Preterm birth is the main factor affecting the lives and quality of life for premature infants,which is also the main cause for a large economic burden on family,society and medical system.It has been confirmed that the bad neurodevelopment outcome can be effectively prevented by early intervention programs,which are including therapeutic developmental interventions targeting the infants,as well as psychosocial support and education for parents.This review summarizes early intervention programs for improving developmenr outcome in recent years.

insufficiency of both the spleen and the kidney (type E). The serum levels of ALT and AST in type B were significantly more higher than the other syndromes (P0.05). Conclusion The distribution of TCM types of syndrome of the patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B has its characteristic. There are some relationships between TCM types of syndrome and the levels of transaminases, HBVDNA, the abnormal rates of four hepatic fibrosis markers.

[Objective] To investigate the therapeutic effect of Phyllanthus compound (PC, mainly composed of Herba Phyllanthus, Radix Astragali, Radix Notoginseng, Radix Glycyrrhizae, etc.) and lamivudine on chronic hepatitis B. [ Methods ] Sixty cases of chronic hepatitis B were randomized to two groups: group A (the combination of PC and lamivudine) and group B (lamivudine 100mg/d). After a six-month treatment, the therapeutic effect was evaluated. [Results] After treatment, symptoms and signs were improved in group A. The recovery rate of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was 83.3% and 53.3%, the rate of hepatitis B E antigen (HBeAg) turning negative was 73.3% and 13.3% , the percentage of HBeAg ( - ) or anti-HBe ( + ) was 53.3% and 6.7% and HBV-DNA-turning-negative rate was 93.3% and 70.0% in groups A and B respectively (P

0.05).Normalization rate of ALT was higher in the treatment group than that in the control group (P0.05).The rate of HBeAg turning negative in the treatment group after treatment for one year was higher than that in the control group(P

Objective To explore the correlation of helicobacter pylori(HP) infection in liver cirrhosis(LC) of different syndrome patterns with blood ammonia level.Methods Two hundred and seventeen LC patients were divided into Hp-positive group and Hp-negative group.The patients were classified into 6 syndrome patterns: liver-Qi stagnation,internal accumulation of water-dampness,stagnation of damp-heat,deficiency of liver and kidney yin,deficiency of spleen and kidney yang,and blood-stasis blocking collaterals.Parameters of blood ammonia level,hepatic function and blood coagulation function were observed in LC patients with different syndrome patterns.Results The Hp infection rate in 217 LC patients was 40.1%,the difference being insignificant in the patients with different syndrome patterns and hepatic function grading.The percentage was in a decreasing sequence in syndrome patterns of stagnation of damp-heat,internal accumulation of water-dampness,blood-stasis blocking collaterals,deficiency of liver and kidney yin,liver-Qi stagnation,deficiency of spleen and kidney yang.The difference of blood ammonia level was significant between Hp-positive group and Hp-negative group(P0.05).Conclusion Hp infection is an important factor of inducing the increase of blood ammonia level in LC.Blood ammonia level increases in LC patients after Hp infection,especially in patients with blood-stasis blocking collaterals.The hepatic function grading is corrected with blood ammonia level,the worse the hepatic function,the higher the blood ammonia level.

Objective To identify risk factors for anastomotic leakage,and study the influence of high ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery on anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer resection.Methods The chi-test and the student t test were used for statistics.Clinical data were analyzed for 291 patients who underwent rectal cancer resection between August 2008 and November 2011.Results Anastomotic leakage occurred in 27 (9.3％) patients.Anastomotic leakage significantly increased in patients with tumours located within 10 cm from the anal verge,in male patients,and intraoperative blood loss.The use of high ligation of inferior mesenteric artery,which was associated with lower tumor location and surgical modality,was not a risk factor for anastomotic leakage,though it was associated with tumor stage and postoperative urinary retention.Conclusions Anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer resection is related to the tumor level,male gender,and perioperative bleeding,use of a high tie was not associated with an increased rate of symptomatic anastomotic leakage.

BACKGROUND: The survival rate of articular chondrocytes is low after traditional cryopreservation,and great differences existed in chondrocytes from surface layer and deep layer,which easily result in graft degeneration and lead to surgery failure.OBJECTIVE: To establish rabbit allograft models of graded frozen articular cartilages with holes made before cryopreservation and to observe the effect of holed cryopreservation on the rabbit articular cartilages.METHODS: Osteochondral plugs taken aseptically from 2 months old rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups: the experimental group,making holes(3 mm× 3 mm)in articular cartilages and graded freezing; non-hole graded freezing group,non-making holes and graded freezing; cryopreservation group: non-making holes and rapid freezing.The grafts were thawed and transplanted into the relevant articular cartilage defects of recipient rabbits.The grafts differences were observed by gross observation,histochemistry and immunohistochemistry staining.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The gross observation,histochemistry and immunohistochemistry staining of the experimental group were superior to the cryopreservation group.Though there were no significant differences between the non-hole graded freezing group and the experimental group,however,the experimental group enhanced the protective effect on cartilage tissue in the middle layer.The graded cryopreservation of articular cartilage gets an advantage over rapid cryopreservation.And the articular cartilage with holes could be preserved successfully in graded cryopreservation,which assures the survival and function of chondrocytes and slows down degrading process of the articular cartilage tissue after thawed and transplanted.

Objective To evaluate the protective action of Phyllanthus orinaria(PU)for immune liver injury in mice.Methods Forty-eight NIH mice were allocated randomly to high-dose(HG)PU group,low-dose(LG)PU group,bifenbate group(BG),normal control group(NCG),and model group(MG).From the first day of establishing the models,20 g ? kg-1 of PU solution was given for gastric perfusion(GP)to HG PU group,10 g ? kg-1 of PU solution for GP to LG PU group,0.15 g?kg-1 of bifenbate solution for GP to BG group,and the equal amount of normal saline to the normal control group and the model group,qd for 12 days.Serum ALT level and visceral parameters of liver and spleen were determined,and the liver pathological feature was also examined.Results The ALT level,parameters of liver and spleen were markedly decreased in BG group(P 0.05).Conclusion PU has a good effect on counteracting the immune live injury in mice by markedly decreasing the activity of serum transaminase and visceral parameters of liver and spleen,and improving the necrosis of hepatic cells.

Objective: In the authors' previous study, acupuncture had an effect along meridians. The effect ofacupuncture can be represented by local energy metabolism which can be expressed by transcutaneous CO2 emission (TCE). To study the transportation of the effect of acupuncture and the influence to the transportation when blocking the meridians, the following experiment was carried out. Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers (male 8, female 12, average age 29) were examined on pericardium meridian at points between Quze (PC 3) and Tianquan (PC 2) (Point a), between Ximen (PC 4) and Quze (PC 3) (Point b), two control points (c and d) beside a and b and Quze (PC 3). TCE was measured on these five points before, during and after acupuncturing Neiguan (PC 6) by a high sensitive CO2 instrument (Frewil-Q.F., made in China). Mechanical pressure of 1 kg (2 cm～ 1 cm area) was given on Ximen (PC 4) or Daling (PC 7) during the acupuncture and TCE were measured before acupuncture, during acupuncture and mechanical pressing, withdrawing acupuncture but keeping pressing and after withdrawing the pressure. Results: TCE increased significantly on point a, b and Quze (PC 3) during and after acupuncture without mechanical press. When mechanical press was given at Ximen (PC 4), no significantly increase was found on above three points during and after acupuncture. When pressing Daling (PC 7), there was still significant (P<0.05) increase at Quz～ (PC 3) and point during acupuncture and significant increase (P<0.05) at point b after acupuncuture while pressing was kept. Conclusion: Acupuncture can enhance the energy metabolism expressed by TCE along meridians and this effect can be eliminated by mechanical pressing along meridians on the way between acupuncture point and measured point.

Objective: To observe the influence of transcutaneous CO2emission (TCE) at points on the meridian or beside the meridian after different stimulations like acupuncture De-qi, sham acupuncture, study the correlation between acupuncture De-qi and local energy metabolism through TCE. Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers (male 8, female 12, average age 29 years old) were selected. Before, during and after five different acupuncture Neignan (PC 6), the TCE was measured at Quze (PC 3), point A [at the lower one fourth of line between Tianquan (PC 2) and Quze (PC 3)], point B [at the middle of line between Ximen (PC 4) and Quze (PC 3)], point C (2 cm ulnar side point A) and point D (2 cm ulnar side point B) with a high sensitive C02 instrument (Frewil-Q.F., made in China). The measure results were compared. Results: The comparison on value of TCE before and after the acupuncture, in Sham acupuncture and shallow acupuncture groups, it increased in all five points; in De-qi acupuncture group, there are significant increase on point A, point B, and Quze (PC 3), it has statistic significance, but there are no significant increase on point C and D. After Ximen (PC 4) or Daling (PC 7) were pressed to block Neiguan (PC 6), the value of TCE on Quze (PC 3), point A and point B were decreased during acupuncture Neiguan (PC 6), and increased after the block was removed, but there was no significant difference. Conclusion: Sham acupuncture has also some effects on body, it can increase energy metabolism of local skin, it may be the reason that shallow acupuncture without qi amving can obtain clinical efficacy. The operation method of traditional qi arriving acupuncture can increase energy metabolism of relevant meridian skin, mechanical press can reduce this effect.
