To study the efficacy of tandospirone citrate in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with anxiety. Thirty mild-to-moderate AD patients with anxiety symptoms were randomly divided into a monotherapy group (donepezil) and a combination therapy group (donepezil and tandospirone). The treatment lasted for 12 weeks. Drug efficacy was regularly assessed using psychological assessment scales and quantitative pharmaco-electroencephalogram (QPEEG) power spectral analysis. After 12 weeks of treatment, the mean Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score and mean Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) score of the combination therapy group were 5.13±4.18 and 4.2±5.0, respectively, which was significantly lower compared to baseline and the monotherapy group (all P<0.05). The mean attention score on the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog) was 0.07±0.26 for the combination group, which was significantly lower than that of the monotherapy group (P<0.05). QPEEG revealed that the power values of the δ wave in the right prefrontal lobe, left middle temporal lobe and right posterior temporal lobe decreased in the combination therapy group but not in the monotherapy group. Similarly, the power values of the α2 wave in the right parietal, right posterior temporal and left middle temporal lobes, and the β1 wave power values of left middle temporal and left posterior temporal lobes were also significantly decreased in the combination therapy group, but not in the monotherapy group. Tandospirone citrate can significantly improve anxiety symptoms and attention in patients with mild to moderate AD. QPEEG examination might provide a objective way for the efficacy of the tandospirone in anxiety symptoms of the patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory impairment. Previous studies have largely focused on alterations of static brain activity occurring in patients with AD. Few studies to date have explored the characteristics of dynamic brain activity in cognitive impairment, and their predictive ability in AD patients. One hundred and eleven AD patients, 29 MCI patients, and 73 healthy controls (HC) were recruited. The dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (dALFF) and the dynamic fraction amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (dfALFF) were used to assess the temporal variability of local brain activity in patients with AD or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/nvl-655.html Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated between the metrics and subjects' behavioral scores. The results of analysis of variance indicated that the AD, MCI, and HC groups showed significant variability of dALFF in the cerebellar posterior and middle temporal lobes. In AD patients, these blt mode network (DMN), which regulate cognition and emotion in AD. The findings above indicate that the analysis of dALFF and dfALFF based on functional magnetic resonance imaging data may give a new insight into the neurophysiological mechanisms of AD. Although there are many COVID-19 case series studies, few studies report the relationship between variations in blood cell parameters and inflammatory factors and disease severity. This study aims to describe the dynamic trends in COVID-19 blood cell parameters and inflammatory factors. Ninety-two patients with confirmed COVID-19 at Jingzhou Central Hospital, Hubei Province, China, between January 23, 2020, and April 10, 2020, were enrolled. Epidemiological data, clinical information, and laboratory test results were collected and analyzed. As patient age increased, disease severity increased (P<0.0001). The inflammatory factor C-reactive protein (CRP) showed a gradual increasing trend with disease aggravation. Based on dynamic change graphs, CRP in all patients with severe and critical COVID-19 initially increased and then decreased; however, CRP in patients with a good prognosis did not increase again after the initial decline (<20 mg/L). CRP in patients with a poor prognosis returned to a high level (>50 mg/L) 1 week after the initial decrease and continued to fluctuate at a high level. Lymphocyte count (LYM#) in patients with severe and critical disease was significantly lower (<1×10 /L) than that in patients with moderate disease; LYM# was significantly increased 3 weeks after disease onset in patients with a good prognosis (>1×10 /L), but patients with a poor prognosis continued to have a low LYM#. CRP and LYM# showed strong correlation with disease progression, suggesting that these parameters could be used to monitor changes in patient condition.

Total auricular reconstruction is a challenge for plastic surgeons. Expanded flap method and Nagata's method with autologous costal cartilage are two leading techniques for ear reconstruction. And a two-stage strategy of expanded flap method received attention. In the present study, we report the incision and flap design of this strategy. In the first stage, an 80 mL kidney-shaped expander was inserted in the mastoid region with the larger pole superiorly. The expander pocket was dissected subcutaneously in the scalp area and subfascially in the lower third region. In the second stage, the expander was removed from a Y-shaped lobule incision on the remanent ear. Then the remnant ear was separated into three flaps the posterior skin flap, anterior skin flap, and lobule flap. When the framework was fabricated, the base frame and the underlying pad, which enhanced the projection, were fixed together as a whole to provide a more prominent appearance. The framework was totally wrapped into the expanded single to avoid necrosis and an extra operation.
