Status epilepticus (SE) is one of the common medical emergencies of the pediatric age group.It may lead to serious and even irreversible neurological abnormalities,even death,if not diagnosis and treatment properly.To recognise etiology,rise factors,seizure type,treatment,outcome and the correlation between each other of children with status epilepticus are significant for management.This paper aimed to review recent epidemiological studies on children with status epilepticus,in order to provide evidences for the current clinical practice and further research.

3-phosphoinositide dependent kinase-1 (PDK1) has been shown to be a critical regulator of the PI3K-Akt pathway.PDK1 can activate Akt and participates in the activation of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway to promote tumor development,invasion and metastasis.At present,it has been found that PDK1 is highly expressed in head and neck cancer,multiple myeloma,pancreatic cancer,esophageal cancer,colon cancer and other malignant tumors.Thereby inhibiting PDK1 overexpression may provide a new breakthrough for the treatment of malignant tumor.At present,many kinds of PDK1 inhibitors have been put into production,which plays an important role in tumor therapy.

ObjectivesTo investigate the effect of thyroid hormone on the expression of deiodinase and myelin basic protein in brain tissue of neonatal rats with germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH), and its nerve protective effect.Methods Sixty premature rabbits of gestational age 29 days were randomly divided into control, model and intervention groups. The prema-ture rabbits in model and intervention groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 50% glycerol to establish GM-IVH animal model and the premature rabbits in control group were given the same dose of saline. The GM-IVH was screened by cranial ultrasound. The premature rabbits with GM-IVH in intervention group were given intraperitoneal injection of triiodothyronine and the other two groups were given the same dose of saline. At 3 days, 7 days and 14 days after birth, the premature rabbits were killed and the brain tissue were quickly separated. The expression of type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (D2) and type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase (D3) of periventricular zone tissue were detected by western blot method. The expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) were detected by immunohistochem-ical method.ResultsThe expression of D2 in brain tissue increased gradually in three groups. At the same time point, the expression of D2 was the lowest in the model group, the highest in the control group, and the middle in the intervention group. The differences of D2 among three groups were statistically signiifcant (allP<0.001). The expression of D3 increased gradually in the control and model groups, while it was the highest in the intervention group at day 7. At the same time point, the expression of D3 in the control group was the lowest, it was higher in intervention group than that in the model group at 3 days, then it was higher in the model group than that in the intervention group. The differences of D3 among three groups were statistically signiifcant (allP<0.001). The expression of MBP increased gradually in the control and intervention groups, and it decreased gradually in the model group. At the same time point, the MBP was the lowest in the model group, it was the highest in the control group, and it was the middle in the intervention group. The differences of MBP among three groups were statistically signiifcant (P<0.001).ConclusionsThe expressions of D2 and MBP in the brain tissues of premature rabbit with the GM-IVH increased while the expression of D3 decreased in some extent after thyroxine intervention.

English translation of three-character pathogenesis TCM terms was investigated in this paper from the perspective of accuracy and systematization,two main principles of terminology translation. The terms were classified into five categories according to the three-character syntactic structure, i.e. attributive-modifier structure, adverbial-modifier structure, subject-predicate structure, subject-predicate-object structure and verb-object structure. Further study was conducted to investigate the English translation of attributive-modifier structure terms by comparing four prominent national and international standards of TCM terminologies.

Objective To study the correlation of personality characteristics and plasma cortisol levels in the patients with generalized anxiety disorder.Methods According to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-Ⅳ), 38 patients with generalized anxiety disorder and 39 normal controls were assessed with Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) , generalized anxiety disorder scale (GAD-7) , penn state worry questionnaire (PSWQ) , symptom checklist-90(SCL-90) and eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ).Electrochemiluminescence was used to test plasma cortisol concentration.Results The EPQ-N score in the patients was significantly higher than that in normal controls(t=14.307, P＜0.01).Furthermore,N score in the patients showed a significantly positive correlation with HAMA total score, SCL-90 total score, somatization score, interpersonal sensitivity score, depression score and anxiety score (r=0.492-0.977, P＜0.01).Plasma cortisol levels in patients with generalized anxiety disorder((668.50±60.22) nmol/L) were significantly higher than those ((345.35±58.91) nmol/L) in normal controls (t=23.802, P＜0.01).Plasma cortisol concentrations displayed a significantly positive correlation with N score, GAD-7, PSWQ, HAMA total score, SCL-90 total score, somatization score, interpersonal sensitivity score, depression score, and anxiety score (r =0.501-0.995, P＜ 0.01).Conclusion Plasma cortisol levels in the patients with generalized anxiety disorder are higher than those in normal controls.Plasma cortisol levels are related to the mental health.Patients with generalized anxiety disorder tend to be neuroticism.

Objective: To study the biological characteristics of tumor cells infected with recombinant adenovirus expressing hTNF-?, investigate the antitumor effect of recombinant adenovirus. Methods: Human lung adenocarcinoma cell line Anip973 was infected with recombinant adenovirus expressing hTNF-?. Cell growth assay, colone formation test, flowcytometry assay and morphology were used to observe the effects on tumor cells. The hTNF-a gene, which was transduced into cancer cells mediated by recombinant adenovirus, was detected by PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis and its products were detected by ELISA assay. The intratumoral injection of rAd-LacZ and rAd-hTNF-? was carried out to evaluate their antitumor effects. Results: The liter of rAd reached 1010 PFU/ml and more than 90% Anip973 cells could be infected by 30MOI rAd. Except the surface structure and ultrastructure of tumor cells infected with rAd had a light change, cell growth abillity assay, colone formation test, flow cytometry assay showed no significant difference compared with that of the control cells. The TNF-? gene expression at 24 h increased greatly. Antitumor study indicated that on the tumor-bearing mice treated with rAd the tumor grew slowly. Tumor volume was significantly smaller and survive time was prolonged than that of controls. Conclusion: There was no significantly changes occurred on tumoral cells after infected with recombinant adenovirus expressing hTNF-?. The intratumoral injection of rAd-LacZ and rAd-hTNF-? could inhibit the growth of solid tumor.

Objective To investigate the accuracy of serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE)predicting malignant middle cerebral artery infarction(mMCAI).Methods A total of 40 patients with acute massive cerebral infarction within 24 hours after symptom onset were recruited.Blood samples were collected at 24,36 and 48 hours after symptom onset.Serum NSE concentration was determined by automatic electrochemiluminescence analyzer.mMCAI was defined as hernia signs in clinical practice,and CT/ MRI showed mass effect.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the accuracy of serum NSE concentration in predicting mMCAI at 3 time points.Results Sixteen patients(40%)developed mMCAI.The serum NSE concentration for predicting the accuracy of mMCAI was poor at 24 hours after symptom onset;the serum NSE concentration for predicting the specificity of mMCAI was high (96%)at 36 hours after symptom onset,but the sensitivity was lower(69%);the serum NSE concentration for predicting the specificity(92%)and sensitivity(88%)of mMCAI were high at 48 hours.Conclusions The serum NSE conoentration and its dynamic changes may predict the occurrence of mMCAI,and the predicting time points are appropriate from 36-48 hours after symptom onset.

Objective To investigate the possibility and accuracy of predicting malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (mMCAI) with bedside electroencephalography (EEG). Methods Thirty-five patients with massive hemispheric infarction (MHI) underwent bedside EEG monitoring within 48 h of onset. The EEG indicators were interpreted blindly, and the clinical, laboratory and imaging parameters were analyzed. The patients were divided into mMCAI group and non-mMCAI group according to whether they had occurred mMCAI or not within 7 days of onset. The differences of EEG indicators, clinical, laboratory and imaging parameters between the 2 groups were compared. When the parameters of significant difference and statistical significance appeared the odds ratio (OR) of occurring mMCAI were analyzed, and their accuracy of predicting mMCAI was calculated. Results Of the 35 patients with MHI, 20 were in the mMCAI group and 15 were in the non-mMCAI group. There were significant differences in the EEG indicators (infarction on the contralateral side, including disintegration of occipital α rhythm, generalized slow-wave, dominant frequency wave low amplitude, regional attenuation without delta [RAWOD]pattern, and absence of EEG reactivity), clinical parameters (nausea accompanied with vomiting), and imaging parameters (the infracted area more than the entire MCA territory, and midline shifting 3 to 5 mm at the level of septum pellucidum) between the 2 groups (P < 0. 05). Of those, the risk of mMCAI was the highest in patients with disintegration of occipital a rhythm on the contralateral side of infarction (P = 22. 67, 95% CI 3. 89-132. 10). The sensitivity of predicting mMCAI was 85. 0%, the specificity was 80.0%, the positive predictive value was 85.0%, and the negative predictive value was 80. 0%, which were superior to other EEG indicators and clinical or imaging parameters. Conclusions Bedside EEG indicators can early predict mMCAI, moreover, the predictive accuracy is superior to the clinical and imaging parameters.
