement in oral picture naming (87.5%, 90%), word repetition (87.5%, 97.5%), picture name writing (77.5%, 87.5%) and copy writing (both 100%) (P<0.05). But no change was found in auditory input processing function examinations, spoken word-picture matching (5.0%, 7.5%), spoken semantic knowledge (2.8%, 5.6%), word repetition (0, 3.3%) and dictation (both 0). Conclusion The patient was diagnosed as auditory agnosia with the inability to distinguish sounds. PACA can well identify the impaired level of auditory comprehension disorder and the outcome of language function recovery for aphasics.

Objective To analyze the main causes of physical disability in adults in Guangdong province in China, and to provide prevention and treatment strategies. Methods Data on Guangdong from China's Second Na-tional Sample Survey on disability in 2006 were carefully collected. Physical disability was categorized according to different causes. In each category or group, multiple factors including the severity, distribution in urban or rural are-as, and the age of onset were analyzed with appropriate statistical methods. Prevention and treatment were then for-mulated based on the data. Results The severity of disability, distribution in rural and urban areas, and the age of onset were significantly different in different groups. The main cause was cerebral vascular diseases (16.7%). The incidence of physical disability was much higher in rural areas than that in urban areas (31.8% vs 68.2% ) except for brain trauma and toxication. The main cause for physical disability among young and middle-aged people was poly-myelitis (17.1% and 14.8% respectively) ; in old people it was osteoarthrosis (35.7%). Conclusions In order to lower the incidence of physical disability and to alleviate its severity, more work should be done in the prevention and treatment of cerebral vascular disease, spinal injury, cerebral palsy, polymyelitis and osteoarthrosis. In addition more financial and technical support is needed in rural areas.

Objective To probe deficits in visuospatial attention using an attention network test (ANT) in patients with frontoparietal network lesions. Methods The ANT was used to measure the alertness, orienting and executive control abilities of 25 patients with local brain lesions, including 13 with frontal and 12 with parietal damage. Their results were compared with those of health adults. Results During ANT tasks, the patients' responses were significantly slower on each cue and target condition than controls', and showed deficits in their alerting and orienting networks. The efficiency of executive control was impaired in patients with frontal lesions, but increased with parietal lesions. Conclusions These findings suggest that the frontoparietal network is involved in alerting and orienting, but the executive control function may be selectively associated with the frontal lobe. ANT is an efficienttool for studying visual attention and cognition.
