1.Use of the ketogenic diet as treatment for refractory epilepsy and autism in the paediatric age
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;30(5):395-398
There has been great progress in seizure control with the development of antiepileptic drugs,but 30% of epileptic children are refractory to antiepileptic drugs.In order to control intractable epilepsy and improve neurodevelopment prognosis,the non-drug therapy such as surgery,vagus nerve stimulation and ketogenic diet (KD) can be taken.Despite its indisputable effectiveness,the functioning of the KD has not been explained.Now the antiepileptic mechanism and neuroprotective mechanisms are studied mainly.It is reported that KD is effective in variety of refractory epilepsy,and recent studies have shown that KD promising in the treatment of children with autism.Although KD is effective,it is worth further study that including its mechanism,recipe,clinical application,and so on.

3.Pay close attention to drug-induced lupus
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2008;6(5):458-62
Drug-induced lupus (DIL) is a lupus-like illness that has been recognized as a side effect of over 80 drugs since its first description in association with sulfadiazine in 1945. The epidemiology and clinical course of idiopathic systemic lupus erythematosus and DIL differ markedly, and prognosis is generally favorable in the latter although occasional life-threatening cases have been reported in the literature. Constant pharmacovigilance is crucial for prompt diagnosis and cessation of offending therapy, hence achieving the best outcome. This review discusses the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of DIL so as to call for vigilance of medical workers.
4.Content Determination of Icariin in Fuchun Tablets with Reversed-phase High-efficiency Liquid Chromatography
Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(01):-
A simple, rapid and accurate method is described for the determination of icariin in Fuchun Tablets by reversed-phase high-efficiency liquid chromatography. The samples were first extracted with 70% alcohol for 50 minutes The resulting solutions were chromatographed on aYWG-C18 column.By using a mobile phase of methanoltetrahydrofuran-water (26.5:15.9:56.7) and a detection wavelength at 274 nm, the recovery for 101.02%, CV=2.4%,are obtained.The method can be employed for the quality control of Fuchun Tablets.
5.A review of medical image compression techniques
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2008;31(2):77-81
As the increasing of digital imagilag modalities,a close-at-hand challenge to deal with is the storage and transmission requirement of enormous data of medical images.Compression is one of the indispensable techniques to solve this problem.A comprehensive review and discussions are made in this paper over the medial image compression techniques applied in medical image domain,including the latest achievements in this field.Different compression algorithm including ROI-based coding,lossless compression,DWT,neural net are introduced and some quality evaluation methods are introduced.Foreground of the field is given from our point of view.

Objective Our aim was to study the influence of integration courses combining the death education and resilience cultivation on nursing students.Methods 290 nursing students were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group with 145 students in each group.The students in the intervention group was provided with the integration courses for 20 class hours based on the curricula of the control group.The influence on the resilience,death anxiety,feeling of sense of life,coping style of students was observed.Results Measurement results showed that the students of two groups had no differences in the four aspects before education,but after education the two groups students showed significant difference,including the average score of resilience and death anxiety,total score of feeling of sense of life as well as the dimensions score of life goals and life value t value was 5.703,3.294,3.649,4.130 and 2.129,P < 0.05.In addition,the mean effectiveness of positive coping styles,problem solving and seeking social support of the two groups showed significant difference too,and all the difference had statistical sense,t value was 1.992,1.977 and 3.344,P < 0.05.Conclusions The integration course can reduce death anxiety as well as improve the resilience of nursing students.

Objective To characterize the relationship between diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) and serum anti gangliosides antibody(GS). Methods Elderly patients were divided into three groups: patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) showing no DPN,DM group, 25; DPN group, 32; healthy control group, 30. The nerve conduction velocity was measured using Nicolet Viking type IV electromyography(USA). The anti GSIgM Ab and anti GSIgG Ab were examined by solid enzyme immunoassay, and interleukin 1?(IL 1?), IL 2,tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF ?), HbA 1C and NO were also measured. Results The positive rate of anti GSIgM Ab and anti GSIgG Ab in DPN group being 65.6% and 34.4% respectively, was obviously higher than those in N group and DM group(P

Objective To study the esthetic indexes of soft tissue profile in lateral face in Anhui youths with normal occlusion. Methods The study was carried out by taking the cephalometric photographs in the 102 Anhui youths with normal occlusion. The data of measurement were got from the photographs by image database and analysis system (IDAS) software, and statistically evaluated by SPSS software. Some specially selected items were analysed again by Fisher's discriminant method. Results Seven items, i.e. Li Ns Pos, Ls Ns Pos, Ls B, Li B, Sn H, Bs Li FH and Z angle, were chosen as esthetic indexes of facial profile, and the discriminant functional formula was established. Conclusion Combination of all the above 7 items contribute to the beauty of facial profile.
