Objective To investigate the characteristics of mental rotation in stroke patients and the relationship between mental rotation and visual-spatial cognitive function. Methods From March, 2012 to October, 2013, 30 stroke patients were selected as experimental group and 30 healthy subjects as control group. They were tested with hand mental rotation task, and assessed with visuospatial abilities from Mon-treal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Results The reaction time of hand mental rotation task was significantly longer in the experimental group than in the control group (F=95.6, P<0.001). The reaction time was longer with the increase of rotation angle in both groups, and was the longest as 180° of rotation (F=345.672, P<0.001). The response accuracy rate of hand mental rotation task was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (F=6.444, P<0.05). The response accuracy rate was lower with the increase of rotation angle in both groups, and was the least as 180° of rotation (F=102.911, P<0.001). The reaction time negatively correlated with the score of visuospa-tial abilities, while the response accuracy rate positively correlated with it in the stroke patients (P<0.05). Conclusion The mental rotation ability is impaired in stroke patients, however, the respondent pattern is similar to healthy people. The mental rotation ability is correlated with visual-spatial cognitive functions in stroke patients.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of central pontine myelinolysis. Methods 20 cases with CPM diagnosed in last 10 years were reviewed and compared with those patients of foreign studies. Results 10 patients with hemoptysis were treated with hypophysin, which resulted in severe hyponatremia and osmotic myelinolysis. The main syndrom were dysarthria and dysphagia (secondary to corticobulbar fiber involvement), flaccid quadriparesis (as corticospinal tract involved) which later became spastic. The myelinolysis distrubuted symmetrically along the myelin disruption in the center basal, as well as independently in other brain areas (extrapontine myelinolysis or EPM), including the cerebellar and neocortical white/gray junctional areas, thalamus and striatum. Conclusion Supplement of sodium should be slower and more persistent for hyponatremia, the selection of drugs should be based on the patients' specific conditions.

Objective To explore the effect of the rational-emotive-behavior therapy (REBT) on mood, cognition and activities of dailyliving (ADL) of patients with poststroke depression (PSD). Methods 80 PSD patients were divided into control group (n=40) and observationgroup (n=40). Both groups were given Prozac (20 mg/d) for 8 weeks, and the observation group received REBT (3 times per week, 20min every time) additionally. Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Barthel Index(BI) were evaluated before and after treatment. Results After 8-week treatment, the scores of HAMD in two groups reduced significantly(P<0.01), and the scores of MMSE and BI increased significantly (P<0.01). The scores of HAMD were lower in the observation group thanin the control group (P<0.05), and the scores of MMSE and BI were higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). TheBI score was related with sleeping disorder in control group (P<0.05). The BI score was both related with sleeping disorder and somatizationin the observation group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the extent of effectiveness on depression between two groups(P>0.05), but there was the trend that the efficacy of the observation group was better than the control group. Conclusion REBT combinedwith antidepressant drugs can better relieve the symptoms of depression and improve cognitive function and ADL of PSD patients. The improvementof somatization and sleep disorders by REBT has a relationship with the enhancement of ADL.
