Objective To observe the effect of comfort levels in patients during long-term video electroencephalographic(VEEG) monitoring on the monitoring effect. Methods A total of 168 patients with consecutive epilepsy were observed about the Bruggrmann comfort scale(BCS) and artifacts of VEEG during VEEG monitoring. Pearson′s correlation coefficient was used to evaluate a possible correlation between BCS and artifacts. Results The average single score before VEEG, including psychological comfort, social comfort, comfortable environment and overall comfort was (2.87±1.04), (2.63±0.98), (2.40± 1.25), (2.84 ± 0.90), (2.69 ± 1.07) points, which was (2.06 ± 1.38), (1.66 ± 1.40), (1.89 ± 0.57), (1.83 ± 1.24), (1.86 ± 1.19) points after VEEG. There was significant difference between 2 groups (t=4.011-6.353, P<0.05). The overall comfort score and the average single project blinks or eye movement artifacts, physical artifacts, chewing or swallowing artifacts and electrocardiogram artifacts were negatively correlated (r=-0.843--0.585, all P < 0.05), which would reduce the number of these artifacts when increased; there was no correlation (r=-0.204,-0.158, P>0.05) between the average single score of comfort and sweating, skin artifacts, and electrocardiogram artifact. Conclusions There is a significant negative correlation between patient's BCS and the occurrence of artifacts during VEEG monitoring. Comfort evaluation and comfort care before monitoring has great significance in raising the long-term VEEG monitoring accuracy.

Objective:To screen the ectodysplasin A (EDA)gene mutation in the patients with non-syndromic tooth agenesis and ectodermal dysplasia,and to analyze the phenotype of missing teeth pattern in these two groups of patients.Methods:In the study,174 patients with tooth agenesis (143:non-syn-dromic,31:ectodermal dysplasia)and 451 health control volunteers were enrolled from the clinic,and the genome DNA was extracted from either peripheral blood or oral mucosal swab.The coding region of EDA gene was then amplified by PCR,sequenced and blasted to online NCBI database.The missing teeth were recorded for all patients,and the missing teeth from patients with EDA mutation were com-pared among the different dentition sites.Results:33 patients were identified with EDA mutation.In the non-syndromic patients,13 /143(9.09%)were identified with EDA mutation,while in patients with ec-todermal dysplasia,20 /31 (64.52%)were found with EDA mutation.Ten novel EDA mutations were identified (c.769G >C[p.G257R],c.936C >G[p.I312M],c.223G >A[p.E75K],c.1166C >T[p. P389L],c.133G >C[p.G45R],c.1109G >A[p.E370K],c.914G >T[p.S305I],c.916C >T[p. Q306X],c.602G >T[p.G201V],c.88 -89insG[p.A30GfsX69]).For each dentition site there was no statistic difference in the number of missing teeth between the left and right sides,so the number from both sides were combined later in the analysis.In the patients with EDA mutation,the non-syndromic pa-tients had fewer missing teeth (15.9 ±6.4 missing teeth for each,207 /364 in total)than the patients with ectodermal dysplasia (23.9 ±4.3,478 /560).In the non-syndromic patients with EDA mutation, the maxillay central incisors and first molars were less affected,with the same missing rate as 19.2% (5 /26).While the mandibular central incisors (with a missing rate of 76.9%,20 /26),the maxillary late-ral incisors (the missing rate:88.5%,23 /26 ),the mandibular lateral incisors (the missing rate:80.8%,21 /26),and the maxillary first premolars (the missing rate:80.8%,21 /26)were more likely to be missing.In the ectodermal dysplasia patients with EDA mutation,only maxillary central incisors (the missing rate:60%,24 /40),maxillary canines (the missing rate:70%,28 /40),mandibular ca-nines (the missing rate:67.5%,27 /40),maxillary first molars (the missing rate:65%,26 /40)and mandibular first molars (the missing rate:72.5%,29 /40)had higher possibility of persistence.Teeth at other dentition sites were more likely to be affected (the minimum missing rate:87.5%,35 /40). Conclusion:The findings would help to reveal the EDA gene and its function in ectodermal organogene-sis.

Objective K93T point mutation exists in the quinoid dihydropteridine reductase ( QDPR) of OLEFT rats which catalyzes QDPR into tetrahydrobinopterin(BH4), while dihydrofolate reductase(DHFR) can reduce QDPR to BH4, which implies crosstalk between hydrobiopterin and folate metabolism.By investigating the influence of QDPR expression on DHFR expression of NRK-52E cells, the article aimed to find out the possible underlying mechanism of QDPR gene in diabetic nephropathy ( DN). Methods Western blot was performed to identify the expression level in NRK-52E cell under high glucose ambience and DHFR pro-tein expression of OLETF rats.NRK-52E cells were transfected by the lentivirus to establish no-load overexpression, overexpressed QDPR and knockdown QDPR models.Each group was given 5.4 mmol/L normal sugar medium and 30mmol/L in high glucose ambi-ence for 72 hours'cell cultivation to simulate DN model.Observation was made on the influence of QDPR gene expression levels on DHFR in high glucose ambience. Results The western blot analysis revealed that DHFR protein decreased in NHG group( [0.33 ± 0.16] vs [0.64 ±0.5], P<0.05) and OLETF rats cortex ([0.56 ±0.16] vs [1.03 ±0.12], P<0.01).In high glucose ambi-ence, compared with LV-OCON-HG group, the protein expression of DHFR was significantly decreased in LV-QDPR-HG group ([0.12 ±0.09] vs [0.63 ±0.08], P<0.01).No difference was found in the comparison of DHFR expression levels between LV-SHQDPR-HG and LV-SHCON-HG group. Conclusion DHFR protein expression decreases in NRK-52E cells of high glucose and LOLETF rat model, which suggests that DHFR protein plays an important role in the development of DN.QDPR overexpression leads to the decreased expression of DHFR, which implies that overexpressed QDPR influences the occurrence and process of DN by down-regulating DHFR expression level.
