Objective To explore the characteristics of prospective memory ( PM ) deficit in acute stroke patients with cognitive impairment.MethodsSixty patients suffering from acute stroke who met the inclusion criteria in screening with the neurobehavioral cognitive status examination (NCSE) were enrolled into the experimental group. Sixty healthy participants who matched the experimental group in gender distribution and average age and education level were assigned as a control group. All the participants completed several neuropsychological evaluations,including the Chinese version of the Cambridge prospective memory test ( C-CAMPROMT), the Chinese version of the Rivermead behavior memory test (C-RBMT), a digit-span test (DS), the Chinese version of Stroop's word-color test (C-SWCT) and a color trail test (CTT).ResultsTime-based PM (TBPM) scores in the control group were significantly higher than in the experimental group. At the intention initiation stage TBPM scores in the control group were also significantly better than in the experimental group. The TBPM performance of the experimental group was significantly worse than that of the controls when PM performance was compared with other cognitive functions controlled for.ConclusionsThe acute stroke patients with cognitive impairment showed greater TBPM performance deficits than the controls. This may have resulted from impairment at the intention initiation stage. TBPM deficits may exist independently. If so, they could serve as an assessment of cognitive impairment after stroke.

Inner fistula by abdomino-back anastomosis of cephalic vein to radial artery was erformed in 86 patients with hemodialysis (test group) and end-to side arteriovenous anastomosis was performed in 85 cases (control group).There were no significant differences in postoperative anastomotic blood flow and vascular complications between two groups (P ＞ 0.05);however the average time consuming for operation in test group was shorter than that in control group (36 min vs.75 min,P ＜ 0.01).The minimally invasive abdomino-back anastomosis is a desired arteriovenous fistula method for hemodialysis patients.

Objective To explore the change of Brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in artial septal defect(ASD) patients and the relationship among BNP,ET-1 and pulmonary pressure.Methods 105 final diagnosed ASD patients were divide into non-pulmonary hypertension group (nPH group) and pulmonary hypertension group(PH group),and the PH group were divided into two subgroup:slight PH group,moderate and sever PH group.According to the altitude of habitation,105 ASD patients also were divided into 3 groups:＜ 2 500 m group,2 501-3 500 m group and ＞ 3 500 m group.Plasma BNP were measured by radioimmunity method and ET-1 were measured by ELISA.The data analysis used single factor analysis and Fisher least singnificant difference t test.Results Both the plasma BNP levels (152.34 ± 40.61) pg/ml and ET-1 level (137.69 ± 37.17) pg/ml of the ASD-PH group were significantly higher than those [BNP (126.70 ± 32.27) pg/ml,ET-1 (92.92 ± 32.3) pg/ml] of ASD-nPH group.There were strong difference in plasma BNP levels and ET-1 levels among different degree PH groups(F =6.782,P ＜ 0.05 ; F =8.475,P ＜ 0.05).Statistical difference were also shown in BNP(F =6.846,P ＜ 0.05) and ET-1 (F =9.327,P ＜ 0.05) levels by compared difference altitude groups.The BNP levels are positively correlated with mean pulmonary artery pressure (r =0.326,P ＜ 0.05),size of defect (r=0.301,P＜0.05) and the altitude of habitation (r =0.252,P＜0.05).Conclusion Plasma BNPand ET-1 levelsof ASD-PH group significantly higher than those of ASD-nPH group.By the increasing of the altitude and PH degree,the plasma BNP and ET-1 levels are increasing,which suggest that BNP and ET-1 play an important role on the proceeding and development of the PH and hypoxia promoted secretion of BNP and ET-1.

Objective To investigate the indications and clinical effect of the low-big hole choledochoduodenostomy. Methods Two hundred and ninty-eight patients, had bile duct stone accompanied with common bile duct lower segment stenosis, were prospectively enrolled into the study and randomly divided into the low-big hole choledochoduodenostomy (improved CD ) group (n = 148 ) and the Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy (CJ) group (n = 150). Their perioperative period and long term effect indices were recorded and compared. Results Perioperative period indices:The time of cholangio-jejunostomy was much shorter in improved CD group than the CJ group ([31.0±10.5] min vs [53.0±12.3] min, P＜0.001);The anastomotic leakage was significantly less in improved CD group than the CJ group (2 vs 9, P ＜ 0. 001 ). The long term effect indices: The occurrence of peptic ulcer (3 vs 15 ) and the bile duct cecum or blind loop syndrome (5 vs 158) were significantly lower in group improved CD group than CJ group (Ps＜0.01);The occurrence of bile duct backflow (70 vs 42) was significantly higher in improved CD group than CJ group (P＜0. 0l). Conclusion The clinical effect of the low-big hole choledochoduodenostomy gastrointestinal had excellent effect for bile duct stone accompanied with common bile duct lower segment stenosis, especially for old,weak and critical patients,and it can not be replaced by the Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy.

A full understanding of the effects and hazards of the thermal environment on the human body is of great significance to improve the awareness of persons under high temperature environment and reduce occupational heat damage during work. The authors mainly review the thermal environment from aspects of the definition, mechanism of its influence on main functional systems of the human body, influencing factors of heat stress and progress of protection, so as to provide references for the identification and protection of heat-induced diseases for workers under high temperature environment.

Objective To establish an HPLC method for simultaneous assay of macrocyclic polyphenols from Penthorum chinense Pursh, pinocembrin-7-O-[4'', 6''-(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl]-β-D-glucose (PHG), pinocembrin-7-O-[3''-O-galloyl-4'', 6''-(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl]-β-D-glucose (PGHG) and pinocembrin dihydrochalcone-7-O-[3''-O-galloyl-4'', 6''-(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl]-β-D-glucoside or thonningianin A (THA), and optimize the extraction process. Methods The total extraction rate of PHG, PGHG, THA was used as an investigated index to analyze the extracts from Penthorum chinense Pursh. Orthogonal design was applied to evaluate solvent amount, extraction time, solvent concentration and extraction times as the influencing factors for the optimal extraction process of macrocyclic polyphenols from Penthorum chinense Pursh. Results When this content assay method was adopted, there were good linear relationships for PHG, PGHG, THA in the linear range. The recoveries were between 100.90% to 102.04% with the RSDs below 1.5%. The optimal extraction process was involved in cutting Penthorum chinense Pursh into 3-5 cm, adding 10 times 80% ethanol aqueous solution by volume and refluxing 2 hours twice. The extraction rate of macrocyclic polyphenols was above 90% with this process. Conclusion This assay method is accurate, stable, and repeatable. The optimized extraction process is stable and feasible for further development and utilization.
