0.05).There was a significant positive correlation between serum VEGF,NP and the degree of proteinuria in group A patients,respectively(r=0.47,0.43 Pa

Objective To detect the levels of serum neopterin(NP) and D-dimer,and explore whether NP and D-dimer levels respond to coronary artery dilatation(CAD) of Kawasaki disease(KD),and evaluate the risk factors of CAD.Methods This study were conducted on 45 children with KD.Twenty-one children were CAD and 24 cases were not CAD.Active phase serum NP,D-dimer levels were measured by sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Multiple regression analysis including platelet(PLT),monocyte(M),creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB),C-reactive protein(CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),cardiac troponin I(cTnI) were studied with CAD.Results Compared with recovery phase,active phase the levels of PLT,M,CK-MB,CRP,ESR,cTnI were significantly higher(Pa

Objective To value the clinical application of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in cerebral diseases. Methods Six volunteers and 6 patients (including 3 patients with ischemic stroke and 3 patients with glioma) were examined by DTI and T1weighted, T2weighted MR scan. All data were processed with DtiStudio software to show the white matter fiber tracts. The fractional anisotropy (FA) of the diffusion tensor were measured between the affected and the unaffected side. Results The white matter fiber tract could be observed clearly on the FA map. The pyramidal tract with different degree disruption could be showed in 3 patients with ischemic stroke. Compression, displacement, infiltration or destruction of pyramidal tract, corpus callosum or internal capsule and external capsule could be seen in 3 patients with glioma, and FA was significantly reduced on the affected side as compared to the unaffected side. Conclusion Diffusion tensor imaging is useful in observing the damage and displacement of the white matter fiber tracts in vivo, beneficial to the surgical plan for patients and prognosing recovery of function.

Objective To observe the anticoagulant effect of low molecular weight heparin on induced hemodialysis in patients with acute renal failure.Method One hundred and eight patients with acute renal failure treated with induced hemodialysis were randomly divided into low molecular weight heparin(LMWH)group and unfractionated heparin(UFH)group.A bolus disc of UFH was given at first and then maintained by continuous infusion in UFH group,whereas a single bolus dose of LMWH with 2000AFXa IU to 4000AFXa IU in LMWH group.Results Anticoagulant effect between LMWH and UFH did not show significant discrepancy during induced hemodialysis.The bleeding from internal jugular vein catheter increased in the UFH group much more than that in the UFH group was significantly higher than that in the LMWH group.Anti-FXa blood levels were significantly higher in LMWH group than in UFH group.Conclusions LMWH has minor influence on aPTT and TT,while its anticoagulation effect approximates to that of UFH.LMWH represents a realistic alternative agent UFH in acute renal failure induced hemodialysis.

Strong inhibition of Bacillus subtilis strain NJ-18 on mycelia growth of Alternaria solani was observed in the antagonistic tests by cylinder plate methods, and the inhibition width was 21.5 mm. Observation under microscope found that the supernatant of fermentation from NJ-18 could make the pathogen hyphae cells malformed and swelled, and consequently the growth of the pathogen was inhibited. Determining of the colonization in potato plants by the signed rifampicin-resistance in NJ-18 showed that it could colonize well in the plants, the colonization quantity of NJ-18 in the root and stem of the potato detected 30 days after fermentation irrigation was 103 CFU/g plant’s fresh weight. In pot experiment, we inoculated the tomato plants with the spore suspensions of Alternaria solani after spraying the fermentation of NJ-18, the results were investigated in 14 days and the efficacy in controlling the disease was 72.9%, which was significantly higher than 45.7%, the efficacy resulted from spray treatment of 2000 fold dilution of 50% iprodione wetable powder.

OBJECTIVETo explore the strategy of pediatric intractable epilepsy surgery.

METHODSThe clinical data of 96 pediatric cases with intractable epilepsy and epilepsy syndromes underwent surgical treatment from April 2004 to April 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTSThe surgical treatments were performed based on the results of comprehensive data from neurological, neurosurgical and pediatric departments. Among of them, 78 cases were performed with curative procedure, 17 cases with palliative procedure and 1 case with stereotactic damage procedure. The surgical effect was judged with Engel's standard, 58 cases had no seizure during 14 to 26 months follow-up, 26 cases had significantly improved in seizure control and the total efficiency was 87.5%. 81 cases had improvements in neuropsychological tests. 22 cases had postoperative complications such as neuro-dysfunctions and 15 cases were gradually recovered after the period of follow-up ended, 1 case died of CSF over drainage after operation 3 months.

CONCLUSIONSPediatric patients with symptomatic epilepsy and epilepsy syndromes are suitable to surgical treatment, the results are satisfactory in seizure control and neuropsychological function tests.
