Objective:To explore the risk factors and clinical features of post ischemic stroke seizure in order to direct clinical intervention,optimal treatment and improve prognosis.Methods:There were 47 patients with post ischemic stroke seizure,50 ischemic stroke patients without secondary seizure.The clinical data of them were reviewed.Multivariate stepwise logistic model analysis was made after univariate analysis.Results:Univariate analysis showed that lesion location,ischemic stroke subtype,NIHSS were associated with the development of seizures after ischemic stroke.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that cardioembolic infarction,cortical location,high NIHSS were independent risk factors for seizures after ischemic stroke.Conclusion:Post ischemic stroke patients who have cardioembolic infarction,cortical location,high NIHSS are likely to develop seizures.

Objective To explore the diagnosis for early stage lung cancer with "normal" plain CT scan in order to draw the concern of physician to these patients. Methods We reviewed and analyzed 3 cases of central bronchogenic carcinoma with normal plain CT scan at first visit who were confirmed through fiber bronchoscope examination and PET/CT scan later. Then we compared the values of some diagnostic methods for early-stage central bronchogenic carcinoma. Results Three patients were all males with long smoking history. They came to hospital for cough and bloody sputum. All their plain CT scan showed "no abnormal findings", but their symptom continued. Later, the fiber bronchoscope examination and PET/CT scan strongly suggested that they were suffered from central bronchogenic carcinoma, and then the pathological findings and sputum cytology confirmed the diagnosis. Two patients received lobectomy, and the other one was suggested to accept radiotherapy because of his poor lung function. Conclusions The positive rate of plain CT scan for early-stage central bronchogenic carcinoma is relatively low. Thus, some of these patients lost the chance of surgery and combined therapy. So physicians should pay more attention to these patients with symptoms of persistent bloody sputum or obstructive pneumonia, even if the plain CT scan is negative at first visit. Using PET/CT and fiber bronchoscope examination, physicians can confirm the diagnosis of central bronchogenic carcinoma. So these two methods are important in the diagnosis for early-stage central bronchogenic carcinoma without any abnormal plain CT scan findings.

OBJECTIVE:To study the incidences and drug-resistance characteristics of bacteria infections that with ESBLs production for references of clinical medication.METHODS:Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from 2001to 2004 were subjected to ESBLs detection.The incidence of infection of each year was compared and the susceptibility test was performed by K-B paper disk method.RESULTS:Bacterial infection incidences caused by ESBLs-producing E.coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae increased year by year.Strains with ESBLs producution showed lower sensitivity to antibiotics than those without.E.coli and K.pneumoniae that with ESBLs productions showed the lowest drug resistance rates, which stood at 1.9%and 2.9%,respectively.Their drug resistances to piperacillin/tazobactam were 26.2% and 20.5%,respectively and 33.6% and 35.2%,respectively to amikacin.CONCLUSION:Carbapenem antibiotics are the optimal choice in the treatment of bacterial infections that with ESBLs production.

Second primary malignancies are more likely to occur in the multiple myeloma patients .Most of them are Acute myeloid leukemia ( AML) or Myelodysplastic syndrome ( MDS) .The incidence in male or those multiple myeloma patients who is less than 60 years old are more than female or those multiple myeloma patients who are bigger than 60 years old.In recent years,studies of multiple myeloma secondary to leukemia and other tumors are gradually increasing ,but the mechanism and treatment are still unclear .These diseases have the follow-ing characteristics such as progress rapidly ,high mortality rate and low complete remission rate after chemothera-py.

Objective To investigate the expressions of RhoB and E-cadherin in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and their clinical significances thereof. Methods Immunohistochemical staining was applied to detect expres-sions of RhoB and E-cadherin in 116 samples of NSCLC (NSCLC group) and 116 samples of normal lung tissues (control group). Correlations of expressions of RhoB and E-cadherin to clinical pathological parameters and prognosis were analyzed in two groups. Results The expression intensities of RhoB and E-cadherin were significantly lower in NSCLC group than those in control group (57.76%vs 87.07%,54.31%vs 85.34%,P＜0.01). There were significant differences in the expres-sion of RhoB between different pathological types, differentiation and lymph node metastasis in NSCLC group. There were significant differences in the expression of E-cadherin between different TNM stages, differentiation and lymph node metas-tasis in NSCLC group. The expression of RhoB was positively correlated with the expression of E-cadherin ( r=0.503,P＜0.01). The 3-year survival rates were significantly higher in patients with high expression of RhoB (83.93%) than those in pa-tients with low expression of RhoB (40.00%, Log-rank χ2=18.992,P＜0.01). The 3-year survival rates were significantly higher in patients with high expression of E-cadherin (85.11%) than those in patients with low expression of E-cadherin (44.93%, Log-rankχ2=16.680,P＜0.01). Further multivariate analysis suggested that both lower expressions of RhoB and E-cadherin and lymph node metastasis were prognostic indicators for NSCLC (P＜0.001). Conclusion The expressions of RhoB and E-cadherin showed a good correlation in NSCLC. Detecting the expression of RhoB combined with E-cadherin may give a clue on clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with NSCLC.

Objective To study the mechanism of blood-lipid regulation of the effective fractions from the extracts of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae(RSM)or Fructus Crataegi(FC),as well as their interaction.Methods The serum-drug of RSM and FC extracts were prepared by orthogonal design L_16(215).Amphotercin B cell model and RT-PCR method were used to examine the effects of the serum-drug of RSM and FC extracts on endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis in Chinese hamster ovary(CHO)cells and the expressions of cholesterol 7?-hydroxylase(CYP7A)mRNA in BRL cells.Results Ethanol(75%)and ammonia extracts of RSM obviously increased the absorbance(A)in the experiment of amphotercin B cell model and the expression of CYP7A mRNA in BRL cell line.The extracts of FC had no direct effect on cholesterol metabolism by themselves,but they were in synergism with the extracts of RSM.ConclusionThe extracts of RSM have a blood-lipid regulation by inhibiting endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis and increasing CYP7A mRNA expression,and maybe have a better effect when the extracts of FC are used together.

Objective To investigate the expression levels and clinical significance of (forkhead box Q1) FOXQ1 and E-cadherin in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods Expression levels of FOXQ1 and E-cadherin were in ESCC tissues (ESCC group, n=42) and adjacent normal esophageal tissues (control group, n=42) were detected using im?munohistochemistry. Correlations of FOXQ1 and E-cadherin expressions with clinical pathological parameters and progno?sis were analyzed between two groups. Results The expression level of FOXQ1 was significantly higher in ESCC group than that in control group(64.29% vs 28.57%,χ2=5.384,P<0.05). The expression level of E-cadherin was significantly lower in ESCC group than that incontrol group(52.38%vs 90.48%,χ2=7.691,P<0.05). There were significant differences in FOXQ1 expressions between different TNM stages and whether lymph node metastasis is involved within ESCC group. There were significant differences in expression of E-cadherin between different tumor differentiation, depth of invasion, TNM stage and whether lymph node metastasis is involved within ESCC group. The expression of FOXQ1 was negatively cor?related with E-cadherin in ESCC (r=-0.412, P<0.05). The 5-year survival rates were significantly lower with high expres?sion of FOXQ1 or with low expression of FOXQ1(18.52%vs 66.67%,χ2=9.737,P<0.05). The 5-year survival rates were significantly higher with high expression of E-cadherinor low expression of E-cadherin(59.09%vs 10.00%,χ2=10.996,P<0.05). A multivariate Cox's proportional hazard regression analysis indicated that high FOXQ1 expression, low E-cadherin expression and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors for ESCC. Conclusion The expression of FOXQ1 and E-cadherin showed a good correlation with ESCC. And examining expressions of both FOXQ1 and E-cadherin in ESCC may have practical values in estimating the prognosis of ESCC and directing future treatment .

Emotional and cognitive disorders (EACD),such as depression and anxiety,have become very common in today′s society,seriously affecting human lives and health. Neural plasticity can reflect the anti-stress ability of the nervous system to the internal and external stimulation,and is capable of dynamic changes in structure or function to adapt to environmental changes,as is often manifested in the process of compensation and repair of nerve injuries. EACD is often accompanied by macroscopic and cellular morphological changes in brain tissues and functions. Thus,studies on the mechanisms of neural plasticity will contribute to the treatment of EACD. In this paper ,the role of neural plasticity in the active components of Chinese herbal medicine(ACCHM) is reviewed. The effects of ACCHM on 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)system,and the antioxidant activities and neurotrophic effects of ACCHM are described. ACCHM can affect neural plasticity,playing a neuroprotective role by improving 5-HT levels,reducing oxidative stress in brain cells,and increasing the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF). In summary,one ACCHM could affect neural plasticity through one or more mechanisms. There are interactions between different mechanisms of the same ACCHM. Different ACCHM can play a synergistic effect on the enhancement of neural plasticity because of their different mechanisms.
