Objective To observe the effects of stereotactic implanting depth electrode into the hippocampus on monitoring mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods Thirteen patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy were included in the present study.The epilcptogenic zone might be located in the hippocampus based on the symptoms and MRI data.Eight-contact depth electrode was implanted into the patients' hippocampus by stereotactic procedures to record the electroencephalogram(EEG).The duration of monitoring lasted for 24-72 hours or more,so as to be sure if the epileptogenic zone was located in the hippocampus,and to provide evidences for surgical resection of epileptic focus.Results Thirteen patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy underwent video electroencephalogram monitoring for 72 hours.Twentynine epileptic seizures in 7 patients were detected.Ictal EEG changes manifested as paroxysmal slow wave or spike and slow waves on the background.The epileptiform discharges started from some electrode points,and then propagated to others or the contralateral electrode. After 1-2 seconds of delay,high amplitude slow waves with the frequency of 3-4 Hz were observed on the ipsilateral scalp EEG. Clinical epileptic seizures were not detected in 6 patients during monitoring,depth electrode showed paroxysmal focal high amplitude slow wave or spike and sharp waves,scalp EEG did not find abnormality.Six of thirteen patients received surgical resection of epileptic foci,the outcome during follow-up of 3-8 months was satisfactory.Conclusions To record hippocampal EEG in patients with intractable epilepsy by stereotactic implanting depth electrode into the hippocampus might be a safe and reliable method.It might provide strong evidences for the diagnosis of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy,and for the location of epilcptogenic zone.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is an acute cerebrovascular disease with the highest mortality in subtype of stroke, accounting for 15%-20% of all strokes. There was no specific treatment for ICH currently. The mechanism of secondary neurological impairment after ICH remains unclear. Whether it is related to the process of ferroptosis caused by iron deposition is worth to further discuss. This paper reviews the related published articles about ferroptosis, which include mechanisms, inhibition methods and biomarker of ferroptosis.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP), so as to provide reference for clinicians and improve the level of diagnosis and treatment.Methods:14 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of CEP in Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University from January 2012 to July 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Their clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, imaging characteristics, diagnosis and treatment were analyzed.Results:The male to female ratio of 14 patients with CEP was 6∶1, with a median age of 51 years. 3 patients had allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, rash and other allergic history. The course of the disease was about 4 months. The common symptoms included cough (14 cases), expectoration (13 cases), shortness of breath (10 cases), and occasional extrathoracic symptoms such as rash and lymphadenopathy (2 cases). Eight patients had abnormal pulmonary auscultation, mainly coarse respiratory sounds of both lungs and scattered dry and wet rales. The eosinophil count (EOS) in peripheral blood was increased in all patients, and the median EOS count was about 1.42×10 9/L. Total serum IgE increased in 11 patients, of which 10 cases were more than 1 000 ng/ml. Pulmonary function tests were performed in 11 patients, including 5 cases of normal pulmonary function, 3 cases of obstructive ventilation dysfunction and 3 cases of restrictive ventilation dysfunction. All 14 patients underwent lung computer tomography (CT) examination. Most of them (13 cases) were double lung infiltration. The pathological signs were mainly patch shadow (6 cases), ground glass shadow (4 cases), grid shadow (3 cases) and consolidation shadow (3 cases), and scattered nodule shadow (3 cases) was seen in some cases; Mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy occurred in 6 patients. 9 patients underwent bronchoscopic alveolar lavage (BAL) and cell classification and counting. Only 3 cases had EOS counts higher than the normal value (normal value<3%). 10 patients underwent bronchoscopic lung biopsy, and 6 patients had EOS infiltration in lung tissue. 9 patients were treated with glucocorticoids, 8 patients were treated with oral corticosteroids (OCS) (prednisone or methylprednisolone), and the initial dose was 30-50 mg; One case was treated with budesonide atomization alone; Five patients were not diagnosed with CEP, only used antibiotics or other symptomatic treatment, and did not use hormones. Conclusions:As a rare pulmonary disease, CEP has no specific clinical manifestations. The common symptoms are cough, expectoration, shortness of breath, etc, which is easily misdiagnosed. Laboratory tests often indicate increased peripheral blood EOS count and total IgE, and imaging usually shows diffuse infiltration in both lungs, with lymph node enlargement. OCS therapy is the first-line treatment for CEP. The short-term prognosis after OCS treatment is good, but it is prone to relapse. Some novel monoclonal antibody biologics can be used as alternative therapy.

Objective:To evaluate various blood lactate parameters in elderly patients with sepsis for prognostic prediction and exploration of optimal threshold values.The parameters include initial lactate concentration(LACinitial), lactate peak concentration(LACpeak), lactate peak time(LACtimetopeak), lactate accumulation area(LACarea), and 6-hour and 12-hour lactate clearance rates(LC_6 h and LC_12 h).Methods:This study conducted a retrospective screening of elderly patients with sepsis who were admitted to the intensive care unit(ICU)of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between 2008 and 2019.The study collected general information of the patients, as well as vital signs and laboratory indicators within 24 hours after admission.Additionally, the APSⅢ score, SOFA score, and OASIS score were continuously collected or calculated.The outcome variables examined were 28-day mortality from ICU admission, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, and mechanical ventilation time.The study compared the blood lactate parameters between the survival group and the nonsurvival group, and calculated the odds ratio( OR). A receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve)was plotted to analyze and compare the predictive performance of each lactate parameter based on 28-day mortality.The area under the curve(AUC)was calculated.Additionally, Kaplan-Meier survival curves were analyzed using the cutoff value of each lactate parameter. Results:A total of 4 773 elderly sepsis patients were included in the study.Among them, 1 166(24.4%)died within 28 days.The nonsurvival group had significantly higher levels of LACinitial[3.30(2.40, 5.30) vs.2.70(2.20, 3.50)mmol/L, Z=-13.047, P<0.001], LACarea[36.40(18.28, 63.00) vs.14.80(7.40, 27.30)mmol·L -1·h, Z=-10.298, P<0.001], LACpeak[4.00(2.80, 6.70) vs.3.10(2.50, 4.10)mmol/L, Z=-15.573, P<0.001], and LACtimetopeak[7.00(3.00, 15.00) vs.4.00(2.00, 8.00)h, Z=-13.084, P<0.001]. Additionally, the nonsurvival group had significantly lower levels of LC_6 h[0.06(-0.21, 0.29) vs.0.14(-0.22, 0.39), Z=2.966, P=0.003]and LC_12 h[0.12(-0.21, 0.42) vs.0.29(-0.09, 0.50), Z=5.638, P<0.001]. In this study involving 4 773 elderly sepsis cases, the lactate parameters were evaluated for their ability to predict death within 24 hours of ICU admission.The area under the curve(AUC)values, presented in descending order, were as follows: LACpeak[0.651(0.632, 0.670)], LACinitial[0.627(0.607, 0.646)], LACtimetopeak[0.626(0.607, 0.646)], and LACarea[0.590(0.569, 0.610)]. After excluding the cases where the LACarea was 0, the AUC increased to LACarea2[0.739(0.714, 0.764)]. A total of 1 217 patients had their lactate clearance rates at 6 hours and 12 hours calculated, with AUCs of LC_6 h[0.515(0.481, 0.548)]and LC_12 h[0.568(0.534, 0.603)], respectively.Furthermore, among 1 042 elderly sepsis patients with LACinitial>2 mmol/L, the AUCs of LC were LC_6 h[0.560(0.524, 0.596)]and LC_12 h[0.614(0.577, 0.651)]. The optimal cutoff values for LACinitial, LACpeak, LACtimetopeak, LACarea, LC_6 h, and LC_12 h, calculated from ROC curve analysis, were 3.55 mmol/L, 4.45 mmol/L, 7.50 h, 28.65 mmol·L -1·h, 0.304 and 0.272, respectively.The study population was divided into two groups based on whether they achieved the optimal cutoff value or not.The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed a significant and distinguishable difference between these two groups(all P<0.05). Conclusions:In the prediction of 28-day mortality in elderly sepsis patients, LACarea was found to be the most effective indicator.LACpeak, LACinitial, and LACtimetopeak also showed acceptable predictive capabilities.On the other hand, LC performed the worst among the indicators, but its performance could potentially be enhanced by adjusting the applicable population.

OBJECTIVE:To struc turally modify shikimic acid ,and to investigate the reversal effects of its derivatives on paclitaxel-resistant human breast cancer cells MCF- 7/PTX. METHODS :Using shikimic acid as the lead structure ,1-position carboxyl group was structurally modified to synthesize a series of shikimic acid derivatives through esterification ,amidation, hydrogenation and reduction ,etc. Using non-drug resistant cells MCF- 7 as reference ,MTT assay was used to screen derivatives with inhibitory activity as well as half-inhibitory concentration (IC50)and reversal index (RI)of derivatives to MCF- 7/PTX. With the drug resistance-related transgelin 2 as the target ,the molecular docking of the active derivatives with the drug resistance-related protein was carried out by using Glide 1.0 computer-aided design software. RESULTS :Totally 15 derivatives were obtained (T1-T15), of which T 4-T15 were obtained for the first time. MTT assay showed that (3R, 4S, 5R) -N-benzyl-3, 4, 5-trihydroxy-1-cyclohexene-1-formamide(T7),(3R,4S,5R)-N-(3,4,5-trihydroxy-1-cyclohexenylmethyl)-benzylamine(T14), (3R,4S,5R)-3,4-O-isopropyl-5-O-acetyl-1-cyclohexene-1-methyl formate (T15)inhibited MCF- 7 and MCF- 7/PTX cells to a certain extent ;IC50 values of T 7,T14 and T 15 combined with pacliaxel to MCF- 7/PTX cells were significantly lower than that in negative control (Paclitaxel alone )group(P<0.05). RIs of T 14 and T 15 were higher ,and RIs of the highest dose were 8.8 and 9.3, which were equivalent to positive control verapamil (10.8). Th e results of molecular docking showed that the hydroxyl groups at positions 3,4 of T 7 could form multiple hydrogen bonds with ; Arg625 and Asp 627 in the catalytic region of transgelin 2. In addition to the hydrogen bond mentioned above at T 7,the mail:batistuta28@126.com secondary amine side chain at position 1 of T 14 could also form hydrogen bond with Glu 657 of transgelin 2. When the hydroxyl group on the T 15 mother nucleus was derived from the donor group ,the binding of the hydroxyl group to transgelin 2 was closer and the inhibition was enhanced. CONCLUSIONS : The derivatives T 7,T14 and T 15 have certain reverse activity to paclitaxel-resistant human breast cancer cells. The polyhydroxy structure of the mother nucleus is the main structural region of the hydrogen bond between shikimic acid and its derivatives and transgelin 2. The derivation of its power supply group or the introduction of secondary amines and hydrophobic groups into the 1-carboxyl group of shikimic acid is benifit for enhancing the drug resistance reversal effect of derivative .

A patient with thymoma associated immunodeficiency syndrome (Good's syndrome) and bronchiectasis was retrospectively analyzed. Good's syndrome is a rare condition of immunodeficiency that is characterized by thymoma and hypogammaglobulinemia. It is important to bear in mind that Good's syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis When patients repeatedly visited for bronchiectasis or infection, we should alert to their immune state and history of thymoma. Early screening of immunological status and aggressive correction of immune deficiency are beneficial to improving the prognosis to patients with Good's syndrome.

OBJECTIVE To identify an d analyze chemical cons tituents of Pleione yunnanensis with origin of Pleione yunnanensis. METHODS UPLC-Q-Exactive-Plus-Orbitrap-MS was adopted. The determination was performed on Hyperdil GOLD column with mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid solution-0.1% formic acid acetonitrile solution (gradient elution )at the flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 40 ℃,and sample size was 2 µL. The electrospray ion source was adopted,and the scanning range was m/z 100-1 500,and the scanning mode was positive and negative ion exchange mode of full scan+ddMS2. The structure of chemical constituents were determined by using Compound Discoverer 3.1 software,comparing with mzCloud,PubChem network database and OTCML ,on the basis of reference substance and published literatures. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 42 chemical constituents were identified (positive ion mode has 24,negative ion mode has 27), including 13 benzyl succinate glycosides (such as dactylorhin C ,coelovirin A ,militarine),4 phenol glycosides (such as adenosine , guanosine,gastrodin),3 alkaloids(choline,betaine,berberine),and one flavonoid (nobiletin),7 aromatics(such as DL-lysine , DL-arginine,DL-glutamine),one sugar (sucrose),3 benzenes(shancigusin H ,shancigusin H isomer ,batatasin Ⅲ)and 10 others (such as p-methoxybenzoic acid ,monomethyl dodecanedioate ,diphenylamine). Glucose oxybenzyl and some small mole cules are easy to be lost in the cleavage of benzyl succinate glycosides;glycosyl is easy to be lost in the cleavage of phenol glycosides;the cleavage of alkaloids mainly manifest as the cleavage and loss of small molecular substituents ;demethyla- tion reaction is occurred in most flavonoids.
