Objective:To investigate the effects of stimulant medications on the EEG of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) by measuring the changes of the alpha competitive structure after administration of single dose of methylphenidate,and to explore the neuropathological mechanism of ADHD.Methods:The study involved 110 ADHD children who met the DSM-Ⅳ diagnostic criteria of ADHD and 110 normal children matched by age and sex.Their continuous EEG data were collected before and 2 hours after taking methylphenidate(10 mg) and were analyzed with EEG-encephaloflutuographic technology(EEG-ET).Results:(1)After taking methylphenidate,the main frequency of alpha band obviously increased [(8.97?0.94) Hz vs.(9.40?0.99) Hz,P0.05].Conclusion:Single dose methylphenidate can ameliorate the brain self-organization in ADHD children and improve the lower efficient state,and produce changes in the EEG towards normalization.

Objective: To study the mechanism of safflower injection(红花注射液) on preventing thrombosis after arteriovenous fistula operation in rabbits.Method: Twenty-four rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: safflower injection group,heparin group and control group(each n=8).Rabbit femoral arteryvein side-to-side anastomosis models were performed on both sides of the lower extremities and they were coincided.Safflower injection(5 mg/kg) or heparin injection(6 U/kg) was given from ear edge vein immediately after operation in the respective group,while normal saline(0.9%) was given with the same fashion in the control group,once per day for 14 days.On the 1 st,3 rd,7 th and 15 th day after operation,the nitric oxide(NO) in serum and endothelin(ET) in plasma were determined respectively.Results: The plasma ET contents were significantly lowered in safflower and heparin groups compared with that of control group(both P

Objective To analyze the risk factors related to obesity of preschool children. Methods The physical activity and eating behavior of 120 obese children aged 1～6 years were investigated with questionnaire by case control 1:1 matched. Results Obesity group spent significantly longer time to watch TV than control group, but the time for physical activity, feeding pattern during the first 4 months, the time of initial supplementary foods and the sleeping duration were not different between both groups. Conditioned logistic regression of multi-variables showed that good appetite, fast eating, overeating of carbohydrate and meat , and snacks before breakfast were the risk factors of child obesity. Conclusion The bad eating behaviors and the lack of physical activity were related to obesity in preschool children.

FLIP is a protein containing death domain.Human beings have three subtypes of c-FLIPL,c-FLIPs and c-FLIPR,which can inhibit the apoptosis of a variety of tumor cells.c-FLIPL plays a dual role in the apoptotic signal.The expression level of FLIP not only decides the opening and closing of the apoptosis pathway but also achieve the conversion of cells in the apeptotic signaling and proliferative signaling pathway.The regulation of FLIP's expression is a multi-layered,involving multiple signaling pathways.FLIP will probably become an attractive death receptor signaling target of therapy.

BACKGROUND: The conical telescopic crown denture has a better long-term effect on dentition defects of few remaining teeth than the traditional removable denture. However, there are few studies to analyze the application of these two kinds of repair methods using the finite element method. OBJECTIVE: To compare the stress distribution of the isolated abutment tooth repaired using the conical telescopic crown denture and traditional removable denture. METHODS: Two-dimensional images of the mandible and dentition in healthy adults were scanned by CT. Three-dimensional finite element models of conical telescopic crown denture and traditional removable denture were established in the mandible only with the bilateral canines. Under the same vertical and oblique loadings, the maximum equivalent stress of the abutment, periodontal membrane or edentulous alveolar ridge was compared between two repair methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Under the vertical and oblique loadings, the total stress of abutment and periodontal membrane in the traditional removable denture was higher than that in the conical telescopic crown denture and the stress in the corresponding ring was concentrated obviously; the total stress of edentulous alveolar ridge in the conical telescopic crown denture was slightly larger than that in the traditional removable denture, but the stress was wel -distributed and concentrated in a smal area. Under the oblique loading, the total stress of abutment, periodontal membrane and edentulous alveolar ridge was higher than that under the vertical loading in these two dentures, and the stress was concentrated in the periodontal membrane of lingual neck, but the total stress in the traditional removable denture was larger, with a wider concentration range. These findings indicate that the stress on the supporting tissue of conical telescopic crown denture is more evenly distributed within a smal er range than that of traditional removable denture, and the former is more fit for the health of abutment, periodontal tissues and edentulous alveolar ridge.

BACKGROUND: Hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate biphasic ceramic bone has good cel compatibility, but its mechanical properties are poor. OBJECTIVE: To construct chitosan/ or calcium alginate/biphasic ceramic bone scaffolds and to detect their mechanical properties and cytocompatibility. METHODS: Different concentrations of chitosan (2%, 4%, 7%, 10%) or calcium alginate (3%, 4%, 5%, 7%) were mixed with biphasic ceramic bone to prepare chitosan/biphasic ceramic bone scaffold and calcium alginate/biphasic ceramic bone scaffold. Their morphology and structure, coagulation time, anti-dissolution properties, shear force, compressive strength and cel compatibility were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Coagulation time: with the concentration increase, the initial and final setting time of these two kinds of composite scaffolds were prolonged to some extent. (2) Scanning electron microscopy: these two kinds of composite scaffolds showed porous microstructures with different pore sizes. (3) Anti-dissolution properties: the calcium alginate/biphasic ceramic bone scaffold (3%, 4%, 5%, 7%) and chitosan/biphasic ceramic bone scaffold (7%, 10%) had good anti-dissolution properties in the liquid. (4) Mechanical strength: with the concentration increase, the shear force and compressive strength of the calcium alginate/biphasic ceramic bone scaffold were reduced. (5) Cel compatibility: the cytotoxicity of chitosan/ or calcium alginate/biphasic ceramic bone scaffolds was graded as 0-1 or 2-3, respectively. These results show that the chitosan/biphasic ceramic bone scaffold has better mechanical properties and cel compatibility than the calcium alginate/biphasic ceramic bone scaffold.

Objective:To investigate methylphenidate response to different subtypes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) boys by measuring the changes of the alpha competitive structure after administration of single dose of methylphenidate,explore the neuropathological mechanism and search for the sensitive index to predict methylphenidate response in this disorder.Methods:The study involved 88 ADHD boys(40 ADHD-C boys,48 ADHD-I boys) who met the DSM-Ⅳ diagnostic criteria of ADHD,and their continuous Electroencephalogram(EEG) data collected before and 2 hours after taking methylphenidate(10 mg) were analyzed with EEG-encephaloflutuographic technology(EEG-ET).Results:After taking methylphenidate,(1) The main frequency of alpha band obviously increased in ADHD-C boys and ADHD-I boys(from 9.05?0.96 Hz up to 9.72?0.99 Hz,P=0.000;from 8.90?0.93 Hz up to 9.25?0.86 Hz,P=0.002;separately),especially in ADHD-C boy group(Z=-2.111,P=0.035).(2) The dominant probability of 8 Hz was significantly decreased in ADHD-C boys and ADHD-I boys(from 24.34%?12.70% down to 20.74%?12.46%,P=0.002;from 28.82%?12.51% down to 25.64%?12.176%,P=0.003;separately).There was no significant difference in the changes of the dominant probability of 8 Hz between the two ADHD groups(Z=-0.494,P= 0.621).(3)The entropy value was significantly decreased in ADHD-I boys group(from 0.74?0.10 down to 0.70?0.13,t =3.579,P=0.001).There was no significant difference in the changes of the entropy value between the two ADHD groups(Z=-1.131 P= 0.258).Conclusion:After administra-tion of single dose of methylphenidate,slow ? wave decreased in ADHD boys,especially in ADHD-Cboy group;Single dose of methylphenidate can ameliorate the brain self-organization of ADHD-I boys.These findings suggest that the main frequency of alpha band may be the sensitive index to predict methylphenidate response in ADHD.
