Cognitive impairment refers to the abnormality of the hippocampus, cortex and other parts of the brain, which is manifested by the decline of cognitive abilities such as learning, memory and attention. With the increase in people's work pressure and bad living habits, the incidence of cognitive impairment is getting higher and higher, which seriously affects people's normal life. However, there are adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal reactions and extrapyramidal reactions in Western drug treatment for cognitive impairment. Therefore, the development of a drug with relatively minimal adverse reactions is of great significance. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has the characteristics of "multi-component, multi-pathway and multi-target", and the incidence of adverse reactions is relatively low. Studies have shown that the pathogenesis of cognitive impairment is closely related to oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy and other processes of neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) signal pathway plays an important role in the transmission of intracellular and intracellular signals, and in the regulation of cellular inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, etc. TCM monomers, TCM extracts, and TCM compounds exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and autophagy regulation effects by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to improve cognitive impairment. This review first summarized the composition and regulatory process of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, and then discussed the research progress on the improvement of cognitive impairment through the improvement of oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and autophagy of neurons. Finally, the recent research status of the regulation of this signaling pathway by TCM extracts, TCM monomers and TCM compounds to improve cognitive impairment was summarized. This study provides a theoretical basis for the future study of new TCM related to cognitive impairment.

Objective To analyze the effect of different educational models on oral health education and health promo-tion among middle school students. Methods Junior students from January to June 2011 as the object of study average from 3 middle school in Xixiang street Baoan District were randomly selected, that's each school selected 101 students, and male to female ratio was about 1:1. The students were randomly divided into in three groups, form-teacher model group (group A), mother-model group (group B) and control group (group C). After education, measured the 3 groups students' oral hygiene indexes and gingival indexes before and after 3 months, in order to compare and judge the effect of different educational models. Results According to analyze oral hygiene index, gingival index and mastery of knowl-edge on oral health education and promotion of A,B,C group, group A and B were better after education, but they were worse than group C (P all<0.05). After education in knowledge, passing percent of group A was 89.11%, while group B and C were 72.43% and 52.48%. It was indicated that group A and B were both better than group C (P all < 0.01). Conclusion Form-teacher model and mother-model education on oral health education and promotion are significant results, both of whom are competitive advantage and practical significance in clinical trials.

BACKGROUND:A few of studies have showed similar efficacy and safety between domestic clopidogrel (Talcom?) and imported clopidogrel (Plavix?) in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention, but there is lack of large-scale, large sample, and prospective clinical comparative study in China.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy and safety of Talcom?and Plavix?on percutaneous coronary intervention.
METHODS:Total y 1 798 patients with Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease who received percutaneous coronary interventions were divided to two groups:Talcom?group (n=1 104) and Plavix?group (n=694). 300 mg clopidogrel was administrated oral y before percutaneous coronary intervention fol owed by 75 mg/d clopidogrel sequential y for 1 year. Al the patients were fol owed for 3-28 months to observe the incidence rate of stent thrombosis at acute, subacute, late, and very late stage, major adverse cardiac events of combination end point (including myocardial infarction, cardiac death, and stroke), and correlated adverse reactions, such as bleeding.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no significant differences in the incidence of stent thrombosis, target vessel revascularization, cardiac death, bleeding, major bleeding and major adverse cardiac events of combination end point between Talcom?group and Plavix?group. In addition, event-free survival also showed no difference between the two groups. After treatment, white blood cellcount, erythrocyte count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count were significantly decreased in both the two groups (P<0.05). Hemoglobin level in the Talcom?group was fewer than that in the Plavix?group (P<0.05). The results suggest that effects and safety of Talcom?are similar to those of Plavix?for percutaneous coronary interventions.

Objective To explore the technique of breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Methods 30 cases of patients with breast cancer who were not suitable for breast conservative surgery were sum-marized. Among them, immediate breast reconstruction with prosthetic implants after mastectomy was used in 16 patients, transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap (TRAM flap) in 10 patients, and latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap in 4 patients. There were 27 patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction, while 3 patients underwent delayed breast construction. Results The appearance was good in 16 cases of breast reconstruction with prosthetic implants and no complications were found. Two out of the ten patients who had the transevarse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap (TRAM flap) breast reconstruction had partly necrosis of skin flap, and one lateral ventral syndrome. The appear-ance of the 7 cases after the TRAM flap breast reconstruction evaluated well, 2 cases moderate, and one case less satisfactory. The appearance of 4 patients who had breast reconstruction with latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap evaluated well. Conclusion Breast reconstruction is an important part of combined therapy for the breast cancer, especially for the patients who have strong desire to conserve breast, while incompetence for breast conserving surgery. In such a case breast reconstruction is a good choice. Imme-diate breast reconstruction is better than delayed breast construction. The appropriate method of breast reconstruction depends on each individual patient. Patients with locally advanced breast carcinoma can se-lectively choose immediate breast reconstruction.
