Objective To investigate the changes and its clinical significance of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) level and plasma tissue plasminogen activator( t-PA ) level in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Methods 99 aMCI patients (aMCI group) and 99 matched normal controls (NC group) were recruited for the present study. Multi-dimension neuropsychologic tests were used to extensively assess cognitive function of subjects. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was applied to measure serum BDNF level and plasma t-PA level. The correlation analysis between serum BDNF level and plasma t-PA level tested by ELISA and cognitive function were also made. Results (1) The results neuropsychologic tests in aMCI guoup were significantly lower than those in NC group (all P

Objective To estimate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) among the patients undergoing manintenance hemodialysis (MHD), and evaluate the efficacy and the adverse effects of sildenafil for ED. Methods The international index of erectile function questionnaire (IIEF) was used to estimate 22 male MHD cases. ED patients were administered sildenafil with the initial dose of 25 mg/d, then maximum of 100 mg/d for 12 weeks. Results 72. 73% (16/22) of MHD patients complained of ED, and the total effective rate of sildenafil was 87.5% (14/16) with common adverse effects-headache and flushing. Conclusion Sildenafil in MHD patients has similar efficacy and safety as the others.

Objective To explore the significance of language proficiency in bilingual perception in Chinese-English late bilingual subjects with block-design functional magnetic resonance imaging (bfMRI).Methods Thirteen right-handed Chinese Han healthy male late bilinguists who had limited English proficiency were scanned while listening to short sentences in Chinese and English.Based on blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal efficacy,functional images were collected using a 1.5-T MRI.Statistical parametric mapping 2 (SPM2) was used to analyze the data of functional images (P＜0.001,KE＞ 100).Results For Chinese familiar voices,more significant activation was observed in the right superior temporal gyrus than that for English familiar voices.On the contrary,more significant activations for English familiar voices were observed in the left precuneus,middle frontal gyrus and left posterior cingulate cortex compared with that for Chinese familiar voices.For Chinese unfamiliar voices,more significant activations were observed in the right middle temporal gyrus and right medial frontal gyrus than that for English unfamiliar voices.In contrast,more significant activations by English unfamiliar voices were observed in the right inferior frontal gyrus,middle frontal gyrus and left middle temporal gyrus compared with that for Chinese unfamiliar voices.Conclusion Language proficiency may play an important role in different language perception from auditory level.

Objective To study the scan parameter of spiral CT angiography in aortic dissection.Methods 34 cases with aortic dissection successively underwent SCTA were studied retrospectively.The CT scan parameters,methods of posteriorimage treating were reviewed and analysed one by one.Results In 34 cases,32 cases were diagnosed as aortic dissection and classified correctly,in accordance with the result of operation and DSA,the quality of image was satisfied and the rate of success at least above 88.9%.The use of main scan parameters:(1)the ascend aortic dissection:slice thickness 4 mm,reconstruction interval 2 mm,pitch 1.25;tube current 175 mA;(2)involed in ascend,arch,descend and throacic aorta dissection:slice thickness 5 mm,reconstruction interval 2～3 mm,pitch 1.5;tube current 150 mA;(3)involved in abdominal aortic dissection:slice thickness 6～8 mm,reconstruction interval 2～3 mm,pitch 1.5 or 1.75;tube current 125 mA.The tube voltage all were 120 kV,the dosage of contrast media was 90～100 ml;the delayed scan time was choiced 20 second in throacic aortic and 25 second in abdominal aortic.The posterior image methods main used MPR,SSD,MIP and VR. Conclusion To set a sensible scaning plan,choose and match scan parameters properly according to the scaning length,can avoid the shortage of restrain SCTA scaning length and get satisfied image.

Background In previous study,peripheral retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness is considered to be the earliest structural changes which can be detected.3D-OCT can measure the thickness of macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC),which makes the detection of primary glaucoma possible in the early stage.Objective This study was to measure the thickness of mGCC and disc-peripheral RNFL in early stage of primary glaucomous eyes by 3D-OCT and assess the anatomic basis of glaucoma-induced optical nerve damage.Methods 3D-OCT images from 10 patients with advanced stage primary glaucoma in one lateral eye and early stage glaucoma in fellow eye from December 2010 to December 2012 were prospectively analyzed in China-Japan Friendship Hospital.The patients were diagnosed based on the recommended standard of National glaucoma group (1987 version) and received routine eye examination.3D-OCT scanning was performed using 3D-macular mode,3D-macular Wide mode and 3D-disc mode with TOPCON 3D-OCT 2000 system,and the images at macular 6 mm×6 mm area were analyzed.The posterior pole area was divided into 5 concentric rings from fovea toward periphery and equally subdivided into 100 small checks,with the area of 0.6 mm×0.6 mm for each.The probable values in each check were calculated as the ratio of each figure and corresponding normal value.The probable values were expressed as red color (P＜ 1％),yellow color (P＜5％) and gray color (P≥ 5％).Then the disc-periphery RNFL thickness and disc cup were evaluated.Results No evident abnormality was found in the thicknesses of photoreceptors layer and bipolar cell layer in both advanced glaucomous eyes and the early stage of glaucomous eyes in the 10 patients.Serious damage of visual field was seen in the advanced glaucomous eyes and presented with red color in the parapapillary RNFL area,mGCC area and macular RNFL area,showing an evidently attenuation of the thicknesses of parapapillary RNFL,mGCC and RNFL.However,the visual field was close normal in the early stage glaucomous eyes,and mGCC and macular RNFL showed yellow color,while green or yellow color was exhibited in the parapapillary RNFL area,indicating mGCC and macular RNFL thickness was reduced,but parapapillar RNFL thickness was near normal.Conclusions The change of mGCC thickness is earlier than that of peripheral RNFL at optic disc in primary glaucomaous eyes,which may imply that the disappear of macular ganglion cell body is earlier than that of the axon.
