Abstract:

Objective To explore the feasibility of picture naming training in improving naming ability of patients with semantic dementia (SD). Methods A total of 14 cases of semantic dementia whose the first symptom was semantic memory impairment were given picture naming training 30 min/time, twice a day, for 5 d from October 2018 to December 2020 at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University. One day before and one day after the end of training, Picture Naming Test and Boston Naming Test (BNT) were used to evaluate the naming ability. Results After training, Picture Naming Test score (65.79±34.54 vs. 49.79±30.85; t=-3.297, P=0.001) and BNT score [6.50 (4.75, 14.00) vs. 5.00 (3.00, 11.50); Z=-2.007, P=0.045] were higher than before training. Conclusions Picture naming training can effectively improve the naming ability of patients with semantic dementia.

摘要：

目的 初步探讨图片命名训练改善语义性痴呆患者命名能力的可行性。方法 纳入2018年10月至2020年12月在首都医科大学宣武医院确诊的14例语义性痴呆患者，首发症状均为语义记忆障碍，行图片命名训练，分别于训练前1 d和训练结束后第1天采用图片命名测验和Boston命名测验（BNT）中文版评价图片命名能力。结果 训练后图片命名测验评分（65.79±34.54对49.79±30.85；t=-3.297，P=0.001）和BNT评分［6.50（4.75，14.00）对5.00（3.00，11.50）；Z=-2.007，P=0.045］均高于训练前。结论 图片命名训练可以有效提高语义性痴呆患者的命名能力。
