Objective To determine Oligl transcription factor expression in periventricular tissue of day 2 newborn rat of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and to explore the relation with remyelination.Methods PVL newborn rat model was successfully established through bilateral common carotid artery ligation,followed by 8% oxygen exposure for 30 min. On day 0,day 7 and day 14 after operation,Oligl expression was examined through in situ hybridization, oligodendrocyte precursor cells and oligodendrocytes were detected via immunohistochemistry method and mRNA levels of MBP, PLP, MAG in control and PVL group were examined with quantitative real-time PCR. Results Oligl positive cells of control group were 115 ± 15/mm2. On day 0 and day 7 after operation,oligl positive cells were 72 ± 20/mm2and 75 ± 12/mm2 ,and there was significant difference as compared with control group (P both < 0. 05), however the oligl positive cells on day 14 after operation(146 ± 1 1/mm2) significantly increased with comparison to control group (P <0. 05). Compared to control group, GST-Ⅱ positive oligodendrocytes and O4 positive oligodendroglial progenitor cells of PVL group were significantly decreased on day 0, day 7 after operation (P both < 0. 05), and these cells both increased on day 14 after operation ,however there was no difference as compared with control group (P > 0. 05). Compared to control group, mRNA levels of MBP, PLP, MAG all significantly decreased on day 0,day 7 after operation(P all < 0. 05), and these levels slightly increased on day 14 after operation (P > 0. 05). Conclusion Oligl transcription factor may be essential in the remyelination and repair of myelin in PVL.

Objective To systematically evaluate the risk factors for hospital-acquired pneumonia(HAP) in patients in departments of neurosurgery.Methods Literatures about the risk factors for HAP in patients in departments of neurosurgery published at home and abroad between 2001 and 2016 were retrieved, the standard clinical data were selected for Meta analysis, the combined OR value for each factor was calculated.Results A total of 7 literatures (3 250 studied objects) were included in the study.Publication bias was excluded, a total of 8 factors were statistically significant, which including age (OR, 1.68 [95% CI, 1.16-2.11]), endotracheal intubation or tracheotomy(OR, 11.31 [95% CI, 9.14-13.63]), disturbance of consciousness(OR, 12.74 [95% CI, 10.63-15.91]), length of hospital stay(OR, 2.36 [95% CI, 1.42-4.81]), underlying diseases(OR, 3.17 [95% CI, 2.18-5.24]), use of ventilator(OR, 2.38 [95% CI, 1.56-4.32]), nutritional status(OR, 4.92 [95% CI, 2.69-6.47]), and invasive procedure(OR, 2.13 [95%CI, 1.34-3.86]).Conclusion Risk factors for HAP in patients in departments of neurosurgery are age, endotracheal intubation or tracheotomy, disturbance of consciousness, length of hospital stay, underlying diseases, use of ventilator, nutritional status, and invasive procedure.While smoking, gender, and types of surgery are not identified as risk factors for HAP in patients in departments of neurosurgery.

Objective To explore the clinical features of respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) pneumonia in full-term neonatal patients.Methods All 422 full-term newborns diagnosed as pneumonia in NICU of Shenzhen Children's Hospital during January 2014 to January 2015 were included in this study.They had been detected for RSV in the way of direct immunofluorescence assay.According to the detection results, they were divided into RSV positive group and RSV negative group, the clinical data in two groups were analyzed.Results Forty-five cases were RSV positive,377 cases were RSV negative.The proportion of breast feeding was 42.22% vs.65.25% ,the proportion of cesarean section was 20.00% vs.76.12% in two groups,there were significant differences between the two groups.Hospitalization time, birth weight, gestational age, the age of admission showed no difference between two groups.The incidencs of cough (100%), shormess of breath (88.89%), three depressions (48.89 %), fine rales (66.67 %), wheezing (22.22%) in RSV positive group were higher than those in the RSV negative group(84.88% ,42.44%, 13.26%, 13.53% ,3.98% respectively), there were significant differences between the two groups.The incidences of fever, saliva, nasal showed no significant difference between the two groups.There was significant difference in the X-ray chest film performance between two groups,RSV positive group was more emhrysema(71.11% vs.6.9%) ,and less patch shadow(88.89% vs.93.10%).The laboratory examination of blood routine test, C-reactive protein,respiratory failure, the positive rate of sputum culture, pneumothorax, pleural effusion were without differences.Conclusion RSV is an important pathogen of full-term neonates with infectious pneumonia.Breastfeeding and eutocia can reduce the incidence of RSV infection.Cough, shortness of breath, pulmonary rales, and emphysema in X-ray were common in RSV pneumonia.
