[Estimation of spike wave reduction in electrocorticography for predicting the outcomes of epilepsy surgery].
To investigate spike wave reduction in electrocorticography (EcoG) monitoring for evaluating the outcomes of epilepsy surgery. ⋯ For extra-temporal lobe epilepsy, a postoperative spike wave reduction beyond 80% indicate favorable outcome of the surgery, otherwise poor prognosis is expected. But in cases of temporal lobe epilepsy, no direct association is found between spike wave reduction and the prognosis of the patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Effect of invasive and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation on plasma brain natriuretic peptide in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and severe respiratory failure].
To investigate the change in plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and severe respiratory failure receiving invasive or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation. ⋯ Invasive ventilation produces better effect than non-invasive ventilation in the treatment of COPD with severe respiratory failure. Plasma concentrations of BNP has significant clinical value to evaluate the effect of mechanical ventilation.

[Alterations of peripheral blood T cell subsets in patients with sepsis and the clinical implications].
To observe the dynamic changes of CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of patients with sepsis and discuss the clinical significance. ⋯ Immune imbalance occurs in patients with sepsis represented by lowered CD3+ and CD4+T lymphocyte percentages and CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio in relation to the severity of the condition. CD3+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio can be used as the indicators for assessing the severity of sepsis.

[Therapeutic effect of intradiscal electrothermal therapy for discogenic low back pain].
To observe the clinical efficacy and complications of intradiscal electrothermal therapy for treatment of discogenic low back pain. ⋯ Intradiscal electrothermal therapy is safe and effective to rapidly achieve pain relief and obviously improve the functional status of patients with discogenic low back pain with few complications.

[Molecular mechanism of Wulongdan for improving the learning and memory abilities of rats with chronic cerebral ischemia].
To evaluate the effect of Wulongdan on the learning and memory abilities of rats with chronic cerebral ischemia and explore the mechanisms. ⋯ Wulongdan can enhance the learning and memory abilities of rats with chronic cerebral ischemia, the mechanisms of which may involve increased expressions of NR1 and NR2B in the hippocampus and cortex.
