Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(8):721-723
Objective To investigate the influence factors of cognitive impairment in epilepsy children with less than 6 years old. Methods Eighty-nine epilepsy children with less than 6 years old were selected. The neuropsychological detection was tested by Gesell developmental diagnostic scale (GDDS), and head imaging examination (CT or MRI) and ambulatory electroencephalogram (EGG) were checked. Results The scores of adaptive behavior, big sports behavior, fine motor behavior, language behavior and personal- social behavior were (82.98 ± 14.02), (85.86 ± 13.79), (83.14 ± 13.44), (84.75 ± 3.29) and (84.99 ± 14.37) scores, the average development quotient of the children with epilepsy were greater than 75 scores, and there were no statistical differences among them (P > 0.05). According to the test results of adaptive behavior, big sports behavior, fine motor behavior, language behavior and personal-social behavior, the rates of developmental delay children were 21.35% (19/89), 19.10% (17/89), 16.85% (15/89), 24.72% (22/89) and 22.47% (20/89), and the rates of moderate to severe developmental delay were 3.37% (3/89), 3.37% (3/89), 4.49% (4/89), 3.37% (3/89) and 3.37%(3/89). Multivariate analysis results showed that first onset age of epilepsy and head imaging performance were correlated with adaptive behavior, big sports behavior, fine motor behavior and personal-social behavior (P < 0.05). Conclusions The first onset age of epilepsy and head imaging performances are the major factors in cognitive performance in epilepsy children with less than 6 years old, so clinical attention should be paid to improve the prognosis of cognitive outcome of epilepsy children, and improve their life quality.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of stroke volume variation (SVV) in monitoring blood volume during one-lung ventilation in patients undergoing thoracoscopy operation. Methods Twenty-two ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients ( 12 male, 10 female) aged 18-60 yr undergoing thoracoscopy operation under general anesthesia were studied. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, sufentanil, propofol and rocuronium and maintained with TCI of propofol and remifentanil and intermittent iv boluses of vecoronium. Robertshow double-lumen endobronchial tube was inserted. Correct position of the tube was verified by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The patients were mechani40 mm Hg. Radial artery was cannulated and connected to FloTrac pressure transducer and Vigileo monitor. A loading dose of 6% HES 5 ml/kg was infused over 10 min. MAP, HR, CO and SVV were recorded before and at 3 min after loading dose. The change rate of SVV (SVV) and CI (△CI) were calculated. Increase in CI by 11% was considered effective volume expansion. The ROC curve for SVV in determining the volume expansion efficacy was plotted. The area under the curve for SVV and 95% confidence interval were calculated. Results (1) CO were significantly increased while SVV decreased after a loading dose of HES. (2) During two-lung ventilation 12 patients responded to the 6% HES loading dose.SVV correlated with△CI ( - 0.710, P < 0.05). The volume expansion efficacy was determined by SVV 11.5 % (sensitivity = 82 %, specificity = 92 % ). The area under the curve for SVV and 95% confidance interval were 0.880 (0.580-0.987). (3) During one-lung ventilation 11 patients responded to the 6 % HES loading dose. SVV correlated with CI ( - 0.668 , P < 0.05). The volume expansion efficacy was determined by SVV 9.5 % ( sensitivity = 77 %, specificity = 63 % ). The area under the curve for SVV and 95% confidance interval were 0.971 (0.917-1.024). Conclusion One-lung ventilation does not alter the ability of SVV in monitoring blood volume in patients undergoing thoracoscopy operation.
