Objective To investigate the effect of attention training on cortical activation area and lateralization index in interference effect of dual-task paradigm as the poststroke nonfluent aphasiacs processing the Chinese character tasks. Methods 20 cases with nonfluent aphasia after stroke were divided into the training group and the control group, who accepted attention training and cognitive training respectively, 30 min a time, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. They were investigated the cortical activation area and lateralization index caused by interference effect of dual-task paradigm under block design. Results The right inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral parietal and cerebellar cortex were activated before training in both groups, and more activated after attention training, but no change after cognitive training. Lateralization index suggested that the right brain was more activated before training, while the left side was activated after attention training, but no change after cognitive training. Conclusion The right inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral parietal and cerebellar cortex are very important in solving the dual task interference in the attention stage, and they are activated after attention training. It indicates that attention training makes a significant functional reorganization on Chinese character processing in poststroke nonfluent aphasiacs.

Objective To explore the influence of attention training on Chinese character processing capability in poststroke nonfluent aphasiacs. Methods 60 stroke patients with nonfluent aphasia and cognition dysfunction were divided into control group (n=30) and experimental group (n=30). The trainings (attention training and cognition training) were respectively 30 minutes each time, 5 times each week for 4 weeks. The change of reaction time and error rate were compared before and after they were performing the orthographic, semantic and phonological tasks. Results In the dual-task paradigm the change of reaction time and error rate in orthographic and semantic tasks of the experimental group were all higher than the control group (P<0.001). But there was no difference between the two groups in the phonological task (P>0.05). In the single task paradigm there was no difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion 1. Attention training can improve the processing capacity significantly in orthographic and semantic tasks in the dual-task paradigm because the volume and distributive ability of attention improve significantly. 2. Attention training can't improve the processing capacity in phonological tasks in the dual- task paradigm because reading aloud and judging are required to process the vowel simultaneously. So that the competion intensifies and it is more difficult to finish the task. 3. In the single task paradigm, there is no significant difference between the influence of the two trainings in poststroke nonfluent aphasiac because the single task needs little attention and the change in the control group is enough.

Objective To study the biocompatibility of bioactive glass ceramic (BGC) materials with bone marrow stromal cell (BMSc) and the osteogenic capability of BMSc using tissue-engineering methods. Methods The osteogenic potential in vitro of cultured BMSc in a conditional medium was examined by histochemistry stains technique. The BMSc was cultured in combination with BGC. The attaching and extending speed of the cells to the materials, the proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity were tested. Then the composite was implanted into the skeletal muscle beds in rabbits. All implants were examined by gross observation and histological examination. Results The BMSc showed a similar property to those of osteoblasts. BMSc can attach to and extend on BGC materials. No inhibition to celluar proliferation and ALP activity were observed by the materials. New bone can be observed in the composites of the BMSc and BGC materials. Conclusions BMSc may provide a rich cellular resource in tissue-engineered bone formation. New bone tissue can be formed by tissue engineering methods.

To design and manufacture a new bone matrix material (NBM) composed of both organic and inorganic materials for bone tissue engineering, the osteogenic potential of NBM combined with osteoblasts was studied in vitro and in vivo. Osteoblasts from bone marrow stromal cells of New Zealand rabbit were cultured with NBM in vitro , then the materials combined with osteoblasts were implanted into the skeletal muscles of rabbits. The osteogenic potential of NBM was evaluated using contrast microscope, scan electromicroscope and histological examination. Osteoblasts could attach and proliferate well in the NBM, secrecting lots of extracellular matrix, while in vivo experiment of the NBM in osteoblasts group showed that a large number of lymphacytes and phagocytes invaded into the inner of the material in the rabbit skeletal muscle beds after 4 weeks of implantation, no new bone formation was observed after 8 weeks. The different osteogenic potential expressed by NBM between in vitro and in vivo may be due to the immunogenity of NBM which causes cellular immunoreaction to destroy the osteogenic environment. More attention should be paid to the immunoreaction problem in tissue engineering between the host and organic inorganic composite materials.

Objective To compare the osseo-induction and biodegradation performances of three types of injectable and degradable calcium phosphate cement (CPC) so as to find out a better bone substitute. Methods Three types of injectable and degradable CPC were respectively implanted into the bilateral tibias of 24 New Zealand rabbits: pure CPC (Group A), CPC added with Zinc and Strontiumions (Group B), and CPC with composite rhBMP-2 (Group C) . Their systematic and local reactions in implanted region were closely observed. The degra- dation and osseo-induction performances were compared macroscopically, microscopically and by CT scan to find out the one that could best meet clinical needs. Tissue slices were sampled and photographed four, eight and 16 weeks after operation. Five photographs were selected in each group and at each time points for computer software (Image Pro Plus 5.1) processing to calculate the percentages of bone in the images of postoperative slices. Results In Groups A and B, new bone was found to form slowly and little by little, and the ossification was not synchronous with the material degradation. In Group C, however, new bone was observed to form early and massively, and the os- sification was almost synchronous with the material degradation. In Groups A, B and C, the percentage of bone in the images of postoperative slices was (41.7?16.6)%, (31. 2?12.2)% and (71.7?21.0)% respectively. The bone percentage in CPC with composite rhBMP-2 was significantly higher than that in the other two types of CPC (P<0.01 ). Conclusion The injectable and degradable CPC with composite rhBMP-2 is more suitable for clinical use, because it can induce early new bone formation and synchronous biodegradation.
