Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important instrument for the evaluation of brain function, and an irreplaceable diagnostic technique for nervous system diseases. At present, China still lacks professional child-EEG talents. Therefore, it is a task of great priority to establish an effective and practical training method and foster more child-EEG physicians. As most trainees have not learned EEG before and only have limited time for learning, we divide the child-EEG training into three phases, includ-ing theory learning, practice training, and EEG reading and interpretation on the basis of the general rules in learning EEG. In the theory learning phase, basic EEG knowledge is taught comprehensively to form a solid foundation for future study. In practice training phase, the trainees acquire important skills of EEG by carrying out complete EEG monitoring, eliminating EEG artifacts, observing seizures, and read real-time EEG. In the phase of EEG reading and interpretation, the trainees learn to analyze EEG gradually by read-ing and report EEG under the guidance of the senior physician. Strict examination is arranged for each phase to evaluate study results objectively. The phased model is designed to implement a step-by-step training of child-EEG and foster the trainee's independent ability to carry out EEG inspection.

Objective It is the first time that co -word analysis method was used throughout this study,which was based on all the Chinese research papers on childhood epilepsy published during the last two years.This study aimed to understand the current research status and progress in this field in China,and try to formulate the foundations for further study.Methods All the papers in database of Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure,VIP database, Wanfang as well as PubMed were retrieved by using childrenand epilepsyas keywords.Publication date range was set from January 201 4 to June 201 5 and qualified papers were included in the research.Excel,Ucinet 6.0 and Net-draw software were used to analyze of the relationship between different key words and to generate diagrammatic repre-sentation.Results A total of 698 articles were identified and 41 high -frequently used keywords were extracted. Within the network planning of co -word relationship of high -frequency keywords,pediatric epilepsy was in the core rank,antiepileptic drugs,electroencephalogram,infantile spasm and treatment were hot topic issues.Pediatric epilepsy and electroencephalogram kept close relationships,so were pediatric epilepsy and antiepileptic drugs.Research status of Chinese childhood epilepsy was successfully represented and the possible future research was predicted through co -word analysis of these high -frequently used keywords.Conclusions At present,studies on childhood epilepsy are mostly focused on electroencephalogram,drug therapy,cognitive function,refractory epilepsy,pathogenesis as well as in-fantile spasms,but further research is needed to investigate the rehabilitation,comorbidity and immunity.

Objective To explore the related factors and clinical significance of the effect of irrigation on infant with dacryocystitis. Methods A total of 318 eyes of 262 infant were treated with dacryocystitis, and their overall curative effect was observed. Single factor correlation analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze 8 factors related to efficacy, such as age of children, length of medical history, severity of symptoms, degree of operation of nurses, degree of parental cooperation, compliance with medication, massage therapy and treatment methods. The effect of each factor on the curative effect. Results It was found that the total effective rate was 90.56 percent of the lacrimal passage in children with 318 tear channel obstruction and dacryocystitis.Single factor analysis results show that the factors influencing the curative effect of single in treatment (χ2= 88.984, P < 0.01), symptom severity (χ2=14.185,P < 0.05) length of history (χ2=18.783, P < 0.05) difference and massage therapy (χ2=10.081, P < 0.05) was statistically significant, the three factors of multiariable Logistic regression analysis results showed that the treatment (P=0.000, OR=0.148,95％ CI 0.052- 0.419) and massage therapy (P=0.012, OR=3.390, 95％ CI 1.309- 8.777) affected infant lacrimal duct flushing out main factors influencing the efficacy of tong. Conclusions The main influencing factors are the different treatment modalities, severity of symptoms the length of medical history and massage therapy in the related factors that affect the effect of infantwith dacryocystitis.

OBJECTIVETo assess the safety and clinical efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with various stents for treating patients with cirrhosis and esophageal gastric varices bleeding.

METHODSOne hundred and five patients were stratified according to stent type: bare stent group, covered stent-grafts group, combined stents group. Rates of success, shunt insufficiency, rebleeding, patient survival, and major complications were observed. The shunt insufficiency rate, rebleeding rate, and survival rate were calculated by the life tables method, the Kaplan-Meier analytical curve, and the log-rank test; a p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTSThe overall success rate of all TIPS for treating the esophageal gastric varices bleeding was 100%. The overall shunt insufficiency rates at 6-, 12-and 24-months post-TIPS were 8%, 9% and 16%, rebleeding rates were 2%, 6% and 17%, and survival rates were 100%, 97% and 94%. The shunt insufficiency rate was 26% in the bare stent group, 14% in the covered stent-grafis group, and 5% in the combined stents group (x2=1.00, P=0.61). The rebleeding rate was 33% in the bare stent group, 7% in the covered stent-grafts group, and 3%in the combined stents group (x2=1.69, P=0.43). The survival rate was 92% in the bare stent group, 93% in the covered stent-grafts group, and 100% in the combined stents group (x2=1.91, P=0.39). The shunt insufficiency rates were higher in patients with splenectomy than in those without splenectomy (30% vs.14%; x2=4.15, P=0.04). The intraperitoneal hemorrhage rates in the covered stent-grafis group and the combined stents group were significantly lower than that in the bare stent group (0% vs 0% vs 13%; x2=8.88, P=0.01).

CONCLUSIONSTIPS with an 8 mm stent effectively treated and prevented esophageal gastric varices bleeding in patients with cirrhosis. Intraperitoneal hemorrhaging caused by TIPS was significantly decreased in the covered stent-grafts group and combined stents group,which represented an improvement in safety of this treatment. However, the influence of covered stent-grafis and combined stents towards the clinical efficacy of TIPS needs further study.

AIMTo evaluate the fertilization competence of spermatozoa from ejaculates and testicle when the oocytes were matured in vitro following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

METHODSFifty-six completed cycles in 46 women with polycystic ovarian syndrome were grouped according to the semen parameters of their male partners. Group 1 was 47 cycles that presented motile and normal morphology spermatozoa in ejaculates and Group 2 was the other nine cycles where male partners were diagnosed as obstructive azoospermia and spermatozoa could only be found in testicular tissue fragment. All female patients received minimal stimulation with gonadotropin. Immature oocytes were matured in vitro and inseminated by ICSI. The spermatozoa from testes were retrieved by testicular fine needle aspiration.

RESULTSA total of 449 and 78 immature oocytes were collected and cultured for 48 hours, 75.5 % (339/449) and 84.6 % (66/78) oocytes were matured in Groups 1 and 2, respectively. The percentage of oocytes achieving normal fertilization was significantly higher in Group 1 than that in Group 2 (72.9 % vs. 54.5 %, P 0.05). There were no significant differences in the rates of oocytes cleavage and clinical pregnancies in these two groups [87.4 % (216/247) vs. 88.9 % (32/36); 21.3 % (10/47) vs. 44.4 % (4/9)]. A total of 15 babies in the two groups were healthy delivered at term.

CONCLUSIONIt appears that IVM combined with ICSI using testicular spermatozoa can produce healthy infants, while the normal fertilization rate of in vitro matured oocytes after ICSI using testicular spermatozoa was significantly lower than using the ejaculated spermatozoa.

The clinical data of a case of neonatal bacterial meningitis complicated with posterior fossa subdural empyema in the West China Second University Hospital in December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The 3-day-old male newborn was admitted for jaundice with decreased intake for 1 day.Examinations on admission showed increased C-reactive protein.The count of karyocytes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) significantly increased, which were mainly neutrophils, and pyocytes could be found.The protein content in CSF increased, while that of glucose decreased.Both CSF culture and blood culture detected the presence of Escherichia coli.Enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head indicated large abnormal signals in bilateral occipital extra-cerebellar spaces.T1-weighted images presented mixed low and high signals, and T2-weighted images presented high signals, and marginal enhancement was observed after enhancement.After 6 weeks of antibiotic treatment using Meropenem combined with Ceftazidime, the CSF index of the newborn patient returned to normal, and the subdural empyema of the posterior fossae subsided.Bacterial meningitis complicated with subdural empyema of posterior fossa is a rare and critical disease of the central nervous system.It is easily misdiagnosed due to the atypical clinical manifestations and early imaging features.The disease requires an adequate course of anti-infective treatment.Surgical removal of the empyema should be performed if the anti-infective treatment is unresponsive.
