ObjectiveTo investigate the safety, efficacy and therapeutic mechanism of focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) on focal epilepsy of brain functional area in cat. MethodsThe focal epileptic models in the cats' motor cortex by penicillin were established. The different techniques were apphed in the animals epilepsy model. FUS, cortex thermocoagulation and multiple subpial transaction (MST) were compared in seizure control and functional preservation by observing behavior and electroencephalogram ( EEG), and the therapentic mechanism was compared by analysis of histopathology in the damaged cortex. ResultsIn seizure control and EEG changes, three kinds of techniques were similar without prominent difference in statistics (P > 0.05). The same pathologic changes were showed in FUS group and cortex thermocoagulation group, ischemic change and coagulative necrosis of superficial layer nerval cells.The major pathologic change in MST group was an irregular crevice which was vertical with the surface of the cortex. The edema and mild gliosis were found around the crevice. ConclusionsThe focused ultrasound can effectively destroy and cut off the association of cortical horizontal fibre, meanwhile, the cortical function still to be reserved.Therefore, FUS is safe and effective as well as MST and cortex thermocoagulation on focal epilepsy in brain functional area.

Objective To evaluate the role of interventional therapy in Wilm's tumor, renal vascular lesions and ureter stricture in children. Methods Thirty-eight cases were analysed, including 18 cases of Wilm's tumor treated with preprocedural chemotherapy and embolization through renal artery, and 13 cases of unknown-reason hypertension with selective renal arterial angiography for venous blood renin including undergone some patients PTA. Six cases of ureter stricture were dilated with balloon and 1 with hematurea by small aerial embolization. Results After embolization, Wilm's tumors showed reduction in vascularization and reduction in size too. The surrounding tissue of the tumor had a clear demarcation with the normal tissue, decreasing the dissemination to blood and distal metastasis. Renal vascular hypertension was clearly diagnosed and treated, and the increase of renin was helpful to the diagnosis of unknown-reason hypertension. And the obstruction of ureter was improved. Conclusions Interventional therapy is feasible in the application of urinary system diseases with great significance clinically.
