Objective:To measure the voice samples of the normal aged in order to systemically study the fea-tures of the voice changes. Method :To collect and analyze 146 voice samples of the normal aged with sonogram.Result:The fundamental frequency of the voice of the aged decreases and rises in the male more than 80 yearsolder. The low frequency harmonics are regulation and the intensity is strong in the formant of the aged. Thedifference reduces in voice between male and female. The harmonics to noise ratio tends downwards and the am-plitude perturbation quotient tends upwards along with the growth of age in the aged male. The changes of the above-mentioned parameters are not significant in the aged female. Conclusion:The voice changes are normalphysiological ones in the normal aged. The changes of the parameters are used to evaluate normal aged voice andabnormal one. The changes show that the function in the aged phonation tends to decline to a certain extent andit must be protected and be trained.

Objective To explore the relationship of bFGF in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.Methods The expression of bFGF was determined by immunohistochemical method in 130 gastric specimens including 30 cases of chronic superficial gastritis,30 cases of intestinal metaplasia,30 cases of dysplasia and 40 cases of gastric carcinomas.Results In control group with chronic superficial gastritis,precancerous group,and gastric carcinoma group,the expression level of bFGF had a increasing tendency(P < 0.05).Conclusion The expression of bFGF was up-regulated in the carcinogenesis of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To explore the effects of diary therapy on psychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia patients in recovery period.Methods A total of 100 patients with schizophrenia were randomly divided into two groups:control group and training group,50 cases in each group.The patients of control group received the psychiatric routine nursing which meant to carry out daily life guidance,to carry out recreational activities,had regular health education by charging nurses,and so on.The patients of training group were under the basis of conventional treatment and care,and implemented diary therapy.The brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS) was used to assess the prognosis of the patients before and after the intervention.Results In the training group after the intervention,the total scores of BPRS and anxiety depression,lack of energy,thought disorder,activation and hostile suspiciousness factor scores were (24.340 ± 1.891),(5.540 ±0.734),(5.980 ± 1.152),(5.680 ±0.935),(3.720 ± 0.757),(3.420 ± 0.499),which were better than those of the control group (31.740 ± 2.354),(7.140 ± 1.069),(7.500 ± 0.995),(7.320 ± 0.891),(4.940 ± 0.843),(4.840 ± 0.842) (F =70.969,13.383,29.353,35.284,9.297,17.614;P <0.05).Conclusions In the recovery period of schizophrenia patients,the implementation of diary therapy can reduce the patient's mental symptoms,improve the patient's thinking,emotion and behavior,and promote the rehabilitation of patients.

BACKGROUND:In order to solve the problems of poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) stents, such as poor support, acidic metabolites, we researched a novel biogradable stent-PLLA/amorphous calcium plosphate (ACP).
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the safety and histocompatibility of the novel biogradable stent-PLLA/ACP stent implanted in the coronary artery in a porcine model.
METHODS:Sixteen novel biogradable stents were randomly implanted into the coronary arteries, left anterior descending branch, left circumflex artery or right coronary artery of sixteen healthy Tibet miniature pigs. The blood routine and blood biochemistry were measured pre-operation and at 1 month after operation. The coronary blood vessels where the stent was implanted were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining at 1 and 6 months after operation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with pre-operation, the post-operation indicators of the blood routine and blood biochemistry were of no significant difference. Coronary angiography revealed coronary artery patency and no thrombosis, the vascular stent segments exhibited clear boundaries with the surrounding tissue, with no tissue adhesion, necrosis, and adherence abnormalities. The results of hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that there was no significant difference in vascular injury integral between 1 month after operation and 6 months after operation. However, 6 months after operation, the scores of the inflammation were lower (P < 0.05), and the scores of the endothelialization were increased (P < 0.05). There was no myocardial infarction and inflammatory cellinfiltration around the stent. These results suggest that the novel biodegradable stent has good safety and histocompatibility.

Background::Artificial intelligence (AI) technology represented by deep learning has made remarkable achievements in digital pathology, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. The spatial distribution of CD3 + and CD8 + T cells within the tumor microenvironment has been demonstrated to have a significant impact on the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate CD3 CT (CD3 + T cells density in the core of the tumor [CT]) prognostic ability in patients with CRC by using AI technology. Methods::The study involved the enrollment of 492 patients from two distinct medical centers, with 358 patients assigned to the training cohort and an additional 134 patients allocated to the validation cohort. To facilitate tissue segmentation and T-cells quantification in whole-slide images (WSIs), a fully automated workflow based on deep learning was devised. Upon the completion of tissue segmentation and subsequent cell segmentation, a comprehensive analysis was conducted.Results::The evaluation of various positive T cell densities revealed comparable discriminatory ability between CD3 CT and CD3-CD8 (the combination of CD3 + and CD8 + T cells density within the CT and invasive margin) in predicting mortality (C-index in training cohort: 0.65 vs. 0.64; validation cohort: 0.69 vs. 0.69). The CD3 CT was confirmed as an independent prognostic factor, with high CD3 CT density associated with increased overall survival (OS) in the training cohort (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.22, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.12–0.38, P <0.001) and validation cohort (HR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.05–0.92, P = 0.037). Conclusions::We quantify the spatial distribution of CD3 + and CD8 + T cells within tissue regions in WSIs using AI technology. The CD3 CT confirmed as a stage-independent predictor for OS in CRC patients. Moreover, CD3 CT shows promise in simplifying the CD3-CD8 system and facilitating its practical application in clinical settings.
