Chinese guidelines for the application of short cognitive tests in the diagnosis of dementia
Dementia is a clinical syndrome characterized by cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60% to 80%. The prevalence rate of dementia in China is 7.2%, which is higher than the global average of 6.2%. The total number of dementia is 15 million, accounting for 1/4 of the world. Among them, AD exceeds 10 million, which is equal to the total number of dementia in developed countries in the world. The prevalence rate increases with age. The prevalence rate is 4% under 65 years old, 15% between 65 and 74 years old, 44% between 75 and 84 years old, and 58% over 85 years old. The prevention and treatment situation is very severe[
Cognitive effectiveness of risperidone and olanzapine in first-episode schizophrenia
To study the impairments of cognitive function in first-episode schizophrenia and the potential effectiveness of risperidone and olanzapine monotherapy on first-episode schizophrenia.
A total of 57 first-episode schizophrenia and 30 healthy controls were assessed at baseline, and patients were assessed again after 8-week antipsychotics therapy.
The positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) reductive ratio between the two groups was similar. At baseline, the performance of schizophrenia patients was significant poor than healthy controls in the four domains of cognitive function (P<0.05); after 8-week′s antipsychotics therapy, the performance of Trail Making Test (t=3.862, P<0.05) and Verbal Learning (t=-3.073, P<0.05) got significant improvements in patients with risperidone, while in group of patients with olanzapine, the performance of Trail Making Test (t=3.587, P<0.05) and working memory domain (t=-2.891, P<0.05) got significant improvements. Spearman correlation analyses suggested that dosage of risperidone was negatively correlated with the score-reducing rate of the performance of Trail Making Test of patients (r=-0.391, P=0.048).
The effects of the two psychotroptic drugs on clinical symptoms and cognitive functions are almost equal. Comprehensive cognitive impairment is found in first-episode schizophrenia, and risperidone and olanzapine could partially improve the performance of cognitive function as well as clinical symptoms. The higher the dosage of risperidone is, the less improvement the patients has in the speed of process domain.
Research of upper arms muscle MRI in patients with Kennedy′s disease
To investigate whether or not the involvement degree of extensor and flexor muscles in patients with Kennedy′s Disease (KD) was different by measuring the diameter of biceps and triceps brachii muscles using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
All the subjects were outpatients or hospitalized patients from Department of Neurology, the Third Hospital of Peking University, 2011-2015. Subjects included 30 KD patients and 30 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. The right upper arms of all subjects were examined by muscle MRI. The diameters of biceps and triceps brachii muscles were measured, then the ratios were calculated. Additionally, the forces of these muscles were recorded.
The ratio of diameters of biceps to triceps brachii muscles were 1.08±0.14 in KD patients and 0.99±0.15 in ALS patients. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The ratio of forces of biceps to triceps were 1.17±0.12 in KD patients and 0.98±0.28 in ALS patients. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). In KD patients, the fatty infiltration was more serious in triceps than biceps. At the same time, in ALS patients, the fatty infiltration was similar in triceps and biceps.
The involvement degree of extensor and flexor muscles in KD patients is different.
Analysis on clinical features and functional MRI of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes
To explore the clinical and perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) characteristics of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) in order to improve the early diagnosis rate.
Clinical and imaging data of 46 patients with final diagnosis of MELAS treated in Henan Province People′s Hospital from January 2012 to June 2016 were collected.
Patients presented with symptoms of epilepsy, hemiplegia, language disorders, and decreased visual acuity and so on. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the lesion area showed a high signal, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) chart with the course of disease development can be a high signal, low signal, high and low signal. Vascular stenosis was not seen in all the patients by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). PWI perfusion increased in acute phase and was normal or decreased in the chronic phase.
The clinical manifestations of MELAS patients are complex and various, and lack of specificity. Routine MRI examination is of great significance for the screening of the lesion, which has a characteristic performance and is helpful to improve the early diagnosis rate of the disease.
Application evaluation of multi-parametric MRI in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of early prostate cancer and prostatitis
To evaluate the value of multi-parametric MRI (Mp-MRI) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of early prostate cancer(PCa) in the peripheral zone(PZ) and low T2WI signal intensity of prostatitis.
A total of 40 patients with PZ early PCa and 37 with prostatitis of hypointense T2WI signal in PZ were retrospectively analyzed, which were collected from the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from Janurary 2009 to June 2015, who underwent T2WI, DWI, and DCE-MRI examination and all patients were confirmed by pathology. All the data was transferred to GE Advanced Workstation AW4.3, the indexes divided into cancerous and prostatitis regions were calculated by Functool2 of signal intensity-time(SI-T) curve and ADC value, to calcuate the time to minimum(Tmax), the whole enhancment degree (SImax). ROC cure was used to determine the cutoff value for PCa detection with the ADC value.
On T2WI, 57.5% of PCa (23/40) showed focal nodular homogeneous low signal intensity, 70.3% of prostatitis(26/37) showed diffuse inhomogeneous low signal intensity. DCE-MRI, the distribution of curve types for malignant tumors was type Ⅰ 2.5%(1/40), typeⅡ32.5%(13/40) and type Ⅲ 65.0% (26/40). While the numbers for prostatitis was type Ⅰ 16.2%(6/37) , type Ⅱ 56.8% (21/37) and type Ⅲ 27.0% (10/37)respectively.The patterns of curve types in malignant lesions were different from benign lesions significantly(χ2 =12.32, P<0.01). The mean values of Tmax, SImax in cancerous and prostatitis regions were (17.96±2.91)s, 1.76%±0.23% and (21.19±3.59)s, 1.53%±0.18%, respectively (t=5.37, 6.10; P<0.01). On DWI, The mean ADC values in cancerous and prostatitis regions were (0.95±0.13)×10-3 mm2/s and (1.12±0.13)×10-3 mm2/s, respectively (t=7.10, P<0.01). According to the ROC analysis, when the cutoff value was 1.01×10-3 mm2/s, the early PCa of diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy was 79.1%, 72.7% and 76.1% respectively.
Combined with morphology and signal characteristics of conventional T2WI, DWI and DCE-MRI improve the power of MR imaging in discriminating prostatitis from early PCa.
Transarterial chemoembolization combined with cryoablation for unresectable large hepatocellular carcinoma: a controlled study
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with cryoablation in patients with unresectable large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
A total of 122 patients with unresectable large HCC admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between November 2011 and July 2015 were retrospectively involved.The patients were divided into study group (58 patients who underwent TACE combined with cryoablation) and control group (64 patients who underwent TACE alone). Short-term effect of the initial treatment, long-term effect, prognostic factors for survival and adverse reactions were statistically analyzed.
There was no statistical difference in general information between two groups. The effective rates of the study and control group were 29.3% and 10.9% (P=0.011), and the control rates were 79.3% and 62.5% (P=0.042). The median survival time was 11.0 months (95% CI 7.4-14.6) for the study group and 5.0 months (95% CI 4.0-6.0) for the control group, the 6-, 12-, and 18-month overall survival rates for the study and control group were 84.5%, 49.5%, 26.8% and 48.1%, 17.8%, 11.1%, respectively (all P<0.01). On multivariate analysis, negative distant metastasis, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer B-stage, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio ≤5, alpha fetoprotein<400 μg/L, combined treatment and effective initial treatment were independent protective factors for survival of patients with large HCC.
The prognosis of patients with unresectable large HCC is affected by multiple factors. In comparison with TACE alone, TACE combined with cryoablation has advantage in both short-term and long-term effect with low incidence of serious adverse reactions, it is an effective and safe treatment option for patients with unresectable large HCC.
Study on the impact of labro-chondral complex on development of the acetabulum after close reduction in developmental dysplasia of the hip
To explore the influence of the labro-chondral complex (LLC) on the development of the acetabulum after close reduction in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
Sixty-one cases (72 hips) with DDH presented in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were reviewed, all the patients were treated by closed reduction, arthrogram and Spica casting from March 2010 to December 2013. The anterior-posterior pelvic radiography was performed to evaluate the morphology of the labro-chondral complex and reduction of the hip. The cases were divided into Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ four groups according to the shape of the LLC initially, and when performed the secondary Spica cast after 3 months, these cases were divided into 0-0.4, 0.4-0.6, and >0.6, three groups based on the height difference ratio (HDR) of the LLC. The relationship between the shape and HDR of the LLC was analyzed. The AI and CE angle were used to evaluate development of the hip during the latest follow up. The impact of the shape and HDR of the LLC on the development of the acetabulum was explored as well.
The HDR was the least in the type Ⅰ hips, all cases were less than 0.6, the AI in this group was significantly lower than the others(24.33°±3.12°), and the CE angle was significantly higher in the type Ⅰ hips(15.22°±3.11°) during the latest follow up. The CE angle was significantly different among the three groups of HDR. The HDR was lower, the CE angle was higher. The AI in 0-0.4 group was significantly lower than the others(14.24°±3.10°).
The shape of the LLC is helpful to judge development of the acetabulum when closed reduction was performed in DDH. And the HDR in the secondary cast change could be used as a sensitive index to predict development of the hip.
Comparison of mid-term surgical results between plate and intramedullary nail for humeral shaft fracture
To evaluate the mid-term clinical efficacy of plate and intramedullary nail for humeral shaft fracture.
In this retrospective study a total of 122 patients with humeral shaft fracture were divided into 2 groups according to surgery type from May 2010 to July 2012. There were 63 patients in plate group and 59 patients in intramedullary nail group. The factors related to the operation for each group were compared respectively. The clinical outcome was evaluated by the Neer scores, Myao scores and EuroQol 5 dimensions scores (EQ-5D). All the patients were followed up periodically in the next 3 years.
There were no significant differences between the two groups on hospital stay and time of returning to work (P>0.05). While the operation time, amount of intraoperative blood loss and complication rate were less in intramedullary nail group. The mean follow-up duration was (41.2±4.2) months in plate group and (42.1±4.7) months in intramedullary nail group respectively. At the last follow-up the postoperative Neer scores, Myao scores and EQ-5D scores showed no significant differences between the 2 groups[Neer: (93.8±6.1) vs(92.1±4.2); Myao: (94.9±2.9) vs(96.2±1.5),P>0.05]. There were no cases complicated with nonunion, delayed union, infection and deformity during the follow-up period.
The mid-term outcome of open reduction and internal fixation with plate and close reduction with intramedullary nail for humeral shaft fracture is satisfactory. Although both surgeries are safe and effective, they also have some defaults. The doctors should choose the right surgery carefully according to the actual situation of the patients.

Surgical treatment of pituitary adenomas in childhood and adolescence
To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment of pituitary adenomas of childhood and adolescence.
Thisarticle was a retrospective study of 140 pituitary adenomas of childhood and adolescence that was admitted into Peking Union Medical College Hospital from December 1987 to December 2014, whose clinical manifestations, hormone secretions, images, pathological types, surgical complications and follow-ups were studied.
A total of 58 (41.4%) males and 82 females (58.6%) were included, whose mean age was 12.5 years old (age range from 7 to 18). As for the type of tumors, ACTH adenoma, PRL adenoma, GH adenoma, non-functional adenoma and multiple-secreting adenoma accounted for 35.7%, 25.7%, 12.2%, 25.7% and 0.7%, respectively. Microadenoma accounted for 33.6% of total patients, while macroadenoma and giant adenoma accounted for 60.0% and 6.4% respectively. 19.3% of adenomas in our study wereinvasive. Transsphenoidal approach surgery was commonly used and accounted for 97.9% of cases in our study, 2 of which used intraoperative navigation assistance. Total resection was achieved in 93.6% of patients, and the rest achieved subtotal resection. 108 (77.1%) patients got full term follow-up until 1 year after surgery, and tumor recurred in 14 patients (13.0%).
ACTH-secreting adenoma is the most common pituitary adenoma in childhood and adolescence which need surgical treatment. Transsphenoidal approach surgery is the most commonly used surgical procedure. The recurrence rate is about 13%, and the patients need regular examination of pituitary hormones and image study to confirm the recurrence.
The prognosis of Monochorionic co-twin after single intrauterine fetal demise
To analyze the prognosis of surviving monochorionic co-twin after single intrauterine fetal demise (sIUFD).
Retrospectively analyzed the twin pregnancy cases admitted in Peking University Third Hospital between Jan 2008 and Feb 2015. We recorded perinatal characteristics, neuroimage in co-twin, and followed up the neonatal outcome.
47 cases were found, including 45 cases of monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) and 2 cases of monochorionic monoamniotic (MCMA). Median gestational age at sIUFD was 27 weeks.Median interval between sIUFD and birth was 3.3 weeks.Median gestational age at birth was 34.2 weeks.The causes of sIUFD were: MCMA (2/47, 4.3%), sIUGR (11/47, 23.4%), twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) (16/47, 34.0%) or TTTS complicated with sIUGR (3/47, 6.4%). In the sIUGR pregnancies, sIUFD occurred all in the growth-restricted fetus.In the TTTS pregnancies, sIUFD always occurred in donors (15/16, 93.8%). There were 41 (87.2%) live-born co-twins.Among the live births, fetal cranial ultrasound showed that 7 neonatus got intraventricular hemorrhage.There were 6 neonatus dead in first 28 days.All of the 35 survivors whose follow up from 12 to 70 months, responses were all received and nobody had cerebral palsy.
sIUFD always occurred in the growth-restricted fetus and the donor-twins. There was nobody had cerebral palsy in the survivors.
Interferon α sensitizes human osteosarcoma cells to doxorubicin-induced apoptosis through p53-dependent pathway
To investigate the effect of IFNα on doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in human osteosarcoma cells with its molecular mechanisms to provide evidences for improving the treatment of osteosarcoma.
Osteosacoma U2OS and MG63 cells were treated with IFNα and Doxorubicin, alone or in combination, for 72 h . Cytotoxicity was determined with MTT. Apoptosis was evaluated through fluorescence-activated cell sorting, Hoechst33258 staining and DNA ladder assay. The expression of p53, Bax, Bcl-2, Mdm2, p21, caspase-3 and PARP was determined with Western blot. siRNA interference was used to silence p53.
IFNα treatment for 72 h did not induce cytotoxicity but greatly enhanced doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis in p53-wild U2OS cells but not p53-mutant MG63 cells. Compared with other groups, the combination of IFNα and doxorubicin induced more obvious apoptotic morphological changes and DNA ladder. IFNα did not alter the expression of the indicate genes. The expression of p53, Bax, Mdm2 and p21 was up-regulated by doxorubicin and further increased in response to combination. The expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated by doxorubicin and further decreased in response to combination.There were no differences among groups in MG63 cells. The expression of p53 was effectively blocked by p53-siRNA in U2OS cells. The p53 silencing greatly reduced the cytotoxicity mediated by combination for 72 h, compared with non- and control-siRNA groups. The activation of caspase-3 and PARP mediated by combination was largely suppressed by p53 silence.
IFNα sensitizes human osteosarcoma cells to doxorubicin-induced apoptosis through p53-dependent pathway. The combination of IFNα and traditional chemotherapy can be used in osteosarcoma treatment.
Effect of quorum sensing system on the infection of MRSA and the intervention of erythromycin on it
To investigate the destructive effects of erythromycin on biofilm of MRSA and find the effect of erythromycin on QS related factors.
Tested the MBC of erythromycin on MRSA.Established the model of biofilm.Erythromycin was added into the medium when bacteria were inoculated for 24 h. Tested the biofilm and collected the supernatant or serum of rat at 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 h and 7 d after adding erythromycin to detect the concentration of autoinducing peptides (AIP).
The MBC of the erythromycin on standard strains of MRSA was 256 g/L.There is a decreasing tendency of biofilm in a short time after adding erythromycin or TSB and then gradually increase until to a steady state. Biofilm of experimental group(1.348, 1.236, 1.667)were significantly less than the control group(1.789, 1.712, 2.349, P<0.05)at 12, 24, 48 h. Adding erythromycin to the mature biofilm, there was a significant decrease of biofilm.Adding erythromycin within 3 hours after inoculating bacteria, there was no bacterial growth or biofilm formation. The development trend of AIP was similar with biofilm and AIP happened earlier than biofilm.With the intervention of erythromycin, AIP of experimental group(0.891 5, 0.853 9, 0.792 4)were significantly less than the control group(1.023 7, 1.061 6, 1.034 7,P<0.05)at 6, 24, 48 h.
Adding erythromycin timely before biofilm formation, then bacteria were killed effectively.Erythromycin was able to destroy biofilm. Biofilm was inhibited by AIP obviously.To some extent, erythromycin can inhibit the synthesis or secretion of AIP.
Prognostic significance of systematic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer: a Meta-analysis
To investigate the survival impact of systematic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy (SL) and unsystematic lymphadenectomy (USL) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.
Randomized control trial (RCT) and observational studies about the effects of SL and USL on patients with epithelial ovarian cancer were searched in major online databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The literature search was performed up to January 2016. The results were analyzed using RevMan 5.0 software.
Totally 14 studies including 1 634 patients in SL group and 1 719 patients in USL group were enrolled. Three of the 14 studies were RCTs, and the other 11 were observational studies. Meta analysis showed that SL was a favorable factor for 5-year overall survival rate (5-OS) compared with USL[RR=0.89, 95% CI (0.81, 0.97), P=0.007]. However, the efficacy of SL on increased 5-OS could not be determined in all type of studies owing to the result of RCTs[RR=0.99, 95% CI (0.85, 1.15), P=0.90], whereas SL improved 5-OS of patients in observational studies[RR=0.84, 95% CI (0.76, 0.93), P=0.001]. Moreover, SL increased 5-OS in patients with early stage (FIGO Ⅰ-Ⅱ) disease comparing with USL[RR=0.78, 95% CI (0.61, 0.99), P=0.04], as well as it could improve 5-OS statistically in advanced stage (FIGO Ⅲ-Ⅳ) disease[RR=0.90, 95% CI (0.82, 0.99), P=0.03]. But analysis on patients with optimal debulking surgery showed that SL could not improve 5-OS of these patients, regardless of early stage[RR=0.71, 95% CI (0.43, 1.17), P=0.18]or advanced stage[RR=1.01, 95% CI (0.90, 1.14), P=0.86].
The impact of SL on the survival of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer is still extremely controversial, which requires more relevant RCTs. In patients with optimal debulking surgery, SL could hardly improve the survival.
