Objective To explore the characteristic and clinical value of Somatosensory Evoked Potential SEP and event?related potential P300 in patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME), trying to provide neuroelectrophysiological evidence for the pathogenesis, diagnosis and antiepileptic drug efficacy of this disease . Methods 28 patients with JME and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in the research. They were applied the SEP and P300 before and after one year treatment. Results (1) The amplitude of SEP in patients with JME was significantly higher than those in the control group(P=0.000), the abnormal rate was 75%(21/28), while the latency of SEP was no significant difference (P>0.05); The latency of P300 in patients with JME was significantly longer (P = 0.000), 2 out of 28 cases were poorly differentiated, 9 cases were longer (11/28, 39%), while the P300 amplitude was no significant difference(P=0.110). (2) After treatment, the amplitude of SEP was significantly lower (P<0.05), the latency of P300 was significantly shorter (P=0.001). (3) The amplitude of SEP had a positively linear relationship with the latency of P300 (r = 0.818, P = 0.000). Conclusions The SEP amplitude was significantly higher in patients with JME, often accompanied by a huge SEP, so SEP can provide electrophysiological evidence for the pathogenesis and diagnosis of this disease.And P300 may give a chance to find the subclinical cognitive abnormalities and to intervent it early. The SEP had a positively linear relationship with the P300, simultaneously dynamic monitoring the change of SEP amplitude and P300 latency may become an objective evaluation for the antiepileptic drug efficacy.

Objective To assess the association of subclinical thyroid dysfunction with fractures. Methods Medline, Embase, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, Wan Fang, and VIP databases were systematically searched from January 1990 to August 2015 to identify prospective cohort studies which have studied the risk of fracture in patients with subclinical thyroid dysfunction. The relative risks ( RR) of cohort studies were pooled respectively, depending on the result of heterogeneity test among the individual studies search. The Stata (version 13. 0) software was used for meta-analysis. Results Nine prospective cohort studies including 292460 participants were identified as eligible for the meta-analysis. RR of subclinical hyperthyroidism for fracture was 1. 39(95%CI 1. 24-1. 55);for hip fracture, RR was 1. 24(95%CI 1. 10-1. 40);for nonspine fracture, RR was 1. 32 (95%CI 1. 09-1. 60). Different gender for subclinical hyperthyroid was associated with higher fracture rates:for females, RR was 1. 15(95%CI 1. 04-1. 27); for males, RR was 1. 31 (95% CI 1. 08-1. 59). The incidence of fracture in patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism was higher during the follow-up. For subclinical hypothyroidism, the RR was 1. 21(95% CI 1. 03-1. 42). Subgroup analysis indicated that there were significant differences between endogenous/exogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism and euthyroid, but no differences between endogenous/exogenous subclinical hypothyroidism and euthyroid were found. Conclusion Subclinical hyperthyroidism is associated with an increased risk of fracture in the population, especially hip fracture and nonspine fracture. During the course of subclinical hyperthyroidism, the incidences of fracture should be noticed both in females and males. However, there is no evidence which could prove a definite association between subclinical hypothyroidism and the risk of fracture.

Objective To probe deficits in visuospatial attention using an attention network test (ANT) in patients with frontoparietal network lesions. Methods The ANT was used to measure the alertness, orienting and executive control abilities of 25 patients with local brain lesions, including 13 with frontal and 12 with parietal damage. Their results were compared with those of health adults. Results During ANT tasks, the patients' responses were significantly slower on each cue and target condition than controls', and showed deficits in their alerting and orienting networks. The efficiency of executive control was impaired in patients with frontal lesions, but increased with parietal lesions. Conclusions These findings suggest that the frontoparietal network is involved in alerting and orienting, but the executive control function may be selectively associated with the frontal lobe. ANT is an efficienttool for studying visual attention and cognition.
