Objective:To investigate the effect of methylphenidate on the ERP waveform of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) between responders and non-responders and it's psychological significance.Methods:ERP elicited by the continuous performance test were recorded before and under methylphenidate treatment in 28 ADHD children and their behavioral performance were collected simultaneously.Based on the behavioral results,the patients were divided into two groups:responders and non-responders.Results:After medcation,the responders' behavioral performance were significantly better,amplitude of NOGO-P3(30.24?10.78?v) were also larger than that of before treatment(20.34?11.42?v,P=0.04);No significant differences were found in the behavioral performance and NOGO-P3 amplitude before and after treatment(23.51?11.97?v/25.88?13.96?v,P=0.61) in the non-responders group.The amplitude of NOGO-N2 of the two groups did not have significant difference before and under methylphenidate treatment.Off medication,there were no differences between responders and non-responders.Conclusion:Methylphenidate can improve the ability of response inhibition in responders as well as increase the amplitude of NOGO-P3 of them.

Objective To investigate the curative effect of biofeedback treatment on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) patients using integrated visual and auditory continuous performance test ( IVA-CPT).Methods 23 ADHD patients undertaked 20 times of EEG biofeedback treatment using VBFB-3000A facility.Their executive and attention quotients were measured before and after treatment by IVA-CPT.Results The pre-therapy full scale of response control and attention quotients of ADHD were 58.26 ± 32.9 and 54.43 ±34.01 respectively.After the therapy, all the quotients got improved (response control 99.3 ± 12.6, attention 84.1 ± 15.9 ) except for stamina and speed quotients both in visual and in auditory.Conclusion Shortterm EEG biofeedback treatment is one of effective methods for ADHD patients,especially for hyperactive cases.

Objective To study the fecel-oral and blood transfusion of TT virus. Methods Paired feces and serum samples from 6 patients with type B and/or C hepatitis were tested for TTV DNA and its titers by PCR with seminested primers.Genotypes were determined after their sequences were compared with the original N22 and TA278 clone.Results TTV DNA was detected in sera from all patients,while it was detected in feces from 3 patients,including 2 with high viral titers in serum.The detection of fecal TTV DNA was dependent on the viral titers in serum.TTV isolates in 3 pairs of feces and serum had identical sequence of 222 base pairs.Their genotypes were 1a,1b and 2,respectively.Conclusion The excretion of TTV into feces indicates that TTV would be transmitted not only parenterally but also nonparenterally by a fecal-oral route.

Objective To examine the curative effect of EEG biofeedback therapy on children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),and to investigate the neural mechanism underlying the executive function in children with ADHD.Methods 42 children with ADHD participated a Go/Nogo task before and after the EEG biofeedback therapy which was consisted of 20 times of treatments.The curative effect was evaluated using the behavioral and electrophysiological indexes associated with the Go/Nogo processing in the experiment.Results Commission error significantly decreased after the therapy ( (2.95 ±2.22 ) vs (4.65 ±4.47),P＜0.05 ).Latencies of P2 ( (210.00 ± 27.54) ms vs ( 228.27 ± 34.17 ) ms) and N2 components ( ( 310.59 ± 45.82) ms vs (328.00 ± 42.27)ms) elicited by Go trials significantly exhibited shorter at the end of therapy.Additionally,the amplitude of N2 component elicited by Nogo trials exhibited significantly decreased after therapy ((0.23 ±3.79)μV vs (-1.84 ± 4.23 ) μV,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The EEG biofeedback therapy is effective in debasing the hyperactivity/impulsive behaviors and improving the ability of target detection,which may be beneficial to the attention ability and conflict detecting in children with ADHD.EEG biofeedback is an effective treatment to ADHD.

Objective To investigate the effects of Tubastatin A Hcl,a selective HDAC6 inhibitor,on the development of chronic asthmatic mice with airway inflammation,airway remodeling and airway hyperresponsiveness. Methods BALB/C mice were randomly divided into control group, asthma group,dexamethasone group and Tubastatin A Hcl group. The airway resistance,total cells and different cells in BALF,IL?4,IL?5,TGF?β1 were detected by ELISA. HE、AB?PAS and Masson trichrome staining were carried out to assess the airway inflammation and remodeling. Immuno?histochemical staining and western blotting were adopted to determine the expression ofα?SMA and TGF?β1. Results After drugs treatment,air?way resistance decreased,and levels of IL?4,IL?5,TGF?β1,total inflammatory cells and eosinophils in BALF were relieved. Meanwhile,inflamma?tory cells infiltration,goblet cells metaplasia and collagen deposition in lung tissue were also reduced,but all of above the effects of dexamethasone were better than Tubastatin A Hcl. The expression ofα?SMA and TGF?β1 in the lung tissue decreased significantly after treatment ,in which Tu?bastatin A Hcl were slightly better than dexamethasone treatment. Conclusion Tubastatin A Hcl can effectively relieve airway inflammation ,air?way remodeling and airway hyperresponsiveness in chronic asthmatic mice ,but its effect of anti?inflammatory is worse than dexamethasone treat?ment,while it is better than dexamethasone in the effect of relief airway remodeling.

Objective To study the therapeutic effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs).Methods Sixty patients with a temporomandibular joint disorder were randomly divided into an ESWT group and a control group,each of 30.Both groups were given routine rehabilitation training,but the treatment group additionally received ESWT for 2 weeks.Fricton's index was used to evaluate temporomandibular joint function.The subjects used a visual analogue scale (VAS) to evaluate their pain levels.The SF-36 scale was applied to assess their life quality.Results After two weeks of treatment,the average assessment score and VAS score had decreased significantly in both groups.After treatment the average scores for mandibular movement,muscle palpation,joint noise and joint palpation,and the palpation,dysfunction and craniomandibular indexes were all significantly lower in the ESWT group than in the control group.Significant differences were also found in the average VAS scores and on the social functioning domain of the SF-36 between the ESWT group and the control group.Conclusion ESWT combined with rehabilitation training can significantly relieve the symptoms and pain of TMDs.

Objective To put forward the prevention advice on foreign body suction,and to discuss the effica-cy,safety and application experience of flexible bronchoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of tracheobronchial foreign bodies in children. Methods The treatment experience of 38 cases for airway foreign body removal with flexible bron-choscopy and granulation tissue proliferation in Argon plasma coagulation ( APC ) ( argon knife ) combining carbon dioxide( CO2 ) cryotherapy in Bayi Children′s Hospital Affiliated to General Hospital of Beijing Military Command from January 2013 to December 2014 were reviewed,and the clinical data including age,gender,treatment time for inhaled foreign body,clinical and X-ray manifestations,location of the foreign body,treatment with bronchoscopy with APC and cryotherapy,complications and outcomes were analyzed. Results There were 38 cases of patients including 31 male (81. 6%) and 7 female(18. 4%),aged from 10 months to 14 years old,with mean age 28. 5 months;among them there were 30 cases with definite history of foreign body,accounting for 78. 9%;the most common clinical symptom was cough among the cases,accounting for 84. 3%;X ray showed 15 cases with ipsilateral lung atelectasis,accounting for 39. 5%, emphysema in 17 cases,accounting for 44. 7%,pneumonia change in 6 cases,accounting for 15. 8%,there were 11 ca-ses who had lung computerized tomography examination when coming to the hospital,and only 1 case could be seen to have foreign body shadow;microscopic examination found that inhaled foreign body in the right bronchus accounted for 57. 9%,and peanut was the main foreign body inhalation in this group;only 4 cases(10. 5%) had definite diagnosis and foreign body removal within 24 h after foreign body aspiration,moreover,34 cases(89. 5%) with foreign body aspi-ration got the diagnosis and treatment after 24 h;crying was the primary inducement for inhaled foreign body. All the 38 cases of children with inhaled foreign body experienced removal under flexible bronchoscopy. There were 19 cases (50. 0%) who had granulation tissue proliferation around the foreign body,among which 5 cases of foreign body was wrapped by the proliferation of granulation tissue,with APC dealing with the granulation tissue of foreign body surface to remove foreign body after exposure,then giving CO2 cryotherapy. Nevertheless,there were 9 cases of foreign body who had granulation tissue but was not wrapped,receiving CO2 cryotherapy directly after the foreign body removal. One case of this group had bradycardia during the surgery,and 2 cases had postoperative bleeding,but there was no death cases with foreign bodies removal. Conclusions Education is the key to prevent foreign body aspiration in infants under 3 years old. Flexible bronchoscopy is safe to remove foreign bodies from the respiratory tract and has fewer complications, so it is one of the alternative methods in diagnosis and treatment of foreign body inhalation.

Objective To explore the operating methods,the effectiveness and safety for 2 cases of tracheal in-tubation related severe subglottic stenosis under laryngeal mask by using bronchoscopy in the diagnosis and interven-tional treatment. Methods Two male patients ( age at 4 and 11 months) both had difficulty breathing and weaning failure after endotracheal intubation,who were diagnosed with severe subglottic stenosis through CT and bronchoscopy examination. All parents signed their consent after being fully informed of treatment risks. Two cases were treated under bronchoscopic holmium laser combined with argon plasma coagulation and freezing treatment by using the laryngeal mask. The clinical data, complications and postoperative outcome and follow-up were analyzed. Results Two cases were operated successfully,the subglottic granulation tissue of 1 case was completely removed,2 cases of patients had subglottic narrow annular completely removed, and there was no problem for 4. 0 mm bronchoscope to get through,postoperative tracheal catheter was successfully extracted,dyspnea was significantly improved. Two cases imme-diately showed well open after treatment,7 d,30 d and 90 d through endoscopic examination. During the operation,oxy-gen saturation decreased and heart rate increased fast or slowed down,but after operation and oxygen got resumed,they immediately recovered,and there were no abnormal hemodynamic changes during and after operation. The two cases were still under follow-up. Conclusions The laryngeal mask holmium laser,argon plasma coagulation and cryotherapy can be used to remove acquired granulation tissue hyperplasia caused by subglottic stenosis,which is safe and effective, and the short-term effect was remarkable. Long-term effect still needs to be further assessed through follow-up.
