Objective To clarify the features and early diagnosis of the traumatic diaphragmatocele associated with pelvic fracture. Methods The clinical materials of 486 multiple injuried patients with pelvic fractures as main trauma were retrospectively analysed. The pathogenesis, clinical manifestation and reasons for misdiagnosis in 9 cases of traumatic diaphragmatocele were analysed. Results In this series, the incidence of the traumatic diaphragmatocele was 1.9%(9 of 486). Because of under recognition of this associated injury, 7 in 9 cases of traumatic diaphagmatocele were misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. The incidence of misdiagnosis was 77.8% in this series. Conclusion The main reason for the occurrence of diaphragmatocele was the rapid increase of the intra abdominal pressure which resulted in rupture of the weak area of the diaphragm. Type B1 pelvic fracture can cause traumatic diaphragmatocele easily. The symptoms of the diaphragm hernia are easily overlooked when the trauma is serious or the patient is in shock. Because the early symptoms are not often evident and typical, the doctor can not notice it thoroughly. The main reason for misdiagnosis of the diaphragm hernia is the poor clinical presentation and sign of the diaphragmtocele which initially is very similar to that of the thoraco abdominal injury. In the case with chest and abdominal symptoms concomitant with pelvic fracture should be observed carefully and the chest and abdominal radiographs should be taken as soon as possible. Closed attention should be paid to diaphragmatocele when treating a pelvic fracture in consideration of 7 out of 9 patients being misdiagnosed in this series.

AimTo investigate the protective effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) from the Chinese cobra venom on spinal neurons after sciatic nerve lesion. Methods Fourty Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups each containing 20 animals. After surgical crush lesion on the bilateral sciatic nerve, the rats were injected NGF into the target muscle every day. On the d 5 and d 10 after operation, enzyme histochemistry technique was used to show acetycholinesterase(AchE) activity of the motoneurons in L5～S2 spinal cord anterior hornandfluorideresistantacidphophatase (FRAP) activity of substantia gelatinosa in L5～ S2 spinal cord posterior horn. The activity of enzyme was analysed with computer image analysis system. Results Compared with the control group, the activity of FRAP in NGF group was higher on the d 5 and d 10 after operation and the activity of AchE in NGF group was higher on the d 10 after operation. ConclusionIt is demonstrated that NGF could protect the mononeurons in spinal cord anterior horn and the sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia after axotomy.

The chitosan scaffolds with different deacetylated degree were prepared in this study. The morphology of scaffolds were observed using SEM, and the porosity, the water absorbing swelling ratio and the degradation were examined both in vitro and in vitro. The results showed that the chitosan scaffolds with different deacetylated degree exhibited three-dimensional structure with high porosity. With increasing of deacetylated degree, their porosities were 93.46%, 90.02% and 86.71%, respectively. The swelling ratios of chitosan scaffolds were 820%, 803% and 772%, respectively. At the fourth week, the degradation rates were 30.44%, 22.08% and 17.10% in vitro, respectively; while the corresponding rates were 57.48%, 40.23%, 29.53% in vivo respectively. The degradation rate of chitosan scaffold was negatively correlated to deacetylated degree. Furthermore, it showed that the speed of degradation in vivo was faster than that in vitro. We concluded that controlling the deacetylated degree of chitosan can provide a well-matched degradable scaffold material for the reparation of cartilage defects.

OBJECTIVETo investigate thirdhand smoke (THS) pollution in certain places of Nanjing, as well as to analyze its distribution characteristics.

METHODSFrom March to May, 2014, we selected 3 types of places (residencies, public places and transportation vehicles) that were close to people's living in Jianye,Yuhua,Jiangning,Xuanwu,Gulou and Pukou districts of Nanjing city.For each of the above 3 types of places, 2-3 smoking and non-smoking (smoking ban) locations were investigated, totally 51 locations, 9-10 samples were collected each location, totally 477 samples. The surface wipe sampling method in conjunction with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was utilized to quantify the levels of nicotine that served as the tracer of THS pollution.One-way ANOVA and t-tests were employed to compare the levels of nicotine collected at different places and locations.

RESULTSTotally 477 samples were collected in this study, of which 27.0% was from residencies (129/477), 61.0% (291/477) from public places and 11.9% (57/477) from transportations. The levels of indoor surface nicotine in smoking residences, public places and transportations were (214 ± 55),(1 408 ± 177) and (1 511 ± 785) µg/m(2), respectively, which were all higher than those in the corresponding non-smoking places ((23 ± 9),(62 ± 11), and (46 ± 15) µg/m(2); t values were 13.79, 13.15, 3.45, respectively. P values were <0.001, <0.001 and 0.006, respectively).In the smoking places, the levels of surface nicotine on walls, desks, sofas, cabinets, door backsides and air conditioning openings were (171 ± 62),(232 ± 38),(373 ± 151),(903 ± 239), (978 ± 212), (1 721 ± 517) µg/m(2) (F = 7.06, P = 0.009).In the smoking condition, the levels of surface nicotine collected from public places were higher (F = 9.25, P = 0.024), while under non-smoking (smoking ban) conditions, the levels of surface nicotine collected from residences were lower (F = 7.88, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONTHS pollution was widespread in public places, residences and transportations in Nanjing city, which was more serious in the smoking environments than non-smoking (smoking ban) environments; the contamination was less serious in non-smoking (smoking ban) private residences; in the smoking condition, the levels of surface nicotine were relatively high at locations close to air conditioning openings, door backsides and cabinets.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between maternal tea consumption and birth outcomes. Methods: From January 2005 to December 2010, pregnant women were recruited from Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Hospital. The basic information and the situation of tea consumption during pregnancy were investigated using questionnaire and the birth outcomes of newborns were followed up. Finally, 500 pairs of mothers and infants with complete and standard-compliant data were included in the analysis. The differences of birth outcomes between the tea consumption group and the non tea consumption group were compared and the associations between tea consumption and birth outcomes were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. Results: Mother's tea consumption rate was 32.8% (164 cases) during pregnancy. The rate of low birth weight in the tea consumption group was (5.5%, 9 cases) and higher than that in the non-tea consumption group (2.1%, 7 cases) (P=0.042). There was no significant difference in the rate of premature birth, small for gestational age, fetal distress, and macrosomia between the two groups After the adjustment of maternal age, education level, family income, weight gain during pregnancy, pre-pregnancy BMI, parity, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, neonatal gender and gestational age, compared with non-tea consumption group, there was a positive effect on low birth weight, OR(95%CI) was 4.76 (1.06-21.48). The OR (95%CI) value of the low birth weight risk of the tea group was 5.30 (1.04-26.92) compared with the non-tea consumption group after the adjustment of additional factors such as passive smoking, coffee consumption, folic acid supplement, mineral supplement, carbonated beverage consumption. Simultaneously, compared with non-tea consumption group, there was no statistically significant association between tea consumption during pregnancy and premature birth, small for gestational age, fetal distress and macrosomia (P>0.05). Conclusion Tea consumption during pregnancy was a risk factor for low birth weight in offspring.

The formulations of pramipexole hydrochloride sustained-release tablets were screened by single factor test and optimized by Box-Behnken design. The effects of the viscosity and content of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, as well as the insoluble sustained-release material combined with HPMC K100M on the in vitro release behavior were investigated. After single factor screening, a three-factor, three-level Box-Behnken design was used for optimization using the contents of HPMC K100, Eudragit RSPO and Eudragit L100 as independent variables, and the cumulative release at different time as responses. The optimal range of the three-factor optimized by Box-Behnken design, one of the optimized formulations was achieved with HPMC K100M of 101. 5 mg, Eudragit RSPO of 98 mg, and Eudragit L100 of 13. 7 mg, and the observed responses of the optimized formulation were very close to the predicted values. The in vitro drug release mechanism of the tablet was studied by drug released model fitted with different equations. The results explained that Eudragit RSPO promoted the release of the pramipexole hydrochloride, while Eudragit L100 blocked the release, and there was an antagonism between them. In conclusion, the drug release behavior of optimized formulations prepared by Eudragit RSPO/L100 was stable, less pH-dependent, which improved the drug bioavailability in vivo.
