Objective To investigate the risk factors which affect complex febrile seizures developing into epilepsy. Methods Retrospective analysis of 162 complex febrile seizure cases was carried out. Results Fifteen out of 35 children who had familial history of epilepsy developed into epilepsy. Twenty out of 55 cases who had neurological abnormalities developed into epilepsy. Nineteen out of 37 cases of who the length between fever and febrile seizure was less than 1 h developed into epilepsy, but only 13 in 125 patients developed into epilepsy when the interval between fever and seizure was more than 1 h. Conclusion The predictive risk factors for complex febrile seizures developing into epilepsies are familial history of epilepsy, abnormal neurological development, and short intervals between fever and febrile seizure activities.

Objective To explore the influence of Clostridium butyricum on the expression of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and tight junction protein claudin-2 in intestinal tissue in newborn rat with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Methods Forty-eight-hour-old Sprague-Dewley (SD) rats were randomly divided into model group, control group, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group, 12 rats each. Rats in each group were fed with milk substitute. The NEC model were created by hypoxia and cold stimulation for 3 consecutive days in model group, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group. Meanwhile, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group were intervened by being fed with Clostridium butyricum 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 g/(kg·d), respectively. All rats in each group were sacriifced on day 4 and the intestines tissue was obtained. The pathological changes had been observed. The expression of VEGF, PCNA, and claudin-2 were detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of VEGFR-2 was detected by RT-PCR. Results The intestines pathological scores was signiifcantly different among ifve groups (P0 . 05 ) with the scores being higher in model group than in low-dose group, mid-dose group, high-dose, group and control group, and being higher in all intervention groups than in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expressions of VEGF, VEGFR-2 , and claudin-2 in model group were higher than those in all intervention groups and control group with them being higher in all intervention group than in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expression of PCNA in model group was lower than those in all intervention groups and control group with it being lower in all intervention groups than that in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expression of VEGF, VEGF-2 , PCNA, and claudin-2 were no different among intervention groups (P all?>?0 . 05 ). Conclusion The expression of VEGF, VEGF-2 , and claudin-2 were higher in rats with NEC, while the expression of PCNA was lower. Supplementation of Clostridium butyricum may protect newborn rats by its act on these factors.

Objective To explore the neuropsychological development in twin premature infants,and to analyze the risk factors for the retardation of development.Methods The premature infants hospitalized in the Neonatal Ward First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from Jun.2010 to Jun.2012 were divided into study groups of twin premature infants and a control group of singleton premature infants.The neuropsychological development of 88 premature infants was evaluated at corrected gestational age of 1 year old by Bayley scales of infant development.According to normal lab findings of the Bayley scales of infant development,the premature infants were then divided into abnormal neuropsychological development group [mental development index(MDI) ≤79 scores] and normal neuropsychological development group (MDI > 79 scores),and the data of 2 groups were statistically analyzed.Results The frequency distribution of MDI score in study group showed a skewed distribution,of which 59% (27/46 cases) had abnormal neuropsychological development (MDI ≤ 79 scores); However,the frequency distribution of MDI score in control group showed an approximate normal distribution,of which only 12% (5/42 cases) for abnormal neuropsychological development.Head circumference,body length,body weight,MDI,psycho-motor development index of twin premature infants of one-year old were lower than those of the singleton premature infants of the same age,and the differences were statistically significant (all P <0.05).The single factor analysis demonstrated that the risk factors for abnormal neuropsychological development (MDI ≤ 79 scores) of twin premature infants were gestational age,birth weight,mother' s gcstational age,the cultural degree of parents,mode of feeding,neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,neonatal hypoglycemia and neonatal sepsis.Multiple regression analysis showed that neonatal hyperbilirubinemia was the independent risk factor for abnormal neuropsychological development of twin premature infants.Conclusions At same gestational age,neuropsychological development of twin premature infants lagged behind singleton premature infants.Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia may be the risk factors for neuropsychological development of twin premature infants,so the earlier management of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia may be beneficial for the neuropsychological development of twin premature infants.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Glutamine (Gln) on the expression of PCNA in intestinal tissue of neo-natal rats with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and to explore the protective mechanism of Gln in intestinal mucosa.Methods Forty-eight neonatal rats at the age of 48 hours were selected, and divided into 4 groups, control group, Gln group, NEC group, NECGln group. Each group had 12 rats. Control group were fed mice milk substitutes; Gln group were fed mice milk substitutes mixed with Gln; NEC group were fed mice milk substitutes and had cold/ hypoxia exposure twice a day for 3 days; NECGln group were exposed to cold stress, hypoxia and treated with Gln mixed in the milk. The expression of PCNA was detected using immunohistochemical method.Results Compared with control group were and Gln group, the general condition was worse, and the weight was decreased in NEC and NECGln group. The inifltrated inlfammatory cells, congestion, edema, intrinsic layer separation were observed in intestinal mucosa in NEC and NECGln group. The intestinal villus was lost in severe in NEC and NECGln group. The PCNA index was 34.17±5.78, 34.42±5.38, 15.00±1.94, 30.67±3.14 in control, Gln, NEC and NECGln group respectively, with signiifcant difference between each groups (H=24.32,P=0.000). The expression of PCNA in NEC group was lower than that in normal, Gln, and NECGln group (P<0.008). The expression of PCNA had no signiifcant difference among normal, Gln, and NECGln group (P>0.008).Conclusions The expression of PCNA in intestinal mucosa was decreased in NEC rats. Gln supplement could raise the expression of PCNA in intestinal mucosa of NEC rats, and accelerate the speed of intestinal mucosa repair.

Objective To investigate the usefulness of different-b-value diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in patients with early cerebral infarction and obtain the optimal b value of early cerebral infarction.Methods DWI at b-value of 1,000,2,000,and 3,000 s/mm2 was performed for 40 patients within 72 h after the onset of stroke using a GE Signa HDx 3.0T MRI scanner.Post-processing was done by the DWI specific software Function Tool to gain signal intensity and mean apparent diffusion coefficient in the lesions center and the contralateral normal brain tissue,respectively.The sensitivity of conventional MRI and different-b-value DWI was calculated in the diagnosis of early cerebral infarction.Results In 40 patients with early cerebral infarction,the sensitivity of b-values of 1,000,2,000,and 3,000 s/mm2 (DWIb=1 000,DWIb=2 000,DWIb=3 000) and conventional MRI in the diagnosis of early cerebral infarction were 100%,97.5%,97.5%,72.5%,respectively.With b value increased,signal intensity and ADC value declined.Under the condition of different b values,signal intensity and ADC value were statistically significant in region of interest (P<0.05).Conclusion DWI is superior to conventional MRI scan in monitoring early cerebral infarction.With the increase of b value,the sensitivity is the higher to hyperacute cerebral infarction,the signal contrast is obvious,while signal to noise ratio of the image reduces.It is suggested that brain tissue contrast and the sensitivity to the new cerebral infarction is more predictable on b value =1,000 DWI than on the other DWIs.
