Objective To investigate the roles of cardiac activity index(Tei index) on evaluation the right ventricular function after neonatal asphyxia.Methods Sixty neonatal asphyxia who included 35 cases of mild asphyxia(mild asphyxia group) and 25 cases of severe asphyxia(severe asphyxia group) and 30 cases of normal full-term newborns(control group) were selected.Echocardiographic examinations were performed on 24-48 h after birth,which included pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP),right ventricular ejection fraction(RVEF),tricuspid early diastolic peak(peak E) and late diastolic peak(peak A),and E/A ratio was acquired.The right ventricular cardiac activity index (RV-Tei index) was measured by Doppler spectrum.Results There was no significant difference in RVEF,E/A ratio among mild asphyxia group,severe asphyxia group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).RV-Tei index in mild asphyxia group and severe asphyxia group was increased compared with that in control group (0.489 ± 0.090,0.625 ± 0.100 vs.0.345 ± 0.120),and there was significant difference (P＜ 0.05 or ＜0.01).There was significant difference in RV-Tei index between mild asphyxia group and severe asphyxia group (P ＜ 0.05).RV-Tei index in neonatal asphyxia was positively correlated with PASP (r =0.950,P ＜ 0.05),and there was no relationship between RV-Tei index and gestational age,weight,heart rate (r =-0.068,-0.280,-0.360,P ＞0.05).Conclusions Neonatal asphyxia can lead to disorders of the right ventricular function.Tei index can evaluate early overall changes of the right ventricular function and is better than conventional ultrasound technology in neonatal asphyxia.

Objective:In this study,a prokaryotic expression of the 3-ketosteroid-Delta (1)-dehydrogenase (KSDD) which came from Arthrobacter simplex was built.Moreover,in order to investigate the catalytic mechanism of KSDD and improve its stability,the structure of KSDD was predicted by computer and the critical sites were confirmed by site-directed mutations.Methods:The recombinant plasmid was constructed by eukaryotic expression vector pET-22b and the recombinant strain was constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3).High-performance liquid chromatography was used to determine the transformation rate of 4-AD to ADD.The KSDD structure and key sites were predicted by SWISS-MODEL.Site-directed mutations for the amino acid residues of key sites were constructed and activities of the mutations were detected.Results:The recombinant strain E.coli pET-22-ksdd was successfully constructed.It was induced to express the dehydrogenase by IPTG and the conversion rate of 4-AD to ADD was 27％ at 21 ℃.The structure of 3-ketosteroid-Delta (1)-dehydrogenase and the four key sites was analyzed by SWISS-MODEL.Four mutants,Y120R,Y320L,Y488F and G492Y were constructed.Mutants Y120R and Y488F were inactivated,so they were proved to be the key active sites of KSDD.The conversion rate of mutant Y320L was consistent with that of wild type,but the stability at 37 ℃ was improved.The conversion rate of mutant G492Y was 1.2 times of the wild type and the stability has been improved at 37 ℃.Conclusions:At present,there are few studies about the structure and catalytic mechanism of dehydrogenase.The active sites of the enzyme were verified by this study,which laid the foundation for the further study of the properties of the enzyme KSDD.

Objective:To discuss the correlation between the immune instability of Th17/Treg and the pathogenesis of the Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP)with Mpcoplasma pneumoniae(MP)infection.Methods:From June 2018 to December 2019, children who had been diagnosed as HSP in the Department of Pediatrics at Qinhuangdao First Hospital and Qinhuangdao Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, as well as in-patients with MP infection and outpatients, who had health check-up were collected.The subjects were divided into HSP group(41 cases), MP group(25 cases), HSP-MP group(19 cases) and control group(20 cases) according to the diagnosis of HSP and MP infection.The percentage of Th17 and Treg cells in peripheral venous blood of four groups were determined by flow cytometry, and the levels of interleukin(IL)-17, IL-6 and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)in peripheral venous serum of four groups were detected by ELISA.Results:There were no statistically significant differences regarding age and gender distribution among four groups( P>0.05). The percentages of Th17 cells, IL-17 and IL-6 levels in peripheral blood of the HSP-MP group was significantly higher than those in the other three groups( P<0.05), which in HSP group and MP group were higher than that in control group( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between HSP group and MP group( P>0.05). The percentage of Treg cells in peripheral blood was significantly lower in HSP-MP group than those in the other three groups( P<0.05), which in the HSP group and MP group were lower than those in control group( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between HSP group and MP group( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences of TGF-β among the four groups( P>0.05). Conclusion:High levels of IL-17 and IL-6 may be an important factor causing severe Th17/Treg immune disorders in children with HSP combined with MP infection, which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of HSP combined with MP infection.
