Objective To propose a novel stereo-electroencephalography(SEEG) quantitative measure analyzing ictal high frequency (60-90 Hz) and calculating high frequency epileptogenicity index (HFEI) to localize epileptogenic zone and evaluate epileptogenic network. Methods The clinical presurgical evaluation and SEEG data of 15 patients who were performed SEEG electrodes implantation from April 2015 to March 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Post-implantation head CT images and 3D MRI data were fused for accurately identifying and locating each electrode contact. Ictal SEEG quantitative measure HFEI was calculated and threshold was set. The epileptogenic network was divided into focal, regional, multiple regional and bilateral ones and the results were compared with the pathological results.Results The epileptogenic network was focal for four patients, regional for four patients, multiple regional for six patients and bilateral for one patient (7/15). In terms of the pathology,two cases with hippocampal sclerosis both showed regional network. In four cases with cerebral malacia, two cases showed multiple regional network and the other two cases showed focal network. In six cases with cortical malformation, three cases showed multiple regional network, the other three cases showed focal, regional and bilateral networks respectively. Conclusions We explored a novel SEEG quantitative measure based on the high frequency power analysis,which is objective and could localize epileptogenic zone and evaluate the epileptic network.

With the sulfate as the materials and NaOH as precipitator, Mn(0.4)Zn(0.6)Fe2O4 nanoparticles were produced, which are proved to be spinel Mn-Zn ferrite analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD). Their shapes are approximately global examined by transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and their average diameter is 50 nm measured with image analysis-system. The Curie temperature was measured and in vitro heating test in a alternating magnetic field was carried out. The results show that the Curie temperature is 105. 407 degrees C, While its magnetic fluid could rise to 43 degrees C - 47 degrees C due to different concentration in a alternating magnetic field. The result provide theoretical and practical evidence to select an appropriate material and concentration for tumor

Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nano-particles were prepared by the chemical co-precipitation, their characteristics were observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and thermal analysis system, and etc. The temperature changes of the nano-particles of Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 and its magnetic fluid explored in radiofrequency(RF,200 KHz, 4 KW) were measured. The proliferation ratio of L929 cells cultured in soak of Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nano-particles were observed. The experiment indicates that the magnetic particles were about 40 nm diameter in average, round, had strong magnetism, and were proved to be consistent with the standard data of chart of XRD. Its magnetic fluid exposed to RF could be heated up to temperature range from 40 degrees C to 51 degrees C due to the amount of the magnetic nano-particles and intensity of the alternating magnetic field. Magnetic nano-particles were found to have no obvious cytotoxicity to L929 cells.
