Objective To investigate the expression of CyelinD1 protein in nephroblastoma.Methods The tissue microarray were made in 28 cases of nephroblastoma and 19 cases of renal tissue adjacent to tumor.The expression of CyclinD1 and p53 proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results The positive rate of the expression of CyclinD1 and p53 protein was significantly different between nephroblastoma and renal tissue adjacent to tumor (P < 0.05).The positive rate of the expression of CyclinD1 and p53 protein was significantly different in different degree of differentiation of nephroblastoma (P < 0.05).The expression of CyclinD1 and p53 protein was positively correlated (P < 0.05).Conclusions The CyclinD1 and p53 might be used as the marks for estimating the degree of differentiation of nephroblastoma.The over-expression of CyclinD1 and the mutation of p53 might play the vital role in nephroblastoma.

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum concentration of B vitamins B1,B6,B12) with the incidence of epilepsy.Methods We recruited 50 newly diagnosed patients with epilepsy (not receiving antiepileptic drugs) and 50 patients without epilepsy.Serum concentrations of B vitamins (B1,B6,and B12) in both groups were detected with a LK3000V vitamin detector.Results The concentrations of vitamin B1 and B12 in epileptic patients were (132.81 ±7.3l) nmol/L and (221.41 ±26.09) pg/ml,respectively,not significantly different from those in non-epileptic patients [(130.44 ± 5.12) nmol/L,P =0.095 ;(197.87 ± 19.36) pg/ml,P =0.077].The concentration of vitamin B6 in epileptic children was (44.61 ±2.49) μmol/L,significantly lower than that in non-epileptic children [(64.63 ± 5.71) μmol/L,P =0.031].Conclusion Though serum concentrations of vitamin B1 and B12 may not be associated with epilepsy,lower concentration of vitamin B6 in serum may increase the risk of epilepsy.

OBJECTIVE:To study the technical conditions and parameters of DiaionHP-20 macroporous adsorption resin for the purification of the anti-PMOP(primary Type I osteoporosis) active fraction from Camellia semiserrata seed.METHODS: With the elution ratios and purity of total flavonoids and polyphenol from Camellia semiserrata as indexes,the technical parameters of DiaionHP-20 macroporous adsorption resin including the adsorption quantity,the loading sample,the elution concentration and volume of alcohol were investigated.RESULTS: The adsorption quantity of DiaionHP-20 macroporous resin on total flavonoids and polyphenol were 59.5 mg?g-1 and 23.9 mg?g-1 respectively.The optimal technical conditions were as follows:the quantity of drug was 10.5 times that of resin;water-soluble foreign substance was washed off with distilled water weighing 3 times the weight of resin,and total flavonoids and polyphenol were eluted using 25% ethanol weighing 13.5 times the weight of resin.CONCLUSION:DiaionHP-20 macroporous resin had good purification effects on total flavonoids and polyphenol from Camellia semiserrata seeds.The process is simple,low cost,and suitable for lavge-scale production.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of second messengers protein kinase C (PKC) and inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (IP(3)) during hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in neonatal rats.
METHODSThe protein concentration was determined by Lowry's method. PKC activity was measured by the incorporation of [gamma-32P] into a specific substrate peptide in the cytosol and particulate fraction, respectively. IP(3) was determined by the radioreceptor binding assay.
RESULTSCompared with the control, PKC activities in the particulate fractions in both the cerebral cortex and hippocampus decreased, while increased in the cytosol in cerebral cortex and remained within the normal range in the cytosol in the hippocampus at 0, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72 h, 7, and 14 d after hypoxic-ischemia for 20 min. All these changes restored to normal levels at 21 d post hypoxic-ischemia. Similarly, a decrease in IP(3) in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus and an increase in IP(3) in the thalamus after hypoxic-ischemia were noted, respectively. Changes in cytosolic PKC activity were not related to those of IP(3), as evaluated statistically.
CONCLUSIONHypoxia-ischemia induces disturbance of the second messengers IP(3) and PKC, which may play important roles in the pathogenesis of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical characteristics, surgical principles and treatment options of blood-blister-like cerebral aneurysms in supra-clinoid segment of internal carotid artery.
METHODSTwelve blood-blister-like aneurysms were retrospectively studied including 4 open-surgery cases and 8 endovascular-treated cases from November 2008 to December 2012. Patients comprised 8 female and 4 male patients, whose mean age was 46.6 (range 38-56) years. Eleven patients presented with severe headache as the primary symptom, and 1 patient was found with aneurysm incidentally. Preoperative Hunt-Hess graded 0 in 1 patient, graded I in 5 patients, graded II in 4 patients, and graded III in 2 patients. By DSA examinations, 4 blood-blister-like aneurysms located in anterior wall and 8 in medial-anterior wall of supra-clinoid segment of internal carotid artery. Open surgical treatment included direct clipping, trapping, or wrapping and interventional treatment included stent-assisted coiling or simple stent placement. Intra-operative electroencephalogram and somatosensory evoked potentials monitoring was regularly used. Microvascular Doppler ultrasonography and indocyanine green videoangiography were used to assess blood flow in parent and branch vessels. The patients were followed up at 6 months by CT angiography (CTA) examination in outpatient clinic.
RESULTSFor 4 open surgeries, 2 aneurysms were directly clipped, 1 was trapped and 1 was wrapped. The patient underwent trapping paralyzed postoperatively. For endovascular treatment, 6 patients were coiled assisted with stents and 2 patients were treated with simple stent placement. All the patients were followed with a mean follow-up time of 16 months (range, 6-61 months). At 6 months follow-up, 3 out of 4 surgical treated patients had good outcome and 1 was moderately severe disabled by modified Rankin scale; 1 patient underwent wrapping recurred and was transferred to endovascular treatment. Of the 6 patients treated with stent-assisted coiling, 4 patients were recurrent and coil replacements were performed. Two patients with simple stent placement had no recurrences.
CONCLUSIONSBlood-blister-like aneurysm is a special type of complex cerebral aneurysm. Comprehensive understanding of blood-blister-like aneurysm is the key to successful treatment.Open surgery is difficult procedure with high risk and complications while stent-assisted coiling has a high recurrent rate. To date, neither is the safe and effective treatment option.

Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) are the main therapy for epilepsy.There are many kinds of ASMs with complex mechanism of action, so it is difficult for pharmacists to examine prescriptions.This paper put forward some suggestions on the indications, dosage forms/routes of administration, appropriateness of usage and dosage, combined medication and drug interaction, long-term prescription review, individual differences in pathophysiology of children, and drug selection when complicated with common epilepsy, for the reference of doctors and pharmacists.
