Epilepsy is one of the most common diseases in children.The diagnosis,classification and treatment of epilepsy are improving gradually and meet with the international standards.However,the understanding of the clinical significance of epilepsy combined with the mental and behavioral problems is not sufficient,which leads to the backlogging of the diagnosis and intervention of the co-morbidity,and further affects the long-term prognosis.The prevalence of epilepsy co-morbid with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is high,which seriously affects the quality of the lives in children and their families.Timely diagnosis and standardized treatment is very important for the clinical workers to improve the long-term prognosis of these children.In this paper,the possible mechanism,the disease characteristics,the standardized diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy combined with ADHD,are briefly introduced.

A questionnaire survey on chronic heart failure management was conducted in 110 physicians from Xindu,Supo,Jiajiang and Xinhua community hospital in Chengdu from January 2007 to June 2010.Results showed that 77.3% (85/110) of community physicians lacked knowledge about prevention,diagnosis and treatment of chronic heart failure,and the diagnostic accuracy rate was only 51.3% (40/78) in these community hospitals.There was lack of awareness of the guideline of chronic heart failure:the rate of β blockers use was 15.0% (6/40) and only 5.0% (2/40) used the target dose; the rate of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor use was 17.5% (7/40) and only 7.50% (3/40) used the target dose.In addition,90% (99/110) of community doctors lacked the education and management for patients with heart failure.The survey suggests that the current situation of chronic heart failure management in community physicians in Chengdu is unsatisfactory.It is necessary to strengthen the training of community physicians.

AIM and METHOD: In terms of difference value between bleeding blood volume that caused hemorrhagic shouk (HS) and residual blood volume at 2 h after HS, showed that HS at 5.3 kPa level was compen- satory and at 4.0 kPa level was decompensatory. Comparing some blood changes between HS two levels and their changes while pretreated with captopril (Capt. ) to reduce the release of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang-Ⅱ), so as to inveshgate the significance of Ang - Ⅱ during HS. RESULTS: The residual blood volume in 4.0 kPa HS + Capt. group are again from near "zero" value in simple 4.0 kPa HS group. In both two HS level groups found blood dilution and was not influenced by pretreating with Capt.; contents of K+ and aldosterone increased, but Na+ had no changes, in Capt. + HS group, the former two contents reduced and Na+ had no changes comparing with each HS group. In two HS groups, the bind lactate, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) increased and had more increment in 4.0 kPa HS group. All these changes could be prevented by pretreating with Capt. The blood glucose in 5.3 kPa HS group increased markedly and Capt. had no influence on it, but decreased extremely in 4.0 kPa HS group and Capt. could make it re - increased. CONCLUSIONS: Artery blood pressure (ABP) at 5 .3 kPa level was compensatory HS and ABP at 4 .0 kPa level was decompensatory HS, some changes on decompensatory HS were more serious and severe than compensatory HS, Capt. has protective effects on some changes during HS and could prolong the survival time of decompensatory HS, all that indicated the increment of Aug - Ⅱ is an important pathogenetic factor during HS.

Objective To analyze the results of survival and local regional control of early-stage breast cancer patients treated with breast-conserving surgery and whole breast radiation therapy, and to explore the factors influencing local control. Methods From October 1995 to September 2005,335 patients with early-stage breast cancer were treated with breast conservative therapy, including 25 with post-operative radiotherapy alone( group A), 194 with sequential chemo-radiotherapy( group B) ,80 with concurrent chemoradiotherapy( group C), and 36 with chemo-radio-chemotherapy (group D). Axillary dissection was performed in 312 patients and sentinel node biopsy in 2. Adjuvant chemotherapy was given to 310 patients. Radiation of 50 Gy in 25 fractions was delivered to the whole breast in 256 patients,and to the breast and regional nodes in 79. Another 10 Gy in 5 fractions was boosted to the tumor bed. The proportion of patients with surgery-radiation interval of less than 4 weeks,4-8 weeks,8-20 weeks and over 20 weeks was 16.4%, 23.6% ,37.3% and 22.7% ,respectively. Concurrent chemo-radiation and" sandwich" modality were delivered in 80 and 36 patients,respectively. Results The median follow-up was 48(25.3-146.7) months. The 5-year local-regional control and ipsilateral breast control rates were 94.5% and 95.6%, respectively. The 5-year disease-free survival,metastasis-free survival and overall survival rates were 88.6% ,93.2% and 98.8% ,respectively. Lymph-vascular invasion and neural invasion were significant factors influencing local control in univariate analysis. No significant differences were found in local control rates among different surgery-radiation intervals or different sequencing of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Multivariate analysis showed that lymph-vascular invasion and reexcision for positive or unknown margin were independent prognostic factors influencing local control. In group A + B, C and D, the frequency of grade Ⅲ skin toxicity was4.5%.80.0%.and 77.0%,respectively(χ2=226.00,P=0.000).Conclusiom Breast conservative therapy for early-stage breast eancer results in good local-regional control and overall survival.Lymph-vascular invasion and reexcision are independent prognostic factors for local control.Surgery-radiation interval and sequencing of radiotherapy and chemotherapy have no impact on local contr01.Grade Ⅲ skin toxicity of the concurTent radio.chemotherapy and the chemo.radio.chemotherapy group is significantly higher than that of the sequential chemotherapy-radiotherapy plus radiotherapy alone group.
