 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and brain injury Preliminary study on CT [Abstract] Objective: To understand the symptoms of the elderly with mild cognitive impairment characteristic of mild cognitive impairment of memory impairment and brain CT changes. Methods: During January 2004 to June 2005 from the family living quarters near the hospital near 200 53 79-year-old elderly screened 32 patients with mild cognitive impairment for the patient group. Select same memory, cognitive tests were normal in the healthy control group of 25 people were voluntarily cooperate with the inspection and inventory assessment. Using the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Institute of Psychology, edited by Sheila Sheu Clinical Memory Scale. hippocampus detected by CT hook spacing, the brain and the temporal horn width of the diameter to calculate the hippocampus index (distance between the hook hippocampus / cerebral diameter). Results: The Light degree of cognitive impairment in 32 patients and 25 healthy subjects in the result analysis. equivalents patient group memory and memory quotient scale score results were significantly lower than the control group (p lt;0.01). Brain CT results show that the hippocampus of patients index and the temporal horn width was significantly higher than the control group (P lt;0.05). Conclusions: Mild cognitive impairment in patients with varying degrees of memory impairment and brain CT changes, clinical diagnosis and treatment of mild cognitive impairment to provide a more objective indicators.
