ObjectiveTo investigate advantage and disadvantage of different rehabilitation therapies used for cerebral palsy (CP) children complicated with epilepsy (EP).Methods140 CP children complicated with EP screened from 1402 CP cases, were analyzed for CP and EP types, MRI or CT, brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP). All cases were treated with anti-epilepsy drugs (AEDs). Different rehabilitation therapies, including electrotherapeutic modalities, acupuncture, point injection, cerebroprotein hydrolysate injection, manual therapy, functional training, Chinese herb braising therapy, and cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection were assessed.ResultsIn all 140 cases, a majority of EP types were myoclonic seizure and west syndrome, CP type was spasticity. Abnormality showed in MRI or CT (98%) and BAEP (90%). AEDs were effective for all 140 cases. Electrotherapeutic modalities, acupuncture, point injection, and cerebroprotein hydrolysate injection could make EP severely, but manual therapy, functional training, Chinese herb braising therapy, cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection had no adverse effects on EP cases.ConclusionThe principles of rehabilitation treatment for the CP children complicated with EP are taking AEDs early and in a long term, avoiding electrotherapeutic modalities, acupuncture, point injection, and cerebroprotein hydrolysate injection, using manual therapy, functional training, Chinese herb braising therapy, and cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection.

Childhood malignant solid tumors exhibit a wide variety of vagueness signs and symptoms in the early stage,which are usually nonspecific,therefore the diagnosis of childhood malignant solid tumor can be challenging when the disease is in the early stage.As a result,the delay of diagnosis causes mistreatment,and which makes childhood malignant solid tumors become a leading cause of death in children.Physicians should recognize the early warning signs of childhood cancer,and a good clinical history and careful physical examination can help physicians determine whether the children have cancer and make referrals in time.Some children with possible cancers require immediate initial treatment before referral to be stabilized in order to make the referrals possible and increase the chance of receiving appropriate treatment in time and the possibility of being cured,saving more children with malignant solid tumors to the maximum extent.

Objective To find the source of CA 125 in serum and the values of the expression of CA125 in serum, ascites and tissue in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods Detected the expression of CA125 in the primary lesions of epithelial ovarian cancer and the metastasis in abdominopelvic cavity (peritoneal and omental metastatic lesions) by S-P immunohistochemical methods. Compared the expression of CA 125 in tuberculose focus and acute inflammation focus in abdominopelvic cavity and detected CA125 in serum and ascites by ELISA. Results The levels of CA125 in serum of the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer [(523.66±158.02)kU/L],benign epithelial ovarian tumor [(138.11±26.52)kU/L] and tuberculosis of abdominopelvie cavity [(486.56±147.10)kU/L] were higher than that with the normal ovary [(17.48±3.37)kU/L], and there were significant differences (P<0.05).The levels of CA125 in serum of the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and tuberculosis of abdominopelvic cavity were significantly higher than that with benign epithelial ovarian tumor, and there were significant differenees (P<0.01). The levels of CA125 in ascites of the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer [(996.85±337.87)kU/L] and tuberculosis of abdominopelvic cavity [(596.78±197.10)kU/L] were higher than that with benign epithelial ovarian tumor [(179.48±63.08)kU/L] and normal ovary [(177.70±51.72)kU/L], and there were significant differences (P<0.01).The level of CA125 in ascites of the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer was higher than that with tuberculosis of abdominopelvic cavity, and there was significant difference (P<0.01). By correlation analysis, the relationship of the level of CA 125 in serum and in ascites of the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer was positive correlation(r=0.687). Conclusion Besides the original and metastatie lesions (greater omenta and peritoneum) of epithelial ovarian cancer can express CA 125, the second Maller canal, for example the peritoneum mesothelial cell can be stimulated to express CA125 by ascites, which results in the increase of CA125 in serum.

BACKGROUND:With the improvement of cervical posterior surgical techniques, lateral mass screw fixation technology has been widely used in the reconstruction surgery of the cervical spine for stability. However, currently, the finite element study on the lateral mass screw fixation reconstruction of the cervical spine is rare. OBJECTIVE:To establish a fine normal lower cervical spine (C3-C7 ) three-dimensional finite element model and a reconstructed finite element model with three-segment laminectomy with lateral mass screw fixation. Then, to do an initial biomechanical analysis of the lateral mass screw fixation reconstructed lower cervical finite element model. METHODS:We col ected a normal female volunteer aged 30 years old to do CT scan for the whole cervical spine. The Dicom data were obtained. Then, the CT scanning images were dealt with software Mimics 10.01, Geomagic Studio 12.0, Solidworks2012, HyperMesh 10.1 and Abaqus 6.12 software to build the normal lower cervical spine (C 3-C7 ) finite element model, the laminectomy finite element model and the rebuilt finite element model. At last, we analyzed the stress changes of reconstructed models under the state of flexion, extension, lateral bending and rotational motion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The lower cervical spine finite element model contained 503 911 elements and 93 390 nodes with a fine realistic appearance. It successful y passed the validation. The surgical procedure was completed in the software, and the lateral mass screw fixation reconstruction finite element model has been established. Lateral mass screw fixation system provides good stability for the postoperative finite element model. The activity of rebuilt finite element model is much lower than the normal finite element model. In the extension condition, the stress of lateral mass screw fixation system becomes strong.
