BACKGROUND: Reading disorder is the main obstacle in children, but its etiology and pathogenesis are still uncovered.OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between brain blood flow (BBF)and scores for children reading skill detecting test (CRSDT), in order to provide theoretical references for earlier intervention and functional monitoring for children with reading disorder(RD).DESIGN: Comparative observation study with RD children as subjects and normal children as controlSETTING: Nuclear medicine and psychological-health institute of a university.PARTICIPANTS: This study was carried out in Nuclear Medicine and Psychological-health Institute of Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. Between August 1998 and August 1999, 25 children with RD were screened out from the students from grade 3 to grade 6 in two Changsha civic elementary schools, including 15 males and 10 females aged(10±1)teacher lasted for more than one year and began from the earlier stage of school age(before grade three), with their achievement ranked last or often failed in examinations, even stay in the same grade due to learning disorder;and teacher or investigation of their homework accorded to the ICD-10 didiseases. Meanwhile 20 healthy children with normal intelligence were randomly selected as control group from the same class of RD children,including 12 males and 8 females with age of (10 ± 1 )years.METHODS: Non blood sampling-SPECT images was used for detecting cerebral blood flow(CBF), as well as right and left CBF and regional CBF (rCBF) of both RD children and normal controls. Rough scores for CRSDT were obtained for analyzing the relationship between it and CBF.group .RESULTS: CBF was(388.7 ± 37.7) μL/g per minute in RD group obviously lower than(436.5 ± 26.4) μL/g per minute in control gruop( t = 2. 820, P ＜ 0.01 ) ;The distribution frequency of regions with obviously decreased rCBF ranked as follows: frontal lobe, occipital lobe ＞ parietal-occipital boundary ＞ temporal lobe ＞ parietal lobe ＞ thalamus ＞ other regions(cerebellum,brain stem and basal ganglion) in RD children; moreover rough scores for reading skill was found positively correlated with CBF in RD group( r = 0.651,P ＜0.05).CONCLUSION: CBF was proved decreased in children with RD, and CBF obtained by SPECT image and CRSDT can be used for reflecting the severity of disease and brain function, expecting to improve their long-term life quality of RD children by earlier intervention.

Objective:To study the antibacterial properties and in vivo and vitro biocompatibility of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings, and to evaluate their wound healing promoting effect through clinical application.Methods:We evaluated the comprehensive antibacterial performance of dressings in vitro using plate counting method; After co culturing the extract of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings with epidermal cells (HaCaT) and fibroblasts (NIH-3T3), their in-vitro biocompatibility was determined through the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) test; Further, Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing was applied to the wound surface of diabetes mice to test the biocompatibility of the material in vivo; Through a prospective randomized controlled trial, 50 burn and trauma patients admitted to the Burn and Plastic Surgery Department of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were selected and divided into an observation group of 25 patients and a control group of 25 patients. The observation group was treated with Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing, and the control group was treated with silver nanoparticle antibacterial dressing. The wound healing time and wound treatment effect of the two groups were compared.Results:The Cu 2+ release concentration of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings detected by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was 1.3 μ g/ml, which had the effect of promoting the proliferation of HaCaT and NIH-3T3 cells (all P<0.05). The antibacterial rate of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing against pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus reached 100%. The wound healing rate [(87.39±1.83)%] of diabetes mice treated with Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing was significantly higher than that of the control group [(58.66±3.54)%, P<0.05]. The inflammatory response of the wound tissue was relatively mild and the wound margin matrix was intact. The wound healing time of 25 patients treated with Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing [(23.52±10.02)d] was shorter than that of the control group [(40.84±21.22)d] ( t=17.159, P<0.001), and the overall treatment response rate of patients (96%) was significantly higher than that of the control group patients (64%) (χ 2=8.472, P=0.015). Conclusions:Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings have good antibacterial properties and biocompatibility, and have significant therapeutic effects on promoting wound healing. They not only effectively promote wound healing but also exert anti infection effects, and are expected to be a new type of wound repair dressing.
