RESUMEN
Epilepsy is a long-term, chronic, recurrent, multi-factorial, multi-symptomatic nervous system disease, and was caused by abnormal discharge of brain neurons. Etiology can cause irreversible brain dysfunction and even death. There are about 6.5 million children with epilepsy in China, with incidence rate twice that of adult, presenting serious threaten to children's growth and development. Vitamin D has been well-known for crucial importance to development of nervous, skeletal, and immune system. Studies have found that pediatric epilepsy as well as other neurological diseases were closely related with vitamin D deficiency. First, a large number of studies have shown that vitamin D in children with epilepsy is affected by epilepsy itself; second, the use of anti-seizure medicines can alter metabolism of vitamin D by inducing cytochrome oxidases; third, the inducement was concerned to varieties, combination and duration of anti-seizure medicines; fourth, it was expected that supplement of vitamin D during antiepileptic treatment would guarantee an improvement of treating given that anti-seizure medicines may lead to deficiency of vitamin D. Large numbers of researches have reported on the correlation ship between pediatric epilepsy and vitamin D. However, there is still a lack of systematic review. This article aims to retrospect the research progress of relationship between pediatric epilepsy and vitamin D, and provide valuable feedbacks on further treatment of pediatric epilepsy.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:The treatment of severe rigid idiopathic scoliosis is the difficulty of clinical treatment. The studies in recent years have shown that the three-stage correction is a safe and effective treatment method. OBJECTIVE:To explore the efficacy of three-stage correction in the treatment of severe rigid scoliosis. METHODS:Retrospective analysis was performed on 10 severe rigid scoliosis patients undergoing three-stage correction, the mean age of the patients was 12 years. The average Cobb angle in the coronal plane was 140° (ranged 110°-180°), the average Cobb angle in the sagittal plane was 75° (ranged 50°-100°). The treatment was divided three stages:anterior release, Halo-plevic traction and third step with posterior osteotomy and fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of the patients underwent the surgery safely without severe complications. After anterior release and Halo-plevic traction, the Cobb angle in the coronal plane was 90°, and the mean correction rate was 35.7%;the Cobb angle in the sagittal plane was 50° with correction rate of 33.3%. The mean Cobb angle in the coronal plane was 40° with the correction rate of 71.4%after osteotomy, and the Cobb angle in the sagittal plane was 35° with the correction rate of 53.3%. The results show that three-stage correction is a safe and effective method for the treatment of severe rigid scoliosis.
RESUMEN
A simple,rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry（LC-MS）method was developed for the determination of salidroside in rat plasma and study of its pharmacokinetics after oral administration of suspension of Erzhi Wan and Fructus Ligustri lucidi into Wistar rats.Plasma sample of 200 μL was extracted with acetic ether-isopropanol（2∶1）and the extraction was performed on a Kromasil C18 column（150 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm）with the mobile phase of methanol-water（41∶59,v/v）within a run time of 6.0 min.The analyte was monitored with positive electrospray ionization（ESI）by selected ion monitoring（SIM）mode.The target ions were m/z 323.05 for salidroside and m/z 411.05 for internal standard（IS）geniposide.A good linear relationship was obtained over the range of 5.0-500.0 ng/mL and the lower limit of quantification was 5.0 ng/mL.The validated method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of salidroside in rat plasma after oral administration of suspension of Erzhi Wan and Fructus Ligustri lucidi.

RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo evaluate the surgical therapy for bleeding gastroesophageal varix.Method108 cases of portal hypertension were treated by pericardial devascularization plus submucous varix transligation in the gastric fundus.Postoperative follow-up was made in 90 cases.ResultPostoperative mortality was 7.4% (8 cases), and 9 cases died of rebleeding during the followed-up of 3 years.The rebleeding rate was 21%. The mortality rate of emergent operation was greater than elective surgery.ConclusionThe surgical procedure is satisfactory in the management of bleeding varix especially on elective basis, when the protocol is strictly observed.
