Objective To explore the application of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography in screening the defects of fetal brain and skull.Methods Thirty-one cases of the fetal were detected in 3D ultrasonography.The ultrasonic data were compared with magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and pathology.Results Among 31 cases according to 3D ultrasonography,there were 2 of anencephaly, 1 of exencephaly,2 of encephalocele,5 of holoprosencephaly,2 of arachnoidcyst, 1 of vein of Galen aneurysm,2 of agenesis of the corpus callosum, 1 of schizencephaly, 3 of Dandy-Walker syndrome, 7 of ventriculomegaly, and 5 of enlargement of cisterna magna.Compared with the results of MRI,the diagnostic accordance rate was 100% by 3D,it was 93.5% by 2D.Conclusions The structure of fetal brain and skull were viewed more clearly in 3D ultrasonography than 2D ultrasonography and the defects of fetal brain and skull can screened more exactly.

Objective To investigate the effects of H3K9ac hyperacetylation mediated by histone acetylases on the overexpression of MEF2C in the hearts of fetal mice exposed to alcohol during pregnancy,and provide new interven-tion targets for prevention and treatment of cardiac dysplasia caused by alcohol exposure.Methods C57BL/6 mice were divided into 5 groups randomly,blank control group,dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)group,alcohol group,alcohol +anacardic acid group and anacardic acid group,and then the hearts of fetal mice were collected to be analyzed.Chroma-tin immunoprecipitation and Western blot were used in assaying the binding of histone acetylases and the level of H3K9ac to the promoter of MEF2C in the hearts of fetal mice.The mRNA expression of MEF2C was tested by adopting real -time PCR.Results The level of H3K9ac in the promoter of MEF2C in the hearts of fetal mice exposed to alcohol was higher than that in the hearts of fetal mice exposed to saline (1 .30 ±0.1 9 vs 0.45 ±0.01 ),there was statistically significant difference (P <0.05),while the binding of E1 A -binding protein (p300),p300 /cyclic adenosine mono-phosphate response element binding protein -associated factor (PCAF)and steroid receptor coactivator -1 (SRC1 )to the promoter of MEF2C were abnormally elevated in the hearts of fetal mice treated by alcohol (1 .68 ±0.08 vs 0.82 ± 0.08,1 .08 ±0.05 vs 0.42 ±0.02,1 .1 8 ±0.05 vs 0.39 ±0.08),and there were statistically significant differences (all P <0.05).The expression of MEF2C mRNA in alcohol group was higher than that in blank control group (1 .36 ± 0.1 2 vs 0.29 ±0.03),there was statistically significant difference(P <0.05).However,a pan -acetylases inhibitor, anacardic acid,could decrease significantly the binding of p300 and PCAF to the promoter of MEF2C (1 .52 ±0.05 vs 0.63 ±0.09,1 .1 3 ±0.04 vs 0.45 ±0.04),and correct abnormal hyperacetylation of H3K9ac induced by alcohol (1 .58 ±0.08 vs 0.67 ±0.05),and down -regulate the over -expression of MEF2C in the hearts of fetal mice exposed to alcohol (1 .36 ±0.1 2 vs 0.41 ±0.05 ),and there were statistically significant differences (all P <0.05 ). Conclusions Hyperacetylation of H3K9ac mediated by p300 and PCAF may be a key regulatory factor in the over -expression of cardiac nuclear transcription factor MEF2C in the hearts of fetal mice exposed to alcohol during pregnan-cy.Anacardic acid can significantly attenuate the level of H3K9ac through inhibiting the binding of p300 and PCAF to the promoter of MEF2C,and down -regulate the over -expression of cardiac nuclear transcription factor MEF2C in the hearts of fetal mice.

Objective To explore the splenic macrophages phenotype and secretory function of mice with periodontitis, so as to explore effects of periodontitis on macrophages. Methods 22 mice were randomly divided into periodental ligation group (group P10d ) and pseudo periodental ligation control group (group C), with 11 mice in each group. The experimental periodental ligation on mice lasted for 10 days before they were sacrificed. Flow cytometry was applied to detect the expression of M1 and M2 in mononuclear macrophages. Real-time PCR was applied to detect the relative expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and anti inflammatory cytokines IL-10. Results Compared with the control group C, the proportion of M1 macrophages in the periodontitis group decreased, and the ratio of M1/M2 was also decreased significantly, and IL-1β mRNA also down-regulated. Conclusions Chronic periodontal infection could down regulate the proportion of M1 macrophages , decrease ratio of M1/M2 and the expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-1βmRNA.

Purpose To explore the correlation between fetal cardiac function and interventricular septal thickness in fetuses of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) mothers. Materials and Methods Thirty-nine GDM mothers were involved in the study and divided into group MH (fetuses of GDM mothers with interventricular septal hypertrophy) and group NMH (fetuses of GDM mothers with normal interventricular septal thickness). Ultrasonic cardiogram was performed for both groups to assess such variables as interventricular septum thickness at end diastole (IVSd), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS), right ventricular fraction shortening (RVFS), the ratio of E and A of mitral flow (E/AMV), the ratio of E and A of tricuspid flow (E/ATV), peak velocity of aortic valve (VPAO), peak velocity of pulmonary valve (VPPA) and myocardial performance index (MPI). The results were further compared with those of control group. Results The VPAO, VPPA, LVEF and LVFS in group NMH were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The VPAO, VPPA, LVEF, LVFS and RVFS in group MH were significantly higher than those in control group whilst the E/AMV and E/ATV significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The LVEF, LVFS and RVFS in group MH were significantly higher than those in group NMH whilst the E/AMV and E/ATV significantly lower (P<0.05). MPI in group MH was significantly higher than that in group NMH (P<0.05), whilst both were significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The LVEF, LVFS, RVFS, VPAO and VPPA were positively correlated with IVSd (r=0.48, 0.51, 0.45, 0.30, 0.30;P<0.05). Conclusion Cardiac function in fetuses of GDM mothers may be associated with interventricular septal thickness.

BACKGROUND: Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside plays an important role in a variety of physiological processes, such as the nerve cel growth and development, differentiation, regeneration and intracel ular and extracel ular information transmission. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of monosialotetrahexosylganglioside on the changes of gene expression and calcium ion concentration in the course of inducing the mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like cells with Woodbury’s method. METHODS: The mesenchymal stem cells from Sprague Dawley rats were cultured after isolated and purified, After 5 passages in culture, the cel integrated into a dense monolayer, and treated with 50 mmol/L monosialotetrahexosylganglioside for 24 hours as the monosialotetrahexosylganglioside group; then the mesenchymal stem cells were induced into neuron-like cells with the methods of Woodbury after pre-cultured for 24 hours, and set the control group. The protein and mRNA expression levels of growth-associated protein 43, neuron-specific enolase, neurofilament and nestin were detected by immunocytochemistry and real-time PCR, respectively. The fluorescence intensity of intracel ular free calcium ion before and after inducing was detected by laser scan confocal microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After induction, the expression levels of growth-associated protein 43, neuron-specific enolase, neurofilament and nestin of the mesenchymal stem cells in the monosialotetrahexosylganglioside group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), demonstrating that monosialotetrahexosylganglioside could promote the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like cells. The fluorescence intensity in mesenchymal stem cells was increased gradual y in two groups after the medium was replaced by the induction medium, attained its peak value at 100 seconds and then decreased gradual y, but the fluorescence intensity was stil higher than that before the induction at 20 minutes. The fluorescence intensity of intracel ular free Ca2+ was increased significantly in the monosialotetrahexosylganglioside group when compared with the control group (P < 0.05), suggesting that monosialotetrahexosylganglioside could increase the concentration of intracel ular free Ca2+, and intracel ular free Ca2+ may be useful in the course of induction. The changes of protein expression levels of growth-associated protein 43, neuron-specific enolase, neurofilament and nestin were not significant after induction, indicating that Woodbury classic induced programme could regulate the post-transcriptive protein level.

Objective To explore clinical characteristic of metal-on-metal hip joint prosthesis with large heads(ASRTMXL).Methods Total hip arthroplasty(THA)with ASRTMXL was performed in 14 patients including two with ankylosing spondylitis combined with hip amalgamation,three with avascular necrosis,two with secondary osteoarthritis and seven with femoral neck fractures.Based on shortterm follow-up results,we analyzed its design characteristic and clinical properties.Results All patients walked with crotches one week after operation and began weight bearing without support six weeks later.An improvement was seen on the average range of motion of the hip including anteflexion,retroextension,internal rotation,external rotation,adduction and abduction.The mean Harris score was increased from precperative 30 points(13-50 points)to postoperative 90 points(75-100 points),with statistical difference.Postoperative X-ray showed right positions of the prostheses,normal abduction angle and anteversion angle,without complications cccurred.Condusion Short-term follow-up results show that metal-on-metal hip joint prosthesis with large heads has advantages of lower wearing,large range of motion,few dislocation and small deformation of acetabular cup.
