Objective To observe the effects of rehabilitation in the 55 prelingually deaf pediatric cases for two years after cochlear implantation ,factors including cochlear implantation and recovery time ;to compare the re-covery effects in the group of 1 to 3 years old children with the group of 3~5 years old (including the age of 3 years old) who lost their hearing before learning to speak ,and to provide clinical evidence for providing cochlear implant therapy to the prelingually deaf children as early as possible .Methods A total of 55 pediatric relingually deaf cases were included in this study .According to their implantation time and application duration ,they were divided into 2 groups :1 to 3 years old group (32 cases) ,and >3 to 5 years old group (23 cases) respectively .The hearing ,lan-guage and learning abilities on 1 ,3 ,6 ,12 ,18 ,24 months after cochlear implantation were evaluated ,using statisti-cal method to record CAP and SIR scores .Results The rehabilitation effects ,the average ages ,CAP ,speech rec-ognition rates and SIR were increased two years afterwards .The effects of younger age group were more noticeable than that in the older group .The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Av-erage speech recognition rates ,average speech rehabilitation effects in each postoperative period of younger age group were better than those of in older age group ,showing significant differences (P<0 .05);CAPs in the younger age group on 1 ,3 and 12 months after CI surgery were significantly higher than those of in the older group (P value were 0 .001 ,0 .001 and 0 .002 ,respectively) .SIR in the younger age group at the time of 1 ,3 ,12 ,24 months were significantly higher than those of in the older group(P values were 0 .00 ,0 .00 ,0 .00 and 0 .024 ,respectively) . Conclusion Implanted age and recovery time are the key factors that influence the effects of postoperative rehabilita-tion .The younger when the children get cochlear implantation and the longer the recovery time takes during two years after cochlear implantation ,the better the results are .The standardization of domestic assessment for the re-covery effects and the international evaluation method have a certain degree of equivalence .

Objective To identify the expression of PTEN ,vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and (matrix) metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9) in gastric carcinoma and its relationship to the biological behavior of (gastric) carcinoma. Methods The expression of PTEN ,VEGF and MMP-9 in 71 cases of gastric carcinoma tissue and 37 cases of gastric mucosa distant from carcinoma were detected by streptavidin peroxidase (immunohistochemistry). Results The expression of PTEN in gastric carcinoma tissues(71.8%) was (significantly) lower than its expression in gastric mucosa distant from carcinoma(100%)(P0.05).The expression of VEGF in gastric carcinoma(62.5%) was sigificantly higher than in gastric mucosa distant from carcinoma(29.7%)(P0.05).The expression of MMP-9 in gastric (carcinoma)(69%) was significantly higer than in gastric mucosa distant form carcinoma(40.5%)(P0.05).The expression of PTEN in gastric carcinoma was inversely correlated with expression of VEGF and MMP-9(P

Objective To study the role of mutation of p300/CBP gene in the development of human gastric carcinoma (GC) . Methods Mutations analysis of the p300/CBP gene were carried out in 30 fresh GC samples using a combination of polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing,and compared with gastric mucosa distance from the GC. Results p300/CBP genes mutations were detected in 4 of 30 fresh GCs. All the mutation were point mutations, including T to G in nucleotide 4741, 4773,4847 and 4881 in genomic DNA of p300. The mutation site was in the non-coding area in nucleotid 4741;whereas in the others were in the coding area, leading to the change of the amino acids, induding Ser to Arg in nucleotide 4773, Val to Ala in nucleotide 4847 and 4881, respectively. Of the 30 patients, 4 cases with the single site mutation were discovered, 2 cases had the first two sites mutation, while the others had all the four sites mutation. Conclusions Two to four poiuts mutation of p300/CBP gene are presented in GC.

Objective To investigate the effect of IGF-I on the apoptosis and the expression of survivin through the signaling pathway of PI-3K/Akt in colon cancer cell line SW480.Methods When colon cancer cell line SW480 was culfured,Western blot was used to detect the expression of survivin protein in SW480 cells after they were stimulated by different concentrations of IGF-I for different lengths of time.The phosphorylation of Akt in SW480 cells was determined by Western blot after SW480 cells were stimulated by 100 ng/mL IGF-I with in 2 h.Before and after the specific inhibitor LY294002 was treated in SW480 cells to block the pathway of PI-3K/Akt,the phosphorylation level of Akt protein was detected by western blot,survivin protein by western blot and cell immunofluorescence and the cell apoptosis rates of different treated-groups were measured by flow cytometry.Results IGF-I up-regulated the expression of survivin in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner in colon cancer line SW480(when treated with IGF-I for 12h,the expression of Survivin reached the peak and when treated with 100ng/ml IGF-I,the Survivin reached the highest expression level);IGF-I actived the signaling pathway of PI-3K/Akt of SW480 cells quickly(the expression of p-Akt proteins in SW480 reached the maximum level when cultured with IGF-I for 15 and 30min,but after that they quickly decreased);IGF-I induced survivin expression through the PI-3K/Akt in colon cancer line SW480;IGF-I could inhibited the apoptosis of SW480 cells through the PI-3K/Akt[use of flow cytometry for detection in the blank,stimulation and block groups showed the SW480 cell apoptosis rate was(5.18?0.415)%,(0.85?0.052)%,(3.15?0.411)% respectirely,with significant differences between the groups(P

Objective To investigate the effect of TGIF on apoptosis of TGF-?-induced gastric canceer cell.Methods After TGIF was stably transfected into gastric cancer cell line BGC823,apoptosis was examined with flow cytometry,and the expressions of TGIF,caspase8 and caspase9 were analyzed with Western blot.Results The apoptosis rate of BGC823 cells with the treatment of TGF-? obviously increased,and was accompanied by activation of caspase9 but not caspase8.Moreover,compared with controls,pcDNA3.1-TGIF-transfected BGC823 cells significantly decreased the sensitivity of TGF-?-induced apoptosis.Conclusions TGF-? induced the apoptosis of gastric cancer cell BGC823 via caspase9 pathway;furthermore,TGIF could inhibit TGF-?-induced apoptosis.

Objective To analyze the status quo of the diagnosis and treatments of primary gastro-intestinal lymphoma (PGIL) in order to improve it. Methods Eighty-one patients with PGIL were ana-lyzed retrospectively including clinical manifestations, endoscopic features, pathological features, HP in-fection, treatment, and prognosis. Results The age of patients with gastric lymphoma was (52.84±15.33) years. The age of patients with intestinal lymphoma was (42.09±15.28) years. Common symp-toms included abdominal pain (76.5%), gastrointestinal bleeding (55.6%), anemia (54.3%), abdominal mass (25.9%), hypoproteinemia (40.7%), bowel obstruction (11.1%), abdominal dis-tension, vomiting, and other non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms (32.1%), weight loss (33.3%); fever (8.6%), diarrhea (7.4%), digestive tract perforation (1.2%), constipation (1.2%), and dysphagia (1.2%). Endoscopic appearances were as follows: tumor type (67.7%), ulcer type (27.7%), and diffuse type (4.6%). Clinical diagnosis rate and endoscopic biopsy confirmation rate were 30.9% and 73.8%. MALT lymphoma accounted for 61.7% of the patients. HP detection rate was 39.5 % and positive rate was 37.5 %. A total of 69 patients received surgeries: 3 had preoperative chem-otherapy, and 34 had postoperative chemotherapy. Twelve patients had non-surgical treatment, 6 patients of whom had simple chemotherapy and HP eradication therapy, and the other 6 gave up during the treat-ment. There was no significant difference in the survival rate of Stage Ⅰ～Ⅱ patients in the surgery alone group, surgery plus chemotherapy group, and chemotherapy and HP eradication therapy group (P>0.05). The survival rate of Stage IIIⅢ～Ⅳ patients in the surgery alone group was lower than that in the other 2 groups (P<0.05). The 5-year, 3-year, and 1-year survival rate was 55.87%, 70.96%, and 96.39%, respectively. Conclusion There are no specific clinical and endoscopic features in PGIL, so the misdiagnosis rate is high. Multi-site biopsy or repeated biopsies and immunohistochemical methods can be used to raise the pathological diagnosis rate. Chemotherapy and HP eradication are recommended.

Objective To evaluate the effect of online teaching platform in clinical neurology prac-tice. Methods The participants were medical undergraduate students in the process of clinical practice in Department of Neurology of XiJing hospital, who were divided into the traditional practice teaching group (n=77) and online platform auxiliary practice teaching group (n=90), respectively carry-ing out the corre-sponding rotation practice teaching . Unified objective structured clinical examination was given to two groups of students to implement departmental rotation examination , and investigation was made among teachers and students on the evaluation of the effect of practice. SPSS 19.0 was used to do t test to the two sets of corresponding evaluation data. Results Total score of departmental rotation examination in online platform auxiliary practice teaching group (69.33 ±2.74) was significantly higher than traditional teaching group (67.23±2.50) (P=0.000). Scores of basic theories, skill and operation, clinical case analysis in online platform auxiliary practice teaching group were significantly higher than traditional teaching group (P<0.05). However, medical record writing scores in online platform auxiliary practice teaching group (7.39± 1.09) were significantly lower than the traditional teaching group (8.03±1.03) (P=0.000). Teachers' eval-uation of practice effect was obviously higher in online platform auxiliary practice teaching group (12.33± 0.52) than that in traditional teaching group (10.67 ±1.03) (P=0.005). Students' evaluation of interest in learning, content arrangement, teachers' sense of responsibility, evaluation of teaching ability, practice effect were obviously higher than that of traditional teaching group (P<0.05). Conclusion This study preliminary has achieved good practical effect by using online auxiliary teaching platform, and got high evaluation by both teachers and students.

Objective To explore the influence of social network on the quality of life of elderly stroke patients in communities. Methods The general situation questionnaire, the stroke impact scale ( SIS) and social network scale for the elderly were used to investigate the community elderly stroke patients. Results The total score of social network was(39. 82±5. 87). The scores of social participation,social con-tact and social support were(11. 79±1. 61),(14. 90±3. 31) and (13. 13±3. 19). Results of univariate a-nalysis showed there were statistically significant differences ( P<0. 05) in quality of life among stroke pa-tients of different ages (F=7. 803),educational level (F=2. 664),family income (F=4. 754),smoking (F=5. 467),alcohol consumption (F=7. 058),physical exercise (F=10. 393),body mass index (t=4. 841) and hypertension (t=-2. 862). Multiple linear regression results showed that 3 times or more exercises per week ( B=5. 689),normal body mass index (B=6. 613),high degree of social support (B=0. 710),social partici-pation (B=1. 421) and social contact (B=1. 372) were protective factors for the quality of life of stroke pa-tients. Age 80 years and above (B=-10. 426),frequent smoking (B=-9. 005),frequent drinking (B=-8. 419) and hypertension ( B=-5. 224) were risk factors for quality of life. Conclusion The elderly stroke patients should quit smoking and alcohol,strengthen exercise,maintain a normal body mass index and avoid overweight and obesity in daily life. While promoting health-related behaviors,more attention should be paid to the promotion effect of social network on treatment,rehabilitation and overall quality of life of stroke patients.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)for the treatment of chronic functional constipation in the elderly.Methods:A total of 33 elderly patients with chronic functional constipation were included and given three sessions of FMT.Changes in fecal characteristics, constipation, mood and quality of life in these patients were evaluated using the Bristol stool form scale(BSFS), the constipation assessment scale(CAS), patient assessment of constipation symptoms(PAC-SYM), the Zung self-rating anxiety scale(SAS), the Zung self-rating depression scale(SDS), and the patient assessment of constipation quality of life(PAC-QOL)before and 12 weeks after treatment.The clinical efficacy was based on comparison between pre-and post-treatment results for each patient.Results:Clear improvement was achieved in 33 patients 12 weeks after treatment, compared with before transplantation.Post-treatment scores of the constipation assessment scale and symptom self-assessment questionnaire for patients with constipation were(8.9±1.2)scores and(26.5±2.4)scores, respectively, significantly lower than pre-transplantation scores of(12.2±1.1)scores and(32.4±2.4)scores( t=15.034, 13.904, both P<0.001). Similarly, post-treatment scores were also lower than pre-transplantation levels for the self-rating anxiety scale[(50.4±8.4)scores vs.(57.5±9.0)scores, t=10.333, P<0.001], the self-rating depression scale[(50.6±8.4)% vs.(55.0±10.5)%, t=5.301, P<0.001], and self-assessment questionnaire for quality of life[(88.2±7.3)scores vs.(103.7±7.3)scores, t=23.300, P<0.001]. Conclusions:FMT can improve fecal characteristics and constipation symptoms, relieve anxiety and depression, improve the quality of life, and provide a new option for the treatment for elderly patients with chronic functional constipation.
