Narcolepsy is a common chronic sleep disorder attacking adolescence,characterized by a typical tetrad of excessive daytime sleepiness,cataplexy,sleep paralysis and hypnagonic/hypnopompic hallucinations,affecting both mental and psychological aspects of children.Thus,making an early diagnosis and therapy is of great importance.Clinical diagnosis mainly depends on the multiple sleep latency test across the video electroencephalogram.In this article,we mainly describe the diagnosis and treatment progress of pediatric narcolepsy and clinical value of video-electroencephalogram.

Objective To investigate the relationship between PreS1 antigen and five items of HBV serological markers(HBV M), as well as the clinical significance of combined measurement of PreS1 antigen and HBV M in patients with hepatitis B. Methods Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to testing serum in 268 patients with hepatitis B. Results The detection rate of PreS1 antigen was 85.88% in HBeAg'positive samples,significantly higher than that in HBeAg nega-tive samples(39.34%), P<0.01. Conclusion PreS1 antigen may effectively reflect the situation of HBV amplification. Combined measurement of PreS1 antigen and HBV serological markers in clinical examination contributes to clinical diagnosis,therapeutic effect monitoring and prognosis evaluation.

OBJECTIVETo systematically evaluate the effectiveness of integrative medicine (IM) for preventing postoperative recurrence of primary hepatic carcinomas (PHC).

METHODSSuch databases as The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, Wan-fang Database were retrieved to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on preventing postoperative recurrence of PHC by IM. The retrieval period started from database establishment to June 2013. Literature screening, data extraction, and quality evaluation were performed by two reviewers strictly according to inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.2 Software.

RESULTSA total of 5 RCTs involving 367 patient cases were included. Results of Meta-analysis showed that the IM group was superior to the Western medicine (WM) group in the 1-, 2-, and 3-year recurrence rates (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIn the prevention of postoperative recurrence of PHC, the effectiveness of IM was more significant, when compared with treatment of Western medicine.

Objective To understand the the current situation of the slogans in the schistosomiasis health education from the linguistic aspect.Methods Sixty-two slogans in the schistosomiasis health education were collected,then the rationality and validity of them were analyzed from two aspects :the language form and the semantic content.Results Most of the slogans had the appropriate language form and the rational semantic content,they could propagandize the policy and educate the people very well,but there were still some slogans had the inappropriate language form or have the irrational semantic content and so on.Conclusion In order to make the slogans in the schistosomiasis health education more effective,we should attach importance to the language form and the semantic content of them.

Objective To reveal the research focus of schistosomiasis in China through analyzing highly cited schistosomiasis related papers in journals from 2005 to 2012,so as to provide the information for formulating the plan of selecting topics of the edi-tors. Methods The published articles related to schistosomiasis in CNKI from 2005 to 2012 were collected,the citation frequen-cy of the papers was calculated according to formula,and the highly cited papers were selected according to the citation frequency. Then the information of highly cited papers including the published time,type,author and author affiliation,citation frequency, journal,grant and research item,research status and development tendency were analyzed. Results A total of 3 639 published papers related to schistosomiasis were searched and 343 papers(the citation frequency≥8)were selected as highly cited papers, and Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control shared 45.19%of them. Among these papers,original articles,reviews and special reports occupied 44.90%,12.54%and 6.12%,respectively. The first authors of these papers were mainly from centers for disease control and prevention(CDCs)(17.33%),research institutions(22.67%)and colleges/universities(36.00%). Totally 50.44%of the articles received financial supports from research funds/foundations,and most of them were national or provincial funds. The research hotspots focused on epidemiology and prevention,epidemic situation analysis,vaccine,immunologic diagnosis,pharma-ceutical research,immunity and infection. Conclusions The highly cited papers related to schistosomiasis are mainly from CDCs,institutions and colleges/universities. The research hotspots mainly focus on epidemiology and prevention,vaccine,immu-nology and pharmaceutical study. The related journals can use this information to chose topic and solicit contributions to improve their influence.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of volatile oil of Pogostemon cablin on the expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin in colonic mucosal epithelial cells of rats with post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome(PI-IBS). METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into normal control group(distilled water),model group(distilled water),Trimebutine maleate tablet group(TMT,0.1 g/kg)and volatile oil of P. cablin low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups [2,3,4 g(crude drug)/kg] with 8 rats in each group. Except for normal control group,those groups were given colon perfusion of acetic acid to induce PI-IBS mod-el. After modeling,they were given relevant medicine intragastrically once a day for consecutive 5 days. The expression of ZO-1 and Occludin [by IOD] and their distribution were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS:In normal control group,ZO-1 and Occludin evenly distributed on the top of enterocyte,manifesting as alveolate and punctiform;in model group,ZO-1 and Oc-cludin scattered on the top of enterocyte,showing uneven dyeing or fade;the distribution of ZO-1 and Occludin in volatile oil of P. cablin groups was similar to normal control group,and its dyeing was lighter than that of normal control group. IOD value of ZO-1 and Occludin in model group were lower than in normal control group(P<0.01);those of volatile oil of P. cablin high-dose group and the IOD value of ZO-1 of P. cablin medium-dose group and TMT group were higher than those of model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The volatile oil of P. cablin can up-regulate the expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occlu-din in colonic mucosal epithelial cells of rats with PI-IBS.

MLST also provides more evidence and plays an important role in parasite research. This paper reviews the principle and method of MLST and its applica-tion on population genetic structure analysis of parasites.

Objective To analyze the discourse right construction of China’s medical aid to Africa,so as to provide evidenc?es for improving the effect and sustainable development of China’s medical aid to Africa. Methods The documents of the dis?course right that China constructed in the medical aid to Africa were selected at different periods as discourse samples. The achievement and deficiency were analyzed from four aspects,namely confident,charismatic,influential,and dominant. Re?sults China’s medical team made much in the discourse right construction in their aid to Africa,but some China’s medical team members were still too cautious and too low?key. China’s medical team gained the trust of the people of Africa,but the lan?guage communication difficulties still hampered in China’s medical aid to Africa. Chinese medical team were widely praised by the African society,but in the west,some African media,even China’s media still neglected to report China’s doctors. China’s international discourse right were greatly improved,but western countries still dominated the public opinion. Conclusion Chi?na should refer to the actual situation of medical aid to Africa to strengthen the construction of discourse right.

Objective To summarize the modified clinical technique and experience of simultaneous kidney-pancreatic transplantation (SKPT) with enteric drainage(ED). Methods Two patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease underwent SKPT with enteric drainage of exocrine secretions.The patients were treated with quadruple therapy including antithymocyte globulin (ATG) induction therapy,prednisone,FK506,and Mycophenolate-Mofetil(MMF), as maintenance immunosuppression. Results The two patients became insulin-independent after treated by small dose insulin for 5～10 days and Scr,BUN became normal 3～5 days after the operation.Until now all the grafts of the patients functioned well. Conclusions ED-SKPT is more effective than simultaneous kidney-pancreatic transplantation with bladder drainage (BD-SKPT).ED-SKPT is an effective method for treating type Ⅰdiabetes mellitus with uremia.Finer allograft and nicer HLA-typing can decrease complications.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of repairing spinal tracts with peripheral nerve graft combing neurotrophic factors in rats following complete spinal cord transection.Methods One hundred and twenty-one male Wistar Rats were transection at T9 level of spinal cord, and randomly divided into five groups. Group A with spinal cord transection was underwent acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) treatment and peripheral nerve grafts (n=25); Group B: spinal cord transection was underwent aFGF treatment only (n=25); Group C: spinal cord transection was underwent peripheral nerve grafts only (n=25); Group D: spinal cord transaction only (n=25); and Group E: sham control (laminectomy only, n=21). The locomotor behavior of all rats was analyzed by the BBB open field locomotor test over the six months of survival time. Motor evoked potentials (MEP) were used to evaluate axon growth across the damage site. Biotinylated Dextran Amine (BDA) and retrograde tracing with fluorogold were used to evaluate the presence of axons through the damage site after treatment. Results The presence of anterograde BDA labeling of corticospinal tract axons at the graft site and fluorogold retrograde labeling of neuron populations was found in motor cortex and in red nucleus, reticulospinal nuclei, raphe nuclei, and vestibular nuclei in Group A. The average latency and amplitude of MEP were improved significantly in Group C. The mean of BBB scores showed significant improvement in Group A. Statistical analysis indicated that Group A had significant improvement compared to Group BC and D at 6 months post-surgery (P
