Objective This study aims to study the characteristics of intonation pronunciation in preschool children with hearing impairments .Methods A total of 30 of 4~5 years old children with hearing impairment and 30 of 4~5 years old children with normal hearing were enrolled in this study .With statement intonation and ques-tion intonation as test material ,the compartment between the children in two groups were obtained .Results Pre-school children were generally increased the ending point and slope to distinguish statement intonation .There were still differences between hearing -impaired children and normal children .Under statement intonation condition :the children with hearing impairments showed a significantly lower level of the slope of the high and level boundary tone than the normal children ,the starting point and the ending point of the falling boundary tone in hearing -impaired children were significantly lower than those of in normal children ;Meanwhile ,under question intonation condition :com-pared with normal children ,the slope of the high and level boundary tone ,the rising boundary tone and the falling -rising boundary tone in hearing -impaired children were significantly lower .The starting point ,the ending point ,the high and level boundary tone ,and the falling boundary tone in hearing -impaired children were significantly lower .Conclusion To implement targeted therapy during question intonation training for hearing -impaired children ,the acoustics characteristics of boundary tone are required to assess and monitor the effectiveness of rehabilitation .

Objective To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on sedative efficacy during induction of anesthesia with propofol.Methods Patients,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 21-69 yr,scheduled for elective thyroid surgery,were randomly divided into 2 groups using a random number table:control group (group C) and TEAS group.TEAS was applied to bilateral Hegu and Neiguan acupoints for 30 min.The frequency was 2/100 Hz,wave length was 0.2-0.6 ms and the intensity was maintained at about 8-12 mA according to the current that could be tolerated.Induction of anesthesia was started at the end of TEAS.Sequential method was used to determine the median effective target plasma concentration (EC50) of propofol causing loss of consciousness in each group.The initial target plasma concentration of propofol was 3 μg/ml.BIS value was recorded every 30 s within 5-8 min after loss of consciousness and the average BIS value was calculated.It was considered to be positive response when the average BIS value was below 50.The target concentration of propofol was decreased/increased by 0.3 μg/ml in the next patient.Results EC50 of propofol causing loss of consciousness was 3.08 μg/ml in group TEAS,and 3.70 μg/ml in group C,and there was significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion TEAS can enhance the sedative efficacy during induction of anesthesia with propofol in the patients.

BACKGROUND:Occlusal scheme is the key of a successful complete denture, and how to choose a suitable occlusal scheme is a long-term problem for prosthodontists.
OBJECTIVE:To systematical y review the clinical effects of two occlusal schemes for complete denture.
METHODS:An electronic search of Cochrane Library, Medline/PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, Wanfang and CBM databases were performed for clinical trials published before October 2013 using the key words of“complete denture”,“edentulous”,“occlusion”,”balanced”,“lingualized”,“anatomic”in Chinese and English. A manual searching of 11 relevant journals concerning oral medicine and reference lists of selected articles were conducted. Two reviewers independently extracted the data and assessed the quality of the included literature. Total y, 628 papers were retrieved.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Only five articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of these five articles, one study showed lingualized occlusion dentures were more satisfactory than bilateral balanced occlusion dentures in denture retention (P<0.05);one study showed the lingualized occlusion exhibited lower scores for uncomfortable eating and avoiding particular foods (P<0.05), but higher scores for uncomfortable dentures than the bilateral balanced occlusion (P<0.05);one study showed the lingualized occlusion dentures have better masticatory efficiency and better protective role in alveolar bone than the bilateral balanced occlusion dentures (P<0.05);another two studies showed no significant differences in the overal satisfaction between lingualized occlusion and bilateral balanced occlusion dentures. These findings indicate that the lingualized occlusion is similar to bilateral balanced occlusion in the satisfaction of patients, masticatory efficiency, appearance and speech, but the lingualized occlusion dentures are better for severe alveolar bone resorption patients in terms of masticatory efficiency and better protection of alveolar bone.

AIM: To observe the effect of intraocular lens ( IOL) implantation on visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in patients with cataract.
METHODS: Fifty - eight cases ( 72 eyes ) cataract patients with regular cornel astigmatism, in our hospital from May 2014 to May 2015 were randomly divided into two groups to undergo phacoemulsification and IOL implantation: the observation group: 29 cases (36 eyes) received multifocal toric IOL implantation; the control group: 29 cases (36 eyes) received monofocal toric IOL implantation. Uncorrected distance visual acuity ( UCDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity ( UCNVA), best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), the best corrected near visual acuity ( BCNVA ), total eye astigmatism, and the dark contrast sensitivity were observed for these patients at 1 and 6mo after cataract surgery.
RESULTS: There were no statistical significant difference between the two groups at postoperative 1, 6mo on UCDVA, BCNVA, BCDVA and total eye astigmatism(P>0. 05). UCNVA of observation group at 1 and 6mo were better than those of control group ( P <0. 05); there were statistically significant difference in high frequency comparison at the sixth postoperative months (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Both monofocal toric IOL implantation, and aspheric multifocal toric IOL implantation for cataract with regular corneal astigmatism are effective to improve visual acuity. But the latter treatment would contribute to the improvement of uncorrected near visual acuity and the dark contrast sensitivity.

As an important component of the event related potential (ERP), late positive potential (LPP) is an ideal component for studying emotion regulation. This study was focused on processing and analysing the LPP component of the emotional cognitive reappraisal electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. Firstly, we used independent component analysis (ICA) algorithm to remove electrooculogram, electromyogram and some other artifacts based on 16 subjects' EEG data by using EGI 64-channal EEG acquisition system. Secondly, we processed feature extraction of the EEG signal at Pz electrode by using one versus the rest common spatial patterns (OVR-CSP) algorithm. Finally, the extracted LPP component was analysed both in time domain and spatial domain. The results indicated that (1) From the perspective of amplitude comparison, the LPP amplitude, which was induced by cognitive reappraisal, was much higher than the amplitude under the condition of watching neural stimuli, but lower than the amplitude under condition of watching negative stimuli; (2) from the perspective of time process, the difference between cognitive reappraisal and watching after processing with OVR-CSP algorithm was in the process of range between 0.3 s and 1.5 s; but the difference between cognitive reappraisal and watching after processing with averaging method was during the process between 0.3 s and 1.25 s. The results suggested that OVR-CSP algorithm could not only accurately extract the LPP component with fewer trials compared with averaging method so that it provided a better method for the follow-up study of cognitive reappraisal strategy, but also provide neurophysiological basis for cognitive reappraisal in emotional regulation.

A novel biosensor for aflatoxin B1 detecting has been reported. The biosensor electrode for AFB1 detecting was assembled by immobilized aflatoxin-oxidoreductase using open-ended multi-walled carbon nanotubes as matrix. Its linear range was between 0.16?M and 3.2?M. And if the specific anti-aflatoxin B1 antibody and aflatoxin oxidoreductase were both immobilized on the electrode with Multi-Walled carbon nanotubes, the detection limit of the modified electrode could be 16 nM with a 10 times improved sensitivity. The aflatoxin enzyme biosensor assembled this way strode one step forward its practical application.
