1.Clinical applications of scalp high-frequency electroencephalogram
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;30(12):892-894
High-frequency oscillations are used more and more widely on localizing epileptogenic zone and evaluating outcome as the surgery on epilepsy cases are increasing and the technique of electroencephalogram (EEG) are being improved.High-frequency oscillations are recorded by intracranial electrodes on most previous studies.However,recent reports describing high-frequency oscillations on scalp EEG recordings have created significant interest.Scalp high-frequency EEG provides a safe,non-invasive and simple method for us to study the special brain electrical activity.This paper summary the clinical applications and some questions on scalp high-frequency EEG.

ObjectiveCardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and its related ischemia reperfusion injury may cause endothelial cell injury.To study the protective effects of sodium ferulate in vascular endothelial function during CPB by testing the changes of vascular endothelial cell( CEC),nitric oxide( NO) and endothelin-1 ( ET-1 ) in children with congenital heart disease.MethodsSixty patients with congenital heart disease,including 28 males and 32 females were studied.The mean age was (19.7 ±10.4) months and body weight (10.5 ±6.1) kg.There were 37 VSD,8 ASD,7 TOF,5 TAPVC and 3 CAVC,among them 26 patients had pulmonary hypertension.They were randomly divided in to two groups:sodium ferulate group ( group S,n = 30),and control group ( group C,n =30) .Sodium ferulate (8 mg/kg) was given intravenously before CPB.Blood samples were taken from the arterial line at following time points:before CPB (TO),bypass 30 min(Tl ),the termination of CPB (T2 ),2h after operation ( T3 ) and 6h after operation ( T4 ),respectively for determination the concentration of vascular endothelial cell (CEC) in the blood,the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 ( ET-1) in the plasma.ResultsThere were no significant difference for the two groups regarding above parameters at TO ( P > 0.05).The level of CEC was significantly elevated after CPB in both groups ( P < 0.05 ) .CEC were lower at T2 in group S than in group C ( P < 0.05 ) .NO was decreased in both groups,but was higher in group S at T2,T3 and T4 ( P < 0.05 ) .The concentration of plasma ET-1 was not significantly different before CPB,but there was a slight decrease at T1,and then it was significantly increased in both groups (P<0.05).But it was lower in group S than in group C at T1,T2,T3 and T4(P<0.05 orP<0.01).ConclusionThere was severe endothelial cell damage during CPB.Sodium Ferulate can effectively antagonize the secretion of ET-1 to promote the formation of NO.Therefore,it reduces CPB-induced endothelial cell damage and protects vascular endothelial function during CPB.

CONCLUSIONS:Both the efficacy and safety of Kanglaite injection combined with radiothreapy in the treatment of NSCLC are superior to radiothreapy alone.

Objective To investigate the expression of kallikrein 9 (KLK9) in liver cancer and to determine its significance.Methods The expression of KLK9 in liver cancer was detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR techniques.Results The rate of expression of KLK9 protein in liver cancer tissues was significantly higher than paracarcinoma tissues and normal liver tissues (P < 0.05).The expression of KLK9 mRNA in liver cancer cells was significantly higher than normal liver cells (P < 0.05).The expression of KLK9 was related to metastasis,size of tumors,degree of malignancy and clinical staging of the liver cancer (P ≤ 0.05),but there was no associated with age,HbsAg and sex (P > 0.05).Conclusions KLK9 may play an important role in the occurrence and development of liver cancer.It may be used as a tumor marker and a prognostic factor.It may also provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and biological targeted therapy of liver cancer.

Aim To investigate the effect of isoflurane on the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)in the hippocampus of neonatal rats, and the effect of p38 MAPK pathway on isoflurane-in-duced neuronal apoptosis.Methods Forty-eight neo-natal rats on postnatal day 7 were assigned randomly into four groups:DMSO group (group Air +DMSO), p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 group (group Air +SB20 ),isoflurane +DMSO group (group Iso +DM-SO),and isoflurane +SB203580 group (group Iso +SB20 ).Rats were exposed to air or isoflurane (volume fraction of 0.01 1 )for 4h.The p38 inhibitor SB203580 (20 nmol)or DMSO (volume fraction of 0.1 )5μl was intraventricularly administered 30 min before the expo-sure.The brains of some rats in each group were per-fused and embedded by paraffin 6h after the exposure. Neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampal CA1 area was detected by terminal deoxyribonucleotide transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)(n =6). The hippocampal tissues of the other rats in each group were dissected 6h after the exposure,and the protein expressions of phospho-p38 (p-p38 ),p38,cleaved caspase-3,phospho-NF-κB (p-NF-κB ),Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Westem blot (n =6).Results The number of TUNEL positive cells in the hippocam-pal CA1 region in group Iso +DMSO increased by 4.8 fold compared with that in group Air +DMSO (P <0.01 ),while the number of TUNEL positive cells in group Iso +SB20 decreased by 3 /5 compared with that in group Iso +DMSO (P <0.01 ).The protein expres-sion of cleaved caspase-3 in group Iso +DMSO signifi-cantly increasd (P =0.003)compared to that in group Air +DMSO,which was significantly decreasd in group Iso +SB20 (P =0.007 ).In addition,isoflurane also increased the protein expression of p-p38,p-NF-κB and Bax,decreased the level of Bcl-2,and reduced the ratio of Bcl-2 /Bax compared with control animals (P <0.01 ,P =0.004,P <0.01 ,P <0.01 ,P <0.01 ,respectively).Howerver,SB203580 partly at-tenuated the isoflurane-induced protein change above. Conclusion Isoflurane induces neuroapoptosis in neo-natal rat hippocampus by the activation of p38 MAPK pathway.

In order to study the effects and the possible mechanisms of Daxx overexpressed in HepG2 to hydrogen peroxide treatment, and to search new targets for cancer chemotherapy, HepG2cells were transfected using lipofectamine 2000, and selected by treatment with G418. Stable cell lines were confirmed by reverse transeriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeting vector gene. Experiments include the following groups: (1) control group (non-transfected cells); (2) transfected with empty vector (HepG2/GFP cells); and (3) transfected with pEGFP-C1-Daxx (HepG2/GFP-Daxx cells). After incubation with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for 24 h, cellular viability was analyzed by MTT, and cellular apoptosis was measured by flow cytometric analysis. Gene expression at protein level was detected by Western blot. The RT-PCR results showed that Daxx RNA in cells transfected with pEGFP-C1-Daxx was increased significantly compared with that in the HepG2/GFP cells. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that Daxx protein was localized in the nuclei. Hydrogen peroxide was used to induce apoptosis of HepG2 cells and observed that the hydrogen peroxide decreased the viability of HepG2 cells in concentration-dependent pattern. The IC50 values in three groups (Normal cells, HepG2/GFP cells and HepG2/GFP-Daxx cells) were 0.72, 0.76, and 0.49 mmol/L respectively. The apoptotic ratio was significantly higher in HepG2/GFP-Daxx cells as compared to the other two groups. HepG2/GFP-Daxx cell incubated with hydrogen peroxide, showed a significant increase in the activation of caspase-3 and JNK as compare with the other groups. Over-expression of Daxx facilitated HepG2 cells apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, there may be a synergetic relation with apoptosis and increase of JNK activity.
