Objective: To explore the effects of sensory integration training on the behaviors and cognition in children with attention deficit hyperactivity sorder (ADHD) . Methods: Fifty-two children with ADHD (experimental group) were undergone sensory integration training for 60 times and their behaviors were evaluated with the Corners Parents Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ), and the cognition function was determined with the Combined Raven's Test (CRT) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) before and after the training. Another 52 healthy volunteers were recruited as controls and given the corresponding tests described above for comparison of the results. Results: The scores of conduct disorder, compulsion, hyperactivity and hyperactivity index in children with ADHD were decreased significantly than those of controls after training [(0.60 ± 0. 34) vs. (0.68 ± 0.35), (0.92±0.57) vs. (1.25±0.70), (0.82±0.29) vs. (1.08±0.44); P<0.05] .Inaddition, the improvement was found in IQ, categories control, and conceptive level as compared with that before the training [such as IQ, (105. 37 ±22.76) vs. (97. 37 ±24.15); P<0.001], whereas the scores of response error, response error percentage, first category and persistent errors were decreased after the training [such as response error, (39.40 ± 22.22) vs. (46.60 ±23.44), P<0.001] . For the experimental subjects, the scores in the first response number and the persistent errors percentage right after the training were higher compared with the controls [(12.03 ±5.08) vs. (10.65±0.84), (50.75 ±18.35) vs. (39.95 ± 15. 34); Ps<0.05] .Conclusion: The sensory integration training can improve the behaviors and cognition in children with ADHD, but it produces fewer effects on some of the executive functions despite clinical symptom relief to a certain extent.

Objective The clinical effect and prognosis of greenlight photoselective laser vaporization combined with intraoperative submucosa multi-point injection of gemcitabin for the treatment of non muscle-invasive bladder tumors(NMIBC).Methods Selected 105 cases of NMIBC Confirmed by pathology from Mar.2012 to Nov.2013 in Guangzhou General Hosptial of Guangzhou Military Command of PLA urology.Put the patients into three groups randomly.Greenlight photoselective laser vaporization for bladder tumors (PVBT) combined with intraoperative submucosal injection of gemcitabine (PVBT group) 38 cases,Transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBT) combined with intraoperative submucosal injection of gemcitabine 25 cases (TURBT group),TURBT combined with immediate postoperative bladder perfusion chemotherapy (Control group)42 cases.Maintain the bladder perfusion chemotherapy after surgery,follow-up of 2 years.To compare and analysis the effect and the prognosis of three ways of operation method,And evaluate the quality of life of three groups of patients after treatment.Results The operation of 105 cases were successful,a total of 31 cases of recurrence,included PVBT group 7 cases (18.4%),TURBT group 6 cases (24%),contrlol group 18 cases (42.9%).Tumor progression of time were 12、10、6 month for the first time.The body function,psychological function,social function and material life of four dimensions scores have no obvious difference Three groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions PVBT combined with intraoperative submucosal multi-point injection of gemcitabine is a kind of simple operation,and reduce the complications and the recurrence of the operation,especially suitable for the lateral wall of superficial tumor and intolerance to TURBT surgery for high-risk patients.It is a new better method of expansion clinical application.

BACKGROUNDWhile echocardiography has been a pivotal screening test in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), the presence of structural cardiac defects may affect the ability to reliably predict pulmonary artery pressures (PAPs). This study sought to evaluate the accuracy of Doppler echocardiography (DE) for estimating PAPs in adult atrial septal defect (ASD) patients with PAH.
METHODSA prospective study was carried out to compare the echocardiographic assessment of PAP with the same pressures obtained by right heart catheterization (RHC) in adult ASD patients with PAH who underwent simultaneous DE and RHC. Bland-Altman analyses were performed to evaluate the agreement between DE and RHC measurements of PAPs.
RESULTSTwo hundred and fifty-seven patients were included in the study. A significant overestimation of the systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) was reported by echocardiography compared with those by catheterization ((81.8 ± 26.9) mmHg vs. (72.9 ± 26.9) mmHg, P < 0.01; (51.9 ± 16.4) mmHg vs. (41.4 ± 17.2) mmHg, P < 0.01, respectively). Twenty-one percent (55/257) of the patients had PAH when estimated by echocardiography whereas showed normal results in the subsequent catheterization test. Using Bland-Altman analytic methods, the bias for the echocardiographic assessment of the sPAP was 9.1 mmHg with 95% limits of agreement ranging from -24.4 to 42.6 mmHg. For mPAP measurement, the bias was 10.5 mmHg with 95% limits of agreement ranging from -12.4 to 33.4 mmHg. On multiple linear regression analysis, age, gender, body surface area, ASDs' diameter, PVR, diastolic blood pressure, and echocardiographic assessment of right atrial pressure (RAP) explained 68.8% of the total variability in the model (r(2) = 0.688, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONInaccuracy was frequently reported in Doppler echocardiographic assessment of the PAP in adult ASD patients with PAH and was often associated with age, gender, body surface area, ASDs' diameter, pulmonary vascular resistance, diastolic blood pressure and echocardiographic estimation of RAP.
