The scholars abroad have reported a group of previously normal children,who develop intractable focal epilepsy or status epilepticus after fever,followed by drug-resistant partial epilepsy and severe cognitive impairment,named febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES).There are unknown etiology,critical condition,poor prognosis and absent of specific changes on cerebrospinal fluid,biopsies and neuroimagings.No therapeutic agent is efficacious and ketogenic diet may be an alternative therapy in some reports.This study describes the clinical characteristics of FIRES.

Hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury is a main cause to neonatal death and children neural handicap,and therapeutic efficacy is bad for the completely injured nerve cells.The development research of mesenchymal cells transplantation has a good prospect to treat this disease.

Aim To investigate the pharmacokinetics of dipfluzine hydrochloride,a novel piperazines calcium antagonist.Methods Eighteen Beagle dogs were randomly divided into three groups,which were administered with dipfluzine hydrochloride at iv single dose of 1.5,3.0 and 6.0 mg?kg-1,respectively.The blood was collected at different time.A RP-HPLC method was developed to determine the concentration of dipfluzine hydrochloride in plasma.The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by 3P97 software.Results The specificity,lowest limit of detection and quantification,extraction recoveries,the precision of intra-and inter-day and stability were qualified to the pharmacokinetic study.The concentration-time courses of dipfluzine hydrochloride were best fitted to a two-compartment open model at three doses.The main pharmacokinetic parameters at three doses were 24.7,24.2 and 29.6 h for T12?,0.44,1.12 and 2.86 g?min?L-1 for AUC,1.30,1.22 and 1.28 L?kg-1 for Vc,and 3.4?10-3,2.7?10-3 and 2.1?10-3 L?kg-1?min-1 for CL,respectively.Conclusions The developed RP-HPLC method for determination of dipfluzine hydrochloride in plasma can satisfy the requirement of pharmacokinetic study after iv dipfluzine hydrochloride.Analysis of plasma concentration-time curves indicates a biphasic decrease.There was a linear relationship between AUC and dosage.

Objective: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) was used to investigate the feasibility of CEUS for evaluation on renal cortex blood perfusion changes in rat models of different degrees hemorrhagic shock (HS). Methods: Twenty-four healthy male SD rats were randomly and equally divided into sham operation group (Sham group), mild hemorrhagic shock group (T1 group), moderate hemorrhagic shock group (T2 group) and severe hemorrhagic shock group (T3 group, each n=6). CEUS was performed after establishment of models to observe renal cortex blood perfusion, and analysis was performed on the time-intensity curve (TIC). Comparative parameters, including peak, time to peak (TTP), AUC and mean transition time (MTT) were analyzed. Venous blood was taken for renal biochemical examination after CEUS, and renal tissue was taken for pathological examination after the rats were killed. Results: TTP, AUC, MTT and urea nitrogen (Urea) in T1 group increased compared with those in Sham group (all P<0.05), but pathological changes were not obvious. TTP, MTT and creatinine (Crea) in T2 group increased than those in Sham group and T1 group (all P<0.05), AUC in T2 group increased than that in Sham group (P<0.05), and pathological changes in T2 group were more damaging compare with T1 group. TTP, AUC, MTT and Crea in T3 group increased than that in the other groups (all P<0.05), and peak in T3 group increased than that in Sham group and T1 group (both P<0.05). Urea in T3 group increased than that in Sham group (P<0.05), and pathological changes were significant. Significant positive correlations were found between TTP, AUC, MTT and Crea (r=0.789, 0.790, 0.800, all P<0.001). Conclusion: CEUS can quantitatively analyze renal cortex blood perfusion changes of rat models caused by hemorrhagic shock. TIC is useful for quantitative analysis, of which TTP, AUC and MTT can be used as sensitivity indexes.

This paper was aimed to study the method of rapid determination of total flavonoids in Chrysanthemum of different processing methods by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The Chrysanthemum was dried by three different processes. The three methods were directly drying, drying after steamed and drying after fry, respectively. The determination of total flavonoids in Chrysanthemum by different processing methods was produced by using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Collecting the NIRS spectra of Chrysanthemum, the quantitative analysis model of total flavonoids content in Chrysanthemum of different processing methods was established by partial least square (PLS) and the model was validated. The correlation coefficient (R2), the root-mean-square error of calibration (RMSEC) and the root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) were 0.996 19, 0.104 and 0.168, respectively. The correlation coefficient of predication (r) was 0.979 3 which state that the prediction was accurate. The method of NIRS had the advantage of fast determination, simple operation and high accuracy of prediction, and could be used for rapid determination of total flavonoids content in Chrysanthemum of different processing methods.

Objective: To identify the relationship between the expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 12 (PTPN12) and radiotherapy effect in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and to determine whether PTPN12 deficiency can sensi-tize lung cancer cells to irradiation. Methods: From September 2013 to October 2014, 92 NSCLC patients undergoing radiotherapy with or without platinum-based combination chemotherapy were analyzed retrospectively. Before the treatment, PTPN12 expression was detected through immunohistochemistry. After the completion of radiotherapy, the patients' responses were assessed and radio-therapeutic efficacy analyzed. The human NSCLC cell line H1299 was infected with shPTPN12 knockdown, and colony survival assay was analyzed after irradiation. Chi-square test was used to examine the correlation between PTPN12 expression and clinicopathologi-cal characteristics. Univariate analyses and Logistic regression test were used to analyze the relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and radiotherapeutic response. Results: Patients with low PTPN12 expression were more sensitive to radiotherapy than those with high PTPN12 expression (80.0%vs. 57.1%, P=0.018). Multivariate analysis showed that PTPN12 expression was the on-ly independent predictor of radiotherapeutic response in NSCLC. The H1299-shPTPN12-knockdown cells were sensitive to irradiation. Conclusions:The results of the study indicated that downregulation of PTPN12 improved the radiosensitivity of NSCLC cells.

SUMMARY Pheochromocytomaisrareinpregn’ancy.Clinicalfeaturesofacaseofpheochromocytoma during pregnancy in the Peking University People’s Hospital was investigated and the literature reviewed to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.The patient manifested with hypertension and pro-teinuria,who was easily misdiagnosed with gestational hypertension disease.When she was transferred to our hospital,the symptoms such as,paroxysmal palpitation,dizziness,vomiting were noticed,and the possibility of pheochromocytoma was considered due to the accompanying abdominal mass.An emergent cesarean section was performed successfully due to preterm labor during the treatment of the disease.Af-ter the delivery the drug preparation continued.And the laparoscopic resection of pheochromocytoma pro-ceeded when the blood pressure was steady.The patient recovered fully after the surgery.The final diag-nosis of pheochromocytoma was confirmed with the pathology.Its diagnosis and treatment experiences could improve our understanding and treatment of secondary hypertension due to pheochromocytoma in pregnancy.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of modified FOLFOX4 program with docetaxel-oxaliplatin-5-fluorouracil (DOF) program as neoadjuvant chemotherapy in stage Ⅲ gastric cancer patients.Methods In 86 cases of stage Ⅲ gastric cancer patients,42 received modified FOLFOX4 chemotherapy,44 cases were treated by DOF program.After two cycles of chemotherapy,the treatment effect and adverse reactions were evaluated.Results The total effectiveness in modified FOLFOX4 group and DOF group was 60％ (25/42) and 68％ (30/44) respectively (P ＞ 0.05).Tumor control rate was 83％ (35/42) and 89％ (39/44) respectively (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of nausea,vomiting and leukopenia was higher in DOF group than modified FOLFOX4 group (P ＜ 0.05).The D2 lymph node dissection rate between modified FOLFOX4 group and DOF group was 80％ (20/25) and 87％ (26/30) respectively (P ＞ 0.05),the R0 resection rate was 72％ (18/25) and 83％ (25/30) respectively (P ＞ 0.05).In 43 R0 resection patients using FOLFOX4 the median survival time was 38.7 months,1-,3-year survival rate was 90％,and 60％ ; while that in DOF group the median survival time was 39.6 months,1-,3-year survival rate was 95％,and 75％.Multivariate analysis showed that postoperative TNM stage only was an independent risk factor for prognosis.Conclusions TNM stage was the independent risk factor for prognosis of gastric carcinoma patients after radical gastrectomy.

The interferon-γ testing and the comparative cervical skin test were compared with the simple cervical hypersensitivity test routinely used in our country in herds infected with Mycobacterium bovis, in which 167 infected cattle from 5 herds were tested with interferon-γ testing and the comparative cervical test (CCT) simultaneously and other 106 cattle were tested with other hypersensitivity tests used as control for comparison. In these 167 cattle tested with both tests, 89 cattle were proved to be positive both in interferon-γ testing and CCT using the bovine PPD of Netherland with a coincidence rate of 92.7% (89/96). In 106 cattle the coincidence rate of positive reactions detected by γ-interferon test and CCT was 93.41% (78/83.5), that detected by the routine skin of foreign country was 62.26%(66/106); and that between the hypersensitivity test of China and foreign country was 92.19% (59/64). It is obvious that the interferon-γ testing and CCT seem to have higher coincidence rate and the specificity of the skin tests used in our country was rather low. Consequently, the use of the comparative cervical skin test should be considered to replace the routinely used shin tests.

Objective To evaluate the echocardiographic features of coronary artery dilation (CAD) and coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) in Kawasaki disease dynamically.Methods Echocardiography was performed in KD cases for measurement of the diameter of the coronary artery.Results Twelve CAD and four CAA were identified in forty-one patients.In CAD group,left coronary artery (LCA) is more susceptive to dilation than right coronary artery (RCA)(P<0.05).Both LCA and RCA were involved in CAA group,the maximum diameter of coronary artery is 10mm.Six to eighteen days after treatment,LCA were regressed significantly in CAD group(P<0.05),but the diameter of RCA in CAD group and coronary artery in CAA patients have no change(P>0.05).Ten coronary artery lesion patients were followed up,8 CAD cases regressed completely,1 CAA extended,the other CAA regressed completely.Conclusions In CAD group,LCA is more susceptive to dilation than RCA,but it regressed significantly in a short time after treatment.Echocardiography is a non-traumatic method to detect the coronary artery lesions in KD patients dynamically.
