Objective To explore the effect of oxymatrine o n the airway inflammation and the cytokine production in asthmatic mice. Methods Forty BALB/c mice were divided into four groups in cluding a control group (group A), an asthmatic model group (group B), a dexamet hasone treatment group (group C) and a oxymatrine treatment group (group D). Ast hma mouse models in group B, group C and group D were prepared by injecting oval bumin (OVA) into the abdominal cavity and inhalation of aerosol. Group C were in jected dexamethasone, and group D recceived oxymatrine on day 15 to 22 .The numb er of EOS and the concentration of IL-4 and IL-5 and IFN-? in th e mouse bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) were detected. Results Oxymatrine could significantly reduce the mumber of EOS and the concentration of IL-4 and IL-5, and increase the level of IFN-? in the BALF of asthmatic mice. Significant difference was fo und between group D and group A or B(P0.05). Conclusion Oxymatrine can remarkably reduce the mumber of i nflammation cells in the BALF, and influence the level of cytokines so as to imp rove airway inflammation in the patients with asthma.

Objective To explore the relative factors of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in infertile women.Methods Ninety-eight infertile women diagnosed PCOS at affiliated hospital of the Chinese People's Armed Force Logistic college from Jan.2008 to Dec.2012 were served as PCOS group.Two hundred and eighty infertile women with normal ovarian structure according to laparoscopic examination result were selected as control group.The general information,factors related infertile and laparoscopic examination of the two groups were recorded.Results Fifty-one cases (52.0％) in PCOS group were with menarche age earlier than 13 years old,higher than that of control group (113 (40.4％),x2 =4.03,P ＜ 0.05).Eleven cases (11.2％) in PCOS group were with abnormal menstruation cycle,higher than that of control group (12 (4.3％),x2 =6.12,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of pelvic adhesions in PCOS group was lower than the control group(60(21.1％) vs.224(40.4％),x2 =13.70,P ＜0.05).Irregular menstruation cycle was risk factor of PCOS (OR=1.770,95％ CI:1.09-2.88,P =0.002).Conclusion Women with earlier menarche and irregular menstruation cycle should be paid more attention in terms of PCOS,early screening,discovery,prevention and treatment,so as to reduce the incidence of PCOS induced infertility and the long-term complications.

Objective To investigate relations between villus Benzo (a)pyrene (BaP)-DNA adducts and blighted ovum in early pregnancy, and to explore possible environmental factors influencing embryo development. Methods One hundred and two pregnant women with blighted ovum were selected into this study as research group; and 102 normal pregnant women were taken as control group; the age, gravidity, parity and gestational weeks of the two groups were matched. After artificial abortion, villi of the patients were collected and washed by normal saline. Then, the tissue was homogenated and genome DNA was extracted to detect quantity of the tissue. BaP-DNA adducts levels were examined by high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence method (HPLC). The personal information of pregnant women was collected by questionnaire. Logistic regression model was used to investigate the association between BaP-DNA adducts and blighted ovum. Results BaP-DNA adducts level in villi of research group [(8. 9±8. 2) adducts/108 nucleotides] was significantly higher than that of control group [(2. 0±1. 4) adducts/108 nucleotides], P＜0.05. The higher the BaP-DNA adducts in villi, the higher risk the blighted ovum; when the BaP-DNA adducts level increased to 6.06 adducts/108 nucleotides, the risk of blighted ovum might increase 59.39 times (95% CI:15.50-227.55). Maternal education level was a protective factor (OR=-0.21, 95%CI:-0. 19--0.03) after controlling potential confounders. Conclusions High level of villi BaP-DNA adducts might increase the risk of blighted ovum in early pregnancy, and could have an adverse effect on embryo development.

Objective To study the evaluative values of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) in screening neonatal seizures.Methods The aEEG and video electroencephalogram (VEEG) on 32 patients with seizures hospitalized in Peking University First Hospital was conducted on the same day.The parameters of aEEG including the integrated spectra band,background rhythm and primitive electro signal were analyzed and compared with VEEG.Results Seizures presented clinically by 12 cases were detected by VEEG,and their electric discharges were detected by aEEG.The sensitivity of aEEG was 100%.VEEG showed electric discharges during intermediate stage in twenty cases and thus the seventeen of this group were detected by aEEG with its sensitivity of 87% and 100% in the specificity.The positive and negative predictive values of aEEG were 80% and 100%,respectively.But aEEG could not discriminate the attack stage or intermediate stage electric discharges.The abnormal background activity was detected by VEEG in 13 cases and the sensitivity of aEEG was 100% and the specificity was 83%.The positive and negative predictive value by aEEG were 76% and 100% respectively.The electric discharges of 32 cases were detected by VEEG whenever they were in attack stage or intermediate stage.All electric discharges could be detected through primitive electro signal by aEEG.The electric discharges in 3 cases were not detected by integrated spectra band from aEEG,but were detected by primitive electro signal from aEEG.Conclusions The sensitivity and specificity in the screening of neonatal seizures by aEEG is useful and could be applied clinically as a simple and safe screening method for recognizing neonatal seizures.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the pregnancy outcomes and fetal loss after fetal reduction of triplets to twins or singleton pregnancy. Methods 282 cases of triplets who received multi-fetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) at Shandong Provincial Hospital affiliated to Shandong University were recruited from Sep 2001 to Mar 2014. According to the remaining fetal number after MFPR, 231 cases were opted to reduce to twins (twins group) while 51 cases were opted to singleton pregnancy (singleton group).The indication of the former group was fetal abnormalities under ultrasound or on patients′ demand; while the indication for the later group included dichorionic triamniotic (DCTA) triplets or patients′ aspiration. Potassium chloride was injected into the targeted fetal heart until cardiac standstill was obtained. The pregnancy outcomes, gestational age at delivery, birth weight of newborns of the two groups were recorded. Successful pregnancy was defined as take-home at least one baby. Results (1)The overall rate of successful pregnancy was 91.5%(258/282).There were 413 neonates in the twins group, including 4 neonatal deaths and 409 live babies, with the successful rate of 90.5%(209/231). There were 49 neonates in the singleton group, including 2 cases of fetal loss. Thus the successful rate was 96.1%(49/51). There was no difference of successful pregnancy rate between the two groups(P>0.05).(2)The mean gestational age at operation for the twins group and singleton group were(16.5±3.5)weeks and (14.2±2.0) weeks, respectively. Each group was divided into three periods,11-13+6 weeks, 14-16+6 weeks and≥17 weeks.In the twins group, the cases in each time period were129(55.8%,129/231), 50(21.6%,50/231)and 52(22.5%,52/231), respectively. While in the singleton group, the cases in each time period were 27(53%,27/51), 16(31%, 16/51)and 8(16%,8/51).There was no difference between the two groups at each time period(P>0.05). (3)The fetal loss rate in the twins group were 7%(9/129), 12%(6/50), 10%(5/52) at each time period, respectively. While for the singleton group they were 4%(1/27), 0(0/16)and 1/8, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups at each time period(P>0.05).(4)The mean birth weight of the twins group was lower than the singleton group [(2 555±447) g vs (3 084±550) g, respectively, P<0.05].The rates of low birth weight infants(<2 499 g)in the twins group and the singleton group were 45.5%(188/413)and 8%(4/49), respectively(P<0.05).The rate of very low birth weight infants(≤1 499 g) was 3.9%(16/413)in the twins group compared with 0(0/49)in the singleton group(P>0.05).(5)The gestational age at delivery of the twins group was earlier than the singleton group [(36.2 ± 2.4) weeks vs(38.3 ± 2.2)weeks, respectively,P<0.05]. The labor rate of the two groups was significantly different for both 34-36+6 weeks and≥37 weeks(P<0.05).The full-term delivery rate in the twins group was 47.6%(110/231), and was 88.2%(45/51)in the singleton group(P<0.05). The fetal loss rate before 28 weeks did not differ between the two groups[8.7%(20/231)vs 3.9%(2/51), P>0.05].Conclusions Reduction to one fetus led to significantly better outcome than two fetuses, with no significant difference in fetal loss rate. It is better to advise patients with triplets reduce to singleton pregnancy.

Objective To explore the clinical value of 256-slice CT whole hepatic perfusion imaging in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Twenty-three patients with hepatocellular carcinoma underwent whole hepatic perfusion with the JOG technique one week before TACE.The scanning data of cancer and liver tissues were analyzed using the perfusion software.The cancer tissue perfusion was repeated 4 to 6 weeks after treatment and was compared with that before treatment.Results (1) Before TACE,the HCC lesions were shown on the hepatic arterial perfusion (HAP) map as homogeneous hyper-perfusion lesions in 8 patients and as inhomogeneous hyper-perfusion lesions in 15 patients.The HAP and hepatic arterial perfusion index (HAPI) values of the tumor were higher than those of the liver tissues,while the hepatic portal perfusion (HPP) values of the tumor was lower than that of the liver tissues.The differences were all significant (P ＜ 0.05).(2) Mter TACE,the tumors were totally filled with lipiodol in 3 patients,partially filled with lipiodol in 13 patients,and sparsely filled with lipiodol in the remaining 3 patients.There was no blood perfusion in the lipiodol-filled areas and in the cancer necrotic tissues,but in the sparsely or partially lipiodol-filled areas blood perfusion could still be seen.21 patients received another session of TACE 6 to 8 weeks later.The results between the hepatic arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and the CT perfusion were 100％ matching.The HAP and HAPI values of the tumor decreased when compared with before treatment,and the difference was significant (both P ＜0.05).The HPP values decreased slightly with no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05),while higher HAP and HPI and lower HPP were observed in the active cancer tissues when compared with the liver tissues after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion 256-slice MSCT whole liver perfusion imaging can quantitatively reflect abnormal perfusion of hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and postoperative active tissues,and has important guiding significance in the preoperative evaluation,and the postoperative follow up of patients treated with TACE.

Objective:To compare the newborn piglet models of hypoxic ischemic brain damage in hypoxia and hypoxia combined with occlusion of both carotid arteries. Methods: Twenty four 7-day-old piglets were divided into two groups. Group H: mechanical ventilation with low concentration of oxygen,Group HI; mechanical ventilation with low concentration of oxygen combined with occlusion of both carotid arteries. The piglets were inhaled with 10%, 8%, and 6% low-concentration oxygen for 30 min, and grouped into mild, moderate, and severe hypoxia ones. The changes of physiological parameter, cerebral blood flow and cerebral oxygen perfusion were detected. Results: There were no significant differences in blood gas analysis of oxygen saturation, blood lactic acid and pH between the two groups(P＞0. 05) . The mean arterial pressure of severe hypoxia in HI was significantly lower than in H(P＜0.05). The cerebral blood flow in H and HI was relatively stable after different degrees of hypoxia. As compared with the cerebral blood flow perfusion in group H and HI, there were no significant differences between them ( P>0. 05). The cerebral oxygen perfusion in H and HI was significantly descent after different degrees of hypoxia (P＜ 0.05). As compared with the cerebral oxygen perfusion in groups H and HI, there were no significant differences between them. Conclusion: H and HI have the same effect on physiological parameter, cerebral volume and cerebral oxygen perfusion of newborn piglets. The mechanical ventilation with low concentration of oxygen to newborn piglets can develop the HIBD model, it is not necessary to occlude carotid arteries.
