Objective:To investigate communication and adaptive function of children with Asperger Syndrome (AS).Methods:The adaptive function of two groups,123 with AS and 23 normal, were investigated with Adaptive Ability Scale for Children; Intelligence were measured with WISC; Communication behaviors of AS children were also investigated. Results:Significant differences were found between the two groups in total score of adaptive abilities and in domains of socialization, communication and self-administration; Abnormal communication behaviors were found in AS children。Conclusion: AS children demonstrated abnormal communication behaviors and deficits in social adaptive abilities.Early diagrosis and intervention can reduce children's adaptive trouble after entering school.

Objective To study the effects of enteral immunonutrition on immune function in patients with multiple trauma. Method A total of 32 patients with multiple trauma admitted to general ICU in ChangZheng hospital, Shanghai from March 2007 to May 2008 were randomly (random number) divided into two groups,enteral immunonutrition group (EIN group, n = 16)and the general formula enteral nutrition group (EN group, n = 16).Two groups of patients on the third day after injury began to accept the EIN and the general formula EN which respectively support at least 14 days. The patients peripheral blood lymphocyte count (TLC), immunoglobulin (IgG,IgM, IgA) ,and T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8) were detected on the day of the group formation, the seventh and the fortteenth day of the nutritional support. Results TLC, IgG, IgM, IgA, CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher in EIN Group on the 7th and 14th day than that on the first day ( P ＜0.05), and extended with the EIN and sustained increase. All immunization indicators of EN group on the 7th day were no significant changes compared with the day of the group formation, and on the 14 th day TLC, IgG, IgM,IgA, CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher than that on the day of the group formation ( P ＜ 0.05),but were significantly lower than that in the EIN group on the 14th day ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions Compared with the general formula EN, EIN is more helpful to restore and increase the humoral and cellular immune function in early post-multitraumatic phase.

Objective To explore the clinical value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of breast disease ,and compared with ultrasound and mammography .Methods The clinical data of 28 patients who were pathologically confirmed with breast cancer were retrospectively reviewed .The diagnostic accuracy of DWI ,mammogra-phy and ultrasound , the surface diffusion coefficients ( ADC value ) were statistically analyzed .Results ( 1 ) DWI scan:the diagnostic accuracy of malignant tumor was 90.9%(20/22),the ADC value of malignant tumor was (0.955 ±0.199) ×10 -3mm2/s;the diagnostic accuracy of benign lesions was 83.3%(5/6),the average ADC value of benign lesions was (1.660 ±0.339) ×10 -3 mm2/s,there were statistically significant differences ( t=2.371,P<0.05).(2)Mammography:the diagnostic accuracy of malignant tumor was 81.8%(18/22),the diagnostic accuracy of benign lesions was 33.3%(2/6).(3) Ultrasound:the diagnostic accuracy of malignant tumor was 86.4%(19/22),the diagnostic accuracy of benign lesions was 50.0%(3/6).The diagnostic accuracy of malignant tumor had no significant difference among three techniques (χ2 =0.752,P>0.05),but for the diagnostic accuracy of benign lesions,DWI was better than ultrasound and mammography ,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =6.146, P<0.05).Conclusion For the diagnosis of malignant breast tumors and benign lesions ,DWI is better than ultra-sound and mammography ,which has high clinical application value .

Radiation?induced heart disease ( RIHD) is a common type of radiation?induced damages in chest radiotherapy. There are no obvious short?term symptoms in patients with RIHD. However, RIHD causes irreversible permanent damages to the heart over time, which undermines the quality of life. Patients with severe RIHD even have a risk of death from myocardial infarction caused by coronary atherosclerosis. This paper summarizes the research advances in epidemiology, diagnosis, mechanisms of radiation?induced injury in various parts of the heart, radiotherapy techniques, and treatment. Reduction in radiation range and dose, early diagnosis, and early treatment are recommended for patients to reduce heart injury and improve the quality of life.

Although it has been frequently used to treat thoraxic tumors,radiation induced lung injury (RILI) is the major factor of dose limitation in thoracic radiotherapy.Amount of endogenous and exogenous reactive oxygen / nitrogen species (ROS/RNOS) could be generated in the radiated organisms and further cause molecular damage of DNA,protein and membrane lipids,which results in celluar structure damage,dysfunction and RILI.In addition,a series of cytokines could also induce chronic oxidative stresses that contribute to increases in cell membrane permeability,tissue edema and extracellular matrix proteins accumulation and even further result in pulmonary fibrosis.Oxidative stress theory offers new clues and strategies for further understanding the mechanism of RILI,and some anti-oxidative stress drugs may have potential clincial application in RILI treatment.
