ObjectiveTo study the intelligence quotient(IQ) profile of the children with idiopathic generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) and the factors influencing IQ of them.MethodsAll 28 children with GTCS were selected who were aged 9 ~ 16 years in 20 GTCS families in a mountain area of the south of Anhui Province,all available healthy siblings of the children included in the epilepsy group,did not have epilepsy,and were nearest in age to the children with GTCS ( control group 1 ),and thirty children aged 9 ~ 16 years old who had lived in the same village ( control group 2) entered into our study.The IQ was studied of the three groups of children and the factors influencing IQ of children with GTCS at the same time.The data were input SPSS12.0 and analyzed.ResultsThe IQ of children with GTCS(85.64 ±20.57)was lower than that control group 1( 103.39 ± 11.17)and the control group 2 ( 106.17 ± 11.67).The difference between children with GTCS and the two control groups were significant for almost all the subtest quotients except completion of drawing and picture arrangement.No significant differences were found between the control group 1 and the control group 2 on the IQ and the subtest quotients.IQ scores of children with GTCS showed significant linear correlation with father's education( r=0.453,P<0.01 ),age at onset of epilepsy( r=0.506,P<0.01 ),duration of seizure disorder( r=-0.533,P<0.0l ),status epilepticus( r=-0.732,P<0.01),total number of seizures( r=-0.761,P<0.01) and seizure frequency ( r=-0.708,P < 0.01 ).ConclusionThe IQ scores of the children with idiopathic GTCS are lower significantly than general children population.Epilepsy-related variables affecting IQ scores of the children with idiopathic GTCS are duration of seizure disorder,status epilepticus,age at onset of epilepsy,total number of seizures,seizure frequency.

ObjectiveHenoch-Schönlein purpura(HSP) is one of the dominant diseases in Mongolian medicine. Qishun Baolier(QSBLE), as the main prescription for the treatment of HSP, has significant clinical effect, but its mechanism is not yet clear. Baed on this, this study is intended to screen the differentially expressed proteins before and after treatment, and preliminarily explore the molecular mechanism of QSBLE in the treatment of HSP. MethodTaking oneself as the control, 30 HSP patients aged 6-45 years were collected, and QSBLE was taken orally at 12:00 and 24:00, respectively. The dose was adjusted according to age and the course of treatment was one week. The distribution of proteinuria, hematuria and skin purpura of all patients were determined before and after treatment. The serum samples of 10 patients with clinically significant remission after QSBLE treatment were randomly selected for proteomics. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification(iTRAQ) combined with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) was used to analyze the proteins in serum of HSP patients before and after treatment, and differential proteins were analyzed bioinformatically and the protein-protein interaction(PPI) networks were constructed. ResultA total of 378 proteins were identified from serum, including 18 differentially expressed proteins, of which 15 proteins were up-regulated and 3 proteins were down regulated. Bioinformatics showed that the differential proteins were mainly involved in biological processes such as immune response, immunoglobulin production, phagocytosis, adaptive immune response before and after treatment. Biological processes, pathways and proteins were used to construct the PPI network, the proteins represented by immunoglobulin heavy constant γ1(IGHG1), immunoglobulin λ-chain 7-43(IGLV7-43), gelsolin(GSN) and 60 kDa heat shock protein(HSPD1) were involved in biological processes and related pathways such as adaptive immune response, immunoglobulin production, leukocyte-mediated immunity, regulation of stress response, regulation of immune system processes, regulation of trauma response, and these proteins were at the center of the PPI network. ConclusionQSBLE may play a role in the treatment of HSP by regulating the expression of IGHG1, IGLV7-43, GSN, HSPD1 and other key proteins to affect immune-related biological processes.
