Status epilepticus basis for sustained duration and response to treatment can be divided into early status epilepticus,established status epilepticus,refractory status epilepticus and super-refractory status epilepticus. This article reviews the treatment approaches. Mainly conducted a systematic review for treatment strategy of refractory status epilepticus and super-refractory status epilepticus. Including pathogenic factors and cerebral damage analysis. It proposed super-refractory status epilepticus is an uncommon but important clinical problem with high mortality and morbidity rates. The published world literature on the following treatments is critically evaluated:anaesthetic a-gents,anti-epileptic drugs,magnesium infusion,pyridoxine,steroids and immunotherapy,ketogenic diet,hypothermia,e-mergency resective neurosurgery and multiple subpial transection,transcranial magnetic stimulation,vagal nerve stimula-tion,deep brain stimulation,electroconvulsive therapy,drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid and other older drug thera-pies. The importance of treating the identifying cause is stressed. And recommend protocols take a staged approach to treatment. A protocols and flowcharts for managing refractory status epilepticus and super-refractory status epilepticus are suggested.

Electroencephalogram(EEG) is necessary in diagnosis of status epilepticus (SE),particularly in non-convulsive SE with minor or atypical clinical manifestations.SE is a dynamic process,as seizures continue,in which EEG changed and appeared nonepileptic rhythm discharges.Ictal EEG patterns of SE are non-specific and different types of SE have different EEG features.In this paper,the EEG of different type SE will be summarized.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol and midazolam anesthesia in the treatment of persistent state of intractable epilepsy in children.Methods A total of fifty children with intractable epilepsy were selected in Guangzhou Women and Children''s Medical Center from May 2011 to May 2016,and were divided into propofol group and midazolam group according to the method of anesthesia,each group 25 cases.In the treatment,continuous EEG and ECG monitoring were applied in both groups,and the changes in hemodynamics were recorded in order to compare the medication and treatment effects.Results After epilepsy was under control and drug was withdrawn,the heart rate (HR),systolic pressure (SBP),diastolic pressure (DBP) of the two groups were all reduced,lower than the data collected before the treatment,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);in the propofol group,HR and SBP after control were (93.21±17.61) time/min and (92.44±12.84) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),lower than those of the midazolam group((109.84±18.41) time/min,(101.93±14.79) mmHg,t=3.264,2.423,P<0.05);the medication time,control time,intubation time of the propofol group were all shorter than those of the midazolam group ((13.21±2.14) h vs.(15.39±3.39) h,(3.47±0.89) min vs.(8.79±1.21) min,(2.03±0.79) d vs.(6.31±1.34) d,t=2.719,17.709,13.757,P<0.05);the total effective rate in the propofol group was significantly higher than that of the midazolam group (97.5%(39/40) vs.82.5%(33/40),χ2=5.357,P=0.021).Conclusion Propofol is effective in the treatment of persistent state of intractable epilepsy in children with good sedative effect,and can also reduce children''s resistance,therefore it''s worth promoting and applying into treatment.

Objective To study the effect of anterolateral calf flap with extra-territorial blood supply in repairing large area of foot skin tissue injury. Methods 40 cases of arge area of foot skin tissue injury were divided into the observation group which were given anterolateral crural flap transplantation and the control group which were given anterolateral thigh flap transplantation. The wound healing condition and walking ability were observed. Results The level of wound healing, Holden walking ability and FAC walking ability were better than control group (P<0. 05). In the observation group, wound healing time was (15. 2 ± 6. 2) d and donor skin crusting time was (9. 4 ± 1. 5) d, which were less than the control group(P<0. 05). Conclusion Anterolateral calf flap with extra-territorial blood supply has positive clinical value as it can improve wound healing and walking function.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and the imaging examination changes of bacterial meningitis in children of different age groups,and to offer theoretical basis for the clinic diagnosis of bacterial meningi-tis. Methods The sick children with bacterial meningitis treated in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from January 2011 to June 2013,were recruited and divided into three groups according to the age,including newborns group,infants group and more than 1 year group. Eighty-nine cases with purulent meningitis were recruited,included 58 males and 31 females. Among them,there were 34 cases in the newborns group,41 cases in the infants group and 14 ca-ses in the more than 1-year group. The information on the clinical features,laboratory examination and the imaging ex-amination were summarized and analyzed,and were compared among the 3 groups. Results (1)Among them,54 cases with high fever,44 cases with respiratory symptoms,12 cases with alimentary tract symptoms. (2)The major neurologi-cal features included convulsions(44 cases,49. 4%),fatigue(36 cases,40. 4%),vomiting(21 cases,23. 6%),cervical rigidity(9 cases,10. 1%),fontanel full(7 cases,7. 9%),headache(6 cases,6. 7%),limb paralysis(5 cases,5. 6%). The percentage of high fever,vomiting,headache,cervical rigidity in the more than 1 year group were significantly more than those of the newborns group and the infants group(χ2=10. 093,12. 063,34. 466,7. 177,all P<0. 05). (3)Among them,whitebloodcell(WBC)accountswerefrom2.20to60.60×109/L,themeanwas(16.49±10.37)×109/L.Hy-persensitive C-reaction protein concentration in blood was 4. 00 to 376. 53 g/L,the mean was (131. 07±86. 91) g/L. In cerebrospinal fluid(CSF),WBC accounts were from 1 to 21 800×106/L,the mean was (910. 05±274. 07)×106/L, the glucose concentration from 0. 00 to 4. 50 mmol/L,the mean (1. 72±1. 03)mmol/L,the protein concentration from 0. 42 to 4. 89 g/L,the mean was(1. 64±1. 03)g/L. In 40 cases with atypical CSF change, 23 cases with CSF glucose ratio(CSF glucose/blood glucose) less than or equal to 0. 4, and 15 cases with blood cultures positive. (4)The image examination showed magnetic resonance imaging( MRI) abnormalities in 51/75 cases,computerized tomography( CT) scan abnormalities in 15/30 cases. The percentage of convulsions,the brain MRI abnormalities and the MRI display rate of bacterial meningitis in the infants group were significantly more than those of the newborns group and the more than 1 year group(χ2=11. 768,9. 047,7. 674,all P<0. 05). The display rate of meningitis and subdural hydroma by the brain MRI were significantly more than those of the head CT scan(χ2=7. 430,5. 291,all P<0. 05). Conclusions Be-cause of the atypical clinical features of bacterial meningitis in newborn and infant, lumber puncture should be per-formed in all doubtful cases who had a fever and/or seizure. CSF glucose less than or equal to 0. 4 of simultaneously ob-tained blood glucose value,the enhanced MRI sequence or blood cultures were useful for the likelihood of meningitis,if CSF chemistries and cytology vary atypically. The MRI sequence can significantly mostly improve the display rate of bacterial meningitis than the enhance CT.

Objective:To analyze the effective and safety of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) at one tertiary center, and to improve the outcomes of RAAA under fast-track protocol.Methods:Nineteen cases of RAAA in the 940th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2014 to December 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. EVAR-fist strategy was employed from the emergency room to the operating room by using fast-track protocol. Preoperative management, anatomic characteristics, choice of anesthesia, operative procedures and postoperative complications were collected and analyzed. Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and hospital mortality were paid special attention.Results:Nineteen cases were undergone EVAR procedures. The age was (73.4 ± 7.4) years old, and the AAA size was (67.8 ± 13.6) mm. Two cases underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation at emergency department. General anesthesia was used in 13 patients and local anaesthesia in 6 patients. Successful stent graft deployment was achieved in all cases. The duration from emergency room to operating room was (84.8 ± 22.4) min. The hospital stay time was (9.7 ± 5.7) d. The hospital mortality was 5/19. The 5 deaths were reviewed: 3 died for multiple organ failure, 1 for irreversible shock, and 1 for ongoing bleeding.Conclusions:Excellent results were confirmed by using EVAR-first strategy for RAAA. The management of hemodynamically unstable state, standardized endovascular procedure, fast-track program and multidiscipline team collaboration were the very important determining factors for the implementation of EVAR. Focused efforts to reduce RAAA mortality are warranted.

Objective:To compare the influence of single and staged percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on long-term prognosis in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease.Methods:Using prospective research methods, 1 832 patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease from January to December 2013 in Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were selected. According to the time of PCI, the patients were divided into single PCI group (1 218 cases) and staged PCI group (614 cases). The patients were followed up for 2 years, the primary endpoint was major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), including target vessel-related myocardial infarction (TV-MI), target vessel-related revascularization (TVR), cardiogenic death and stroke, and the secondary endpoint was stent thrombosis. The propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance the discrepancies between 2 groups, and the baseline and follow-up data were compared. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves were drawn to evaluate the survival rates events; multifactor Cox proportional risk regression was used to analyze whether staged PCI was an independent risk factor for the endpoint events.Results:The in-hospital stay, duration of procedure and synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with taxus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) score in single PCI group were significantly lower than those in staged PCI group: (5.54±3.09) d vs. (9.50±4.06) d, (43.12±28.55) min vs. (79.54±44.35) min, (14.04±7.63) scores vs. (18.51±7.79) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there were no statistical difference in complete revascularization rate and SYNTAX score after PCI between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Based on 2-year follow-up, the incidences of TV-MI and stent thrombosis in staged PCI group were significantly higher than those in single PCI group: 2.1% (13/614) vs. 0.5% (6/1 218) and 2.0% (12/614) vs. 0.4% (5/1 218), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curves analysis results showed that the event-free survival rates of TV-MI and stent thrombosis in single PCI group were better than those in staged PCI group (99.5% vs. 97.9% and 99.6% vs. 98.0%, P<0.01). Multifactor Cox proportional risk regression analysis results showed that staged PCI was an independent risk factor for stent thrombosis ( HR = 3.91, 95% CI 1.25 to 12.18, P = 0.019). After PSM, the incidences of TV-MI and stent thrombosis in staged PCI group were significantly higher than those in single PCI group: 2.1% (13/614) vs. 0.7% (4/614) and 2.0% (12/614) vs. 0.5% (3/614), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis results showed that the event-free survival rates of TV-MI and stent thrombosis in single PCI group were significantly higher than those in staged PCI group: (99.3% vs. 97.9% and 99.5% vs. 98.0%, P<0.05); multifactor Cox proportional risk regression analysis results showed that staged PCI was not an independent risk factor of stent thrombosis ( HR = 2.29, 95% CI 0.58 to 9.00, P = 0.234). Both before and after PSM, there were no evidences for interaction between the type of angina pectoris and staged PCI ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Although a seemingly increase exists in the incidence of TV-MI and stent thrombosis in the staged PCI group, staged PCI is an independent risk factor neither for MACCE and its components, nor for stent thrombosis. In addition single PCI reduces the in-hospital days and duration of PCI procedure, which may be a relatively reasonable approach to clinical practice.
