Objective To investigate the factors affecting the stability of the volatile oil extracted fromYinqiaosan Decoction.Methods The main chemical compositions and the extraction repetitiveness of the compound volatile oil were determined by GC-MS, and the stability of multiple extracted volatile oil was studied. Absorbance of the compound volatile oil was used as the evaluation index, and the factors affecting the stability of the of the compound volatile oil were investigated, such as illumination, temperatures and pH values of volatile oil solution and metal ions.Results The results of the GC-MS chromatograph indicated that the main chemical compositions of the compound volatile oil extracted fromYinqiaosan Decoction twice were the same. The results of the stability of the volatile oil showed that the preservation temperature and illumination affected the stability of the volatile oil to a certain extent. The absorbance values of the compound volatile oil changed slowly when it was stored at a relatively low temperature (4℃) and shielded from light, and it was less stable when stored in normal temperature and under illumination. Meanwhile, the absorbance of the compound volatile oil changed quickly in acid or alkaline solutions and was in instability. The metal ions, such as Cu2+ and Fe3+, have chemical reactions with the compositions of the compound volatile oil and there was a big change in the UV-Vis spectrum of the compound volatile oils.Conclusion The compound volatile oil should be stored at a relatively low temperature (4℃) and shielded from light. At the same time, it should be stored avoiding acids, alkaline and the metal ions, such as Cu2+ and Fe3+, to guarantee its stability. This study provides a reference for the preservation conditions and the preparation conditions of the compound volatile oil extracted fromYinqiaosan Decoction.

[Objective]To evaluate the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities and associated abnormalities in prenatally diag?nosed clubfoot,and to determine the prognostic factors as well.[Methods]A total of 89 fetuses with clubfoot diagnosed during Janu?ary 2010 to October 2015 in prenatal ultrasound scan and confirmed postnatally or by autopsy,were selected,within which 16 (18.0%)cases were without other abnormalities and 73(82.0%)cases were with other abnormalities. The associated abnormalities were identified ,the correlation with chromosomal abnormalities were analyzed with Fisher analysis and the factors affecting the outcomes were determined with Logistic regression analysis.[Results]Among associated abnormalities ,the skeletal abnormalities besides the clubfoot were the most frequently associated anomalies (35 ,47.9%),and the central nervous abnormalities followed secondly(30,41.1%). A chromosomal abnormality,with trisomy 18 being the most frequently detected,was identified in 34%(17/49)of the clubfoot fetuses with other anomalies ,whereas none of chromosomal abnormality was identified in 11 fetuses without other anomalies,a significant different rate of aberrant chromosome noted(P < 0.001). The survival rate of clubfoot fetuses without other anomalies was higher than that of clubfoot fetuses with other anomalies(50.0%vs 1.3%,P=0.03). The conditions of with or without associated anomalies were the independent prognostic factors (P = 0.01),the clubfoot fetuses associated with other anomalies had poor outcomes[OR=11.9(95%CI:1.8,80.1)].[Conclusion]Skeletal abnormalities besides the clubfoot were the most frequently associated anomalies. The condition of with or without associated anomalies is the independent prognostic index for fetuses with clubfoot. Aneuploidy were more commonly in clubfoot fetuses with associated abnormalities than in those without other abnormalities. No indication for karyotyping suggests for the clubfoot fetuses without other abnormalities due to the low incidence of associate chromo?somal anomalies.

Objective To analyze the concomitant malforrnations,chromosomal abnormalities and outcomes in prenatally diagnosed congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) cases. Methods Cases of fetal CDH,prenatally identified in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2002 to November 2008,were recruited.The concomitant realformations,chromosomal abnormalities and outcomes of fetal CDlH were analyzed.Fisher's exact test was applied. Results During the study period,71 CDH cases were identified including 62(87.3%) left-sided CDH and 9 (12.7%) right-sided ones.Among the 71 CDH fetuses,38(53.5%)were isolated CDH.33 (46.5%)were complicated with other realformations(complex CDH),including 18(54.5 0A) cardiovascular defects,10 (30.3%)central nervous system abnormalities,9(27.2 0A)genitourinary abnormalities and others.Fetal karyotying was performed in 19 out of the 71 CDH fetuses.among which 12 were isolated CDH cases with normal karyotype,and 4 of the rest 7(4/7)complex CDH cases with chromosomal abnormalities showing a significant differenee compared to the isolated CDH (P.0.009).Sixty-five pregnancies were terminated including all complex CDH(n=33)and 32 isolated CDH.The rest 6 isolated CDH fetuses were term delivered and 5 of them survived after repair of diaphragmatic hernia and one died after birth. Conclusions Left-sided CDH are more common than right-sided ones. Approximately half of the CDH cases are complicated with other malformations,especially cardiovascular abnormalities.The risk of chromosomal abnormalities increases in complex CDH and is relatively low in isolated CDH.The influence of surgical procedure on the prognosis of CDH has not yet determined.

Objective To study the expressions of cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3 ( Caspase 3 ) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA ) in intestinal tissue of neonatal rats with necrotizing enterocolitis ( NEC ) , and the protective effect of glutamine ( Gln ) on NEC. MethodsThirty-six neonatal Sprague-Dawley ( SD) rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups at 48 h after birth (12 in each group). The control group were fed with milk replacer. The NEC group were fed with milk replacer and experiencing cold exposure after hypoxic-reoxygenation twice a day for 3 days, The Gln+NEC group were fed with milk replacer plus Gln and experiencing cold exposure after hypoxic-reoxygenation twice a day for 3 days. All the rats were sacrificed and intestinal tissues obtained at day 3 of the establishment of model. The histological changes of ileal tissues were studied using hematoxy lin-eosin ( HE ) staining. The expressions of Caspase 3 and PCNA were detected using immunohistochemical(IHC)method.Results Caspase3expressioninNECgroup(77.3±8.6)℅was significantly higher than the control group (18. 9 ± 3. 4)℅ and Gln+NEC group (50. 3 ± 6. 2)℅ ( P<0. 05). Also, Caspase 3 in Gln+NEC group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0. 05). PCNA expression in the NEC group ( 15. 0 ± 1. 9 )℅ was significantly lower than the control group (34. 2 ± 5. 8)℅ and the Gln +NEC group ( 24. 0 ± 3. 9 )℅ ( P <0. 05 ) . PCNA expression in the Gln+NEC group was significantly lower than the control group ( P<0. 05). The pathological score of the intestinal tissues was significantly correlated with Caspase 3 expression ( r = 0. 769, P = 0. 005 ), Caspase3/PCNA ratio (r=0. 835,P=0. 002) and PCNA expression (r= -0. 698, P=0. 014) in the NECgroup.Conclusions Up regulation of Cas pase3 and down regulation of PCNA might be correlated with the process of NEC. Gln might be effective in prevention and healing of NEC by inhibiting apoptosis and promoting cell proliferation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of two different venous drainage patterns on the prognosis of fetal pulmonary sequestration( PS) . Methods Sixty cases of fetal PS with confirmed venous drainage diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound were retrospectively analyzed . Changes of the volumes of PS lesions and the clinical outcomes were compared between two different venous drainage patterns . Results Among the total 64 cases ,34 cases were pulmonary venous drainage and 30 cases were systemic venous drainage . There was no case combined with any abnormality in pulmonary venous drainage group;whereas , 6 cases combined with other abnormalities in systemic venous drainage group ,between which significant difference was noted( P =0 .02) . In pulmonary venous drainage group ,there was no significant difference in the volumes of PS lesions between at 20-24 weeks′gestational age(WGA) and at 24+1 -30 WGA( P >0 .05) ;but not between at 24+1 -30 WGA or at 20 -24 WGA and at 30+1 -39 WGA ( P < 0 .05) . However ,in the systemic venous drainage group ,the volumes of PS lesions were stable at these three stages ( P > 0 .05) . Postnatal respiratory symptoms and postnatal surgery rates were similar between the two groups( P > 0 .05) . Conclusions PS with systemic venous drainage is more likely combined with other abnormalities than PS with pulmonary venous drainage . The lesion volumes of PS with pulmonary venous drainage decreas remarkably during the middle‐late pregnancy . Nevertheless ,the clinical postnatal outcomes are both favorable in the two groups .

Objectives To understand the effects of different doses of vitamin D supplementation on serum calcium,phosphorus,alkaline phosphatase and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) and to provide guidance for early prevention of metabolic bone disease in VLBWI.Methods A total of 90 VLBWI hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology,Huzhou Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital between January 2014 and January 2016 were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups:highdose group and low dose group.High-dose group was given vitamin D 900 U/d orally and low-dose group was given 400 U/d since the eighth day after birth.Serum calcium,phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels were detected at 1,7,21 and 42 days of age and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were detected at 7,21and 42 days of age.Two-sample t-test,Chi-square test,one-way analysis of variance and LSD or Dunnett's T3 test were used for statistical analysis.Results No significant differences in serum calcium,phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels were found between the two groups at 1 and 7 days of age,nor were found in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level at 7 days of age (all P＞0.05).At 21 days of age,high dose group had higher serum calcium,phosphorus and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels than low-dose group [(2.38 ± 0.09) vs (2.04 ± 0.15) mmol/L,t=2.421;(1.80±0.50) vs (1.71 ±0.60) mmol/L,t-0.637;(45.58± 18.43) vs (42.53± 16.33) nmol/L,t=0.421],but lower alkaline phosphatase level [(505.12± 185.61) vs (588.32± 168.72) U/L,t=5.314] (all P＜0.05).The same trends were found at 42 days of age.In high-dose group,serum calcium level increased at 7,21 and 42 days of age as compared with that at 1 day of age [(2.43±0.13),(2.38±0.09),(2.39±0.08) vs (2.06±0.57) mmol/L];serum phosphorus level at 7 days of age was lower than that at 1,21 and 42 days of age [(1.31 ±0.26) vs (1.89±0.39),(1.80±0.50),(1.98±0.30) mmol/L];serum alkaline phosphatase level at 7,21 and 42 days of age was higher than that at 1 day of age [(475.18± 133.73),(505.12± 185.61),(538.43 ± 168.16) vs (296.15 ± 99.41) U/L] and a significant increase was observed at 42 days of age as compared with that at 7 days of age;serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D level at 21 days of age was higher than that at 7 days of age,and that at 42 days of age was higher than that at 7 and 21 days of age [(73.55±23.65) vs (30.63± 12.66) and (45.58 ± 18.43) nmol/L];the differences were all statistically significant (LSD or Dunnett's T3 test,all P＜0.05).Conclusions Vitamin D supplementation from the eighth day after birth can improve calcium and phosphorus metabolism in VLBWI and the dose of 900 U/d is more effective than 400 U/d.

Objective To study the correlation of HBV infection pretransplantation and posttrans-plantation and HCMV recurrence after liver transplantation (LT). Methods We reviewed historical patient medical records of LT patients in recent two years in our hospital. All the patients were divided into HBV in-fection group and a control group based on a peripheral blood HB antigen assay before LT. The HBV infec-tion group was divided into HBV reactive infection group and HBV non-relapse group. HCMV antigen pp~65 was detected by immunohistochemical methods. HB antigens and antibodies were detected by time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay, and liver enzyme levels were detected by conventional methods. Results Com-paring two groups of patients, pp65-positive rates of LT patients with HBV infection and control group pa-tients were 84.3% and 57.9% respectively (P=0.024). While in HBV recurrence infection group and non-recurrence infection group, the incidences of HCMV recurrence were 90.9% and 83.3% (P=0.843). The changes in the liver transaminases level in both groups have no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion Pretransplantation HBV infection may increase the incidence of HCMV recurrence. Posttrans-plantation HBV reactive infection, however, may not increase the incidence of HCMV reactive infection. Meanwhile, compare with either HBV infection or HCMV infection alone, co-infection may not serious in liv-er enzymes levels.
