Objective To investigate the protective effect of topiramate(TPM) on neuronal apoptosis in rats with acute seizures.Methods We treated the PTZ-induced seizure rats with TPM at 80mg/(kg?d)(high-dose group) and 40mg/(kg?d)(middle-dose group) or physiological saline(control group) for 2 weeks.Neuronal apoptosis in CA_1 and CA_3 regions in hippocampus was identified by terminal deoxynucletidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin in situ nick end labeling(TUNEL) assay.Results Two weeks following seizures,TUNEL-positive neurons were detected in CA_1 and CA_3 regions each group.The numbers of TUNEL-positive neurons in CA_1 and CA_3 of control group were(35.83?)4.58 and(36.83?)3.83,(23.50?)2.81 and(25.50?)3.72 of high-dose TPM group,(31.52?)3.43 and(32.35?)4.69 of middle-dose TPM group.There was a very significant difference between high-dose TPM group and control group(all(P)0.05).Conclusion High dose administration of TPM after experimental status epilepticus may attenuate seizure-induced hippocampal neuronal injury.
2.Changes of Intraerythrocytic Calcium,Serum Cardiac Troponin I and Their Relationships with Heart Function in Infants with Pneumonia Complicated with Heart Failure
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2004;0(12):-
Objective To evaluate the relationship of intraerythrocytic calcium(Ca~(2+)),serum cardiac troponin I(cTnI) and contractile and diastolic dysfunction in infants with pneumonia complicated with heart failure(HF),and discuss the role of Ca~(2+) and cTnI.(Met)-hods One hundred and thirty-three infants with pneumonia complicated with HF and 30 healthy children were studied.Intraerythrocytic calcium,serum cTnI and ejection fraction(EF),fractional shortening(FS) and E/A were measured by color Doppler ultrasoundraphy.Results Intraerythrocytic calcium,serum cTnI and EF,FS and E/A in two groups had difference.With the disease deteriorating,the values of Ca~(2+) and cTnI increased,and EF,FS,E/A decreased gradually.There were negative relations between Ca~(2+),cTnI and EF,FS,E/A.Conclusions Ca~(2+),cTnI are concerned with the development of HF.In clinical experiments,the contractile function and diastolic function of heart can be judged by the levels of intraerythrocytic calcium and serum cTnI.

OBJECTIVETo study clinical effects of surgery for the treatment of Mayo II B comminuted fracture in ulna olecranon.
METHODSFrom May 2008 to March 2015, a total of 37 patients with Mayo II B comminuted fracture in ulua olecranon were treated, including 20 males and 17 females, ranging in age from 40 to 65 years old ,with an average of 53 years old. All the patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation within 4 to 7 days after injuries. All the patients had pain and functional disorder uf elbow joint. The X-ray and CT examination showed ulna olecranon comminuted fracture of Mayo II B. Postoperative complications were observed ,and Broberg-Morrey criteria was used tu evaluate therapeutic effects.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up ,and the duraiton ranged from 9 to 30 months ,with a mean of 15 months. Two patients had surface infection around incision ,and were healed by changing dressings. No other complications occurred such as needle slipping to stimulate skin ,screw loosening and wire broken. One patient had slight uneveness of joint surface without obvious functional disorder. According to Broberg-Morrey elbow fracture curative effect criteria, 11 paients got an excellent result, 24 good and 2 fair,and the total score was 87.0 ± 7.3.
CONCLUSIONFor the Mayo II B comminuted fracture in ulna olecranon, preoperative preparation, intraoperative restoring of the articular surface smooth and reasonable internal fixation, and postoperative rehabilitation actively, can obtain satisfactory clinical effects.

Objective To investigate the best MR technique for detecting small epidermoids in the cerebellopontine angle.Methods 7 patients with pathologically-proved small epidermoids only located in the cerebellopontine angle were collected. The imaging techniques included:conventional T1WI and T2WI, fluid attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR),diffusion weighted imaging(DWI) and balanced fast field echo(B-FFE) .The findings were retrospectively analyzed.Results 6 of 7 cases of epidermoid tumours localized at the cerebellopontine angle and exhibited the similar signal intensity as the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) on T1WI and T2WI.The remaining case was slightly isointense on either T1WI or T2WI.On FLAIR images in 6 cases,3 cases showed slightly hyperintensity, 1 case showed doubtful heterogeneous signal intensity and 2 cases did not reveal any abnormal signal intensity.3 cases were hyperintense differenting from CSF on DW images. All of seven cases showed heterogeneous signal characteristics and were quite different from CFS on B-FFE.Meanwhile B-FFE also produced clearly the tissue contrast of trigeminus embedded in epidermoids of the cerebellopontine angle.Conclusion B-FFE is much more useful for the early diagnosis of epidermoids in the cerebellopontine angle and it also can provide precise preoperative information about the trigeminus encasement.
