Objective To analyze the influence of clinical status, electroencephalography (EEG) and antiepileptic drugs on prognosis of partial seizure in children. Methods A total of 233 pediatric patients with partial seizures were included. Their data including EEG records, responses of medication were reviewed. The patients were classified into three groups: seizure free, improved control and poor control groups. The significance of therapeutic efficacy in initial presentation in different age were assessed with t test. Chi-square test was used to analyze the significance of clinical data,laboratory findings and result of treatment. Logistic regression was used to investigate independent effect of each risk factor. Results Complete seizure control was achieved in 167 patients, improved seizure control in 31 patients and poor seizure control in 35 patients. Patients with poor seizure control were in much younger age group (3 times/month ) was also a predictive factor of poor outcome (?~2=8.976 P=0). The results of treatment were significantly different among the patients with simple partial seizure(SPS), complex partial seizure, and partial seizure with secondary generalized seizure. There were no significant differences in drug responsiveness among the patients treated by phenobarbital, carbamazepine, or valproate (?~2=0.107 P=0.948). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that outcome of treatment was correlated with age of onset, seizure frequency, and type of the seizure (P=0.053,0.007,0.054). Conclusions Poor seizure control is closely associated with a younger onset age, frequent seizures. The treatment responsiveness is the worst in patients of partial seizure with secondary generalized seizures. The best outcome is in patients with SPS. Phenobarbital, carbamazepine, and valproate are equally effective for treating childhood partial seizure.

AIM: To compare the effectiveness on 10g/L cyclopentolate and 10g/L atropine on cycloplegia in children before optometry.
METHODS:Eighty eyes of 40 children among 4-12 years old with refractive error were recruited in this study. 10g/L cyclopentolate eye drops were topically administered once per 5min for 3 times and optometry was performed after 45min. Three days after that, 10g/L atropine sulfate eye gel then was used 3 times per day for consecutive 3d and again the refractive diopter was obtained at the 4th d. The differences of the results in retinoscopy refraction were compared between 10g/L cyclopentolate eye drops and 10g/L atropine sulfate eye gel.
RESULTS: Therefraction results of those given 10g/L cyclopentolate eye drops and 10g/L atropine sulfate eye gel were no statistical different in both 4-8 years group and 9-12 years group with myopia (≤-3. 00D) (P=0. 411, 0. 924). The differences of refraction results of both the drugs were significant in 4 - 8 years group with low hypermetropia, medium hypermetropia and high hypermetropia (P=0. 007, 0. 007, 0. 009). No significant difference was found in 9 - 12 years group with low hypermetropia (P= 0. 592), given 10g/L cyclopentolate eye drops and 10g/L atropine sulfate eye gel, but the differences of refraction results of both the ophthalmic preparations above were significant in 9-12 years group with medium and high hypermetropia (P=0. 039, 0. 012).
CONCLUSION:Both 10g/L cyclopentolate eye drops and 10g/L atropine sulfate eye gel have the cycloplegic effects, but their cycloplegic effects are significant different among hypermetropia children. Thus, the reasonable cycloplegic should be chosen according to the specific situation.

The influence of ?-ionone and ergosterol on the growth and the yield of CoQ_ 10 in yeast was investigated. The results indicated that ?-ionone had the stimulative effect on the biosynthesis of CoQ_ 10 in yeast, and 28.3% increase of the CoQ_ 10 content in the cell was observed when the concentration of ?-ionone in the medium was 0.208?10~ -3 mol/L. Little ergosterol also had the same effect with ?-ionone, while 31.3% increase of the CoQ_ 10 content in the cell was observed when the concentration of ergosterol in the medium was 0.15?10~ -4 mol/L. However, the biosynthesis of CoQ_ 10 was inhibited when the concentration of ergosterol was 0.60?10~ -4 mol/L. Addition of ?-ionone and ergosterol to the medium resulted in 36.1% increase over the control. The results showed that the cell could effectively accumulate more CoQ_ 10 with the addition of ?-ionone and ergosterol to the medium.

Objective　To study the effects of glucose and lipid metabolism on gallstone formation. Methods　Twenty five patients with gallstones and 25 normal volunteer controls were studied from January to April in 1998. The patients were well matched the control with sex and age (1∶1). In the study, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist-to-Hip circumference ratio (W/H) were measured. Blood glucose, glucosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), insulin, C peptide and all parameters of lipids were detected at fasting state. The glucose,insulin, C peptide were detected again at 2-hour after taking 75g glucose orally. Results　The result showed there was no difference on BMI and W/H between the patients and controls. HbA1C、mean fasting and 2-hour glucose concentration were not in significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05, P>0.2, P>0.1 respectively). There were 10 patients with abnormal glucose metabolism (7 with NIDDM, 3 with IGT), but only 4 controls were abnoumal (one with NIDDM, three with IGT). The difference was significant (P<0.05). Furthermore, the mean fasting and 2-hour insulin concentration of gallstone group was higher than that of the control (P<0.02, P<0.05). And the gallstone group had a higher fasting C peptide concentration than control (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference on the parameters of plasma lipid between the tow groups. Conclusion　The study suggests that diabetes mellious and hyperinsulinemia acted as an important role on gallstone formation.

Objective Aim To investigate the effects of high-burden thrombus on outcomes of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods Seventy-three elderly patients with ST elevated acute myocardial infarction(STEAMI)within 12 hours from onset received emergency PCI.They were divided into the high-burdern thrombus group(n=26)and the low-burden thrombus group(n=47)according to coronary artery angiography result.Mortality of 30 days,peak value of CK-MB,ejection fraction(EF)and TIMI flow after PCI were compared.Results The occurance of high-burden thrombus in infarct-related arteries was 35.6% which was more often common in right coronary artery.The rate of TIMI3 flow after PCI in high-burden thrombus group was lower than that of the low-burdn thrombus group.The 30-day-mortality and peak CM-MB level in the high-burden thrombus group was higher than that of the low-burden thrombus group.Conclusion High burden thrombus is an important factor of prognosis in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction after emergency PCI.

OBJECTIVE To investigate distribution status and drug-resistance pathogens from infected urinary tract and offer scientific evidence for reasonably clinical usage of antibiotics.METHODS A total of 286 strains of pathogenic bacteria isolated from urinary tract were identified by common methods.Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed by K-B methods.RESULTS Escherichia coli rated the top one,accounting for 62.2%.Results of susceptibility test showed that all pathogens were resistant to the many antibiotics in different degrees except for 100.0% sensitive to vancomycin in Gram-positive cocci and to imipenem in Gram-negative bacilli.The detection rate of extensive-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs) producers in E.coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae was 36.5% and 40.9%,respectively.The average detection rate of meticillin-resistant staphylococci(MRS) was 35.7%.CONCLUSIONS The drug-resistance of pathogenic bacteria from infected urinary tract is quite serious in the local area.We should adopt effective measurement to control its prevalence.

Objective To investigate whether emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) could influence the BNP level in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods We enrolled 193 patients who were admitted with STEMI.The BNP levels were measured at admission.All patients underwent routine clinical laboratory tests in the first day of hospitalization.Ninety-two patients underwent emergency PCI and the other 101 patients received conservative medicine treatment.The patients who had emergency PCI were divided into two subgroups according to the time between symptom onset and PCI started(ictus time 0-3 h,n=42;ictus time 3-6 h,n=50) for analysis.Results BNP levels were significantly lower in patients undergoing PCI when compared with conservative medicine treatment(261.0?410.9 ng/L vs 921.5?1126.7 ng/L,P
