Objective: To study characteristics of children's EEG complexity at different ages and in different physiological states.Methods: The continuous 24 hour EEG recordings were obtained from 16 electrodes in 45 essential healthy children between the ages of 0 to 15 years. EEG complexity was analyzed by non linear measure in 7 states: awake with eyes opened, awake with eyes closed, NREM (nonrapid eye movements) sleep including stages ⅠandⅡ (light sleep), ⅢandⅣ(deep sleep) and REM (rapid eye movements) sleep. Meanwhile, the correlation was analyzed between complexity and ages.Results: (1)The global EEG complexity in state of being awake with eyes opened was greater than that with eyes closed;that in wakefulness state was greater than in sleep state. The EEG complexity gradually decreased with the increase of deep sleep in NREM sleep state.The complexity in REM sleep state was greater than that in deep sleep state, but lower than in wakefulness state. (2) The global EEG complexity was positively related to ages in state of being awake with eyes opened, state of being awake with eyes closed, light sleep, and not related to ages in deep-sleep state and REM sleep state.(3)In every brain area EEG complexity was positively related to ages in state of being awake with eyes closed .In paracentral region EEG complexity was positively related to ages in states of being awake with eyes opened and light sleep.Conclusion: The EEG complexity was used to study the brain dynamical characteristics in different physiology states and the relationship between encephalic electric activity and brain development. It can be used as an objective index to evaluate the function and development of brain.

This article introduces the experience of CHEN Ying-yi, chief physician and one of the teacher of the fourth group of inheriting academic experience of veteran TCM experts of China, in treating perimenopausal women’s dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Chen holds that the basic pathogenesis of perimenopausal dysfunctional uterine bleeding is kidney deficiency with fever or stagnation. Treatment should focus on replenishing kidney and using the traditional Chinese drug by stages. The methods of stopping bleeding, clearing origin and reinstating the status quo are used flexibly. In clinic, it should grasp the key points of syndrome differentiation, and modify the therapy in accordance with the symptoms. Validated by clinical application, Chen’s experience has satisfactory curative effect and reference values for the treatment of perimenopausal women’s dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Contact lenses and conjunctival sac secreta were placed onto chocolate agar after PRK .Corrected visual acuity ,intraocular pressure and corneal thickness were compared in the 2 groups .Results Among 100 pieces of cornea contact lens ,3 pieces (3% ) were tested positive for bacteria detection and bacteria were staphylococcus epidermis .All conjunctival sac secreta of preoperative and postoper‐ative were not detected bacteria ,postoperative eye infection was not found .Between the positive and negative groups ,tear secretion , may be related to cultivate positive correlation .Conclusion Bacterial contamination is possible when using bandage contact lenses after PRK ,specially for patients with less tear secretion .

BACKGROUND:Radiation-induced brain injury has recently become an increasing area of research, in particular in animal experimental studies. Domestic and international researches show that there have been no uniform scanning parameters used for examination of animal models of radiation-induced brain injury by magnetic resonance imaging. In this study, we performed magnetic resonance imaging in rabbits to determine related sequence parameters. OBJECTIVE:To establish the New Zealand rabbit models of radiation-induced brain injury, and obtain the brain magnetic resonance images of rabbits using LOOP7 coil, so as to provide experimental evidence for diagnosis of radiation-induced brain injury by magenetic resonance imaging. METHODS:Each of T2-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility-weighted imaging were performed several times through the use of LOOP7 coil, to determine the optimal scanning parameters for each sequence. Rabbit models of radiation-induced brain injury were established and then their right hemispheres were irradiated using 6 MV X-rays at a single dose of 40, 80 and 120 Gy. The daily performance and dynamic magnetic resonance signs of rabbits were observed. The brain tissue was taken for pathological examination once abnormal magnetic resonance findings were observed or after 20 weeks of folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Only one rabbit model in the 40 Gy group had subdural hemorrhage. In the 80 Gy group, abnormal T2-weight imaging signals were observed in al rabbit models, which were pathologicaly confirmed as scattered degenerated neurons and infiltrated neutrophils. The abnormal signals that gradualy expanded over time were seen in rabbits from the 120 Gy group by magnetic resonance imaging and were pathologicaly confirmed as radiation-induced brain injury loci. The results confirm that establishing rat models of radiation-induced brain injury using radiation therapy system can better simulate the pathological process of radiation-induced brain injury; moreover, this model can be applied to receive routine magnetic resonance examination with LOOP7 coil.

Objective Using the evidence-based medicine to investigate the effect of cognitive behavior intervention on physical and mental health in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods Controlled studies related to psychological intervention on depression and glyeosylated hemoglobin in patients with type 2 diabetes were retrieved from electronic databases such as CNKI,VIP,Wanfang database and Pubmed,etc.The quality of included studies was evaluated and then data were analyzed by using RevMan5 software.Results A total of 273 articles were retrieved and finally 6 were enrolled.Results of Meta analysis were listed as follows:Cognitive behavior intervention could reduce score of Self-rated Depression Scale (SDS) in patients with diabetes mellitus.Cognitive behavior intervention could effectively reduce glycosylated hemoglobin values in patients with diabetes mellitus.Conclusions Cognitive behavior intervention can improve physical and mental health,decrease glycosylated hemoglobin and improve depression status in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.However,all the trials included in this review are of low quality; larger scale RCTs of higher quality are needed to confirm this conclusion.

Objective To investigate the detection of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1),macrophage stimulating protein (MSP) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in differential diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer.Methods Thirty four patients with pulmonary tuberculosis,45 patients with pathologically confirmed lung cancer admitted in Quzhou People' s Hospital during December 2009 and December 2011,and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in the study.MCP-1 and MSP in serum and pleural effusion were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and CEA was detected by chemiluminescence method.Receiver operating characteristic method was used to determine the cut-off values of MCP-1,MSP and CEA in diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis or lung cancer.Results Serum MCP-1,MSP and CEA levels in pulmonary tuberculosis patients and lung cancer patients were higher than those in healthy controls.Compared with lung cancer patients,patients with pulmonary tuberculosis had higher serum MCP-1 and lower CEA levels (t =2.69 and 0.89,P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference in serum MSP levels between two groups (t =2.89,P ＞ 0.05).While in pleural effusion,patients with pulmonary tuberculosis had higher MCP-1 level (t =3.54,P ＜ 0.05),lower MSP and CEA levels than those with lung cancer (t =3.47 and 3.48,P ＜ 0.05).Serum MCP-1 level was of the highest specificity (95.6％) with the cut-off value of 240 pg/mL in diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis,while MSP level in pleural effusion was of the highest specificity (94.1％) with the cut-off value of 1100 pg/mL in diagnosis of lung cancer.Conclusion Detection of MCP-1,MSP and CEA in serum and pleural effusion can be used for the differential diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer.
