Objective To evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of the model for managing patients with convulsive epilepsy in rural China.Methods The model is under leadership of the government departments and medical institutions at all levels organized primary physicians for treatment and management.People with convulsive epilepsy in 24 rural areas were screened by local physicians and confirmed by neurologists.Patients diagnosed with convulsive epilepsy and agreed with managing were recruited into study.They were managed at primary care level and provided with phenobarbital monotherapy.Efficacy was assessed from the changes in seizure frequencies from baseline.Results There were 408 town hospitals and 979 trained primary care physicians participating in our study.Five thousand and thirty-eight patients were enrolled in 2 years,and 90％ patients with good compliance.Among the people who were treated with phenobarbital monotherapy,3 170 were managed for 12 months,and 2 005 (63.3％) of whom had a 50％ or greater reduction in seizure frequency and 1 246 (39.3％)patients remained seizure free;651 patients were managed for 24 months,and 491 (75.4％) of whom had a 50％ or greater reduction in seizure frequency and 202(31.0％)patients remained seizure free.Three hundred and forty-three (6.8％) patients withdrew from the study,and only 35 (0.7％) patients discontinued treatment because of side effects.Sixty-nine (1.4％) patients were dead and 8 (11.6％) of them were caused by status epilepticus.Conclusion This study confirms that this model is beneficial to patients with epilepsy and is suitable to the rural areas of China.

As a novel Golgi protein,GOLPH2 expression is associated with maintaining the structural integrity of the Golgi apparatus.As an oncoprotein,GOLPH2 expression is associated with malignant biological behavior of cancer cells.Important roles of GOLPH2 in the tumorigenesis and metastasis make it become a new target for tumor diagnosis and treatment.

It has recently been demonstrated that anti-angiogenesis drugs targeting every possible aspect of tumor angiogenesis effectively inhibit the growth, invasion and metastasis of breast cancer with low sideeffects and drug resistance. These types of anti-angiogenesis drugs have become a hotspot in the field of breast cancer research.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) are a population of multipotent cells. Many researchers have studied whether BMSCs could differentiate into neurons in vivo and ex vivo. Although some studies didn't agree with about some chemical induction medium inducing neurons, the application of cell transplantion and gene therapy of BMSCs has achieved certain progress showing good future for BMSCs in therapy of nervous system diseases.

Objective To study the clinical, imageological and pathologic characters of primary synovial chondromatosis of hip joint, and effect of open surgery. Method 12 cases of primary synovial chondromatosis of the hip joints admitted from May 1973 to May 2004 were retrospectively studied in respect to clinical manifestations, X-ray picture, and pathological findings. The effects of operation were followed up. Results Intermittent pain, swelling, limitation of hip joints were the main complaints. Mass and myatrophy near involved hip joint were discernible in a few patients. Although there was no obvious image of calcification, swelling of articular capsule was seen in X-ray film in 4 patients. CT scan showed arthroedema, loose bodies and bone erosion of the femoral head in the hip joint. The X-ray films of the other 8 patients showed obvious calcified loose bodies. All cases were diagnosed by pathology after operations. 8 cases were categorized Milgram Ⅱstage, and 4 cases Milgram Ⅲ stage. Eight patients were followed-up for a period of 1 to 7 years (mean 5 years). Recurrence occurred in 2 cases. Conclusion The diagnosis should be based on clinical characters, X-ray films and pathologic findings, and the pathology is most reliable. In order to decrease recurrence, CT or MRI examinations should be taken before the operation. X-ray monitoring should be carried out during the operation of the patient in whom loose bodies were found in X-ray film before the operation.

The correlation between lipids and stroke is complex. The levels of serum total cholesterol can increase the risk of stroke no matter it is too high or too low. Low-density lipoprotein is the risk factor of atherosclerotic stroke, while high-density lipoprotein is its protective factor. Triglyceride is closely associated with ischemic stroke. This article reviews the relationship between lipids and stroke, as well as the role of lipid-modulating therapy in the prevention and treatment of stroke.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the early image alterations of primary liver cancer (PLC) treated by high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). MethodsA total of 55 PLC patients underwent extracorporeal HIFU ablation. Color Doppler ultrasound, digital substraction angiography (DSA), computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed to monitor the therapeutic response.ResultsImage examinations obtained 2 weeks after HIFU ablation showed significant response of PLC. MRI was the best for evaluating HIFU efficacy. Unenhanced MRI revealed signal alterations on both T 1 and T 2 weighted images, and enhanced MRI demonstrated the absence of contrast enhancement in the treated HCC and a thin peripheral rim of enhancement surrounding the coagulation necrosis. ConclusionMRI rapidly assesses HIFU induced complete ablation of HCC, residual viable cancer tissure in treated region, and coagulation extent of HIFU treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effects of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1 ) infused in the pulmonary artery of the ventilated lung on hemodynamics and pulmonary gas exchange during one-lung ventilation (OLV).Methods Experiments were performed on 12 healthy pigs of both sexes (6 males , 6 females) aged 3 months, weighing 14-17 kg. The animals were anesthetized with intramuscular ketamine 15-20 mg?kg-1 , diazepam 1.5-2.0 mg?kg-1 and atropine. The animals were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation (FiO2 = 0.7, VT = 12-15 ml?kg-1, RR=15bpm, I:E=l:2). PaCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. Swan-Ganz catheter was positioned in the right pulmonary artery via the left femoral vein. The right femoral artery was cannulated for BP monitoring and blood sampling. Anesthesia was maintained with a mixture of ketamine 100 mg and succinylcholine 100 mg in 2% procaine 100 ml infused i.v. at a rate of 2-3 ml?kg-1?h-1. The animals were placed in right lateral position. The left chest was opened and OLV was established by clamping the left main bronchus. During OLV RR was increased from 15 to 20 bpm but the minute ventilation remained unchanged. The animals were randomly divided into 2 groups of six : group A and B. Group A received PGE1 infusion in the right pulmonary artery with an initial dose of 0.01 ?g?kg-1?min-1 which was gradually increased to 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.1 ?g?kg-1?min-1 . Theinfusion of each dose was maintained for 20 min. In group B normal saline was infused instead of PGE1. MAP, HR, CVP, PCWP, CO, PaO2 PvO2 were recorded at each dose and at 20, 40, 60 min after PGE1 infusion was terminated. Qs/Qt, PVR and SVR were calculated.Results MPAP, PVR, SVR, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and Qs / Qt significantly increased while CO, Cdyn and PaO2 significantly decreased (P 0.05) and a significant decrease of MPAP and PVR ( P
