Aphasia is one of the major complications after stroke, which needs an effective assessment. Event-related potential (ERP) has been widely researched in neurology, the endogenous components, such as P300, N400, mismatch negativity (MMN), contingent nega-tive variation (CNV) have been widely used in diagnosis and evaluation of the impairment of brain function, including the language func-tion. This paper discussed the application of different endogenous components of ERP in aphasia after stroke, especially the comparative analysis of N400 and P300.

BACKGROUND:Neural stem cells transplanted into the infarct region can promote the recovery of damaged nerve cells after cerebral infarction.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the relevant influential factors of neural stem celltransplantation in the treatment of cerebral infarction.
METHODS:In this paper, we analyzed the experimental studies concerning neural stem celltransplantation for cerebral infarction published in recent years based on database search. There were main two aspects for discussing the progress in neural stem cells and cerebral infarction, the Chinese clinical trial registration and basic experimental studies.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After cerebral infarction, neural stem cellproliferation and differentiation is closely related to the brain microenvironment. Large amount of nerve cellloss can be found in the infarct region. Cytokines can play a role in the neural stem celltransplantation to repair neurological injury after cerebral infarction, and also can induce neural stem cellproliferation, differentiation and migration, including epidermal growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, insulin-like growth factor 1, nerve growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor. Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine can promote the proliferation, migration and differentiation neural stem cells in the subependymal zone after cerebral infarction. Neural stem celltransplantation in the treatment of cerebral infarction has yielded progress, but there are stil many issues that need to be resolved in the future.

Objective To study the clinicopathologic features,immunophenotype,diagnosis and differential diagnosis,prognosis and treatment of solid papillary carcinoma(SPC)of breast.Methods A retrospective study was performed to analyse the clinicalpathologic features and immunophenotype of 52 case of SPC,with or without invasion. The cytokeratins(CK),myoepithelial markers,neuroendocrine markers,proliferation marker Ki -67,estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor(PR),HER2,ect were detected by immunohistochemical staining,and HER2 was detected by FISH.All patients were followed up.Results All the patients were females with a mean age of (66.76 ±10.19)years. The incidence of SPC among all the breast cancers in this department was 0.99%.The presenting symptoms was a painless mass with or without nipple discharge in the central of breast.All of them accepted surgical resection,13 cases were administrated with chemotherapy after surgery,6 cases were radiotherapy.Metastasis was observed four in 34 cases who had undergone axillar lymph node dissection.General observation tumor was substantive and nodular lesions,may be accompanied by cyst formation,microscopy tumor for swelling,substantive nodules within only fine fiber vascular axis,and lacked obvious nipples and screen structure.The cells were lack of atypia,adhesive in cells nest,35 patients were accompanied with mucus secretion.Immunohistochemical study show that the tumor cells experssed CK8 /18,ER and PR,but not basal cell cytokertin CK5 /6 and 34βE12.Positivity for CK5 /6,34βE12 and P63 were 5.78%, 9.62% and 7.69% in the myoepithelial layers of axis of papillary,and were 21.15%,38.46% and 19.23% in cell nests and tumor peripheral myoepithelial,respectively.Positivity for CgA,Syn,NSE,CD56 were 82.69%,88.46%, 94.23% and 90.38%,respectively.The staining of HER2 oncoprotein was most negative,and 23 cases of FISH detection were all negative.The average positive index of Ki -67 was 4.28%.47 cases received follow -up of patients(90.38%),only 1 case death,1 case recurrence the rest were no tumor recurrence or metastasis,disease -free survival.Conclusion SPC of breast,a rare pathologic type,usually occurs in old females.The diagnosis depends on pathological characteristics and its unique immune phenotypic characteristics,is closely associated with mucinous carcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma,and the treatment is given priority tosurgery with a relatively inert biological behaviour.

Objective To investigate the significance of an accessory hepatic vein (AHV) in the interventional treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS).Methods From Mar.2011 to Jun.2013,35 patients with BCS who also had an AHV were included into this study.The patients were divided into two groups according to whether the AHV was obstructive:21 patients had obstruction to the inferior vena cava (IVC) and to the 3 hepatic veins (HV),but the AHV was open; 14 patients had obstruction to the AHV and the 3 HVs.In 13 of these patients the IVC was open,but 1 patient had obstruction to the IVC.During treatment,the patients in the AHV open group underwent balloon dilation or stent insertion of IVC ; patients in the AHV obstruction group underwent balloon dilation or stent insertion of AHV.The patient with obstruction to the IVC underwent balloon dilation of IVC first.Results All patients were successfully treated without any procedure-related complications.In the AHV open group,the average pressure of the AHV decreased from (28.81 ± 6.23) cmH2 O (1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa) before treatment to (18.62 ± 5.06) cmH2O after treatment (P ＜ 0.01) ; the average serum TBIL decreased from (23.24 ± 6.41) μmol/L before treatment to (19.52 ± 4.31) μmol/L after treatment (P ＜ 0.01) ; the average serum albumin changed from (33.76 ± 3.74) g/L before treatment to (34.05 ± 3.62) g/L after treatment (P =0.485).In the AHV obstruction group,the average pressure of the AHV decreased from (36.29 ± 11.65) cmH2O before treatment to (22.07 ± 7.67) cmH2O after treatment (P ＜ 0.01) ; the average serum TBIL decreased from (31.24 ± 9.54) μmol/L before treatment to (20.93 ±7.26) μmol/L after treatment (P ＜0.01) ; the average serum albumin changed from (32.14 ± 4.55) g/L before treatment to (32.11 ± 4.47) g/L after treatment (P =0.861).During follow-up,no patients experienced recurrence of symptoms in the AHV open group; one patient experienced recurrence of symptoms 5 months after treatment in the AHV obstruction group.This patient received a second balloon dilation of the AHV.Conclusions For patients with BCS with IVC and the 3 HVs obstruction,if the AHV was open,we could only treat the IVC.For patients with BCS with AHV and the 3 HVs obstruction,AHV dilation followed by recanalization of AHV was also effective.

Objective To observe the adjuvant therapy efficacy of Saccharomyces boulardii sachets in liver cirrhosis patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP).Methods 72 liver cirrhosis patients with SBP were randomly divided into the observation group and control group.The patients in the control group (30 cases) were giv-en routine medical treatment such as anti-infection,correction of hypoproteinemia,liver protection,and diuresis,etc. At the base of the control group,the patients in the observation group (32 cases) were orally given Saccharomyces boulardii ( Baili Pharmaceutical Factory,French) 0.5g for one time,two times daily for 10 days.The changes of serum interleukin-6(IL-6),pmcalcitonin (PCT) and hypersensitive c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in the two groups were observed and compared before and after treatment, and curative effect and safety were also observed. Results Before treatment,the serum IL-6,PCT and hs-CRP levels in the two groups had no obviously statistical difference(all P>0.05),but after treatment,the serum IL-6,PCT and hs-CRP levels of the observation group were much lower than those of the control group[(60.50 ±19.10) pg/mL vs (98.32 ±17.20) pg/mL,(1.80 ± 0.34)μg/L vs (6.38 ±3.56)μg/L,(6.20 ±4.15) mg/L vs (20.28 ±8.30) mg/L,t=8.147,7.246,8.529,all P<0.01].Meanwhile,the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(93.75%vs 73.33%,χ2 =4.771,P<0.05).The incidence rate of DAR between the two groups had no obvi-ously statistical difference(9.38% vs 13.33%,χ2 =0.242,P>0.05).Conclusion Saccharomyces boulardii can significantly reduce serum IL-6,PCT and hs-CRP levels of liver cirrhosis patients with SBP,and reduce inflamma-tion reaction to control development of SBP.

BACKGROUND: Lumbar spondylolysis is the common cause of teenagers' low back pain. It should apply internal fixation if conservative treatment is invalid. There are a variety of surgeries, which aims to alleviate pain and bony fusion of pars defect.OBJECTIVE: To observe clinical outcome of bone graft of pars defect plus temporary single segmental pedicle screw rod fixation for adolescent lumbar spondylolysis.METHODS: A total of 32 adolescent patients of lumbar spondylolysis were treated by bone graft of pars defect plus temporary single segmental pedicle screw rod fixation. All the patients had bilateral spondylolysis. 20 patients had no lumbar spondylolisthesis, while the others had I° spondylolisthesis. All the patients received lumbar radiograph, CT and MRI. Visual analogue scale and Oswestry disability index were utilized to evaluate pain improvement before and after operation. MacNab was used to assess efficacy. Bone graft healing at isthmus was observed with lumbar CT after fixation. The internal fixation was removed after bone fusion, then the motion of the fixed segment and the degeneration of adjacent intervertebral disc occurred were recorded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Completed bone fusion of pars defect was achieved in all the patients. The average period of bone union was 7.4 months. (2) The visual analogue scale and Oswestry disability index scores were significantly improved after surgery in all patients (P < 0.05). (3) The fixed segment reserved the motion after internal fixation removal. The signal of adjacent intervertebral disc of fixed segment had no changes compared to preoperative MRI. (4) Bone graft to repair isthmus defect plus temporary single segmental screw rod fixation for adolescent lumbar spondylolysis is very effective, the bone fusion is completed, and temporary fixation may effectively alleviate the degeneration of adjacent disc.

Objective To study the clinicopathologic features,immunophenotype,diagnosis and differential diagnosis of solid papillary carcinoma (SPC) of breast.Methods A retrospective study was performed to analyse the clinicopathologic features and immunophenotype of 31 cases of SPC with or without invasion.The cytokeratins (CK),myoepithelial markers,neuroendocrine markers,proliferation marker Ki-67,estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR),HER2,ect were detected by immunohistochemical staining,and HER2 was detected by FISH.All patients were followed up.Results All the patients were females with a mean age of (67.0±12.5) years.The presenting symptom was a painless mass with or without nipple discharge.In 19 cases who had undergone axillar lymph node dissection,only one metastasis was observed.General observation showed that tumors had substantive and nodular lesions,accompanied by cyst formation.Microscopy examination showed that tumors had swell and substantive nodules with only fine fiber vascular axis,and lacked obvious nipples and screen structure.The cells were lack of atypia,adhesive in cells nest.20 patients were accompanied by mucus secretion.Immunohistochemical study showed that the tumor cells expressed CK8/18,ER,PR,but didn' t express basal cell CK5/6,34β12.The positive rates of CK5/6,34β12,p63 were 3.23 ％ (1/31),9.68 ％ (3/31),6.45 ％ (2/31) in the myoepithelial layers of axis of papillary,and were 19.25 ％ (6/31),38.71％ (12/31),16.13 ％ (5/31) in peripheral cell nests and tumors,respectively.The positive rates of CgA,Syn,NSE,Cd56 were 83.87 ％ (26/31),87.10 ％ (27/31),93.55 ％ (29/31),90.32 ％ (28/31),respectively.The staining of HER2 oncoprotein was negative mostly,and the FISH detection outcome of 15 cases were all negative.The average positive index of Ki-67 was 4.12 ％.28 cases (90.23 ％) received follow-up,only 1 patient died,and the rest patients were without tumor recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions SPC of breast,a rare pathologic type,usually occurs in old females.The diagnosis depends on pathological characteristics and its unique immune phenotypic characteristics.SPC of breast has close relationship with mucinous carcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma,with a relatively inert biological behavior.

Objective:To explore the effects of laser irradiation parameters (irradiation frequency and single duration) on tear secretion, lens and retina.Methods:Thirty-six healthy guinea pigs were randomly divided into 6 groups with random number table method according to different frequency and single exposure duration of laser to the eye, namely, high frequency short time (HFST) group, high frequency long time (HFLT) group, medium frequency short time (MFST) group, medium frequency long time (MFLT) group, low frequency short time (LFST) group and low frequency long time (LFLT) group, 6 for each group.The right eyes were irradiated with 500 lx laser as experimental eyes, and the left eyes of the guinea pigs served as the control eyes.The high, medium and low irradiation frequencies were defined as 15 times, 10 times and 5 times, respectively, and the short and long period was defined as 30 seconds and 60 seconds each time, respectively.The right eyes were irradiated based on the grouping at a 10-minute interval.The tear secretion was detected by SchirmerⅠtest; lens opacity was assessed under the slit-lamp microscope; fundus photography was performed to evaluate the general morphology of retina; retinal function was evaluated by electroretinogram (ERG) record and the thickness of retinal outer nuclear layer was measured by histopathology examination.This study protocol was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Air Force Military Medical University (No.20181203), and the use and care of the experimental animals complied with the ARVO statement.Results:The tear secretion was 8.00(7.37, 9.00), 8.75(8.25, 9.00), 8.50(7.75, 9.50), 9.00(8.50, 9.50), 8.00(7.37, 8.75) and 8.25(7.75, 8.75) mm/5 min in the HFST group, HFLT group, MFST group, MFLT group, LFST group and LFLT group, respectively, without significant difference among the groups(χ 2=5.502, P=0.240); after laser irradiation, there were no statistically significant differences in tear secretion between the control eyes and laser-irradiated eyes in all the groups (all at P>0.05). The lenses were clear and the fundus was normal through the experimental duration in all the groups.The amplitude of ERG a-wave was significantly reduced in the HFST group in comparison with the LFST group (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the b-wave amplitude among the six groups (F=1.358, P=0.268). The ERG a-, b-wave amplitudes were not significantly different between the control eyes and laser-irradiated eyes in various groups (both at P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the thickness of the outer nuclear layer of retina among the HFST group, HFLT group, MFST group, MFLT group, LFST group and LFLT group (F=0.952, P=0.463). Conclusions:The 500 lx laser irradiation is safe to ocular surface and lens, but there are some injuries to retinal function, and the injury degree is related to laser irradiation frequency.

Objective To study the effect of thorium and rare earth mixed dust on chromosome aberrations in the lymphocytes of occupational exposed worker8.Methods Analyses of unstable chromosome aberrations on 53 occupational exposed worker8 and 58 control workers were carried out by the conventional Giemsa staining method.Fluorescence in situ hybridization method Wills performed to analyze the chromosome stable aberrations on 10 occupational exposed workers and 10 control workers.Results The frequencies of chromosomal aberration cells,dicentfics plus rings,total aberrations in exposed workers were significantly higher than those in controls.No significant difference was found in the frequency of acentric aberrations between exposed and non-exposed workers.No significant difference was found in the frequency of translocations between exposed and non-exposed workers.Conclusions Chronically occupational exposure to thorium and rare earthmixed dust can increase the induction of unstable chromosome aberration,but the increase of stable chromosome aberrations(translocation)can not be observed.

Objective To discuss the ventilatory catheter-assisted airway stenting under local anesthesia for airway stenosis.Methods From May 2008 to January 2013,25 consecutive patients with airway stenosis underwent the treatment of ventilatory catheter-assisted airway stenting under local anesthesia.The dyspnea score was grade Ⅱ in 3 patients,grade Ⅲ in 18 patients and grade Ⅳ in 4 patients.During the treatment,a 4 F VER catheter was placed into one of the main bronchi as a ventilatory catheter for oxygen supply in advance,the oxygen flow was set at 2 to 4 L/rmin according to the patients' condition,then the airway stenting was performed,after release of the stent,the ventilatory catheter was removed smoothly.Data on technical success,clinical outcome and follow-up were collected and analyzed respectively.The paired t test was performed to compare variables before and after tracheal stenting.Results Ventilatory catheter-assisted airway stenting under local anesthesia was technically successful in all patients.A total of 25 stents were placed in 25 patients.The stents included I-shaped stents (n=19) and Y-shaped stents (n=6).After the oxygen supply,the patients' SaO2 was increased to 94％ to 97％ rapidly.When the stent introducer sheaths were passing through the stenotic site,the SaO2 could be maintained at 92％ to 97％.The improvement of the respiratory difficulty was achieved in 100％ of our patients.The hypoxia symptom was relieved immediately after stents placement,the dyspnea score decreased to grade 0 in 2 patients,to grade Ⅰ in 19 patients and to grade Ⅱ in 4 patients.Respiratory rate and SaO2 improved from (30.0±2.1) times/min and (6.0±3.8)％ before stenting to (19.7±1.6) times/min (t=23.33,P＜0.01) and (93.0± 1.7)％ (t=23.50,P＜0.01) after stenting,respectively.Through the follow-up,3 patients suffered the stent-related complications after discharge,the complications included re-stenosis (n=2) and fracture(n=1).Conclusion Ventilatory catheter-assisted airway stenting under local anesthesia can be an effective,simple and safe method for airway stenosis.
