Objective To study the rule of dynamic change of cognitive function in community elderly and predicting for dementia through using items of MMSE. Methods A 10 year follow up of cognitive function survey was carried out in the non dementia old people using Chinese version Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE). The elder people were divided into two groups (dementia group and non dementia group) according to the DSM Ⅲ R diagnostic criteria 10 years later. Results (1) A total of 1 192 subjects completed all data sheets by two surveys and 124 cases(10 4%)were identified in the second survey 10 years later. (2)Almost all the baseline item scores and its change of MMSE of the dementia group were higher than that of the non dementia group. (3)Orientation of time, serial subtration by seven, reading items of MMSE were effective predictors for the dementia, resding and orientation of time were significant predictors for Alzheimer's disease through logistic regression model. Conclusions The item analysis of MMSE is important information for the epidemiological research.

Objective To explore the relationship between psychosocial factors and risk of vascular dementia. Methods A cohort study of people 55 years old and over were followed up 10 years after a baseline screening. 5055 older subjects in Shanghai were stratified and cluster sampled from community. Information about psychosocial factors was collected during the baseline screening with an interview in 1987. The clinical diagnosis of dementia and vascular dementia (VD) were made according to DSM-Ⅲ-R and Hachinski Ischemic Score (HIS). In 1997,the elders who were not having dementia in 1987 were surveyed; Clinical diagnosis terms of that was made in above mentioned criteria. Then we analyzed the relationship between the psychosocial factors and VD in community elderly population by means of Logistic regression and estimated the incidence of VD.Results 1203 subjects were re-surveyed in 1997 and among them 124 new cases of dementia including 36 cases of VD were identified. By calculating the relative risk (RR) of psychosocial factors to the VD, we found that several psychosocial factors were correlated with the VD including not taking group activities, unsatisfying life, negative life events and depression (RR>1). ADL total score are also good predictive points for VD.Conclusions Psychosocial factor may play an important role in the vascular dementia developed.

Objective To evaluate the utility of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) in assessing acute non-reperfused myocardial infarct size. Methods Seven domestic pigs (mean weight 17.3 ± 1.9 kg) underwent ligation of the distal left anterior descending artery to establish a model of acute myocardial infarction (MI). MSCT and triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining were performed two hours later. The following data were acquired and analyzed:MI volume (%), CT values of the infarcted region, left ventricular cavity and normal cardiac tissue at various scanning time-points (1, 5, 10, 15, 20 min after contrast injection). Results Using MSCT, the overall MI volume showed a time-dependent decrease, with a reduction of 28.87%after 20 min. The greatest reduction occurred at the 5 min time-point. In TTC staining, MI volume was 9.87%± 2.44%. When MI size, as determined by MSCT, was compared with that by TTC staining in Bland-Altman plots, there was a better agreement at 5, 10, and 15 min time-points at 1 and 20 min. Conclusions The study indicates that double-phase scanning examination using MSCT is a useful tool to assess MI size, and the optimal late-phase scanning time-point set within 5-15 min of contrast injection.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of CalliSpheres microsphere-transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (CSM-TACE) versus conventional transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (cTACE) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through a meta-analysis. MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP were searched for all Chinese and English articles on the application of CSM-TACE and cTACE in HCC published up to the end of October, 2020. After quality assessment was performed for the articles included, RevMan 5.3 software provided by Cochrane Library was used for analysis. ResultsA total of 15 studies were included, with 1535 patients in total. This meta-analysis showed that compared with the patients receiving cTACE, the patients receiving CSM-TACE had significantly higher 1-year overall survival rate (odds ratio [OR]=2.26, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.63-3.13, P<0.000 01), 2-year overall survival rate (OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.20-2.50, P=0.003), and 2-year progression-free survival rate (OR=1.60, 95%CI: 1.05-2.43, P=0.03). In terms of safety, compared with the patients receiving cTACE, the patients receiving CSM-TACE had significantly lower incidence rates of postoperative vomiting (OR=0.65, 95%CI: 0.46-0.92, P=0.01), bone marrow suppression (OR=0.17, 95%CI: 0.05-0.54, P=0.003), and neutropenia (OR=0.18, 95%CI: 0.07-045, P=0.000 3), while there were no significant differences between the two groups of patients in postoperative pyrexia, abdominal pain, and ascites (all P>0.05). ConclusionCSM-TACE has significant advantages in improving 1- and 2-year overall survival rates and 2-year progression-free survival rates and can significantly reduce the incidence rates of postoperative vomiting, bone marrow suppression, and neutropenia. Therefore, CSM-TACE is a safe and effective treatment method.
