Herald of Medicine 2016;35(9):951-954
Objective To study the effect of night large dose of sodium valproate on epileptiform discharges,and cognitive function of benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes. Methods Ninety cases of benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes were randomly divided into treatment group and control group (n= 45), both groups received regular total doses of sodium valproate therapy 25-30 mg?kg-1 ?d-1 . Patients in the treatment group received treatment that night doses of sodium valproate was double of morning doses. Every night dose was (17.96±1.21) mg?kg-1 , and every morning dose was (8.92±0.62) mg?kg-1 . The control group received the same dose [(13.37±0.80) mg?kg-1 ] of sodium alproate therapy twice a day, morning and evening. The epileptiform discharges, cognitive function, therapy effect were compared between two groups. Results Total effective rate of treatment group was 82.22% which were was significantly higher than that of the control group 62.22%(P<0.05);Epileptiform discharges reduction of treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), the effective rate of EEG improvement (84.44%)in treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group 66.67% (P<0.05); FIQ, VIQ, PIQ in treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05); There were no statistical differences of adverse reactions between two groups. Conclusion Night large dose of sodium valproate treatment can help control epileptic discharge, increase the plasma concentration, improve cognitive function, and therapy effect.

The object of medical research is human life,thus the understanding level of human being determines medical mode and the development of medical science.The origin of Marx's theory on human being is the realistic human,which provides methodological basis for reflecting on the biomedical faults from a logical perspective.Marx held that technology is the objectization of the essential power of human being,while technology under the context of capitalist production relations has been turned into certain means to control workers.Tend of dissimilation also arises in some modern medical fields,thus serious reflection and criticism are in great need.The overall development of human being is the core content in Marx's theory on human being.Since modern medicine is during the transition from bio-medical model to bio-psycho-social medial model,the new medical model calls for an overall development of main body in all aspects including qualification,ability,and social relations,etc.

Objective To observe the effects of interical epileptiform discharges (IED) on emotional behavior and spatial learning and memory of rats.Methods 76 male Wistar rats were divided randomly into 4 groups. Group HK/SE (n=23) for kindling with rapidly recurring hippocampal seizure followed by subconvulsive electrical stimulation to hippocampus 13 days later. Group HK (n=20) for hippocampal kindling. Group SE (n=17) for control of electrode implanted in hippocampus without stimulation, and Group NC (n=16) for normal control. The emotional behaviors of experimental animals were tested by the activity in an unfamiliar open field and resistance to capture from the open field, as well as their spatial learning ability in the Morris watermaze.Results The IED rats in Group HK/SE tested 14 days after hippocampal kindling displayed substantial decreases in open-field activity (scale: 17.3?3.6 for NC group, and 4.6?1.3 for IED rats, P

Objective To study the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) and nerve growth factor(NGF) in the guinea pig cochlea of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, and to understand its protective role for the inner ear.Methods The animals were divided into normal group and experimental group with cisplatin. Sodium chloride was used for the control. All animals were sacrificed on the day 3, 5 and 7, and the cochlea were used for BDNF and NGF staining.Results The weak expression of BDNF and the moderate expression of NGF were observed in the cochlea in the normal group. The strongest expression of BDNF and NGF was observed in the animals with cisplatin.Conclusion The existence of NGF in the normal cochlea indicates that NGF plays an important role to maintain auditory physiology.BDNF and NGF may be involved in self-protection mechanism for the cochlea and auditory nerves from cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.

Objective To study the early diagnostic value of CT for children with cerebral palsy.Methods CT manifestations of 124 cases with cerebral palsy were analysed retrospectively. Results 96 cases of the 124 cases showed a recognisable abnormality,the abnormal rate of CT was about 77.42% ,and the most common abnormality was cerebral atrophy.Spastic type was the most common clinical type(71.77% ).The less of the age,the higher of the abnormal rate of CT. Conclusion Although CT isn't the main basis of the diagnosis of cerebral palsy,it's helpful for us to find the pathological changes,and to find the eliology and location.It also provided basis for us to judge the prognosis of cerebral palsy.So CT has significant value in the early diagnosis of cerebral palsy.

By inflicting the hindlimbs of dogs with steel bullets in different velocities, a model of traumatic stress was reproduced. The contents of myelin basic protein (MBP) and endothelin 1 (ET1) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were determined with ELISA and radioimmunoassay methods, and the wltrastructural changes in limbic system were studied with neuropathological techniques. The MBP level and ET1 contents increased markedly in CSF, and neuronal degeneration and nerve fiber demyelination were seen in the hypothalamus and hippocampus in high speed missile group. The results indicate that the hypothalamus and hippocampus were vulnerable in severe injury of remote tissues,and it might be one of the important neuropathological basis for changes in the early stage of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The results also suggested that the CSF MBP and CSF ET1 determinations might serve as sensitive indicators for central nervous system damage in stress disorder following severe injury.
