This article reports the experience of treatment of 30 cases of temporal epilepsy with surgery. There were 15 male patients and 15 female. The duration of the disease ranged from 5 to 37 years with an average of 13.6 years. 12 patients suffered from grand and petite mal, 8 Jacksonian accompanied by psychomotor epilepsy, and 10 grand mal. Before the operation, the focus with sporadic spikes was found in the temporal lobe with electroencephalogram. Operation: the temporal pole and the medi-basal region were removed in 9 cases, anterior portion of the temporal nesiolobe in 10 cases, temporal neocortical of the temporal lobe in 6 cases, dorsolateral and laterobasal parts in 5 cases. Organic pathological changes were confirmed in all cases by pathological examination. Clinical result of all cases was satisfactory, with an effective rate of 93%. The clinical and pathological changes of epilepsy and efficacy of the treatment are discussed. It is stressed that the localization of the focus of epilepsy depe nds mainly on electroencephalogram. It is very important to look for sporadic spikes using cortical electrode during operation, and complete eradication of the focus is the key to achieve a good treatment effect.

Objective To investigate the effect of cell proliferation and apoptosis induced by Pingyangmycin (PYM)and dexamethasone (DEX) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC)in vitro, so as to provide therotical evidence for treatment of aneurysm with PYMand DEX. Methods Control, PYM, DEX and PYM group were established after HUVEC were cultured for 24 hours. Cell morphology was observed by inverted microscope.The effect of cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected with CCK-8reagents and flow Cytometry. The apoptotic protein expression of caspase-3 was testedthrough Western blot. Results Descend of adherent cell density and the ascend of floating cells could be observed after treated with PYM and DEX for 24 hours. HUVEC could be inhibited effectively with concentration-dependent on PYM and DEX. The significant statistical difference of cell apoptosis rate between the group used for PYM alone and the group combined low-concentration PYM with DEX through Flow Cytometrywas found. There was significant statistical difference of apoptotic protein expression of caspase-3 through Western blot compared with the group used for PYM alone and the group combined low-concentration PYM with DEX. Conclusion PYM and DEXcould inhibitthe proliferation of HUVEC alone. The better effects could be observed combination low-concentration PYM with DEX , the mechanism of which might beapoptosis with low-concentration PYM and necrosis with high-concentration PYM.

OBJECTIVE To explore the expression of Maspin in invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (IFRS) and the value of Maspin in the diagnosis of IFRS. METHODS Forty two cases of fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) were set as the experimental group, which included 12 cases of IFRS and 30 cases of noninvasive fungal rhino-sinusitis (NIFRS). At the same time, 30 cases of chronic rhino-sinusitis were set as control group. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression of Maspin. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the expression of Maspin in FRS group decreased statistically (t=-3.367, P<0.05). The IFRS group, compared with other two groups, had the lowest expression of Maspin (t=-3.390, P<0.05; t=-4.143, P<0.05). By using Maspin score of 5.70 as the cut-off point, the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of IFRS was 91.7% and 88.3% respectively. CONCLUSION The expression of Maspin is very low in IFRS group. Down-regulation of Maspin expression may be a potential indicator for diagnosis of IFRS.

Objective To discuss the expression and clinical significance of microRNA(miR)- 766 in chil-dren with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (poly - JIA). Methods A total of 23 children with poly - JIA who received treatment at the Department of Rheumatology,the Affiliated Children′s Hospital of Capital Institute of Pediat-rics,from November 2014 to September 2016,were enrolled as research group,and 24 healthy children at the same age were selected as healthy control group,while 24 children with oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (oligo - JIA) and 19 children with juvenile ankylosing spondylitis (JAS)were selected as case - control groups. The expression lev-els of miR - 766 in plasmas were detected by real - time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The clinical diagnostic values were analyzed by operating characteristic curve (ROC). Correlations between the expression levels of miR - 766 and clinical,laboratory results were analyzed by conducting Pearson correlation coefficient analysis. Results Compared with the healthy control group and case - control group,the expression levels of miR - 766 in poly - JIA group decreased,and the differences were statistically significant (t = 6. 897,6. 446,6. 218,all P < 0. 001). There was no statistical difference of miR - 766 levels in plasma between case - control groups and healthy control group (P >0. 05). Compared with the healthy control group,the area under ROC curve of miR - 766 was 0. 938 (95% CI:0. 872 -1. 000),and when the cutoff value of miR - 766 was 6. 083 pmol/ L,the sensitivity was 87. 0% and the specificity was 91. 7% . Compared with oligo - JIA and JAS,the area under ROC curves of miR - 766 was 0. 908 (95% CI:0. 819 -0. 996)and 0. 927 (95% CI:0. 865 - 1. 000),respectively. Correlation analysis indicated that the level of miR - 766 in plasma of poly - JIA children was positively associated with hemoglobin (r = 0. 651,P < 0. 001),but negatively asso-ciated with the 28 - joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28)and the percentage of type 1 helper T cells(Th1%)(r =- 0. 434,P = 0. 038;r = - 0. 417,P = 0. 008). Conclusions The expression levels of plasma miR - 766 in poly - JIA are significantly decreasing. miR -766 may serve as an evaluation indicator for the diagnosis and prognosis of poly - JIA.
