Objective:To analyze identify method of mild cognitive impairment. Methods:The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Chinese Revised (WAIS-RC) and Wechsler Memory Scale-Chinese Revised (WMS-RC) were examined in 150 patients with memory complaints. 63 individuals whose intelligence quotient (IQ) and memory quotient (MQ) over 85 were designated as normal elderly group;and 33 individuals whose IQ scores over 85 and MQ score between 70 and 84 as mild cognitive impairment(MCI-1) group; and 25 individuals whose IQ scores over 85 and MQ scores between 55 and 69 as MCI-2 group; 29 individuals whose IQ scores and MQ scores less than 85 and conformed with DSM-Ⅳ as Alzheimer disease group.Results: Picture short memory and mental control (B)showed the highest identification between the 2 MCI groups and normal elderly group. Besides, visual reproduction played an important role in mild memory decline (MCI-1) group. Tactile memory, logical memory and associated learning played an important role in moderate memory decline (MCI-2) group.Conclusion: Picture short memory and mental control (B) contribute to identify MCI speedily and effectively.

Objective:To assess clinical validity of the Chinese version of Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (DRS) in differentiating dementia of Alzheimer type (AD). Methods:Administered the DRS, mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and clinical dementia rating(CDR) to 61 outpatients with AD and 104 healthy elderly subjects in Shanghai.Results:There was significant correlation between DRS and the total score,and DRS and MMSE.DRS of the AD group had significant correlation with CDR.Its significant correlation with CDR suggested satisfactory concurrent validity of the scale. The optimal DRS cutoff score for AD according to education level revealed a sensitivity of 85%～94% and a specificity of 90%～94%.Conclusion:The DRS is a clinically valid test for the detection of AD and its severity of cognitive impairment.

In recent years, the virtual surgery training system with force feedback has provided a new way for young doctors to improve their surgical skills in a safe, efficient and flexible training method. Precise drilling force and realistic hand feeling of manipulation are the cruxes in the virtual surgery training, and the accurate simulation of bone drilling depends on the accurate establishment of drilling force prediction model. The establishment of force prediction model with finite element analysis is the key part in the development of virtual training system. In this paper, the current research status of finite element analysis of bone drilling presented in four aspects: bone model reconstruction, material model, mesh model and prediction of drilling force, especially the construction of bone tissue material model is discussed in detail and several important models are analyzed. This paper presented a relatively complete overview of the approaches commonly used in this research field to promote the establishment of more accurate force prediction models of bone drilling.

The transesterification reaction conditions of lard with methyl acetate with combined use of immobilized lipases as catalysts were conducted. Initially, according to single factorial experiments, the studies on Lipozyme TL IM and Novozym 435 respectively catalyzed transesterification of lard showed that the optimal parameters of transesterification reaction were: the molar ratio of methyl acetate to oil of 14∶1, 40% enzyme added based on oil weight, temperature 50℃. Combined use of Lipozyme TL IM and Novozym 435 was proposed further to improve the catalytic performance by the response surface method (RSM). Herein, a 5-level-3-factor central composite rotated design was employed to evaluate the effects of lipase loading, the proportion of the two lipases and amount of methyl acetate. The optimum conditions were as followings: 40% lipase loading based on oil weight, 50%/50% the proportion of lipases (Novozym 435/Lipozyme TL IM), and the molar ratio of methyl acetate to oil of 14∶1. And under the optimal conditions, the highest biodiesel yield of 97.6% could be attained, which was higher than the biodiesel yield with each single one of the two lipases. The results suggested that the technics of combined use of certain immobilized lipases catalyzed transesterification reaction of lard for biodiesel production with methyl acetate as the acyl acceptor could raise the FAME yield and save the production cost.

Medical imaging involves not only the multidisciplinary knowledge,but also the concurrent updating of the knowledge system related to the imaging technology development.In this case,it's an important issue how to guarantee the teaching quality of the medical imaging postgraduate education effectively and cultivate the professsionals with higher comprehensive quality in the limited teaching time available.Thus the implementation as well as the teaching effects of the reading report in the promotion of medical imaging postgraduates' research ability and comprehensive quality is needed to be discussed from the accumulation and update of knowledge system.

BACKGROUND:It has great significance to understand individual human leucocyte antigen allele(HLA) haplotype and genotype in organ allotransplantation.OBJECTIVE:To analyse HLA allele frequency,haplotype frequency and characteristices in 36 cases of living-related donor kidney transplantation.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The gene polymorphism analysis was performed in the Tissue Typing Laboratory of Organ Transplantation of Ruikang Hospital of Guangxi Traditional Chinese Medical University from January 2007 to June 2008.PARTICIPANTS:Thirty-six cases of living-related donor kidney transplantation,who were relatives of Guangxi Han population.METHODS:HLA-Ⅰantigen was detected by dry plates of monoclonal antibodies,and HLA-Ⅱ antigen was subjected to genotyping using PCR-SSP technique.And then the allele and haplotype frequencies of HLA-A,B,DRB1 were calculated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:HLA haplotype and genotype of Guangxi Han population.RESULTS:A total of 11 HLA-A,24 HLA-B and 13 HLA-DR alleles were detected among 36 cases,showing a rich polymorphism.A2-B46,A11-B60,B46-DRB1*09,B60-DRB1*15 and A2-B46-DRB1*09 among 144 haplotypes were informative with frequency higher than 0.05.A total of 10 HLA-A-B haplotypes and 9 HLA-B-DRB1 haplotypes were in strongest linkage disequilibrium.Distribution of HLA-A,B,DRB1 alleles and haplotypes in Guanxi population is similar to Han population in South China,such as Hunan and Taiwan,but had its own characteristics.CONCLUSION:HLA alleles have richer polymorphisms with exhibit geographic genetic characteristics.
