ObjectiveTo explore the effect of system reading therapy on alexia after stroke.Methods104 stroke patients with alexia were divided into two groups: observation group(51) and control group(53). General speech training were used for the two groups, while the observation group received system reading training at the same time, all for 30 minutes, once a day for 1 month. Chineses Standard Aphasic Examination was applied to assess the reading ability before and 1 month after treatment.ResultsThere are three kinds of alexia in the patients: frontal alexia, alexia with agaphia, and subcortical aphasic alexia. Reading ability improved in the two groups (P<0-01), but the observation group was better than the control group(P<0-05).ConclusionSystem reading therapy is very helpful to improve reading ability of stroke patients with alexia.

Seventeen physiological,biochemicaland morphological indexes consistently showed that Astragalus polysaccharide was able to enhance the myocardia contractility,attenuate the area of myocardial infarction, and reduce the degree of myocardial damage of myocardially infarcted dog heart in vivo.The mechanism might be related to the inhibition of Na+-Kr+ATPase activity & the anti-free-radical-damage action.

Objective To explore the effects of oligohydramnios in the late trimester of pregnancy on perinatal infants.Methods Two hundred and sixty-eight pregnant women with oligohydramnios,admitted from June 2000 to June 2007,were involved in present study,and homochronous 300 pregnant women with normal volume of amniotic fluid were enrolled as control group.The clinical data were analyzed to evaluate the influence of oligohydramnios on perinatal infants and on the outcome of delivery.Results The incidences of newborn distress,meconium-contaminated amniotic fluid,apnoea neonatorum,aspiration pneumonia and perinatal infant mortality were obviously higher in the oligohydramnios group than those in control group(P

The O_2 collision cell technology was accepted to move the analyte to new oxide line position in stead of attenuating the double charge ions directly. A minus kinetic energy discrimination configuration was used to promote the oxide ions passing. An isobaric interference on new oxide line was corrected by a mathematic equation. It was found the enhancing effect of organic reagent benefit to As and Se oxide ion signal also. The 1% methanol sample solution was applied to improve the analyte sensitivity. The detection limits were 4.5 ng/L for As and 6.2 ng/L for Se. The background equivalent concentration was 0.022 μg/L for As and 0.025 μg/L for Se. The analysis errors enter into the allowed range of the standard material, which greatly improve the analytical accuracy of the actual sample.

OBJECTIVE: Adopting methods of cell culture to explore the effects and mechanisms of Jianpi Bushen Huoxue Prescription (JPBSHXP), a traditional Chinese compound herbal medicine for strengthening spleen, reinforcing kidney and activating blood circulation, in inhibiting hematopoietic cells apoptosis in a mouse model of aplastic anemia (AA). METHODS: Blood serum of AA mice was made from an AA mouse model. Blood serums containing different traditional Chinese compound herbal medicine were made from rats after intragastric administration of JPBSHXP and its related decoctions, respectively. Bone marrow cells of normal mice were incubated by these blood serums for 24 hours, respectively. The apoptosis of the bone marrow cells were assayed by flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). RESULTS: It was indicated that the bone marrow cells of normal mice incubated with blood serum of AA mice displayed typical apoptosis. The apoptosis rates of bone marrow cells of the AA mice incubated by blood serum containing different traditional Chinese herbal medicine were decreased. The effect of Bushen (reinforcing kidey) Recipe was better than Jianpi (strengthening spleen) Recipe and Huoxue (activating blood circulation) Recipe, while the effect of JPBSHXP was the best. TEM results showed that the effect of Bushen Recipe was better than that of the Jianpi Recipe and the Huoxue Recipe, while the effect of JPBSHXP was the best. CONCLUSION: JPBSHXP and its related decoctions can significantly decrease the apoptosis rate of bone marrow mononuclear cells of the AA mice. It is inferred that JPBSHXP can promote bone marrow hematogenesis.

Objective To assess the respective value and limitation of cardioangiography and ultrasonography in interventional therapy for congenital heart disease in children,and to discuss the clinical significance of the combined use of both examinations. Methods A total of 162 children with congenital heart disease,screened by ultrasonography,were enrolled in this study.The disorders included VSD(n=50),PDA(n=96)and PS(n=16).Before the interventional therapy all the cases accepted cardioangiography and ultrasonography examinations,and the diameter of the abnormal passage was measured.The difference in the diameter between two examinations was compared and statistically analyzed by using paired t test.All the cases accepted both examinations after the interventional therapy to check the location of the occluder and the result of balloon dilatation.Results Both cardiovascular angiography and ultrasonography could make a definite diagnosis of congenital bean disease in children,and could well display the location and shape of the abnormalities.The diameter of VSD(n=50)measured by cardioangiography and ultrasonography was(4.93±2.73)mm and(5.66±2.77)mm respectively,with no significant statistical difference existing between two methods(P＞0.05).The diameter at the narrowest site of PDA(n=96)measured by cardioangiography and ultrasonography was(3.22±1.45)mm and(3.96±1.42)mm respectively,with a significant difference existing between two methods(P＜0.05).In 16 PS cases,the diameter of valvular ring determined on cardioangiogram and on ultrasonogram wag(16.16±4.26)mm and(17.94±5.50)mm respectively,with no significant difference between two groups(P＞0.05).During the operation of VSD,the monitoring ultrasonography revealed that the valvular opening and closing was interfered by the occluder in 9 cases,so the occluder was re-adjusted till it was fixed to proper position. After the interventional therapy for VSD and PDA,cardioangiography detected a small residual shunt in 7 cases,which completely disappeared 24 hours later on ultrasonography.After balloon dilation in all 16 children with PS the right ventricle-pulmonary artery pressure difference was reduced by more than 50%and the pressure figure reached the standard of clinical Cure.The interventional procedure was successfully completed in all patients except for three cases. Conclusion In treating children of congenital heart disease with interventional procedures,the determination of the lesion's diameter and the selection of the occluder should be based on cardioangiographic measurement,although ultrasonography is more helpful in making preoperative screening and postoperative evaluation.
