[Bioimmunological characteristics of mature or immature murine dendritic cells].

Objective: To explore the biological characteristics of immature and mature murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs).

Methods: The murine bone marrow cells were cultured and induced in vitro into immature DCs (imDCs). Then ImDCs were incubated with TNF (tumor necrosis factor)-α to obtain mature DCs (mDCs).

[Decolorization and purification of total leaves saponins of panax notoginseng with ion exchange resins].

The total leaves saponins of panax notoginseng decoloring by adsorption with exchange resins was studied and the decoloring capacity of six anions resins as adsorbent material was evaluated. The decoloring capacity of the selected resins (D296 and Dt) was compared by the dynamic adsorption decolorization experiments. Removel of coloured compounds in rew solution takes place in two serially coupled different ionic exchange columns, one packed column was D72 cation resin, another anion resin.

[Changes of body weight and galanin in epileptic children treated with topiramate].

Objective: Topiramate is a new broad-spectrum anti-epileptic drug. Decreased body weight and appetite are common side effects of topiramate. The side effect affects the growth and development in children greatly.

[Relationship between idiopathic epilepsy and sleep macrostructure in children].

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between epilepsy and sleep macrostructure in children.

Methods: Totally 31 children with idiopathic epilepsy aged 6-13 (mean 9.5) years were enrolled in this study, including 18 with idiopathic focal epilepsy and 13 with idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
