Objective To explore particularity of the diagnosis and treatment with massive bilateral chronic subdural hematoma (BCSDH) in elders.Method The clinical data of 25 elders with BCSDH treated in our hospital from 2007 to 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.All patients were examined with computerized tomography (CT) of 25 patients through the bilateral trephined hole.Results Twenty-four patients recovered better,the symptom significantly improved.After operative 1 month,14 patients? hematoma disappear,6 patents only had little bilateral subdural effusion,4 patents only had little unilateral subdural effusion.One patient appeared massive subdural effusion on the second day after operation,the familiality gave up therapy,and the patient was dead.Conclusion CT scanning should be taken before you make correct diagnisis.Bilateral single twist-drill craniostomy with irrigation and drainage is a chief method to massive BCSDH.

Objective To observe the effects of systematic mental intervention, with combined centralized teaching, group interview and individual consulting, on mental health, personality and coping style in recruits, and explore an optimal intervention model for recruits' mental health. Methods Two thousand and sixteen recruits in one unit were involved in the present study, among them 1064 were allocated to study group, and the remaining 952 to control group. Recruits in study group received centralized teaching with battalion as a unit, and received group interview in squad or platoon as a unit, and meanwhile individual interview was conducted. Symptoms Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were filled one month after they were enlisted in the army and 3 days before the training ended. Recruits in control group undertook the same tests mentioned above only 3 days before the training ended. Results The total score and factor scores except hostility in SCL-90 test were significantly lower after than before systematic mental intervention (P<0.05), the hostility score was slightly higher than before intervention but with no statistical significance (P>0.05). The total score and factor scores except paranoia in SCL-90 test were significantly lower in study group than in control group after intervention (P<0.05). Scores of extraversion-introversion tendency and nervousness were significantly lower after than before intervention (P<0.001), the scores of psychoticism and social lie were slightly higher but with no statistical significance (P>0.05), the score of active coping was significantly higher (P<0.001), and of negative coping was significantly lower (P<0.001) after than before intervention. The ratio of the score over 2 and above declined obviously (P<0.05) in neurosis, SCL-90 abnormality, SCL-90 total scores, number of positive items, somatization, obsession, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobia, paranoid, and psychotic factor after than before intervention in recruits. Conclusion Systematic mental intervention, which consisted of combined centralized teaching, group interview and individual consulting, may promote the mental health, personality and coping style in recruits.

Rhizome anemarrhena,sweet and bitter to taste,cold,in the lung,stomach and kidney meridian,has the function clearing away heat and purging pathogenic fire,nourishing Yin and moistening dryness.Zhang Zhong Jin in "Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber "with a different combination of herbs and Rhizome anemarrhenae,reflects the multiple efficacies of TCM and compatibility.

According to the concept of sagittal spinal balance, the alternating curves of cervical and lumbar lordosis and thoracic and sacral kyphosis enable the head to be positioned over the trunk and pelvis. But the sagittal imbalance represents departure from this ideal form. Cervical kyphosis may represent the most disabling of these imbalances, for it can cause pain, postural difficulties, or neurologic deficit. A summary and discussion is reviewed regarding the anatomy, biomechanics, etiology, clinical presentation, laboratory examination and treatment of this condition.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic disabling mental illness with thecore symptoms of obsession and compulsion, while its pathological mechanism has not yet been fully understood. In recent years, magnetic resonance (MR) technology has been used in the study of mental illness, because of its nonradiative and non-invasive advantage, etc. Many MR studies have found that OCD patients havecerebellar changes in structure and function, and these changes have contact with the incidence of OCD. This paper reviews the cerebellar's role in the onset of OCDapplying MR technology.

Heart transplantation(HT) has been an effective method to treat end-stage heart disease, one main factor affecting the long-term survival rate is acute and/or chronic rejection after HT. Trans internal jugular endomyocardial biopsy(EMB) has been the "gold standard" to judge the rejection after HT, but it is also limited. Electrocardiogram ,echocardiogram, immunological monitoring and imaging monitoring can judge the rejection after HT and induce the EMB.

Techniques for functional brain imaging are critical to analyze the information processing of brain and to reveal the advanced functions in brain. These techniques are the hot topics of international research. Great success has been obtained with neuroimaging techniques in the fields of neuroscience research and clinical diagnosis. Existing brain functional imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),positron emission tomography (PET),electroencephalogram (EEG),magnetoencephalography (MEG) and so on,have been successfully used to study brain function. However,these methods have some limitations unavoidably in the temporal or spatial resolution at present. Comparatively,the optical imaging technologies of brain function show their unique charms. Laser speckle imaging (LSI) and intrinsic optical signals imaging (IOSI) stand out because they offer a superior combination of spatial sampling,spatial resolution and temporal resolution; on the other hand,they have no need to use exogenous contrast agents. Great developments also have been obtained in both techniques and applications of brain optical imaging,and they have become powerful tools for in vivo studying functional architecture and pathophysiology in cerebral cortex by monitoring hemodynamics. However,the two optical imaging techniques are confronted with some challenges.
