Objective To determine whether attention allocation deficits contribute to nonfluent aphasia during orthography, phonology, and semantic processing with Chinese characters. Methods Sixteen patients and sixteen controls participated in single and dual tasks. In the single task participants were required to read Chinese characters silently and to make radical, semantic, and final sound judgments (for example, whether the charactersincluded the sound 'ang' ) simultaneously. During the dual task the only difference was that the participants wereasked to read the presented characters aloud and make the same three judgments. Reaction time and error rate were recorded and analysed. Results Reaction times in orthographic judgment were significantly longer for patients than for controls in both task setups. The error rate was also significantly higher. The patients' reaction times in makingphonological judgments in the dual task were significantly longer than in the single task, but there was no significantdifference in error rates between the patients and the controls. In making semantic judgments, neither reaction times nor error rates differed significantly with either the single or dual task protocol. Conclusion Attention allocation deficits play a key role in Chinese character orthographic and phonological processing for nonfluent aphasia sufferers.

Objective To discuss the effect of modified venipuncture method on success rate of vcnipuncture, in order to alleviate the suffering of patients with emergency transfusion. Methods 380 cases of transfusion patients were randomly divided into the routine group and the modified group, rou-tine and modified venipuncture methods were applied to each group respectively. The success rate and pain response of each group were compared between the two groups by χ2 test. Results The success rate of venipuncture of the modified group was 93.50%, which was significantly higher than that of the routine group, and the rate of pain of the modified group was lighter than that of the routine group. Conclusions The modified venipuncture method can alleviate pain of patients, improve work efficien-cy and was worthy of clinical nursing application.

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a potentially fatal zoonosis caused by Echinococcus multilocularis (E .m) , primary located in the liver and showed malignant invasion .AE can develop to the lungs and brain metastases .Operation treat-ment and medication therapeutic efficacy show poor effect .The mechanism of AE invasive growth and metastasis is unclear . Angiogenesis is a highly regulated behavior in normal tissues .Abnormal angiogenesis is one of the key signs of malignant tumor ,and VEGF is one of the key mediators of angiogenesis .Numerous studies have shown that VEGF and CD34 plays an important role in the formation of tumor angiogenesis and invasive growth process .This article discussed the role of angiogene-sis in AE aggressive ,aimed to provide a new way for the clinic conservative treatment for patients with advanced stage ,preven-ting recurrence after operation ,and adjunctive therapy of operation and drug .

More and more studies indicate that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor of the cognitive impairment. It is showed that factors such as diabetic vascular complications and inherenrt metabolism impairment, affect the cognitive functions of the diabetics, and poorly controlled blood sugar and insulin resistant may also play a role in it.

Objective To investigate whether insulin glargine can increase compliance and improve hyperglycemia or not in solitary senile patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods Thirty-two solitary senile patients with type 2 diabetes were given insulin glargine once daily besides the previous oral hypoglycaemic agents.Results FBG decreased(2.6? 1.5)mmol/L and(0.3?0.1)mmol/L in observing and control group respectively(t=1.691,P

Objective To investigate the effects of various intensity of 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on up-per limbs motor function after stroke. Methods From December, 2014 to December, 2015, sixty patients with ischemic stroke were random-ly divided into high density group (HD, n=20), low density group (LD, n=20) and control group (n=20). They all received routine rehabilita-tion and medication. The HD group received rTMS over contralesional motor cortex twice a day, while the LD group received rTMS once a day, and the control group received sham stimulation, 10 minutes a time for 10 days. They were tested with motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) of upper limbs and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and after treatment. Results The ampli-tude of MEPs of the affected cortex, the scores of FMA and MBI were more in HD and LD groups than in the control group after treatment (P<0.01), and were more in HD group than in LD group (P<0.01). No serious side-effect was found. Conclusion rTMS was feasible for pa-tients with stroke to improve the upper limbs motor function. It is more effective as more times a day.

OBJECTIVEThe changes of pain threshold and expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn of rats were observed after targetedly damaged the cerebraspinal fluid-contacting nucleus (CSF-contacting nucleus) to provide experimental evidence for the mechanism of regulating pain CSF-contacting nucleus involved in.

METHODSMale adult SD rats were divided into control, sham, choleratoxin subunit B conjugated with horse-radish peroxidase (CB-HRP)and damage groups randomly. The pain threshold using mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were recorded and analyzed. Immunofluorescence method was used to observe the expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn.

RESULTSCompared with the control, sham and CB-HRP groups, the MWT and TWL of the damage group were significantly increased (P < 0.05). The results of immunofluorescence showed that 5-HT was detected in neurons of CSF-contacting nucleus. In the damage group, the number of neurons of CSF-contacting nucleus reduced gradually, and no survived neurons were observed at the 10th day. Meanwhile, both the expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn increased gradually, and negatively correlated with the change of pain threshold.

CONCLUSIONThe method of targeted damaging CSF-contacting nucleus by cholera toxin subnit B conjugated with saporin(CB-SAP) is scientific and reliable, and it results in the changes of pain threshold and expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn of rats. This study suggests that CSF-contacting nucleus participate in the regulation of pain, moreover, 5-HT and c-Fos play important roles in this regulation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the preventive effect of drugs imitating the ischemic preconditio ning to the donor lung.MethodsAdenosine was used to imitate the early protection of ischemic preconditioning, SOD to imitate the delayed protection and both of them to imitate the integral p rocess of ischemic preconditioning. At the same time, a control group was set up . The rabbits' lungs were flushed, the heart-lung blocs harvested, and adenosin e, SOD, both or none of them wadded respectively. After preservation for 6 h, th e lungs were reperfused for 1 h with the isolated rabbit lung reperfusion model. The PaO 2, airway pressure, pulmonary compliance, wet/dry ratio and content of NOS were measured. The microscopic and electron microscopic examinations were c arried out.ResultsPaO 2 values were the highest in the control group, followed by the SOD group, the adenosine group, the combined use group. The differences among the groups we re significant. The wet/dry ratio was the highest in the control group, followed by the adenosine group, the SOD group, the combined use group with the differen ces among the groups being significant. The airway pressure and NOS content in t he imitating ischemic preconditioning groups was lower than that of the control group. The pulmonary compliance of the imitating ischemic preconditioning groups was higher than that of the control group. However, the differences were not si gnificant. The microscopic and electron microscopic examination revealed that th e pathological changes in the imitating ischemic preconditioning groups was obvi ously lightened as compared with those in the control group.ConclusionsAdministration of the drugs imitating ischemic preconditioning could improve pul monary oxygenation function and ameliorate pulmonary edema. Although the drugs s howed less effect in ameliorating airway pressure, pulmonary compliance and NOS activity, the imitating ischemic preconditioning could protect the donor lung.
