Objective To evaluate the value of digital subtraction angiography(DSA) in diagnosis and planning endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. Methods Thirty-one children suspected with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases were treated by urokinase and dextran after they underwent DSA.Results Twenty-four cases (77%) had cerebrovascular abnormalities. Two cases had arteriovenous malformations, 1 case had posterior communicating artery aneurysm,21 cases had cerebrovascular stenosis or occlusions. Shortly after intervention therapy using urokinase,muscle strength increased by one level in 13 cases,two levels in 3 cases,3 levels in 2 cases and no effect in 4 cases. The total effective rate reached 86%. Seven patients with ischemic stroke achieved 100% recanalization. Conclusion DSA is very important in diagnosis of cerebrovascular stenosis and occlusion.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder affecting every organ system, but disease manifestations vary significantly among affected individuals.The diverse and varied presentations and progression can be life-threatening with significant impact on quality of life.The 2012 international Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Consensus Recommendations provide an evidence-based, standardized approach for optimal clinical care provided for individuals with TSC.

Objective To study the factor affecting the efficiency of establishment of parthenogenetic stem cells (PESCs)in mice. Methods PESC lines were derived from parthenogenetically activated blastocyst inner cell mass of different mice strains and cultured in different systems.Results The efficiency of establishing the pESC showed no significant difference in hybrid and inbred lines.But the efficiency was increased in culture systems added with ERK inhibitor or knockout serum replacement(KSR).Conclusion The efficiency of establishment of pESC was not directly related with the genetic background of mice but it was closely related to the culture systems.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of primary hepatocellular carcinoma of the liver(PCCCL)and assess the over-all survival rate of PCCCL after hepatectomy and the association between prognosis and clear cell ratio in PCCCL.Methods The clinicopathological data of 43 patients with PCCCL treated with hepatectomy in our hospital from January 1999 to December 2003 were retrospectively analyzed.Results X2 test showed a positive rate of HCV infection(14.0%)and capsule formation(88.4 0A)in the PCCCL group markedly higher than the positive rate of HCV infection(1.2%)and capsule formation(65.0%)in the CHCC group(P=0.000 and 0.005).Meanwhile,the vascular invasion rate was notably Iower in the PCCCL group(53.4%vs.65.0%),but there were no significant differences between the two groups(P=0.129).Kaplan-Meier method showed that the1-,3-and 5-year survival rates were significantly higher in the PCCCL group than in the CHCC group(81%,53%and 39%vs.76%,46%and 32 0A,P=0.021).The prognosis of patients in the PCCCL group was related to capsule formation.vascular invasion,liver cirrhosis and clear cell ratio.The 1-,3-and 5-year survival rates were markedly higher in the group with higher clear cell ratio (≥75%,subgroup B)than in group with lower clear cell ratio(＜75%,subgroup A)(80 0A,43%and 23%vs.85 0A,77% and 68%,P=0.011).Conclusion The notable clinicopathologicaI features of the patients with PCCCL are higher rates of HCV infection.capsule formation and lower rate of vascular invasion.Their prognosis is better than the patients with CHCC and related with the ratio of clear cell.

Tic disorders (TD) is a kind of neuropsychiatric disorders developing during childhood and cha-racterized by tics.In August 2020, the TD Consortium Neurology Group of Chinese Pediatric Society, Chinese Medical Association has developed an English version of Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Tic disorders in children to help improve the diagnosis, treatment and long-term management of TD, as well as international communication.Now the consensus is interpreted as follows, including its pathophysiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, comorbidity, treatment and prognosis.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of recombinant human interleukin-11 combined with ciclosporin in treatment of giucocorticoid invalid idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.MethodsFrom August 2009 to August 2011,35 cases with glucocorticoid invalid idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment method:13 cases in control group were treated with ciclosporin and 22 cases in observation group were treated with recombinant human interleukin-11 at basis of above method.The clinical effect and platelet counts between two groups were compared.Results The total effective rate in observation group was 90.9％ (20/22),which was significantly higher than that in control group [53.8％ (7/13)] (P ＜0.05).After treatment,the platelet counts in both two groups were significantly increased [control group:( 112.5 ± 15.4) × 109/t vs.(13.2 ± 1.8 ) × 109/L; observation group:( 132.7 ± 22.3 ) × 109/L vs.(12.9 ± 1.6) × 109/L] (P ＜ 0.05 ).Moreover,the platelet counts after treatment in observation group was significantly more than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionRecombinant human interleukin-11combined with ciclosporin in treatment of glucocorticoid invalid idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a good treatment scheme,which can be applied in clinic.

Objective To investigate the differential diagnosis of Reye syndrome and the characteristics of primary carnitine deficiency,and to provide diagnostic strategy for similar cases.Methods There was a case presented with fever,poor response,convulsions and hepatomegaly hospitalized in Wuhan Children's Hospital,and the clinical manifestations were described,the physical examination was comprehensively conducted,the auxiliary examination results were recorded,some pediatric specialists from ICU,neurology department,genetic metabolic department,digestive system department were invited to discuss the case.The treatment was adjusted according to the suggested opinions;the treatment effects and the final diagnosis were tracked.Results The primary diagnosis of the case was central nervous system infection or toxic encephalopathy at the time of admission,but Reye syndrome could not be excluded.Although the cerebrospinal fluid test and brain MRI examination detected nothing abnormal,liver function suggested alanine aminotrans ferase ALT increase,blood sugar decrease,the liver volume increase,which was detected by liver ultrasound.Blood amino acids examination revealed the carnitine level decreased,and it was confirmed as primary carnitine deficiency in the end.L-carnitine was used to treat the disease,and its effect was good.Conclusions Great importance should be attached to children with onset age,physical check-up,and multidisciplinary cooperation.Use monism to explain the illness and the auxiliary inspection as far as possible,so that it can get early diagnosis and treatment,and the outcome is good.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficiency of intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) with pattern and red color plastic plates in video-electroencephalography(EEG).Methods Three hundred and fifty-eight patients hospitalized in Wuhan Children's Hospital from March 2013 to March 2014 were selected,and they were examined by using stroboscope with a red plastic plate,a dots printed plastic plate,and ordinary white flicker for photic driving response (PDR),photoparoxysmal responses (PPR),photoconvulsive response (PCR).The results of patients with PDR,PPR,PCR were analyzed.Results The PDR synchronously evoked by the three flickering patterns were in 29 cases,and the amplitude of photic drivings evoked by ordinary white flicker and red flicker were higher than that of flickering dot pattern [(30.294 ± 7.767) μV,(31.103 ± 8.920) μV vs (24.436 ± 8.075) μV],and there were significant differences(t =2.983,2.815,P =0.003,0.008).However,there was no significant difference between ordinary white flicker and red flicker (t =0.368,P =0.710).The PPR evoked were in 17 cases,and 16 cases (94.12％) of them were evoked by red color,while 10 cases (58.82％) wcre evoked by white light,and 1 case only evoked by flickering dot pattern.However,stronger intensity and longer duration time of PPR were evoked by red color than by white light.In 3 patients with positive PCR,the epileptic seizure was more likely to be evoked by red color or pattern plastic plate.Conclusions IPS with red and pattem plastic plate is more potent in eliciting photosensitive epilepsy in video-EEG than the ordinary white light.Moreover,it could reduce the discomfort of eyes without influencing PDR in comparison to the ordinary white light.
