ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of phonological encoding of Chinese disyllabic compound words in patients with mild cognition impairment(MCI). Methods10 patients with MCI and 10 normal controls who matched with the age, gender, level of education and handedness performed homophone judgment task. In this task, a picture with a disyllabic compound name was presented, after 100 ms of the presentation there would be a Chinese character below the picture. Subjects were asked to judge whether one of the morpheme in the picture name was homophonic to the character. The reaction time and error ratio were analyzed statistically. ResultsIn the normal controls, the reaction time for the second constituents was shorter than that for the first constituents, while there were no difference between the first and second constituents reaction time in MCI patients. The error ratio of the first and second constituents showed no difference in normal controls, but MCI patients made more error rate for the first constituents. ConclusionAs the heathy elderly,the MCI patients have same pattern in phonological coding of Chinese disyllabic compound words, but much slower in activation speed, indicating the impairment of semantic memory and phonological activation in patients with MCI.

Objective To study the effect of dampness-eliminating and spleen-strengthening Prescription (ESP) on expression levels of adiponectin (APN) , tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) , and hepatic fat content in type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM) patients complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD) . Methods One hundred and twenty T2DM patients complicated with NAFLD were randomized into ESP group and pioglitazone group, 60 cases in each group. Based on the fundamental treatment for decreasing glucose, ESP group and pioglitazone group were given oral use of ESP and pioglitazone respectively. Twenty-four weeks constituted one treatment course. Before and after treatment, we observed the hepatic fat content, serum concentrations of APN and TNF-α, blood glucose, blood lipid, and hepatic function with the virtual touch tissue quantification technique ( VTQ) , enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) , biochemical analysator respeetively in the two groups. Results After treatment, the levels of fasting plasma glucose ( FPG) , 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose ( 2hPG) , glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbA1c) fasting insulin ( FINS) , total cholesterol ( TC) , triglyceride ( TG) , low density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C) and TNF-α, and hepatic acoustic radiation force impulse ( ARFI) scores in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05) . On the other hand, the serum levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and APN in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment ( P<0.05) . The difference values of FINS and NF-α before and after treatneat in ESP group were higher than those in pioglitazone group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion ESP can significantly ameliorate the metabolic disorders of glucose and lipid , protect the pancreatic function and reduce hepatic fat, which is possibly related with the increase of APN level and the de-crease TNF-αlevel.

Objective To understand the impact of Qionghai Lake wetland ecological protection construction on the preva?lence of schistosomiasis,so as to provide the evidence for formulating the strategies for schistosomiasis control and prevention. Methods A retrospective survey of the construction of Qionghai Lake wetland was performed,and eleven villages around the wetland were surveyed for schistosomiasis endemic situation. The influence of the wetland project on the schistosomiasis preva?lence and Oncomelania hupensis snail status were investigated. Results Before the construction of Qionghai Lake wetland,the snail elimination and extended chemotherapy for residents was performed. After the project was finished,the roads and ditches were hardened. From 2009 to 2014,the schistosome infection rate of residents declined from 0.37% to 0. No schistosome infect?ed snails were found and in recent 2 years,no snails were found. No mice were infected in the sentinel tests. Conclusions The construction of Qionghai Lake wetland effectively eliminates snails,and interrupts the transmission of schistosomiasis. Howev?er,the environment of the wetland is more suitable for snail breeding,and therefore,the surveillance still should be strength?ened.
