Objective To explore the surgical treatment of posttraumatic epilepsy in functional cerebral area Methods After preoperative evaluation,nineteen patients with intractable posttraumatic epilepsy of functional cerebral area underwent multiple subpial transaction under the electrocorticogram monitoring during the operation, combining with anterior corpus callosotomy, anterior temporal lobectomy and selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy. Results The follow-up results showed seizures of these patients improved considerably. According to Engel' s grading,among 19 cases,10 cases were grade Ⅰ ,7 cases were grade Ⅱ ,2 cases were grade Ⅲ ,and no cases were grade Ⅳ. Conclusions The satisfactory clinical outcome of the surgical treatment of intractable posttraumatic epilepsy in functional cerebral area could be obtained with the help of careful preoperative evaluation and multiple subpial transaction under the electrocorticogram monitoring.

Objective:To modify Ganodermalucidum polysaccharides(GLP) with sulfate and observe the protective effect of Ganodermalucidum polysaccharide sulfate (GLPS) on the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in the rats,and to investigate its mechanism.Methods:GLP was modified by sulfation to obtain GLPS.A total of 100 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, GLP group (40 mg·kg-1·d-1), GLPS group (40 mg·kg-1·d-1) and nimodipine group (1 mg·kg-1·d-1).The cerebral ischemia reperfusion models were established by middle cerebral artery occlusion method in the rats.The neurologic deficit score and the content of water in brain tissue of the rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury were detected and the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected.The levels of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB),tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the brain tissue homogenate were detected by ELISA.Western blotting method was used to detect the protein expression levels of HSP70 and p-Akt in the brain tissue of the rats.Results:Compared with model group, the neurological function scores of the rats in GLP group and GLPS group were decreased(P<0.01),the water contents in brain tissue were decreased(P<0.05), the SOD activities were increased and the MDA levels were decreased(P<0.05), and the levels of NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 were decreased(P<0.05);the effect in GLPS group was significantly better than that in GLP group(P<0.05).The results of Western blotting method showed that the p-Akt protein expression levels in the brain tissue of the rats in GLP and GLPS groups were increased compared with model group (P<0.05);compared with model group, the HSP-70 protein expression level in the brain tissue of the rats in GLPS group was increased(P<0.01),but the effect in GLP group was not obvious.Conclusion:Sulfation can significantly improve the protective effect of GLP on the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in the rats and its mechanism may be related to regulating the HSP70/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and inhibiting the inflammatory reaction damage to the nerve cells of reperfusion.

AIM:To explore the effect of peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (Pin1) inhibitor juglone on apop-tosis of human cervical cancer SiHa cells.METHODS:Cultured SiHa cells were incubated with juglone at concentrations of 10, 20, 50, 80 and 100 μmol/L for 24 h.The SiHa cell activity was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT) assay.The cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with Hoechst 33258 staining.The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3,8,9 and PTEN was determined by Western blotting.RESULTS:In different doses of juglone groups, the SiHa cell growth was greatly inhibited ( P<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner as compared with control group.The IC50 of ju-glone was 20.4 μmol/L.After treatment with juglone at concentration of 20 μmol/L for 12 h, the apoptosis of SiHa cells was induced, and the typical morphological changes of cell apoptosis such as karyopyknotic pyknic hyperfluorescence bolus, nuclear fragmentation and apoptotic body were observed by Hoechst 33258 staining.The early apoptotic rate was increased significantly as compared with the control.The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, 8, 9 and PTEN were also increased sig-nificantly as compared with control group.CONCLUSION:Juglone significantly inhibits the cell activity and induces the apoptosis of SiHa cells in vitro by inhibiting the caspase pathway and increasing the expression of anti-oncogene.

This paper reported a rare case of hypercalcemic crisis caused by a parathyroid adenoma with hemorrhage and cystic degeneration. Preoperative imaging examination of the patient was unable to determine the histological origin of the cervical cystic lesion. Despite aggressive medical treatment and hemodialysis, hypercalcemic crisis could not be relieved. Therefore, surgical exploration and excision of the cervical lesion were performed, and final diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma with hemorrhage and cystic degeneration was confirmed by pathology. Blood calcium level and renal function returned to normal after the surgery.

Ojective To explore the effect of the hydroxyapatite(HAp)and gelatin(Gel)coating on the healing of the polyethylene terephthalate(PET)artificial ligament.Methods The artificial ligaments were divided into a PET group with a pure PET surface and a PET/HAp/Gel group coated with HAp and Gel.Both coatings were observed using the scanning electron microscope(SEM).Forty-eight male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two groups and underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,before two kinds of artificial ligaments were implanted respectively.Four weeks and 8 weeks after the operation,the rabbits were sacrificed,and histological hematoxylin and eosin (HE)staining as well as the biomechanical examination were performed.Results HAp/Gel coating was found depositing on the surface of PET artificial ligaments.Histological HE staining showed a thick fibrous connective tissue forming at the graft-host bone interface 4 weeks postoperatively,and the interface width of both groups were narrowed,with significantly more shrinking in the PET/HAp/Gel coating group.And new bone tissues were found in the interface of PET/HAp/Gel group 8 weeks after the operation.The biomechanical examination found significant differences in the failure load between the PET(46.16 ± 2.88 N) and PET/HAp/Gel group(71.32 ± 3.92 N)8 weeks after the surgery(P=0.0021).And 4 weeks and 8 weeks after the surgery,significant differences were found in the stiffness between the PET group and the PET/HAp/Gel group(11.06 ± 1.14 N/mm vs 16.20 ± 1.17 N/mm,P=0.0199;14.37 ± 0.88 N/mm vs 24.35 ± 1.35 N/mm,P=0.0008).Conclusion HAp/Gel coating can enhance the osteogenesis of PET artificial ligaments,promoting the new bone formation at the graft-host bone interface and herein strengthening the graft-host bone healing.
