1.Improvement of mental retardation plus epilepsy in children following management
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2002;6(9):1384-1384
Objective To investigate the effective management approaches for mental retardation plus epilepsy in children.Method Sodium valproat[15~ 60 mg/( kg· day)] or nitrazepam[0.5~ 1 mg/( kg· day) ] and guanmaishu containing hyoscyamine(0.0045~ 0.045 mg/( kg· day)] as adjuvant were administered for 1.5~2 consecutive years.EEG,three dimensional Doppler ultrasonic examination of cerebral vessels were performed.Result Favorable therapeutic effect was obtained in 25 cases(48.1% ),good effect in 12 cases(23.1% ).Conclusion Favorable therapeutic effect of hyoscyamine in epilepsy is correlated with improved cerebral microcirculation,cortical choline receptor blocking ,reduced conduction between synapses.These factors all inhibit onset of epilepsy.

Objective To explore the relationship of apolipoprotein E(ApoE) and its gene polymorphism with phlegm and blood stasis syndrome in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods Ninety-seven qualified CHD patients involving phlegm syndrome(PS),blood-stasis syndrome(BSS),and phlegm and blood stasis syndrome(PBSS) were adopted.Thirty-five healthy volunteers were enrolled into the control group.Serum ApoE level was examined in all of the subjects,and their whole blood DNA were extracted for the detection of ApoE gene polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP).Correlation analysis of the data was performed with SPSS11.0 software.Results The difference of diabetes mellitus,smoking,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) was significant between CHD patients and healthy volunteers(P
