[Objective] To explore the relationship between TCM syndrome patterns and physicochemical parameters of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). [Methods] Five hundred hospitalized cases of COPD were investigated. The correlation of TCM syndrome patterns with pulmonary function, blood analysis and biochemical indexes were assayed by logistic forward regression analysis and linear multiple regression analysis, and then the above indexes were analyzed by independent- samples t test. [Results] Five equations were obtained by logistic regression. Positive correlation was found between the number of white blood cells (WBC) and the pattern of phlegm-heat blocking lung, hemoglobin (HGB) level and the pattern of yang deficiency with fluid retention, as well as red cell distribution width (RDW) and the pattern of kidney deficiency. Maximal expiratory flow rate in residual 75 % vital capacity ( MEF75), peak of expiratory flow (PEF) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) were negatively correlated with the pattern of yang deficiency with fluid retention. Maximal expiratory flow rate in residual 25% vital capacity (MEF25) and granulocyte percentage (GP) were also negatively correlated with the pattern of spleen deficiency. So did potassium ions (K+ ) level and the pattern of kidney deficiency, t test showed the same results. [Conclusion] The above indexes have great value for TCM syndrome differentiation of COPD.

Objective To investigate the level of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) oligomers in peripheral blood plasma and red blood cells (RBC) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and the value of it for diagnosis and evaluation of PD. Methods From March, 2013 to De-cember, 2014, peripheral blood samples were collected from 30 PD patients and 30 healthy coutrols, and the level ofα-syn oligomers in plas-ma and RBC was detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results The level of α-syn oligomers was less in both plasma and RBC in the controls than in the patients (t>2.346, P<0.05), and was more in RBC than in plasma in both the controls and the patients (t>2.242, P<0.05). The level ofα-syn oligomers of patients did not correlate with their course, Hoehn-Yahr Stage, the scores of Unified Parkin-son Disease Rating Scale Part 3, Non-Motor Symptom Quest and Mini-Mental State Examinatlon, both in plasma and RBC (P>0.05). Con-clusion The level ofα-syn oligomers in peripheral RBC and plasma may be helpful for diagnosis of PD, but less for the evaluation of the ill-ness.

Objective:To investigate the efficiency of CBCT in the diagnosis of impacted maxillary anterior teeth and the treatment effect of different guided eruption methods. Methods:34 impacted maxillary anterior teeth in 30 patients were examined by panoramic films and CBCT, the dental crowns, root, eruption space and other related items were measured and compared between 2 examinations. 20 cases were treated by closed guided eruption and traction( CGET) technique, 10 cases by circumferential supracrestal fibrotomy and exposed traction( CSF-EE) , results were compared. Results: CBCT was more effective than panoramic films in the revelation of tooth root bending, apical pore closure and eruption measurements(P<0. 05). 7-10 d after treatment 5 out off the 10 casses treated by CSF-EE showed different degrees of clinical crown elongation, poor gum appearance and low height of alveolar ridge as insufficient periodontal attachment. However, the treatment of CGET for 26 teeth (76. 47% of all cases) was highly successful and received very satisfactory re-sults, the rest 8 teeth (23. 53% of all cases) showed mediocre satisfaction. Conclusion: CBCT can accurately display the position, shape, relation with adjacent teeth of the impacted teeth. Closed guided eruption and traction is more effective for the treatment.

Magnetic induction method aims at the noninvasive detection of liver iron overload by measuring the hepatic magnetic susceptibility. To solve the difficulty that eddy current effects interfere with the measurement of magnetic susceptibility, we proposed an improved coil system based on the static field magnetization principle in this study. We used a direct current excitation to eliminate the eddy current effect, and a rotary receiver coil to get the induced voltage. The magnetic field for a cylindrical object due to the magnetization effect was calculated and the relative change of maximum induced voltage was derived. The correlation between magnetic susceptibility of object and maximum magnetic flux, maximum induced voltage and relative change of maximum induced voltage of the receiver coil were obtained by simulation experiments, and the results were compared with those of the theory calculation. The contrast shows that the simulation results fit the theory results well, which proves our method can eliminate the eddy current effect effectively.

BACKGROUND: Environment pollution due to lead is severe day by day,and the lead-induced developmental toxicity of central nervous system is prominent.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of lead at low exposure level on neurobehavioral function of preschool children and provide basis for preventing childhood behavior disorders.DESIGN: Sampling survey.SETTING: Department of Children and Adolescent Health, Public Health College, Sun Yat-sen University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 211 children of 4-6 years (109 boys and 102girls) were enrolled from a kindergarten of a populated area of Zhuhai City by randomized cluster sampling from September to October 2004.METHODS: 20 mL peripheral blood of finger tip was collected. Blood lead was determined with graphite stove atomic absorption spectrometry.According to the amount of blood lead, the children were divided into high blood lead exposure group (>100μg/L) and low blood lead exposure group (<100μg/L). Furthermore, they were also assigned into <50 μg/L group, 50μg/L- group, 100μg/L- group, 150 μg/L- group, 250- μg/L group. Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and self-designed questionnaire (composed of possibly effective factor on children's neurobehavioral function, such as age, sex, cultivation, family background and so on) were applied, filled by their parents under the instruction of professional staffs. Results and blood lead value were analyzed with first order correlation and multiple factors stepwise regressive analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Blood lead level and each factor scores of CBCL, ②correlation analysis between blood lead value and behavioral factor score.RESULTS: A total of 211 questionnaires were sent out, and 211 were retrieved with 211 effective questionnaires. The effective rate was 100%. ①Score on externalizing and behavioral disorder rate in the high blood lead exposure group (13.28±6.26,18.26%) was significantly higher than those in the low blood lead exposure group (9.98±5.46,7.29%)( t=4.067 7,χ2=5.470, P<0.05). There was insignificant difference in score on internalizing and total score of CBCL between the low and high blood lead exposure groups. ②The behavioral disorder rate of different blood lead level had significance (χ2=13.695,P<0.01). The behavioral disorder rate in blood lead ≥ 150 μg/L was obviously higher than that of the former 3groups after further pairwise comparison (χ2 were 4.727, 6.261, 5.168;4.503, 5.911, 4.928, P<0.05), which revealed that the child behavioral disorder rate markedly increased when the blood lead was ≥ 150 μg/L.③Blood lead logarithm value had positive correlation with the scores on hyperactivity, aggression and defiance (r=0.316 4,0.282 8,0.188 6,P <0.05), and had no correlation with obesity, desintegration, truculence and sexual questionnaire (r=0.102 4,0.094 2,0.118 3,0.092 6,P > 0.05). ④After the stepwise regression analysis, the scores on hyperactivity, aggression and defiance factors were included in the regression equation. The results suggested that the effect of lead on child externalizing behavior still remained, and kept statistical meaning after confounding factors, such as controlling family and society, etc.CONCLUSION: Low-level lead exposure has adverse effects on externalizing behavior in preschool children.
