Cognitive function has become a hot spot in the field of epilepsy. However,the relationship between cognitive function and epilepsy has not been clearly demonstrated. Clinical trials have showed that epi-lepsy and epileptic relevant factors are both associated with cognitive function in children. Children with cogni-tive impairment are often caused by those two factors. This article focuses on cognitive function in children with epilepsy age below 6 years,and mainly reviews the characteristics of cognitive function in these children with epilepsy.

Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect of oxaliplatin combined with tegafur on the treatment of gastric cancer patients after operation.Methods A retrospective analysis was used to analysis the clinical dated of gastric cancer patients received radical surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from April 2012 to August 2014, according to the surgical treatment of the postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, which were divided into oxaliplatin combined with tegafur group and oxaliplatin combined with tegafur group.The lymph nodes and survival rate and recurrence rate of the two groups were observed after two years.The quality of life and the incidence of complications in the two groups were evaluated. Results The two years recurrence and metastasis rate of Oxaliplatin combined with tegafur group were lower than mFolfox6 program group (P<0.05);the one year survival rate was no difference of oxaliplatin combined with tegafur group two years survival rate is higher than that of mFolfox6 group, the rate of nausea and vomiting, leukopenia and urea nitrogen in oxaliplatin combined with tegafur group were higher ( P <0.05 ).Physical function, physical role, limb pain and other quality of life score of the two groups had no significant difference before treatment, after treatment, the indea of oxaliplatin combined with tegafur group was lower than mFolfox6 program group ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusion Oxaliplatin combined with tegafur can significantly reduce the rate of recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer patients after operation, and improve the quality of life of patients after operation.

Objective To study the expression of survivin in malignant pleomorphic adenoma,relay pleomorphic adenoma and pleomorphic adenoma.Methods The transcription and interpretation of urvivin mRNA in the salivary gland tumor were analyzed via immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization methods.Results Survivin mRNA expression and protein expression were almost the same in malignant pleomorphic adenoma,relay pleomorphic adenoma and pleomorphic adenoma.But they were different in the gland around the malignant pleomorphic adenoma.There was a significant difference of Survivin mRNA and protein expression in pleomorphic adenoma and malignant pleomorphic adenoma,and relay pleomorphic adenoma.The expressions were almost the same in relay and malignant pleomorphic adenoma.Conclusion The expression of survivin mRNA and protein is increased in pleomorphic adenoma and may be involved in the onset and progression of pleomorphic adenoma.It indicates that mRNA is relatively stable in the mRNA transcription and protein interpretation in malignant pleomorphic adenoma,and it is also showed earlier in gene amplification than in protein expression of the malignant tumor in the initial stage of malignant pleomorphic adenoma.Survivin can be a new diagnostic/therapeutic target in pleomorphic adenoma.

Clinicians monitor the gastric residual volume(GRV) of critical ill patients to minimize or prevent side effect of EN.Nevertheless,recommendations about the threshold GRV in critically ill patients treated with EN are not uniform.Many recent clinical studies had demonstrated that increasing the limit of GRV was associated with the increase in the diet volume ratio of ICU patients receiving EN,and it was not associated with adverse effects in gastrointestinal complications.This review summarizes the influence factors of GRV monitoring to evaluate the feasibility and necessity of increasing the threshold of GRV.

ObjectiveTo understand the clinical characteristics and therapy of Huntington's disease (HD).MethodsThe clinical characteristics of five typical kindreds with HD were analysed. The therapeutic progression after reviewing literature was summarized.ResultsFive kindreds inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. They were all adult-onset HD.Progressive motor dysfunction,cognitive decline,emotional and behavioral disturbance were the key clinical presentations. At an early stage, manifestations include subtle emotional symptoms and involuntary movements.The reason of visiting doctor was chorea. CT scans demonstrated brain atrophy.ConclusionsTypical clinical manifestation and clear family history may be enough to make primary diagnosis. Psychological evaluation at risk individual may help to diagnose early. Gene testing may confirm the diagnosis of HD. The drugs and occupational,physical therapy and psychotherapy for HD patients can help maintain the highest level of function and improve the quality of life.

Objective This study aims to evaluate the impact of early surgery on long-term outcome of patients with left-sided native valve infective endocarditis (IE).Methods Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed in 239 consecutive patients with left-sided native valve IE from 2002 to 2012 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH).Propensity score was used to match patients in the early operation and conventional treatment groups.Results Early surgery was performed in 70 (29.3％)patients and the conventional treatment strategy was applied in 169 (70.7％) patients.The median followup period was 2 years.IE-related mortality was lower in the early operation group than in the conventional treatment group (10.0％ vs 23.1％,P =0.02).For 58 propensity score-matched pairs,the cumulative survival free from IE related death was significantly higher in the early operation group than in the conventional treatment group (P =0.027).Regression analysis of the matched cohorts revealed that early surgery was independently associated with decreased IE-related mortality (HR 0.286 ; 95％ CI 0.092-0.893 ;P =0.031).While either cardiac function with NYHA Class Ⅲ-Ⅳ (HR 4.044; 95％ CI 1.318-12.407;P =0.015) or uncontrolled infection (HR 52.064; 95％ CI 10.996-247.194; P ＜ 0.001) was associated with poor prognosis of increased mortality.Conclusions Early surgery improved long-term outcome in patients with left-sided native valve IE compared with conventional therapy.Risk factors related to increased mortality included heart failure and uncontrollable infection.
