Objective To explore the value of microarousal in the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). Methods 120 snorers were monitored by standard polysomnography(PSG). The overnight PSG recordings were also performed 1 year after operation in 24 patients, who had filled in the Epworth Sleep Score(ESS) before and after treatment, to evaluate the improvement of daytime sleepiness. Results After operation, obstructive sleep apnea of the 24 patients disappeared, their ODI 4 decreased from (52?26)/h to (10?8)/h, microarousal decreased from (28?16)/h to (14?6)/h, and the subjective and objective daytime sleepiness was improved. Conclusion The EEG changes of microarousal with at least 3 seconds in OSAHS patients can be recorded by computerized EEG analysis. Microarousal can serve as an index for daytime sleepiness, and be complementary to AHI in the diagnosis and treatment of OSAHS.

s Objective: To identify neural correlates for the recognition of familiar verbal voices by measuring regional blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods:Thirteen Chinese health male subjects (mean age 26.1 years, SD= 2.9years) participated in the study. All subjects were right-handed and Han nationality. The subjects listened to familiar (subjects' friends) and unfamiliar voices when functional scanning. Functional data were acquired using a 1.5T MRI (GE Systems, USA), and were analyzed using statistical parametric mapping 99 (SPM99). A fixed-effects model was employed to assess the difference in BOLD response between 'familiarity' and 'unfamiliarity' conditions (P

Objective:To develop the Abusive Behavior Scale for Superiors under the Chinese context (ABSSC) and test its validity and reliability.Methods:Based on literature analysis and the open questionnaire survey in 32 employees,this study defined the construct of ASBSS,and compiled the preliminary questionnaire.A sample of 200 employees coming from companies was selected for item analysis.A sample of 445 employees was investigated with this questionnaire,223 of them were assessed for exploratory factor analysis and 222 of them were assessed for confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency test with 2 week interval.Results:The ABSSC consisted of 11 items in 3 factors,which were neglect and slander,obstructionism and hard on subordinates.The 3 factors explained 55.45％ of the total variance.Furthermore,the result of CFA indicated that the model fitted the data with well constmct validity (RMSEA =0.06,GFI =0.94,NFI =0.92,CFI =0.96,IFI =0.96).The Cronbach α coefficient of the whole scale and its three facts were 0.87,0.79,0.78,and 0.76,respectively.Conclusion:It suggests that the Abusive Behavior Scale for superiors under the Chinese context (ABSSC) is reliable and valid enough to be applicable to measure superiors' abusive behavior under the background of Chinese culture.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of tracking movement of normal patellar using volume scan on sensation 320 CT. Method Data of dynamic scans of 30 knees was collected using the motor function of 320 CT and retrospectively analyzed. The data of movement of the patellorfemoral joint was obtained during flexion (from 0° to 120°) within 10-sec by 320 CT from all volunteers. The 3D coordinate of the center of patella was recorded to investigate the dispose relation of patellofemoral joint.Result With the knee angle changed from 0° to 90°, the patella moved rapidly along the Y-axis direction ( sagittal plane) down about (53.87 ± 0. 45 ) mm, and then entered the plateau phase with little change.When the knee flexion reached 10°-30° ,the patellar movement along the X-axis reached the largest range of (2. 31 ±0. 52)-(3.36 ± 0. 43 ) mm, and subsequently moved to the opposite lateral direction with the maximum about (8. 53 ± 0. 44 ) mm at 120°. In the Z axis, the track initially showed plateau, and then presented a rapidly downward trend after 30°. The patellar tracking is like an outward arc during the whole knee flexion. Conclusion The motor functional imaging of 320 CT can pinpoint the patelar tracking in a fast, painless way.

Objective To investigate the difference among neonatal rat models of hypoxia-ischemia induced white matter injury of brain by three different methods and to provide theory basis on choosing the proper animal model for deep study on white matter injury of premature infants.Methods Three different hypoxia-ischemia methods were applied to induce brain white matter injury model of Wistar rats of postnatal 3rd day which were left carotid artery ligation followed by 6％ oxygen for 30 minutes and for 4 hours respectively,and bilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 8％ oxygen for 30 minutes.Compared brain pathological results of rats in different groups,changes in white matter of brain by glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and myelin basic protein (MBP) immunostaining,and changes in time of opening eyes and eyes appearance.Results Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6％ oxygen for 30 minutes resulted in sparse and vague periventricular white matter without necrotic lesions,and the degree of GFAP intensity [(5 021.63 ± 358.92) OD] increase and MBP intensity [(18 488.63 ± 1 822.62) OD] decrease were lowest (P ＜ 0.000 1),as well as the delay of opening time of the left eye.Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6％ oxygen for 4 hours resulted in necrotic lesions of periventricular white matter,with the degree of GFAP intensity [(6 069.13 ± 458.61) OD] and MBP intensity [(15 003.38 ± 1 559.11) OD],and also the delay of opening time of the left eye.Bilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 8％ oxygen for 30 minutes caused cystic necrosis of bilateral periventricular white matters,and the degree of GFAP intensity [(6 194.50 ±432.69) OD] increase and MBP intensity [(10 119.35 ± 735.16) OD] decrease of the left side were highest(P ＜ 0.000 1),as well as the delay of opening time and cataract in both eyes.Conclusion Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6％ oxygen for 30 minutes is more suitable for investigating mild brain white matter injury.Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6％ oxygen for 4 hours and bilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 8％ oxygen for 30 minutes are more proper for the investigation of severe periventricular leukemacia cases.

Objective To observe the effect of long-term intensive glucose control therapy on diabetic retinopathy in outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods Forty-nine patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly assigned to participate in the trial from 2002 to 2007,receiving either intensive (24 cases) or standard glucose control (25 cases).The patients were examined by the same ophthalmologists to identify any new diabetic retinopathy (DR).After 5 years of intensive glucose control,all of the patients were asked to attend our clinic every 6 months,but no attempts were made to maintain their previously assigned therapies.Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1 c) was measured regularly.In November of 2009,a retinal examination was carried out by the same ophthalmologist who worked in the trial.The visual acuity,lens,vitreous body and fundus were examined after pupil dilation to identify diabetic retinopathy (DR).Fundus fluorescein angiography and retinal laser photocoagulation were carried out when necessary.Results In the second year after enrollment in the trail,the median HbA1c level of the intensive-therapy group was significantly lower than that of the standard-therapy group [(6.3 ± 0.6) ％ vs.(7.2 ± 1.2) ％,t =2.09,P ＜ 0.05],and was maintained in a controlled level throughout the following 4 years.During the post-trial monitoring,no new case of of macula edema or diabetic associated blindness occurred in either intensive or standard-therapy group,the whole occurrence of micro-aneurysms,fundus hemorrhage,as well as those who needed retinal laser photocoagnlation and lowering in visual acuity in intensive-therapy group was lower than that in the standard-therapy group (3 vs.14,1 vs.7,2 vs.4,3 vs.11,respectively ;9 vs.36,totally,x2 =4.719,P ＜ 0.05).During the first post-trial monitoring,there was no difference in median HbAlc level between intensive-therapy group and standard-therapy group [(7.2 ± 1.1) ％ vs.(7.3 ± 1.3) ％,t =0.25,P =0.806],which was sustained in the following years.In the trail,no new case of fundus hemorrhage or diabetic associated blindness occurred in intensive-therapy group during the five-year period of therapy.Number of new episodes of micro-aneurysm,macula edema were less in intensive-therapy group than that in standard-therapy group,number of new episodes of lowering in visual acuity,and those who needed retinal laser photocoagnlation,were significantly less in intensive-therapy group than that in standardtherapy group(15 vs.25,4 vs.23,Z =-4.459,P ＜ 0.05) during five-year follow-up.Conclusions The benefit of reduced incidence of diabetic retinopathy in intensive glucose can be maintained because of the legacy effect.

Objective To explore the significance of language proficiency in bilingual perception in Chinese-English late bilingual subjects with block-design functional magnetic resonance imaging (bfMRI).Methods Thirteen right-handed Chinese Han healthy male late bilinguists who had limited English proficiency were scanned while listening to short sentences in Chinese and English.Based on blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal efficacy,functional images were collected using a 1.5-T MRI.Statistical parametric mapping 2 (SPM2) was used to analyze the data of functional images (P＜0.001,KE＞ 100).Results For Chinese familiar voices,more significant activation was observed in the right superior temporal gyrus than that for English familiar voices.On the contrary,more significant activations for English familiar voices were observed in the left precuneus,middle frontal gyrus and left posterior cingulate cortex compared with that for Chinese familiar voices.For Chinese unfamiliar voices,more significant activations were observed in the right middle temporal gyrus and right medial frontal gyrus than that for English unfamiliar voices.In contrast,more significant activations by English unfamiliar voices were observed in the right inferior frontal gyrus,middle frontal gyrus and left middle temporal gyrus compared with that for Chinese unfamiliar voices.Conclusion Language proficiency may play an important role in different language perception from auditory level.
