365 low birth weight infants have been born inour Obstetric Department in the past two years. Aretrospective investigation of their morthers' con-ditions during pregnancy and delivery which had aneffect on their babies weight was done. The resultsshowed that incidence of low birth weight infantswas 7. 99% and mortality rate was 15. 07%. The care.X~2 test indicated that hypertention syndrome ofpregnancy and anemia which the mothers sufferedfrom were the main diseases which affected birthweight of infants. The analysis of multiple stepwiseregression showed that the most dangerous factorswere peasant mothers, premature and neonate ab-normity. So we must strengthen perinatal healthcare.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus (TAC) for treatment of Henoch-SchSnlein purpura nephritis in children.Methods Forty children with Henoch-SchSnlein purpura nephritis (pathological grade Ⅲ-Ⅵ) in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from January 2013 to June 2016 were selected and divided into TAC group (n =19) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) group (n =21).The children in TAC group were given TAC orally;the children in CTX group were given CTX pulse therapy intravenously.The 24 h urine protein,urine red blood cell count,serum albumin,serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen of children before treatment and after 6 months treatment were observed and compared between the two groups.The treatment effects and adverse reactions of patients were observed and compared between the two groups.Results There was no statistic difference in the 24 h urine protein,urine red blood cells count,serum albumin,blood creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels of children between the two groups before treatment (P ＞ 0.05).The 24 h urinary protein and urine red blood cells count of children after 6 months of treatment in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P ＜ 0.05);there was no statistic difference in the serum albumin,serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels of children in the two groups before treatment and after 6 months of treatment (P ＞ 0.05).Mter 6 months of treatment,the 24 h urine protein and urine red blood cells count of children in TAC group were significantly lower than those in the CTX group (P ＜ 0.05);there was no statistic difference in the serum albumin,serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels of children between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).After 6 months treatment,the effective rate of children in the TAC group was significantly higher than that in the CTX group (x2 =4.607,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions of children in the TAC group was significantly lower than that in the CTX group (x2 =4.043,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion TAC is effective in treatment of Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis in children.It is easy to take,and has less adverse reactions.

Objective To observe the effects of AMPK activation on cancer cell apoptosis and to investigate the underlying mechanism and its significance to cancer therapy.Methods Human cervical cancer HeLa-S3 cells were divided into six groups:DMSO control,5 μmol/L CD437,CD437+Compound C,CD437+AICAR,Compound C,AICAR.Apoptosis rates in every groups induced by CD437 and other factors were determined by FACS and confirmed with clave Caspase-3 expression by Western blot analysis.Finally,apoptosis rates were detected in HeLa-S3 cells induced by the above factors after wt-LKB1 reintroduction by plasmid transfection.Results FACS results showed that treatment with 5 μmol/L CD437 for 8 hours could induce Hela-S3 cells apoptosis by (87.42±5.95) ％.Co-incubation with 20 μmol/L compound C enhanced apoptotic effect of CD437 by (86.42±5.95) ％,while co-incubation with 2 mmol/L AICAR markedly reduced cell apoptosis induced by CD437 [(51.04±8.26) ％] (P ＜ 0.05).Re-introduction of wt-LKB1 by plasmid transfection attenuated the protective effect of AICAR in CD437 induced apoptosis.Conclusion Endogeneous AMPK activation exerts a protective effect in HeLa-S3 ceils.This effect could be attenuated by re-introduction of wt-LKB1.

OBJECTIVE:To study the efficacy of Urokinase vs.Low Molecular Weight Heparin in the treatment of acute pulmonary thromboembolism.METHODS:A total of 35 patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism who had no past history of heart and lung diseases were enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups following ultrasonography and pulmonary ventilation/perfusion scanning:15 were given thrombolysis therapy with urokinase,and 20 given anticoagulation therapy with low molecular weight heparin.Symptoms,arterial blood gas analysis,electrocardiogram,echocardiogram were compared in two groups before and after treatment.RESULTS:The patients receiving thrombolysis therapy had better improvement in symptoms,arterial blood gas index,echocardiogram and the pulmonary ventilation/perfusion scanning than in those receiving anticoagulation therapy(P

Objective To investigate the intrauterine growth characteristics of twins and birthweight discordant twins (discordant twins ).MethodsTotal of 1010 twin pregnancies (2020 fetuses) with complete delivery records from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,the First and Third Affiliated Hospital of SUN Yat-sen University between January 1,2000 and July 31,2010 were studied retrospectively.One handred and ninteen cases (238 fetuses) with intrapair birthweight difference ≥25％ were determined as the discordant twins group,and the other 891 cases (1782 fetuses) with intrapair birthweight difference ＜ 25％ were identified as the concordant twins group.The singleton control group included 4042 singleton pregnancies in the same period.Results ( 1 ) Comparison of clinical data between the twins groups:the birthweight of larger-twin,smaller-twin and intrapair birthweight difference in the discordant twins group and the concordant twins group were ( 2090± 827 ) g,( 1392 ± 592 ) g,( 33.9 ±9.3 ) ％,and ( 2408 ± 543 ) g,( 2191 ± 505 ) g,( 8.9 ± 6.5 ) ％,respectively,with significant differences (P＜0.01).The incidence of discordant twins was 11.78％ (119/1010).Compared with the concordant twins group,the discordant twins group bad higher proportion of monochorionic twins,and higher prevalence of pregnancy complications such as late miscarriage,abnormal umbilical insertion,twin-twin transfusion syndrome and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy ( P ＜ 0.05 ).( 2 ) The characteristics of twin birthweight distribution:① In all the 2020 twins,80.05％ (1617/2020) fetuses had birthweight below the 50th percentile of the singleton control group,while 23.71％ (479/2020) feeuses got birthweight below the 10th percentile of the singleton control group.② After 19th gestational week,the 50th and 90th percentile of all twins' birthweight were lower than those of singletons.After 38th gestational week,the birthweight of singletons kept increasing and reached its peak at 41 th week,while the birthweight of twins reached its peak at 38th week,followed by a decline at 39 weeks,which was even lower than the 10th percentile of the singleton control group.③ The distribution of birthweight of larger- and smaller-twin in the discordant twins group:65 (54.6％,65/119) larger-twins and one (0.8％,1/119) smaller-twin had birthweight above the 50th percentile of all twins,while 5 (4.2％,5/119) larger-twins and 97 ( 81.5％,97/119 ) smaller-twins got birthweight below the 10th percentile of all twins.Conclusions ( 1 ) The patterns of birthweight curves for each gestational week are different between twins and singletons.In order to evaluate the growth of twins, birthweight reference for twins shoull be employed.( 2 ) According to the reference of twins birthweight,the most discordant twins are complicated with fetal growth restriction at least in one twin.

Objective To observe the characteristic of precancerous lesions and early gastric carcinoma with narrow belt imaging technology. Methods The 74 patients were enrolled in this study. The same case was used as self-control. The operation was made in pain-less under anesthesia. When the mirror was advanced to the duodenal descending segment, an ordinary microscope mode was used and the mirror was back to Mallory, the lesions found were recorded, the image was zoomed in with low-fold and observed (1.4,1.6,1.8 times). Suspicious lesions were collected and biopsies were made. Results Chronic gastritis could be commonly found in type A and AB. Mild in-testinalization and mild atypical hyperplasia could be commonly found in mixed type holding type C, type BC and AB. Moderate atypical hy-perplasia could be found in type CD and AC, and heavy atypical hyperplasia in type CD and D. Early gastric cancers (superficial depressed) were seen in type BC and irregular thick type A. Advanced gastric cancers were in type CD, D and C. Helicobacter pylori infection were common in type A and B. Protruded type, sunken type were not easily missed with common endoscopic and NBI. But "for ordinary focus of infection, it was easily missed with common endoscopic, while less with NBI. Conclusion NBI is a simple and safe method, which can be used to find precancerous lesions and early gastric cancer lesions more easily. It will enlaance the diagnosis rate of precancerous lesions and early gastric cancer as positive rate of biopsy was markedly improved.

Objective This research aimed to investigate the function mechanism of lung injury after acute pulmonary embolism.Methods 30 healthy New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into five groups:control group (with venepuncture applied) and model groups including none-saline (NS) control group,exogenos laptin low doses group,medium dose group and high dose group.ELISA was applied to examine the TNF-αand IL-1β in serum.Results TNF-α and IL-1β content in saline group were higher than that in control group,and the results were statistically significant.In medium dose (50 μg/kg) group,TNF-α and IL-1β levels decreased apparently and the results were statistically significant.In low doses (20 μg/kg) group,TNF-α and IL-1β levels decreased,but the results were not statistically significant.In high dose (100 μg/kg) group,TNF-α and IL-1β levels increased on the contrary.Conclusion Suitable dose of leptin will lead the decrease of postoperative levels of TNF-α and IL-1β after acute pulmonary embolism,which thus have protection function to the injured lung.

Objective To summarize the CT features of pulmonary mucormycosis in post hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients with leukemia,to provide timely and accurate guidance for clinical treatment.Methods 9 pulmonary mucormycosis in post HSCT patients with leukemia confirmed by surgery,biopsy and sputum culture were analyzed retrospectively.Distribution,morphology and CT features of the disease were analyzed and summarized.All patients were underwent non-enhanced MSCT.Results Reversed halo sign (n=7);patchy ground glass opacity (GGO) (n =5);bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules and nodular GGO (n=3);bilateral multiple pulmonary micro-cysts with spiculate boundary (n=1);pleural effusion (n=2);pneumo-mediastinum (n 1) were seen.Two or more than two CT signs were seen in some patients.The interval time between the appeared reversed halo sign and the transplantation were 0.5-19 months in 7 patients,which median time was 10 months and 6 cases (85.7％) appeared within 18months.8 patients (88.9 ％) presented cough,expectorated white or yellow phlegm,among them,4 cases (50 ％) presented bloodstained sputum or hemoptysis.3 cases (37.5 ％) presented left chest pain.1 case was asymptomatic.6 patients (66.7 ％) presented significant increased body temperature with the range from 38.4 ℃ to 39.6 C,the median was 39 C.3 patients (33.3％) showed normal temperature.The WBC counting was between 0.16-3.31 × 109/L,the median was 0.7 × 109/L.The neutrophil cell counting was between 0-2.46 × 109/L,with the median of 0.09 × 109/L.Among them,7 patients (77.8％) found reversed halo sign with neutrophil counting between 0-1.63 × 109/L,and the median was 0.09 × 109/L.Conclusion Various imaging manifestations of pulmonary mucormycosis are seen in post HSCT patients with leukemia.When patients is in agranulocytosis phase after transplantation HSCT,it is highly suggested pulmonary mucormycosis infection when the characteristic reversed halo sign is found.

Objective:To investigate the key mechanism of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) inducing the expression of interleukin-17D (IL-17D) in lung cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) and promoting the recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).Methods:C57BL/6 mice were established for B16 lung melanoma metastasis model (tumor model group), and control group was set up, 6 mice in each group. Flow cytometry (FACS) was used to detect the lung CAF and the changes of its ability to secrete IL-17D and the proportion of MDSCs in tumor mice. The changes of TGF-β level in lung tumor were examined by ELISA and quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Lung fibroblasts were screened by FACS, and the effects of TGF-β on the secretion of IL-17D, C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL)2 and CCL7 in fibroblasts were detected by RT-PCR. The migration of MDSCs under the condition of TGF-β stimulating fibroblasts was detected by Transwell.Results:The proportion of CAF (CD45 -CD326 -CD31 -) in the tumor model group was higher than that in the control group [(28.02±2.23)% vs. (7.35±2.14)%, t=9.956, P<0.001]. The ability of CAF to secrete IL-17D in the tumor model group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(38.27±2.93)% vs. (19.04±3.16)%, t=5.995, P=0.001]. The proportion of MDSCs in the tumor model group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(12.93±1.27)% vs. (8.21±1.40)%, t=4.804, P=0.009]. Compared with the control group, the protein and transcription levels of TGF-β in lung of the tumor model group were significantly increased [(1 685.07±135.61) ng/L vs. (1 047.98±68.50) ng/L, t=5.051, P=0.002; 2.17±0.03 vs. 1.00±0.05, t=51.237, P<0.001]. In vitro, lung fibroblasts were stimulated with different concentrations of TGF-β (0, 5 and 10 μg/L) for 24 hours, the relative expressions of IL-17D mRNA secreted by stimulated fibroblasts were 0.42±0.01, 0.67±0.01 and 0.84±0.04 respectively, the relative expressions of CCL2 mRNA in each group were 0.89±0.08, 1.08±0.04, 1.19±0.01 and CCL7 were 0.53±0.05, 0.65±0.04, 0.74±0.03 respectively. With the increase of TGF-β concentration, the expression levels of IL-17D, CCL2 and CCL7 in fibroblasts were significantly increased ( F=57.384, P<0.001; F=15.802, P=0.004; F=14.544, P=0.005). In addition, compared with the control group (0 μg/L TGF-β), fibroblasts treated with 10 μg/L TGF-β for 24 hours could promote the migration of MDSCs in spleen of tumor mice [(9.59±0.21)% vs. (2.14±0.24)%, t=6.585, P<0.001]. Conclusion:TGF-β can induce high expression of IL-17D in lung CAF, which is an important factor in promoting the expressions of CCL2 and CCL7 and the migration of MDSCs in tumor microenvironment.
