1.Use of the ketogenic diet as treatment for refractory epilepsy and autism in the paediatric age
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;30(5):395-398
There has been great progress in seizure control with the development of antiepileptic drugs,but 30% of epileptic children are refractory to antiepileptic drugs.In order to control intractable epilepsy and improve neurodevelopment prognosis,the non-drug therapy such as surgery,vagus nerve stimulation and ketogenic diet (KD) can be taken.Despite its indisputable effectiveness,the functioning of the KD has not been explained.Now the antiepileptic mechanism and neuroprotective mechanisms are studied mainly.It is reported that KD is effective in variety of refractory epilepsy,and recent studies have shown that KD promising in the treatment of children with autism.Although KD is effective,it is worth further study that including its mechanism,recipe,clinical application,and so on.

Objective To explore the intervention effect of cathepsin B inhibitor (CBI) and its signaling pathways after flurothyl inducing brain injury in rats with recurrent seizures. Methods 6-day-old (P6) SD rats were randomly divided into: recurrent neonatal seizure group ( RS group, n = 30), CBI-treated seizure group ( CBI group, n=30) and the control group( CONT group). Rats in RS group were subjected to 5 seizures with flurothyl during the first 14 days of life. In CBI group,CBI was injected each day before seizures were induced. Then examined development indexes such as the physical growth, neural reflex, neural behavior and cognitive emotional competence. Western blot was employed to determine Cathepsin B expression at different time points ( 1.5h,3h,6h,24h and P35) after the last convulsion. Results The weights of rats in RS group( (27.28 ± 1.6) kg) were lighter than CONT group( ( 33.45 ± 1.57 ) kg). They had significant difference (P< 0.01 ) at the age of p14. The time of cliff avoidance in RS group( (2. 10 ± 1.45 ) s) was longer than CBI group( ( 1.05 ± 0. 32) s). It showed a statistically significant (P < 0.05 ) in p12. In the open-field behavior test: the activities of RS group (20.00 ± 13.08 )were markedly reduced than CONT group ( 57.83 ± 33.22 ) in the horizontal movements, the RS group ( 2.50 ±2.43 ) were significantly decreased than the CONT group and CB1 group( ( 22.17 ± 10.74), (9.33 ± 5.39 ) ) in the vertical motions (P < 0. 05 ). Cathepsin-B expression in RS group( 1.5h, 3h,6h and 24h )was significantly higher than that at the same time in CONT group(P< 0. 05 ). Cathepsin-B expression of CBI group was significantly decreased compared with that in RS group (P< 0. 05 ) at the time point (1.5h ,3h,6h and 24h). There were no significant differences among three groups at P35(P>0.05 ). Conclusions CBI can improve brain injury and regulate the expression of abnormal molecules.

Objective To explore the dynamic expressions of autophagia and apoptosis associated protein Beclin-1, Cathepsin B and Bcl-2 in hippocampus and the intervention efficacy of cathepsin-B inhibitor (CBI) after recurrent neonatal seizure. Method Ninty 6-day-old SD rats were randomly (random number) divided into the recurrent neonatal seizure group (RS group, n = 30), CBI-treated seizure group (CBI group, n = 30) and the control group (n = 30). Rats in RS group were subjected to 55 attacks of seizure induced by using flurothyl during the consecutive 9 days beginning on the 6 th postnatal day (P6). In CBI group, CBI (2 μL, 0.5 μg/μL) was administered every day before seizures induced. Western blot was employed to determine the protein level at different intervals (1.5 h,3 h,6 h,24 h) after the last convulsion.Results There were higher expressions of Beclin-1 and Cathepsin B, and lower expressions of Bcl-2 expression in RS group(1. 5 h,3 h,6 h and 24 h) than those at the same time in control group (P < 0.05). Beclin1 and Cathepsin B expressions were lower while Bcl-2 expressions were higher in CBI group at the intervals of 1.5 h,3 h,6 h and 24 h compared with those in RS group (P < 0. 05). Conciusions Autophagic and apoptotic pathways were activated immediately after recurrent neonatal seizures as indicated by expression changes of Beclin-1, Cathepsin B and Bcl-2 in hippocampus, which suggests a synergistic effect of the two pathways in the pathophysiology of the long-term brain damage of neonateε resulted from the adverse effects of recurrent neonatal seizures.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the pathogen distribution and drug resistance situation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from patients with refractory pulmonary infection,and provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:The sputum and BALF specimen of 136 inpatients with refractory pulmonary infection from the First People’s Hospital of Zhenjiang City from Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2015 were cultured and identified,pathogen detection was compared,and results of drug sensitivity test for pathogen in BALF specimen was analyzed. RESULTS:The positive rates of sputum and BALF specimen of 136 inpatients were 22.06%and 47.79%,with statistical significance(P<0.01);a total of 32 and 72 strains were isolated,they mainly were Ste-notrophomonas maltophilia,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus. S. maltophilia in BALF was sensitive to minocycline and levofloxacin;resistance rate of P. aeruginosa to common antibiotics was lower than 50%;A. baumannii was sensitive to imipenem,ampicillin sodium and sulbactam sodium,amikacin and minocycline;S. aureus was sen-sitive to linezolid,chloramphenicol and vancomycin. CONCLUSIONS:The positive rate of BALF specimen is higher than spu-tum,the pathogens are mainly Gram-negative bacteria. Clinic should rationally select antibiotics based on the drug sensitivity test and clinical symptoms.
