Objective To explore the decision-making process in different types of behavioral activation (BAS) individuals.Methods According to the behavioral inhibition/activation system scales of China,27 low BAS,32 moderate BAS and 26 high BAS individuals were enrolled.Three different kinds of decision tasks (low-risk,high-risk and ambiguity) were programmed with E-Prime,at the same time recorded the scores of earnings,preference selection,decision-making strategy.Results Under low-risk decision,there was significant differences among low,moderate and high BAS groups (low BAS group(54.00±8.15),moderate BAS group(32.63±8.94),high BAS group(27.69±12.12),F=2.240,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the three groups on preference selection (F=0.759-2.926,P＞ 0.05).Under low-risk decision,there were significant differences on stay strategy (low BAS＞moderate BAS,high BAS group,F=3.107,P＜0.05) and shift strategy(moderate BAS,high BAS＞low BAS group,F=2.309,P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference on quit strategy in the three groups (F=0.629-1.635,P＞0.05).Conclusion Under the low-risk decision-making,low BAS individuals are easier to get more earnings.Moderate and high BAS individuals are easier to change the decision-making strategy than low BAS individuals.

Vertebral artery hypoplasia is a frequent variation type of vertebral arteries.At present,there is no unified theory about the relationship between vertebral artery hypoplasia and posterior circulation ischemic stroke.The available evidence suggests that vertebral artery hypoplasia may be a precipitating factor for posterior circulation ischemic stroke; particularly other vascular risk factors coexist.This article elaborates the epidemiology of vertebral artery hypoplasia,the clinical manifestation and imaging features of vertebral artery hypoplasia in patients with posterior circulation ischemic stroke,and the possible mechanism of vertebral artery hypoplasia caused posterior circulation ischemic stroke.

The results of analyzing the managerial characteristics and complexity of product cooperative development suggest that task planning is an important aspect for process management of product cooperative development and the method for planning tasks should be able to model the dependency between tasks and iterations during the development process. In this paper, a DSM-based method and its corresponding optimization algorithms are developed. At first the coupled task sets and uncoupled task setsare identified, and the tasks are then optimized by the corresponding algorithms. The optimal tasks plan will reduce the development time and cost. Considering the practical requirements in real world, a Multilayer DSM is proposed, and its information communication techniques between DSM and traversing principle are described in details.

Aim In order to observe the pathological features and the dynamic distribution of RH strain T. gondii in main organs of infected mice, using indirect immunoenzymatic technique. To provide pathological diagonsising reference of toxoplasmosis and increase to understand the pathologensis of Toxoplasmosis. Methods Mice were infected intraperitoneally with 103 tachyzoites of T. gondii RH strain,and the parasites were detected using indirect immunoenzymatic technique in the liver, spleen, lungs and brain at 2,4,6 and 8 days postinfection. Results The liver was the first organ parasitized at D2, followed by spleen and lungs at D4, the brain at D8. At the early phase of infection, parasites were found on the edge of the liver and spleen. A few parasites were detected within the liver, spleen and lungs with time being. But parasites increased progressively and distributed well during the whole phase. The brain was the last organ to be parasitized. Parasites multiplicated rapidly so that the mice were seriously ill and died. Conclusions The indirect immunoenzymatic technique can demonstrate tachyzoites and Toaxoplasma antigen clearly in infected mice during acute stage. Many organs were infected such as liver, spleen,lungs and brain. The results suggest that the organs in the peritoneal cavity were infected directly by tachyzoites as IP infection, then the parasites disseminate through a blood way, and in the end, tachyzoites cross the blood-brain barries to reach the brain.

Objective To summarize the sonographic features of fetal limb deformity. Methods Systematic continuous sequence approach (SCSA) was performed with two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasonography(USG) in 28 383 fetuses to observe the fetal limb development, posture abnormality and other accompanied malformations. Compared with the pathological and radiological findings, the characteristics of fetal limb deformity on USG were summarized. Results Among 28 383 fetuses prenatal ultrasound detected 207 cases of fetal malformations (0.7%, 207/28 383) including 29 cases of limb deformities (14%, 29/207). In the 29 cases, there were osteogenesis imperfecta in 2 cases, syndactyly in 1 case, cleft hand deformities in 1 case, uncifom hand in 1 case, clubfoot deformity in 12 cases, cleft foot in 1 case, micromelia in 4 cases, limb body wall complex in 1 case, forearm defect in 2 cases, and radius absence in 4 cases. Chromosome karyotype analysis was conducted in 7/29 cases, of which 6 cases were normal and 1 case was trisomy-13 with syndactyly. In addition, the fetal limb deformities were found at 17-19 weeks of gestation in 4 cases, at 20-24 weeks in 23 cases, and at 25-33 weeks in 2 cases. In summary, 27/29 cases were identiifed at 17-24 weeks of gestation. Conclusions Prenatal ultrasound is the ifrst-choice method for screening of fetal limb deformity. The detection rate of limb deformity could be greatly improved by using SCSA method with the supplement of 3D ultrasound.

Objective: To compare the blood lfow of left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft vessel between minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) and traditional median sternotomyin off-pump coronary artery bypass (Traditional OPCAB) by transit-time lfow meter (TTFM). Methods: We retrospectively studied 300 patients who received OPCAB in our hospital from 2013-01 to 2015-07, all patients had LIMA to left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) anastomosis. The patients were divided into 2 groups: MIDCAB group, n=70 and Traditional OPCAB group,n=230. Intra-operative blood lfow in graft vessel was measured by transit-time lfow meter. Pre- and post-operative indexes and the mean lfow (MF), pulsatile index (PI), diastolic fraction (DF) of LIMA graft were compared between 2 groups. Results: The following indexes in Traditional OPCAB group and MIDCAB group were as below: intra-operative transfusion was (3.00±5.42) U vs (1.06±2.17) U, post-operative peak value of cTnI was (2.84±9.93) ng/ml vs (0.69±1.74) ng/ml, mechanical ventilation time was (27.9±66.9) h vs (14.2±20.8) h and ICU stay time was (64.1±89.6) h vs (35.2±39.2) h, allP<0.05; while for the graft from LIMA to LAD, MF was (29.45±18.19) ml/min vs (29.04±15.85) ml/min, PI was (2.68±1.19) vs (2.44±0.84) and DF was (71.47±11.12) % vs (70.25±11.30) %, allP>0.05. Conclusion: With LIMA to LAD graft, MIDCAB may achieve the same effect as traditional OPCAB, the early post-operative anastomosis has been reliable.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) for vertebral artery hypoplasia (VAH) and focal vertebral artery stenosis (fVAS) with CT angiography (CTA) finding as a standard.Methods Consecutive patient who underwent TCD and CTA were included.According to the findings of CTA,they were divided into 3 groups:a normal group,a VAH group,and a fVAS group.The TCD parameters included the mean flow velocity (MFV),peak systolic velocity (PSV),pulsatility index (PI),resistance index (RI) and asymmetry index (AI),and they were compared among the groups,respectively.The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of TCD parameters for diagnosis of VAH and fVAS.Results A total of 405 patients were enrolled,including 278 (68.6％) in the normal group,75 (18.5％) in the VAH group,and 52 (12.8％) in the fVAS group.There were significant differences in MFV,PSV,PI,and RI on the affected sides among different groups (the affected side in the normal group was defined as the right side).The blood flow velocity in the VAH group was the slowest,and that in the fVAS group was the fastest.Other parameters had the same trend.There were significant differences in MFV and PSV on the unaffected side among different groups.The blood flow velocity in the VAH group was significantly faster,the fVAS group was slightly faster,and the fVAS group was less than the VAH group.There were significant differences in AI among different groups,and it could be used as an indicator for diagnosis of VAH (the area under the curve 0.78,95％ confidence interval 0.72-0.84;P＜0.001).With the AI ＞33.7％ as a cut-off value,the sensitivity and specificity of VAH diagnosis were 74.7％ and 68.7％.Conclusions Attention should be paid to identifying VAH and fVAS when using TCD for evaluation of vertebral artery.AI ＞33.7％ can be used as a reference index for diagnosis of VAH.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with autologous DC-CIK cells in treating hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) of BCLC C-stage. Methods A total of 60 cases with HCC in BCLC C-stage were randomly and equally divided into the study group (n=30) and the control group (n=30). TACE combined with autologous DC-CIK cells was employed in the patients of the study group, while only TACE was adopted in the patients of the control group. The immune function, six-month and one-year survival rates were determined, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results In the study group, the blood T lymphocyte subsets of CD3+CD8+ were significantly increased, while CD3+CD4+ were obviously decreased. When compared with the pretreatment levels, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The six-month survival rate of the study group and the control group was 67.9% and 48.1% respectively (P<0.05), and the one-year survival rate of the study group and the control group was 53.6%and 29.6%respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of HCC in BCLC C-stage, the therapeutic effect of TACE combined with autologous DC-CIK cells is much better than that of pure TACE. Therefore, this therapy is an effective treatment for HCC in BCLC C-stage.

Objective To examine whether the marginal division of the striatum(MrD)is involved in the associative learning and memory function of human brain with the help of functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)technique.Methods Sixteen right-handed normal volunteers participated in a test of paired-word associative learning and memory,while the fMRI data were recorded.Control tasks were performed for the block-design.Statistcs parameter mapping 99 was used to analyze the data and to obtain the activated brain regions.Results When the threshold was set as P＜0.005.using a one-sample T-test,the left occipital lobe and the superior and middle gyrus of the left frontal lobe were activated remarkably during the encoding process of the paired-word associative learning and memory task,with the maximum intensity T value being 13.87 and 9.36.respectively.The left MrD was also obviously activated during this stage(T value was 5.46).But during the retrieval process,the left parietal lobe was prominently activated(T value was 8.73).Conclusion The resuhs of this study reveal that the subcortical structures such as MrD as well as the cerebral cortex are involved in the associative learning and memory of paired-word in human brain.

Objective To investigate the neural representations of long-term digital memory in human brain by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique. Methods 22 right-handed normal volunteers were recruited to participate in a test of long-term digital memory while the fMRI data were recorded. Control tasks were performed for the block-design. SPM 99 was used to analyze the data and to obtain the activated brain regions.Numbers of activated voxels were used to calculate lateralization index (LI). Results When the threshold was set as P＜0. 0001 ,using a one-sample t -test,the middle gyrus of the left frontal lobe(t=9.68) and the right cerebellum ( t = 9.85 ) were activated remarkably during the memory task. The subcortical structures including the thalamus (t=6.72) and the caudate (t=6.58) were also obviously activated during the memory task. LI of the numbers of activated voxels was 0.51. Conclusions The subcortical structures and the cerebellum as well as the cerebral cortex are collaborative to contribute to long-term digital memory function in human brain. The results also reveal that the functional areas of long-term digital memory in human brain are localized with the functional lateralization in the left hemisphere.
