Ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat,low-protein,low-carbohydrate diet that results in series of adaptive changes such as ketosis,fatty acid increasing and glycolysis depression.The mechanisms of the epilepsy correlated with the iron channel,neurotransmitter and neurocyte injury.The novel stresses the antiepileptic effects of above general changes in controlling the iron channels open or close,balancing the excitable and inhibitive neurotransmitters,increasing energy reserve,inhibiting free radical production and promoting neurocyte regeneration.

Objective To explore the changes of plasma catecholamines(CA)[including epinephrine(E) and norepinephrine(NE)] and atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) in children with varying degrees of left ventricular ejection function(LVEF) in chronic heart failure(CHF),and establish natriuretic hormone factors as one of the diagnostic criteria of CHF.Methods Thirty-five patients with CHF and 35 children in good health were enrolled,and the concentration of plasma NE,E,ANP and the LVEF were determined.Results 1.The levels of plasma NE,E and ANP in 35 patients with CHF before treatment were significantly higher than those in control group(Pa

AIM　The aim is to investigate the chemical constituents of Belamcanda chinensis. METHODS　The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by solvent extraction together with various chromatographic techniques. The stuctures was elucidated on the basis of chemical evidence and spectral data. RESULTS　Eight compounds were isolated from the ethanol extract of the rhizome of Belamcanda chinensis (L.)DC..Among them,six isoflavones were elucidated as irilone(Ⅰ)、genistein(Ⅱ)、tectorigenin(Ⅲ)、 irigenin(Ⅳ)、dimethyltectorigenin(Ⅴ)、irisflorentin(Ⅵ). CONCULSION　 ⅠandⅡ were isolated from this medicinal plant for the first time.

A 48-year-old female presented with a one-week history of painful and enlarged lymph nodes in the left neck.One-week systemic treatment with antibiotics resulted in no obvious improvement.Skin examination revealed palpable lymph nodes between the left lateral cervical papillae and clavicle,which appeared as a string of beads with a little mobility and obvious tenderness.The largest diameter of enlarged lymph nodes was about 2 cm.No enlarged lymph nodes were palpable in the other body sites.Histopathologically,histiocytes of various shapes,immunoblasts and plasmacytoid monocytes markedly proliferated with different degrees of karyorrhexis.Immunohistochemistry revealed that the lesions were positive for CD3,CDS,CD68,mouse macrophage inflammatory protein,and CD20.A diagnosis of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis was made.

Emergency departments of hospitals are exposed to risks of patient complaints and disputes, and the emergency department of a stomatology hospital is no exception. Medical disputes at the emergency department of Peking University Stomatology Hospital, as registered at the department of medical affairs of the hospital in the past ten years, are analyzed with statistical processing. The results are used in studying characteristics of medical disputes frequently found in stomatology emergency cases, for references and recommendations on prevention and avoidance of such disputes in future.

ObjectTo investigate the chemical constituents in the rhizoma of Belamcanda chinensis (L.) DC. MethodsThe chemical constituents were isolated and purified by solvent extraction together with various chromatographic techniques. The structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical evidence and spectral data. ResultsThree compounds were isolated from the EtoAC extracts of the rhizome of B. chinensis which were isorhamnetin (Ⅹ), hispidulin (Ⅺ), dichotomitin ( ⅩⅡ); four compounds were isolated from n-BuOH extracts, which were iridin ( ⅩⅢ), tectoridin (ⅩⅣ), daucosterol ( ⅩⅤ), vittadinoside or stigmasterol-3-O-glucoside ( ⅩⅥ). ConclusionCompound Ⅺ is isolated from this medicinal plant for the first time.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the quality of clinical pharmacy undergraduates in our university. METHODS:Considering about the practice problems of clinical pharmacy undergraduates in our university,pilot reform was con-ducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of our university in respects of teacher arrangement,department rotation assignment,assess-ment method. RESULTS:For new practice mode,in term of teacher arrangement,when the students were practicing in clinical pharmacy department,they were taught by clinical doctors and pharmacists;teacher training should be strengthened,and a variety of teaching methods was carried out. In term of department rotation assignment,to shorten the practice time of basic pharmacy de-partment,and increase the clinical pharmacy practice department and practice time;to integrate the content of clinical medicine and clinical pharmacy practice,and select clinical medical departments equipped with clinical pharmacists to practice. In term of assess-ment method,there were 3 aspects including clinical pharmacy practice skills assessment,drug-related theory examination and ba-sic situation assessment during internship. CONCLUSIONS:The new practice mode focuses on clinical pharmacy application skills training and students practical skills assessment,contributes to cultivate students'thinking of rational drug use and improves clini-cal practice skill of students. It is suitable for clinical pharmacy undergraduate internship of our university.
