This paper introduces the concept,the research paradigms and the related theory of the attentional blink,and reviews the relevant researches about the attentional blink of the children and adults with ADHD in the last 10 years.Compared to normal subjects,children and adults with ADHD did show more severe AB effect,and adults with ADHD showed more eye movement behavior.In future studies,standardized RSVP paradigm should be set up to provide convenience for the comparison of results of studies,and find out what kind of processing restrictions will affect the characteristics of different age ADHD groups in the time dimension of attention.In addition,ADHD and inhibitory control related closely,consideration should be given to the combination of inhibitory control paradigm and AB paradigm.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and differential value of triphasic, especially the arterial phase, contrast enhanced CT scans for the hepatocellular adenoma, and to improve CT diagnostic accuracy. Methods Spiral CT scanning of pre and post contrast arterial phase, portal venous phase and delayed phase was performed in 5 patients with hepatocellular adenomas proved surgically and pathologically. The enhancement was administrated with venous injection of 3 ml/sec, totally 100 ml angiografin. Arterial phase of contrast enhanced scanning started 20～30 sec, portal venous phase 60～70 sec and delay scanning 3 min after the injection of contrast medium. The degrees of the enhancement of adnoma and normal tissues of liver in the three contrast enhanced phases were calculated and compared statistically. Results In plain CT, the lesions were iso density in 4 cases and slight hypodensity in 1 case, which was hardly distinguished from the normal tissue. In all 5 cases, the lesions showed marked enhancement in the arterial phase compared with normal tissue of liver (38 HU high), and there were markedly statistical difference ( t =18 94, P 0.05). The mean CT value of hepatocellular adenoma in the arterial phase was much higher than that in portal venous and delay phase, there were statistical differences between them ( F =18.39, P

BACKGROUND:Adipose-derived stem cels under osteogenic induction can be combined with biodegradable silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold, which is expected to develop a new biocompatible and osteogenic bone fusion material. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite composite on the viability and osteogenic properties of adipose-derived stem cels after osteogenic induction. METHODS:Adipose-derived stem cels were obtained from rat’s fat tissue, then adherently cultured, proliferated and passaged in vitro. Passage 3 cels were cultured in conditioned medium for osteogenic induction, and then seeded onto silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold as experimental group. Adipose-derived stem cels cultured on the cover glasses at the same condition acted as control group. The celular morphology, proliferation and differentiation were assessed respectively by means of phase contrast microscope, MTT assay and alkaline phosphatase activity measurement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After osteogenic induction, adipose-derived stem cels could adhere to the scaffold material and proliferate on the surface of silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold normaly. No significant difference was found in cel proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity between the experimental and control groups (P > 0.05), suggesting the celular activity and function were not affected by the material. These findings indicate that silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite composite material has good cytocompatibility. Subject headings: Silk; Hydroxyapatites; Stem Cels; Adipose Tissue; Biocompatible Materials; Tissue Engineering.
