Purpose To observe the ultrasonographic features of periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) in preterm infants, to evaluate the value of cranial ultrasound for early diagnosis of PIVH. Materials and Methods 555 cases of premature children underwent bedside cranial ultrasound examination, characteristics of their ultrasound images were retrospectively analyzed and categorized with Papile grading, gradeⅢandⅣPIVH were defined as severe bleeding. Results 125 PIVH cases (22.52%) were detected by ultrasound, of which 111 cases (88.8%) were Papile gradeⅠ, manifested as hyperechoic group localized in the rear and below lateral ventricle anterior horn and in the sulcus of hypothalamic caudate nucleuscaudate;7 cases (5.6%) were Papile gradeⅡ, manifested as increased echogenicity, irregular widen or isolated mass shadow of the choroid plexus within the triangle zone and posterior horn of the lateral ventricle;7 cases (5.6%) were Papile gradeⅢ, manifested as hyperechoic group within the lateral ventricle with ventricular dilatation. 7 cases (1.26%) were severe PIVH. Overall incidence rates of PIVH in premature children whose gestational age was <32 weeks and ≥ 32 weeks were 45.05% and 16.89% respectively; overall incidence rates of PIVH for preterm infants whose birth weight were <1500 g and ≥ 1500 g were 44.16% and 19.04%, overall incidence of PIVH of preterm infants with gestational age<32 weeks and birth weight<1500 g was significantly higher than their contemporaries with gestational age≥32 weeks and birth weight ≥1500 g, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=40.334, 23.978; P<0.01). Conclusion Incidence of PIVH becomes higher when the gestational age of preterm child is smaller and the birth weight is lower. Performing routine cranial ultrasound examination for preterm infants is important for early diagnosis of PIVH and Papile grading, thus will instruct the clinical intervention in early stage.

Objective To investigate the effect of TCF21 on human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells , and to reveal the role of TCF21 in the development of NSCLC. Methods Overexpression of TCF21 in NSCLC A549 cells was mediated by lentivirus vector. TCF21 protein expression was identified by Western blotting assay. The experimental group, negative control group and the blank control group were set up. A549 cells were subcuta-neously seeded in BALB/c nude mice on the left armpit. Results TCF21 was successful overexpressed in the ex-perimental group. Compared with the negative control group and the blank control group , the tumor growth was slow, and the final tumor volume was significantly reduced in the experimental group. Conclusion Overexpression of TCF21 can inhibit the tumor growth of NSCLC in nude mice , indicating that TCF21 may play an important role in NSCLC development.

Objective To evaluate the cranioplasty with Titanium mesh.Methods Clinical studies of 110 cases who accepted cranioplasty with Titanium mesh (2000-2001) were reviewed retrospectively.Results A satisfactory moulding with no complication occurred in 91%(100/110). The most common recent complication of cranioplasty with Titanium was subcutaneous hematoma(19/110); the next was epidural hematoma(3/110), intracerebral hematoma(3/110) and brain contusion(1/110). 69 cases more than 1 year after cranioplasty were followed, no one appeared long term complications such as infection, exposure or mobilization of the mending material.Conclusion The results of cranioplasty with Titanium mesh are satisfactory, the recent complications of the operation are mainly related to incompletely hemostasis, the long term complication occurred rarely.

Cancer stem cell(CSC)plays a very important role in the genesis、relapse、metastasis and drug resistance of cancer.Traditional chemotherapeutics may kill a large part of malignant cells,but it has little effect on scanty CSC.It is enough for the relic CSC to make cancer relapse and metastasis.Targeted therapy aimed directly at CSC is the only way to cure cancer fundamentally.The specific biologic character of CSC is helpful for studying and developing targeted therapy to CSC.

Objective To investigate the effects of children's mentality on mental symptoms during recovery period of ketamine anesthesia. Methods According to the mentality, forty-five children undergoing smalminor surgery were assigned into active group, stable group and fretful group with 15 cases each. Child was anaesthetized by ketamine alone. RP, BP, HR and SpO_2 were recorded at the end of operation, 5,10 and 30 min after operation. Meanwhile the expression, feeling, behavior, talking and activity were observed. Results RR, BP, HR in active group and fretful group were significantly higher than those in stable group. There was a significant difference in the expression, feeling, behavior, talking and activity among three groups. Conclusion Children's mentality has a significant effect on mental symptoms and hemodynamics during recovery period of ketamine anesthesia.

The study is aimed to investigate the effect of plant growth regulators on yield and quality of the Salvia miltiorrhiza. The plant growth regulators was spraying on Salvia plants in July or August in field experiment, then the yield, ingredient content and the antioxidant activity were determined. The results showed that plant growth regulator 'Zhuanggenling' could increase the yield of Salvia with root-planting by 38.45%. Plant growth regulator 'Duoxiaozuo' could increase the yield of Salvia with seedling planting by 14.19%. Both plant growth regulator significantly reduced the antioxidant activity of Salvia in vitro, but they had no significant effect on active ingredient contents.

Objective To investigate the indications and surgical approaches of full-thickness eyelid reconstruction with superficial temporal artery island flap and oral mucosa free grafting,and evaluate the safety and efficacy.Methods A total of 13 eyes of 13 patients with wide full-thickness eyelid defect were treated by the eyelid reconstruction with superficial temporal artery island flap and oral mucosa free grafting.The defect area was(33.67?8.35) mm?(16.44?4.45) mm and the size of island flap was(38.56?8.99)mm?(18.44?4.00)mm.Eight cases were treated with oral lip mucosa grafting,while the other 5 with hard plate muco-periosteal free grafting.Follow up was conducted for 6 to 24 months. Results The flaps were clinically viable in 10 cases and partially viable in 2.One was inviable for venous circumfluence failure,and a successful free skin grafting was conducted 3 months postoperation.All the grafted oral mucosa survived.Five cases underwent the second surgery to thin the island flap,among whom 3 were performed eyelid suspension with the frontal muscle.The survived flaps were similar to skin in colour,soft in nature,and could effectively protect the eyeballs. Conclusion The superficial temporal artery island flap along with oral mucosa free grafting works well in wide full-thickness eyelid reconstruction.
