RESUMO
Objective To discuss the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of sleep related rhythmic movement disorder ( SRMD).Methods We studied the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of 3 patients diagnosed as SRMD in the Electroencephalography Monitoring Center of Xijing Hospital, Xi′an, China.The 3 patients accorded with diagnostic criteria of SRMD that international classification of sleep disorders-3 edition recommended and were followed up for more than 1 year.Results These 3 male patients were ranging from 6 to 27 years old.The onset age of the patient 1 was 13 years,and the others were 1 year old.The patient 2 became symptom-free at the age of 7.The patient 3 relieved at 2-year-old, but recurred at the age of 21. There was no epileptic seizure discharge in video-electroencephalography of the 3 patients, but synchronous electromyography changes during the attack were mistaken for slow wave.Video-polysomnography showed that numbers of awakenings and arousals index were high.Two patients were treated with clonazepam.One had an obvious curative effect, the other had marked efficacy until added trazodone.Conclusions SRMD can occur not only in infants, but also in adolescents and adults.Patients who have the problems of the sleep quality should be treated.Clonazepam can obviously relieve symptoms and improve sleep quality.Patients who do not have a good effect with clonazepam can try to add trazodone.Video-electroencephalography monitoring and interpreting it correctly are important to the diagnosis of paroxysmal disease.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of Ki67 and mitosis karyorrhexis index（MKI）in ganglioneuroblastoma（GNB）.Methods Clinical materials and histology slides from 28 patients with GNB were reviewed.MKI was counted under microscope and the expression of Ki67 protein in GNB was evaluated by immuohistochemical technique.The follow-up data were also collected and statistically analyzed.Results There were 15 patients with favourite prognosis（favourite subgroup,FS） and 13 patients with poor prognosis（unfavourite subgroup,US）.The survival time of GNB patient in FS was significantly longer than that in US（P 0.05）.The survival time is related to pathology classification（P 0.05）.MKI was correlated with advanced clinical stage,pathology classification and survival time（P 0.001）.No significant difference in Ki67 expression was found between low and high MKI patients.Conclusion MKI might be a reliable prognostic parameter for making diagnosis and evaluating prognosis of GNB.Detection of Ki67 expression might be not useful for evaluating the prognosis of GNB.
