1. Fronotemporal lobar degeneration: An update
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;28(2):204-208
Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a non-Alzheimer dementia syndrome characterized by focal atrophy of the frontal and/or temporal lobes. Recently, it has been found that FTLD is related to the degeneration of tau protein, and is closely associated with corticobasal ganglionic degeneration, progressive supranuclear palsy, and motor neuron disease. This article reviews the progress in etiology, genetics, pathology, clinical features, and diagnostic criteria of FTLD.

Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2006;0(04):-
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of repeated endoscopic sclerotherapy injection(ESI) and endoscopic variceal ligation(EVL) in eradication of esophageal varices among patients who survive an episode of first variceal hemorrhage with a high risk of rehaemorrhagia and death. Methods The correlated literatures were identified from Medline,Embsae,the Library Cochrance,PubMed and CNKI.RevMan 4.2 Software provided by the Library Cochrance was used for data analysis. Results A total of 4 randomized controlled trials were included.It was demonstrated that there was no significant difference in the esophageal varices eradication rate between repeated ESI and EVL(OR=0.75,95%CI: 0.48-1.15;P=0.19).However,the rehaemorrhagia rate of EVL after emergency hemostasis was significantly lower than that of ESI(OR=2.19,95%CI:1.44-3.31;P=0.000 2).Meanwhile,there was no significant difference in mortality between ESI and EVL(OR=1.34,95%CI:0.82-2.17;P=0.24).Little publication bias was found with funnel plot analysis. Conclusion EVL outperforms ESL in prevention of rehaemorrhagia in treatment of esophageal varices,while does no better than ESL in eradication of esophageal varices and mortality.

Objective To investigate clinical effect and safety of ostium secundum atrial septal defect(ASD) treatment via one -stop hybrid and classical surgical procedures.Methods 45 patients were diagnosed ostium secun-dum simple ASD by ultrasound cardiogram and clinical manifestation,they were divided into one -stop hybrid proce-dure group (n =20)and classical surgical procedure (n =25).Age,gender,weight,post operation hospital day,on -pump time,blood transfusion amount,drainage flow,incision length and incidence of complication between the two groups were compared.Results Age and weight had no difference between the two groups(t =0.40 and 1.64,P >0.05),but the proportion of female cases in one -stop hybrid procedure group was higher than post operation(χ2 =9.45,P <0.05).Hospital day was shorter(t =11.11,P <0.05),drainage amount was fewer(t =81.68,P <0.05), incision length(t =22.51,P <0.05)was shorter.Incidence of complication had no statistically significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =0.35,P >0.05).And one -stop hybrid procedure group was off -pump without blood transfusion.Conclusion One -stop hybrid procedure was simple,could make a quick recovery post operation and was an ideal method for ostium secundum ASD treatment.

Objective:To investigate the renal injury of portal hypertensive rat after one hour of occlusion of portal vein and inferior vena cava.Methods:Healthy male Wistar rats were taken randomly as normal control、portal hypertensive control and trial group.The recoverable portal hypertensive model was induced firstly.Three weeks later ,15 model rats were taken randomly as portal hypertensive control group,others had another operation and were divided randomly into 0,6h,12h,24h,48h,72h,7d group according to different reperfusion time after 1 hour of occlusion of portal vein and inferior vena cava.At the corresponding time points after reperfusion,the examinations below were done:serum ALT,TBIL,BUN,Cr concentrations;mor-phological changes of liver and kidney,the ultrastructure of renal tissue.Results:Serum and Cr in trail group reached their peak value 12~24 hours after reperfusion,then decreased gradually,and returned to normal 72 hours after reperfusion.The main injury of kidney was located in proximal tubular epithelial cell ,it peaked at 12 hours and 24 hours after reperfusion,the sporadic karyopyknosis and karyorrhexis could be seen,but the basement membrane preserved well.48 hours later,the restoration could be seen.7 days later it restored obviously.Conclusion:There are obvious injury in tubular epithelial cell in the portal hypertensive rat after 1 hour of occlusion of portal vein and inferior vena cava.But the injury of kidney is reversible.

AIM: To approach the antiobesity action and mechanisms of the daidzein derivative: LRXH609(LRX).METHODS: The body weight,Lee′s index,total weight of celiac fat tissue,food intake,serum glucose and lipids in obese rats induced by a high-fat diet were measured and the antiobesity action was tested after LRX was administered for 30 days.3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were induced by in vitro culture,the effects of LRX on cell proliferation,lipogenesis,lipolysis were observed.RESULTS: The body weight,Lee′s index,fat tissue weight in obese rats were significantly decreased by LRX,and the concentrations of TC,FFA in serum were decreased,the proliferation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes was inhibited,the activities of hormone sensitive lipase in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were significantly elevated,the glycerine release from adipocytes was promoted and the concentrations of TG in adipocytes were decreased.CONCLUSION: LRX plays a role in antiobesity action and regulating blood lipid and the mechanism might be related to inhibiting proliferation and differentiation of pre-adipocytes,stimulating TG decomposition by activating hormone-sensitive lipase and decreasing the TG storage in adipocyte.

Objective To discuss the significance of the application of real-time quantitative PCR(RQ PCR)for diagnosis and guidance therapy of cytomegalovirus(CMV)infection after allo- hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods Thirty-three patients were undergo- ing allo-HSCT.After hematopoietic reconstitution,patients'peripheral blood samples were detected for CMV DNA by RQ-PCR periodically.Anti-viral therapy was begun,attenuated and stopped ac- cording to the results of CMV DNA detection.The effects of anti-viral therapy and patients' clinical results were observed.Results CMV DNA was detected in blood samples from 13 of 33 patients. There were 21 episodes in these patients.Only 1 episode wasn't controlled hecause the patient gave up the therapy.CMV DNA copies were disappeared soon or decreased and then disappeared during anti-viral therapy in the others'.Patients which had symptoms and/or dysfunction of organs were cured too.Each course of anti-viral therapy was shorter than ordinary course.Conclusions CMV in- fection can he diagnosed as early as possible by RQ PCR.To begin,attenuate and stop anti-viral ther- apy according to the results of RQ-PCR is safe.The course is shortened and the side effects of anti vi- ral drugs were attenuated.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of short-time group psychological guidance on mental quality of college students. Methods:Designed the content of one day's psychological coach.600 college students received psychological coach successively.60 students were randomly chosen as the intervened group,who were treated with one-day group psychological guidance,while 60 students,who never attended the group psychological guidance,were chosen as control.Assessed and compared the mental quality of the intervened group and the control group with the Faith in People Scale (FPS),Personal Evaluation Inventory (PEI),Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) on the day before or 1 and 12 weeks after coach.Results:There were no significant differences of the scale of FPS,PEI,SAS,and SDS between two groups before coach and there were significant differences between two groups after coach.Conclusion:Short-time group guidance is helpful to developing college students' ability in interpersonal contact and self-confidence and improving depression and anxiety.
