Objective To explore the relationship between fractional anisotropy (FA) of corticospinal tract (CST) and motor function in stroke patients using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods From January, 2013 to October, 2016, 36 stroke patients were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Japan Upper Limb Function Test and DTI before and eight weeks after rehabilitation. FA in posterior limb of internal capsule, cerebral peduncle and pons were obtained, including ipsilesional and contralesional CST. Results The FA values within three sections of CST were significantly lower in the ipsilesional side than in the contralesional side both before and after rehabilitation (t>5.330, P<0.001). In posterior limb of internal capsule, the FA value increased after rehabilitation (t=-3.415, P<0.05), and no significant dif-ference was found in the other two sections (t<1.653, P>0.05) in the ipsilesional side, as well as in all the sections in the contralesional side (t<1.021, P>0.05). The FA values were positively correlated with the scores of FMA and Japan Upper Limb Function Test in all the sections both before and after rehabilitation (r>0.43, P<0.05), especially the relationship between the FA value and the score of Japan Upper Limb Function Test in the posterior limb of internal capsule (r=0.67). Conclusion DTI can be used to evaluate CST injury and the relationship be-tween CST injury and motor function.

Objective To observe the relationship between injury of corticospinal cord tract (CST) in basal ganglia and upper limb func-tion after stroke using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods 18 stroke inpatients hospitalized from January, 2013 to July, 2015 accepted DTI, and their upper limb function was evaluated with simple Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Japan Upper Limb Function Test. The fractional anisotropy (FA) of CST in basal ganglia of affected and unaffected sides were compared, and the correlation between FA of affected CST and upper limb motor function were analyzed. Results The FA was significantly less in the affected CST than in the unaffected CST (t=-21.09, P<0.001). The FA of the affected CST correlated with the scores of simple Fugl-Meyer Assessment (r=0.570, P<0.05) and Japan Upper Limb Function Test (r=0.509, P<0.05). Conclusion CST is injured after stroke, which may related to the upper limbs motor function impairment.

Objective To understand the effect of standardized training for resident doctors and to improve its evaluation method. Methods A questionnaire survey was made among 89 resident doctors including 46 directors and 46 matrons. Kirkpatrick Model was used to analyze the question-naires in four dimensions including reaction layer,learning layer,behavior layer and achievement layer. Data of reaction layer were analyzed by ANOVA and data of learning layer and behavior layer were compared by paired t-test. Results Reaction layer:the overall satisfaction of the resident doc-tor for training is about 4.09. Learning layer:There were significantly statistical differences in the test scores before and after training(P=0.00). Behavior layer:There were significantly statistical differences in resident doctor’s ability and quality before and after training (P=0.00). Achievement layer:both the complaint rate and the accident rate of the 89 resident doctors were 0 while all of them passed the practicing physician exam. Conclusions Standardized training can improve the quality and ability of resident doctors. Kirkpatrick evaluation model can reflect the effect of the standardized training for resident and is a good tool to analyze the effectiveness of standardized training for resident.

Alzheimer's disease ( AD ) is a complex disease caused by environmental and genetic factors. Therefore, one-drug-multiple-target compounds represent the most promising pharmacological approaches to preventing and treating this dis-ease. We have previously designed and synthesized bis( n)-Cog-nitin, novel anti-Alzheimer's dimers derived from tacrine. Bis ( n)-Cognitin have been proven to act on multiple important AD targets, including acetylcholinesterase, β-secretase, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor and neuronal nitric oxide synthase, con-currently. Moreover, Bis(n)-Cognitin could inhibit β-amyloid-induced neurotoxicity, decrease glutamate-induced excitotoxici-ty, reduce oxidative stress, improve learning and memory, and protect against neuronal apoptosis in various in vitro and in vivo models, suggesting that bis ( n )-Cognitin are potential anti-AD drug candidates.

As a mature management method, the matrix management model has been embraced by various sectors at large. This article introduced the practice of a tertiary general hospital in combining hospital ethics with medical administration and code of conduct for medical service, leveraging the matrix management mode in hospital ethics construction. By sorting out the risk exposure in hospital ethics, the hospital identified specific responsibilities and departments involved. On such basis, eight stable matrix-based ethics working groups were established, namely hospital ethics training, hospital ethics publicity, hospital ethics interview, prevention against prescription statistics for drug rebate, patient rights protection, management of physician practice in other medical facilities, academic cooperation, and hospital ethics tour inspections. Matrix-based management meets the characteristics of hospital ethics development as it not only enables multi-department management needs, but also improves the efficiency. With the advancement and connotation enrichment of hospital ethics development, matrix management can become a regular management mode.

OBJECTIVEMucopolysaccharidosis(MPS) is a congenital hereditary disease. Only a few patients with this disease can be controlled by enzyme replacement therapy. Most of them are short of effective interference. To exploit the effect of treatment with allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, two children were treated with the transplantation.
METHODSThe two patients included a 23 month MPS-IH and an 18 month old MPS-VI at the time of transplantation. Busulfan of 20 mg/kg plus 200 mg of Cyclophosphamide were used as the conditioning regimen. Peripheral stem cells were collected from a 9/10 high resolution matched unrelated donor and a matched sibling carrier donor, respectively. The heart and lung were affected in the patient with MPS-IH. Medium obstructed pulmonary impairment was found by pulmonary function test at the time of transplantation. Medium mitral valve countercurrent and patent ductus arteriosis(PDA) were found by Doppla examination.
RESULTSThe number of hematopoietic stem cells was comparative between the two donors with total nucleated cells and CD34+ cells of 11 x 10(8)/kg and 17 x 10(8)/kg, and 7.6 x 10(6)/kg and 7.2x 10(6)/kg respectively. Neutrophil engrafted at day 11. The process of transplantation in the MPS-VI patient went smoothly with grade II graft versus host disease(GVHD) briefly and only 1 U RBC and 2 U platelet were transfused. For the MPS-IH patient, the process of transplantation was tough with platelet reaching to 20 x 10(9)/L till day 40 and 5 U RBC and 7 U platelet were transfused during transplantation. Grade III GVHD was resolved by steroid, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and CD25 antibody. Pneumonia recurred 3 times with 2 times rescued by trachea intubation and mechanical ventilation because of accompanying acute heart failure. At day 14 the lymphocytes in both patients were 100% from donors as evidenced by short tandem repeat-PCR(STR-PCR). MPS associated enzyme activity was increased to 70 nmol/h.mg and 66 nmol/h.mg at 3 month and still remained 50.9 nmol/h.mg and 44.5 nmol/h.mg at 2 years post transplantation. Till now the 2 patients have been followed up for 25 months and 28 months with good general condition. The cardiac and pulmonary functions have improved obviously in the MPS-IH patient. The cornea became clear in this patient.
CONCLUSIONAllogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an effective measure to treat patient with MPS-IH and MPS-VI. Transplantation at earlier stage of age can decrease transplant related complications. It requires longer time follow up for observing the clinical effects for these patients.

Objective:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:From August 2021 to March 2022, the data of 69 patients who received robot-assisted TKA for inflammatory disease of knee in 6 hospitals were collected, including 24 males and 45 females, aged 52±6 years (range, 46-72 years), including 53 cases of knee osteoarthritis,10 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, and 6 cases of traumatic arthritis. Imaging data examination of patients was completed according to the multicenter specification. Preoperatively, the patient's CT data were extracted before surgery and a personalized prosthesis positioning plan was designed by the robotic system to determine the prosthesis size, lower limb force lines, and femoral and tibial osteotomy volumes; intraoperatively, the osteotomy template was robotically controlled to complete the osteotomy according to the prosthesis positioning plan, and the intraoperative osteotomy volumes were measured to verify the accuracy of the robot-assisted TKA osteotomy with the preoperative planning. Postoperatively, the lateral angle of the distal femur, the medial angle of the proximal tibia and the hip-knee-ankle angle were measured in the coronal plane according to radiographs; the postoperative outcome was evaluated 3 months after operation, using the American Knee Society score (KSS), including the KSS knee score and functional score.Results:The operative time was 97.3±2.3 min (range, 80-110 min) and the amount of bleeding was 320.0±6.2 ml (range, 300-350 ml) in 69 patients. Three months after operation, the mean range of motion of knee joint was increased from 82.2°±1.1° before surgery to 119.7°±0.8° after surgery ( t=27.65, P<0.001), and the line of force of lower limb was improved from 160.9°±0.5° before surgery to 178.0°±0.2° after surgery ( t=32.03, P<0.001). KSS-knee score increased from 54.8±0.7 points before operation to 85.0±0.5 points after operation, and KSS-functional score increased from 56.5±0.7 points before operation to 85.9±0.4 points after operation, the difference was statistically significant ( t=35.45, 36.58, P<0.001). The proportion of patients with intraoperative femoral and tibial osteotomies within 2 mm osteotomy error compared with preoperative planning was 97% for the lateral tibial plateau, 100% for the medial tibial plateau, 100% for the lateral distal femur, 99% for the medial distal femur, 93% for the lateral posterior femoral condyle, and 100% for the medial posterior femoral condyle; The proportion of patients with postoperative anteroposterior X-ray measurement angle error within 3° was: 100.0% for the distal lateral femoral angle, 100.0% for the proximal medial tibial angle, and 100% for the hip-knee-ankle angle. No complications occurred in all patients except for one case in which fat liquefaction occurred in the postoperative wound. Conclusion:Robot-assisted TKA is a safe and effective surgical method for the treatment of inflammatory disease of knee with accurate prosthesis installation and good postoperative recovery of lower limb alignment.
