1.Eosinophilic fasciitis: a clinicopathological analysis of six cases
Chinese Journal of Neurology 2000;0(04):-
Objective To mainly discuss the relationship between histologic type and clinic manifestations of eosinophilic fasciitis. Methods Muscle biopsies in 6 cases of eosinophilic fasciitis were evaluated by the clinical, histopathology and enzyme histochemistry. Results All 6 cases were adults aged from 24-41 years (mean 35 years). Clinically, typical eosinophilic fasciitis charactristics were found in all cases. Histologically, three features appeared with diagnostic values. One was eosinophilic fasciitis with myopathy, one, eosinophilic fasciitis and another was focal fasciitis.Conclusions There may appear different histopathologic changes in eosinophilic fasciitis according to its clinic manifestations.

Objective To detect the levels of MBP and IL 16 in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) and serum, investigate the correlation between them and the role in multiple sclerosis attacking process.Methods The levels of MBP and IL 16 of cerebral fluid and serum of 31 patients with MS were detected by ELISA and compared with those of 24 cases of inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy or 22 cases of healthy persons.Results CSF and serum levels of MBP were found increaed significantly in MS patients compared with those in IDP and in healthy controls(HC)(all P 0.05).The concentrations of MBP in CSF of MS significantly correlated with that of IL 16 in CSF( r =0.468, P 0.05).The concentration of MBP in CSF of MS significantly correlated with CSF that in serum( r =0.505, P 0.05).Conclusion MBP is one of the autoantigens that induce MS,IL 16 may be mainly produced in CNS due to MBP stimulation; IL 16 may act within CNS.

Objective Study the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in rat models of cerebral ischemia reperfusion and the protective effect of ?-Sodium Aescinate.Methods Rat models of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion were made using an intraluminal monofilament method and ?-Sodium Aescinate was given peritoneally to observe its protective effect. The histochemical change and the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 were detected by HE staining and immunohistochemistry ways.Results (1) ?-Sodium Aescinate could obviously reduce the brain damage after ischemia reperfusion. (2) The expressions of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 in endothelial cells in ischemic territory increased after cerebral ischemia reperfusion. ICAM-1 immunoreactivity peaked at 24 h after reperfusion and VCAM-1 immunoreactivity peaked at 24~48 h after reperfusion. Both of them decreased gradually, but remained a higher level than normal 72 h after reperfusion. (3) ?-Sodium Aescinate could decrease the expressions of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 remarkably 24 h and 48 h after reperfusion.Conclusions High expressions of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 may be involved in the mechanism of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. ?-Sodium Aescinate may play its protective role by reducing the expressions of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of limbic epilepsies and limbic status epilepticus.Methods The clinical data of two patients with limbic epilepsies and one patient with limbic status epilepticus were analysed retrospectively.Results 2 patients with limbic epilepsia were all young-aged onset of the disease.They manifested bouts of unconsciousness,nervous and fear,various automatism and autonomic nerves symptom.EEG showed spike discharge in unilateral or bilateral temporal area.MRI showed left hippocampns sclerosis in one case.Another case presented calcification focus in right internal temporal.One patient with limbic status epilepticus was middle-aged male,he manifested repeatedly onset of unconscious insanity,behavior disorders and psychiatric symptoms.There was over 30 min for once onset.EEG showed ? wave or ? wave in bilateral frontal and temporal area.MRI showed arachnoid cyst in left temporal lobe anterior.Three cases were controlled by Carbamazepine or Oxcarbazepine.Conclusion The clinical feature of limbic epilepsies and limbic status epilepticus have bouts of automatism,automic nerve symptom and psychiatric symptom attact,which have relation to impairment of hippocampus and almond body in interal temporal.

Objective To study effects ofXiangsha Liujunzi Decoction (XSLJZ) on gastric emptying function, pepsin activity and expression of HIF-1α gene and protein of gastric mucosa in chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) of rats with deficiency of spleen and stomach.Methods Rats were randomly divided into normal group and model group. The models of CAG rats with deficiency of spleen and stomach type were induced by synthetic methods. After the modeling, models rats were divided into model group, positive control group and XSLJZ high-, medium-, and low-dose groups. Normal group and model group were given 10 mL/kg distilled water every day for gavage; XSLJZ high-, medium-, and low-dose groups were given 24, 12, and 6 g/kg XSLJZ Decoction for gavage; positive control group was given 0.30 g/kg Vatacoenayme for gavage, for successive 120 d. Gastric emptying function and pepsin activity were detected, and HIF-1α gene and protein expression in gastric mucosa were detected by RT-qPCR and IHC. Results Compared with the normal group, the gastric emptying function and pepsin activity in the model group were much lower (P<0.01); expressions of HIF-1α gene and protein in gastric tissues was much higher (P<0.01). Compared with model group, XSLJZ could increase the gastric emptying function and pepsin activity significantly (P<0.05), and decrease expressions of HIF-1α gene and protein (P<0.05).Conclusion XSLJZ has functions of improving the gastric emptying function, promoting pepsin activity, and reducing expressions of HIF-1α gene and protein.
