Objective To compare the differences of cognitive dysfunction and hippocampal atrophy among patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and healthy controls and probe into the relativity of cognitive dysfunction with hippocampal atrophy after temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods Forty-nine TLE cases and 20 healthy individuals were randomly selected. The WAMS-R and WAIS-R scales were adopted to assess the memory and intelligence of all the subjects. Hippocampal volumes were measured by semiautomatic measurement on the head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The degree of hippocampal atrophy (DHA) and asymmetry index (AsI) were caculated by adjusting hippocampal volumes and ratio of difference of two lateral hippocampal volumes. Results Compared with the healthy controls, not only did the TLE patients exhibit more memory deficits (83.2±21.0,t=-3.365 ,P=0.001 ), but also more fullscale intelligence (91.0±12.3, t=- 4.291, P=0.000). The bilateral hippocampi of all TLE patients significantly decreased in volume ( P=0.000 ) and increased in AsI ( t=3.975, P=0.000 ). The MQ of TLE patients was significantly negatively related to the duration of the illness ( r=-0.339, P=0.017 ). The bilateral DHA and the hippocampal AsI were negatively related to Z scores (left: r=-0.297, P= 0.038, right: r=-0.305, P=0.033, AsI: r=-0.441, P=0.002), repectively. Conclusions The more the DHA and asymmetry of bilateral hippocampi, the worse the cognitive dysfunction. The quantitative measurements of hippocampal volume could be used as a clinically effective factor for evaluating the decrease of the intelligence of TLE patients.

Objective To evaluate effects of human papilloma virus(HPV)16E7 on expressions of six tumor suppressor genes(including MT1G, NMES1, RRAD, SFRP1, SPARC and TFPI2)in a cell line SiHa, as well as on its proliferation and apoptosis. Methods SiHa cells were divided into two groups to be transfected with a small interfering RNA targeting HPV16E7(E7SiRNA, experimental group)and an empty vehicle(negative control group) respectively, with SiHa cells receiving no treatment serving as the blank control group. After 48 hours, qPCR was performed to measure the mRNA expressions of E7 and six tumor suppressor genes, CCK?8 assay to evaluate cellular proliferative activity, and flow cytometry to assess apoptosis of SiHa cells. Results At 48 hours after the transfection, the experimental group showed significantly decreased E7 mRNA expression(0.25 ± 0.036, P<0.05), but increased mRNA expressions of the six genes(MT1G 1.403 ± 0.190, NMES1 1.720 ± 0.060, RRAD 1.390 ± 0.160, SFRP1 1.493 ± 0.120, SPARC 2.157 ± 0.144, TFPI2 2.060 ± 0.122, all P < 0.05). The proliferative activity of SiHa cells was significantly decreased(0.554 ± 0.130 vs. 1.028 ± 0.236 and 1.220 ± 0.126, both P<0.05), but the apoptosis rate was significantly increased(9.222%vs. 0.246%and 0.123%, both P<0.05)in the experimental group compared with the negative control group and blank control group. No significant differences were observed between the negative control group and blank control group in proliferative activity or apoptosis rate of SiHa cells(both P>0.05). Conclusion E7 may participate in HPV16?induced cellular malignant transformation by suppressing the mRNA expressions of 6 tumor suppressor genes, including MT1G, NMES1, RRAD, SFRP1, SPAR and TFPI2.

Objective To study the value and limitation of CT in the damage to multiple organs in children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Methods Analysis of CT manifestations was performed in 13 cases of LCH proved by clinical features, laboratory data, and pathologic changes. Localized LCH was found in 4 cases, and disseminated LCH in 9 cases. All cases were examined by plain scan in craniocerebral, chest, liver, and spleen, and four cases by contrast-enhanced CT scan. Results The male outnumbered female in this group. Cranial bones were involved in the sequence of temporal bone(8 cases), parietal bone (3 cases), occipital bone (2 cases), and frontal bone (1 case). CT findings were very sensitive in showing the early destructions of the bones. The characteristic manifestation on CT was multiple lytic lesions of the flat bones at any sites, without reactive sclerosis and soft tissue mass accompanied with the bony lesion. Imaging findings presented later than the clinical manifestations for LCH involving the hypothalamus/pituitary axis. Involvement of the lung at various stages by LCH could be demonstrated by CT scan. Conclusion Imaging manifestations had no characteristics in LCH involvement. The sites of predilection and related CT manifestations could be suggestive of the diagnosis. In addition, CT findings can be helpful in the classification and evaluation of the therapy and prognosis in LCH.
8.Review on studies of acupuncture treatment for luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2015;(6):398-404
Luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome (LUFS), a specific type of ovulation disorder, is for a cause of female infertility. Acupuncture therapy has a good effect for LUFS. In order to understand the clinical effects and research situation of acupuncture therapy for LUFS, the author analyzed and reviewed the relevant literature. It was indicated by the findings that acupuncture therapy and integrative therapy of acupuncture and Chinese herbs have good therapeutic effect for this disease. Acupuncture therapy has the effect to promote ovulation. By the therapeutic principle to tonify the kidney and circulate blood, acupuncture therapy mostly was adopted in the period of ovulation. The acupoints are mostly selected from the lower abdomen and lower limbs, possibly based upon syndrome differentiation at the same time. The needling techniques are of certain characteristics. But, the issues of low quality, un-standardized inclusive, exclusive criteria and effective criteria still exist in the current clinical study.

Objective To observe and evaluate clinical therapeutic effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on malignant tumor. Methods 20 patients of malignant tumors of different nature and different stages were subjected to PDT or PDT-predominant comprehensive therapy. All the patients were followed-up, and the clinical results were analyzed. Results Among these patients, 3 tumors at early stage showed complete remission (CR), and no relapse was found in the follow-up period. Among the 17 cases with tumors in advanced stage, CR was seen in 9 cases, PR in 8, and 3 patients died of causes other than PDT after 1-6 months of follow-up. Conclusion PDT shows a curative effect on malignant tumors in early stage, and fairly good therapeutic effect on those in advanced stage. It is one of the optional treatments for malignant tumors.
