Neurocognitive impairment frequently occurs in epilepsy patients,especially in children,which has been considered to interfere the development of mind and body and cause mental retardation.Now it has attracted wide attention from doctors home and abroad.The mechanisms are complicated,and may be influenced by several factors.Different locations of epileptiform focuses cause different cognitive impairment.This review aims to illustrate the major cognitive impairment in relation to the epileptogenic zone in brain,with a more detailed interest for temporal lobe epilepsy,frontal lobe epilepsy,occipital lobe epilepsy and parietal lobe epilepsy.

OBJECTIVE:To introduce how to use the automated drug dispensing machine to prepare drugs in single dose and to introduce our experience in the application of this machine. METHODS:The working principe, application context, and the functional advantage of the machine were introduced, and the problems encountered in the use of the machine was analyzed based on our experience, and the prospect of the machine was discussed. RESULTS: The machine enjoys the advantages of raising work efficiency, lowering dispensing error rate and bringing about convenience for patient to use, but it has its limitation in that it proposes higher requirement for software and hardware environment. CONCLUSION: The application of this automatic system will be more widespread with people’s increasing demand on medical care.

Objective To assess the safety and effectiveness of prenatal multiple and single course glucocorticoids treatment on preterm birth infants. Method Seven researches on the treatment of preterm birth infants with glucocorticids were meta analyzed. Results Multiple courses of glucocorticoids treatment before labor may lower the incidence of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) of preterm babies (OR=0.51,95% CI 0.49~0.54),and so did the respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), (OR=0.72,95% CI 0.49~1.07).But it may increase the septicemia of preterm infants (OR=1.62, 95%CI 1.07~2.44),and could not decrease the morbidity and mortality of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH)(OR=0.65, 95% CI 0.37~1.15)? necrosis enterocolonitis (NEC)(OR=1.30, 95% CI 0.79~2.12)and chronic lung disease (CLD)(OR=0.94,95%IC 0.59~1.49)? It cound not decrease the use of pulmonary surfactant after the birth of preterm infants. (OR=0.86,95% CI 0.48~1.55). Conclusions It suggests that multiple courses treatment with glucocorticoids is not safer and more effective than single course before labor.

Objective To explore the correlation of the apoptosis of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) with plasma 8-iso-prostaglandin F2? (8-iso-PGF2?) level in order to confirm the peroxidation damage of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates with jaundice.Me-thods One hundred and twenty-nine neonates who were 2 to 7 days old were divided into 4 groups:slight jaundice (43 cases),moderate jaundice (38 cases),serious jaundice (18 cases),and healthy control(30 cases)groups.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? levels were assayed by enzyme immunoassay(EIA),and the apoptosis rates of PBMC were determined by flow cytometry.Results 1.There was no significant difference in the apoptosis rate of PBMC between normal and slight jaundice neonates (P=0.108);apoptosis rate of PBMC was increasing with the aggravation of jaundice.2.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level in normal neonates was 14.74?6.71 ng/L,there was no difference between normal neonates and neonates with slight jaundice(P=0.502).Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? levels in neonates with moderate and serious jaundice were much higher(Pa=0).3.Positive correlation existed between plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level and PBMC apoptosis rate (r=0.602 P=0).Conclusions Hyperbilirubinemia can induce peroxidation damage,resulting in increase of PBMC apoptosis.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level can accurately eva-luate the peroxidation damage in neonates with jaundice.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of combined acupuncture and speech rehabilitation in treating postapoplectic aphasia. Methods: Sixty subjects were randomized into two groups. 30 cases in the treatment group were treated by both speech rehabilitation and acupuncture therapy, while 30 cases in the control group were treated by speech rehabilitation only. After 30-day treatments, the clinical efficacy was observed. Results: The total effective rate and speech score were higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Combined acupuncture and speech rehabilitation is quite effective for postapoplectic aphasia.

Objective To assess the clinical value of 18F -FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of primary, suspected recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer.Methods The results of 67 women who were suspected suffering from cervical cancer had undergone Color dopplar ultrasound,HPV,TCT,some of them do CT,MRI and SCC -Ag examination from April 2013 to April 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Their 18F -FDG PET/CT images with the other test results were compared.The presence or absence of tumor was confirmed by histopathology.Results In the 67 patients,22 cases were finally diagnosed as primary cervical tumors,and 22 cases of recurrent and metastatic cervical tumors.In all the patients with cervical cancer,18F -FDG PET/CT found a total of 41 cases,which had contributed to the diagnosis in 94.0%,But 3 cases had not been found.For the detection of primary cervical tumors, 18F -FDG PET/CT was diagnostically wrong in 4.2%,For the detection of recurrent and metastatic cervical tumors, 18F -FDG PET/CT was diagnostically wrong in 7.0%,and 2 cervical adenocarcinoma patients were not diagnosed by 18F -FDG PET/CT.Conclusion The study showed a significantly higher sensitivity of 18F -FDG PET/CT for the detection of primary,recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer than the other auxiliary examination.18F -FDG PET/CT for the diagnosis of cervical cancer can be worth popularization.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has become a leading cause of irreversible visual loss in senior population and a serious issue of public health as the aging of society worldwide,especially wet AMD.Wet AMD is characterized by choroidal neovascularization(CNV)with a rapidly developing process andsevere impairment of visual acuity.The effective therapy that can destroy choroidal neovascularization and improve visual acuity for very long time is lack.In the recent 20 years,more attentions focuse on the treatment of choroidal neovascularization.From bench to bedside,the research on targeted treatment of angiogenesis brings the bloom of wet AMD medical therapy.This paper will summarize the update information of wet AMD.

Treatment options of retinoblastoma should be individualized. Patients with early intraocular stage may be managed with focal treatments, including cryotherapy, thermotherapy, laser photocoagulation, brachytherapy and so on. Patients with middle in- traocular stage may be treated with chemoreduction plus focal therapy. In patients with advanced stage, enucleation and chemotherapy are recommended, with the addition of orbital radiation for patients with extraocular retinoblastoma. Patients with systemic metastases require intensive chemotherapy and consolidation with autologous hematopoietic stem cell rescue.
