Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)is one of the most common comorbidities of ASD.This article reviews the assessment tools and clinical research (prevalence,clinical characteristics and treat-ment)and fundamental research (iconography,genetics,neurophychology,electronerophysiology)of ASD with ADHD according to lately related articles.The findings suggested that there was lack of researches on treatment and iconography of ASD with ADHD and the conclusions were inconformity.Furthermore,most of the objects in these researches were children of normal intelligence.Thus future research should expand its objects to patients of adult and children with mental retardation and do further explore in iconography and treatment.

Objective To develop a measurement method for determination of optical parameters of a red blood cell ( RBC) suspension based on the measurement of spatial scattered light signals without using an integrating sphere.Methods Multiple independent photoelectric sensors and light intensity modulation were used to obtain the measured values of diffuse reflectance,diffuse transmittance and collimated transmittance.The measured data results were imported into a Monte Carlo simulation based RTE to inversely determine the absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient and anisotropy factor of the measured sample using a new perturbation method.Results The described measurement method was applied to determine the optical parameters of a polystyrene microsphere suspension with a mean diameter of 2.6μm,and the results were essen-tially consistent with the calculated optical parameters by Mie code.Then, the RBC suspension was used for testing optical parameters,and the results were basically consistent with the parameters in the literature.Conclusion The system based on the measurement of spatial scattered light signals without using an integrating sphere will provide a quick and accurate approach for quantitative analysis of free hemoglobins and RBC suspensions.

BACKGROUND:Many domestic and foreign scholars and institutions are studying how to relieve radiation damage and to find the most suitable drug, while ginsenosides as the main pharmacological ingredient of ginseng show significant antioxidant effect. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the ease effect of ginsenosides on human hematopoietic stem cels under different intensities of ionizing radiations. METHODS: The CD34+ hematopoietic stem cels were isolated from the healthy cord blood. Then the cels were divided into normal group and ginsenoside-pretreated group, respectively, exposed under 1, 2, 5 Gy of X-ray irradiations for 24 hours. Cel viability was detected in irradiated hematopoietic stem cels by MTT assay. Apoptosis was estimated using the folowing assays: Annexin-V assay, caspase-3 mRNA and protein levels. The generation of reactive oxygen species was evaluated, in the presence or absence of ginsenoside in liquid cultures of CD34+ human hematopoietic stem cels irradiated with 1-, 2- and 5-Gy X-rays, using a flow cytometry assay. The Nrf-2 mRNA and protein levels were also studied by western blot analysis and RT-PCR, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Ionizing radiation at the therapeutic dose could decrease the viability of CD34+ cels and induce the cel apoptosis, and meanwhile, the activity of intracelular reactive oxygen species also showed a progressive increase that was correlated with the dose of ionizing radiation. However, ginsenoside pretreatment could relieve these above-mentioned effects. Ginsenoside inhibited the increase in caspase-3 activity induced by ionizing radiation, and additionaly, enhanced the mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf-2 in CD34+cels. In conclusion, ginsenoside protects CD34+ hematopoietic stem cels from radiation effects, which is probably correlated with anti-apoptosis and anti-oxidant roles of ginsenosides.
