BACKGROUND: Primary progressive aphasia is a degenerative disease of nervous system clinically characterized by the progressive decrease of speech ability and the relatively reserved memory. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of speech dysfunction and the clinical features of primary progressive aphasia we by reported onel patient with primary progressive aphasia. DESIGN: A case analysis. SETTING: Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences. PARTICIPANT: One male patient of 56 years old with primary progressive aphasia was selected from the Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital in March 2004, he had got education in senior middle school. The patient had been unable to tell the names of daily living objects at the beginning of 2001. Not only his ability of listening comprehension had gradually declined, but his characters had gradually changed except that his memory had not been affected obviously since 2003. Although he was able in self-care now, he could not normally work. METHODS: ① The spoken fluent types of the patient were evaluated with the standards for the fluency of spoken language in Aphasia battery of Chinese. Western battery aphasia was used to assess the type of aphasia of the patient. Boston diagnostic aphasia examination severity grading standard was applied to grade the severity of aphasia. ② The cognitive psychological tests of visual character-figure matching, denomination for figures and oral reading were used to judge whether the patient had verb-noun dissociation. ③The memory of the patient was assessed with clinical memory scale. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① spoken fluency, the type and grade of aphasia; ② condition of verb-noun dissociation for the patient; ③ memory of the patient. RESULTS: ① Examination of aphasia: The patient presented the spontaneous talking that named the fluent type, there were wrong meanings in his talks so that he was diagnosed as sensory aphasia. The severity of aphasia was separated into grade 3 levels. ② Cognitive psychological test: The correct rates of verbs and nouns in the test of denomination for figures were 15% and 53% respectively, and there was obvious difference (t=0.231, P < 0.05). ③ Clinical memory scale: The memory quotient was 111,and the clinical memory grade was higher than normal. CONCLUSION: The most outstanding clinical characteristics of patients with primary progressive aphasia is speech dysfunction, and there is verb specific injury.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the clinical features & variation features of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis and to discuss its effective surgical treatment.
METHOD:
Retrospective analysis of 27 cases of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis patients admitted to the hospital from January 2008 to December 2013. The cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis is classified based on the enhanced CT scanning conducted before operation and the preoperative evaluation of clinical characters of patients. The lymphaden ncisional biopsy was conducted on the type I patients with cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis. The lesion resection was performed on the type II and mixed type I + II patients. The regional cervical lymph node dissection was carried on the type III, the type IV and other mixed type patients. The negative pressure drainage ball was placed after operation, and the cavity was flushed with 5% povidone iodine solution. The antituberculosis therapy was performed after wound healing.
RESULT:
The analysis of the clinical features for 27 patients: the incidence rate on the left side, right side, both sides and middle-line is 63.0%, 25.9%, 7.4% and 3.7% respectively. The majority of patients whose lesion involving more than one region account for 62.1%; the patients whose lesion involving one region account for 37.9%. The most common is level V involved lesion (69.0%), then level IV (62.1%), level III (51.7%), level II (34.5%), level I (10.3%) and level VI (3.4%) in order. The analysis of the CT imageology features for 27 patients: the simple type is the majority (65.5%), and the most common is type III (24.1%), then the type I (17.2%), type II (13.8%) and type IV (10.3%) in order. The mixed type is minority (34.5%), but the two mixed is often (31.0%). The three mixed is only located on one side (3.4%). The recurrence never happened on the patients with resection and standard antituberculosis therapy.
CONCLUSION
For the cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis, the suitable surgical treatments shall be selected according to the lesion characteristics & location and CT imaging manifestations presurgical evaluation. The effective way to treat cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis is to conduct negative pressure drainage after operation, to flush the cavity with 5% povidone iodine solution and to perform antituberculosis therapy.
