Objective:To investigate the inhibition control characteristics in college students with mobile phone addiction,then to design tactics to enhance their inhibition control ability.Methods:Totally 150 college students were surveyed with the Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI)to filter out the high and low mobile phone addiction.Thirty students with more than eight affirmative answers to the seventeen MPAI items were selected as the mobile phone addiction group while another 30 students with less than eight affirmative answers were selected as non addicts group of MPAI.All participants were asked to complete task of stop signal.Results:In college students with mobile phone addiction,the stop-signal reaction times were longer than that in the students without mobile phone addiction [(292.0 ±89.4)ms vs.(241.1 ±95.7)ms,P <0.05],while the non-signal reaction times were shorter than that in those without mobile phone addiction [(494.2 ±103.8)ms vs.(597.6 ±108.9 )ms,P<0.01].Conclusion:It suggests that the college students with mobile phone addiction may have poorer inhibitory control.

BACKGROUND:Shape memory polymer is a new type of functional material. The applications of shape memory polymers in the biomedical field have increasingly been paid close attention. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the characteristics and applications of shape memory polymers. METHODS: SpringerLink and China Journal Ful text Database were searched for articles related to shape memory polymers. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: As a new type of inteligence material, shape memory polymers have lots of advantages compared with shape memory aloy and shape memory ceramics, such as low density, light weight, low cost, high shape-recovery rate, easy to regulate the shape memory temperature, to dye, to shape and to be stimulated under expected switch temperature. Especialy for polyurethane, the structure-property relationships are extremely easy to control, the shape memory temperature can be set in a wide range from-30℃ to 70℃, and it has the biocompatibility. Due to these, shape memory polymers have great potentials in applications of biomedical engineering. But the comprehensive properties of the developed shape memory polymers are not satisfactory. For example, the polynorbornene has big recovery stress, fast recovery velocity and high recovery precision, but its relative molecular mass is very big, the molecularchain is long, and processing is difficult. Furthermore, most of shape memory polymers have smal recovery stress, slow recovery velocity, low recovery precision and unsatisfied repeat memory effect. The key problems for shape memory polymers include optimization of the function of shape memory and improvement of the comprehensive properties based on the technologies of molecular design and material modification.

Objective To explore the application value of 64-slice spiral CT cardiac enhancement scanning in the morphological as-sessment of left atrial appendage(LAA).Methods Patients were selected retrospectively between April 16,2013 and May 1,2013, including 142 patients with sinus rhythms underwent MDCT coronary angiography,25 patients with atrial fibrillation underwent MDCT pulmonary vein-left atrial angiography.All images were post-processed,datas were measured and the morphology of left at-rial appendage were classified into different types.Results 167 patients were enrolled,including 88 males and 79 femals,age 53.7± 8.9 years.Anatomical relationship of the orifice of left atrial appendage to left superior pulmonary vein(LSPV)were classified as high type (superior to LSPV,2.4%),middle type(parallel to LSPV,86.2%),low type(inferior to LSPV,11.4%).LAA orifice could be classified into three types including oval(162,97%),round-like(3,1.8%)and drop-like(2,1.2%).LAA morphology could be classified in four types including Cauliflower(35,21%),Windsock(41,24.6%),Cactus(7,4.2%),Chicken-wing(84, 50.3%).Patients with atrial fibrillation have a larger LAA volume than who with sinus rhythm.Conclusion 64-slice spiral CT car-diac enhancement scanning can provide a vivid and intuitive reference to the anatomy of LAA and its adjacent structures,and it can also provide quantitative evaluation of LAA anatomical parameters,so it may have a nice significance in the direction of LAA occlu-sion.

Objective To evaluate the predictive values of ABCD,ABCD2 ,SPI-Ⅱ and ESSEN score models for the patients with high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA)to develop to cerebral infarction in short and long term. Methods The ABCD, ABCD2 , SPI-Ⅱ and ESSEN scores of 235 cases of TIA patients were retrospectively analyzed.The incidence of cerebral infarction was followed up for 7 d and 1 year, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC)was drawn to calculate the area under curve (AUC)to assess the accuracy of the score models,and compared with the original model and the relative risk (RR)value was calculated.Results The 7 d-incidence and 1 year-incidence of cerebral infarction in the 235 TIA patients were 9.36 % and 20.43%.The AUC of ABCD,ABCD2 ,SPI-Ⅱ and ESSEN models for 7 d were 0.70,0.74,0.67,and 0.62.The AUC of 1 year were 0.62,0.62,0.64,and 0.65.Compared with the orginal models,the RRs for 7 d of ABCD score model of the TIA patients in low,middle,and high risk groups were 0.09,0.92,and 0.72;the RRs of ABCD2 score model were 0.49,0.59,and 0.65;the RRs of SPI-Ⅱ score model were 0.58,0.87,and 0.55;the RRs of ESSEN score model were 0.11,0.18,and 0.55.Conclusion ABCD,ABCD2 ,SPI-Ⅱ and ESSEN score models can be used to assess the risk of cerebral infarction after TIA in Chinese population.The ABCD2 score model is of great value for short-term risk prediction,and the ESSEN score model is more value for long-term risk prediction.

Objective To explore the prognosis and management of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with atrial septal defect(ASD) accompanied by AF after transcatheter closure of ASD. Methods During the period from July 2010 to May 2013, a total of 24 patients with ASD accompanied by AF were admitted to authors’ hospital to receive transcatheter closure of ASD. Electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-ray film and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were performed before and one day after the operation. Follow-up information was obtained through telephone or at out-patient clinic interview. Results Successful occlusion of ASD was obtained in all patients, and in no patient the AF rhythm turned to sinus rhythm after the procedure. In one patient preoperative AF turned to postoperative atrial flutter, and AF recurred in one case who had received transcatheter ablation of AF before the procedure. One female patient developed gastric bleeding during the course of orally taking warfarin, and she died of cerebral infarction at three days after ceasing the use of warfarin. Of the 24 patients, no anticoagulant drug was used in 5 (20.8%), oral administration of aspirin was given in 7 (29.2%), and oral medication of warfarin was employed only in 11 (45.8%). Conclusion The spontaneous conversion rate of AF is very low in patients with ASD complicated by AF after transcatheter closure of ASD. Postoperative medication of anticoagulation should be strictly standardized and carefully managed.

Objective:To analyze the clinical prognosis of patients with cervical and upper thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with or without chemotherapy, and to explore the significance of elective lymph node irradiation (ENI).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 309 patients with cervical and upper thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent IMRT with or without chemotherapy in the Department of Radiology, the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University. The prognostic factors were analyzed and patients receiving different irradiation methods were assigned into different group. The curative effect, toxicity and side effects were analyzed among different groups.Results:The 1-, 3-and 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 76.7%, 37.4%, 19.3% and 59.7%, 27.4% and 14.4%, respectively, with median values of 26.8 and 15.5 months. Multivariate analysis showed that gender, cTNM staging and chemotherapy were the prognostic factors affecting the OS ( P=0.003, P<0.001, P=0.022), and gender, cTNM stage and radiation mode were the prognostic factors affecting the PFS ( P=0.016, P<0.001, P=0.008). After propensity score matching (PSM), the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS and PFS were 77.2%, 39.3%, 20.0%, and 62.0%, 29.3%, and 15.4%, respectively, with median values of 27.1 and 18.2 months. Multivariate analysis showed that gender, cTNM staging and chemotherapy were the prognostic factors affecting the OS ( P=0.026, P<0.001, P=0.017); cTNM staging and irradiation mode were the prognostic factors affecting the PFS ( P<0.001, P=0.008). A subgroup analysis of chemotherapy showed that patients receiving 3-4 cycles of chemotherapy were preferred. The side effects of the patients were mainly grade 0 to 2, which could be tolerated. Conclusions:IMRT combined with or without chemotherapy is an efficacious treatment for patients with cervical and upper thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; ENI can improve the PFS of patients.
