50Gy gave better survivals.Conclusion Age,tumor histology,ex- tent of resection,interval time of postoperative radiotherapy and the dosage of target were related to survival.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of speech therapy on mental health of patients with aphasia. MethodsCRRCAE and SCL-90 were used to assess the speech and mental state in 28 aphasia patients. All aphasia patients were treated by using speech therapy and the changes before and after treatment were compared. ResultsThe scores in listening comprehension, repetition, naming, reading,reading comprehension, writing and counting were distinctly higher at post-treatment than that at pre-treatment. All SCL-90 factor's levels at post-treatment were distinctly reduced than that at preat post-treatment(P<0.01).Conclusions Speech therapy can improve the language function,as well as mitigate the mental symptoms.

AIMTo increase the cognition of cerebellar functions and the knowledge of neuroimmunology, the effect of cerebellar interposed nuclei (IN), one of three deep nuclei in cerebellum, on lymphocyte function was investigated.

METHODSKainic acid (KA) was microinjected into bilateral IN for lesions of neuronal bodies in the IN. Control rats was microinjected with saline into their IN. On days 8, 16 and 32 following the IN lesions, the lymphocyte number in the peripheral blood was measured by blood corpuscle counter. Meanwhile, lymphocyte proliferation induced by concanavalin A (Con A), cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells against YAC-1 cells, and anti-SRBC IgM antibody in the serum were examined respectively by methyl-thiazole-tetrazolium (MTT) assay, flow cytometry and ELISA assay.

RESULTSThe lymphocyte number in the peripheral blood was significantly reduced on days 8, 16 and 32 following the effective lesions of the bilateral IN in comparison with that of control. The Con A-induced lymphocyte proliferation, the NK cell cytotoxicity to YAC-1 cells, and the titer of anti-SRBC IgM antibody in the serum, were all significantly attenuated on days 8, 16 and 32 following the effective lesions of the bilateral IN in comparison with those of control. There were not remarkable differences between the days 8, 16 and 32 in the decreased lymphocyte number and functions induced by the lesions of the bilateral IN.

CONCLUSIONEffective lesions of the cerebellar bilateral IN of rats cause an inhibition in lymphocyte number and functions of T, B and NK cells, strongly showing that the cerebellar IN can modulate lymphocyte functions.

AIM: To study on antisense oligoncleotides as inhibitor of human acute promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) proliferation and C-myc protein expression. 　METHODS: Oligonucleotides with different lengths (18-21 mer) complementary to the definite regions of C-myc mRNA, modified groups (with S replaced O in internucleotide phosphate linkage) and unmodified ones (with natural internucleotide phosphate linkage) were designed and synthesized. These olignucleotides were tested for their activity on HL-60 cell and also for their toxicity on normal lymphatic cells of human. 　RESULTS: It was found that two of the oligonucleotides complementary to 5′-44-61 and 5′-556-576 the regions of C-myc mRNA exhibited great inhibitory effects (59.5 % and 62.7 %) on growth of HL-60 cells for a definite time. And no toxicity of the two antisense oligonucleotides was found on normal lymphatic cells of human. 　CONCLUSION: The sequence of antisense oligonucleotides complementary to 5′-44-61 of C-myc mRNA was designed newly by us may be turned into inhibitory medicine of HL-60 cells.

OBJECTIVETo observe the synergic or antagonistic effect of needling acupoints Fengchi (GB 20) and Tianzhu (BL 10), and Jiaji C4-C6 (EX-B2) on vertebro-basilar insufficiency (VBI).

METHODSSelf-control method was used and 20 cases of VBI were respectively treated with acupuncture at Fengchi (GB 20) and Tianzhu (BL 10), Jiaji (EX-B2). Their combination and the changes of vertebro-basilar artery's (VBA) systolic velocity of blood flow was detected.

RESULTSThe VBA's systolic velocity of blood flow after acupuncture were increased in all the 3 groups (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), with no significant difference among the 3 groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture at Fengchi (GB 20) and Tianzhu (BL 10) or Jiaji (C4-C6 ) or their combination can increase VBA's systolic velocity of blood flow, improving blood supply of vertebro-basilar artery, but they have no synergic or antagonistic effects.

The main physiological role of iodine in the body is to synthesize thyroid hormone. Both iodine deficiency and iodine excess can lead to severe thyroid diseases. While its role in thyroid diseases has increasingly been recognized, few relevant platforms and techniques for iodine detection have been available in China. This paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of currently iodine detection methods including direct titration, arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry, chromatography with pulsed amperometry, colorimetry based on automatic biochemistry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, so as to optimize the iodine nutrition for patients with thyroid diseases.

Objective To observe the effect of sterimar physiological sea water spray nasal spray on children with mild intermittent allergic rhinitis (AR).Methods 81 cases with mild intermittent AR from March 2014 to March 2015.All the cases were divided into observation group (n=40) and control group (n=41) according to the double blind and random number table method.The control group were given conventional loratadine treatment, observation group on the basis of the control group given sterimar physiological sea water spray nasal spray treatment.The symptoms of allergic rhinitis, signs score, mucociliary transport rate and clinical curative effect between two groups pre-and post-treatment were analysed and compared.Results After treatment, the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, signs score in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (t=12.908,t=11.340;P<0.05).The mucociliary transport rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (t =4.119;P<0.05).The total effective rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group (97.50%vs.80.49%;χ2 =5.933,P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical treatment effect of sterimar physiological sea water spray nasal spray could effectively alleviate the symptoms in the treatment of children with mild intermittent AR, which has an accurate efficacy.
