On the basis of the development of a new CE method for the analysis of α-lactalbumin (α-Lac), β-lactoglobulin A(β-LgA) and β-lactoglobulin B(β-LgB), different concentrations of acetic acid (HAc) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for the removal of proteins in raw milk, infant formula A and B, and yogurt were investigated.It was shown that TCA is better than HAc for eliminating of proteins in the above four samples.The proteins in 2 g of raw milk could be eliminated by 3 mL of 100 g/L TCA.0.5 g of infant formula A and B needs 5 mL of 10 g/L and 20 g/L TCA to remove the proteins, respectively.For 2 g of yogurt, 3 mL of 20 g/L TCA is enough.The present research may provide valuable information for protein-containing sample (such as raw milk, infant formula and yogurt) pretreatment.

Purpose The aim of this study was to reveal the role of SGT,the small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-containing protein,in the developing mouse brain through examining the expression profile of SGT during the development stage. Methods In this study, quantitative RT-RCR and Western blot were applied to investigate the expression of SGT mRNA and protein in the mouse whole brain. Western bolt was also used to detect the expression of SGT in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, striatum and cerebellum. Immunohistochemical analysis on postnatal and adult mouse brain was performed to examine the subcellular localization of SGT. Results Our data showed that the levels of SGT mRNA and protein in the mouse whole brain were both high during the postnatal stage and declined in the adult. Regional expression of SGT protein in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, striatum and cerebellum showed a similar expression profile.Immunohistochemical analysis found that in the P14 mouse brain, SGT was abundant in all the CA regions of hippocampus as well as most regions of cerebral cortex and striatum. In the cerebellum, SGT was mainly distributed in Purkinje cells. In the sections of the adult mouse brain, faint expression was observed in the regions mentioned above. Conclusions Our findings firstly exhibit the expression pattern of SGT in the mouse brain development,which might shed new light on further functional analysis of SGT in the central nervous system.

Objective To assess the additional diagnostic value of mesenteric CT angiography (MCTA) for localization of intestinal diseases detected by 64-slice helical CT. Methods Pretreatment abdominal CT data from 60 cases of intestinal diseases confirmed surgically and pathologically were analyzed retrospectively. Two radiologists blindly evaluated the images in group A (including axial and multi-plane reconstructive images) and group B (including images in group A and CT angiography). Both the localization and qualitation of intestinal diseases were evaluated by comparison of the surgical and pathological findings. Results The accuracy of localization of intestinal diseases in groups A and B was 83.3% and 98.3%, respectively. Conclusion Mesenteric CT angiography can obviously increase the accuracy in localization of intestinal diseases.

Objective To evaluate whether changes in neonatal intensive care have improved outcomes for extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods A prospective phase-lag cohort study was performed in a tertiary level NICU. A meticulous nursing strategy based on neonatal individual developmental care assessment program theory and feasible ELBW minimization stimulus was developed. Conventional care was applied in 2013 (period Ⅰ) and gently caring was applied in 2014 (period Ⅱ). The outcomes of ELBW between these 2 periods were compared. Results During these two periods, thirty-seven infants were included in period Ⅰ and 41 infants in period Ⅱ. In periodⅠ46.0%(17/37) of the infants needed oxygen for at least 28 days, but in period Ⅱ it decreased to 24.4%(10/41), there was significant difference (χ2=3.990, P=0.046). The rate of breastfeeding increased from 27.0%(10/37) in periodⅠto 61.0%(25/41) in period Ⅱ, there was significant difference (χ2=9.061, P=0.003). There was no significant difference in the mortality rate and chronic lung disease (P>0.05). The incidence of intracranial hemorrhage decreased from 21.6%(8/37) to 4.9%(2/41), there was significant difference(P=0.041). Conclusions Gently caring may have resulted in less intracranial hemorrhage and improve breastfeeding rate. Parents are satisfied with gentle care and in light of these findings, gentle care deserves further exploration.

Objective To investigate the incidence and clinical presentation of breast milk transmitted cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection among preterm infants with birth weight≤1500 g.Methods Preterm infants enrolled in this study met the following inclusion criteria: birth weight≤1500 g, fed with CMV-positive breast milk and admitted into Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Children's Hospital of Fudan University within 72 hours after birth from October 2015 to July 2016. And those with congenital digestive tract malformation or congenital CMV infection were excluded. Breast milk and infants' urine samples were regularly screened for CMV DNA by fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Symptoms and laboratory findings in infants with CMV infection transmitted via breast milk were documented and analyzed. Differences in relevant parameters were analyzed usingChi-square test, Fisher's exact test,t test or Mann-WhitneyU test where appropriately.Results Sixty preterm infants breastfed with CMV DAN-positive milk were recruited. Among them, 19 (31.7%) developed breast milk-acquired CMV infection as their urine samples were positive for CMV DNA, while the others were negative for CMV DNA (infected group:n=19; non-infected group:n=41). The average CMV copies in breast milk, gestational age and birth weight of the infected group were all significantly higher than those of the non-infected group [3.76 (3.18-4.50) vs 3.47 (3.00-4.88) Log10 copies/ml,Z=-2.042;(30.4±2.1) vs (28.4±2.3) weeks,t=3.175; 1290 (750-1500) vs 1110 (575-1480) g,Z=-2.837; all P<0.05). Fewer infants in the infected group than in the non-infected group received blood transfusion [5/19 vs 56.1%(23/41),χ2=4.627,P<0.05]. Ages of the infants with CMV infection ranged from 26 to 164 days (median age of 92 days). Six out of the 19 infants had clinical symptoms concurrent with viral excretion in urine and the ages of these symptomatic infants of infection were earlier than those of the asymptomatic ones without significance [(72±34) vs (97±28) days,t=-1.710,P>0.05]. Four infants (21.1%, 4/19) had severe organ damage and/or positive IgM antibodies to CMV in serum, and were treated with antiviral therapy. Two had mild symptoms and were not given antiviral therapy. All of the six symptomatic infants were followed-up for one to six months, during which time the complete blood cell count and results of biochemical test and fundus examination were back to normal.Conclusions The incidence of breast milk-acquired CMV infection among preterm infants with birth weight≤ 1500 g was 31.7%, and no severe symptoms were reported in this study.

Objective To analyze the incidence,bacterial spectrum and clinical features of peripherally inserted central catheter-associated bloodstream infection in neonates, and to investigate the effect of infection control strategies on the occurrence of infection,by which it is helpful in choosing effective strategies for clinical practice. Methods Clinical data, results of blood culture and culture of the catheter tip were collected from 72 infants (66 of them were very low birth weight) admitted to NICU from July, 2007 to August, 2008. The incidence of PICC-associated bloodstream infection (PICC-BSI) in the old hospital was compared with that of the new hospital. Results Bacterial colonization was not found. PICC-BSI was found in 15 cases (18. 1%), including 11 cases (13.2%) with definite sepsis and 4 cases (4. 8 %) with clinical sepsis.The incidence of PICC-BSI was 10. 2/1 000 PICC-days as a whole,with 16. 1/1 000 PICC-days in the old hospital and,7. 7/1 000 PICC-days in the new hospital respectively. Eleven organisms were isolated including Coagulase negative staphylococcus (CoNS) (4 strains), Acinetobacter baumannii (3 strains), Klebsiella pneumonia (2 strains), Enterococcus(1 strain), and Candida parapsilosis (1 strain). The incidence of PICC-BSI in the new hospital was lower compared with that of the old hospital. Conclusion Most of the isolated organisms of PICC-BSI are opportunistic and multi-drug resistant pathogen. PICC-BSI can be reduced by the effective infection control strategies in NICU.

Objective To study the regiments of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in admitted type 2 diabetic patients, and to analyse the factors related to its effectiveness and insulin dosage. Methods A total of 1 276 type 2 diabetic patients were treated by CSII. The total efficacy of CSII was evaluted. The use of CSII was also analysed in the newly diagnosed patients, elderly patients, and patients with obese or infectious disease. Results The excellent control of blood glucose were achieved in (5.7±2.6)days in the dosage more early and quickly in the newly diagnosed group than that in the previously diagnosed group after the blood glucose levels achieved good control. The percentage of the patients reached the clinical relieve was also higher in the newly diagnosed group. The incidence of hypoglycemia was significantly higher in the elderly patients with lower basal insulin dosage at night. The bolus insulin dosage in the obese patients was higher than that in the non-obese patients. The patients with infectious disease usually have a higher basal insulin dosage than those without infectious disease. The days needed for achieving good control of blood glucose and the insulin dosage were related to infectious factors, the basal blood glucose and obesity. Conclusion The application of CSII among the patients is varied with different conditions. Blood glucose level, body mass index and infection factors are important to determine the initial insulin dosage.
