Development of oculomotor functioning in preadolescence, adolescence, and adulthood

We examined developmental differences in smooth pursuit eye tracking proficiency in a large sample of preadolescent, adolescent, and adult males. Smooth pursuit was quantified using general measures of oculomotor functioning and by examining the frequency and dynamic characteristics of specific saccadic events. Examination of age effects using general measures indicated that, by late adolescence, the smooth pursuit system reached adult levels of functioning. No significant differences were found between the adolescent and adult groups on most global measures. However, both groups had better eye tracking than the preadolescent group, suggesting that during preadolescence the oculomotor system is still developing and is not yet capable of optimal performance. Examination of the frequency and dynamic characteristics of the saccadic events yielded additional information regarding the nature of the smooth pursuit eye tracking differences of the three age groups.

目的:研究颈静脉孔区的显微外科解剖,探讨寰椎横突(TPA)、头侧直肌、二腹肌沟、颈静脉突等解剖标志在颈静脉孔区病变手术中的定位意义。方法:成人头颈标本15例,男13例,女2例,红色乳胶灌注颈总动脉和椎动脉。手术显微镜下(×3～×30)逐层显露颈静脉孔区结构,明确该区显微解剖特征、相关的解剖标志及其定位意义。结果:颈静脉孔区多数重要的解剖结构均可以TPA为参照标志予以明确。二腹肌后腹位于其浅层。TPA的后方为枕下三角,三角内有椎动脉、椎静脉丛和颈1神经通过。头侧直肌起始于TPA的外表面,止于枕骨颈静脉突的下表面,可作为确定颅外颈静脉孔的解剖标志。茎突位于TPA的前方,颈内静脉、迷走神经、副神经、舌下神经穿行于茎突与TPA之间,颈内动脉位于颈内静脉的前内侧。二腹肌、颈静脉突、颈动脉嵴对定位面神经、颈静脉孔及舌咽神经等结构具有重要意义。结论:颈静脉孔区解剖结构复杂,利用寰椎横突、头侧直肌、二腹肌沟、颈静脉突等解剖标志有助于明确此区域重要的解剖结构,避免术中不必要的损伤。     

Classification of B-cells according to their differentiation status, their micro-anatomical localisation and their developmental lineage

B-lymphocytes or B-cells form a diverse and flexible repertoire of immune cells that are reactive to almost all potential pathogens by means of the production of antigen-specific immunoglobulins. They can be divided into different populations or subsets, characterised by a distinct combination of properties. These subsets are identified on the base of their differentiation status (precursor B-cells, peripheral B-cells), their localisation in the micro-anatomical compartments of the B-cell follicle (marginal zone B-cells, lymphocytic corona B-cells, follicle centre B-cells), and the developmental lineage to which they belong (B-1 cells, and B-2 or conventional B-cells). The latter classification of B-cells into B-1 cells and B-2 cells is commonly followed by immunologists, mainly in the study of mice models, while pathologists and haematologists tend to use a terminology for B-cells which refers to their localisation in the micro-anatomical compartments of the B-cell follicle and/or differentiation status. In this review, we will discuss the various subsets of B-cells and point to the similarities between the various classification systems in use.

Bayesian semiparametric joint modeling of longitudinal explanatory variables of mixed types and a binary outcome

Many prospective biomedical studies collect longitudinal clinical and lifestyle data that are both continuous and discrete. In some studies, there is interest in the association between a binary outcome and the values of these longitudinal measurements at a specific time point. A common problem in these studies is inconsistency in timing of measurements and missing follow-ups which can lead to few measurements at the time of interest. Some methods have been developed to address this problem, but are only applicable to continuous measurements. To address this limitation, we propose a new class of joint models for a binary outcome and longitudinal explanatory variables of mixed types. The longitudinal model uses a latent normal random variable construction with regression splines to model time-dependent trends in mean with a Dirichlet Process prior assigned to random effects to relax distribution assumptions. We also standardize timing of the explanatory variables by relating the binary outcome to imputed longitudinal values at a set time point. The proposed model is evaluated through simulation studies and applied to data from a cancer survivor study of participants in the Women's Health Initiative.     

补肾益智方治疗阿尔兹海默病的研究进展

阿尔茨海默病（AD）是最常见的痴呆形式,目前缺少疾病修饰性的治疗药物。中医理论认为肾精亏虚是AD发生发展的内在机制,补肾益精是中医治疗AD的基本原则,贯穿AD治疗的始终。补肾益智方是治疗AD的临床经验方。补肾益智方治疗AD已有大量文献报道,但补肾益智方缺乏临床应用安全性评价,同时其基础研究薄弱,有效成分不明、多靶点作用机制不清。为阐明补肾益智方多成分、多靶点、多途径治疗AD的作用机制,该文综述了补肾益智方治疗AD的研究进展。进一步收集了16个基于高效液相色谱指纹图谱的补肾益智方主要化学成分,并对其成药性与安全性进行评价。利用基于AD重要病理生理学过程的网络药理学与文献综述相结合的方法,深入分析了补肾益智方靶向胆碱能系统、AD神经病理学特征的有效成分及可能机制。该研究为AD对症治疗、疾病修饰性治疗的药物研发提供了一系列有潜力的先导化合物,并为深入拓展补肾益智方的临床应用提供了理论依据。

Physical activity and motor skill outcomes of a 10-week intervention for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities ages 4–13: A pilot study

BackgroundChildren with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) often experience increased barriers to engaging in physical activity (PA) which can stem from lack of gross motor function (GMF) development. Intervening on GMF at an early age can create better opportunities for children with IDD to engage in regular PA. In turn, increased PA can improve health outcomes and increase social skills.ObjectiveThe primary objective of this pilot study was to explore the effectiveness of a community-based GMF-focused PA intervention for improving overall motor skills and PA for children with IDD.MethodsAll study participants (n = 24) engaged in 10 weeks of programming for 1 h each week. A convenience sample was utilized.ResultsResults indicated no statistically significant changes pre to post for motor skill scores. However, a visual analysis of mean changes showed a consistent pattern of increased scores from pre to post on most skills. Additionally, we found that a change in participant locomotor skills significantly predicted change in Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA), F (1,11) = 5.16, Adj R² = .26, p = .04.ConclusionsThese results suggest individualized attention on GMF may help to increase motor skills for children with IDD. This study adds to the small but growing amount of research examining the efficacy of community based adapted PA interventions. Further, study results should support continued exploration of effective approaches to address the motor delays experienced by children with IDD.
