Subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD) is considered to be the most important and common cause of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). If patients with subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment (SIVCI) and subcortical vascular cognitive impairment (sVCI) can be found early, it is possible that vascular dementia (VaD) can be identified before occurrence and even reverse the process. Recent studies have shown that resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) may provide the objective basis for the diagnosis of SIVCI. This article reviews the application of rsfMRI in the diagnosis of SIVCI.

Objective The effect of intermittent iron supplementation weekly and twice weekly was studied in children with iron deficiency anemia(IDA). Methods Subjects were 58 children who were randomly divided into two groups. One group received a dosage of 2mg/kg Fe every 3d for 9 weeks. The other group received the same dose Fe once a week for 12 weeks. Results Hemoglobin and serum ferritin increased significantly after treatment in both groups (P ＜0.05), and zinc protoporphyrin decreased significantly (P ＜0. 05). But serum ferritin of both groups was different after 6 weeks of treatment (P ＜0. 01). The side effect of the group supplemented once every 3d was higher than that of the group once a week, but there was no statistically significant difference. Conclusion Iron sup plementation every 3d has a similar effect to once a week for treatment of IDA. The former should be used for the se rious patients for 6 weeks. The later should be used for infants and the patients whose resistance of intestines and stomach are not good.

Objective In order to evaluate the present status of Radiation Oncology in China,the Chinese Society of Radiation Oncology performed the 6th continent prefecture of China e survey.Methods Questionnaire forms were sent by mail,e-mail,telephone and FAX.Results By August 31 st,2011,there were 1162 radiation oncology centers.There was a total of 30985 employees,including 9895 doctors,1887 physicists,11689 nurses,6103 technicians and 1411 engineers.There were 1296 linear accelerators,286 telecobalt units,81 deep x-ray machine,1040 simulators,376 CT simulators,317 brachytherapy units,1427 treatment planning system,1041 dosimeters,410 X-knife,and 230 γ-knife (122 for head only,108 for head and body).There were 56847 beds for inpatients (4 centers did not report the number of beds).More than 58000 patients were treated per day ( no report from 9 centers ),and 569056 new patients were treated annually (no report from 38 centers).Conclusions Radiation oncology was developed rapidly in the last 5 years,either in personnel,equipment,and new techniques.They are still insufficient in proportion to our population.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between articulation, velopharyngeal function, and surgical age by comparing the changes in articulation after velopharyngeal closure is performed. This study is also conducted to investigate the influencing factors of omission change between pre- and post-operation.

METHODSA total of 48 patients, including 18 males and 30 females, mean age (13.3 ± 5.8) years, with non-syndromic cleft lips and palates were selected from January 2011 to December 2011. Their speech data and articulation between pre- and post-operation were retrospectively analyzed using non-parametric tests. Correlation study was performed to analyze the influencing factors of the changes in articulation. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTSThe difference in articulation after velopharyngeal closure occurred was significant (Z = -3.796, P = 0.000). A negative correlation between the ratio of post-operative normal articulation and surgical age (R = -0.487, P = 0.000) was observed. The change in omission was positively correlated with surgical age (R = 0.589, P = 0.000) and gender (R = 0.404, P = 0.047). By comparison, the change in omission was negatively correlated with follow-up time (R = -0.235, P = 0.040).

CONCLUSIONArticulation and intelligibility are significantly improved after velopharyngeal closure is performed. These parameters are negatively correlated with surgical age to some extent. In addition, the change in omission is positively correlated with surgical age and gender, whereas the change in omission is negatively correlated with follow-up time.

It is for estimating the laboratory statistics from the view of clinical medicine objectively,completely and appropriately that we establish ＜ Laboratory Sciences and Clinical Medicine ＞ which fits the requirement for the modern medical laboratory specialists. In this selective course, we use problem-based learning ( PBL ) teaching method which is different from the traditional one, stimulating students to participate in the study actively and passionately,training them to think in a scientific way and to analyse and solve the problem in a rational way. As a result, it works well which makes us believe it is worth popularizing.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and to summarize our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic splenic autotransplantation (ESAP) many years after splenic rupture and splenectomy.Methods The clinical data of 15 patients with ESAP who were treated in the People's Hospital of Zhengzhou from January 1998 to January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the 15 patients,2 patients presented with intestinal obstruction due to the ectopic splenic tissues and required partial resection of small intestine.In 5 patients,the ectopic splenic tissues were in the greater omentum which required resection of part or the whole of the greater omentum.In 4 patients,the ectopic splenic tissues were in the mesentery which required partial or total resection of the tissues.The ectopic tissues were in the pelvis in 3 patients and resection of the left fallopian tube was carried out in 2 patients and resection of the pelvic tissues in 1 patient.In 1 patient the diagnosis was made under laparoscopic biopsy,thus avoiding open surgery.Three patients had multiple implanted sites for these ectopic splenic tissues.Conclusions ESAP is an uncommon disease and it has no clinical characteristics.It is easy to confuse the condition with metastatic deposits.A diagnosis could be made only by combining the history with magnetic resonance imaging,or 99mTc study of red blood cells,or laparoscopic exploration and biopsy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the collaboration care model on posttraumatic growth and resilience in patients with breast cancer.Methods 70 patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer in department of Breast Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were assigned into two groups by random number table.32 patients who completed the research in the experimental group received collaboration care while 31 patients who completed the research in the control group received routine care both for there months.The patients were investigated with the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) before and after intervention.Results After the intervention,there were significant differences in scores of posttraumatic growth [(63.83±11.87) scores vs.(60.33±10.09) scores,t=2.384] and resilience [(66.52±15.23) scores vs.(61.33±10.09) scores,t=2.472] between the two groups (P＜0.05).And also there were significant differences of posttraumatic growth scores before and after intervention in the experimental group [(56.24±10.01) scores vs.(63.83±11.87) scores,t=-3.988,P＜ 0.01] and the control group [(56.68±10.32) scores vs.(60.33±10.09) scores,t=-2.426,P＜0.05].Differences of resilience also existed in the experimental group [(61.28±14.40) scores vs.(66.52±15.25) scores,t=-3.225,P＜0.01] and the control group [(63.97±17.66) scores vs.(61.33±10.09) scores,t=-2.370,P＜0.05].Conclusions Collaboration care model can significantly improve the level of patients' posttraumatic growth and resilience.

Objective To evaluate the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK)-heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) signaling pathway in attenuation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALl) by dexmedetomidine in mice.Methods Forty male Kunming mice,aged 2 months,weighing 20-25 g,were equally and randomly divided into 4 groups using a random number table:control group (group C),LPS group,low-dose dexmedetomidine + LPS group (group D1),and high-dose dexmedetomidine + LPS group (group D2).Dexmedetomidine 25 and 50 μg/kg were injected intraperitoneally in D1and D2 groups,respectively,and 1 h later LPS 5 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally.At 6 h after LPS injection,the left lung was lavaged,and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for determination of concentrations of protein,tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β).The right lung was removed for examination of the pathological changes (under the light microscope) and for detection of expression of phosphorylation of p38MAPK (p-p38MAPK),p38MAPK,phosphorylation of MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (p-MAPKAPK-2),MAPKAPK-2,phosphorylation of HSP27 (p-HSP27) and HSP27 in lung tissues.The wet to dry lung weight (W/D) ratio was calculated.The ratios of p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK,p-MAPKAPK-2/MAPKAPK-2 and p-HSP27/HSP27 were calculated.Results Compared with group C,the W/D ratio,concentrations of protein,TNF-α and IL-1β in the BALF,and ratios of p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK,p-MAPKAPK-2/MAPKAPK-2 and p-HSP27/HSP27 were significantly increased in group LPS.Compared with group LPS,the W/D ratio,concentrations of protein,TNF-α and IL-1β in the BALF,and ratios of p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK,p-MAPKAPK-2/MAPKAPK-2 and p-HSP27/ HSP27 were significantly decreased in D1 and D2groups.The pathological changes of the lung were significantly reduced in D1 and D2 groups as compared to LPS group.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine attenuates LPS-induced ALI in mice possibly through inhibiting p38MAPK-HSP27 signaling pathway.
