Objective: To observe the synergetic effect of folic acid and genistein on apoptosis in the early stage of neuron and its possible mechanism. Methods: Cyclophosphamide was added to primary cultured neurons to induce apoptosis. Three different dosages of folic acid and genistein were used to inhibit apoptosis. The results were observed by flow cytometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: 1.Folic acid and genistein might play a role in early stages of neuron apoptosis, and the synergetic effect was demonstrated when folic acid and genistein were administered together. 2. The membrane changes in early stages of neuron apoptosis observed by scanning electron microscope were also in agreement with the flow cytometry data. Conclusion: Genistein might reinforce the protective effect of folic acid on neural tube defects by restraining the apoptosis of the early stage of neuron.

Objective To evaluate the value of endoscopy with narrow-band imaging(NBI)for tar-geting biopsy of lesions in children with allergic colitis. Methods The colorectal lesions under the model of traditional white light imaging and NBI in children with allergic colitis were observed and recorded. The re-sults of biopsy under white light imaging and NBI were compared with postoperative pathological diagnosis. Results A total of 60 patients completed the study. Under NBI,47(78. 3%)rectal lesions,52(86. 7%) sigmoid colon lesions and 19(31. 7%)descending colon lesions were found. There were 21(35. 0%),25 (41. 7%),and 8(13. 3%)lesions in the transverse colon,ascending colon and iloececus,respectively. For the lesions in transverse colon and ascending colon,the detection rate under NBI was significantly higher than that under white light endoscopy[35. 0% VS 16. 7%(10/ 60),P<0. 05;41. 7% VS 18. 3%(11/ 60),P<0. 05]. No significant difference was found between two methods for the sigmoid and rectal lesion[86. 7% VS 83. 3%(50/ 60),P>0. 05;78. 3% VS 76. 7%(46/ 60),P>0. 05].There was no significant difference in ileo-cecus and descending colon[13. 3% VS 5. 0%(3/ 60),P>0. 05;31. 7% VS 28. 3%(17/ 60),P>0. 05]. The targeted biopsy results by NBI indicated that the ratio of EOS≥6/ HP was significantly higher than the biopsy results by white light imaging. Conclusion NBI is easy to operate and can discern the microcosmic structure which cannot be observed by the traditional endoscopy. It can provide higher diagnostic accuracy of allergic colitis. After suspicious lesions were found under conventional endoscopic check,NBI could be used to guide the targeted biopsy.

Objective To explore the effect of diabetic liaison nurses on controlling blood sugar levels in patients with hyperglycemia in department other than endocrinology. Methods Four hundred diabetic patients with high blood sugar were selected from January to December, 2014 in department other than endocrinology. They were divided randomly into 2 groups equally:the control group and the observation group. The control group received traditional nursing care, while blood sugar management was carried out by diabetic liaison nurse in the observation group. Result Pre-discharge sugar metabolism in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The diabetic liaison nurses in other departments than the endocrinology department can help control blood sugar levels in patients with hyperglycemiain.

Objective To evaluate value of narrow band imaging(NBI) endoscopy for children with abdominal Henoch?Schonlein purpura ( HSP ) . Methods A total of 46 patients with abdominal HSP were enrolled into the observation group(NBI intervention) from November 2010 to February 2016.Diagnostic rates of white light and NBI endoscopy in abdominal HSP patients, IgA positive rates of targeted biopsies and severe complications were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 25 abdominal HSP patients with no NBI intervention admitted from 2007 to 2009 were randomly enrolled into control group. Data of the control group were compared with those of observation group. Results In observation group, the diagnostic rate under NBI was significantly higher than that under white?light endoscopy[91. 3%(42/46)VS 67. 4%(31/46),χ2=8. 02,P<0. 05]. IgA positive rates of targeted biopsies under NBI was significantly higher than that under white?light endoscopy [ 95. 7%( 88/92 ) VS 69. 6%( 64/92 ) ,χ2 = 21. 79, P<0. 05 ] . Three patients developed such serious complications as digestive hemorrhage as predicted. Compared with control group, abdominal pain and blood stool relief time (10. 96±5. 32 d VS 19. 68±4. 29 d,t=7. 50,P<0. 01), fasting time(10. 37±5. 42 d VS 8. 80± 3. 71 d,t=7. 73,P<0. 01), hospital stay (18. 80±7. 11 d VS 23. 12±4. 36 d, t=3. 16,P<0. 01), time of stool occult blood negative ( 11. 41 ± 6. 30 d VS 19. 12 ± 4. 09 d, t=6. 22, P<0. 01 ) in observation group were significantly shortened. Conclusion NBI endoscopy is valuable for improving the diagnostic accuracy and biopsy accuracy and complication prediction of abdominal Henoch?Schonlein purpura in children.
