Aim To study protective effects of ulinastatin on injury of organs in rats induced by endotoxin.Methods 36 Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups: control group,model group and treatment group.The model of injury of organs were induced by injecting lipopolysaccharide(LPS) through the sublingual vein into rats.Ulinastatin was injected into the sublingual vein of rats in treatment group,LPS was injected into rats in the same way after 10 minutes.At the second hour or the sixth hour after treatment,serum and lung,liver and renal samples were cellected from rats to determine levels of TNF-?,IL-6,IL-1?and iNOS by RIA.Pathologic changes of lung,liver and renal organ were examined.Results Levels of TNF-?,IL-6,IL-1?,iNOS of serum and renal organs in treatment group were obviously reduced than those in model group(P

Background Horizontal sulcus-to-sulcus (STS) and white-to-white diameter are important parameters for designing the proper size of collamer implantable contact lens (ICL).Inappropriate size of ICL may induce the complications postoperatively.Several previous studies compare horizontal STS and white-to-white diameter in normal eyes have been reported,but seldom in high myopic eyes.Objective This study was to investigate the discrepancy of STS diameters in 4 axes and analyze the relationship between horizontal STS diameter and white-towhite diameter in high myopia eyes.Methods The STS diameters in 4 axes (45,90,135 and 180 degrees) and the white-to-white diameters were measured in 48 eyes of 26 high myopia patients using the 50 MHz ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM),the Orbscan-Ⅱ topography system,and the IOL Master,respectively.The mean spherical was (-12.93±3.87) diopters (D) (-8 to-20 D).Statistical evaluation was performed using the one-way ANOVA for comparison of measurement.The agreement of three devices was assessed using the Bland and Altman method.Results The mean STS diameter at 45,90,135 and 180 degrees was (12.06±0.50) mm,(12.27±0.50)mm,(12.03±0.46) mm and (11.84±0.47)mm,respectively.The 90 degree STS was significantly larger than other STS diameters (all at P＜0.05).The 180 degrees STS was significantly shorter than other STS diameters (all at P＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference between 45 degree STS and 135 degree STS (P=0.817).The mean WTW was (11.56±0.40) mm with Orbscan Ⅱ z topography system and (11.98±0.41) mm with IOLMaster.The WTW measured with Orbscan Ⅱ z was significantly shorter than the 180 degrees STS (t =-4.384,P =0.000).The WTW measured with IOLMaster was significantly larger than the 180 degrees STS (t =2.368,P =0.000).Bland-Altman analysis showed not very well agreement for measurements of WTW,STS between Orbscan Ⅱz and UBM,IOLMaster and UBM,Orbscan Ⅱ z and IOLMaster,the width of 95％ confidence interval (CI) were-0.57 to 1.12 mm,-0.96 to 0.67 mm,-0.73 to-0.13 mm,respectively.Conclusions The STS diameters in 4 different axes are not identical with each other in high myopia eyes.The longest STS is in the vertical meridian,the shortest STS is in the horizontal meridian.The WTW diameter measured with both Orbscan Ⅱ z and IOLMaster are not precise for calculating the horizontal STS in high myopia eyes.Three instruments cannot be interchanged for calculating the size of ICL.

Objective Head and neck cancer radiotherapy patients often appear a series of oral complications including mucositis, xerostomia, pain, dysphagia.The purpose of this study was to investigate whether personalization customized positioning oral stent was able to push normal tissue off the high dose target area and maintain accurate repeatable stable positions, thus protecting the normal tissue during radiotherapy of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.Methods 15 newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were collected from March to August 2016 in Department of Radiation Oncology, Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region and randomly divided into trial group and control group.Two groups of patients were treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).Trial group patients wear personalization customized oral positioning stents during radiotherapy while the control group did not wear.After radiotherapy, we compared the exposure doses of clinical target area(CTV) and normal oral tissue in two groups.ResultsThe left parotid gland radiotherapy doses of the trail group and the control group were 2223.557±294.549 cGy and 2900.563±374.660 cGy, the difference was statistically significant(t=3.847, P=0.002);the right parotid gland radiotherapy doses of the trail group and control group were 2284.957±256.673 cGy and 2994.670±339.264 cGy, the difference was statistically significant(t=4.512, P=0.001).The mean exposure doses of CTV in two groups were no statistically significant difference (6142.829±135.986 cGy vs 173.306±6221.825 cGy, t=0.971, P=0.349.Conclusion During the intensity modulated radiation therapy, patients with personalization customized oral positioning stents can keep the mandible in a precise repeatable stable position.And it can reduce the exposure dose of bilateral parotid without affect the radiotherapy effect of the clinical target area.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of interrupted of the inferior vena cava with azygous continuation and the prognosis.Methods Retrospective analysis of 21 fetuses diagnosed with interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation among 28 567 pregnant women who underwent routine ultrasound scan.The clinical data,ultrasonographic features,genetic information and prognosis were collected. Results Interrupted of the inferior vena cava with azygous continuation occurred in 21(0.07%, 21/28 567)of 28 567 patients.Three fetuses(14%,3/21)complicated with heart and extracardiac malformations, including endocardiac cushion defect,single atrium and single ventricle,double superior vena cava,dextrocardia, asplenia syndrome,visceral heterotaxy,duodenal atresia;six fetuses(29%,6/21)were associated with cardiac anomalies, such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome, double outlet right ventricle, pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect,persistent left superior vena cava,endocardiac cushion defect and transposition of the great arteries;six cases(29%,6/21)were only combined with extracardiac malformations,includingasplenia syndrome, visceral heterotaxy, duodenal atresia. Three fetuses (14%,3/21) were nonorganic abnormalities included thickening of the right ventricle wall, fetal bradycardia, pericardial effusion, hydrops abdominis, increased peak systolic velocity/end diastolic velocity and single umbilical artery.Three fetuses(14%,3/21) were isolated interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation,but without other anomalies and 2 of them had normal fetal karyotype.Five cases(24%,5/21)were successfully vaginal delivery,1 case(5%,1/21) had cesarean section. After 12-40 months follow-up, we didn′t obeserve obviously abnormality, nor any chromosomal abnormality.Ten patients(48%,10/21)opted for termination of the pregnancy and the autopsies were not done.Five cases(24%,5/21)were lost to follow up.Conclusions Interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation are associated with cardiovascular and extracardiac anomalies, cardiac malformation and visceral heterotaxy are the most common anomalies. Visceral heterotaxy should be considered and fetal karyotype should be suggested. In the cases of isolated interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation and normal karyotype,the outcome is favorable.

Objective:To explore the effects of the γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA) neurons and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons of the nucleus accumbens (NAc)-lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) neural pathway on the rewarding feeding(palatable food sweat condensed milk) in the obesity rats.Methods:Total 142 male Wistar rats of SPF grade were divided into normal diet (ND) group ( n=68) and high-fat diet induced obesity (DIO) group ( n=74) according to the principle of body mass matching. The rats in the two groups were given normal diet and high-fat diet for 8 weeks. Eight weeks later, 6 DIO rats were randomly selected to observe the nerve projection from GABA neurons in NAc to MCH neurons in LHA by fluorogold retrograde tracing combined fluorescence immunohistochemistry. And the expressions of c-Fos and MCH in LHA after ingestion of sweet condensed milk(rewarding feeding) were observed by fluorescence immunohistochemistry (6 rats in each group). GABA receptor agonist Musimol or GABA receptor antagonist Bicuculine was microinjected into the nucleus of LHA to observe the effect of GABA on rewarding food intake in ND and DIO rats ( n=8 in each group), and the changes of rewarding food intake after blocking MCH signal ( n=8 in each group). SPSS 17.0 was used for statistical analysis, two-way ANOVA and post hoc Bonferroni test were used for comparison among multiple groups, and t-test was used for comparison between two groups. Results:After 8 weeks of high-fat diet modeling, the intake of delicious food in DIO rats was significantly higher than that in ND rats((12.52±2.29) mL, (7.45±1.23) mL, t=4.778, P<0.01) after satiety.The results of fluorogold retrograde tracing combined with fluorescence immunohistochemistry showed that GABA neurons in NAc projected nerve fibers to neurons in LHA, and GABA A receptors in some neurons in LHA coexisted with MCH.The results of NAc-LHA pathway on delicious food intake showed that the interaction between rat group and drug intervention was significant( F=9.869, P<0.01). Simple effect analysis showed that the intake of delicious food after microinjection of Musimol into LHA nucleus of ND rats was significantly lower than that of microinjection normal saline ((4.25±1.38) mL, (7.29±1.49) mL, P<0.01), while the intake of delicious food after injection of Bicuculine was significantly higher than that of microinjection normal saline((10.72±2.11) mL, (7.29±1.49) mL, P<0.05). The intake of delicious food after microinjection of Musimol into LHA nucleus in DIO group was significantly lower than that of microinjection normal saline((3.51±1.77)mL, (13.68±2.95) mL, P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between microinjection Bicuculine and microinjection normal saline ((14.83±3.44) mL, (13.68±2.95) mL, P>0.05). The results of blocking MCH signal on delicious food intake showed that the interaction effect between SNAP-94847 and Bicuculine intervention was not significant ( F=1.468, P>0.05). The main effect of SNAP-94847 intervention was significant ( F=15.880, P<0.01)and the main effect of Bicuculine intervention was significant ( F=6.930, P<0.05). After intracerebroventricular injection of MCH receptor blocker SNAP-94847, the delicious food intake of ND rats was significantly less than that of injection normal saline((4.78±1.72) mL, (7.63±2.77) mL, P<0.05), and it was not affected by pre injection of Bicuculine in LHA ((6.24±2.18) mL, (4.78±1.72) mL, P>0.05). In the DIO rats, the interaction effect between SNAP-94847 and Bicuculine intervention was not significant( F=0.006, P>0.05). The main effect of SNAP-94847 intervention was significant ( F=18.46, P<0.01) and the main effect of Bicuculine intervention was not significant ( F=2.059, P>0.05). After intracerebroventricular injection of MCH receptor blocker SNAP-94847, the delicious food intake of DIO rats was significantly lower than that of injection normal saline((6.89±2.11) mL, (12.19±4.36) mL, P<0.05), and it was not affected by pre injection of Bicuculine in LHA ((8.72±2.26) mL, (6.89±2.11) mL, P>0.05). Conclusion:GABAergic signal in NAc can regulate the expression of MCH in neurons of LHA. In the DIO rats, the sensitivity of MCH neurons in LHA to satiety signal decreases and the hedonic feeding increases.

Objective: To explore prevalence of childhood neglect and autonomic nervous function, and its association in sixth graders students in Harbin, and to provide clues to improve physical and mental health of children and adolescents. Methods: Cluster sampling method was used to select 1 259 students from grade 6 in 5 schools in two districts of Harbin, and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF) and TOHO University Medical Index (TMI) were filled in. Results: The total rate of childhood neglect was 45.7%, of which the rate of emotional neglect and physical neglect were 18.8%, 40.8%. The rate of autonomic nerves disorder was 47.2%. The rate of autonomic nerves disorder in students suffered from neglect, emotional neglect, physical neglect are higher than those without any of neglect(χ2=50.52, 32.02, 43.61, P<0.01), and with the increase of the degree of neglect, the rate of autonomic nervous disorder were gradually increasing(χ2=47.99, 47.07, 49.24, P<0.01). After controlled for gender, neglect, emotional neglect, physical neglect were positively associated with autonomic nerves disorder(OR=1.53-2.34, P<0.05), and the odd ratio for autonomic nerves disorder among those with mild-to-moderate,moderate-to-severe and extremely servere neglect was 1.37, 1.83, 5.10 compared to those with none or mild neglect. Conclusion Childhood neglect is closely related to adolescent the autonomic nerves disorder in sixth graders students in Harbin. Moreover, the more serious the childhood neglect is, the higher the detection rate of autonomic nerves disorder is. In order to improve the physical and mental health of children and adolescents, it is necessary to pay attention to childhood neglect and early assessment of their autonomic function.
