Objective To survey gene expression profiles in nonlesional refractory temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE)and to further verify the difference of gene expression.thus to evaluate the possible molecular pathogenesis of this kind of epilepsy that can help to supply a new way for the diagnosis and treatment.Methods The TLE samples and control cases were studied by means of cDNA microarray consisting of 1 8 000 genes.Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)Was performed to measure the expression alterations of SH3GL2.BTNN2A2 and KCNJ4 mRNA in temporal cortex samples from patients who had undergone temporal lobectomy surgery for intractable epilepsy.Tissue from 10 subjects who did not have epilepsy served as controls.Results The known genes differently expressed in those TLE samples involved immunity correlation factor genes,signal conduction genes,ion channel transportation genes;mitochondria function genes and SO on were identified.Among which.the expression of SH3GL2 mRNA Was significantly increased in epileptic brain(1.022±0.547)compared with the controls(0.446±0.171,t=-3.181).In TLE group(0.481±0.196),the expression of BTN2A2 mRNA was also significantly higher than that of control subjects(0.243±0.111,t=3.351).Compared with control group(O.795±0.112),the expression of KCNJ4 mRNA Was significantly decreased in TLE patients(0.438±0.178).Conclusions cDNA microarray is an efficient and high.throughout method to survey gene expression profiles in intractable temporal lobe epilepsy.The variation of those gene expressions might be a potential etiological agent for TLE that may offer a novel target for anticonvulsant therapy.

Objective To evaluate the role of CT in the diagnosis of the primary carcinoma of the duodenum.Methods CT findings of 15 patients with primary carcinoma of the duodenum(12 adenocarcinoma,3 carcinoid)underwent surgical treatment or biopsy were reviewed.Results 9/12 of adenocarcinomas were shown as local soft tissues masses;6/12 of adenocarcinomas manifested as ductal wall irregular or circular thickening;3/12 of adenocarcinomas were shown as local soft tissues masses accompanied with deformation and constriction of duodenum.Cholangiectasis,metastasis of retroperitoneal lymph nodes and liver were also founded.CT cannot difference adenocarcinoma with carcinoid.After enhancement,the masses were manifested as mild or intermediate enhancement in the early stage and they did not show obviously enhancement in the delay or portal stage.Conclusion CT play an important role in both the localization and qualitative diagnosis of the primary carcinoma of duodenum,but it is difficult to difference adenocarcinoma with carcinoid.

Objective To explore how to reasonably deploy the wounded and sick region on the medical evacuation ship.Methods Three models of the wounded and sick region were set up according to different demand.Simulated exercises were imitated and medical staff and experts selected reasonable models.Results Most medical staff and experts selected the model which deployed the wounded and sick region according to whether the condition of an injury should be treated.Conclusion It is scientific and reasonable that the wounded and sick region is deployed according to whether the condition of an injury should be treated.

Objective To observe the effect of microprismatic needle scalpel(MPNS) on headache induced by compression of greater occipital nerve or lesser occipital nerve.Methods 95 patients with headache induced by compression of occipital nerve were divided into the treatment group (50 cases, treated with MPNS) and control group (45 cases, treated with carbamazepine).Results In the treatment group, 42 cases were cured, 6 cases were effective, 2 cases were ineffective; while, those in the control group were 16 cases, 21 cases and 8 cases respectively. There was a significant difference between two groups ( P<0.01).Conclusion MPNS has an obvious effect on headache induced by compression of occipital nerves.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of porcelain fused for metal crown restoration after root canal therapy.Methods Totally 90 patients with pulpitis or periapical periodontitis from December 2013 to December 2015 had their clinical data analyzed,who underwent root canal therapy and were divided equally into an observation group and a control group.The observation group took porcelain endocrowns repair and the control group applied ceramic crown.The two groups were compared on the restoration integrity,edge sealing,residual rate,gum,food impaction and color 3 months,6 months and 1 a after treatment.Results The observation group behaved significantly better than the control group in the edge sealing and restoration integrity (P<0.05).There were significant differences between the residual rates,gum and food impaction in the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Porcelain endocrowns repair gains advantages over ceramic crown repair in edge sealing,integrity,gum,food impaction and color after root canal therapy,though its long-term effect needs further investigation.

The present study aims to investigate the kinetic histocytochemical changes of acupoints in different condition. The expression of tryptase (+) mast cells, histamine (HA) , serotonin (5-HT) and nociceptive neuropeptides including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) were observed by immunohistochemistry combined with confocal technology. Mast cells were labeled with anti-mast cell tryptase antibody and simultaneously with HA or 5-HT primary antibodies to observe their co-expression. The results showed that: (1) SP and CGRP were expressed more highly on the cutaneous nerve fibers of "Hegu" (LI 4) after acupuncture stimulation than that of the control. Mast cells aggregated in close proximity to the blood vessels in intra-epidermis and dermis, and some of them with degranulation in the lower dermis and subcutaneous tissue of "Hegu" (LI 4). Both mast cells and their granules appeared with HA (+) and 5-HT (+) expression at stimulated LI 4 sites, while a few intact mast cells with a little expression of 5-HT and HA were distributed in areas of non-stimulated Ll 4. (2) The acupoints in different locations such as Baihui (GV 20), Weishu (BL 21), Zhongwan (CV 12) and LI 4 had the same constituent but the contents were different. (3) The histocytochemical responses of acupoints sensitized by the Gastric mucosa injury (GMI) were also investigated. GMI resulted in neurogenic plasma extravasation by Evans Blue (EB) in the skin of the acupoints over the back and abdomen, which mostly occurred in the T9-T11 dermatomere. The EB extravasation dots just like acupoints sensitization appeared after GMI and disappeared gradually during the natural self-recovery of the gastric mucosa. More SP and CGRP positive nerve fibers were distributed in EB dots than in regions beside EB dots and in the control, mostly distributed in the nerve fibers around both the vessels and root of hair follicle. Mast cells also aggregated and degranulated to release algogenic substances of 5-HT and HA around the vessels in areas of the EB dots. Collectively the acupoints displayed the same histocytochemical responses due to either acupuncture stimulation or GMI. This may potentially be the histocytochemical basis in the local acupoints and acupoints displayed kinetic changes in different condition.
