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.

The effects of interferon-? (IFN-?) on chronic myelogenous leukemia cells were studied in vitro by long-term bone marrow culture(LTBMC). There were no inhibition of cellularity from non-adherent layers and formation of adherent layers, however, CFU-GM from non-adherent layers was inhibited at IFN-? 103U/ml and 104 U/ml groups, when IFN-?was added only at initiation of culture. If IFN-? was continuously added weekly, the cellularity and CFU-GM of non-adherent layers were significantly inhibited, and the formation of adherent layers was inversely associated with the increasing concentration of IFN-?. in addition, Ph(+) cells in non-adherent layers were disappeared early and the percentage of Ph(-) population was increased with the combination of IFN-? and LTBMC. It is concluded that IFN-?selectively inhibits the later CFU-GM of CML cells and the development of stromal cells, the combination of IFN-?and LTBMC might exert a synergically purging effect on Ph(+) CML cells

Objective To determine whether pupil response to dilute tropicamide could be used as a diagnostic test for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods Pupil diameters of both eyes were measured simultaneously by an infra red automatic pupil diameter recorder and analyzer every 0 1 second for 30 minutes after instillation of 0 01% tropicamide to one eye and normal saline to the other. Three groups of patients were studied: 52 patients with AD, 33 with vascular dementia (VD), and 58 elderly controls. The percent change in pupil diameter of the treated eye was examined automatically by the analyzer. After finding the cut off point for differential diagnosis by receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC), its sensitivity, specificity and Kappa coefficient were calculated. Results Mean percent change in diameters of the treated eye showed a trend of fastest maximum dilation in AD group, and was significantly different from other groups at all the measurement time points after 10th minute instillation. The difference was most significant at the 18th minute after instillation, and 15% was used as a cut off point, the sensitivity was 0 81,specificity 0 79 0 82, and Kappa coefficient 0 62 0 67. Conclusions Pupil dilation test could be used as a screening method in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, or as a tool for differential diagnosis between AD and VD.

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 To understand the distribution of pathogen in very-low-birth-weight or preterm infants septicemia in early-onset and late-onset and drug sensitivity.METHODS Bacterial isolates from inpatients of very-low-birth-weight or preterm infants septicemia over a period of 3 years were retrospectively analyzed,and classified as when septicemia was happened.RESULTS The positive rate of isolates was 43.2% in 970 samples of very-low-birth-weight or preterm infants septicemia.Most of the sepsis detected by blood culture was late-onset neonatal sepsis(58.6%).Pathogen of late-onset neonatal sepsis mostly was Gram-positive cocci,Staphylococcus were found to be the most common isolates(80.5%).In early-onset sepsis group,the isolates rates of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were mostly in proportion,there were 52.4% and 47.6%,respeitively.The resistance rate of late-onset sepsis group was higher than that of early-onset one.CONCLUSIONS The key of curing infants septicemia is that we should master the distribution of pathogen of very-low-birth-weight or preterm infants septicemia in early-onset and late-onset and drug sensitivity.Antimicrobial therapy should be initiated under the guidance of anti-microbial sensitivity test,in order to avoid abuse of antimicrobial.

Complement system is an important component of innate immunity and has been recognized as an effective means to inhibit tumor. However,in last decades,accumulating studies showed unexpected results that the complement components and their activation products could promote development of malignancies by secreting growth factors,activating signal pathway and promoting tumor angiogenesis. Herein,the relationship between the complement system and tumor is reviewed.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of parametric imaging of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in retroperitoneal tumors using SonoLiver software. Methods Sixty cases of retroperitoneal tumors were analyzed by CEUS with SonoLiver software. The color-mapped images of timedependent indexes, such as rise time(RT), time to peak(TTP), mean transit time(mTT), were abserved in the regions of interests(ROIS). The degree of the coincidence between pathologic diagnosis and parametric imaging diagnosis was carefully study by comparing parametric images with histopathological findings.Results 1 ) There was statistical significance of RT, TTP and mTT between the benign and malignant retroperitoneal tumors. 2) The time-dependent parametric images were obvious different between benign lesions and malignant lesions. The malignant lesions enjoyed a confused boundary and distribute disorderly,while the benign tumors had a clear distribution. There was a good coincidence degree between pathologic diagnosis and parametric imaging diagnosis(κ =0. 625, P =0. 000). Sensibility, specificity, the rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, the degree of accuracy respectively was 85.3 %, 76.9 %, 23.1 %, 14.7 %,81.7% by the new diagnosis method. Conclusions Parametric imaging is a very useful way of evaluating the level of blood flow with the tumors and provides a new vision in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumors. It demonstrates retroperitoneal tumors clearly and objectively.
