Objective To analyse the differences between idiopathic and symptomatic childhood epilepsy with occipital patoxysms. Methods The medical records of 38 patients with interictal spikes and/or sharp waves over occipital areas,posterior temporal-parietal areas,or both were retrospectively analysed.Epidemiological data,ictal symptoms,electroencephalogram,neuroimaging studies,treatment response and prognosis were compared using chi-square test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results Four patients of idiopathic group had positive family history related to nervous system.Seizures were more frequent in symptomatic group than in idiopathic group.Both groups showed autonomic symptoms,while ictal vomiting and deviation of eyes were more common in the presence of Panayiotopoulos type.The prognosis of idiopathic group was much better than that of symptomatic group. Conclusion Panayiotopoulos syndrome is more common.Neurologic deficits and electroencephalographic characteristics are major factors to predict seizure remission in children with occipital lobe epilepsy.Idiopathic childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms may result in better prognosis.

Objective:Heart rate variability (HRV) contains a lot of information concerning the cardiovascular regulation,and can be an important indicator,quantitatively reflecting of autonomic nervous function and the normal heart activity,also can play an important role in cardiovascular regulation.Therefore,HRV signals are analyzed using common HRV analysis methods.Methods:Decompose HRV signals of congestive heart failure and normal persons into 6 scales using Multi-resolution analysis.The wavelet coefficient energy is calculated,especially the frequency energy of cd3 to cd6.Results:Energy is mainly concerned in the lower band of high frequency band and low frequency band,where the energy differences between the two groups are more evidence.It's more precise compared to the result with frequency-domain analysis.Conclusions:To gain results with universal law,more different analysis methods need to be improved and lots of researches are necessary.

Objective To analyze the clinical effect and safety of cortical bone decortication combined locking plate fixation for treatment of long bone nonunion of limbs. Methods Eighty patients with long bone nonunion of limbs who were treated in the Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Dalian University from Jun. 2010 to Jun. 2013 were selected as our subjects and their clinical data were recorded. According to different treatment methods,the patients were divided into control group and observation group,and each group with 40 cases. Patients in observation group were treated with cortical bone decortication combined locking plate fixation, while in control group were treated with locking plate combined slotted bone graft. Clinical effects and safety of two groups were compared. Results Excellent and good rate in observation group was 100%(40/40),obviously higher than that of control group(90. 0%(36/40);χ2 =4. 21,P﹤0. 05). Bleeding amount during operation in observation group was(370. 5 ± 56. 5)ml,obviously less than that of control group((486. 5 ± 64. 5)ml;t=8. 56,P﹤0. 01). And the fracture healing time was(5. 6 ± 1. 2)months in observation group,shorter than control group((7. 2 ± 1. 5)months;t =5. 27,P ﹤0. 01). The postoperative complication occurrence rate was 5. 0%(2/40),significantly lower than control group(20. 0%(8/40);χ2 =4. 11,P ﹤0. 05). Conclusion Cortical bone decortication combined locking plate fixation for treatment of long bone nonunion of limbs is safe and effective,and it can reduce operation injury and accelerate postoperative healing of fracture.

Thirty-one cases of infant respiratory tract infection were treated by no-pain health-care Tuina plus medicated bath. Since the therapeutic effects were satisfactory, so parents and infants are willing to accept.

Early recognition of severe sepsis and septic shock,early initiation of effective interventions,implementation of early goal-directed therapy may be key approaches for reducing the mortality and improving the prognosis.This article focused on the staging diagnosis systems for sepsis (PIRO sepsis classification system) and the systematic early warning or rapid response system.We also discussed the diagnostic value of biomarkers,proteomics and metabolomics in sepsis and severe sepsis.No single marker as golden standard has emerged that can provide clinicians with all the information they need for early recognition of sepsis.Therefore,we suggested that clinicians should have even more reason to combine the sepsis symptoms,signs and biomarkers for a comprehensive evaluation,and that they needed to dynamically monitor the changes in these parameters,in order to make reasonable clinical decisions and strategies.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum hepatitis B virus markers (HBV-M ) and HBV-DNA . Methods Enhanced chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (ECLIA ) and real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain re-action(FQ-PCR) were employed to detect HBV-M and HBV-DNA in 262 serum samples ,respectively .HBV surface antigen(HB-sAg) ,anti-HBV surface antibody(HBsAb) ,HBV e antigen(HBeAg) ,anti-HBV e antibody(HBeAb) ,anti-HBV core antibody(HB-cAb) were included in HBV-M .Results Compared the positive rates of HBV-DNA ,HBsAg ,HBeAb in HBeAg-negative patients with those in HBeAg-positive patients ,the differences were statistically significant (P< 0 .01) .29(36 .7% ) patients with HBV-DNA logarithm value not less than 5 were found in HBeAg-negative patients .Differences of HBeAg ,HBeAb positive rates among patients with different ages were statistically significant (P<0 .01) .25 patients with HBsAg less than 250 IU/mL were found in HBV-DNA-positive patients ,12(48 .0% ) of which showed HBV-DNA logarithm value not less than 5 .HBV-DNA logarithm value of HBV-DNA-positive patients was positively correlated to HBeAg and HBeAb (r= 0 .542 ,0 .607 ,P< 0 .01) .Conclusion Com-bined detection of HBV-M and HBV-DNA contributes to estimating the HBV infection .

MicroRNA (miRNA) constitutes a group of small (21-23 nucleotide) noncoding RNAs that functional as posttranscriptional gene regulators.miRNA involved in the tumor development which have been suggested to play a vital role in operating to promote or suppress tumor proliferation,invasion and metastasis.The application value of miRNA as a potential biomarker was also discussed.It needs to be further explored that miRNA can be applied as biomarkers in further medical paractice.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of the patients with central brain herniation,and the operation effect of high coronary craniotomy for bilateral decompressive craniectomy.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 26 cases of central brain herniation.The effectiveness of high coronary craniotomy for bilateral decompressive craniectomy and the influential factor of prognosis in patients with central brain herniation were analyzed.Results According to the Glasgow outcome score (GOS) 6 months after operation,5 cases were recovered well,6 cases moderately disabled,4 cases severely disabled,3 cases vegetative survived and 8 cases died.Conclusions High coronary craniotomy and timely and effective bilateral decompressive craniectomy are the most important treatment in patients with central brain herniation.The prognosis is unfavourable prognosis in patients with central brain herniation within 1 h after injury and older than 75 years old.
