1.Progressin in evidence-based study of cerebral white matter lesions in preterm neonates
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(3):287-290
Brain injury of premature infant is a hot topic in the neonatal clinical study. Early diagnosis and intervention can improve the prognosis of premature infants. Although there are some interventions for brain injury of premature infants, most of them do not have evidence-based study to support the clinical application. Antenatal application of magnesium sulfate for pregnant women and application of erythropoietin for preterm infants may be the most promising interventions. Avoiding prematurity and brain damage is the key interventions for brain damage of premature infants.

Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2015;(4):296-298
Objective To explore the risk factors of pregnancy complications in patients with gestationaldiabetesmellitus(GDM).Methods 134patientswithGDMweredividedintocontrolgroup without complication (n= 38) and complication group(n= 96).Serum fasting levels of glucose (FPG) , insulin ,lipid and C‐reactive protein (C‐RP) were measured. Both maternal and fetal complications of pregnancy were recorded. Results The levels of C‐RP ,FPG ,progestation BMI and lategestation BMI were significantly increased in complication group than in control group [(5.46 ± 4.20) vs (2.60 ± 2.76) mg/L ,(5.68 ± 1.36) vs (5.25 ± 0.77)mmol/L ,(24.79 ± 3.92) vs (23.03 ± 2.51)kg/m2 ,(29.05 ± 3.79) vs (27.25 ± 2.58)kg/m2 respectively ,P< 0.05].The C‐RP level is significantly associated with FPG.Logistic analysis showed that maternal complications were significantly related to lategestation BMI ,C‐RP , TC and HDL‐C.Infant complications were significantly related to C‐RP. Conclusion C‐RP ,lipid and late gestation BMI play important roles in the development of maternal‐neonatal complications during pregnancy. Keeping rational levels of glucose ,lipid and weight gain are helpful for improving pregnancy outcomes.

Using a novel hybrid technology combined differential ion mobility spectrometry ( DMS) with drift time ion mobility spectrometry DMS-IMS2 , we detected the typical chemical warfare agent simulants dimethyl methylphosphonate ( DMMP ) and methyl salicylate ( MS) . With carrier gas 800 mL/min and DMS RF voltage 1100 V, the chemical warfare agents DMMP and MS could be detected and characterized by DMS-IMS2 under DIMS mode. In addition, DMS-IMS2 is capable to monitor positive and negative ions of DMMP and MS simultaneously, and provides the two-dimensional separation parameters DMS compensation voltage ( CV) and IMS drift time ( Td ) , which provides more information for the identification of two chemical warfare agents. DMS-IMS2 has potential application in on-site detection and instrument miniaturization due to its advantages including small size, low power consumption and rapid response time.

Purpose To explore the association between ultrasound contrast agent injection volume as well as regurgitation and tubal patency. Methods SonoVue contrast agent was used for 515 cases of infertility transvaginal four-dimensional ultrasound imaging hysterosalpingography, recorded the amount of contrast agent injection, regurgitation, and compared contrast agent injection volume and regurgitation in different patency. Results The ultrasound contrast agent injection volume between bilateral patency with bilateral passable and one side patency one side passable as well as one side patency one side barrier, between one side patency one side passable and one side patency one side barrier had no significant difference (U=1467.0-4843.0, P>0.05);and it had statistical difference between any other two conditions (U=273.5-6160.0, P<0.05). The regurgitation between bilateral passable and bilateral barrier, one side passable one side barrier, between bilateral barrier and one side patency one side barrier, one side passable one side barrier, between one side patency one side passable and one side patency one side barrier had no statistical difference (U=949.5-6378.5, P>0.05), and it had statistical difference between any other two conditions (U=919.5-5126.5, P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound contrast agent injection volume and regurgitation in hysterosalpingography are associated with tubal patency, which can be used as objective indexes for assessing tubal patency, and provide basis for tubal patency.

Objective To observe any effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the expression of integrin-focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) mechanochemical transduction pathway-related proteins in the chondrocytes of rabbits with knee osteoarthritis (OA).Methods Of the 18 New Zealand white rabbits selected for the study,twelve received knee anterior cruciate ligament transection to model OA.The remaining 6 rabbits served as normal controls.At the 4th week after modeling the rabbits were sacrificed and chondrocytes were isolated and cultured in vitro.All the cultured cells were randomly divided into three groups:a normal control group (NC),an OA model group (OA) and an OA model plus LIPUS group (OA + LIPUS).When the cells had been cultured to the 2nd passage,the NC group and OA group cells had received no treatment.The OA + LIPUS group cells were exposed to 40 mW/cm2 of LIPUS for 20 min,once a day for 6 days.The expression of collagen protein type Ⅱ,aggrecan,MMP-13,integrin β1 p-FAK and p-p38,p-ERK1/2 and p-JNK Mapks were detected by Western blotting.Results Compared with the NC group,the expression of collagen type Ⅱ and aggrecan was significantly lower in the OA and OA + LIPUS groups,with more significantly lower expression of collagen type Ⅱ and aggrecan in the OA group than in the OA + LIPUS group.Compared with the NC group,the expression of MMP-13 was significantly higher in the OA and OA + LIPUS groups,with a significantly larger increase in the OA group.Compared with the NC group,the expression of integrin β1 and p-FAK was also significantly higher in the OA and OA + LIPUS groups,with a significantly larger increase in the OA + LIPUS group.Compared with the NC group,the expression of p-p38,p-ERK1/2 and p-JNK was also significantly higher in the OA group,but compared with the OA group,the expression of those kinases was,on average,significantly lower in the OA + LIPUS group.Conclusions LIPUS can inhibit the degradation of collagen type Ⅱ and aggrecan,and inhibit the expression of MMP-13,p-p38,p-ERK1/2 and p-JNK in OA chondrocytes,at least in vitro.At the same time,LIPUS can increase the expression of integrin β1 and p-FAK.The results show that LIPUS may activate an integrin-FAK-MAPK mechanochemical transduction pathway to induce changes in the extracellular matrix of chondrocytes.

Objective To explore the effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUC?MSCs) on podocytic apoptosis and injury induced by high glucose (HG) and the underlying mechanisms. Methods Podocytes were divided into six groups according to treatment: ⑴ normal glucose group (NG);⑵high glucose group (HG);⑶mannitol control group (NG+Ma);⑷HUC?MSC co?culture group (HUC?MSCs); ⑸ recombinant human hepatocyte growth factor treatment group (rhHGF);⑹ neutralizing antibody group(HGF?NtAb). Cytometry and Hoechst staining were used to detect the apoptosis rates. Western blot was used to measure the ratio of active PARP to total PARP and the level of Bcl?2. Immunofluorescence was used to study podocytic apoptosis and injury. Neutralizing antibody (NtAb) was used to block its function and the recombinant cytokine was added to induce its function. Results High glucose induced podocytic apoptosis in a time?dependent manner, HUC?MSCs co?culture decreased the podocytic apoptosis rate and the expression of PARP (all P﹤0.05), increased the expression of Bcl?2, prevented the reduced expression and maintained the normal arrangement of podocytic podoplanin. The rhHGF prevented podocytic apoptosis and injury similarly to HUC?MSCs, the beneficial effect of HUC?MSC decreased when blockade of HGF. Conclusions HUC?MSCs co?culture ameliorates podocytic apoptosis and injure induced by HG, probably through secreting soluble HGF.
