Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2010;17(15):2065-2066
Objective To explore the relationship between epilepsy and stroke,the features of secondary epilepsy and its treatment. Methods 233 stroke patients were observed and the clinical data of 21 patients who had secondary epilepsy were analyzed. Results Secondary epilepsy after stroke was mainly seen in the cortical stoke patients, the incidence of epilepsy of the cortical stroke group was 16.7% , which was significantly higher than that of the gubcortical stroke patients(5.7% ) ,and there was significant difference between the two groups. The incidence of epilepsy of stroke with a lesion >4cm group was 17. 3% .which was significantly higher than that of stroke with a lesion <4cm group(5.4% ), there was also significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference between ischeraic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke(P>0.05). Conclusion The incidence of secondary epilepsy after stroke had no correlations with the stroke types,but was related to the area and the location of the stroke.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium valproate versus diazepam in the treat-ment of status epilepticus in adults,and to provide evidence-based reference for clinic treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from Med-line,EMBase,PubMed,Cochrane Library,CJFD,VIP datebase,CBM and Wanfang database,the randomized controlled trials (RCT) about sodium valproate (test group) versus diazepam (control group) in the treatment of status epilepticus in adults were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.0 statistical software after extracting data and evaluating quality. RE-SULTS:A total of 5 RCTs were included,involving 276 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that recurrence rate of epilepsy in 48 h in test group was significantly lower than that of control group [OR=0.39,95%CI(0.16,0.96),P=0.04]. Compared with the control group,the effective rate controlling epilepsy within 2 h[OR=1.76,95%CI(0.88,3.52),P=0.11] and incidence of liver injury[RR=1.19,95%CI(0.38,3.70),P=0.77] were no significant differences. CONCLUSIONS:The efficacy and safety of sodi-um valproate was equivalent to diazepam in the treatment of status epilepticus in adults,however,sodium valproate was superior to diazepam in terms of controlling recurrent effect. Due to methodology limit of included studies,large-scale and high quality RCT are required for further validation of the conclusions.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the cause of the cross infection of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) in ICU patients,and to apporach its preventive and control measures.METHODS Eiological inspection and sanitary monitoring have been done in ICU where there were two MRSA patients from June 6th,2008 to August 1st,2008.RESULTS MRSA has been detected on the hands of the ICU medical staff,on the bed-desks,on the switches of the vacuum extractor and gas supply unit on the wall,and in the NS for inhaling sputum.The separation rate were 37.5%,20.0%,54.5%,37.5%,87.5%.CONCLUSIONS ICU patients are prone to be infected with MRSA,which has a strong drug resistance and the infection is difficult to be treated.The cross infection can be prevented and controlled by rational administration,sterile operation and insulation.

ObjectiveThe present study aimed to determine whether or not dual paroxysm proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist,WY14643,improved the dysfunctioned vascular endothelium in hypertension by reducing endothelium-derived contracting factors ( EDCFs ),and to explore the molecular mechanism it was involved in.MethodsIsometric tension in isolated thoracic aortic rings of spontaneously hypertensive rats was recorded.Endothelium-dependent contractions evoked by acetylcholine in the presence of L NAME were reduced by fenofibrate.Cyclooxygenase 1 ( COX1 ) activities were determined by analyzing the peroxidase activity of cyclooxygenase colorimetrically by using ELISA kit.ResultsCompared to the control group,WY14643 significantly decreased the vasoconstriction in aorta of the SHR rats(P=0.014).PPARα antagonist MK866 enhanced the vascular contractility of SHR rats that were incubated with 10.0μmol/L WY14643( P=0.021 ).PPARΥ antagonist GW9662 did not significantly affect the vascular contractility of SHR rats that were incubated with 10.0 μmol/L WY14643( P=0.061 ).The levels of serum PGFlα(P=0.012),2α( P =0.019) and TXB2(P=0.023) in SHR rats incubated with 10.0 μmol/L WY14643 were significantly lower than the control group,respectively.Under the condition of the existence of vascular endothelium,the expression of COX-1 in SHR rats incubated with WY14643 was significantly lower than that in SHR rats incubated without WY14643 (P=0.017).ConclusionsThose data showed that WY14643 reduced the release of EDCFs,it suggests that WY14643 protects against vascular diseases through the PPAR activators in spontaneous hypertension.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine plus sufentanil during postoperative analgesia on sleep quality in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.Methods Sixty patients (aged 30-55 years,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ) scheduled for hysterectomy were randomly divided into the following 2 groups: group C (n=30,sufentanil) and group D (n=30,sufentanil plus dexmedetomidine).Polysomnography measures were performed,the night before surgery (PSG1),the first night after surgery (PSG2),and the second night after surgery (PSG3).In addition,pain levels (visual analogue scale,VAS),sedation levels,sufentanil consumptions,and possible adverse effects on MAP,HR and SpO2 were investigated.Results Compared with PSG1,N1 stage sleep in group C and N2 stage sleep in group D were significantly increased (P<0.05),N1 stage sleep at PSG2 and PSG3 in group D was decreased (P<0.05);N3 and REM stage sleep,sleep efficiency index and subjective sleep quality were decreased,arousal index was increased in two groups (P<0.05).Compared with group C,N1 stage sleep was decreased,and N2 stage sleep was increased at PSG2 and PSG3 in group D (P<0.05);sleep efficiency index,subjective sleep quality were increased,arousal index in group D was decreased (P<0.05).Patients in group D had a lower VAS score and cumulative sufentanil consumption,MAP,HR at 6,24,48 h after surgery (P<0.05) and a higher sedation score at 6,24 h after surgery than those in group C (P<0.05).Conclusion Besides offering effective analgesia,postoperative dexmedetomidine infusion has positive effects on sleep disturbance in patients undergoing hysterectomy.

Objective:To investigate the anti-inflammation effects by activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and its mechanisms in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)model mice.Me-thods:6-week-old male C57BL/6J (B6)mice were randomly divided into four groups:the first group was normal mice,injected with saline;the second group was normal mice,injected with nicotine;the third group was NASH model mice,injected with saline;the fourth group was NASH model mice,injec-ted with nicotine.The experimental mice were fed with either standard chow (SC)or high-fat and high-fructose (HFHF)for 17 weeks to generate an NASH model mice.The mice received injection once daily for 3 weeks [nicotine dose,400 μg/kg].Then,their pathological characteristics and function of the liver were assessed.The expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in se-rum were analyzed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expressions of alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChR),Toll-like receptors-4 (TLR-4)and nuclear factor κB of phosphory-lation (p-NF-κB)in Kupffer cells were determined by Western blot and immunofluorescence assays.Re-sults:We successfully generated NASH model mice by imitating the high-fat and high-fructose dietary style of NASH patients.The results of our investigation demonstrated that nicotine could reduce signifi-cantly the levels of IL-6,and TNF-αin serum (P <0.05).The expression of p-NF-κB protein in the group which was NASH model mice injected with nicotine declined significantly as compared with the group which was NASH model mice injected with saline (P <0.05).And the expression of α7nAChR protein elevated significantly conversely (P <0.05 ).Conclusion:Activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway could inhibit the release of inflammatory factors as TNF-αand IL-6 in NASH model mice,and the mechanism for the inhibition of inflammatory was mediated by NF-κB pathway.
