 Stem Cell Therapy May Help Repair the Heart
According to scientists in the USA, stem cell therapy may one day be able to repair the hearts of people with heart failure.Researchers at Pittsburgh University School of Medicine examined 20 patients who had severe heart failure and were going to have surgery.
They injected stem cells into the parts of their hearts that were damaged. They then compared their hearts with those of people who had undergone surgery without having the stem cells injected into them ( they had also suffered from severe heart failure ) . The patients who had the stem cells injected had hearts that were able to pump ( 用泵抽运) more blood than the others.
According to Professor Robert Kormos, one of the researchers, these results could revolutionize heart treatment. Although previous studies had indicated that there might be a benefit, this is the first study that has actually proved that stem cell therapy can help the failing heart work better.
All the patients in this study had hearts that could not pump blood properly. The scientists measured their ejection fraction ( 射血分数 ) . It is a measure of heart performance; you measure how much blood is being pumped out by the left ventricle ( 心室) .
 Healthy people's ejection fraction is about 55%. These patients had ejection fraction of under 35%. They all had by-pass surgery ( 搭桥手术) performed on them. Some of the patients had stem cells taken from their hip bones and injected into 25-30 sites in the damaged heart muscle. Six months later their ejection fraction rate was 46.1% while those who just had surgery but no stem cell injections averaged 37.2%.
 Heart failure is a common problem all over the world.In the UK alone about 650,000 people suffer from heart failure every year. As the number of people suffering from heart failure increases in the word in general these findings are particularly significant.
 Current treatments relieve the symptoms. This new stem cell therapy actually repairs the damaged muscle in the heart and has the potential of curing the disease.
The 20 patients had stem cell injections instead of surgery.

Cosmetic Surgery
1 Surgery that can improve the way a person looks is becoming more and more popular in the United States. This kind of surgery is called cosmetic surgery, and both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive (有竞争力的)in their jobs.
2 Men especially are beginning to turn to face-lifts, liposuction (taking fat out of the body ),and implants (putting artificial parts into their bodies ) to help them look younger. As companies downsize and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees, in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. These operations are not without dangers, however.
3 One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the bags under her eyes. She described her experience as terrible. She said,"When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he'd given me an injection near my eyes, I saw everything. ” She went on to explain, “I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing.
4 He was scraping away fat underneath my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished, I felt I couldn't walk. I was so faint. ” Her troubles did not end after the operation for two weeks. Her eyes were swollen and almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.
5 Liposuction,taking fat out of the body, is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the place where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine like a vacuum cleaner is then used to suck the fat out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, “Irregular lumps and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is not evenly done,liposuction can produce a very lumpy result. ” Patients often must have more liposuction to correct the problem.
1.Cosmetic surgery is more popular in the US than anywhere else.
2.The way a man looks has little to do with the job opportunities which may have.
3.There are hardly any risks involved in cosmetic operations.
4.The young woman was by no means satisfied with the eye operation.
5.The eye operation was such a failure that the woman refused to pay for it.
6.Not everyone is a good candidate for liposuction.
7.Sometimes liposuction patients may have to undergo more than one operation.

“Own Your Children’s Education”
1 "Helping them isn't about showing your kids how to do the work. It's about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what they're leaning,” says J. Gary Knowles,a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, part of the University of Toronto.
2 Rozon has a slew of suggestions for how to get more involved."Get to know the teacher. Discuss ways to tailor the assignments to your child's learning style. Spend time in the classroom. Ask for outlines of unit studies so you can find supplementary materials at the library or through videos. Read your child's textbooks: if you work a few pages ahead, you'll be able to help them with problems they encounter. ”
3 "Reading is another must,” says Rozon. “Even after your children can read themselves, hearing somebody else read aloud is important. We nearly always have a book on the go; we read for at least a half hour before bedtime. ”
4 “The more engaged a parent is, the more the child benefits,” adds Bruce Arai. “The evidence is clear: parental involvement is one of the most important factors in school success. ” Arai cites the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth sponsored by Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC),which is measuring all aspects of child development. "The hours children spend in class are but one element of their education”, states HRDC, which says parental support, along with teacher support and a positive attitude towards school,all contribute to academic success.
5 "I see every moment of every day as a learning experience,” says Goforth. “The most satisfying part of it is seeing the love of learning continued.I'm not squelching my children's desire to learn by insisting they learn. They learn because they want to. ”
6 Adds Jeanne Lambert, mother of Carey Graham: “Make the time, take the time, guide, lead, and encourage. If nothing else, your children learn you care,and that's the most important lesson you can give them. ”
