Objective:To investigate the behavioral, electroencephalographic, and cognitive functional differences in drug-resistant epileptic rat models of cognitive impairment prepared by intraperitoneal injection of lithium chloride-pilocarpine followed by intracranial injection of pilocarpine or carbamylcholine.Methods:One hundred and sixty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group ( n=10), lithium chloride-pilocarpine group (establishing epileptic rat models by intraperitoneal injection of lithium chloride-pilocarpine, n=50), pilocarpine-pilocarpine group (intracranial injection of pilocarpine after intraperitoneal injection of lithium chloride-pilocarpine, n=50)and pilocarpine-carbamylcholine group (intracranial injection of carbamylcholine after intraperitoneal injection of lithium chloride-pilocarpine, n=50). Frequency and duration of spontaneously recurrent seizures (SRSs) were observed by video monitoring system, and 2 weeks after that, phenobarbital and phenytoin sodium were injected intraperitoneally to screen drug-resistant models. Frequency and amplitude of the epileptic waves in EEG were recorded by BL-420 Bio-signal Acquisition and Processing System. Novel object recognition experiment was used to detect the novel exploration, Y-maze free exploration experiment and new and different arm experiment were used to detect the spatial recognition and memory ability, and Morris water maze experiment was used to detect the spatial memory ability. Results:(1) Twenty-four rats (48.00%) survived in the lithium chloride-pilocarpine group, 25 (78.00%) in the pilocarpine-pilocarpine group, and 21 (65.62%) in the pilocarpine-carbamylcholine group; and ultimately 7, 9, and 8 drug-resistant epileptic rat models were identified, respectively; frequency and duration of SRSs in the pilocarpine-pilocarpine group and pilocarpine-carbamylcholine group were significantly higher/longer than those in the lithium chloride-pilocarpine group ( P<0.05). (2) The pilocarpine-pilocarpine group and pilocarpine-carbamylcholine group had significantly higher amplitude of the epileptic waves in EEG compared with the lithium chloride-pilocarpine group ( P<0.05); the frequency of the epileptic waves in EEG increased gradually in the lithium chloride-pilocarpine group, pilocarpine-pilocarpine group, and pilocarpine-carbamylcholine group ( P<0.05). (3) Discrimination index, accuracy, ratio of distance traveled in novel arm to total distance, and time of novel arm entries gradually decreased in the normal control group, lithium chloride-pilocarpine group, pilocarpine-pilocarpine group, and pilocarpine-carbamylcholine group, with significant differences ( P<0.05). (4) Compared with the normal control group, the pilocarpine-pilocarpine group and pilocarpine-carbamylcholine group had significantly decreased frequency in crossing the original platform ( P<0.05); compared with the normal control group, lithium-pilocarpine chloride group and pilocarpine-pilocarpine group, the pilocarpine-carbamylcholine group had statistically shorter distance of target quadrant activity ( P<0.05); number of entries in the target quadrant gradually decreased in the normal control group, lithium chloride-pilocarpine group, pilocarpine-pilocarpine group, and pilocarpine-carbamylcholine group, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Drug-resistant epileptic rat models established by intracranial injection of carbamylcholine after intraperitoneal injection of lithium chloride-pilocarpine have high survival rate, high SRSs rate, and severe cognitive impairment, which is suitable for studying drug-resistant epilepsy combined with cognitive impairment.

Objective To investigate the effect of malignant cerebellar hemorrhage on 3-month prognosis of small spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage.Methods Clinical data of 380 consecutive patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage admitted in Emergency Department of the Affil-iated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University,Neurosurgery Department of Jinyang Hospital Af-filiated to Guizhou Medical University,and Neurosurgery Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from April 2014 to March 2023 were collected and retro-spectively analyzed,and finally,70 patients who met the requirements of small amount of sponta-neous cerebellar hemorrhage were enrolled in this study.They were assigned into benign cerebel-lar hemorrhage group(43 cases)and malignant cerebellar hemorrhage group(27 cases).Accord-ing to their clinical outcomes in 3 months after onset,they were divided into a good prognosis group(51 cases)and a poor prognosis group(19 cases).General clinical data,imaging data,com-plications,inflammatory indicators and prognosis were collected.After collinear diagnosis was used to exclude factors with collinear influence,the independent correlation between good progno-sis and poor prognosis was analyzed by binary logistic regression model.Finally,ROC curve was plotted to analyze the significant data.Results The maximum diameter of hematoma was signifi-cantly larger in the malignant cerebellar hemorrhage group than the benign group(P=0.021).The patients of the poor prognosis group had larger proportion of malignant cerebellar hemor-rhage,and higher neutrophil percentage,WBC count and NLR than those of the good prognosis group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that malignant cere-bellar hemorrhage was an independent predictor of poor prognosis in 3 months(OR=6.218,95％CI:1.140-17.623,P=0.013).The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative pre-dictive value and Youden index of malignant cerebellar hemorrhage in predicting the 3-month prognosis of patients were 63.2％,70.6％,44.4％,83.7％and 0.338,respectively,and the AUC value was 0.669.Conclusion Malignant cerebellar hemorrhage is an independent predictor of 3-month prognosis in patients with small spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage.The patients with malignant cerebellar hemorrhage have poor prognosis than those with benign cerebellar hemorrhage.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is an acute cerebrovascular disease with the highest mortality in subtype of stroke, accounting for 15%-20% of all strokes. There was no specific treatment for ICH currently. The mechanism of secondary neurological impairment after ICH remains unclear. Whether it is related to the process of ferroptosis caused by iron deposition is worth to further discuss. This paper reviews the related published articles about ferroptosis, which include mechanisms, inhibition methods and biomarker of ferroptosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis in lung tissues of rats with endotoxemia.Methods Forty healthy male SpragueDawley rats,aged 2-3 months,weighing 250-310 g,were divided into 5 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group,low dose sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS) group (group L-NaHS),moderate dose NaHS group (group M-NaHS) and high dose NaHS group (group H-NaHS).Endotoxemia was induced by Ⅳ LPS 5 mg/kg in chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats.The equal volume of 0.9％ sodium chloride solution was intravenously injected in group C.NaHS (an exogenous donor of H2S) 0.78,1.56 and 3.12 mg/kg were intraperitoneally injected at 3 h after LPS injection in L-NaHS,M-NaHS and H-NaHS groups,respectively.The rats were sacrificed at 6 h after injection of LPS or 0.9％ sodium chloride solution,and lungs were removed for examination of the mitochondrial ultrastructure of lung tissues and for determination of apoptosis in lung cells (by flow cytometry) and expression of caspase-3,caspase-9,Bcl-2 and Bax protein and mRNA in lung tissues (by Western blot or real-timne polymerase chain reaction).The apoptosis rate and ratio of Bcl-2 expression to Bax expression (Bcl-2/Bax ratio) were calculated.The expression of cytochrome c (Cyt c) in cytoplasm and mitochondria of lung tissues was detected by Western blot.Results The apoptosis rate was significantly increased,the expression of caspase-3,caspase-9,Bcl-2 and Bax protein and mRNA was up-regulated,Bcl-2/Bax ratio was decreased,the expression of Cyt c in cytoplasm was up-regulated,and the expression of Cyt c in mitochondria was down-regulated in group LPS (P ＜0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group LPS,the apoptosis rate was significantly decreased,the expression of caspase-3 and Bax protein and mRNA was down-regulated,the expression of Bcl-2 protein and mRNA was up-regulated,Bcl-2/Bax ratio was increased,the expression of Cyt c in cytoplasm was down-regulated,and the expression of Cyt c in mitochondria was up-regulated in L-NaHS,M-NaHS and H-NaHS groups,the expression of caspase-9 protein and mRNA was significantly down-regulated in M-NaHS and H-NaHS groups,and the expression of caspase-9 was significantly down-regulated (P ＜0.05 or 0.01),and no significant change was found in caspase-9 mRNA expression in group L-NaHS (P＞0.05),and the damage to mitochondrial ultrastructure was significantly mitigated in MNaHS and H-NaHS groups.Conclusion The mechanism by which exogenous H2S inhibits cell apoptosis in lung tissues may be related to inhibition of mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis in rats with endotoxemia.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of portal-superior mesenteric vein resection and end-to-end anastomosis in cases of colonic carcinoma invading portal vein undergoing combined right hemicolectomy (RH) and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) without the need of graft interposition.Methods From 2004 to 2011,5 patients underwent resection of right-sided colon and pancreaticoduodenectomy combined mesentericoportal vein resection at a length from 3 to 4 cm and end-toend anastmoses without graft.Results Surgery was successful in all 5 patients,with complete resection,no severe complications occurred,and all 5 patients were cured.Conclusions Cancers in hepatic flexure of the colon frequently infiltrates the head of the pancreas and duodenum,involving the portal vein.Conservative radical right hemicolectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy combined long mesentericoportal vein resection and end-to-end anastmoses without graft is a reasonable and safe procedure.

Objective To observe the effects of stereotactic implanting depth electrode into the hippocampus on monitoring mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods Thirteen patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy were included in the present study.The epilcptogenic zone might be located in the hippocampus based on the symptoms and MRI data.Eight-contact depth electrode was implanted into the patients' hippocampus by stereotactic procedures to record the electroencephalogram(EEG).The duration of monitoring lasted for 24-72 hours or more,so as to be sure if the epileptogenic zone was located in the hippocampus,and to provide evidences for surgical resection of epileptic focus.Results Thirteen patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy underwent video electroencephalogram monitoring for 72 hours.Twentynine epileptic seizures in 7 patients were detected.Ictal EEG changes manifested as paroxysmal slow wave or spike and slow waves on the background.The epileptiform discharges started from some electrode points,and then propagated to others or the contralateral electrode. After 1-2 seconds of delay,high amplitude slow waves with the frequency of 3-4 Hz were observed on the ipsilateral scalp EEG. Clinical epileptic seizures were not detected in 6 patients during monitoring,depth electrode showed paroxysmal focal high amplitude slow wave or spike and sharp waves,scalp EEG did not find abnormality.Six of thirteen patients received surgical resection of epileptic foci,the outcome during follow-up of 3-8 months was satisfactory.Conclusions To record hippocampal EEG in patients with intractable epilepsy by stereotactic implanting depth electrode into the hippocampus might be a safe and reliable method.It might provide strong evidences for the diagnosis of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy,and for the location of epilcptogenic zone.
