ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome in children.Methods The clinical features and treatment process of two children with MELAS were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe main clinical features of MELAS were stroke-like epi-sodes, seizure, visual anomaly and lactic acidosis. Cephalic MRI ifndings performed during episode periods were in accord with the typical radiographic features of MELAS. Gene testing on the two children and their mothers showed the point mutation of A3243G in mitochondrial genome. The symptoms were improved signiifcantly after energy supply and corticosteroid treatment. Conclusions MELAS syndrome is easy to be misdiagnosed due to the varied clinical features. The diagnosis depends on the musclebiopsy and gene testing. Corticosteroid therapy is effective for MELAS syndrome.

Objective　To investigate the biological significance of p185 and p16 in breast cancer. Methods　Immunohistochemical S-P method was used to detect the expression of p185 and p16 proteins in 59 breast carcinomas，and their relations to clinicopathologic features were analyzed. Results　The positive rates of p185 and p16 were 47% and 34% respectively. No significant association was evident between the two proteins. There was also no significant relation between p16 expression and clinicopathologic features. p185 positive rate was 64% in the group of lymph-node involvement that was higher than that being 32% lymph-node negative one (P<0.05). Conclusion　p185 and p16 may play important roles independently in the development of breast cancer through different pathways. p185 detection is of important value in breast cancer.

The incidence rate of erectile dysfunction (ED) is reportedly as high as 30-90% after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, which seriously affects the patients' quality of life. Penile rehabilitation is defined as the use of any drug or device at or after radical prostatectomy to maximize erectile function recovery. A variety of treatment options are available for post-prostatectomy ED patients, including oral phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5I) , intracorporal injections, vacuum erection device, and penile prosthesis. This article presents an overview of the currently used methods for the drug treatment and penile rehabilitation of the ED patients after radical prostatectomy. It seems proper to recommend daily use of a vacuum erection device plus oral PDE5I in the early postoperative period. For those who fail to respond to this therapy, intraurethral alprostadil, intracorporal injections, or a penile prosthesis could be considered.

Objective： To investigate pathophysiologic mechanism about initiation and propagation of epilepsy in a genetically epilepsy-prone rat (GEPR) model. Methods： The hippocampal MF sprouting of P77PMC rats was examined at different stages in the course of recurrent seizures using Timm method of sulfide silver staining. Results：The three groups of P77PMC rats which experienced 30 and less than 30 times of audiogenic seizure ( AGS ) and the Wistar control group did not display MF sprouting in dentate gyrus, however, the group of P77PMC rats which experienced 50 times of AGS was found hippocampal MF sprouting into the inner molecular layer of dentate gyrus. Conclusion：Our findings suggest that hippocampal MF sprouting presented not only in limbic seizure, but also in AGS, the seizure initiated in brainstem but rapidly generalized; in AGS-prone rats, recurrent AGSs can induce MF synaptic reorganization in hippocampus.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of the treatment of erosive oral lichen planus and recurrent aphthous ulcer by using Pudilan Xiaoyan Koufuye.Methods The clinical data of 138 cases of oral mucosal diseases were retrospectively analyzed from September 2015 to June 2016 in our hospital, eOLP patients 50 cases, 11 cases in the control group one and the control group two, 28 cases in the observation group; ROU patients 88 cases, 21 cases in the control group one and the control group two, 46 cases in the observation group.The control group one was treated with topical western medicine, while the control group two was treated with Pudilan Xiaoyan Koufuye,and the observation group was treated with local topical spray and Pudilan Xiaoyan Koufuye, compared the total effective rate, VAS score and mucosal congestion in different groups of patients with oral diseases, and to observe the adverse reactions of the patients during the treatment.Results After one week of treatment, the total effective rate of treatment was significantly different between eOLP patients and ROU patients (P<0.05),the total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group one and the control group two ( P <0.05 ) .After two weeks of treatment, the total effective rate of eOLP patients was significantly different, and the total effective rate of observation group was higher than that of control group one (P<0.05),there was no significant difference among the ROU patients.The degree of mucosal hyperemia and the VAS score in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group one and control group two in the patients with eOLP and ROU ( P <0.05 ) .No significant adverse mucosal staining occurred in all groups of patients, and there was no discontinuation due to obvious adverse reactions.Conclusion Pudilan Xiaoyan Koufuye adjuvant treatment of eOLP and ROU patients with short-term effect is significant, can improve the total effective rate of treatment, and no serious adverse reactions, high safety.

Objective To summarize our experience of the diagnosis and treatment in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA).[WT5”HZ]Methods [WT5”BZ]From 1980 to 1999 sixty five AAA patients were hospitalized with 40 cases of general type, 18 cases of rupture type,4 cases of inflammatory type and 3 cases of infective type. In situ artificial graft transplantation was performed in 62 cases and nonanatomy pathway in 2 cases. The remaining one with inflammatory type was treated by interventionel therapy.[WT5”HZ]Results [WT5”BZ]57 cases were cured and were followed up from 1 to 12 years without complications.Death occurred in 7 cases.[WT5”HZ]Conclusions [WT5”BZ]The abdominal pulsate mass should draw much attention. Ultrasound is the selected examination and DSA, helix CT are accurate image appliance. It can elevate the curative ratio and decrease the mortality through rational operation based on the location, type and individual condition of AAA patients.

Objective To study the clinical effect of the combination of cataract ultrasonic emulsification and multifocal aspherical intraocular lens in cataract patients through evaluating different intraocular lenses elimi-nating spherical aberration. Methods 180 patients(180 eyes)with senile cataract were included between,2001 and 2005.The patients were divided into three group (n = 60 each),based on the admition time. Implantion of ReSTOR-SN60D3 is multifocal aspherical intraocular lens(SN60D3),implantion of SN60AT lens is single spheri-cal intraocular lens (SN60AT),and implantion of SN60WF lens is single aspherical intraocular lens (SN60WF group). Three months after operation,the refractive state,focus depth,modulation transfer function(MTF),and higher-order aberrations were measured ,and the visual quality were investigated. Results There was no signifi-cant difference in vision in three groups before operation(P > 0.05). After operation,the UCNVA of SN60D3 group was significantly better than the SN60AT group and SN60WF group(P < 0.05). Under 3 mm pupil diame-ter,spherical aberration of SN60D3 group and SN60WF Z(4,0)were less than SN60AT group(P < 0.05), SN60D3 group and SN60WF only under 5 CPD spatial frequency MTF(HOA)value was superior to the SN60AT group(P<0.05);The score of near vision,reliance on vision correction and limitation of operation of patients in SN60D3 group were higher than other two groups(P<0.05). Visual clarity and day vision fluctuations of patients in SN60D3 group is better than single focal sphere group(P<0.05). Conclusion In multifocal aspherical intra-ocular lens,general spherical aberrations and higher-order aberrations is smaller,effect of naked near vision is bet-ter and the rest of the vision is stable ,which can bring good visual quality for cataract patients after operation.
