ve To study the growth curve of Alexandrium tamarense and the toxicity of paralytic shelfish poisoning(PSP) selected in different growth phases, as well as to quantitatively analyze the toxins and compare the different efficiency of breaking cell wall and their virtues and defects between freezing-thawing method and supersonic method, and to provide theoretical basis for the selection of the methods for extraction of PSP. Methods Cells were collected by suction filter, cell wall was broken by freezing-thawing method and supersonic method, the toxicities of Alexandrium tamarense among different growth phases were detected and compared. Results The growth of Alexandrium tamarense typically showed three phases which included a lag phase(0~9 days), an exponential growth phase(10~18 days), and a stationary phase(19~22 days) . The maximum toxicity of cells in the stationary phase appeared, especially in day 21 when the population of cells reached to 9.43?10-6 MU/cell, although the cells in the exponential phase grew fastest. Toxicity of the cells in the lag phase broken by freezing-thawing method was more stronger than that by supersonic method, that meant the toxicity of cells was lowered after the supersonic treatment. In additional, the filtering method for collecting cells presented a lower recovery rate of average 69.0% . Conclusion As for the comparing of freezing-thawing method and supersonic method, it was found that, when cells were in the same phase, the supersonic method had remarkable advantages, but it also had the disadvantage of lowering the tox-icity of cells. When in the same condition of growth and method of fragmentation, cells in the lag phase were broken most easily, and cells in the stationary phase were more difficult to be broken than those in the other two phases. Toxicity of cells was larger and larger with the time of incubation. The toxicity of cells in the lag phase had reached a higher intensity, although toxicities of cells in the next two phases would increase a little.

Objective To investigate the incidence of the pusher syndrome in stroke patients, and the relationship between the syndrome and the neuropsychological symptoms and location of brain lesion, and to investigate the mechanism and the physiotherapy intervention of pusher syndrome. Methods Thirty nine patients(25 male, 14 female, 62.5?9.4 years old) with pusher syndrome were examined, 91 patients(57 male,34 female, 58.4?11.6 years old) without ipsilateral pushing served as control. The lesion areas, neuropsychological syndrome and the Barthel Index(BI) were recorded, and the physiotherapy were administered in the patients. Results The incidence of pusher syndrome was 30% in the patients studied, corresponding to 17% of the total number of stroke patients in the study period. The percentage of pusher syndrome occurrence was higher in the patients with right side lesion than those with left side lesion ( P

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of the Standardized Bedside Swallowing Assessment (SSA)and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines(SIC)for bedside dysphagia screening of patients after acute cerebral infarction(ACI). Methods Eighty-six ACI patients within 24 h of stroke onset were enrolled in the study.Within 48 h after hospitalization,swallowing function assessments and dysphagia screenings were carried out with the SSA and SIG,as well as video fluroseopic swallowing studies(VFSSs).The SSA and SIG assessments generated sensitivities,specificities,positive predict values(PPVs),negative predict values(NPVs),positive likelihood ratios (PLRs)and negative likelihood ratios(NLRs).These were compared with the VFSS results. Results The SSA showed a sensitivity of 89.1%,specificity of 75%,PPV of 0.804,NPV of 0.833,PLR of 3.56,NLR of 0.15,and Kappa of 0.648 compared to the VFSS results.The SIG showed a sensitivity of 60.9%,specificity of 82.5%,PPV of 0.800,NPV of 0.647,PLR of 3.44,NLR of 0.47 and Kappa of 0.425 compared to the VFSS.The sensitivity of of the SIG.Both assessments correlated well with the VFSS results. Conclusions Both the SSA and the SIG are elfective in dysphagia screening.The SSA is more sensitive than the SIG and is more suitable for early screening.The SIG is helpful in guiding dysphagia management and evaluating curative effects.

Objective To observe liver functional lesion caused by combination chemotherapy containing or not containing oxaliplatin. Methods Data from 42 patients with liver functional lesion caused by chemotherapy between March 2005 and October 2007 were analyzed. All patients were diagnosed through histology or cytology detection and received chemotherapy only. Different drugs were. admitted,based on different tumors. Before chemotherapy, each patient had normal liver function without liver lesions such as liver metastasis, Hepatitis B and C, hepatic cirrhosis, etc. Furthermore, 22 received FOLFOX-4 in containing oxaliplatin group while the remaining 20 received chemotherapy excluding oxaliplatin. When liver functional lesion without the influence of any liver protectant was first observed, ALT, AST, TBIL, DBIL, IBIL, ALP, GGT and the WHO criteria of liver toxicity were analyzed. T test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used for data analysis. Results All together 90 cycles, median 2.14 cycles, were given. According to WHO criteria of liver toxicity, 13 cases were in grade O, 21 in grade Ⅰ, 7 in grade Ⅱ, and 1 in grade Ⅲ. ALT and AST were significantly high after chemotherapy(P <0.05). Moreover, ALT and AST were significantly higher in containing oxaliplatin group than non oxaliplatin group after chemotherapy(P <0.05). Chemotherapy had no influence on bilirubin. The population distribution of accumulative chemotherapy cycles and WHO criteria of liver toxicity was similar between two groups. Conclusion Before the intervention of liver protectant, combination chemotherapy containing oxaliplatin is more likely to have liver functional lesion than other chemotherapy without oxaliplatin. It mainly presents an increase in transaminase.
