The combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalogram (TMS-EEG) is an effective means for understanding the network of brain functions.The development of TMS-EEG,however,has been hampered by strong TMS-induced artifacts in the electrode leads.This article first introduces the TMS technology and expounds the causes of TMS-induced artifacts.According to the source of the artifact,the study reviews the artifact removing methods reported in the recent ten years regarding TMS discharge,muscle artifacts and auditory artifacts and residual artifacts.Perspectives of the related techniques are introduced at the end of the article.It is expectable that there will be a great breakthrough not only on the TMS theory but also in clinical research due to the attractive prospect in application and high research value of TMS.TMS-induced artifacts will be well solved at that time.

Fifty eight patients with amyloidosis diagnosed by biopsy were admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 1983 to September 2007 and their clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.Twenty of the 58 cases were systemic amyloidosis,and other 38 were local amyloidosis.In 20 cased of systemic amyloidosis,kidney was involved in 75% cases,liver was in 55%,nervous system Was in 55%and heart Was in 50%.The lesion of local amyloidosis was usually limited in one single organ.

Objective To study the effect of the cord blood stem cell transplantation therapy in patients with severe hepatitis. Methods Forty patients with severe hepatitis were randomly divided into control groups (n=20) and observed group (n=20). The patients in two groups were treated with the conventional liver protective therapy respectively, such as compound glycyrrhizin and glutathione. The patients in observed groups were performed with the cord blood stem cell trans-plantation therapy. After isolation and purification, the cells were transplanted into the liver via hepatic artery and then were transplanted via peripheral veins. The biochemical indices of albumin (ALB), prothrombin activity (PTA),alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)and clinical symptoms were detected at different times after therapy. Results After 4-week therapy, the levels of PTA (%)and AFP(μg/L)were significantly increased in observed group compared with those of control group (53.56 ± 5.15 vs 48.26±5.53,92.16±9.09 vs 43.57±11.33,P＜0.01). After 8-week therapy, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBIL) and AFP were significantly decreased in observed group than those of control group. The level of PTA was sig-nificantly higher in observed group than that of control group (62.61±4.35 vs 54.95±3.01,P＜0.05 or P＜0.01). There were no significant differences in levels of ALB and blood ammonia between two groups (P>0.05). There were no serious complications and adverse reactions in two groups of patients. There was no significant difference in mortality between two groups ( 20%vs 35%,χ2=0.818,P>0.05). Conclusion Cord blood stem cell therapy has a good effect on treating severe hepatitis, which is safe and no significant adverse reactions, and can be used as a new method for treating the severe hepatitis.

Objective To evaluate clinical application of spiral CT portal vein (SCTP).Methods 110 patients with different hepatic diseases underwent SCT enhanced scan. The portal vain 3D images of different hepatic diseases were obtained with maximum intensity projection(MIP). Results SCTP could directly demonstrate the location and width of the portal and hepatic veins, detect the invasion and tumor thrombosis of portal vein.The degree of variation of portal vein was correlated to the grade of hepatic function. Conclusion SCTP has better clinical value. It can content requirement of clinic diagnosis.

Objective To explore the psychological status of the patients with breast cancer and its influencing factors.Methods The psychological health status in 896 patients with breast cancer and 1 419 patients with benign breast diseases were surveyed and analyzed by adopting the Self-reporting Inventory(SCL-90).At the same time,SCL-90 was also used to analyze the differences of psychological health status among breast cancer patients with different occupations,degrees of education and family support attitudes.Results The each factor scores in breast cancer patients were higher than those in benign breast disease patients(P＜0.05).The scores of obsessive symptoms and somatization factor in breast cancer patients were higher than those of other factors(P＜0.05).In breast cancer patients,the proportion of workers and cadres with obsessive symptoms was higher than that of farmers.The family support attitude was good,and the proportion of obsessive symptoms was lower.The higher the education level,the lower the proportion of somatic symptoms.Conclusion Aiming at the existence of mental problems of higher somatization and obsessive symptoms,conducting the psychological counseling and intervention can improve the quality of life in the patients with breast cancer.

Objective By analyzing the epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in Shanxi Province,to provide a scientific basis in formulation of strategies for effective prevention and control of the disease.Method Surveillance data of human brucellosis from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention between 2004 and 2013 were statistically analyzed by descriptive epidemiological method.The regional,time,age and sex,occupational distribution of brucellosis were analyzed.The prevalence trend of brucellosis in Shanxi Province was summarized.Results From 2004 to 2013,the total incidence presented a rising tendency and the highest reported incidence was 19.10/10 million in 2013.A total of 43 061 cases of brucellosis occurred in Shanxi Province.The average incidence of brucellosis was 12.52/10 million.Regional distribution range was relatively focused on the north areas of Shanxi Province,the number of reported cases of Datong City was the largest (12 157 cases),being 28.23％.The incidence of Shuozhou City was the highest (42.97/10 million).The epidemic was spreading through all county areas.The disease was found each month throughout the year,the obvious incidence peak seasons were between March and June.The disease was most commonly found in 15-64 age groups(87.19％,37 545/43 061).Occupation distribution of patients was mainly farmers (83.34％,35 887/43 061).Conclusions The situation of brucellosis epidemic in Shanxi Province is relatively serious;the reported incidence of brucellosis in Shanxi Province is in a rapid upward trend year by year,even highly active in some particular areas.Different regions should establish regional mechanisms for joint prevention and control and implement different prevention and control measures to comprehensively and sequentially control brucellosis.

0.05).Conclusion:Different polishing and glazing methods have significant effects on the surface roughness of ceramics,while the surface gloss of ceramics is not affected.

Objective To study the changes in activity of NADPH oxidase, the effects of signal molecules on membrane potential and ROS production of mitochondria in apoptotic murine peritoneal macrophages. Methods Laser scanning confocal microscopy, flow cytometry and fluorescence labeling were used. Results 1 The macrophages treated with dexamethasone developed apoptosis quickly and presented concomitant apoptotic changes. 2 Mitochondria membrane depolarized quickly, the activity of NADPH oxidase declined sharply, and ROS production decreased rapidly. The erasers of ROS promoted macrophage apoptosis. 3 PKC favored, and cAMP inhibited the macrophage apoptosis and the rapid drop in ROS and mitochondrial membrane depolarization. cGMP and TPK which slightly inhibited macrophage apoptosis, had no effects on ROS. Conclusion 1 The activity of NADPH oxidase declined sharply, hence the ROS decreased rapidly, which promoted apoptosis in macrophages treated with dexamethasone. 2 The signal molecules affected apoptosis by modulating ROS decline and mitochondria depolarization. The results suggested that, mitochondria variations, especially the variations of ROS and membrane potential, mainly affected macrophage apoptosis.;
