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 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 .

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.

Aim To investigate the effect of irbesartan and spironolactone on expressions of connective tissue growth factor(CTGF),P-p38MAPK proteins during vascular remodeling in renovascular hypertensive rats(RHR).Methods Renovascular hypertension was induced by two kidney one clip(2K1C)operation.8 weeks later,RHRs were given irbesartan or(and)spironolactone for 8 weeks.After 8 weekstreatment,the morphometric measurements were performed in the mesenteric arterioles.Concertration of carboxyterminal propeptide of typeⅠprocollagen(PⅠCP)and N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅲ procollagen(PⅢNP)in blood serum was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method,and the media collagen area was assessed by collagne-specific Picro-sirius red staining with computerized video processing.Expressions of collagen type I,CTGF,P-p38MAPK proteins were detected using immunohistochemistry respectively.Results The arterial systolic pressure was attenuated significantly after the treatment of irbesartan,and this effect could not be enhanced by spironolactone.The media thickness over lumen ratio,media cross-sectional area over luminal area ratio of mesenteric arterioles,concertration of PⅠCP and PⅢNP,media collagen area,and expression of collagen typeⅠwere significantly increased in RHRs but ameliorated by irbesartan and spironolactone.Meanwhile,the expressions of CTGF,P-p38MAPK proteins were up-regulated in RHRs but blunted significantly after the treatment of irbesartan and spironolactone.The combined treatment had the synergic effects.Conclusions There is a synergistic effect of attenuating extracellular matrix(ECM)producing and amelioration of vascular remodeling(VR)by combined use of irbesartan and spironolactone.It maybe related to the expressions of CTGF and P-p38MAPK proteins down regulated by these two drugs.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of goserelin on vascular growth factor and immune function of rats with prostatic hyperplasia. METHODS:Rats were selected to establish prostatic hyperplasia model and randomly divided into model group,gose-relin low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups (0.4,0.8,1.2 mg/kg);normal rats were selected as normal control group, with 10 rats in each group. Normal control group and model group were given normal saline intragastrically,and goserelin groups were given relevant dose of drugs intragastrically,once a day,for consecutive 25 days. The prostate volume,wet weight,prostatic index of rats were detected as well as positive cell area of VEGF,TGF-β1,FGF,CD4 and CD8 in prostate tissue. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,prostate volume,wet weight,prostatic index,positive cell area of VEGF,TGF-β1,FGF, CD4 and CD8 were all increased in model group (P<0.05). Compared with model group,the above indexes of goserelin groups were all improved (P<0.05),especially those in medium-dose and high-dose groups were better than in low-dose group (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance between medium-dose group and high-dose group(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Gosere-lin can relieve prostatic hyperplasia of rats,reduce the expression of VEGF in prostate tissue and regulate immune function.
