Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2001;7(1):4-6
ObjectiveImpairment in auditory comprehension is one of the most common clinical symptoms of aphasia. Analysing the features of Chinese aphasics in auditory comprehension might be valueable to classify the types of aphasia, distinguish the difference between the Western aphasics and Chinese aphasics, and find out the neural mechanisms in the language processes in the brain. MethodsThe Standardized Aphasia Battery in Chinese and Additional Test of Auditory Comprehension were utilized, and the cerebral lesion of each case was demonstrated by CT scan or MRI. Results and Conclusions 1.Different types of aphasia indicate different damage grades in auditory comprehension impairment at each stage. 2. Posterior apasia and mixed aphasia indicate damages in the phonemic discrimination abilities. There are phonemic discrimination abilities preserved in Anterior aphasia and subcortical aphasia. 3. Anterior aphasia, posterior aphasia and mixed aphasia are at a different difficulty grades for lexical comprehension, especially for the discrimination to body parts. Subcortical aphasia doesn\'t demonstrate this feature that might be the characteristic in Chinese aphasics different from English aphasics. 4. The comprehension of the passive sentences is more difficult than that of the active sentences for all types of aphasics . 5. The damages are all severe in the story comprehension for all types of aphasics.

OBJECTIVE:To detect the expressions of five gastric cancer cell metastasis associated genes induced by arsenic trioxide METHODS:The expressions of CD44,P53,nm23,H-ras,PCNA induced by arsenic trioxide were examined by immunohistochemistry method RESULTS:Arsenic trioxide induced the decrease of the expressions of CD44,P53,PCNA in gastric cancer cells;the expressions of nm23 and H-ras were not changed by As2 O 3 CONCLUSION:It is tentatively proved that the antineoplastic action of As2 O 3 may be related to the down-regulation of CD44,P53 and PCNA

Objective To observe the effect of postoperative analgesia for cesarean section with a new approach to transversus abdominis plane block.Methods 40 ASA physical status Ⅰ to Ⅱ patients undergoing cesarean section firstly were rucruited.All the patients were randomly divided into the two groups,20 cases in each group.A standard subarachnoid block was used.Group A:TAP block was performed at the end of surgery by piercing the transversus abdominis muscle from inside the abdominal wall at the midaxillary line at the level of the umbilicus with a 22-gauge blunt needle.The patients were assigned to receive 20mL of 0.298% ropivacaine on each side of the abdominal wall.Group B:the patients were also assigned to receive normal saline.Sufentanil was used for postoperative analgesia by PICA.Each patient was assessed at 2,4,8,24 hours postoperatively using a visual analog scale,the dosage of analgesic drug and the adverse reactions.Results Compared with group B,group A had significantly lower pain scores at 2,4 hours using a visual analog scale (P < 0.05) and there were no significant differernces in 8,24 hours(P > 0.05).The cumulative sufentanil requirement of group A was also significantly lower at all time points (P < 0.01).The incidence of sedation of the two groups were also significant differernces,eg.nausea and vomiting (15%/25%),itchy skin(5%/20%),dizziness(0/10%) (P < 0.05).Conclusion This new approach to transversus abdominis plane block provides effective postoperative analgesia after cesarean section.

This study was aimed to screen main active site to reduce blood lipid from Xin-Mai (XM) capsule and establish HPLC fingerprint of the site, in order to study the correlativity between active site and relevant fractions of its herbs. Solvent extraction was used to separate XM capsule into different polar fractions. Intraperitoneal injection of 75% egg-yolk emulsion was used to establish mice hyperlipidemia models. And the active site was screened. Chromatographic fingerprints of the site and relevant fractions of its herbs were configured by HPLC analysis. The
retention time of peaks was utilized as index to evaluate the correlativity. The results showed that lipid-lowering effect of ethyl acetate extract and garlic essential oil was significant (P<0.01). Fingerprint of the active site in XM capsule was established with 28 fingerprint peaks and the assignment results of 27 peaks were indicated. It was concluded that the active sites to reduce blood lipid of XM capsule were ethyl acetate extract and garlic essential oil. The established fingerprint method can effectively determine the correlativity between the active site and its relevant fractions, which contributed to pharmacodynamic material foundation and quality standard.

For lack of cognitive screening standard system and controversy over the value of imaging for cerebrovascular diseases in China, the research group of Alzheimer′s Disease Chinese (ADC) studied the knowledge of neuropsychology, neuroimaging and clinical neurology, systematically reviewed the diagnostic techniques such as memory, language, visuospatial, executive, function, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cerebrovascular diseases, and their optimal threshold and diagnostic value for vascular dementia. Via a consensus meeting, the diagnostic guidelines and practical screening process are combined to construct a framework in Chinese population, which is based on the objective evidence of medical history and clinical evaluation. The diagnosis of vascular dementia is supported by imaging evidence of cerebrovascular diseases and differentiates from other causes of dementia or comorbidities. This consensus is applicable to medical units in China, and is of great significance for early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of vascular dementia.

Criteria for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not available in China.The international criteria is not a proper choice due to issues such as translation and lead to low diagnostic rate and high rate of missed diagnosis.The research group of Alzheimer's Disease Chinese (ADC) reviewed knowledge and techniques in neuropsychology,neuroimaging,molecular biology,and clinical neurology,and systematically studied the detection techniques such as memory,language,visuospatial,executive function,and medial temporal lobe visual scores on MRI,and their optimal threshold and diagnostic value for the diagnosis of AD.Through a systematic review and consensus meeting,a diagnostic framework for screeningAD in the Chinese population was established.Among these methods,an operational standard for clinical pathology models increased the diagnostic sensitivity by 15%.The sensitivity and specificity of screening memory impairment increased by 18.1% and 11.6%,respectively.The sensitivity of screening medialtemporal lobe atrophy increased by 24.5% and missed diagnosis was decreased by 34.5%.An operational standard for clinical biology models,incorporating the latest molecular imaging and molecular biology techniques,has enabled the early diagnosis of AD in China.The framework combines a principled diagnostic guideline with an operational screening protocol,which is applicable to all clinical settings and of great significance for the early detection,early diagnosis and early treatment of AD.

There are no standard diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer′s disease (AD) in China. The copied international criteria has led to a high rate of missed diagnosis due to issues such as translation and cultural discrepancy. Under the principles of semantic equivalence, content equivalence and performance equivalence, the research group of Alzheimer′s Disease Chinese (ADC) adopted several effective methods, such as two-way translation, content conversion, performance evaluation, etc. to systematically study the cognitive, behavioral, functional, and general assessment techniques in dementia screening and diagnosis, as well as their screening thresholds and diagnostic values. We also established a dementia screening and assessment framework in clinical practice through systematic reviews and group consensus. It has improved the early diagnosis rate of dementia in China, been accepted by home and abroad academic institutions, which is of great significance for early diagnosis and treatment of dementia.
