Depression is the most common mental disorder in epilepsy, which means that they maybe have some common pathogene-sis. This paper discussed the biological relation mechanism, such as neurotransmitter, neuropeptide and its receptor, glial cell, immune-medi-ators, nerve signal transduction pathway, synaptic plasticity and nerve regeneration.

Objective To evaluate the effects of propolis on the growth of S.mutans ATCC 25175(S.m),S.sobrinus 6715(S.s) and their fluoride-resistant strains(S.m-FR,S.s-FR),and the change of their glucosyltransferase(GTF).Methods S.m and S.s were induced with sodium fluoride by minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) to induce fluoride-resistant strains(S.m-FR and S.s-FR).Fluid dilution method was used to observe the effects of different levels of propolis on growth of S.m,S.m-FR,S.s and S.s-FR.Chemistry enzyme analysis was used to detect the influence of propolis on the enzyme activity of GTF.Results MIC of propolis for S.m,S.m-FR,S.s and S.s-FR were respectively 0.39,0.78,0.20 and 0.39 g/L.MBC of propolis for them were respectively 0.78,1.56,1.56,and 1.56 g/L.GTF of S.m,S.m-FR,S.s,and S.s-FR was decreased gradually with the increase of concentration of propolis.There were significant differences among total sample groups,and each experimental group and positive control group as well(P

Objective To evaluate the ultrasound(US) features of diffuse sclerosing variant (DSV) of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. Methods The US and histopathlogical of 20 DSV patients were retrospectively assessed. Results Among the 20 cases,thyroid single lobe of 12 cases,bilateral lobes of 8 cases and cervical lymph nodes metastases of 18 cases (90%) were involved in DSV of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. At ultrasound, echo diffuse abnormal change of single lobe or bilateral lobes of thyroid and diffuse scattered microcalcifications were seen in the DSV of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. The blood flow signals of the abnormal lobes were occupied by 75% of one grade and 25 % of two grades. Conclusions DSV of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid is usually manifested as echo diffuse abnormal change,diffuse scattered microcalcifications and cervical lymphocytic infiltration on ultrasound in relatively young patients.

Objective To summarise the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognostic analysis of relapse in vaginal stump after treatment of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, and to offer assistance to clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods Clinical data of 28 patients (admitted in our hospital from Sepetember 2002 to July 2014) with cervical cancer and endometrial cancer after a simple hysterecto-my were retrospectively analyzed. According to the illness, the 28 cases were given partial vagina resection, total vaginal resection and ex-panded vaginal resection. Observe whether the prognostic is in correlation with lymph node metastasis, adjacent organs involvement, interval of recurrence and tissue differentiation degree. Results Median survival time of patients with well or poor differentiation were 40 and 15 months respectively(P<0. 05);and the 3 year survival rates were 66. 1% and 30. 7% respectively (P=0. 03). Median survival time of pa-tients with or without lymph node metastasis were 18 and 40 months respectively (P< 0. 05);and the 3 year survival rates were 0 and 24%respectively(P<0. 05). Median survival time for interval of recurrence of more than 24 months and less than or equal to 24 months were 28 and 16 months respectively (P<0. 05). Conclusion The surgical treatment of vaginal stump carcinoma is safe and effective, and the prog-nostic is in correlation with lymph node metastasis, adjacent organs involvement, interval of recurrence and tissue differentiation degree.

Objective To study the effects of preterm birth, infection, pathological jaundice and asphyxia on neonatal thyroid function. Methods From April 2012 to April 2014,neonates within 7 days after birth admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital were recruited. The neonates with one or more of the 4 aforementioned conditions were assigned to the observation group; the full-term newborns without any diseases to the control group. 2 ml of venous blood from each patient was collected 5-7 days after birth to determine the levels of serum free iodine thyroid original glycine ( FT3 ) , free thyroxine ( FT4 ) and thyroid stimulating hormone ( TSH ) . The thyroid function of newborns in the observation group were re-examined after recovery, and compared among different groups and conditions. Results A total of 220 newborns were recruited in the observation group and 34 in the control group. FT3 in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group ( P＜0. 05 ) . As for FT4 and TSH, no statistically significant differences existed between the two groups ( p＞0. 05 ) . FT3 and FT4 in neonates with severe infection were significantly lower than mild infection ( P＜0. 05 ) . FT3 in the preterm group with gestational age ( GA ) ≤32 weeks was significantly lower than GA＞32 weeks, and FT3 in the jaundice group, serum bilirubin level ≥ 342 mol/L group significantly lower than ＜342 mol/L group (P＜0. 05) . In the observation group, the re-examined FT3 concentration was significantly higher (P＜0. 05) than the result tested 5-7 days after birth while FT4 and TSH didn′t show significant differences. And no significant differences existed between the observation group and the control group in re-examined thyroid functions ( P＞0. 05 ) . The multivariate analysis showed that GA, pathological jaundice, infection and asphyxia were associated with FT3 concentration 5-7 days after birth (P＜0. 05), while the delivery method and gender not (P＞0. 05). Conclusions The main effect of preterm birth, infection, pathological jaundice and asphyxia on thyroid function was to decrease FT3 temporarily. Severe infection might decrease FT4 temporarily. However, the thyroid function would return to normal with recovery.

BACKGROUND:The anatomical structure of acetabulum is different for the developmental dysplasia of the hip, which is smal and shal ow, with abundant cal us and scar tissue. It is difficult to determine the diameter of cup and instal ation of the cup during arthroplasty. Loosening and survival of postoperative prosthesis were influenced by local mechanical changes.
OBJECTIVE:Using the three-dimensional finite element analysis, the stress distribution in acetabular cup-bone interface after implanting cups with different diameters was studied during total hip replacement in treating the dysplasia of hip.
METHODS:Pelvis of developmental dysplasia of the hip patients was selected in this study. Acetabulum in the dysplasia was scanned by spiral CT. The computer simulation technology was applied to reconstruct the three-dimensional model of the pelvic for observing the dysplasia of hip from CT scan picture. Implanting cups with different diameters were simulated. Then the pelvis and acetabular cup model were meshed. The mechanics analysis tool was used to analyze three-dimensional model.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:For the developmental dysplasia, we chose cup with smal diameter that could lead to better bone bed inclusion of cup during total hip replacement. Smal diameter cup induced a smal contact area and increased unit area stress. On the other hand, with implanting the larger cup and increasing degree of acetabular grinding, the acetabular wal bone breaks more obvious, so that the stress (compressive stress and shearing force) concentration at the top of the acetabulum and uneven stress in the rest were apparent increasingly. Thus, in clinical practice, under the premise of the bone bed inclusion, a large diameter cup is helpful to good distribution of stress during total hip replacement, but the perforation of acetabular wal induced by enlarged bone bed should be avoided or minimized.

BACKGROUND:The anatomical strucure of acetabulum is smal and shal ow in adult acetabular dysplasia patients. The large amount of cal us and scar tissues in the acetabulum make it difficult to identify and instal the acetabular cup during arthroplasty. The comprehensive understanding of the acetabulum before arthroplasty is the premise for selecting the appropriate acetabular prosthesis and making the acetabular reconstruction program. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the application value of three-dimensional reconstruction technique in choosing the size of acetabular cup before total hip arthroplasty for acetabular dysplasia. METHODS:Spiral CT was carried out in the 11 acetabular dysplasia patients who waiting for total hip arthroplasty. The acetabulum was multi-planar reconstructed, and the size of the acetabular cup was determined through digitized acetabular cup template implantation, and then the mathching degree assessment was performed to compare with the actual size. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Spiral CT could clearly show the acetabular morphology, and the 71.4%of the acetabular size chosen in the three-dimensional preoperative plan was the same as actual one, the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.888. The agreement was much higher than that of two-dimensional preoperative plan based on X-ray plain film. For the patients with acetabular dysplasia, the acetabulum became saml er and shal ower, and there were various extents of bone defects in the superior-lateral acetabulum. Three-dimensional multi-planar reconstruction can effectively evaluate the acetabular morphology, and three-dimensional preoperative plan can provide useful information for the choice of implant.
