BACKGROUND: At present, there are some researches on the cognitive identification of Chinese characters at home or abroad, however, most of them are based on the normal and healthy people.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the processing styles of optical information on phonemic code, graphic code and semantic code of Chinese haracters between hearing-disabled and normal people.DESIGN: Retrospective, observational and compared analysis based on the hearing-disabled as research subjects and the normal as the controlled group.SETTING: Department of education in a university.PARTICIPANTS: This study was completed in Xi' an between October 2001 and April 2002. With the mean age of 17 years and half in gender, 20hearing-disabled people, who were in grade 6 to grade 8, were selected from the Second School for the Deaf and Dumb in Xi' an. Inclusion criteria: The hearing loss of people was more than or equal to 92 dB. Exclusion criteria:People with acquired hearing-disabled were excluded. At the beginning of study in primary school, they were accepted oral training and taught Chinese pinyi, but gesture was the main communicated style in their daily life. With the mean age of 15 years and half in gender, 28 normal people, who were in grade 3, were selected from the No. 99 Middle School in Xi'an.METHODS: This study showed with serial opticum. The diagnostic method was compared with the cognitive identification of the three kinds of Chinese characters between the hearing-disabled and the normal respectively.phonemic code, graphic code and semantic code between hearing-disabled characters between hearing-disabled and normal people.RESULTS: The results showed that the function of graphic code in visual processing was strongly correlated with recognition of words of Chinese characters than the phoneme code and semantic code in both the hearing-disabled and hearing children. For hearing-disabled children, the alternative was the direct access that a semantic code was produced directly from a translation of the graphic code, however, the hearing children used the strategies of grapheme-phoneme conversion rules to interpret the meaning of words.CONCLUSION: The analysis of various results showe that no significant differences of mental processing are found between the hearing-disabled and hearing children. Perhaps both the direct access and the grapheme-phoneme conversion will be a comprehensive information processing activated each other.

Objective: To explore therapeutic effect of tolvaptan on chronic heart failure (CHF).Methods: A total of 102 CHF patients hospitalized in our hospital from Jun 2015 to Jun 2016 were selected.According to random number table, patients were divided into furosemide control group (n=52, received furosemide based on routine treatment) and tolvaptan group (n=50, received tolvaptan based on routine treatment).Cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), stroke volume (SV), systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and therapeutic effect were observed and compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results: Compared with before treatment, there were significant rise in CO, CI and SV, and significant reduction in SVR in both groups after treatment, P<0.01 all;compared with furosemide control group after treatment, there were significant rise in CO [(4.41±0.71) L/min vs.(4.80±0.77) L/min], CI [(3.21±0.52) L·min-1·m-2 vs.(3.62±0.78) L·min-1·m-2] and SV [(70.09±14.90)ml vs.(79.60±13.10)ml], and significant reduction in SVR [(3111.30±931.85) dyne·s/cm5 vs.(2756.68±856.32) dyne·s/cm5] in tolvaptan group, P<0.05 or <0.01.Total effective rate of tolvaptan group was significantly higher than that of routine treatment (100.0% vs.75.0%), P=0.001.Conclusion: Tolvaptan can significantly improve heart function in patients with chronic heart failure,its therapeutic effect is significant, so it's worth extending.

Objective To study the protective mechanism of S-adenosylmethionine ( SAM) underlying liver injury induced by lipopolysaccharides ( LPS). Methods One hundred BABL/c mice were randomly divided into LPS group and SAM group. Mice in LPS group were intraperitoneally injected with 10 mg/kg LPS,and the mice in SAM group were injected with 100 mg/kg SAM 2 h before receiving the same dose of LPS. The survival rate of mice in 2 groups was recorded in 24,48,72 and 120 h after LPS injection. Histopathological changes in liver of mice were examined in 0,1,3,6,12 and 24 h after LPS injection. Tumor necrosis factor-? ( TNF-?) and interleukin-10 ( IL-10) levels in serum were measured by ELISA analysis at above time points. Expression of Toll-like receptor 4 ( TLR4) and liver X receptor ? ( LXR?) in hepatic tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results SAM increased the survival rate of mice from 50. 0% ,40. 0% ,30. 0% ,and 30. 0% before LPS injection to 80. 0% ,70. 0% ,60. 0% ,and 50. 0% after its injection ( P

Objective To investigate the application of middle segment pancreatectomy (MSP) in treating benign pancreatic tumors and the effect on exocrine function.Methods From Jan.2010 to Feb.2013,19 cases with benign pancreatic tumor undergoing MSP were enrolled in our study.Pre-and postoperative pancreatic exocrine function were studied.Results No perioperative death happened.The tumor diameter was 4.2 to 7.0cm,operative time was 80 to 320 mins,and intraoperative blood loss was 200 to 1000 ml.The retained pancreas was＞l.5 cm at pancreatic head side,and＞5 cm at pancreatic caudal side.Three days after surgery,the peritoneal drainage and amylase was 2.5-12.5 ml and 568.4-1013 IU/L,respectively.Seven days after surgery,the peritoneal drainage and amylase was 1.0-19.8 ml and 45.4-76.3 IU/L,respectively.The postoperative hospitalization stay were 10 to 25 days.Three cases (all single anastomosis) had pancreatic fistula after surgery and healed after 3 months without undergoing surgery again.Patients were followed up for 2 months to 3 years.All patients have a good life quality,without new-onset diabetes and cancer recurrence.MSP had no side effects on pancreatic exocrine function.Conclusion MSP is safe and feasible in treatment of benign pancreatic tumors.

Conclusions: Embolization combined with curretting may be the effective methods to treat facial bone AVM without resection of bone.

Objective To explore the correlation of blood glucose variability and TCM syndromes in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods A total of 64 type 2 diabetic patients from China-Japan Friendship Hospital during Jan. 2010 to Dec. 2013 with complete clinical data were measured by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMs) for 3 days. Patients were divided into empirical group and deficiency group. The empirical group included heat excess and fluid deficiency syndrome, phlegm-dampness stagnation syndrome and blood stasis syndrome. The deficiency group included qi-yin deficiency syndrome and yin-yang deficiency syndrome. The mean blood glucose (MBG), and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) were compared between the groups and types in each group, and the correlation with TCM syndrome types were analyzed. Results There was no significant difference in MBG between two groups (P>0.05). MAGE in deficiency group was higher than that in empirical group (P<0.05). No difference of MAGE existed among TCM syndrome types in empirical group (P>0.05), but in deficiency group, MAGE in yin-yang deficiency syndrome was higher than that in qi-yin deficiency syndrome (P<0.05). Conclusion Blood glucose variability has no correlation with MBG in type 2 diabetic patients. Glucose showed significant variability in deficiency group, and the most serious glucose variability was found in type of yin-yang deficiency syndrome.

Cytokeratin 1 4 (CK1 4)has a different degree of expression in NSCLC,breast cancer,cer-vical cancer,esophageal cancer and other tumors,except in the normal basal cells.CK1 4 is mainly expressed in the peripheral part of the tumor,which is rarely expressed in the non-aggressive part.Usually the higher malignant of the tumor has the more expression of CK1 4.Given all that,CK1 4 gene plays an important role in the tumor progression and metastasis in a variety of tumors,which can be considered as an biomarker being used in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis evaluation.
