Objective To investigate the application validity of the adjusted norm of WAIS-RC in the identification of intellectual disability.Methods128 patients with mental retardation (MR) were chosen for identification of the intellectual disability, measured their full scale IQs (FIQ) according to the original norm, calculated their four-subtest short forms FIQ respectively by Tellegen way according to the original standard norm and the new adjusted norm, then compared and analyzed the outcomes.ResultsThe short forms FIQ according to the original and the new norm had high correlation to full forms FIQ (P<0.01). The average of the short forms FIQ was higher than full forms FIQ according to the original norm (P<0.01), showing no significant difference according to the new norm(P＞0.05). In severe intelligence defected group according to full forms IQ, the grade classification corresponding rate of short forms FIQ according to the new norm was 0.00%, as well as the original norm. That in medium and mild intelligence defected groups was higher than that of original norm(P＜0.01).ConclusionThe test validity of adjusted norm short forms of WAIS-RC is superior to the original norm, but not suitable for severe intelligence defected.

Objective To study a rehabilitation nursing menus for neurogenic large intestine dysfunction.Methods Various nursing approaches were used for defecation dysfunction.Results and Conclusion 94.60% patients improved in the second week,which including gained more awareness,control,and spend less time of defecation.

The recent progress in neural stem cells (NSCs) research has shed lights on possibility of repair and restoration of neuronal function in neurodegenerative diseases using stem cells. Induction of stem cells differentiate into mature neurons is critical to achieve the clinical applications of NSCs. At present, molecular mechanisms modulating NSC differentiation are not fully understood. Differentiation of stem cells into neuronal and glial cells involves an array of changes in expression of transcription factors. Transcription factors then trigger the expression of a variety of central nervous system (CNS) genes that lead NSCs to differentiate towards different cell types. In this paper, we summarized the recent findings on the gene regulation of NSCs differentiation into neuronal cells.

OBJECTIVETo develop a nestin transgenic mice and study the distribution of nestin expression in the organs.

METHODSThe three segments of nestin in full-length cDNA was amplified using human glioma cell line U251 cDNA as the template and cloned into the vector pBROAD3 containing a strong promoter ROSA26. The constructed vector, after identification with restriction enzyme and sequencing and removal of the prokaryotic sequences, were purified and injected into the fertilized eggs of mice. Transgenic mice were identified by PCR and the founder was maintained. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of nestin of the F3 transgenic mice and the wild-type ones in the vital organs (heart, lung, brain and kidney).

RESULTSThe Nestin transgenic vector controlled by ROSA26 promoter was successfully constructed and validated by sequencing. Among the 34 newborn mice, 2 founders were tested to be nestin-positive by PCR. Westem blot analysis showed that the F3 transgenic mice expressed high levels of nestin in the brain and lungs.

CONCLUSIONNestin transgenic mice have been successfully established with stable nestin expression in the brain and lungs of the offspring mice, which can be useful for studying the functions of nestin in tumor metastasis, stemness maintenance and differentiation of cells.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and treatment duration between two methods,tuina plus acupuncture at Qiaogong point predominantly versus conventional tuina method,in treating children with muscular torticollis.Method A hundred children with muscular torticollis were randomized into a treatment group and a control group,50 cases each.The treatment group was intervened by tuina plus acupuncture at Qiaogong point predominantly,while the control group was intervened by conventional tuina method.The clinical efficacies and treatment durations were compared between the two groups.Result The total effective rate and recovery rate were respectively 96.0％ and 80.0％ in the treatment group,versus 90.0％ and 42.0％ in the control group.There was a significant difference in comparing the recovery rate between the two groups (P＜0.05).The between-group difference in comparing the time taken for the effective and recovered cases was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Tuina plus acupuncture predominantly at Qiaogong point can produce a more significant efficacy and it takes a shorter time in treating children with muscular torticollis compared to the conventional tuina method.

OBJECTIVETo investigate Runx3 and C-myc expressions in colorectal cancer and their relationship with the clinicopathological parameters.

METHODSReal-time quantitative PCR was used to detect Runx3 and C-myc mRNA expressions in 38 colorectal cancer tissues and matched adjacent tissues, and Runx3 and C-myc expressions was detected by Western blotting in 63 pairs of colorectal cancer and adjacent tissues. The results were stratified according to the clinicopathological characteristics to examine the relationship of Runx3 and C-myc expressions with the clinicopathological factors in the patients.

RESULTSRunx3 expression was down-regulated and C-myc expression up-regulated at both mRNA and protein levels in colorectal cancer tissues compared with the normal tissues, and their protein expressions exhibited an inverse correlation (r=-0.398, P=0.001). Runx3 and C-myc expressions differed significantly between tumors with different Dukes stages, depths of tumor invasion, lymph node statuses, or histological differentiation (P<0.05); Runx3 down-regulation and C-myc up-regulation were more obvious in tumors in advanced Dukes stage and in poorly differentiated tumors.

CONCLUSIONAbnormal expressions in Runx3 and C-myc may contribute to the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer and are closed correlated with the patient's clinicopathological parameters.
