Objective To explore the value of the use of the vacuum sealing drainage technology (VSD) in the dermatoplasty for large area of cutaneous defects.Methods By a prospective randomized study,64 patients with large area of cutaneous defects were randomly divided into traditional packaging group (dermatoplasty with the traditional dermatoplastic package method,n =32) and VSD group( dermatoplasty with the vacuum sealing drainage technology,n =32).Operating time,survival.rate of skin graft and wound infection were compared between these two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the operation time between the two groups( [77 ± 16]min vs [83 ± 12] min,P =0.06).The survival rate of skin graft and wound infection in VSD group were significantly better than those in traditional packaging group( survival rate of skin graft:(6±1)% vs (20±7)%,P<0.001;wound infection cases:1 vs6,P=0.039).Conclusion Treating large area of cutaneous defects by the dermatoplasty with VSD technology could significantly improve clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the clinical,electroencephalogram (EEG) and genetic features of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) in the Chinese population.Methods Clinical examination,EEG recording,mutation screenings in transmembrane domains 1-3 of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) α4 (CHRNA4),β2 (CHRNB2) and α2 (CHRNA2) using PCR amplification and sequencing were carried out on 6 patients and some members in 3 families with NFLE.Results Among 6 patients (5 male) with NFLE,the mean age was (20.5±11.5) years and the mean age at onset was (7.3±5.5) years.Clinical features included seizures of dystonic posturing in 2 patients and seizures of hyperkinetic movements in 4 patients with the maximum frequency of 6 seizures within one night.The ictal and interictal video-EEG (VEEG) of frontal lobes showed epileptic discharges,slow wave activity,normal activity or electrode artifacts.There weren' t abnormity in other clinical examination and neuroimagings.No mutations were identified in the genes screened.Conclusion NFLE is a heterogenetic epilepsy syndrome.

Objective To compare the classification rate of three classifications of epilepsy syndromes proposed by International League Against Epilepsy(ILAE),and analyze their stuctural changes.Methods All patients with epilepsy who consecutively visited the epilepsy center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital between Aug.1st,2007 and Mat.31st.2008 were included.Thtee classifications of epilepsy syndromes were used in order.Results In this study,we could categorize 75.5 % of 1356 patients by applying the 1989 international classification of epilepsy syndromes.89.0 % of them by the 2001 proposed diagnostic scheme and 88.1 % of them by the 2006 report.In this aspect,the 2001 and 2006 classifications were better than the 1989 classification(x2=116.3,P<0.01).However,only 11.6 % (157),12.O % (162)and 11.9 % (160)of patients with specific epilepsy syndromes were identified from the 1356 epileptic patients by three classifications.respectively.This data based on the 2001 and 2006 classifications did not change markedly in comparison with the 1989 classification(x2=0.09,P>0.05).Conclusions The 2006 report involve mole scientific mode of classification and systematic evaluation,and can classify more patients with epilepsy.It can be ased in clinical and scientific research.which can not only accumulate data for developing more scientific classification but also stimulate research especially in the fields of genetics and functional morphology.

Objective To illustrate the semiological characteristics of the three sub-types within the broad bilateral asymmetric tonic seizures (BATS),summarize their predictive values on lateralization and localization of seizure onset zone (SOZ),and analyze the difference between BATS and asymmetrical tonic limb posturing (ATLP).Methods A retrospective review of 385 patients who underwent stereotactic electrode implantation in the Sanbo Brain Hospital,Capital Medical University from September 2011 to May 2018 was performed.As long as there was a clinical epileptic seizure in the presence of BATS or ATLP,the patients were classified into the corresponding groups.Postoperative prognosis was assessed using Engel's grading criteria for a follow-up of no less than six months.Seizure descriptions were based on the classification of epileptic seizures introduced by Lüiders,which used arrows to connect the symptoms in chronological order.Results There was no statistically significant difference between the classic BATS and bilateral proximal tonic seizure in terms of whether it could be an independent seizure,as the onset and end of the seizure,with version and generalized tonic-clonic seizure (P>0.05).Compared with the ATLP,except for whether it could be an independent seizure (P=1.000) and onset before versive seizure (P=0.068),the BATS showed significantly different semiological features (P<0.05).The classic BATS and secondary motor area epilepsy had a 100.0% predictive accuracy on the lateralization of SOZ.In the patients with broad BATS,the SOZ distribution was more extensive,but it was rare in the orbitofrontal gyrus,frontal pole and mesial temporal lobe.Compared with the bilateral proximal tonic seizures from the other regions,those originated from supplementary somatosensory motor area and its adjacent areas were rare and showed no statistically significant difference (0/8 vs 40.0% (18/45),x2=3.226,P=0.072) but a low trend.The predictive value of BATS on lateralization of SOZ was higher than that of ATLP (84.9% (45/53) vs 57.1% (24/42),x2=9.086,P=0.003),and BATS was less originated from temporal lobe than ATLP (3.8% (2/53) vs 23.8% (10/42),x2=8.523,P=0.004).Conclusion Different from ATLP,the broad BATS are characterized by tonic proximal upper limb posturing,and have a higher predictive value on lateralization and localization of SOZ.
