Forward and backward digit span difficulties in children with specific learning disorder

This study examined performance in the forward and backward digit span task of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Fourth Edition (WISC–IV) in a large group of children with specific learning disorder (SLD) as compared with a group of typically developing children matched for age and sex. Our results further support the hypothesis that the intellectual difficulties of children with SLD involve working memory in the forward digit span task to a greater extent than in the backward digit span task. The correlation of the two spans with a General Ability Index (GAI) was similar in SLD, and smaller in magnitude than in typically developing children. Despite a GAI within normal range, children with SLD had difficulty with both digit span tasks, but more so for forward span. This pattern was similar for different SLD profiles with clinical diagnoses of dyslexia and mixed disorder, but the impairments were more severe in the latter. Age differences were also investigated, demonstrating larger span impairment in older children with SLD than in younger.     

《伤寒要旨药方》作者与版本考

《伤寒要旨药方》始刊于1171年,上下二卷,上卷《伤寒药方》,下卷《伤寒要旨》。作者李柽,字与几,宋当涂(今安徽当涂县)姑孰人。北宋末宣和间(1119~1125)进士,南宋绍兴(1131~1149)间迁监察御史。曾仕尚书左司郎。因忤秦桧意,左迁信州,以饶州知州致仕。是书为南宋乾道七年所刻,但是有人以疑似之语怀疑可能为明刻者。通过考证认为,《伤寒要旨药方》从1171年至今,从未翻刻排印。

编辑思想的价值取向

世界文明史上一切优良的编辑传统，都是构建当代编辑思想的基础。编辑出版业作为文化建设和精神文明建设的重要阵地，广泛而持久地影响着人们的理想信念、思想境界、文化传承和知识积累。在科学发展、文化创新的21世纪，建立现代编辑思想既是时代发展的要求，也是编辑实现自我更新、传播先进文化、承载人类文明的历史重任。纵观我国编辑出版史，编辑思想的价值取向主要表现为“注重编辑活动内容和形式的创新”、“不以名家而以质量定稿件取舍标准”、“制定并坚守出版理念”以及“热情真挚的读者服务精神”。     

按镜像辨证中药治疗溃疡性结肠炎的临床研究

采用按镜像辨证中药治疗慢性非特异性溃疡性结肠炎(UC)30例,并与传统的脉症辨证中药治疗慢性非特异性溃疡性结肠炎30例进行对照。结果治疗组临床治愈率为30.00%,总有效率96.67%,与对照组无显著差异。治疗后治疗组各项观察指标积分较对照组有显著差异,说明按镜像辨证中药治疗慢性非特异性溃疡性结肠炎在改善UC临床症状和局部组织阳性体征方面有明显疗效。镜像辨证提高了辨证的客观性和准确性,并具有临床意义。     

电子阴道镜检查在宫颈癌筛查中的临床价值

目的:评价电子阴道镜在宫颈癌筛查诊断中的价值及临床意义。方法:对860例妇科患者进行电子阴道镜检查,并在阴道镜下定点组织活检。结果:860例电子阴道镜检查结果中,发现异常90例,异常率为10.5%。其中50例为CIN I级,28例为CINII级~Ⅲ级,12例为宫颈癌。镜下定位活检送病理诊断确诊CIN I级45例,CINII级-Ⅲ级26例,宫颈癌12例,确诊率分别为90%、92.9%和100%。结论:电子阴道镜检查是提高宫颈癌筛查诊断率的重要手段。     

山田业广《千金要方读书记》初探

山田业广是江户中末期日本著名的汉方医学考据学专家、文献学家，《千金要方读书记》是其代表著作之一。山田业广以江户医学馆模刻宋版《千金要方》作为底本，取元刊本、正德本、万历本、嘉靖本、手抄真本等为校本，对《千金要方》进行研究并完成《千金要方读书记》的撰写。以上几种版本是当时乃至现在所存《千金要方》之最善者，具有较高的文献价值。山田业广在《千金要方读书记》中运用熟稔的考据学知识，对《千金要方》进行精良的考证，纠正讹误、阐发文义、判断俗字等方面为其所得；但新颖见解较少，并存在误校误训之处。     

Prenatal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of right aortic arch with mirror image branching and retroesophageal left ductus arteriosus

Objective: To evaluate the utility of fetal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing right aortic arch with mirror image branching and retroesophageal left ductus arteriosus (RLDA).

Methods: This retrospective study included six infants diagnosed with right aortic arch with mirror image branching and RLDA postnatally by cardiac computed tomography (CT) that had fetal echocardiography (echo) and MRI initially performed. The six fetal MRI cases were examined using 1.5 T MRI unit. Steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence and single-shot turbo spin echo (SSTSE) sequence were used to evaluate the fetal great vessels and airway. The gestational age of six fetuses at time of fetal MRI ranged from 23 to 35 weeks (mean, 26.7 weeks).

Results: Of six cases with mirror image right aortic arch and RLDA confirmed by postnatal CT, 4/6 were correctly diagnosed by fetal cardiac MRI and 3/6 were correctly diagnosed by prenatal echo. All six cases were not associated with other congenital heart defect. All ductus arteriosus were closed after birth.

Conclusions: Fetal cardiac MRI can be a useful adjunct for evaluating fetal right aortic arch with mirror-image and RLDA.     

宋本《伤寒论》版本考辨

第一次揭示赵开美《仲景全书》中的《伤寒论》有“初刻”“补刻”之别,是本文最重要的意义。初刻本藏于日本枫山秘府,有讹字阙文,书口紊乱;日本安政三年（1856年）崛川济摹刻之。崛川济本（又称安政本）对中国影响极大。赵开美在原版板木上IE其讹字,补其阙文,划一书口,是为“补刻”本,补刻本今藏台湾故宫博物院图书馆、中医研究院图书馆。北京国家图书馆所藏为台湾本的缩微胶卷。1923年恽铁樵以安政本为底本影印之,侈称宋本《伤寒论》,迷惑国人多多。1990年刘渡舟首次以北京国家图书馆所藏宋本《伤寒论》缩微胶卷为底本校注之,国人始见宋本全文。今对诸本穷尽校读之,不仅发现初刻本与补刻本有较多差异,就是补刻本之间亦多不同,令人费解。
