Objective:To analyze identify method of mild cognitive impairment. Methods:The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Chinese Revised (WAIS-RC) and Wechsler Memory Scale-Chinese Revised (WMS-RC) were examined in 150 patients with memory complaints. 63 individuals whose intelligence quotient (IQ) and memory quotient (MQ) over 85 were designated as normal elderly group;and 33 individuals whose IQ scores over 85 and MQ score between 70 and 84 as mild cognitive impairment(MCI-1) group; and 25 individuals whose IQ scores over 85 and MQ scores between 55 and 69 as MCI-2 group; 29 individuals whose IQ scores and MQ scores less than 85 and conformed with DSM-Ⅳ as Alzheimer disease group.Results: Picture short memory and mental control (B)showed the highest identification between the 2 MCI groups and normal elderly group. Besides, visual reproduction played an important role in mild memory decline (MCI-1) group. Tactile memory, logical memory and associated learning played an important role in moderate memory decline (MCI-2) group.Conclusion: Picture short memory and mental control (B) contribute to identify MCI speedily and effectively.

Objective:To assess clinical validity of the Chinese version of Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (DRS) in differentiating dementia of Alzheimer type (AD). Methods:Administered the DRS, mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and clinical dementia rating(CDR) to 61 outpatients with AD and 104 healthy elderly subjects in Shanghai.Results:There was significant correlation between DRS and the total score,and DRS and MMSE.DRS of the AD group had significant correlation with CDR.Its significant correlation with CDR suggested satisfactory concurrent validity of the scale. The optimal DRS cutoff score for AD according to education level revealed a sensitivity of 85%～94% and a specificity of 90%～94%.Conclusion:The DRS is a clinically valid test for the detection of AD and its severity of cognitive impairment.

Purpose To investigate epidemiology and clinical features of tumors and tumor-like lesions of the foot and ankle,as well as prognosis of malignant tumors.Methods A total of 170 patients,surgically treated for bone and soft tissue tumors of the feet and ankle between 1984 and 2009 in a tertiary referral center specializing in orthopedic oncology,were enrolled in this retrospective study.The age,gender,clinical feature,tumor types,anatomical sites,the correlation between tumor size and tumor types,and the prognosis of malignant tumor were analyzed.Results There were 91 males and 79 females,aged from 7months to 76 years (average,33.1 years).There were 51 cases of bone tumor and 119 cases of soft tissue tumor.Benign tumors commonly occurred in the second and third decades of life,with an average age of 29.54years,while most malignant tumors occurred in patients aged between 40 and 59 years,with an average age of 43.73 years.Skin lesion was a symptom implying malignance.Soft tissue tumor and benign tumor were the most common types in the foot and ankle.Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath was the most common type among benign soft tissue tumors; subungual exostosis and enchondroma were the most common types among benign osseous tumors; while melanoma and synovial sarcoma were the most common types among malignant soft tissue lesions.Both primary and metastatic bone tumors were very rare.Forefoot was the most common site where foot and ankle tumors happened.There was no correlation between tumor size and types of soft tissue tumor,while there was a high correlation between tumor size and types of bone tumor.Among 44 patients with malignant tumor,16 patients underwent limb salvage surgery,while 28 patients underwent amputation.The mean duration of follow-up was 32.4 months.Six patients survived with no evidence of disease.The 5-year survival rate was 16.13％.Conclusion Benign and soft tissue tumors are the most common tumors in the foot and ankle.Most malignant tumors occur in patients over 40 years of age.Skin lesion is a useful symptom in diagnosing malignant tumor.Forefoot is the most common site where tumor happened.There is a high correlation between tumor size and tumor types.The prognosis of malignant tumor is very poor.

This paper is to survey two groups of medicine-oriented English major undergraduates who have their probation either before or after the Quality Monitoring System is introduced to them about their degrees of learning satisfaction through questionnaires and seminar discussions. As a result, it proves that the implementation of the Quality Monitoring System in student probation helps to raise the degrees of student learning satisfaction, which clearly promotes the probation quality and secures the fulfillment of the mission in practice.

Objective:To formulate the norm value of auditory verbal learning test(AVLT)in the normal aged in Chinese community.Methods:360 normal old people(55 to 85 years)in city proper of Shanghai were enrolled and evaluated by AVLT,MMSE test of words reading ability and executive ablity,memory self-evaluation and medical history related to cognitive impairment.Results:70% of the normal old people complained of hypomnesia;The age of 70 and 80 was the hinge points of auditory verbal memory decreasing.AVLT had a moderate relation to age,and a lower relation to educational level.Female did better in AVLT than Male.Furthermore,AVLT had a significant relation to MMSE score,a mild relation to memory self-evaluation,and only related to hypertension of all the medical history.The cut off score of short-term recall,long delayed term recall and total AVLT score(-1SD,-1.5SD and-2SD)was listed.Conclusion:Norm value of AVLT is an effective tool of testing memory impairment.

Objective To investigate the results of laparoscopy and small incision splenectomy in the treatment of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). Methods Under CO2 pneumoperitoneum, laparoscopy and small incision splenectomy was performed in 13 patients . After freeing of the spleen with laparoscopy , we performed a small incision under the left costal margin. The splenic pedicle was 1-igated under direct vision, and the spleen was excised and extracted. Analysis was made of the pre-and post-operative platelet counts, and the complication rate and recovery condition of the patients. Results No complications occurred in the 13 palients, and the effect-iveness of ITP treatment was 100%.Conclusions Laparoscopy and small incision splenectomy is a safe and effective method to treat ITP.
