Objective To investigate the characteristics of memory impairment in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Methods Thirty-five patients with aMCI and 35 healthy adults matched with age and education level were administered with a neuropsychological battery of tests including conception and perception implicit priming tasks (category exemplar, picture identification), as well as explicit memory tasks (immediate recall, delay recall, delay recognition ). Results Compared with healthy elders, patients with aMCI were impaired in the conception implicit priming task(t=-4.33, P<0.01), as well as in explicit memory (immediate recall, t=6.40, P<0.01;delay recall, t=9.29,P<0.01; delay recognition, t=7.65,P<0.01),but not in perception implicit priming task (t=-0.78, P>0.05).The conception implicit priming is positively correlated with verbal fluency (r=0.74,P<0.01). Conclusions The present results indicate that patients with aMCI are impaired in both explicit memory and conception implicit priming. The conception implicit priming impairment in aMCI may be related to their frontal lobe dysfunction.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics of 151 local COVID-19 patients in Shanghai, 2022. MethodsThe clinical data of 151 COVID-19 patients admitted to a district-level designated hospital in Shanghai from April 13 to May 10, 2022 were reviewed, and their clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, lung imaging, treatment and outcomes were analyzed. ResultsThe 151 patients ranged from 3 to 97 years old, with a median age of 72 years. Most of them were clustered cases in the communities and families. The main clinical types were mild (95 cases, 62.9%) and general (47 cases, 31.1%). Most of the 9 severe/critical patients (6.0%) were elderly and complicated with multiple comorbidities. The proportion of people who had not been vaccinated was as high as 66.9%, and the proportion of those among severe/critically ill patients who had not been vaccinated was even higher. The most common first symptoms were expectoration in 71 cases (47.0%), fever in 51 cases (33.8%) and dry cough in 30 cases (19.9%). The counts of white blood cells and neutrophils in mild or general group were mostly normal or decreased, and in the severe/critical group increased significantly (P<0.001). Increase of troponin, D-dimer, creatinine, and myoglobin; and decrease of lymphocytes in severe/critical group were more common than the other clinical types (P<0.05). The proportions of use of antibiotics, antiviral drugs, thymalfasin and heparin in severe/critical and general patients were significantly higher than those in mild patients (P<0.05). Among the cured and discharged patients (138 cases, 91.4%), the median number of days for COVID-19 viral nucleic acid to turn negative after treatment was 12 days. The negative conversion days of mild patients were significantly shorter than those of general patients and severe/critical patients (P<0.01). Four (2.6%) death patients were all over 80 years old, unvaccinated, combined with multiple comorbidities, and eventually died of those serious comorbidities. ConclusionCOVID-19 patients at the district-level designated hospital are mainly clustered cases, and the proportion of patients who do not receive COVID-19 vaccine is high. Most of the hospitalized patients are mild, but advanced age, multiple underlying diseases, and lack of vaccination are high-risk factors for developing severe disease. Early assessment and comprehensive treatment are the key to improve prognosis.

BACKGROUND: Splint fixation was a common treatment for limb fracture, but there were some limitations, such as lack of individual difference, easy to lose and being unable to self-adjusting.OBJECTIVE: To explore the design method of digital splint and related finite element analysis.METHODS: Forearms were scanned with CT; periphery parameters were extracted, followed by reverse modeling and modifying. The digital splint models were constructed. Material attribute and mechanical loading were conducted. Thelimb length, maximum stress and displacement of the bone, soft tissue and splint were calculated by finite elementanalysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The digital splint has favorable tight attaching and balanced stress to skin, and whichkeeps well stability for the micro-motion fracture ends. Our study indicated that better tight attaching splint could bedesigned by digital modeling technology. Favorable fracture fixation and mechanical property could be also achieved.

Objective:To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of intravenous leiomyomatosis involving the heart.Methods:From March 2009 to December 2018, 5 patients with intravenous leiomyomatosis with cardiac involvement were collected from The First Hospital of Lanzhou University.All patients were admitted to the hospital as space occupying lesions of right atrium.The relevant data such as echocardiography, CT and MRI were recorded.The preoperative diagnosis, surgical methods and therapeutic effect of the patients were analyzed and summarized.Results:All the 5 patients were female with an average age of (45.8±2.2) years old.Their clinical manifestations were chest tightness and shortness of breath.Three patients had a history of giant hysteromyoma.Echocardiography was performed in all patients, and 3 of them obviously extended to the inferior chamber.Cardiopulmonary bypass was established and thoracoabdominal incision was performed, and the tumors were completely resected in 5 patients, and the origin of tumors was consistent with the result of MRI in 3 cases.The tumor originated from the right uterine vein in 3 cases, and 2 cases originated from the right ovarian vein and was intubated in the femoral vein.The operation was smooth and the postoperative recovery was good.All patients were discharged smoothly.No tumor recurrence was found in pelvic cavity, inferior vena cava and heart after 1 year follow-up.Conclusion:Venous leiomyomatosis involving the heart is rare and easy to be misdiagnosed.Most of them are diagnosed as right atrial space occupying lesions.The diagnosis can be improved by echocardiography, CT and MRI before operation.The operation mode should be adjusted according to the intraoperative findings and different origins, and the tumor should be completely removed as far as possible, and combined with gynecology consultation if necessary.The short-term follow-up showed good prognosis.

According to the high failure rate and high maintenance cost of SIF-Q260 enteroscope in Endoscopy Center of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University,the causes for the failure of SIF-Q260 enteroscope were analyzed by the Reason model from four aspects of environmental impact,unsafe supervision,unsafe behavior precursor and unsafe behavior.In view of the analyzed causes of failures at all levels,measures should be proposed from three aspects of regular training to standardize the decontamination and use of endoscopes,appointment of special personnel to manage endoscopes,regular supervision and evaluation of the standardization of endoscopic decontamination,and improvement of the supervision system of endoscopes to block the"loopholes"in the system and provide a basis for the formulation of endoscopic quality control measures,which can prevent and reduce the occurrence of endoscopic failures.
