Cognitive function is the advanced features of brain and neonatal cognitive function has its own development characteristics. Quantitative electroencephalogram can reflect the state of brain function directly and objectively and can be used in cognitive research. Event-related potential,induced by stimulation,is the neu-roelectrophysiologic of brain cognitive processing and time-locked to cognitive events. In recent years,research-ers have made great progress in exploring the neonatal cognitive function with the help of quantitative electroen-cephalogram and event-related potential. This review summarizes the progress of these two technologies in neo-natal brain cognitive function.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of cognitive development in different aged neonates.Methods Sixty-two newborns were randomly selected from relatively normal full-term babies in Changzhou Children's Hospital from December 2013 to September 2015.Electroencephalogram (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERP) were recorded with the auditory Oddball paradigm.Cognitive EEG delta power and the N2 wave area of different ages (1-10,11-20 and 21-28 days) were compared.Paired t test,analysis of variance and the LSD test were used for statistical analysis.Results (1) Delta power in the resting and cognition state:neonatal cognitive delta power in the 11-20 and 21-28 days old groups was (268.22± 132.09) and (236.01±97.40) μ V2,respectively,significantly higher than the resting delta power of the same groups [(175.80 ± 80.80) and (178.78 ± 104.74) μ V2,t=2.539 and 2.845,P=0.020 and 0.010,respectively].(2) Cognitive delta power in different aged neonates:cognitive delta power in the 11-20 and 21-28 days old groups was (268.22± 132.09) and (236.01 ±97.40) μ V2,respectively,higher than that of the 1-10 days old group [(116.70± 56.70) μV2],with statistically significant difference (LSD test,both P＜0.05).(3) Neonatal ERP:ERP of the 1-10 days old group presented with multiple peaks of a flat composite wave,in the 11-20 and 21-28 days old groups,the N2 wave showed a regular and rising trend,gradually to a single wave,and became gradually mature.The N2 wave area in the 11-20 and 21-28 days old groups was (6 435.08±2 212.34) and (6 536.75± 1 969.86) ms · μ V,respectively,which was larger than that in the 1-10 days old group [(4 230.04± 1 550.55) ms · μ V] (LSD test,both P＜0.05).Conclusions Neonatal cognitive development is enhanced with age and there may be a period of more rapid cognitive development,especially at 11-20 days of age.

Objective To explore the the rapeutic efficacies of different surgical methods for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage so as to find out their indications. Methods Admittedin to 218 eases of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage since, which treated by tereotaetie aspiration or eraniotomy through small bone window or eraniotomy through bone flap was divided into three subgroups according to GCS scores and hematoma volume indications and trerapeutic outcomes of these three surgical methods were analyzed comparatively. Results Satisfactory prognosis was found in 64(60.4%) patients of brain hematoma puncture drainage. Satisfactory prognosis was found in 35(54.7%) patients of small windowing skull. No significant was occurred between the two groups (P＞0.05). The mortality rate decreased obviously in the bone-flap eraniotomy group with greathematoma volume (29.2%). Conclusions Puncture drainagc has small wound and instauration quickly. And valid for time to relief encephalothlipsis. In most circumstances, puncture drainage can replace the small hole craniotomy. Bone flap craniotomy can lower a great deal of apoplexy death rate.

Objective To investigate the choice and efficacy of surgury in treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods The clinical data of 278 cases of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were retrospectively analyzed. These cases respectively used CT Stereotactic puncture and drainage, minimally invasive craniotomy and Craniotomy hematoma surgical treatment. According to the GCS cores and hematoma volume,they were divided into 3 groups so as to comparatively analyze the efficacy of different surgical methods. Results Hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage CT stereotactic puncture good prognosis group was 74 cases(59.6% ) ,minimally invasive craniotomy group of good prognosis ,48 cases(56.4% ) ,there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞ 0.05). Craniotomy mortality is 15 cases (21.7% ). Conclusion Three surgical treatment of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage had their own characteristics:CT stereotactic puncture and drainage characteristics with less trauma,faster recovery,timely and effectively discharge brain compression. It was a simple and effective treatment for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. In many cases, CT sterotactic puncture and drainage could replace invasive hematoma evacuation.

ObjectiveTo explore the treatment desicions of Contusion and laceration of the brain at temporal lobe and frontal lobe with small hematoma and base pond changes. MethodsAccording to three grades of consciousnee,areas of brain contusion or quantity of hematoma,and changes of base pond,it divided 274 patients into different types,then analyzed treatments and retrospect to them. Results33 cases of Type Ⅰ:33 cases had operated immediatelly and 3 cases had died;44 cases of Type Ⅱ:17 cases had delayed operations and 1 case had died;27 cases without operations.Type Ⅲ: 15 cases without operations. ConclusionThese "three-3" method of grade could be regarded as the quantification index of treatment desicions before deterioration.

Objective:To investigate the effect of insular involvement on the outcomes of patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, Nanjing Jinling Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University from January 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively included. Demographic data, vascular risk factors, clinical and laboratory data, as well as treatment and outcomes were collected. Firstly, the correlation between the insular involvement and the outcomes was investigated, and then the bootstrap method was used to clarify the mediating role of infarct volume between the insular involvement and the poor outcomes.Results:A total of 450 patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke were enrolled, among whom 79 cases (17.6%) had insular involvement and 41 (9.1%) had left insular involvement. There were 111 (24.7%) with poor outcomes, including 5 (1.1%) died. Compared to the non-insular involvement group, the insular involvement group had a higher proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation, shorter onset to door time, higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission, larger infarct volume, and higher proportion of patients with poor outcomes (all P<0.05). In addition, patients with left insular involvement were younger than those with right insular involvement, had a higher baseline NIHSS score, a lower proportion of patients with minor stroke (NIHSS score ≤8), and had a longer onset to door time (all P<0.05). Compared to the good outcome group, the poor outcome group was older, with a higher proportion of female patients, higher systolic blood pressure, blood glucose, NLR, and NIHSS scores at admission, larger infarct volume, and a higher proportion of patients with insular involvement (all P<0.05). Mediation analysis suggested that the mediating effect of infarct volume between the insular involvement and the poor outcomes was significant (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.230; P=0.008). Conclusions:insular involvement in patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke is associated with the poor outcomes, and this association may be mediated by infarct volume. Patients with left insular involvement may have more severe symptoms than those with right insular involvement, but there is no significant difference in the outcomes.
