Compared with percutaneous oxygen saturation(SpO 2), cerebral regional tissue oxygen saturation(CrSO 2)reflects the mixed oxygen saturation of brain tissue, and its change is closely correlated with the metabolism of brain tissue after birth.Near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS)is a non-invasive continuous monitoring technology, which can provide information about changes in blood flow and damage of brain tissue.For now, NIRS has been used as a routine monitoring method in some neonatal intensive care units.Although the current research has not clearly proposed the diagnostic significance of NIRS in neonatal brain injury, current studies have found that detecting changes in CrSO 2 and corresponding interventions in abnormal values can reduce the incidence of brain injury in premature infants.The relationship between CrSO 2 and brain injury and the factors affecting CrSO 2 are still the current research hotspots.This article reviews the factors affecting the changes of CrSO 2 and clinical interventions to maintain its stability.

Objective: To analyse correlation of bispectral index,spectral edge frequency of electroencephalogram with midazolam-induced sedation. Method: 30ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ adult patients, undergoing elective surgery under regional anesthesia were randomly devided into three groups according to intravenous bolus doses of midazolam,i, e. group Ⅰ:0.05mg?kg~(-1),group Ⅱ:0.1mg?kg~(-1),group Ⅲ:0.2mg?kg~(-1). After an intravenous bolus dose of mida zolam was administered,both bispectral index (BIS), 95% spectral edge freguency (SEF) of electroencephalogram were monitored and their correlation with midazolam induced sedation was analysed. Result: Both BIS and 95% SEF-correlated with midazolam-induced sedation significantly (r= 0.86,0.73, P

Objective To study the impact of postoperative aerobic exercise on the cardiac function of breast cancer patients during anthracyclines-based chemotherapy. Methods Sixty cases of female breast cancer pa-tients, from June 2014 to December 2015 for anthracyclines-based chemotherapy, were randomly divided into ex-perimental group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30). Four cycles of conventional anthracyclines-based chemotherapy were conducted in control group, while three times of aerobic exercise per week were added in exper-imental group until the end of treatment course apart from conventional treatment. The peak oxygen consumption (VO2max) and maximum heart rate (HRmax) were measured before and after chemotherapy in both groups, ac-companied by ECG monitoring and blood collecting to measure the changes in their N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), serum creatinine (SCr) and kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB). Results No significant differ-ences in various indicators before chemotherapy were reported between two groups (P>0.05). After chemotherapy, VO2 max/kg [(21.9 ± 3.6) vs. (14.5 ± 2.8) mL/(min·kg)], VO2 max [(1 523 ± 186) vs. (911 ± 185) mL/min] and HRmax[(115 ± 15) vs. (129 ± 16) beats/min] in experimental group were significantly improved when com-pared with those in control group; significant differences in hematological levels and ECG changes were also ob-served between two groups. Conclusion Aerobic exercise during chemotherapy can mitigate the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines to patients, which provides a new idea and therapy to reduce the incidence of clinical cardiovascular events induced by anthracyclines-based chemotherapy.

Objective To analyze the mutations of IDS gene in a mucopolysaccharidosis type Ⅱ (MPS Ⅱ) family and to make prenatal diagnosis on the high-risk fetus which has been pregnant for eleven weeks.Methods IDS gene was analyzed by bidirectional DNA sequencing in 2 patients and their mother,and 5 unaffected individuals.Prenatal diagnosis for the high-risk fetus was performed by chorionic villus sampling after the genotypes was identified.Results The mutation c.344delA (N115fsX15) was detected in the two patients,and the mother of patients carried the heterozygous c.344delA (N115fsX15) mutation.None of the mutant was detected in the 5 unaffected subjects.The fetus carried c.344delA (N115fsX15) heterozygous mutation and was a carrier.Conclusion The deletion mutation c.344delA (N115fsX15) is causative to the pedigree of MPS Ⅱ,and prenatal diagnosis is the efficient method to avoid defect birth.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion in treating diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS). Method Ninety D-IBS patients were randomized into an acupuncture-moxibustion group (acupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion), an acupuncture group, and a Western medication group (Pinaverium bromide), 30 patients in each group. The clinical effect, symptom score, and quality of life in the 3 groups were observed. Result The general clinical effect of the acupuncture-moxibustion group was significantly higher than that of the acupuncture group and Western-medication group (P＜0.05), but there was no significant difference in comparing the total effective rate between the acupuncture group and acupuncture-moxibustion group (P>0.05). After treatment, the Western medication group showed marked decreases in abdominal pain, abdominal distension and discomfort, defecation property, and defecation frequency (P＜0.01);the acupuncture group showed significant decreases in abdominal pain, abdominal distension and discomfort, mucous stool, and appetite (P＜0.05, P＜0.01); the acupuncture-moxibustion group had significant decreases in abdominal pain, abdominal distension and discomfort, defecation property, defecation frequency, mucous stool, and appetite (P＜0.01). The quality of life score changed significantly in all groups after treatment (P＜0.05, P＜0.01);the changes of quality of life score in the acupuncture group and acupuncture-moxibustion group were both significantly higher than that in the Western-medication group (P＜0.01);the change of quality of life score in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was significantly higher than that in the acupuncture group (P＜0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion and acupuncture alone both can produce a higher therapeutic efficacy than Pinaverium bromide in treating D-IBS; acupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion is superior to acupuncture alone.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Genistein (GST) on cell cycle and apoptosis in PC12 cells transfected App695MT gene.MethodsPC12 cells were transfected with pIRES2-EGFP plasmid or pIRES2-EGFP/APP695MT expression plasmid,and then were divided into control vectortransfected group,APP695 transfected group and GST treatment group.Flow cytometry was applied to detect cell cycle and apoptosis,laser confocal microscope was used to observe morphological changes of cell apoptosis.ResultsCompared with control vectortransfected group,PC12 cells in APP695 transfected group increased significantly in G0 and G1 phase,and less into S phase,cell proliferation index was decreased significantly( (55.6 ±0.57)％,P＜0.0l ),apoptosis rate was increased significantly( (77.10 ± 12.53)％,P＜0.01 ).Emitted red fluorescence increased significantly when cell death,cell body swelling,organelle disintegration,nuclear condensation or fragmentation.Compared with APP695 transfected group,PC12 cells in GST( 15μ mol/L) treatment group,decreased significantly in G0 and G1 phase,and more into S phase,cell proliferation index was increased significantly ( ( 61.57 ± 0.47 ) ％,P ＜ 0.01 ),apoptosis rate was decreased significantly ( (46.00 ± 8.43 ) ％,P ＜ 0.01 ).Cell death was significantly reduced red fluorescence,emitted green fluorescence was significantly enhanced,compared with APP695 transfected group cell morphology improved.ConclusionGST can improve APP695MT gene caused cell cycle arrest,promote cell to S phase transition,reduce apoptosis rate in PC12 cells,and have a protective effect on transfected cells.

Purpose Polypoid endometriosis is an uncommon and distinctive variant of endometriosis, and its detailed histopathological features have been investigated and analysed. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 10 cases with polypoid endometrio-sis by comparing clinical data, histopathologic and immunohistochemical changes. Results The patients were 27 to 54 years ( mean 39. 4 years) of age. The most common clinical presentations were a pelvic mass. The intraoperative findings suggested a neoplasm. Sites of involvement in order of frequency included ovary, uterine serosa and cervix. Polypoid, pink, gray or tan masses ranged up to 9 cm in maximal dimension. On microscopic examination, the polypoid masses were composed of an admixture of endometriotic glands and stroma. Most commonly glandular architectural patterns were simple hyperplasia. Tubal epithelial metaplasia was common. The stroma was fibrous, resembling to some extent the stroma of the endometrial polyp and atypical stromal cells can be seen. Nine cases were associated with usual endometriosis. Follow-up data in nine patients indicated that all of patients were alive without evidence of re-sidual disease. The main lesion in the differential diagnosis is a mullerian adenosarcoma. Conclusion Polypoid endometriosis is a rare manifestation of endometriosis, and probably is overgrowth of local ectopic endometrium based on endometriosis. Understanding of such lesions is avoided misdiagnosing for other benign or malignant tumors on clincal, intraoperative or pathologic assesment, and influ-ences the clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between interleukin (IL)-34 and bone erosions in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients.Methods Forty PsA patients,20 psoriasis (Ps) patients and 20 healthy volunteers were recruited into this study.The levels of IL-34 and osteoclast related cytokines [including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL),osteoclast precursors (OPG)] were detected in the serum samples of all subjects.The correlations among IL-34,the number of osteoclast precursors (OCP),disease activity and imaging scores were analyzed.All data were analyzed by graphpad prism 6.Differences between groups was analyzed with One-way analysis of variance,q tests,and Spearman's correlation was used to explore the relation between disease activity/radiographic scores and laboratory results and followed by linear regressions.Results The serum level of IL-34 in patients with PsA [(328±476) pg/ml] was higher than that in Ps [(33±52) pg/ml,q =3.92,P＜0.01] and healthy controls [(32±32) pg/ml,q =3.93,P＜0.01],the erosive PsA group were higher than the non-erosive PsA group [(449±527) pg/ml and (47±24) pg/ml,q=4.04,P＜0.01].The levels of TNF-α,RANKL and OCP in patients with PsA [(125±79) pg/ml,(488± 475) pg/ml and (17.7±4.8) 5 sigh views] were higher than those in PS [(40±22) pg/ml,(26±3) pg/ml and (5.2± 0.8),q=7.32,6.14 and 2.94,P＜0.01] and healthy controls [(41±19) pg/ml,(65±8) pg/ml and (6.2±1.8),q=6.67,5.62 and 2.71,P＜0.01],whereas the OPG/RANKL ratio in PsA patients (0.5±0.4) was significantly lower than Ps patients (4.3±2.7,q=-3.30,P＜0.01) and healthy controls (1.8±0.6,q=-1.72,P＜0.01).IL-34,TNF-α and RANKL levels were all positively correlated with OCP (r=0.10,P＜0.05;r=0.12,P＜0.05;r=0.13,P＜0.(5,respectively).Conclusion The level of IL-34 is not only high in patients with PsA but also positively correlates with the number of OCP.In PsA,IL-34 is probably related to the OCP and osteoclast differentiation,and further participates in the process of bone destruction.Therefore,IL-34 is promising to become a new target or alternative choice for the treatment of PsA.

Linoleic acid (C18∶2n-6) and ?-linolenic acid (C18∶3n-3) are found widely in fungi, plants and some lower animals. However, they can not be synthesized in mammals due to lack of △12 and ?-3 fatty acid desaturases. To enable endogenous production of essential fatty acids in mammalian cells, here the stable expression of a Caenorhabditis elegans gene FAT-2 encoding △12 fatty acid desaturase in CHO cells was reported. First, the FAT-2 coding sequence was cloned by RT-PCR. To facilitate high level synthesis of heterogeneous protein, the codon usage of the fatty acid desaturase genes was optimized according to the codon preference of mouse by site-directed mutagenesis, 2 synonymous mutations were introduced into FAT-2 gene by overlapping PCR. The codon-modified gene was finally fused to pBudCE4.1 vector (Invitrogen) under the control of CMV promoter. The expression vector pBudCE-FAT2 was linearized with NheⅠ, and then transfected CHO cells, the cells were under Zeocin selection for nine days and then propagated, then the transfected cells were harvested. The genome and total RNA were isolated for PCR and Norhern blot ananlysis. The results revealed that FAT-2 gene has been integrated into the genome of CHO cells and expressed properly. Fatty acids of total cellular lipids were analyzed by gas chromatography. The results indicate that the expression and function of △-12 fatty acid desaturase resulted in accumulation of linoleic acid. The levels of linoleic acid in transgenic cells were 2.4-fold higher than those in wild-type cells. The moderate linoleic acid in CHO cells was derived from cell culture media uptaken by cell membrane. The results demonstrate that a heterogenous desaturase gene can function well in mammalian cells and prove that transgenic approach is an efficient strategy for changing fatty acid composition of mammals.
