Journal of Chongqing Medical University 1987;0(01):-
Objective: To assess the effects of nootropics oxiracetam on mild and moderate brain injure by neuroelectriphisilogy test.Methods: A study of randomised double-blind contrast test was performed with piracetam as contrast medicine.48 consecutive patients with either mild or moderate brain injury were randomly assigned to either oxiracetam group or piracetam group with 24 cases in each group.The recordings of qEEG and P300 were obtained before administration of the agents and 21 days after the treatment.The differences in qEEG and P300 before and after medication were analyzed statistically and effects of the two medicines on qEEG and P300 were compared.Results: The significant improvement in qEEG and P300 was found in both groups after treatment(P

Objective To compare the cognitive function of children with behavior problems and normal children. Methods 87 children with behavior problems were choosed as study group,according to Rutter' s Children Behaviour Qestionnaire. And 87 normal children were choosed randomly as normal control. Chinese Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (C-WISC) ,Clinical Memory Scale (CMS) ,Number Cancellation Test (NCT) and the Forth Exceptional Test (FET) were adopted to assess the cognitive function of children in two groups. Results Compared with normal control, arithmetic scale ( ( 10.40 ± 3.02 ) vs ( 12. 13 ± 3.26 ) ), verbal IQ ( ( 121.55 ±12.54) vs ( 129.40 ± 13.98) ), object assembly scale ( ( 9.98 ± 2.79 ) vs ( 11.70 ± 2.78 ) ), performance IQ((97.40±10.84) vs ( 103.93 ±14.22)),full IQ ((112.28±11.14) vs (119.03 ± 12.57)),verbal comprehension IQ ( ( 110.48 ± 11.23 ) vs ( 115.80 ± 12.31 ) ), memory/concentration IQ ( ( 101.25 ± 11.66 ) vs ( 109.40 ± 15.45 ) ),the net scale ( (67.05 ± 33.85 ) vs ( 88.72 ± 22.51 ) ) and error rate( ( 32.27 ± 35.77 ) %vs ( 15.41 ± 10.35 ) % ) were lower in children with behavior problems ( all P < 0.05 ). In study group, the total scale of Rutter' s Children Behaviour Qestionnaire was negatively correlated with memory/concentration IQ, and with net scale(r = - 0. 335, - 0. 367, P < 0.05 );but it was positively correlated with error rate (r = 0. 333, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Cognitive defects may exist in children with behavior problems.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathologic features of intraspinal ganglioneuroma.Meth-ods:We collected 1 2 cases of diagnosed ganlioneuroma arising from the spine and one case of ganlioneuro-ma arising from mediastinum as the control.Clinical and radiographic features were reviewed.The pathologi-cal parameters of these cases were analyzed with routine and immunohistochemical stainings of neural fiber (NF),S-100 protein(S-100),myelin based protein(MBP),peripheral myelin protein 22(PMP22),smooth mus-cle actin(SMA),glial fibrilary acidic protein(GFAP)and Ki-67.Results:The disease was likely to occur in pa-tients aged 30-40 years old and more common in female.These cases were all intral cervical spinal tumors and presented with radicular neuralgia and mass effects of cervical spinal cord compression.Ganglioneuro-mas which occasionally contained normal spindle shaped cells were composed of mature or degenarative ganglion cells and neoplastic Schwannian stroma.Ganglion cells appeared positive for NF.Schwannian stro-ma as well as satellite cells around ganglion showed immunoreactivity for S-100.more intense than neurofi-bro-stroma.Mature spindle shaped cells showed immumoreactivity for MBP.Ki-67 labeling indices were usual-ly 0-1%while in Schwannian stroma areas were 3%.No blood vessel endothelium proliferation was ob-served.Conclusion:Intraspinal ganglioneuromas are rare benign tumors(WHO grand I),causing radicular neuralgia.It is jmportant to distinguish ganglioneuroma with spinal root encircled from Schwannoma or neuro-fibroma in the same anatomic location.The optimal treatment is surgical total resection.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of fire acupuncture plus herbal medicine in treating acute gouty arthritis. Method Eighty-nine patients with acute gouty arthritis were randomized into a treatment group of 45 cases and a control group of 44 cases. The treatment group was intervened by fire acupuncture plus orally taking herbal medicine, while the control group was by oral administration of Diclofenac sodium and Allopurinol. The average pain score was observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result The total effective rate was 95.6% in the treatment group versus 81.8% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The average pain score was significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P<0.01). After treatment, there was a significant difference in comparing the average pain score between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Fire acupuncture plus herbal medicine is an effective approach in treating acute gouty arthritis.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of suspended moxibustion plus Chinese medication in treating icteric hepatitis. Method Ninety-two patients with icteric hepatitis were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 46 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by suspended moxibustion plus oral administration of Chinese medication for supplementing yang, tonifying spleen, expelling dampness, and activating blood circulation;the control group was intervened only by the same Chinese medication. The symptom and sign score, and liver function items including TBil and ALT were observed, and the clinical efficacy was compared. Result The symptom and sign scores were significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P<0.05). After intervention, there was a significant difference in comparing the symptom and sign score between the two groups (P<0.05). The TBil and ALT levels were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). The recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 87.0%and 95.7%in the treatment group versus 76.1%and 82.6%in the control group, and the inter-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Suspended moxibustion plus Chinese medication is an effective method in treating icteric hepatitis.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of skin needling plus heat-sensitive moxibustion in treating chronic facial paralysis. Methods:Sixty patients with chronic facial paralysis were divided into an observation group and an acupuncture group by using the random number table, 30 in each group. Patients in the observation group were given skin needling plus heat-sensitive moxibustion; while patients in the acupuncture group were given conventional acupuncture. Results:Three treatment courses later, the total effective rate was 93.3% in the observation group versus 86.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:Skin needling plus heat-sensitive moxibustion can produce a more significant efficacy than conventional acupuncture in treating chronic facial paralysis.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of lymph node status evaluated by computed tomography (CT) in cervical carcinoma treated with radical chemoradiation therapy.Methods 209 patients with FIGO stage Ⅰ B-ⅣA uterine cervical carcinoma treated with radical chemo radiation therapy were enrolled.Lymph node status was evaluated based on site,number and size respectively by CT.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the impact of lymph node status as well as other pathoclinical factors on overall survival (OS).Cox regression model was used to explore the relationship between independent prognostic factors and OS.Results Lymph node metastasis rates for stage Ⅰ B,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and ⅣA patients were 16.7 % (1/6),48.2 % (68/141),57.4 % (31/54) and 87.5 % (7/8),respectively.Variate analysis showed that FIGO stage,anemia before treatment,para-aortic lymph node metastasis,and the number (≥3) and size (maximum diameter ≥ 2.0 cm) of CT positive lymph node were significant unfavorable prognostic factors for OS (P < 0.05).FIGO stage,the number of lymph nodes metastasis,pathologic diagnosis and treatment regimen were identified to be independent prognostic factors in multivariate analysis.Conclusion Under current therapeutic strategy of concomitant chemoradiotherapy,lymph node metastatic status evaluated by pretreatment CT is still a significant and independent prognostic factor for cervical cancer.
