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.

Extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) accounts for approximately two-thirds of all SCLCs. Chemotherapy is still the main treatment, supplemented with radiotherapy and other comprehensive treatments. Although sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, almost all ES-SCLCs are vulnerable to treatment resistance and have high recurrence rates. Therefore, novel therapies are needed to improve treatment efficacy. The recent advances in radiotherapy for ES-SCLC include prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT). Moreover, immunotherapy has shown good antitumor activity, and immune-checkpoint inhibi-tors may become an important breakthrough in SCLC treatment. This article briefly reviewed the clinical research on radiotherapy and immunotherapy for advanced-stage SCLC.

Objective:To investigate the effect of withdrawal time on postpartum liver function in pregnant women receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) therapy for blocking mother-to-child transmission of HBV.Methods:A prospective study was conducted in Hangzhou First People’s Hospital from June 2016 to August 2018. A total of 84 pregnant women with HBsAg and HBeAg positive were enrolled and divided into two groups according to simple randomized grouping method with 42 cases in each group. In group A TDF was withdrawn immediately after delivery and in group B TDF was withdrawn 12 weeks after delivery. Finally, 66 patients completed the follow-up for 24 weeks postpartum, 35 cases in group A and 31 cases in group B. All patients were administered TDF from week 24-28 of pregnancy. HBV DNA loads and ALT levels were regularly measured and compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the risk factors of postpartum ALT flare. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for statistical processing.Results:Compared with the baseline levels, the HBV DNA loads at 16 weeks postpartum had no significant changes in both groups( Z=-0.742 and -1.891, both P>0.05). Postpartum ALT flare was observed in 21 of the 66 patients, 9 cases (25.71%, 9/35) in group A, and 12 cases (38.71%, 12/31) in group B ( χ2=1.280, P>0.05); and there was no significant difference in the severity of postpartum ALT flare between the two groups ( χ2=0.527, P>0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that increased ALT level during pregnancy was an independent risk factor of postpartum ALT flare ( OR=13.75, 95% CI 1.49-126.85, P<0.05). Conclusions:When TDF was used for preventing mother-to-child HBV transmission, withdrawal at different times after delivery had no effect on postpartum liver function. ALT flare during pregnancy is a risk factor for postpartum ALT flare, so TDF should be discontinued carefully and liver function should be closely monitored postpartum for such patients.
