Objective To investigate the relationship between preterm delivery and anterior myometrial (MA) thickness measured by ultrasound in the second trimester. Methods The general information and pregnancy outcome of singleton pregnant women who had antenatal visit in the Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital between Oct 2010 and Sep 2013 were collected prospectively. The MA thickness was measured at 20-27+6 gestational weeks. The cases were divided into preterm delivery group and term delivery group. Results (1)A total of 1 031 pregnant women were recruited in this study. 147 pregnant women were in the preterm delivery group(14.26%,147/1 031) and 884 women were in the term delivery group(85.74%,884/1 031). The gestation age at delivery of the preterm delivery group was significantly earlier than the term delivery group [(34.57 ± 2.39) vs (39.23 ± 0.92) weeks,P<0.05]. No significant difference was observed in the age, gravidity, parity, history of preterm delivery, cesarean delivery rate and gestational age at the time of MA measurement between the two groups(P>0.05). The incidence of premature rupture of membrane(PROM) in the preterm delivery group and in the term delivery group were 49.0%(72/147) and 15.8%(140/884),respectively, with statistically significant diffrence(P<0.01). (2) The mean value of MA thickness in the term delivery group was (5.49±1.39) mm, while in the preterm delivery group it was (5.60 ± 0.87) mm. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). The mean value of MA thickness in the spontaneous preterm delivery group was(5.15±0.75) mm, and was (5.61±1.38 ) mm in the term delivery group, with statistically significant difference(P<0.01). The mean value of MA thickness in the preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) cases was( 5.96±0.78 ) mm, and in term delivery group with PROM it was(5.38±1.12) mm. The difference between the two groups were statistically significant (P< 0.01). (3) Among the 1 031 pregnant women, 212 women had PROM, with the mean value of MA thickness of (5.67±1.32) mm. For those who did not have PROM, the mean value of MA thickness was (5.56±1.10) mm. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). No correlation was found among PROM and MA thickness(r=0.058,P>0.05). However, in the preterm delivery group, the mean value of MA in PPROM was significantly thicker than the spontaneous preterm delivery cases(P<0.01). There was a positive correlation between the MA thickness and PPROM (r=0.457,P<0.01). Conclusion The MA thickness had some correlation with spontaneous preterm delivery and PPROM, while the MA thickness should not be considered as an independent factor of preterm delivery.

Methods 86 patients with Ⅱ degree burns from July 2014 to July 2016 in our hospital were divided into the control group and the experimental group by lottery method with 43 cases in each group. The control group was treated with silver sulfadiazine, the experimental group was treated with Kang Shuling gel, the two groups of clinical curative efficacy, inflammatory factors, visual analogue scale (VAS), wound healing rate and wound healing time, wound infection rate and adverse drug reactions were compared. Results After treatment, the total effective rate of the experimental group was 95.34% higher than that of the control group 72.09%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels of the experimental group was lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The VAS of the experimental group was lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The wound healing rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group on the seventh day and the fourteenth day, and the wound healing time was better than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The wound infection rate of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in adverse drug reactions between the two groups. Conclusion The curative effect of Kang Shuling gel on the treatment of Ⅱ degree burns patients worthy of affirmation, could reduce serum inflammatory factors level.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of color Doppler echocardiography in the patients with anomalous origin of coronary artery.Methods Six patients were studied using color Doppler echocardiography.The origin sites,running courses,blood flow directions of coronary arteries, other accompanied cardiovascular abnormalities and valvular regurgitations were investigated.The diameters of coronary artery trunks and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured.And the results were compared with those of coronary angiography and surgery.Results Left coronary artery(LCA) originated from pulmonary artery(PA) in 4 cases,left anterior descending(LAD) branch originated from PA in 1 case,and accessory coronary artery originated from PA in 1 case.The main accompanied cardiovascular abnormalities included ventricular septum defect,atrial septum defect,complete endocardial cushion defect,and so on.For all the patients,the diagnostic results by echocardiography were consistent with catheterization and surgery.High correlations existed between echocardiographic and catheterization measurements for left and right coronary artery diameter and LVEF (r= 0.94 , 0.96 , 0.89 ,respectively,all P 0.05 ).Conclusions Color Doppler echocardiography can accurately diagnose the patients with anomalous origin of coronary artery, provide reliable information for surgical treatment.

Objectives To investigate the role of angiogenic T cells (Tang) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. To explore the relationship between Tang and EPC. Methods From Mar 2013 to Aug 2014, 40 patients diagnosed preeclampsia (PE) and delivered in Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital. A total of 20 of them were defined as the mild preeclampsia group and the other 20 cases were recruited as the severe preeclampsia group. And 24 healthy pregnant women wererecruited as the control group. The percentage of Tang and EPC in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were determinated by flow cytometry between 28 and 40 gestational weeks. Results (1) There was no significant difference in the age, pre-pregnancy body mass index(Pre-BMI) or gestational age among the three groups (P>0.05). The differences of blood pressure among the three groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The gestational week at delivery, the birthweight of the neonates and the 1 minute Apgar score in the severe preeclampsia group were lower than those in the mild preeclampsia group and the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The morbidity of neonatal asphyxia in the severe preeclampsia group was 35%(7/20);and in the mild preeclampsia group it was 5%(1/20), with statistically significant difference( P<0.05). (2) The percentage of Tang in maternal peripheral blood was(52.7 ± 8.0)%, (47.5 ± 8.8)% and (45.5 ± 8.7)% in the control group, the mild preeclampsia group and the severe preeclampsia group, respectively. The difference among the three groups was significant (F=4.248,P<0.05), and SNK q analysis showed there was significant difference between the control group and the severe preeclampsia group(P<0.05).While there was no statistically significant difference between the mild and the severe preeclampsia group, nor between the control group and the mild preeclampsia group(P>0.05). (3) The percentage of EPC in maternal peripheral blood was (0.16±0.07)%, (0.09±0.07)%and (0.08±0.05)%in the control group, the mild and the severe preeclampsia group, respectively. Analysis of variance showed that difference among the three groups was significant (F=9.351, P<0.05). The percentage of EPC in the mild or the severe preeclampsia group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). (4) There was no statistically significant correlation between the Tang level and the EPC level in the control group ( r=-0.325, P>0.05). In the preeclampsia group (including mild and severe cases), there was positive correlation between the Tang level and EPC level (r=0.667, P<0.01). The positive correlation between Tang level and EPC level were proved respectively in the mild preeclampsia group (r=0.803, P<0.01) and the severe preeclampsia group (r= 0.520, P<0.05). Conclusions The number of Tang had some correlation with the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The percentage of Tang had positive correlation with the level of EPC in women with preeclampsia. Tang might have some influence on the change of EPC′ level. Tang together with EPC were likely to contribute to the angiogenesis in preeclampsia.

Objective To investigate the role of nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB) in preterm birth with subclinical chorioamnionitis.Methods From October 2005 to October 2006,111 cases including 36 cases of preterm birth in labor,37 cases of full term gravida with spontaneous labor and 38 cases of full term gravida without threatened labor in the Hunan Province People's Hospital,third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and Changsha Maternal and Child Care Service Center were enrolled in the study.After delivery,by pathology results of fetal membrane they were divided into two groups:subclinical chorioamnionitis group(subclinical infectious group ) and non-infectious group. Immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR were used to observe the change of the p65 subunit of NF-κB family in maternal blood and fetal membrane in subclinical infectious group and non-infectious group.Results (1) The incidence of subclinical chorioamnionitis:there were 24 cases of subclinical chofioamnionitis in the 36 cases of preterm birth in labor(67% ),7 cases in the 37 cases of full term gravida with spontaneous labor group (19%)and 3 cases in the 38 cases of full term gravida without threatened labor group(8%).There was a significant difference among the three groups (P＜0.01). In the totally 111 cases,34 eases were classified as subclinical infectious group and 77 cases as non-infectious group.(2) In fetal membrane,the median of the average staining intensity of NF-κB p65 protein was higher in the subclinical chorioamnionitis group (8.0)than those in non-infectious group(4.0).Similarly,the average staining intensity of NF-κB p65 mRNA was higher in the subclinical infectious group (47.5±17.2) than those in non-infectious group(31.3±13.6).There was a significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.01).(3)In maternal blood,the expression of NF-KB p65 protein and mRNA was higher in subclinical chorioamnionitis group (8.0 and 42.6) than these in non-infectious group(4.0 and 23.6).There was a significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.01).(4) The concentration of NF-κB p65 protein in fetal membrane was positively correlated with that of maternal blood(r=0.581,P＜0.01 ) and the concentration of NF-KB p65 mRNA in fetal membrane was positively correlated with that of maternal blood (r=0.571,P＜0.01 ).Condusion The expression of NF-KB in maternal blood and fetal membrane in preterm birth with subclinical chorioamnionitis is higher and the two are correlated with each other.NF-KB p65 could be an accurate biochemical marker in predicting subclinical chorioamnionitis in preterm birth. NF-KB p65 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of subclinical chorioamnionitis in preterm birth.

OBJECTIVE An understanding of the complex anatomy of the anterior skull base is crucial for the surgeon doing endoscopic surgery. The anatomic data of the olfactory sulcus and adjacent structures in Chinese patients were defined using 3-dimensional reconstruction images. The surgeon is encouraged to develop a detailed pre-operative surgical plan by utilizing these dynamic anatomical observations to avoid intracranial injury. METHODS The paranasal sinus CT scanning images of 100 adults were reconstructed for observation using EBW2.0 software and multiplanar reformation. All data obtained were in the coronal plane from the anterior point of the olfactory sulcus. The cribriform plate depth as compared to the ethmoid roof and adjacent structures, was measured bilaterally. Data obtained on adjacent structures include the vertical height of the lateral lamella of olfactory sulcus, the horizontal distance between the cribriform plate and the orbital lamella, the length of the middle turbinate, the height of the orbit, and the vertical distance between the cribriform plate and the nasal floor. RESULTS The olfactory sulcus was classified into three types: platform type (60 %), sloping type (17 %) and mixed type(23 %), as distinguished from Keros classification. In this study the vertical height of the lateral lamella of olfactory sulcus was (5.03 ± 0.17) mm (R) and (5.39 ± 0.19) mm (L) in platform type, and (2.79 ± 0.49) mm (R) and (4.72 ± 0.49) mm (L) in the mixed type. There were statistically significant differences between the right side and the left side in these two types (P＜0.01). The horizontal distance between the cribriform plate and the orbital lamella on the same side was significantly different between the platform type and the mixed type of olfactory sulcus. A similar result was observed for the vertical distance between the cribriform plate and the nasal floor. Gender differences exist in the horizontal distance between the cribriform plate and orbital lamella on the same side and the vertical distance between the cribriform plate and the nasal floor. CONCLUSION Different types of olfactory sulcus have distinct characteristics, hence care which must be taken into account when doing endoscopic surgery.

Aim To discuss the repairing mechanism of Qinbai Qingfei Concentrated pellets to lung tissue of rats infected by mycoplasma. Method 60 Wistar rats weighting 80~100 g, male to female:1 ∶ 1) were di-vided into six groups randomly ( 10 rats in each group): blank group, model group, positive group, the high、middle and low dose groups of Qinbai Qingfei Concentrated pellets. Rats were infected through nasal intubation drip of MP. After 10 days of administration, concentrations of IL-6 , IL-8 AND TNF-α in serum of MPP rats were detected. Left pulmonary tissues of rats were collected to observe the lung tissue pathological change by HE staining and right pulmonary tissues were used to detect the transforming growth factor-beta ( TGF-β) and surface activity related protein A( SP-A) mRNA expression level by real-time quantitative PCR ( RT-PCR) and TGF-βand SP-A protein expression by (Western blot. Result Qinbai Qingfei Concentrated) pellets significantly inhibited inflammation of lung tis-sue, reduced the expression of TGF-β and increased the expression of SP-A in the lung tissue of rats infec-ted by mycoplasma. Conclusion Qinbai Qingfei Con-centrated pellets can inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition ( EMT ) , of alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells by reducing the content of TGF-β and restore the nor-mal morphology and function of the lung by increasing the expression of SP-A.
