Objective To evaluate the value of Video-EEG for the diagnosis of children's non-epileptic seizures (NES). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 105 cases of children with NES, which were diagnosed by 1 to 4 hours' video-EEG surveillance. Risk factors that interfered with the diagnosis were discussed. Results There were 91 cases (87%) of physiological NES and 14 cases (13%) of psychological NES among the total 105 NES. Misdiagnoses were made in 11 of 43 cases who received common EEG examination before. Conclusion Video-EEG was a reliable method to confirm the clinical diagnosis of non-epileptic seizures and differentiate it from epilepsy. EEG abnormality during seizure-free periods was the main risk factor for the misdiagnosis of NES.

In order to explore the causes and nursing care of gastroesophageal reflux in patients with ceryical vertebra frac-ture and paraplegia,the clinical data of 79 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Among which,31 patients suffered from gas-troesophngeal reflux. The main causes of gastroesephageal reflux were improper body position,gastrointestinal dysfunction,con-sciousness disorders,lnappropriate nasngastric feeding,drng adverse reaction,inappropriate feeding time,lack of knowledge in nurse aids and family members. It is suggested to take proper body position,assess gastrointestinal functions,implement naso-gastric feeding correctly,observe patient carefully to detect gastroesophageal reflux as early as possible,as well as provide health education for the nurse aids and family members to prevent gastroesophageal reflux and complications.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of serum α-L-fueosidase (AFU), transforming growth factor alpha(TGF-α)and ferritin (Fer) in primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC). Methods AFU and Fer in the serum were studied in 36 patients with benign hepatism and 56 patients with low concentration AFP of PHC hepatic carcinoma by automatic biochemistry analyzer Roche Modular. ELISA was used to assay the degree of TGF-α The sensitivity and specificity of AFU, TGF-α and Fer for low expression AFP of PHC were evaluated by ROC curve. Results The serum AFU, Fer and TGF-α levels were all significant difference in the patients than those in controls (P <0.05). The area under ROC curve of these indexes in descending order was AFU (0.707), TGF-α (0.677) and Fer (0.592). The diagnostic sensitivity of Fer was lower than AFU and TGF-α in diagnosis of AFP lowly expression PHC. The ratio showed AFU better than TGF-α The diagnostic specificity of AFU (64 %) was higher than that of TGF-α (61%) when TGF-α and AFU was at the same diagnostic sensitivity (64 %). Conclusion AFU is more valuable than Fer and TGF-α for negative or AFP lowly expression PHC, meanwhile it has much more accuracy.

Objective To modify anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)reconstruction to achieve better structure;to measure the tunnel's position and shape using three-dimensional computed tomography (CT)so as to show the change of the femoral bony tunnel.Methods Forty-five patients were diagnosed with an ACL tear and subsequently underwent the modified ACL reconstruction,using a minor-diameter drill to drill the femoral tunnel and then expand it to oval-shaped tunnel with the raspatory between July 2014 and 2015.All procedures were conducted by the same experienced surgeon (Ao Yf.).In all patients,CT was performed at one week after the ACL reconstruction to evaluate the femoral tunnel's positioning,then the CT-images were imported into the image processing software MIMICS to reconstruct the femoral bony tunnel to measure the tunnel's diameters of the section and the shape.The tunnel's position was evaluated using the quadrant method.Results In all the 45 patients,the graft could pass the tunnel.And no posterior tunnel wall blowout,neurological or vascular deficit was documented during the operation.According to the different methods of modification (6 to 7,6 to 8 and 7 to 8),the long diameters of the sections of the femoral bony tunnels were 8.34-± 0.52 mm,10.65 ± 0.72mm,9.27-± 0.11 mm,without significant difference from the theoretical value (8.16 mm,10.66 mm and 9.14 mm).However,the short diameters of the sections were 6.57--0.12 mm,6.74-± 0.13 mm,and 7.52 ± 0.05 mm,showing significant difference from the theoretical value (6mm,6mm and 7 mm).The average centre of the femoral tunnel was located at 26.4 ± 4.8% of the femoral length and at 30.1 ± 5.6% of the femoral height.Conclusion In this modified ACL reconstruction,a minor-diameter drill is used to drill the femoral tunnel and then expand it to oval-shaped tunnel with the raspatory,The graft was matched well with the bony tunnel intraoperatively.The three-dimensional CT shows that the femoral tunnels are well located within the anatomical ACL footprint,and its entrance is closer to the natural state.
