Objective BOLD-fMRI was used to observe the activated auditory cortex evoked by pure tone stimuli in patients with sensorineural hearing loss and this paper is to discuss the objective measure for patient with sensorineural hearing toss. Methods BOLD-fMRI examinations were taken in 22 patients with unilateral moderate to severe sensorneural hearing loss and 15 control subjects. The volumes and intensities of the two hemispheres of the activated auditory cortex were analyzed quantitatively. Results Significant activation was found in the temporal lobe in control subjects, and significant differences in the volume and intensity were noted between the contralateral and ipsilateral activated auditory cortexes in them (P<0.01), exhibiting clearly eontralateral predominance. When the normal ear of patients with sensorineural hearing loss received signals, there was no significant difference be-tween contralateral and ipsilateral activated auditory cortexes (P>0.05). Conclusion When the normal ear of pa-tients with sensorneural hearing loss was stimulated by pure tone, the contralateral hemisphere predominance disap-peared. This result seems to show the plasticity of auditory cortex of patients with unilateral hearing loss.

This study was aimed to evaluate the feasibility of wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe community-acquired pneumonia, CAP) from the clinical curative effect, hospitalization days, medical expenses and other aspects. This study selected 198 wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe CAP) inpatients from January, 2012 to December, 2012 with the conventional therapy in the Respiratory Department, Wuhan Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) & Western Medicine Hospital as the control group. And another 179 wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe CAP) inpatients were selected from January, 2013 to December, 2013 with the TCM clinical pathway treatment in the Respiratory Department of the same hospital as the treatment group. Retrospective analysis was used to compare the clinical curative effects, hospitalization days, and medical cost differences. The results showed that TCM clinical pathway for wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe CAP) can shorten the hospitalization days and reduce patients’ medical costs, and ensure the clinical curative effects. It was concluded that the standardized TCM clinical pathway had positive effect on wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe CAP). Therefore, the formulation and implementation of TCM clinical pathway was of great significance in the treatment of wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe CAP).
