0.05),but existed between grades Ⅰ-Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ(P0.05).Conclusion PIAS3 is expressed in human gliomas,closely correlated with the pathological grade and malignant intensity.PIAS3 may be involved in the development and progression of gliomas.

A total of 60 infants with severe persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) at our NICU from January 2006 to December 2012 were divided into research group[(n =32,high-frequency oscillatory ventilation(HFOV) plus sildenafil)]and control group (n =28,HFOV only).Mean pulmonary arterial pulmonary arterial (MPAP),blood gas analysis,oxygenation index (OI),PO2 to fraction of inspired oxygen ratio (PO2/FiO2) before and after treatment were compared between two groups.After 3-day treatment,MPAP (mm Hg)(32 ±6) vs.(43 ±9)mm Hg,PCO2(mm Hg)(36 ±9) vs.(43 ±9),OI(56 ±22) vs.(85 ±21) in research group were significantly lower than those in control group(P ＜ 0.05) ; in comparison with control group,PO2(mm Hg) (89 ±15) vs.(72 ±22),PO2/FiO2(mm Hg) (223 ± 18) vs.(196 ±24) in research group were significantly higher(P ＜ 0.05).The time of ventilation use (d) (5.4 ± 1.3) vs.(6.3 ± 1.6) in research group was shorter than that of control group(P ＜0.05) while research group showed a higher clinical efficiency rate(％) (81.2 vs.50.0) (P ＜0.05).A combination of HFOV and sildenafil for severe PPHN can significantly reduce MPAP,shorten the duration of ventilation use and improve cure rate.

Objective:To observe the effect of the proteininhibitor of activated STAT 3 (PIAS3) on the proliferation and apopto-sis of U251 glioma cells after PIAS3 expression was inhibited by RNAi. Methods: Three RNAi expression vectorstargeting PIAS3 were constructed and transfected into CHG-5 cells by liposomein vitro. The most efficient RNAi vector was subsequently selected by examiningthe mRNA expressions of PIAS3 in the transfected cells by semi-quantitativeRT-PCR. The selected RNAi vector was then transfected into U251 cells. After 48h of transfection, the mRNA and protein expressions of PIAS3 in glioma cellswere examined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and western blot. Apoptosis wasobserved by flow cytometry using a double-staining method with FITC-con-jugatedannexin V and PI. Flow cytometry was also applied in cell cycle assay. Results:RNAidownregulated the mRNA (P<0.01) and protein (P<0.01) expressionsof PIAS3 in transfected cells.RNAi promoted the resistance of U251 cells to apoptosisand subsequently al-tered the cell cycle. A high percentage of G2 phaseand a low percentage of Sphase were observed in U251 cells. Conclusion:The down-regulation of PIAS3arrested U251 cells in the G2 phase andinduced the resistance of U251 cells to apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of plasma fibrinogen (Fib) level on stroke recurrence within one year of first-ever ischemic stroke.Methods The patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke were enrolled prospectively and were followed up for at least one year.They were divided into either a recurrent group or a non-recurrent group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors for stroke recurrence within one year of first-ever ischemic stroke.According to the plasma Fib levels of the early onset,the patients were divided into a high Fib group and a normal Fib group.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the recurrence between the two groups.Results A total of 121 patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,111 completed one year follow up,and 30 of them (27.027％) had recurrent stroke.Multivariatelogistic regression analysis showed that the increased plasma Fib level (odds ratio [OR] 13.238,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.152-152.077; P=0.038),older at the first onset (OR 1.321,95％ CI1.064-1.641;P=0.012),high body mass index(OR 1.351,95％ CI 1.001-1.823; P=0.049),and poor compliance of antiplatelet drugs (OR 36.819,95％ CI 1.890-717.143; P=0.017) and antihypertensive drugs (OR 50.765,95％ CI 3.198-805.878; P =0.005) were the dependent the risk factors for stroke recurrence within one year of first-ever ischemic stroke.Kaplan-Meier survival function curves showed that the recurrence rate of stroke in the high Fib group was significantly higher than that in the normalFib group (Log-rank test,P =0.000).Conclusions The increased high plasma Fib level,advanced age,obesity,as well as poor compliance of antiplatelet drugs and antihypertensive drugs were the independent risk factors for stroke recurrence within one year of first-ever ischemic stroke.

Objective This research is aimed to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of icotinib for lung adenocarcinoma pa-tients with poor performance status and unknown EGFR gene status .Methods A total of 27 lung adenocarcinom patients with poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-Performance status(ECOG-PS) and unknown EGFR gene status referred to Chongqing Canc-er Institute from August 2012 to August 2014 were analyzed .Icotinib (125 mg) was orally administered three times per day .Asess the efficacy and adverse reaction ,calculate survival rates .Results Among the 27 patients ,the objective response rate(ORR) and disease control rates(DCR) were 29 .6% and 81 .5% ,respectively .The median progression free survival time was 6 .0 months .A to-tal of 70 .4% of patients had an significant improvment in ECOG-PS scores ,following icotinib treatment (Z= - 2 .157 ,P= 0 .031) . Fatigue ,anorexia and diarrhea were the most frequent adverse reaction ,which defined as grade 1 to 2 rashes .Conclusion Lung ade-nocarcinoma patients with poor performance status and unknown EGFR gene status may benefit from icotinib therapy ,and patients were tolerated well .

Objective To study the clinical effects of pulmonary recruitment maneuvers combined with pressure regulation volume control (PRVC) in the treatment of severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants.Method From July 2015 to September 2016,preterm infants of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ RDS who received PRVC treatment in neonatal department of Huai'an Maternal and Child Health Hospital were assigned into recruitment maneuver group and control group (without recruitment maneuver) using randon number table.The ventilator parameters were observed at 1,2,6,12,18 h and 24 h after ventilation.Recovery rate,duration of oxygen therapy and ventilation,duration of hospital stay,incidence of second dose of pulmonary surfactant and complications were compared between two groups.Result A total of 18 cases were included in recruitment maneuver group and 19 cases in control group.The recovery rate of recruitment maneuver group was higher than control group (16/18 vs.10/19).The duration of oxygen therapy [(6.6 ± 2.3) d vs.(11.8 ± 3.0) d],duration of ventilation [(4.1 ± 2.3) d vs.(6.4 ± 2.8) d],duration of hospital stay [(26.7 ± 7.0) d vs.(33.0 ± 8.4) d] in recruitment maneuver group were significantly shorter than control group (P ＜ 0.05).The proportion of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (1/18 vs.8/19),retinopathy of premature (1/18 vs.7/19),patent ductus arteriosus that require medication closure (1/18 vs.7/19)and incidence of second dose of pulmonary surfactant (2/18 vs.9/19) in recruitment maneuver group were significantly lower than control group (P ＜ 0.05).While the complication of air leak,necrotizing enteritis,Ⅲ-V grade intracranial hemorrhage showed no significant differences between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Recruitment maneuvers combined with PRVC in treatment of severe RDS premature infants can improve recovery rate and oxygenation.It can also shorten the duration of oxygen therapy,ventilation and hospital stay.It can reduce the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of premature.It is worth spreading in clinical practice.reduce the incidence of bronchopuhmonary dysplasia and retinopathy.It is worthy of promotion.
