Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of oxcarbazepine combined with levetirac-etam on children with epilepsy. Methods According to different treatments, 62 cases of children with epilepsy were divided into the OXC group (treated with oxcarbazepine, 40 cases) and the OXC combined with LEV group (treated with oxcarbazepine and levetiracetam, 20 cases). Then the therapeutic efficacy, EEG changes and ad-verse reactions of patients in the two groups were studied. Results The total efficacy was 87.5% in the OXC group, and was 95.5% of the OXC combined with LEV group, with no significant difference. EEG improvement rate was 52.5% in the OXC group and 81.8% in the OXC combined with LEV group , with significant difference (P < 0.05). The rate of adverse reactions in the OXC combined with LEV group was lower than that in the OXC group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Both levetiracetam and oxcarbazepine has good curative effect on children with epilepsy , but combination with levetiracetam can significantly decrease the epileptic discharges on EEG , with higher security.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of the chosen incision on corneal astigmatism after implantable collamer lens ( ICL) surgery.
METHODS:The study included 195 eyes of 102 patients, and all eyes were randomly divided into two groups: the chosen incision group ( Group A, 97 eyes) and temporal corneal incision ( Group B, 98 eyes ) . Before the operation, and 1wk, 1mo and 3mo after the operation, each patient was examined with corneal topography to observe the changes of corneal astigmatism.
RESULTS: Preoperative corneal astigmatisms were (1-26±0. 35) D in group A and (1. 28±0. 38) D in group B, thus there was no statistically significant difference ( P>0-05). One week postoperatively, the astigmatism were (0.93±0.29)D in group A and (1.32±0.33)D in group B. One month postoperatively, the astigmatism were (0. 85±0.16)D in group A and (1.27±0.18)D in group B. Three months postoperatively, the astigmatism were ( 0. 80±0-13)D in group A and (1. 25±0. 20) D in group B. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0. 01).
CONCLUSION: The chosen incision can reduce postoperative astigmatism to a certain extent after ICL surgery.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of one carbapenems resistant Raoultella planticola( R.planticola) isolate.Methods This is an experimental study.R.planticola was isolated from a patient′s drainage fluid from orthopedic department in November 2010 in Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital.Minimum inhibitory concentration of R.planticola to 13 antibiotics was determined by using the agar dilution method.Modified Hodge test was used to detect carbapenemase .EDTA synergistic test was performed to research metallo-beta-lactamase.The genes coded the β-lactamase were amplified by polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) , including class A carbapenemase ( KPC ) , class B carbapenemases (NDM, IMP, VIM, SIM), extended spectrum beta-lactamases[ESBL(CTX, TEM, SHV)], and AmpCβ-lactamases ( FOX, EBC, ACC, DHA, CIT, MOX).Results The susceptibility test showed that R.planticola was resistant to 9 antibiotics.MIC value of meropenem for R.planticola was up to 32 mg/L.R.planticola kept intermediary to imipenem , whereas it was susceptible to cefepime , amikacin and polymyxin B.Modified Hodge test and EDTA synergistic test were positive in R.planticola.Class B carbapenemase (IMP) gene and two extended spectrum β-lactamases(CTX, SHV) genes were positive by PCR.The genes were conformed as IMP-4, CTX-M3 and SHV-12 by sequencing and compared with GenBank.Other resistant genes were negative.Conclusion IMP-4 was identified in R.planticola, the combined produce IMP-4 and ESBLs might be the main mechanism of R.planticola resistant to carbapenems.

To study the effects of ouabain on the inner ear glial cells, and to lay the foundation for the study of stem cell transplantation in the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss.Methods Sixty adult female SPF grade CBA / J mice were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 30 mice in each group.Animals in the experimental group received 3mM ouabain via the round window membrane, while mice in control group received normal saline.The mice were sacrificed at 7 days, 14 days and 30 days after the administration,respectively.Immunofluorescence histochemical staining was used to detect the inner ear glial cells in spiral ganglion.Results Some inner ear glial cells survived in the spiral ganglion of the experimental group, while with decreased numbers and disorganized structure compared to those of in the control group.Comparing to those of in the control group, the number and density of inner ear glial cells in the experimental group were significantly decreased from 7 days afterouabain administration,further decreased at 14 days and reduced to the lowest at 30 days after ouabain administration, the differences between the 2 groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Among the experimental group, the number of inner ear glial cells at 30 days was significantly decreased when compared to those of at 7 days and 14 days, respectively.Conclusion Application of ouabain to mouse inner ear via the round window membrane leads to an acute and progressive direct damage to the inner ear glial cells in the spiral ganglion.
