Objective To investigate whether there are correlations between working memory impairmentand fractional anisotropy values and to explore the neuropathology underlying that the patients of depression suffered from memory impairment.Methods Thirty depression patients and 30 healthy controls group-matched by age,educational level were conducted the study.Mean correct reaction time(mRT)was recorded when they performed a One-Back Working Memory Task and fractional anisotropy(FA)values was recorded when they performed the diffusion tensor imaging.Statistics analysis was done respectively for mRT and FA values between two groups.Results Relative to mean correct reaction time((612.45±54.08)ms)of controls,the mean correct reaction time ((720.25±57.02)ms)of patients with depression was much longer(P＜0.05)and the patients with depression had a lower FA values in the white matter of both frontal lobe,anterior cingulate gyrus,supramarginal gyrus,splenium of corpus callosum(P＜0.05),and the FA values in the white matter of both frontal lobe were significantly negative correlated with mRT(r=-0.604,P＜0.05).Conclusion The impairment of white matter region may be one of the neuropathology underlying that the depression patients suffer from memory impairment.

We evaluated clinical application effect of gene chip for detection of rifampin (RFP) and isoniazid (INH) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).Rifampin and isoniazid drug-resistance gene loci were detected by gene chip with sputum specimens from smear-positive tuberculosis patients and clinical strains,comparing the results of detection.BACTEC MGIT 960 drug susceptibility test results were used as control to evaluate the detection performance of gene chip.The sequences of the polymerase chain reaction products of the rpoB,katG and inhA genes from 999 strains identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis were determined to confirm the mutations by DNA sequencing.Results showed that 100 cases were identified as nontuberculous mycobacteria by gene chip in the 1 108 cases of smear-positive samples.Among the rest 1 008 samples,there were only 9 cases of microarray results different from BACTEC MGIT960 culture-positive strains,achieving the coincidences of 99.1％.Compared with BACTEC MGIT 960 drug susceptibility test results,the gene chip method displayed a concordance of 98.1 ％ and 94.5 ％ for RFP and INH respectively in the 999 strains.Compared with the DNA sequencing method,the accuracy of gene chip method was 99.6％ for rifampin resistance and 99.8％ for isoniazid resistance.It's concluded that the gene chip technology can quickly and accurately detect rifampin and isoniazid resistance in MTB and can be used directly for the detection of sputum samples.

BACKGROUND:Mouse nerve growth factor can promote the repair and regeneration of injured nerves, but current experimental research shows that the effects of different treatment methods are stil controversial.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of mouse nerve growth factor injection via different ways on the treatment of peripheral nerve injury.
METHODS:Total y 52 patients with peripheral nerve injury were randomly assigned into two groups:experimental group (local injection of mouse nerve growth factor, n=27) and control group (systemic administration of mouse nerve growth factor, n=25). The treatment was performed once a day, and lasted for 4 weeks. Then, the clinical efficacy and recovery of neurological function were compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The good and effective rates were 85%(n=23) and 93%(n=25) in the experimental group, while 72%(n=18) and 84%(n=21) in the control group, respectively, which were significantly better in the experimental group than the control group (P<0.05). In the experimental group, 13 cases developed transient pain at injection site, including one case of remission undergoing oral analgesics;in the control group, 12 cases had transient pain at injection site, without any treatment. The results suggest that both local and total body injection of mouse nerve growth factor are safe and effective for treatment of peripheral nerve injury, but local injection is superior to systemic administration.

OBJECTIVE To acquire the information about the gene type and epidemic condition of the hospital to provide scientific proof for monitoring and controlling nosocomial infection.METHODS Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) was identified by its resistance to cefoxitin of disk diffusion and mecA PCR,randomly amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) was carried out with the optimization condition.RESULTS The rate of MRSA infection was 72.15% and the main gene type was A in the hospital.CONCLUSIONS The nosocomial infection may exist in the hospital and the hospital must take effective measure to decline nosocomial infection of the MRSA;RAPD is suitable for molecular epidemiology with high powerful discrimination,simplicity and rapidness.
