Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shuang Huang-lian Injection for treatment of pneumonia.Methods: Searches were applied to the following electronic databases: the CNKI,Wanfang,vip,CBM,PubMed and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register(CENTRAL)(1990 to 2010). Literatures regarding randomized clinical trials of Shuang Huang-lian Injection in treating pneumonia were reviewed.According to the inclusion standard and the elimination standard,related literatures were selected and analyzed according to the different intervention measures of the trials.The treatment group of Shuang Hang-lian Injection(Shuang Hang-lian Injection+the western medicine convention treatment)compared with the western medicine convention treatment;The treatment group of Shuang Hang-lian Injection(Shuang Hang-lian Injection + the western medicine convention treatment)compared with the treatment group of Tan Re-qing Injection(Tan Re-qing Injection+the western medicine convention treatment). Relative data was collected and the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0 was used for data analysis.Results:eight randomized trials conformed to the inclusion criteria were reviewed.Meta analysis results demonstrated that compared with the western medicine convention treatment the treatment group of Shuang Hang-lian Injection,the effective rate odds ratios(OR) was 3.97,and the 95% credibility interval(CI) was [2.02,7.81];the cure rate OR was3.78,and the 95% CI was [2.09,6.83];the weighted mean difference(WMD) of the time of disappearing of moist rales was-1.37,and the 95% CI was [-1.76,-0.98]. The WMD of the time of X-ray Back to Normal was-1.40,and the 95% CI was [-2.73,-0.08]. Compared with the treatment group of Tan Re-qing Injection the treatment group of Shuang Hang-lian Injection demonstrated that the effective rate(OR) was 0.43,and the 95% CI was[0.19,0.96]. The indices mentioned above have significant difference.Serious systematic adverse reaction had not been reported related the clinical practice of Shuang Hang-lian Injection.Conclusion: Shuang Hang-lian Injection has good clinical efficacy includingthe integrated effect,the time of disappearing of moist rales and X-ray Back to Normal in supplementary treatment of pneumonia.There were no serious adverse reactions.Limited by the quality of the inclusive literatures,more high quality of trials need to be further analyzed.
Percutaneous Drainage with Ultrasound Guidance in the Intensive Care Unit

Purpose: To determine the efficacy and safety of bedside percutaneous drainage procedures with ultrasound guidance in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Materials and Methods: Sixty five percutaneous drainage procedures performed at the bedside, in 39 ICU patients, were evaluated. All of the procedures were performed with ultrasound guidance alone. The procedures consisted of percutaneous drainage of abdominal (n=35) and pleural (n=27) fluids, percutaneous cholecystostomy (n=2) and percutaneous nephrostomy (n=1). The clinical responses were classified as 'complete response', 'partial response', 'failure' or 'undetermined'. The medical records were reviewed retrospectively to evaluate the clinical response. Results: Technical success was achieved in 64 of the 65 procedures (98.5%). The complication rate was 13.8% (9 cases). There was no immediate procedure-related death or worsening of the clinical condition of the patients. The clinical responses after drainage were 'complete response' in 39 cases (60.9%), 'partial response' in 14 (21.9%), 'failure' in 3 (4.7%), and 'undetermined' in 8 (12.5%). Conclusion: Bedside drainage procedures with ultrasound guidance are effective and safe to perform when patients are too critically ill to be moved from the ICU to the angiography room.
CREATING FALSE MEMORIES WITH PHONOLOGICALLY-REFATED WORDS UNDER FOCUSED AND DIVIDED ATTENTIORL CONDITIONS

Three experiments investigated the possibility of creating false memories using lists of phonologically-related Farsi words and under conditions of focused and divided attention(at retrieval). In Experiments 1 and 2 with normal children and adults as participants, considerable rates of false recall and false recognition were observed under both focused and divided attention conditions. In Experiment 3 with 12 amnesic elderly participants, false memories were low under focused and moderate under divided attention. The results indicate that phonologically associated words like semantically associated ones may lead to false memories. The findings are discussed in terms of the activation models.

A Radiographic Analysis of Sagittal Spinal Alignment for the Standardization of Standing Lateral Position

Purpose: To analyze the difference in sagittal balance based on different positions of both arms and to promote the proper lateral spine view which can reconstruct the most functional posture of sagittal balance. Materials and Methods: We applied X-rays to thirty healthy male adults with no spinal diseases after application of marks on the skin surface at the location of the C7 and S1 vertebrae with the following five postures, standing lateral position with both arms neutral (posture A) with both shoulders flexed thirty degrees and ninety degrees (postures B and C) with both arms crossed (posture D) with both shoulders flexed ninety degrees and with both arms on a parallel bar (posture E). We analyzed the differences of the sagittal vertical axis, thoracic kyphotic angle, lumbar lordotic angle, and sacral inclination angle after the postural changes. Results: The average sagittal vertical axis value from posture A to E was 1.472. 06 cm, -0.582. 96 cm, -2.112. 67 cm, 0.162. 38 cm, and -0.512. 70 cm. We discovered that five postures were statistically different (one-way ANOVA, p

Objective Report the clinical result of SRS for pituitary adenoma.Methods 18 selected pituitary tumors were treated with SRS between Aug 1994 to Aug 1998.The median tumor diameter was 10mm,median SRS target volum was 1.37mm\+3,median margine target dose was 20Gy.Results The median follow\|up period was 47 months,87.5% cases obtained clinical improvement and 78.5% obtained hormone level lowered,37.5% show reduction of tumor size,only 1 PRL\|producing adenoma received reoperation for tumor progression.Conclusion The most important advantage of SRS is low treatment morbidity,it offers an alternative option for patients who do not require decompression of the optic apparatus or more rapid normalization of their endocrine status or for patients who have failed prior microsurgery.SRS is suitable for the patients who are poor candidates for general anesthesia due to concomitant systemic medical diseases.
Observation of Sini Decoction on Myocardial Apoptosis Induced by Ischemia/Reperfusion and Its Mechanism

Objective:To explore the apoptosis in the model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion and the protective mechanism of Sini Decoc tion(SND). Methods:Kuming mice were randomly divided into SND group,the model group and normal group.DNA ladder was observed in myocardial cells.Activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD),content of malondialdehyde(MDA),Bcl-2 protein,activity of Caspase-3 were determined.Gene transcription of Bcl-2 protein and Caspase-3 were also determined.Results:DNA ladder appeared in the model group with severe oxidative injury and increased apoptosis index.SND could reduce oxidative injury caused by apoptosis. Bcl-2 protein expression increased in the model group and increased more significantly in SND group.The same results could be seen in mRNA transcription.Obviously increased Caspase-3 in the model group was significantly inhibited in SND group.No obvious change in mRNA transcription was found.Conclusion:Myocardial cell apoptosis exists in the ischemia/reperfusion model.The re- duced occurrence of apoptosis by SND might be through improving the anti-oxidative capability of the organism,increasing Bcl-2 pro- tein expression,inhibiting activation of Caspase-3.
Effect of Aloe-emodin on Learning and Memory Functions in Mice with Dementia

The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro inhibitory activity of aloe-emodin on cholinesterase and the in vivo effect of aloe-emodin on cholinesterase activity in the brain, extent of spatial and object recognition, as well as learning and memory ability in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease(AD). In vitro cholinesterase inhibitory activity was measured by the Ellman's colorimetric method, while in vivo effect was assessed by using a mouse model of scopolamine-induced dysmnesia. Mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal group, model group, huperzine A positive-control group, and aloe-emodin group. The learning and memory ability was measured by using the Morris water-maze. The ameliorating effect due to aloe-emodin was measured by using behavioral experimentation(water-maze task) and brain cholinesterase activity as indicators. Aloe-emodin was found to effectively inhibit cholinesterase activity in vitro(IC50 = 18.37 μg/m L). Compared with the model group, aloe-emodin showed a significant decrease in escape latency, an increase in swimming time in the target quadrant, a reduction in brain cholinesterase activity, and an improvement in the learning and memory ability of the animal model. Thus, aloe-emodin was shown to ameliorate learning and memory deficit induced by scopolamine in mice, and the underlying mechanism may be related to inhibition of cholinesterase activity.
An efficient DoG based fingerprint enhancement scheme

This paper focuses on fingerprint image enhancement techniques through histogram equalization applied locally on the degraded image. The proposed work is based on the Laplacian pyramid framework that decomposes the input image into a number of band-pass images to improve the local contrast, as well as the local edge information. The resultant image is passed through the regular methodologies of fingerprint, like ridge orientation, ridge frequency calculation, filtering, binarization and finally the morphological operation thinning. Experiments using different texture of images are conducted to enhance the images and to show a comparative result in terms of number of minutiae extracted from them along with the spurious and actual number existing in each enhanced image. Experimental results outperform the existing fingerprint enhancement techniques and prove the suitability of the proposed method.
Textbooks and Test Scores: Evidence from a Prospective Evaluation in Kenya Work-in-Progress

Although there is intense debate about the effect of increased expenditure on education in developed countries, there is widespread consensus that provision of textbooks can substantially increase test scores in developing countries. This paper evaluates a program through which a Dutch non-profit organization provided textbooks to 25 rural Kenyan primary schools that were chosen randomly from a group of 100 candidate schools. After one school year, average test scores did not differ substantially between program and comparison schools. However, for those students in the top quintile of the distribution of initial academic achievement, the program raised test scores by at least 0.2 standard deviations. 1 This project was a joint undertaking of many people.

The Closure of the Psychiatric Hospital as an Original Feature of Rehabilitation in Italy

Abstract: In this introduction to a special issue on psychosocial rehabilitation in Italy its context is identified in the closure of psychiatric hospitals since 1978 and in the construction of a system based on community psychiatry and on outpatient services. The particular characteristics of psychiatric rehabilitation in Italy, its strengths and its limitations are then analyzed on different grounds, and some of the key reasons for these limits are then proposed in the evolution of Italian society and in a lack of transformation in the psychiatric identity.
Subcortical Ischemic Vascular Dementia

Subcortical ischemic vascular dementia (SIVD) is a subtype of vascular cognitive impairment. The syndrome is defi ned clinically by cognitive impairment and evidence of subcortical cerebral ischemia. SIVD has been recognized as lacunar state, strategic infarct dementia, and Binswanger syndrome. Prominent dysexecutive syndrome, slightly decreased working memory, and impairment of abstract reasoning are associated with lacunes and deep white matter changes. High priority should be given to reducing vascular risk profi les for prevention of SIVD.

A Sociopolitical Perspective to Understand When and Why Supervisors Endorse and Implement Employees’ Suggested Changes

A Sociopolitical Perspective to Understand When and Why Supervisors Endorse and Implement Employees’ Suggested Changes Huaizhong Chen When employees make suggestions for changes to their supervisors, they are providing raw materials potentially critical to the organization’s continuous improvement and adaptation. However, research suggests that supervisors do not always react favorably to employee voice behavior. The purpose of this study is to unravel the mediating and moderating mechanisms that can explain when and why employee voice behavior leads to supervisor endorsement and implementation. Specifically, taking a sociopolitical perspective, I argued that supervisor motive attributions for employee voice behavior can explain the extent to which supervisors endorse and subsequently implement employee voice. Furthermore, I argued that the mediating effects of supervisor motive attributions in the relationship between employee voice behavior and supervisor voice endorsement are moderated by employee political skills in the first stage of the mediating path (i.e., from voice behavior to supervisor motive attributions) and by supervisor perceived instrumentality of implementing employee voice in the second stage of the mediating path (i.e., from supervisor motive attributions to supervisor endorsement). Through a three-wave, multi-source field study, I first found that employee voice behavior is positively related to both supervisor prosocial and self-serving motive attributions for employee voice. Second, I found that employee political skills significantly moderate the relationship between employee voice behavior and supervisor prosocial motive attribution in an unexpected pattern, while employee political skills do not moderate the relationship between employee voice and supervisor selfserving motive attribution. Third, I found that supervisor prosocial motive attribution is positively associated with supervisor voice endorsement, whereas supervisor self-serving motive attribution has no significant effect on voice endorsement. Fourth, I found that supervisor perceived instrumentality of implementing employee voice significantly moderates the effect of supervisor prosocial motive attribution on voice endorsement in an unexpected manner while supervisor perceived instrumentality significantly moderates the effect of supervisor self-serving motive attribution on voice endorsement as predicted. Finally, I found that supervisor voice endorsement is significantly associated with voice implementation. Although a few of the hypothesized relationships were inconsistent with what was originally predicted, the study findings revealed some interesting and novel interactive patterns. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings were discussed.
Investigation and Analysis on mild cognitive impaiment among the elderly in the communities of Taicang city

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of mild cognitive impairment(MCI) in the el derly in Taicang city.Methods MoCA version questionnaire and general health questionnaire were investigated in the elderly of three communities selected by cluster sampling from the city.MCI criteria included:(1) memory loss for 6 months;(2) with a score lower than 7,15,19 in elderly receiving illiterate,primary,secondary and above education respectively.Results The prevalence of MCI was 18.29%. MCI was significantly related to gender,age,occupation,social activities,hobbies,physical exercise(P0.05),but not to education level,diabetes,high blood pressure,smoking,drinking(P0.05). Conclusions Age,gender,different careers would affect the development of MCI.Participating social activities,establishing hobbies and carrying out physical exercise are protective factors of MCI.
The Current Definitions of Health-Care Associated Infections in Intensive Care Units

The incidence of nosocomial infections is higher than other sites of the hospitals at intensive care units (ICUs) because of high frequency of invasive interventions and multidrug resistant microorganism’s prevalence. The most frequent nosocomial infections in ICUs’ are ventilator-related pneumoniae, urinary tract infections, catheter-related bacteremia and surgical site infections. The definitions of health care associated infections and the diagnosis criteria were updated at 2008 by CDC/NHSN (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/National Healthcare Safety Network). After this period, Public Health Agency of Turkey translated this guideline to Turkish and publicated it. The aim of this study to discuss the definitions of health care associated infections in the lightening of current guidelines.
Occult Hypoxemia During Aeromedical Transport: Detection by Pulse Oximetry

Abstract The use of pulse oximetry as an adjunct to clinical evaluation of oxygenation during aeromedical transport by helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft was evaluated. As evidenced by an oxygen saturation of 90% or less, 29 of 150 patients (29%) were hypoxemic in the presence of the flight team. Airway interventions were carried out by the flight team in 17 of these 29 hypoxemic patients. In 11 of these 17 instances, desaturation noted by pulse oximeter was the first evidence that airway interventions were indicated. In the other 12 cases of hypoxemia, no new airway interventions were carried out despite oximeter evidence of desaturation. Three of these patients subsequently required aggressive airway interventions following their arrival at the receiving emergency department. Of the 32 patients transported by fixed-wing aircraft, 27% had evidence of unsuspected hypoxemia detected only by the pulse oximeter. The hypoxemia seemed related to increasing altitude in eight of this latter group. Pulse oximetry is a valuable and feasible technique for monitoring patients during aeromedical transport. Its use may allow detection of physiologic hypoxemia before such becomes apparent clinically.
