Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of levetiracetam tablet and carbamazepine tablet in the treatment of children's intractable epilepsy.Methods A total of 96 children with intractable epilepsy were randomly divided into control group and treatment group with 48 cases per group.Control group was given carbamazepine 4-8 mg · kg-1 · d-1,tid,oral.Treatment group was given levetiracetam 4 mg · kg-1,bid,the maximum dose was 16 mg · kg-1 at the speed as 4 mg · kg-1 with every 2 weeks.Two groups were treated for 8 months.The clinical efficacy,neurocognitive function test [verbal intelligence quotient(VIQ),performance intelligence quotient (PIQ),total intelligence quotient(TIQ) and short-term visual memory],and adverse drug reactions were compared between two groups.Results After treatment,the total effective rates in treatment and control groups were 87.50% (42 cases/48 cases) and 79.17% (38 cases/48 cases) with significant difference (P < 0.05).After treatment,the main indexes in treatment and control groups were compared:VIQ were (106.97 ± 5.65) and (95.25 ± 3.28) points,PIQ were (116.45 ± 5.16) and (103.61 ± 2.74) points,TIQ were(119.92 ± 4.69) and(95.20 ± 3.24) points,short-term visual memory were (18.45 ± 2.17) and (13.84 ± 1.81) s,the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05).The adverse drug reactions of two groups were based on emotional,drowsiness,palpitations and dizziness,also,the incidences of adverse drug reactions in treatment and control groups were 12.50% and 16.67% without significant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion Levetiracetam tablet has a definitive clinical efficacy in the treatment of children's intractable epilepsy,which is better than carbamazepine tablet.Levetiracetam tablet can improve the cognitive ability for children's intractable epilepsy,without increasing the incidence of adverse drug reactions.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the distribution of HPV subtypes in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, and to explore the application evaluation of multiple PCR capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis for HPV typing test. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 434 women (age range 17 to 74 years old, 260 patients and 174 physical examinations) included from May to August 2022 in Hebei General Hospital. HPV typing was detected by multiple PCR-capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis. Using the multiple fluorescence quantitative PCR kit as a reference, Chi-square test was used to analyze the diagnostic effect of multiple PCR-capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis, and the consistency was analyzed by Kappa value. Results: The total HPV infection rate was 45.85%(199/434), including 35.48% (154/434) of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV), 3.92% (17/434) of low-risk HPV (LR-HPV), 6.45% (28/434) of HR-HPV and LR-HPV mixed infection, 27.88% (121/434) of single type HPV and 17.97% (78/434) of multi type HPV. HPV52 (9.68%, 42/434), HPV16 (6.91%, 30/434), and HPV58 (6.91%, 30/434) are common HPV subtypes. The positive rate of physical examination was 45.40% (79/174), which was slightly lower than that of patients 46.15% (120/260), there was no significant difference (χ2=0.024,P>0.05). The highest infection rate in the 17-30 age group was 54.76% (46/84), and there was no statistical difference among the age groups(χ2=4.123,P>0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of multiplex PCR capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis were 92.96% and 94.04%, respectively, and Kappa value was 0.870, with the multiplex fluorescent quantitative PCR as the reference. Conclusion: HPV infection may appear younger, and the positive rate of HR-HPV infection is the highest, with HPV52, 16, 58 as the main infection subtypes. The detection results of multiplex PCR capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis method are highly consistent with those of multiplex fluorescent quantitative PCR method, which is suitable for HPV DNA typing.
