Objective To understand the effect of environmental risk factors exposed in the first trimester of pregnancy on congenital heart disease, then provide scientific evidence for congenital heart disease prevention. Methods A hospital-based 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted. The risk factors were obtained by field investigation with standardized questionnaires. The data was dealt with single factor analysis and conditional Logistic regression using SPSS version 11.5. Results Folic acid(OR=0.340, 95%CI: 0.178-0.649), milk(OR=0.660, 95%CI: 0.460-0.947), meat(OR=0.771, 95%CI: 0.583-0.867) and nausea and vomiting of pregnancy(OR=0.457, 95%CI: 0.271-0.770)were significantly associated with congenital heart disease. Maternal infection(OR=2.736, 95%CI: 1.462-5.121), taking medicine(OR=2.735, 95%CI: 1.483-5.044), poisonous chemicals(OR=2.764, 95%CI: 1.065-7.177) and mental stress(OR=2.211, 95%CI: 1.022-4.782) were risk factors of congenital heart disease. Conclusion To prevent congenital heart diseases, pregnant women should take more nutriment, keep healthy state and avoid infecting, taking medicine and exposing chemical toxicants in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Objective To study the protective effect of resveratrol on endothelial cells injury induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and its protective mechanism. Methods The injured model was established by endothelial cell treated with oxLDL. In the experiment, endothelial cell were cultured in vitro and divided into seven groups which were: control group; solvent (DMSO) group, oxLDL group, quercetin plus oxLDL group, Reseveratrol-L (0.5 mol/L), M(5 mol/L), H(50 mol/L) plus oxLDL group respectively. Endothelial cells were incubated with 200?g/ml oxLDL for 18 hours in the absence or presence of various concentrations of resveratrol and quercetin. The apoptotic index was detected by flow cytometric. Meanwhile, the content of Malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activity of SOD, GSHPX in the culture medium and homogenate of endothelial cells were measured. Results Incubation of endothelial cells with oxLDL for 18 h elicited a significant increase in the percent of apoptotic endothelial cells, in control group, the percent of apoptotic cells is 7.6?0.6, however in oxLDL group, it increased to 41.4?2.3, furthermore, oxLDL induced the increase of the contents of MDA, and accompanied by the decrease in the activity of SOD, GSHPX in the endothelial cells, the difference of was significant as compared with control group. Pretreatment of resveratrol with 0.5~50 mol/L decreased these oxLDL-induced changes, in Reseveratrol with 50 mol/L group, the percent of apoptotic cells decreased to 13.0?1.5, the difference of was significant as compared with oxLDL group (P

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of application of health education model on patients un-dergoing extracorpereal shock wave lithotripsy of urinary calculi. MethodsWe randomly divided 278 patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of urinary calculi into the experimental group(136 cases) and the control group(142 cases).The experimental group received health education according to the model of health education, while the control group adopted routine health education. The treatment effect of lithotripsy after 1 week,2 weeks and 1 month was evaluated. ResultsAfter health education,the cure rate at I week after lithotripsy was 50.7%, which was higher than that of the control group,28.2%, the cure rates at 2 weeks and 1 month were 58.2% and 86.0%, which were better than those of the control group, 49.0% and 70.4%. ConclusionsApplication of health education model can improve the treatment effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of urinary calculi and alleviate pain of patients as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of major pathogens for urinary tract infections in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.Methods Strains from midstream urine culture of patients with urinary tract infections were collected during January 1 and December 31,2011.All strains were identified by API system,and disk diffusion method was used for drug sensitivity test.Results Totally 1129 strains were isolated,in which 667 (59.1% ) were Gram-negative strains,266 (23.5%) were Gram-positive strains,and 196 (17.4) were Candida.Among Gram-negative strains,Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were highly sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics; while Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were highly resistant to most antibiotics including cephalosporins and penicillinase inhibitor,and the resistance rates were over 50%.Among Gram-positive strains,the major strains Enterococcus avium and Enterococcusfaecalis were completely sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin,and highly sensitive to linezolid (resistance rate below 10% ).Candida albicans and Candida glabrata were highly resistant to voriconazole and fluconazole (with the resistance rates of 47.2% - 60.0% ), but were completely sensitive to amphotericin and nystatin.Conclusion Gram-negative strains account for most urinary tract infections in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University with high drug resistance rates.

AIM: To study the effect of TGF-? 1 and TN F-? antisense PS-ODNS on ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell s (HSPC). METHODS: CD 34 + cells were purified from fres h umbilical cord blood by immunomagnetic beads, and mononuclear cells were purifi ed from bone marrow by Ficoll-hypaque . The effects of TGF-? 1 and /or TNF-? an tisense PS-ODNS on ex vivo expansion of CD 34 + cells、CFU-GEMM、CFU-G M、CFU-E and BFU-E were detected by using liquid and semi-solid culture systems . RESULTS: TGF-? 1 antisense PS-ODNS cooperated with cytokines increased the number of CD 34 + cells,CFU-GEMM,CFU-GM,CFU-E and BFU-E , which was as 4,2.6,2.7,1.8,2.1 times as that of the control (the cytokine s combination), respectively. TNF-? antisense PS-ODNS cooperated with cytokines respectively increased the number of CD 34 + cells, CFU-GEMM, CFU-GM, CF U-E and BFU-E by 4, 2 9, 2 6, 1 7, 1 8 times as that of the control. The ab ove two antisense PS-ODNS cooperated with cytokines could respectively increased the number of CD 34 + cells, CFU-GEMM, CFU-GM, CFU-E and BFU-E by 5 3,2 1, 2 7, 1 9, 1 8 times as that of the control. CONCLUSION: I nhibition of endogenous TGF-? 1 and TNF-? by antisense PS-ODNS will be one of the effective methods to expand HSPC ex vivo.
