Objective To investigate the expression and distribution of Kv1.6 in rat hippocampus after status epilepticus (SE) induced by lithium and pilocarpine to explore the relationship between Kv1.6 and epileptogenesis.Methods Forty-eight healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into experiment group and control group.The rats in each group were randomly assigned into 6-hour,1-day,2-day and 3-day subgroups (n =6).Electroencephalography (EEG) of rats in both groups were recorded to show the electrical activity of the rat brains.Nissel staining was performed to investigate the pathological changes,and immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were applied to analyze the expression and distribution of Kv1.6.Results (1) The EEG of rats in control group showed α wave with uniform amplitude,while the EEG in rats subjected to pilocarpine injection showed slow waves and spike waves with irregular amplitude and rhythm.Sustained spike waves were observed during SE.(2) Nissl staining showed that 6 hours after SE,the neural morphology of hippocampi in experiment group was as the same to that in control group.There was no change in neuronal morphology and numbers.However,1 day after SE,the structure of hippocampi was discrete and the number of neurons was decreased.Two and 3 days after SE,the number of neurons in hippocampi decreased further.Swelling and deformation of neurons were seen.Nissl bodies emerged,decreased or even disappeared.(3) There was no statistically significant difference in the expression of Kv1.6 in CA3 and CA1 areas between experiment group and control group 6 hours after SE (all P>0.05).One day,2 days and 3 days post SE,the expression of Kv1.6 in CA3 area (0.117 ±0.040,0.135 ±0.029,0.112 ±0.050) decreased obviously compared to control group (0.192±0.054,0.201 ± 0.062,0.184 ±0.042;t---3.861,3.745,5.579,all P <0.05);and the expression of Kv1.6 in CA1 area (0.114 ± 0.02,0.082 ± 0.031,0.106 ± 0.043) decreased significantly compared to control group (0.165±0.036,0.187 ±0.025,0.172 ±0.052;t=3.221,6.360,3.645,all P<0.05).The expression of Kv1.6 did not show statistically significant difference in DG area between experiment group and control group at all time points examined (P > 0.05).The Western blotting showed the same trend.Conclusion The decreased expression of Kv1.6 may play a role in the epileptogenesis.

Objective To prove the application of bilingual teaching in the child health care curriculum. MethodsEnglish dubbing and Chinese subtitling DVD coursewares of child growth and development were played to medical interns.The interns were asked to do questionnaires to examine feasibility and effectiveness. Results In 8-year program medical students,77.8% of them and 64.8% of the 5-year nutrition professional students could understand the contents of more than 90%.If there was no Chinese subtitles,the ratio were only 5.6% and 6.4%.Most students preferred English subtitles and dubbing,and endorsed the model of bilingual teaching. Conclusion DVD coursewares with Chinese subtitles and English dubbing can be widely used in the teaching of child health care.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) in children. Methods The clinical data of 67 children with PSVT were analyzed retrospectively, and the therapeutic effects of different treatments were compared. Results The clinical manifestations of infants were paleness, shortness of breath, irritability and sweating, and children showed chest tightness, palpitations, abdominal discomfort and fatigue. The curative effect of electric cardioversion, transesophageal atrial pacing, physical therapy, and drug therapy was statistically different (P<0.05), The different cardioversion rates of them were observed for the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The cardioversion rate of transesophageal atrial pacing, was the highest, and the rate of physical therapy was the lowest. There was no significant difference in the cardioversion rate between propafenone, digoxin and amiodarone. Conclusion The clinical manifestations of PSVT in infants are atypical and easily to be ignored. There are many methods for treatment of PSVT. The vagus nerve can be stimulated first, and, if no response, either drugs or electric cardioversion and transesophageal atrial pacing can be used. The cardioversion rate of transesophageal atrial pacing is higher. The drug effectiveness for the treatment of PSVT depends on many factors, and our choice of medication varies from person to person.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate therapeutic efficacy of local application of gentamicin collagen sponge in the prevention of surgical incision infection,and to provide evidenced-reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane Library,CBM,CJFD,VIP and Wanfang databases,randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about lo-cal application of gentamicin collagen sponge(trial group)vs. routine surgery disposal(control group)in the prevention of surgical incision infection were collected. After data extraction and quality evaluation with modified Jadad scale,Meta-analysis was per-formed by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software. RESULTS:A total of 16 literatures were included,involving 7752 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of surgical incision infection in trial group was significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance [OR=0.71,95%CI(0.61,0.84),P<0.001]. The packet statistics showed that the incidence of surgical incision infection in cardiovascular surgery group [OR=0.59,95%CI(0.37,0.96),P=0.03] and skin soft tissue operation group [OR=0.34,95%CI(0.15,0.75),P=0.008] were significantly lower than control group. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of incision infection between digestive system operation group and control group [OR=0.62,95%CI(0.25,1.54), P=0.30]. The incidence of surgical incision infection in≤30 d group was significantly lower than control group[OR=0.58,95%CI (0.41,0.82),P=0.002];there was no statistical significance between more than 30 d group and control group [OR=0.86,95%CI (0.71,1.04),P=0.13]. The incidence of surgical incision infection [OR=0.65,95%CI(0.52,0.82),P<0.001] in gentamicin high-dose group (>100 mg) was significantly lower than control group;there was no statistical significance between gentamicin low-dose group (≤100 mg) and control group [OR=0.96,95%CI(0.72,1.28),P=0.77]. CONCLUSIONS:Local application of gentamicin collagen sponge may have certain effect on the prevention of surgical infection. Different types of surgery,observation time and dose have different prevention effects. It should be used carefully according to clinical practice.

Objective To analyze the distribution and drug resistance characteristics of pathogenic bacteria isolated from blood cultures in the infected patients in our hospital during 2009-2013 to provide the newest evidence for the clinical anti-infection ther-apy.Methods The bacterial identification and drug susceptibility test were performed by applying the VITEK-32 System.The dis-tribution situation and the drug susceptibility test results of pathogens isolated from blood culture specimens in our hospital during this period were analyzed.Results 2 301 strains of positive bacteria were isolated from 14 006 cases of blood culture during these five consecutive years.The positive rate was 16.4%.Among them,1 303 strains were Gram positive bacteria(56.6%),954 strains of Gram negative bacilli(41.5%)and 44 strains of fungi(1.9%).Gram-positive bacteria were mainly Staphylococcus aureus,coagu-lase negative staphylococci(CNS),etc.Gram-negative bacteria were mainly E.coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,etc.E.coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were highly sensitive to carbapenem,amikacin,cefoxitin and antibacterial drugs containing enzyme inhibitor.The detec-tion rates of extended-spectrumβ-lactamase(ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 55.8% and 18.4%respectively.Acinetobacter baumannii in blood culture had serious resistance to most of antibacterial drugs.Conclusion The kinds of pathogens isolated from blood culture are complex with different sensitivity to antibacterial drugs.Timely understanding the re-sults of blood culture has the important significance to adjust the treatment scheme in clinic and timely discover drug-resistant strains for serve clinic better.
