ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effects of indomethacin(IN) on proliferation and DNA synthesis of cultured human fetal retinal pigment epithelium(hRPE) cells in vitro.MethodsPrimary culture and subculture of hRPE cells were established in vitro first.Cultured hRPE cells were treated by various concentrations 50,100,200,400,600 μ mol/L(final concentration)of IN for 24h.After 24h,the amount of DNA in RPE cells was determined by the absorbance at 280nm of Nucleic Acid δ Protein Analysis.Cells proliferation of RPE were measured with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay method by adding 100,200,400,600,800,1000μ mol/L(final concentration) of IN for 12h.ResultsAfter added various concentrations of IN,the DNA concentrations were ( 101.1712± 15.5124),( 88.6400± 13.5845),( 72.3651± 7.7969),( 59.9089± 10.7229),( 51.2236± 8.7757)μg/ml respectively,P values were 0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000(q test) as compared to that ( 213.7351± 83.1572)μg/ml in 0μg/L IN.The A values added 100,200,400,600,800,1000μmol/L of IN were ( 0.2367± 0.0546),( 0.1687± 0.0695),( 0.0819± 0.03461),( 0.0656± 0.01759),( 0.0554± 0.02865),( 0.0508± 0.02775)respectively,P values were 0 .158,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000(q test) as compared to ( 0.2674± 0. 04302) of A value of 0ug/L IN.ConclusionThe data suggested that IN can inhibit DNA synthesis and proliferation of hRPE cells in vitro in a dose dependent manner.

Objective To observe the effect of early intervention on motor and mental development in premature infants. Methods 108 cases of hospital-born premature infants were divided into early intervention group (n=57) and control group (n=51). All the cases accepted conventional treatment and health-care, and the intervention group accepted the early intervention in addition. They were assessed with psychomotor development index (PDI) and mental development index (MDI) of Bayley Scales of Infant Development when they were 1 or 2 years old. The incidence of cerebral palsy when they were 2 years old were recorded. Results 2 cases (1 for each) lost during the follow-up.The PDI and MDI were more in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05), both as the 1 and 2 years old. The incidence of cerebral palsy was less in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The early intervention can promote mental and motor development in premature infants, and reduce the incidence of cerebral palsy later.

Objective To observe the effect of Rood therapy intervened very early on development of premature infants. Methods 148 hospital-born infants gestated 32 weeks with high risk of brain injury were divided into intervention group (n=74) and control group (n=74).All the cases accepted routine treatment and nursing, and the intervention group accepted Rood therapy in addition. They were followed up to 28th day, assessed with Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment (NBNA). Results The NBNA score was more in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05) in all the sub-scores except primitive reflexes. Conclusion Rood therapy is useful to improve the neural development in premature infants in 32 to 36 weeks.

Objective To investigate the effect of scalp acupuncture on cerebral blood flow and gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods From January to November, 2016, 79 children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into con-ventional group (n=40) and scalp acupuncture group (n=39). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation treatment, and the scalp acu-puncture group was given scalp acupuncture in addition, for five months. The systolic blood flow velocity (Vs), mean flow velocity of cere-bral artery (Vm) and vascular resistance index (RI) of anterior cerebral artery (ACA), middle cerebral artery (MCA) and posterior cerebral artery (PCA) before and after treatment were assessed with color transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD). The clinical effect was evaluated with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Results Five cases dropped out during the follow-up, three cases in the con-ventional group and two cases in the scalp acupuncture group. There was no significant difference in all the indexes between two groups be-fore treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the Vs and Vm of ACA, MCA and PCA improved (t>2.051, P<0.05), no improvement was found in the RI of ACA, MCA and PCA in the conventional group (t<1.1631, P>0.05), and they decreased in the scalp acupuncture group (t>2.659, P<0.05). After treatment, the Vs and Vm of ACA, MCA and PCA were higher in the scalp acupuncture group than in the conventional group (t>2.098, P<0.05), the RI of ACA was lower in the scalp acupuncture group than in the conventional group (t=2.375, P<0.05), and no signifi-cant difference was found in the RI of MCA and PCA between two groups (t<1.637, P>0.05). The total effective rate was higher in the scalp acupuncture group than in the conventional group (χ2=6.887, P<0.05). Conclusion Scalp acupuncture facilitates to increase the cerebral blood flow, decrease the vascular resistance, and improve gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
