OBJECTIVE: About 70% patients with stroke have dysfunction at various degrees in clinic, especially aphasia would affect their social communication and even offer a serious economic load for family and social. This paper aims to summarize the relevant articles on aphasia recovery so as to provide researching evidences in the future. DATA SOURCES: Relevant articles were retrieved from the Medline with the key words of "aphasia, recovery, language, recovery" in English from January 1980 to January 2004. STUDY SELECTION: All articles were selected firstly, those which were related to aphasia recovery were selected, and the non-randomly clinical papers were excluded. The full text of rest was looked up to determine whether they were randomized controlled studies or not. Randomized controlled researches were regarded as inclusion criteria regardless of blind way. DATA EXTRACTION: Among 22 articles on aphasia recovery, 12 were selected according to inclusion criteria and 10 were excluded because of duplicated papers.DATA SYNTHESIS: Recovery of language function was related to sex,age, ducational degrees, characteristics of lesion, range of lesion, duration from episode to language recovery, insight and self redress of language disorder. Therefore, there were various findings and views for previous re searches on mechanism of aphasia recovery. CONCLUSION: There is not uniform conclusion on mechanism of aphasia recovery. Compliance of language function in brain may be a mechanism of aphasia recovery.

Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1α) is a hypoxia response regulator,which is highly expressed in malignant tumors.Researches have shown that HIF-1α plays an important role in epithelial mesenchymal transformation.It can regulate epithelial mesenchymal transition through a series of signal pathways and mechanisms at many levels,to participate in the invasion and metastasis of tumors.To explore the mechanism of HIF-lα controlling epithelial mesenchymal transformation has important significance for the development of new,effective tumor treatment methods.

Objective To explore the lean management model for the application of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).Methods Under the framework of lean management,Peking University Third Hospital (PUTH) tapped potential through the earlier stage survey and policy guidance,focused on improving efficiency based on discipline and talent,curriculum service were also provided to bolster application quality.This paper reviewed the NSFC application situation of PUTH in 2014 2016 and compared with 2011-2013,summarized the management experience.Results All the indexes increased significantly during 2014-2016,also achieved a breakthrough in talent projects.Compared with 2011 2013,the application number of 2014-2016 increased by 34.8%,meanwhile,both the support number and amount of NSFC increased 44.2% and 111.6 % respectively.We also achieved 71.8% growth and added 5 experts in high end talent projects.Conclusions The lean management significantly improves the management efficiency,and we hope to make reference to other clinical hospitals in promoting basic research management.

Objective To explore the effects of Tianqijiangtang capsule combined with Metformin on the levels of IL‐6 ,TNF‐α and C‐RP protein in patients with T2DM. Methods 80 T2DM were randomized into control group (treatment with Metformin ,n= 40) and treatment group (treatment with Tianqijiangtang in combination with Metformin ,n=40). The changes of levels of IL‐6 ,TNF‐α and C‐RP were observed before and after the treatment. Results Compared to the pretreatment in the same group and after treatment in control group ,IL‐6 ,TNF‐αand C‐RP of treatment group were reduced significantly [(6.79 ± 0.60) ,(7.15 ± 0.62) vs (5.08 ± 0.43)pg/ml;(8.94 ± 0.55) ,(8.61 ± 0.66) vs (5.18 ± 0.45) pg/ml;(6.79 ± 0.60) ,(6.58 ± 0.59) vs (5.56 ± 0.30) mg/L ,P<0.01]. Conclusion Tianqijiangtang capsule combined with Metformin can decrease the levels of IL‐6 ,TNF‐αand C‐RP in T2DM patients.

3 years old than those in ≤3 years old group.The incidence rate of the adverse reaction after SPT was 1.6%(6/384),there were 4 temporary fieber,1 asthma and 1 anaphylactic shock.Conclusions The common allergens are inhalant allergens of dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and dermatophagoides farina in Chongming island.The SPT is more suitable for over 3 years old children with typical anaphylaxis of respiratory symptom and maybe have the potential danger.

miRNAs were discovered less than a decade ago, and have emerged as important regulators of gene expression in mammals. A large number of miRNAs have been identified to be located within the intronic regions of protein-encoding genes(host genes) and called intronic miRNAs. The intronic miRNAs may play a key role in regulating the expression and function of their host genes due to the fact that most of them are co-expressed with the host genes. In this paper, the recent advances on the research on potential relationship between intronic miRNAs and their host genes are reviewed.

Objective To understand the relationship between clinical manifestations and Kashin-Beck disease(KBD) and their contribution to diagnosis of KBD and to construct the diagnosis model for KBD in adolescents.Methods A total of 2248 subjects under the age of 18 were collected from 6 KBD endemic and 1 non-KBD areas of the Shaanxi province in China.Analysis of 32 indicators,including gender,age,and KBD clinical indicators.Indicators of the distribution of measurement data between the two groups using t test and analysis of variance,x2 test with count data,multi-category ordered response variables Logistic regression analysis for model building.Results It showed the KBD prevalence rate in adolescent had an increasing tendency with age.Analysis of indicators between the two groups,in addition to the age factor(P < 0.05),the difference of ankle pain,knee pain,wrist movement disorder and other 5 indicators(P < 0.05) and the last bend,elbow movement disorder,syndactyly and other 9 indicators(P < 0.01 ) were statistically significant.Sixteen clinical and radiographic features in the clinical manifestations were significantly related with the clinical severity grading with KBD(P < 0.01 ).Four models on the diagnostic indictors were constructed by cumulative logit model for adolescent KBD (-21ogL,Score,Wald x2 test,P < 0.01 ).Conclusions The establishment of the diagnostic model based on their contribution of the joint involvement in systemic performance-related indicators has an important role for clinical diagnosis of KBD.
