Objective:To determine the dosage,method and effectiveness of using magnesium sulfate for treating the intractable epilepsy.Methods:72 cases were allocated to treatment group and 36 to control group. For those in the treatment group,either 10 mL of 25% MgSO4 was administered by intravenous drip or 10 mL of 16.5% MgSO4 by oral intake once per day,in addition to the use of the commonly used antiepilepsy drugs. For those in the control group,the commonly used antiepilepsy drugs such as tegretol,sodium phenytoin,luminal or γ-Aminobutyric Acid were employed.Results:The improvement rate in the treatment group was 87.50%,higher than that (44.44%) in the control group (P＜0.01).Conclusion:Using magnesium sulfate in conjunction with the antiepilepsy drugs is a simple yet effective regime for the treatment of the intractable epilepsy.

Objective: To assess the current situation and related factors of the knowledge, attitude and behavior toward sexual abuse prevention among primary school students in Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, so as to provide a reference basis for the development of sexual abuse prevention education for primary school students. Methods: A total of 4 563 primary school students in Luzhou City were sampled from December 2023 to January 2024 by stratified cluster sampling, and self administered questionnaires were conducted. The binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze related factors of the knowledge, attitude and behavior toward sexual abuse prevention. Results: The qualified rates of knowledge, behavior and attitude among primary school students towards sexual abuse prevention in Luzhou were 76.2%, 21.3%, and 90.2 %, respectively. The binary Logistic regression showed that males ( OR=0.66, 95%CI =0.56-0.78), attending rural schools ( OR=0.77, 95%CI =0.64-0.92), left behind status ( OR=0.66, 95%CI =0.53-0.81), and household registration in Lu County ( OR=0.57, 95%CI =0.46-0.70) and Gulin County ( OR=0.70, 95%CI =0.57-0.86) had lower qualified rates of the knowledge of sexual abuse prevention among primary school students ( P < 0.05 ); while qualified knowledge of sexual abuse prevention was positively associated with grade ( OR =3.05-18.81); attending rural schools ( OR=0.82, 95%CI =0.70-0.95) and not having received education on prevention of sexual abuse ( OR=0.55, 95%CI = 0.47-0.64) had lower qualified rates of the behavior of sexual abuse prevention among primary school students ( P <0.05); household registration in Lu County ( OR=0.73, 95%CI =0.58-0.92) and not having received education on prevention of sexual abuse ( OR=0.33, 95%CI =0.26-0.40) had lower qualified rates of the educational attitudes of sexual abuse prevention among primary school students ( P <0.05). Conclusions The qualified rates of knowledge and behavior of sexual abuse prevention among primary school students in Luzhou City needs to be improved. Health education regarding sexual abuse prevention might help enhance primary school students awareness and skills of sexual abuse prevention.

HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) protein is usually upregulated after statin (HMGCR inhibitor) treatment, which inevitably diminishes its therapeutic efficacy, provoking the need for higher doses associated with adverse effects. The proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology has recently emerged as a powerful approach for inducing protein degradation. Nonetheless, due to their bifunctional nature, developing orally bioavailable PROTACs remains a great challenge. Herein, we identified a powerful HMGCR-targeted PROTAC (
