Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2006;0(20):-
Objective To detect the possibility of brain damage in the epileptic children with single episodes.Methods The serum and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)levels of neuron-specific enolase(NSE)in 20 cases with single episodes within 24 hours after seizures and 38 cases of controls were determined respectively by electrochemiluminescence,and the levels of S-100? protein(S-100?) and myelin basic protein(MBP)were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results The levels of NSE in serum and CSF in epileptic group were(15.01?5.14) ?g/L and(7.84?2.62) ?g/L,respectively,and controls were(10.33?2.48) ?g/L,(3.95?1.58) ?g/L.The levels of S-100? in serum and CSF in epileptic group were(0.39?0.15) ?g/L and(0.59?0.20) ?g/L,respectively,and controls were(0.11?0.05) ?g/L,(0.29?0.19) ?g/L.The levels of MBP in serum and CSF in epileptic group were(0.23?0.09) ?g/L and(0.33?0.07) ?g/L,respectively,and controls were(0.23?0.06) ?g/L,(0.31?0.07) ?g/L.The serum and CSF levels of NSE,S-100? in epileptic group within 24 hours after seizures were significantly higher than those in control group(all P0.05).Conclusions The levels of NSE and S-100? in serum and CSF can reach higher levels within 24 hours after seizures,neuronal damage may result from single episodes.

Purpose:To evaluate the clinical effect of late-course hyperfractionated (LCH) radiotherapy and conventionally fractionated (CF) radiotherapy for local advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:From August 1995 to April 1998, 74 patients with inoperable stage Ⅲ NSCLC were randomized into two groups: CF and LCH. 37 patients in CF group received a fraction of 2 Gy daily, 5 days per week, to the total dose of 65~70 Gy /6.5~7 weeks. 37 patients in LCH group were treated with the same fractionation as CF group to the dose of 40 Gy, and then followed by LCH radiotherapy: 1.2Gy, twice daily, with the interval of 6 hours between fractions, to the total dose of 64 Gy/6 weeks. Results:The overall response rate in LCH group and CF group were 78.4%(29/37) and 62.2%(23/37) respectively, the difference was significant (P

Objective To investigate the arthroscopic inside-out repairing technique(hybrid suture technique) for bucket-handle tear of inside meniscus and present the short-term clinical outcome. Methods Twenty patients with 20 repairable inside meniscus tears were enrolled. With arthroscopic technique,the midbody portion and anterior portion of the lesion were repaired using standard inside-out technique with vertical and interlacing tibial and femoral side arrangement. For the most posterior portion, all-inside suture technique with two posterior portals were performed. For isolated red-white zone tears,fibrin clot was implanted into the repaired region for enhancing the healing pro-ACL injuries were reconstructed simultaneously. Results Twenty patients with 20 meniscal repairs were available for 5-36 (19.2 ± 2.3)months follow-up. Eighteen cases were asymptomatic at the latest clinical evaluation,and joint space tenderness in 2 cases. Twenty cases received MRI evaluation during follow-up, showing that 15 menisci were completely healed, 5 partially healed. Postoperative Lysholm scores of the knee joint function [82-97(90.3 ±1.5) points] were significantly improved compared with their preoperative scores [45-69 (56.7 ± 2.0)points] (P = 0.024).Conclusion For meniscal tears involving red-red and red-white zones,arthroscopic hybrid suture technique provides stable strength along the whole length of injured region, and consequently achieves satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Objective To investigate the effect of stellate ganglion block ~SGB) on formalin-induced nociceptive behavior of rabbits, the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor ~BDNF) of dorsal root ganglia ~DRG) and the concentration of serum interleukin-8 ~IL-8) in rabbits. Methods Twenty-four rabbits were used in this study. Catheters were inserted closely to right stellate ganglia of the animals, which were randomly divided into control group ~A), SGB group ~B) and pain model group ~C). Group B and C were administered with an injection of 0.5ml of 3% formalin into the right front paw subcutaneously, group A 0.5ml saline by the same way. 0.5ml of (0.25)% bupivacaine was administered via the catheter in group B at 10 minutes before injection, while group A and C were given 0.5ml of saline at the same time. Nociceptive behavior was observed for 60 minutes after injection, and assessed by weighted pain score. Serum IL-8 was measured radioimmunologically at 10 minutes ~T_0) before injection, 10 ~T_1), 60 ~T_2) and 120 minutes ~T_3) after injection. The expression of BDNF in the right DRG of cervical 7, 8 and thoracic 1 was investigated immunohistochemically at 120 minutes after injection. Results Formalin-induced nociceptive behavior in phase Ⅱ was relieved following SGB. The concentration of serum IL-8 in groups B and C at T_2 and T_3 was significantly increased than that at T_0 and T_1~P

Objective To exlore clinical characteristics and changes of electroencephalography(EEG) in children with migraine.Methods Clinical data of 98 children with migraine provided by our hospitals clinic service were analysed.The cases′ history were inquired,physical examination made(EEG),Video-EEG(V-EEG) and transcranial doppler sonography(TCD) were examined.After(diagnosis) was made,the patients were treated and followed up.Results In 98 cases of migraine,27 cases were classical migraine and 71(cases) were ordinary migraine.EEG and V-EEG indicated most of them were in normal range and increase in diffused inactive echoes,and only 1 case of 98 EEG showed scattered epileptic waves;TCD indicated that the velocities of blood flow of intracranial arteries of 87 children with migraine were faster.Conclusions Clinical characteristics of children with migraine is similar with adault.Diagnosis of children with migraine and epilepsy,apply both EEG and TCD have great value in diagnosis of children with migraine.

Objective To investigate the function of transferrin-DNA complex,transported by transferrin(Tf)and trans-arterial injection via interventional approach be the duel-target-orientated delivery and the transferring into malignant cells to get more effective therapy.Methods p53-LipofectAMINE ligand with different concentrations of Tf(0,10,25,50,100?g)transfected the 4 strains including LM6、Hep3B、YY and L02 in vitro to evaluate the gene transfeetion efficiency through western blot.Then,after setting up the VX2 hepatocarcinoma models,we delivered the Tf-p53-LipofeetAMINE complex into the hepatic arteries via interventional techniques to analyse the transfection efficiency in vivo.Results Tf,within the range of 10 100?g,could increase gene transfection efficiency mediated by liposome,and the efficiency increases with the raise of Tf concentration.Combination with interventional technique to inject Tf-DNA complex into tumor arteries,gene transfeetion efficiency was enhanced in rabbit models.Conclusion Tf can enhance gene- liposome transfection efficiency,furthermore with combination of interventional catheter technique,there would be a potential duel-target-orientated gene therapy method.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:99-103)
