Objective To comparison of the quality of life in children with migraine and quality of life in children with primary epilepsy(EP)or Tourette's syndrome(TS).Methods There were 239 children with moderate migraine,the time of which lasted from 6 to 36(12.14?4.67)months,headache index 4-20(9.98?3.74).There were 250 cases and 424 cases with EP or TS,respectively,both team members were under good control with single drug therapy,the diagnosed according to the international classification of headache disorders-Ⅱ.The pediatric quality of life inventory,version 4.0,age 8-12 years,and child report forms were used to evaluate the quality of life in children with migraine and the other two kinds of samples by Bonferroni and Mann-Whitney tests.Results The scores of quality of life in children with moderate migraine were lower than those in children with EP(total score 69.06?10.48 vs 81.26?13.80;physical function scores 67.43?14.37 vs 83.14?14.70;psychological function scores 69.92?10.56 vs 80.26?14.32;emotional function scores 66.76?14.09 vs 80.90?18.93;social function scores 76.81?14.67 vs 83.36?17.40;school function scores 66.20?13.62 vs 76.52?13.80).The scores of quality of life in children with moderate migraine were lower than those in children with TS(total scores 69.06?10.48 vs 79.18?11.45;physical function scores 67.43?14.37 vs 81.52?12.61;psychological function scores 69.92?10.56 vs 77.90?12.28;emotional function scores 66.76?14.69 vs 74.07?16.34;social function scores 76.81?14.07 vs 89.06?16.23;school function scores 66.20?13.62 vs 70.35?16.96).Two sets of data between children with moderate migraine and those with EP,TS showed statistical significance(Pa

Objective To systematically evaluate the association between IL-6 gene rs1800796 polymorphism and febrile seizures(FS)susceptibility.Methods The related literatures on IL-6 gene rs1800796 polymorphism and febrile seizures(FS)susceptibility were retrieved from PubMed,Web of Science Embase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,WanFang,VIP and CBM Databases by computer.OR and its 95％CI were taken as the pooled effects.The RevMan 5.2 software was adopted to conduct the statistical analysis.The publication bias analysis was performed by using the STATA12.0 software.Results Seven independent case-control studies were included according to the inclusion and exclusion standard,involving 516 accumulated cases and 528 controls.The results showed that IL-6 gene rs1800796 polymorphism had a significant association with FS susceptibility in Chinese population(GG+CG vs.CC:OR=2.22,P=0.05;G vs.C:OR=2.44,P<0.01;GG vs.CC:OR=3.69,P=0.03;GG vs.CG+CC:OR=3.43,P<0.01).The subgroup analysis was conducted according to possible important confounding factors,and the results showed that this gene polymorphism had a significant association with FS susceptibility in Chinese population(GG+CG vs.CC:OR=3.32,P<0.01;G vs.C:OR=3.23,P<0.01;GG vs.CC:OR=7.27,P<0.01;GG vs.CG+CC:OR=5.17,P<0.01:CG vs.CC:OR=2.56,P=0.02).But in other populations,except recessive model(GG vs.CG+CC:OR=2.40,P<0.01),all other genetic models did not display obvious correlation.The subgroup analysis was conducted by FS diagnostic standard,and the results showed that this gene polymorphism had a significant correlation with infantile FS onset in diagnosing FS by the Chinese standard(GG+CG vs.CC:OR=4.57,P<0.01;G vs.C:OR=4.36,P<0.01;GG vs.CC:OR=12.75,P<0.01;GG vs.CG+CC:OR=8.60,P<0.01:CG vs.CC:OR=3.40,P<0.01).Conclusion IL-6 gene rs1800796 polymorphism may be associated with infantile FS susceptibility and allele G may be a risk factor for FS onset.

AIM: To study the chloride channel activity [ICl_(Ca)] in vascular smooth cells of the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS: The vascular beds of mesenteric arteries were isolated from the pentobarbital anesthetized rats and perfused with 37 ℃ PSS at a constant flow rate. The vasoconstriction response to norepinphrine (NE) was determined by changes in perfused pressure. The strips of the rat arteries were mounted in an organ chamber filled with 37 ℃ PSS and the vascular tension was measured. RESULTS: (1) The contractile responses of mesenteric arteries to NE in SHR were greater than that in Wistar rats. (2) The inhibitory magnitude of the contractile response by niflumic acid in SHR was significantly less than that in Wistar rats and showed dose-dependent manner. (3) Decreasing the extracellular Cl~- concentration increased the contractile response to NE significantly and the amplitude of enhanced contractile response in SHR was greater than that in Wistar rats. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that NE-induced contraction is enhanced in SHR, which is partly due to an increase in Cl~- efflux through the Ca~(2+)-activated Cl~- channels. The chloride channel activity may increase in association with the elevation of vascular tone and blood pressure.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in northeast Sichuan area.Methods A total of 8 053 adult residents(over 18 years old)from the hospital who had underwent physical examination were recruited in the study.The concentrations of Fasting plasma glucose(FPG),glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1C)and blood lipids were measured.Diabetes and prediabetes were defined according to the 2013 American Diabetes Association criteria.Results The FPG and HbA1C concentra-tions increased with age.The overall prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes were estimated to be 8.5% and 39.6% in the adult pop-ulation in northeast sichuan area respectively.The prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in men were significantly higher than those in women(10.7% vs.5.7%,41.5% vs.37.2%,P <0.05,respectively).Furthermore,the prevalence of diabetes increased with age,and the prevalence of prediabetes had a trend of first enhancement followed by a decline.Conclusion The prevalence of diabe-tes and prediabetes are relatively high in northeast Sichuan area.

Objectiye To investgate the effects of isoflurane preconditioning on expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) during focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in rats. Methods Thirty male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 10 each):sham operation group (group S);focal cerebral IR group and isoflurane preconditioning group (group IP). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 40 mg/kg. In group IR and IP a nylon thread with rounded tip was inserted into right internal jugular vein and threaded cranially until resistance was met. Mid-cerebral artery was occluded (MCAO) for 2 h followed by 24 h reperfusion. In group IP the animals inhaled 2% isoflurane98 % O2 for 1 h once a day for 5 consecutive days at 24 h before MCAO. Neurologic function was assessed and scored and cerebral infarct volume was measured at 24 h of reperfusion. The animals were sacrificed at 24, 48 and 72 h of reperfusion respectively. The right ischemic frontal lobes were removed for determination of TLR4, MyD88and NF-κB expression by Western blot analysis. Results MCAO significantly worsened neurologic function. The neurologic function deficit scores were significantly increased and the TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB expression were significantly up-regulated in group IR as compared with group S (P ＜ 0.05). Isoflurane preconditioning significantly decreased cerebral infarct volumes and neurologic function deficit scores and down-regulated the expression of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB in group IP as compared with group IR ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Isoflurane preconditioning can reduce inflammatory response and focal cerebral IR injury by down-regulating the expression of TLR4and Myd88.
