Objective To observe the changes of abdominal oxygen saturation in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI)with feeding intolerance (FI)within 1 4 days after birth monitored by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).Methods VLBWI fitting entry criteria were enrolled into this study.NIRS monitoring was carried out to detect cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2 )and abdominal oxygen saturation (SsO2 ).Data were analyzed between FI infants and feeding tolerance (FT)infants.FI was defined as follows:gastric residual of more than 50% of the previous feeding volume;emesis or abdominal distention or both;decrease,delay or discontinuation of enteral feedings. Results 93 VLBWI were enrolled.52 cases(55.91 %)presented with FI,including 29 cases(31 .1 9%)of gastric residual increasing and 23 cases(24.73%)of emesis with or without abdominal distention within 1 4 days after birth. The levels of SsO2 and SsO2 /ScO2 showed no differences in infants with FT and with FI within 24h after birth (P >0.05).The change rates of the median of SsO2 and SsO2 /ScO2 in FT infants were similar during 1 4 days (P >0.05).While both the change rates of SsO2 and SsO2 /ScO2 were markedly decreased 1 day before and the day of FI (P <0.01 ).The decreasing degree of SsO2 was similar between infants with gastric residual increasing and infants with emesis with or without abdominal distention[(1 6.2 ±5.1 )vs (1 7.4 ±3.6)%,t =0.733,P =0.476]. Conclusion Abdominal oxygen saturation measured by NIRS may be a useful method for infants adjusting the feeding plan.

Objective To compare the effects of dual-wavelength spectrophotometry and HPLC on the content of trimethoprim(TMP)in Compound Dihydroartemisinin Tablets.Methods HPLC was performed in a column of C 18 with acetonitrile and 0.75% diethylamine(15∶85,adjusting pH to 2.5 by phosphoric acid)as the mobile phase and the detecting wavelength was at 271nm.The detecting wavelength was also at 271nm with reference wavelength at 366nm in dual-wavelength spectrophotomerty.Results Within 20.0～100.0 ?g/mL,TMP has a good linearity(r=0.999 94)by HPLC,and the average recovery was 100.9% with RSD being0.24%(n=5).By dual-wavelength spectrophotometry,a good linearity(r=0.999 95)of TMP was within 5.0～25.0 ?g/mL,and the average recovery was 100.0% with RSD being 0.45%(n=5).Conclusion Both dual-wavelength spectrophotometry and HPLC can be used to determine the content of TMP in Compound Dihydroartemisinin Tablets,but the former can detect the content of TMP directly without the disturbance of piperaquine phosphate and is simple,rapid and accurate.

Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxic preconditioning on learning and memory and the possible protective mechanism in mice with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Healthy adult male Kunming mice were randomly divided into five groups by Random number table:normal group( N group),hypoxic preconditioning group (HPC group),sham operation group (C group),ischemia-reperfusion group(O group),hypoxic preconditioning and ischemia-reperfusion group(HPC+O group).HPC+O group were given hypoxic preconditioning before 24h of ischemia-reperfusion.The escape latency was detected by Morris water maze and the neuron apoptosis of CA 1 area of hippocampal was determined by immunofluores-cence techniqueR.e sults The escape latency in HPC+O group on the second,third and fourth day of MWM was (39.92±4.52)s,(30.98±2.44)s,(19.69±4.27)s,and significantly lower than that in O group((54.35± 3.66)s,(46.31±4.81)s,(36.81±3.86)s).Mice in HPC+O spent longer time in the target quadrant than that in O group((36.44±5.33)%and(24.5±2.59)%,respectively, P<0.05).Immunofluorescence showed that the apoptotic ration of nerve cells in hippocampal CA 1 was significantly lower than that in O group ( 11.7 ± 0.14 and 1.35±0.14, P<0.05).Conclusion Hypoxic preconditioning can increase hippocampal CA1 neurons hypoxia tolerance of ischemia reperfusion injury in mice,and reduce the incidence of neural cell apoptosis.

Objective To investigate effects of different ventilation methods during pulmonary surfactant(PS) administration on cerebral oxygen metabolism in preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.Methods Newborns met the inclusion criteria were enrolled into this study,and they were randomly divided into manual group and mechanical group.During PS administration,the proximal end of the tracheal tube was connected to a bag valve mask device in the manual group or a mechanical ventilator in the mechanical group.Brain near infrared spectroscopy monitoring was carried out to detect the cerebral oxygen saturation(ScO2),and the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) was simultaneously recorded.Results For all 49 preterm infants,PS was administered to preterm infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome treated with mechanical ventilation,including 24 cases of manual ventilation and 25 cases of mechanical ventilation.The left cerebral ScO2 and correlation coefficient of ScO2 and MABP(rScO2-MABP) showed no difference in both groups before PS administration.During administration,ScO2 dramatically increased in both groups [manual group:(85.88 ± 5.54) ％ vs.(77.31 ± 5.40) ％,t =5.521,P =0.000;mechanical group:(83.88 ± 3.18) ％ vs.(76.53 ±4.38)％,t =6.741,P =0.000],and gradually decreased after administration,the level of ScO2 didn't return to the baseline till the 2nd 5 minutes after PS administration [manual group:(79.25 ± 3.02) ％ vs.(77.31 ± 5.40) ％,t =1.560,P =0.220;mechanical group:(78.59 ± 3.45) ％ vs.(76.53 ± 4.38) ％,t =1.832,P =0.074].The same trend of ScO2 change rate was shown simultaneously in both groups.The rScO2-MABP markedly increased during administration in both groups (manual group:2.34 ±0.16 vs.1.86 ±0.21,t =9.022,P =0.000;mechanical group:2.12 ± 0.15 vs.1.87 ±0.21,t =4.810,P =0.000).The rScO2-MABt,in mechanical group rapidly decreased to baseline during the 1st5 minutes (1.84 ± 0.18 vs.1.87 ± 0.21,t =0.538,P =0.635) but went back to baseline in manual group during the 2nd 5 minutes(1.84 ±0.19 vs.1.86-0.21,t =0.350,P =0.809).Change rates of rScO2-MABP were markedly higher in manual group than those in mechanical group during the 1 st 5 minutes (1.15 ± 0.13 vs.1.00 ± 0.15,t =4.943,P =0.000).Conclusions ScO2 could be affected transiently by PS administration with different methods of ventilation.The effect on cerebral autoregulation in mechanical group is shorter than that in manual group.

Objective To use enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for measuring thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1),and to analyze its diagnostic value for prostatic carcinoma.Methods The possible difficulties and the way to solve the difficulties with ELISA spot were explored first.Three agents which could segregate idio-antigen and one technique which could depurate proteinum were designed and developed.The non- idio- proteinum cross reaction problems were solved and the routine method to measure TSP-1 with ELISA was set up successfully.The serum TSP-1 was measured in 14 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 18 patients with prostatic carcinoma.Results The TSP-1 values were (73.77±12.72)% and (121.86±-19.47)% in prostatic carcinoma group and benign prostatic hyperplasia group,respectively (t= 8.44,P＜0.01).The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of TSP-1 and prostate specific antigen (PSA) for prostatic cancer were 92.7%,88.9% and 85.7%,66.7%,respectively (P＜0.01).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of TSP-1 and PSA were 0.9663 and 0.7421 (P＜0.05).Conclusions The determination of TSP-1 with ELISA is feasible.TSP-1 is an ideal diagnostic parameter for prostatic carcinoma and it may distinguish BPH from malignant prostatic disease more exactly than PSA.

Objective To investigate the internal quality control ( IQC ) on clinical chemistry , clinical immunology and clinical hematology in mutual recognition laboratories in medical institutions in Beijing.Methods By means of questionnaire survey and on -site investigation, fresh frozen serum and whole blood samples with assigned values by reference method were measured to investigate the status of IQC on clinical chemistry , clinical immunology and clinical hematology in 142 mutual recognition laboratories in medical institutions of Beijing,and results were analyzed.Results 142 copies of questionnaireson clinical chemistry, clinical immunology and clinical hematology were send out and 120, 97, and 101 laboratories returned the questionnaires respectively .The information feedback rate was 84.5%, 68.3% and 71.1%respectively .All the questionnaires were effective .Questionnaires survey results showed that more than 50%laboratories set up quality control goals and the most of the goals were probability for error detection ( Ped) 95%, probability for false rejection(Pfr)5%;About 70% laboratories usecd the same quality control plan for different tests ;The most frequently used quality control rules are 12s/13s/22s.On-site investigation showed that ,take the results of clinical chemistry for example , based on the desirable biological variation and WS/T 403 -2012 , most of the tests can't meet the quality control goalsunder the existing quality controlcondition.Conclusion Clinical laboratories should consider their actual situations , assess their own qualitylevels that they can reach , set reasonable quality standards for themselves , and make appropriateindividualized quality control plan.

Objective To explore the expression changes and possible molecular mechanisms of Neuritin and HSP60 during the repair of liver injury,and to provide an experimental basis for the study of the repair of liver injury. Methods Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into control group without any treatment(n=6)and experimental group(n=42)underwent 70% hepatectomy to induce acute liver injury,and 6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,3 d,7 d and 14 d after the operation,the left lobe resection of the residual liver was per-formed. Immunoblotting technique (Western blot) was used to detect the expression difference of Neuritin and HSP60 in liver tissue of the corresponding time points. Hematoxylin eosin staining(hematoxylin-eosin staining, HE)was used to observe the expression changes at each time point in liver pathology,and tail vein blood to detect ATL and AST changes. Results (1)Compared with those in the control group,the serum ALT and AST levels in the experimental group were increased at 6 h,12 h,24 h and 48 h after the operation,and reached the peak at 48 h postoperatively but those began to decrease 3 d postoperatively and was almost normal 7 d postoperatively. The difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). Pathological findings:compared with that in the control group, the hepatic lobule structure in the experimental group was disorderly. The obvious balloon like change reached the peak 48 h postoperatively.(2)In the whole process of repair of liver injury,the expression of Neuritin and HSP60 showed differences in the opposite. There was a significantly negative correlation between Neuritin expression and the repair or the aggravation of the injury(P<0.001)and the lowest expression was observed 48 h postoperatively. There was a significantly positive correlation between HSP60 expression and the repair or the aggravation of the injury(P < 0.001)and the highest expression was observed 48 h postoperatively. Conclusions (1)With simple 70% left hepatic lobectomy,the repair of liver injury model of SD rats is successfully established and the heaviest injury is observed 48h postoperatively. With a high success rate(100%,42/42),simple and practical,the method provides a reliable and convenient animal model for the study of liver regeneration,liver injury and liver transplan-tation.(2)The expression of Neuritin decreases gradually after liver injury and reaches the lowest 48 h postopera-tively,while the expression of HSP60 increases gradually and reaches the highest 48 h postoperatively.(3)The change of expression of Neuritin and HSP60 is closely related to the process of liver injury repair(P < 0.001), showing a certain change rule. They may have some biological effects through interactions,and participate in and promote the regeneration and repair of liver injury.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and risk factors of deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods:The clinical data of RA patients who were hospi-talized in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of Aerospace Center Hospital from May 2015 to September 2021 was retrospectively analyzed,including demographic characteristics,concomitant diseases,laboratory examinations(blood routine,biochemistry,coagulation,inflammatory markers,rheumatoid factor,antiphospholipid antibodies and lupus anticoagulant,etc.)and treatment regimens.The patients were compared according to the presence or absence of DVT,and the t test,Mann-Whitney U test or Chi-square test were applied to screen for relevant factors for DVT,followed by Logistic regres-sion analysis to determine risk factors for DVT in patients with RA.Results:The incidence of DVT in the RA patients was 9.6％(31/322);the median age of RA in DVT group was significantly older than that in non-DVT group[64(54,71)years vs.50(25,75)years,P＜0.001];the level of disease activity score using 28 joints(DAS28)-erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)in DVT group was higher than that in non-DVT group[5.2(4.5,6.7)vs.4.5(4.5,5.0),P＜0.001];the incidence of hypertension,chronic kidney disease,fracture or surgery history within 3 months,and varicose veins of the lower ex-tremities in DVT group was higher than that in non-DVT group(P＜0.001).The levels of hemoglobin and albumin in DVT group were significantly lower than that in non-DVT group(P=0.009,P=0.004),while the D-dimer level and rheumatoid factor positive rate in DVT group were significantly higher than that in non-DVT group(P＜0.001).The use rate of glucocorticoid in DVT group was higher than that in non-DVT group(P=0.009).Logistic regression analysis showed that the age(OR=1.093,P＜0.001),chronic kidney disease(OR=7.955,P=0.005),fracture or surgery history with-in 3 months(OR=34.658,P=0.002),DAS28-ESR(OR=1.475,P=0.009),and the use of glu-cocorticoid(OR=5.916,P=0.003)were independent risk factors for DVT in RA patients.Conclu-sion:The incidence of DVT in hospitalized RA patients was significantly increased,in addition to tradi-tional factors,such as age and chronic kidney disease,increased DAS28-ESR level and the use of glu-cocorticoid were also independent risk factors for DVT.

Objective:To review the scope of related factors that affect the elderly′s participation in digital health intervention, and to provide a certain reference for the application and development of smart elderly technology.Methods:Based on the scope review guidelines issued by the Joanna Briggs Institute in Australia in 2019, the inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined according to the PCCS principles. Chinese and English literatures were searched in PubMed, Cochrane Library, JBI, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, CNKI, Wanfang database and Chinese biomedical literature database. The search time limit was from the establishment of the database to November 30, 2021. Two researchers independently read, and used EndNoteX9 and Excel tables to extract relevant data from the literature for summary and analysis.Results:Totally 20 articles were selected, including 2 mixed studies, 10 cross-sectional studies, 6 qualitative studies, and 2 quasi-experimental studies. Relevant factors affecting the participation of the elderly in digital health interventions involved the developers, users and the user himself of digital health intervention systems, including the degree of system integration of system development, the degree of autonomy of the elderly, the credibility and accessibility of system equipment and ease of use; the degree of compatibility of equipment in the process of use, the degree of digital infrastructure configuration, the degree of Internet penetration, the availability and reliability of health information resources, the degree of training and education, the degree of communication with the elderly in the process of participation, financial payment, etc.; the four inherent factors of the elderly included the cost of technology use, technical anxiety, privacy and safety, and health needs.Conclusions:The elderly, medical staff, developers and other stakeholders should jointly participate in decision-making on the development and management of the digital health intervention system for the elderly, especially by inviting and empowering the elderly , and improve the training and feedback of the system application and use process, accelerate the popularization and promotion of technical resources, and increase social capital and financial payment incentives to reduce the burden on the elderly and the medical system.

Tooth development is a complex process that involves precise and time-dependent orchestration of multiple genetic, molecular, and cellular interactions. Ameloblastin (AMBN, also named "amelin" or "sheathlin") is the second most abundant enamel matrix protein known to have a key role in amelogenesis. Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI [MIM: 104500]) refers to a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by inherited developmental enamel defects. The hereditary dentin disorders comprise a variety of autosomal-dominant genetic symptoms characterized by abnormal dentin structure affecting either the primary or both the primary and secondary teeth. The vital role of Ambn in amelogenesis has been confirmed experimentally using mouse models. Only two cases have been reported of mutations of AMBN associated with non-syndromic human AI. However, no AMBN missense mutations have been reported to be associated with both human AI and dentin disorders. We recruited one kindred with autosomal-dominant amelogenesis imperfecta (ADAI) and dentinogenesis imperfecta/dysplasia characterized by generalized severe enamel and dentin defects. Whole exome sequencing of the proband identified a novel heterozygous C-T point mutation at nucleotide position 1069 of the AMBN gene, causing a Pro to Ser mutation at the conserved amino acid position 357 of the protein. Exfoliated third molar teeth from the affected family members were found to have enamel and dentin of lower mineral density than control teeth, with thinner and easily fractured enamel, short and thick roots, and pulp obliteration. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that an AMBN missense mutation causes non-syndromic human AI and dentin disorders.
