Objective To explore the CT perfusion imaging with acetazolamide (ACZ) challenge test in the diagnosis of chronic cerebral insufficiency.Methods 100 patients undergoing health examination in our hospital from Aug 2009 to Feb 2011 were chosen,52 patients diagnosed as chronic cerebral insufficiency were defined as the case group,and the remaining 48 cases of healthy elderly people were defined as the control group.The brain CT perfusion imaging with acetazolamide challenge test,and the cerebral blood flow (CBF),cerebral blood volume (CBV),mean transit time (MTT) and time to peak (TTP) in anterior cerebral artery (ACA),middle cerebral artery (MCA)cortical branch supply area,MCA deep perforator region,posterior cerebral artery (PCA) and pons part blood supply area were examined in the elderly people of two groups.Results CBV and CBF values in ACA,MCA cortical branch supplyarea,MCA deep perforator region,PCA and pons part blood supply area after ACZ stimulation were significantly lower in case group than the control group (t=3.57,3.39,9.34,11.04,4.21,5.99,9.91,11.10,6.66,9.97,P＜0.01 or 0.001),while MTT and TTP values were significantly higher in case group than in the control group (t =7.21,6.94,16.53,4.82,11.67,6.46,6.11,6.71,6.87,4.82,all P＜ 0.001),CBV and CBF values in the control group were significantly higher after ACZ excitation than before the challenge (t=6.44,6.86,9.72,10.99,7.03,6.33,12.48,14.82,8.98,12.03,all P＜0.001),and the MTT and TTP values in the control group were significantly lower after ACZ excitation than before the challenge (t=7.98,5.77,17.29,8.28,9.74,7.01,7.52,6.32,6.01,5.54,all P＜0.001).Conclusions CT perfusion imaging with acetazolamide challenge test can increase the detection rate of chronic cerebral insufficiency with better clinical significance,and is worthy of promotion.

Objective To study the effect of hospital disposal manners after workplace violence in hos-pital on organizational commitment and turnover intention among the head nurses. Methods Self-made questionnaire about workplace violence in hospital and general condition, organizational commitment question-naire and turnover intention questionnaire were conducted in 122 head nurses who had suffered hospital vio-lence in recent years from all level hospitals of Fujian province. Results The scores of affective commitment and normative commitment of organizational commitment and turnover intention showed significant difference be-tween the groups who suffered positive disposal and who suffered negative interference by the hospital after the violence events (P<0.05), but aggregate score of organizational commitment and the scores of continuance commitment showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Hospital disposal manners af-ter the hospital violence and hospital grade were influence factors on turnover intention among the head nurses.Hospital grade was also an influence factor on organizational commitment among the head nurses. Conclu-sions Hospital positive disposal means after the hospital violence on head nurse help to ameliorate organiza-tional commitment and reduce turnover intention among the head nurses.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of gliomas in children,and assess the value of CT and MRI for diagnosing glioma.Methods Fifty-three children under 14 years old who were admitted into department of neurosurgery of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from Jan.2001 to Dec.2006 were diagnosed as glioma.Their age and sex distribution,clinical symptoms and signs,imaging examinations and pathological examinations were retrospectively analyzed.Results 1.There were 35 males and 18 females.2.The common symptoms and signs were headache and dizziness(32 cases,60.4%),nausea and vomiting(32 cases,60.4%),balance function disorder(31cases,58.5%),episodic convulsion(6 cases,11.3%) and fundus changes(33 cases,62.3%).3.There were 24 gliomas located at supratentorial and 29 gliomas located at infertentorial in this group.4.Thirty-three cases had a CT examination(1 case was wrongly diagnosed) and 28 cases had a MRI examination(all cases were positive);The positive rate of CT for displaying these tumors was 97%,MRI was 100%.5.Pathological examination revealed gliomas in 42 cases after operation.The most common histologically confirmed tumor type reported was astrocytoma,which accounted for 40.5%(17 cases),and the second was medulloblastoma,which accounted for 31.0%(13 cases).Conclusions 1.Glioma are more frequently affected in males than females in children.2.It often occurs in cranial posterior fossa and midline,which causes the symptoms of intracranial hypertension including headache,dizziness,nausea,vomiting,fundus changes,and so on.3.It often occurs in infertentorial,which causes the symptoms of balance function disorder,since it can invade cerebellum directly or indirectly.4.CT and MRI play an important role in the diagnosis of glioma in children.MRI is more valuable than CT in glioma diagnosis.5.Histological types of glioma in children are significantly different from adults.The most common histological types are astrocytoma and medulloblastoma.

Objective To explore the effect of application of continue performance test (CPT) in screening of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder( ADHD ). Methods Thirty-five children with ADHD and65 normal children had been applied with CPT and Conner questionnaire test. Used rank sum test to examine the outcome, established receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, analyzed the most valuable index among various data, formulated abnormal critical value, and carried on a consistency check between CPT screening outcome and clinical diagnosis outcome. Results Each CPT index of 35 children with ADHD was obviously higher than those of normal children(P＜ 0.05 ). Most indexes' area under the ROC curve exceeded 0.7, reactive time of VST was the highest among each index which achieved 0.915. It was high conformity between CPT screening outcome and clinical diagnosis outcome (Kappa = 0.935 ). Conclusion CPT can be applied in ADHD screening.

BACKGROUND: It is discovered by administrating different emetics to vomiting animals, like cats, that there are a large amount of Fos positive neuronal expressions in the arc region from nucleus of solitary tract, lateral tegmentum to ventrolateral area. And it has been viewed that the arc region from area postrema, nucleus of solitary tract to ventrolateral reticular structure is the main emetic region. Whether do the non-vomiting animals reflect in response or not after emetic injection?OBJECTIVE: To observe the distribution of Fos positive neurons in relevant emetic regions of brain and spinal cord in rats after abdominal injection of emetic, cisplatin.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment based on animals.SETTING: Neural Physiological Research Room of Life Science College in Hebei Normal University and Physiological Room of Basic Medicine Institute in Hebei Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Neural Physiological Research Room of Life Science College in Hebei Normal University and Physiological Room of Basic Medicine Institute in Hebei Medical University from March to August 2003. Twelve SD male rats were employed, body weighted varied from 220 to 250 g, of clean-grade. They were randomized into experimental group of 6 rats and the control of 6 rats.INTERVENTIONS: In experimental group, the emetic, cisplatin, was injected abdominally 10 mg/kg. In the control, the physiological saline of same dose was injected. Afterwards, the activity changes in rats were observed at room temperature, quiet and light-avoided environment. Six hours later, the brain tissue was collected for frozen continuous sectioning. Immunohistochemical staining method was used to observe the distribution of Fos positive neurons in brainstem and forebrain nuclei and to count positive cell.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Behavior observation in rats after emetic injection. ② Counts of Fos positive cell in relevant regions of brain in rats.RESULTS: Twelve rats all entered result analysis. ① In 20 minutes after injection, the rats in both groups were in tranquilizing state, lying prone with body curled, almost without any movement. In 60 minutes after injection, the rats in the control were recovered to normal, free of eating or drinking. The rats in experimental group were in prone-lying state with body curled. They rose up or shook the heads occasionally, and they breathed fast and uneven.In 2 hours after injection, in experimental group, the rats were still in abdominal prone tightly in the cage, with heads lowed and irregular shaking of noses. In 5 hours, the rats in experimental group began standing up and moving, with normal breathing, but they still did not eat or drink. ② Fos positive neurons in solitary tract, area postrema and lateral parabrachial nucleus and paraventricular nucleus, supraoptic nucleus and arc nucleus in hypothalamus (64.3 ±9.6, 83.4 ±15.0, 148.8 ±19.9, 80. 2 ± 11.8, 20.7 ±3.8, 86. 6 ± 10.8) were remarkably higher than those in the control(56. 2 ±6.3,73.5±9.9,136.9±17.8,66. 1±10.3,17.3±3.4,78.8±10.5).CONCLUSION: Emetics induce discomforts in internal organs of rats, due to which, there probably exist emetic regions similar to vomiting animals in central neural system. But it is probably lack of vomiting-related adjusting mechanism. Emetics irritate the increase of Fos positive neurons in relevant regions in the brain of rat, which suggests that there exist relevant neural chemical pathways similar to nausea in the brain of non-vomiting rats.

Newborn brain damage is the main cause of new-borns' death and disabilities.Current research difficulties lie in analyzing characteristics of cerebral injuries,making objective prognosis and early intervention,as well as analysis of therapeutic effects after recovery.Since subjects are not requested to complete complex tasks while doing resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) tests,rs-fMRI is reckoned to be suitable for neonatal brain function research.So far,most rs-fMRI reports regarding cerebral injury are for adults,with only a few have been done on neonates.Foreign research are mainly focused on new borns' brain development.If relevant rs-fMRI research can be done on newborn brain damage,it would be helpful to accurately evaluate structure and function of patients' brain tissue damage.Further research can provide more valuable information in clinics.

Objective To investigate the role of different therapeutic regimens in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)complicating Sj(o)gren syndrome (SS).Methods A total of 79 patients diagnosed as PBC complicating SS were enrolled and randomly divided into three groups:Group U (29 patients) received ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) alone,Group UP (37 patients) received UDCA and prednisolone,Group UA (13 patients) received UDCA and azathioprine.The clinical and laboratory data were collected at 0,3,6 and 12 months after treatment.Results Fatigue and pruritus were improved in each group with no difference among them(P ＞ 0.05).The levels of ALT,AST,alkaline phophatase (ALP),gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT),TBil,DBil,IgG,and IgM in the three groups were all decreased after treatment(P ＜0.05),while there were no statistical differences among the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The combination therapy of UDCA with prednisolone or azathioprine was not better than UDCA alone.The therapeutic policy of PBC complicating SS involved in the liver should settle PBC mainly.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis of refractory epilepsy (RE) in children, and to study the association of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of muhidrug-resistance gene (MDR1) C3435T with pharmaco- resistant epilepsy. Methods Four hundred children with epilepsy were retrospectively or prospectively identified from multiple sources in our hospital in Shanghai and were followed-up for the occurrence of refractory epilepsy. The clinical features of RE regarding age at onset, gender, seizure type, electroencephalogram, neuroimaging, development of central nervous system, etiology and prognosis etcetera were investigated. DNA samples were obtained from 132 patients with epilepsy (70 RE and 62 responsive epilepsy) and 62 health children by DNA extraction kit. Genotype of the C3435T polymorphism was determined by DNA sequence analysis after traditional polymerase chain reaction. The frequency of genotypes and alleles among the three groups was compared by Chi-square test. Results Eighty-three (20.8%) out of total 400 patients were RE. Among them 65 (78.3%) patients failed at least 2 drugs in six months. Forty-two (50.6%) were administered at least 3 drugs on the last follow-up. Medical treatment showed remarkable effective in 6 (7.2%) RE patients, effective in 40 RE patients (48.2%). No effectiveness was seen in another 37 (44.6%) RE patients, however 25 out of 37 presented symptomatic alleviation. Significant difference in genotype (CC, CT, Tr) frequency was neither found between RE and responsive epilepsy patients nor between RE patients and healthy controls. No association between the C3435T polymorphism in the human MDR1 gene and refractory epilepsy was found by logistic analysis. Conclusions Refractory epilepsy could be diagnosed in 6 months after being treated with anti-epilepsy drugs (AEDs) in children with average attack once per month at least and failed more than 2 AEDs. Multiple AEDs were necessary for treatment. No association between the C3435T polymorphism in the human MDR1 gene and refractory epilepsy was found by logistic analysis in this study.
