Developmental dyslexia is a specific learning disability. The cerebral mechanism of development dyslexia is an important topic that has fascinated many researchers. With the introduction of brain imaging in studies of cerebral mechanism of development dyslexia, many achievements have been made. Studies of developmental dyslexia structure image found that development dyslexia showed brain structure abnormal in the parietotemporal region, occipitotemporal cortex, inferior frontal gyrus, and cerebellum et al, manifesting either in one specific area or by the asymmetry of one area; the functional image studies revealed that development dyslexia showed activity abnormal in most regions that proved to display structure abnormality; studies of brain functional connectivity demonstrates that the abnormality of development dyslexia happened not only in the connection between front-back part in one cerebral hemisphere, but also in the connection between the two hemispheres. In addition, some studies indicate Chinese development dyslexia has different brain mechanisms compared to that of alphabetic languages. These findings provide valuable insight for future developmental cerebral mechanisms research and for the expansion of Chinese development dyslexia research.

Objective To explore the sensitivity and specificity of near-infrared spectroscopy ( NIRS) in the diagnosis of depression. Methods From March 2013 to August 2013,62 patients with de-pression and 70 normal controls were collected from Peking University Sixth Hospital. Optical Tomography System (52 channels) was used to collect the NIRS data during the Verbal Fluency Test (VFT),and the number of words produced during VFT task was recorded. The wave analysis was performed by a professional psychiatrist. Results There was statistical difference in the number of words produced during VFT task be-tween the patients with depression (8.65±0.49)and control group(10.19±0.43) ( t=2.385, P<0.05). Through the wave analysis of NIRS to test patients with depression,the results demonstrated that the sensitivi-ty was 66.1% and the specificity was 91.4%. Conclusion The results of NIRS test display high specificity in the diagnosis of depression,which can be used as an objective index for clinical auxiliary diagnosis.

Three hundred and nine patients with thyroid nodules detected by physical examination in Harrison International Peace Hospital from October 2013 to October 2017 were divided into intervention group (155 cases) and control group (154 cases). Patients in intervention group received oral levothyroxine sodium 25 g / d for 12 months and those in control group had no treatment, patients were followed up every 3 months to 12 months. After treatment, the maximum diameter and thyroid nodule volume of the intervention group were (31.87±3.84) mm and (17.32±0.94) cm3, which were significantly smaller than those of the control group [(34.01±3.72) mm and (24.25±1.21)cm3, P<0.05]. TSH in intervention group was lower than that in control group [(2.24±0.41) vs. (2.52±0.58) mIU/L, P<0.05] and free T4 (FT4) was higher than that in control group [(25.64 ± 3.85) vs. (16.39 ± 3.28) pmol/ L, P<0.05]. TC, TG and LDL?C in intervention group, were lower than those in the control group .The HDL?C level in intervention group was higher than that in control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, there were no malignant changes in the intervention group, while the malignant change rate in control group was 2.6% (4/154). It is suggested that levothyroxine treatment can reduce TSH level in patients with benign thyroid nodules, inhibit the growth of thyroid nodules.

Objective:To know the clinical characteristics, seasonal pattern and influencing factors of atypical depression(AD) patients.Methods:A total of 203 depressed outpatients of Peking University Sixth Hospital from January 2021 to August 2021 were included.They were assessed with demographic questionnaire, inventory of depressive symptomatology self-report(IDS-SR30) and seasonal pattern assessment questionnaire(SPAQ). According the score of IDS-SR30, all patients were classified as atypical depression(AD) and non-atypical depression(non-AD). The data were analyzed by t-test, non-parametric test and Logistic regression using SPSS 26.0 software. Results:The prevalence of AD among depressed patients was 36.0% (95% CI=29.3%-42.6%). The IDS-30 score of the AD group was (41.59±10.59), and IDS-30 score of the non-AD group was (36.08±13.17), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=3.062, P<0.05). The global seasonal score of the AD group was 6 (3, 9), and 17.8% of the AD group had seasonal pattren.The global seasonal score of the non-AD group was 5 (3, 8), and 14.6% of the non-AD group had seasonal pattern.There was no significant difference in the global seasonal score and the proportion of seasonal pattern between the two groups ( Z=0.389, χ2=0.359, P>0.05). Depression patients who were females ( β=1.08, OR=2.95, 95% CI=1.32-6.59, P<0.05), low self-evaluation ( β=0.82, OR=2.27, 95% CI=1.12-4.59, P<0.05)and psychomotor retardation ( β=0.93, OR=2.54, 95% CI=1.33-4.85, P<0.05) were more likely to be diagnosed as AD, and depression patients having mood variation ( β=-0.94, OR=0.39, 95% CI=0.19-0.81, P<0.05) were more likely to be diagnosed as non-AD. Conclusion:Women, low self-evaluation, psychomotor retardation and unobvious mood variation can predict and help to diagnose atypical depression in depressed patients.

【Objective】 To analyze the testing results of platelet antibody in peripheral blood of 266 pregnant women, so as to explore the correlation of platelet antibody between adverse pregnancy and the number of pregnancies. 【Methods】 A total of 266 pregnant women, admitted to Shaanxi Provincial People′s Hospital, were selected for platelet antibody detection. They were divided into two groups according to history of adverse pregnancy, and the positive rate of platelet antibody between two groups was compared. They were divided into group A (1 pregnancy), group B (2 pregnancies) and group C (≥3 pregnancies) in parallel, and the positive rate of platelet antibody among three groups was compared 【Results】 The yield rate of platelet antibody in groups with and without adverse pregnancy was 31.81% vs 14.86%, showing statistical significance(P<0.05). The yield rate of platelet antibody of Group A, B and C was 9.09%, 21.62% and 23.65%, respectively, with The significant differences(P<0.05). The statistical analysis of inter-group χ2 test demonstrated a linear trend between the number of pregnancies and platelet antibodies yielding(χ2=7.056, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Platelet antibody was correlated with adverse pregnancy, and the yield rate of platelet antibody in the group with adverse pregnancy was higher than that in the group without adverse pregnancy. There was a linear trend between platelet antibodies yielding and the number of pregnancies. The yield rate of antibodies gets higher as the number of pregnancies increased. Taking platelet antibody test as a routine test during pregnancy is conducive to the early detection of clinical adverse pregnancy, as well as the early prevention, early detection and early intervention of fetal/neonatal homoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura and other diseases.
