Objective:To study the effect of corticotrophin-releasing hormone(CRH) on estrogen production in human trophoblasts and its mechanisms. Methods: Cytotrophoblasts were isolated from term human placentas and cultured for 72 h. The cultured cells were then treated with various concentrations of CRH and CRH receptor antagonist,?-Helical CRH9-41 for 24 h; estradiol was measured by radioimmunoassay in the culture media. Expression of aromatase(P450arom),the key enzyme for estrogen synthesis,was analyzed by Northern blot. Results: CRH significantly stimulated estradiol production and the expression of P450arom mRNA in placental cells. It was found that ?-Helical CRH9-41 blocked the effect of CRH and inhibited estradiol production and P450arom mRNA expression(P

ObjectiveTo explore the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of autoanti-body-associated congenital heart block.MethodsThe clinical data of one child with autoantibody-associated congenital heart block was retrospectively analyzed.ResultsIn 24 week gestation, fetal bradycardia had been found by routine fetal echocar-diography. After birth, the anti-SSA/Ro antibodies and anti-SSB/La antibodies were positive in both infant and her mother. The diagnosis of autoantibody-associated congenital heart block was conifrmed. Intravenous immunoglobulin at 1 g/kg was adminis-trated. At 6 months follow-up, the electrocardiogram suggested type I second degree atrioventricular block.ConclusionIn the fetus or neonates found to have bradycardia and excluded the cardiac structural abnormalities, the autoimmune antibody should been tested and early intervention should been promoted.

Objective To investigate the difference of two models of respiratory failure in preterm infants with nasal continuous positive airway pressure(nCPAP)and nasal biphasic positive airway pressure (nBiPAP).Methods Comparative analysis of 81cases of premature infants with respiratory failure requi-ring respiratory support was needed.They were applied nCPAP and nBiPAP ventilation mode treatment.The use of breathing machine and total oxygen inhalation time,the number of treatment failures,the PEEP param-eters of the ventilator,the total number of recent complications and secondary infections were compared.Re-sults In the nBiPAP treatment group,the average time of noninvasive ventilation was(96.34±31.5)h,the total time of oxygen inhalation was(10.11 ±9.39)d,3cases of treatment failure,the incidence of severe complications was 5.56%(2/36),PEEP (4.08±0.73)cmH2O (1cmH2O =0.098kPa ).In the nCPAP group,the average time of noninvasive ventilation was(114.14±41.69)h,the total time of oxygen inhalation was(17.53±15.96)d,15cases were failed,the incidence of severe complications was 15.56%(7/45), PEEP(5.11±1.01)cmH2O.There were significant differences between the two groups(P﹤0.05).But there were no significant differences in infection control and patent ductus arteriosus (P ﹥0.05).Conclusion nBiPAP as one of the first choice treatment for premature infants with respiratory failure significantly better than nCPAP,as soon as the proper use can avoid invasive ventilation.

Background Most anti-inflammation eyedrops are limited in clinical application owing to multiple adverse effects.A novel peptide GC31 derived from human thrombomodulin has a natural anti-inflammatory activity.Compared with conventional anti-inflammatory eyedrops,GC31 possesses more advantages and potential clinical transforming value.However,relevant study is still lack.Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GC31 and the possible mechanisms.Methods Sixty SPF male Wistar rats aged 8-10 weeks were randomized into 6 groups using randomized number table.Non-specific keratitis models were established in 40 rats by intrastromal injection of 10 μl of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) dissolved in PBS.Different doses of GC31 (125 μg or 250 μg) or dexamethason soluble in PBS were sunconjunctically injected in the experimental eyes respectively in the low dose GC31 group,high dose of GC31 group and the dexamethason group,and 10 μl of PBS was used in the same way in the PBS control group.No drug was injected in the model group,and the normal rats were employed as the blank control group.The corneas were examined by slit lamp microscope and were scored based on the criteria of Anand 24 hours after injection.Then the corneas were collected for histopathological examination.Expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 in the corneas was detected using immunochemistry.Expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) proteins were assayed using ELISA.Real-time PCR was used to detect the expressions of IL-6 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA.The use and care of the experimental animals followed Regulation for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experiment animals by State Science and Techonology Commission.Results A significant difference was seen in the ocular inflammatory scores among the six groups (F =301.238,P =0.000).The inflammatory scores were significantly lower in the high dose of GC31 group than those in the model group (1.85 ± 0.36 versus 2.90± 0.43) (t' =-5.144,P =0.000) ; and the scores in the dexamethason group was lower than those in the high dose of GC31 group(t' =-3.931,P=0.000).Infiltration of inflammatory cells in corneal tissue was milder in the high dose of GC31 and the dexamethason group compared with the model group.The positive response for NF-κB p65 was obviously weaker in the rat corneas in the low and high dose of GC31 groups and the dexamethason group in comparison with the model group.The contents of IL-6 and TNF-α proteins in the corneas were significantly reduced in the low and high dose of GC31 group and the dexamethason group compared with the model group (low dose group:t=-2.626,P=0.009;t'=-2.310,P=0.017.high dose group:t =-3.361,P=0.001 ;t'=-3.151,P=0.002),and the contents of IL-6 and TNF-α proteins in the dexamethason group were lower than those in the high dose of GC31 group (t=-3.361,P=0.001;t'=-3.360,P=0.000).In addition,the expression trend and compared results of IL-6 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA among the groups were similar to those of the IL-6 and TNF-α proteins (all at P＜0.01).Conclusions GC31 suppresses LPS-induced corneal inflammation response by downregulating the expression of inflammatory eytokines.The effect is more dominant in the doses of 250 μg than that in the doses of 125 μg.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the cognition of medical staff for adverse drug reactions(ADR). METHODS:A questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot among the physicians,nurses and pharmacists with different profes-sional titles in our hospital to investigate their cognition about ADR concept,their judgment for ADR and ADR reporting,and the results were analyzed by statistical methods. RESULTS:Totally 452 questionnaires were sent out,and 439 were effectively re-ceived,with effective rate of 97.12%. In terms of correct cognition rate about ADR basic concept and the main reasons,the sur-veyed pharmacists were higher than physicians and nurses,the senior professional titles of surveyed pharmacists were higher than the intermediate and junior,the pharmacists with senior professional titles were the highest and the junior were the lowest,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of the proportion of certain for ADR judgment,the surveyed nurses were lower than pharmacists and physicians,the surveyed physicians with senior and intermediate professional titles were higher the ju-nior,the surveyed nurses with intermediate titles were higher than the junior,the surveyed pharmacists with senior professional ti-tles were higher than the intermediate and the junior,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of cognition about ADR reporting,the surveyed pharmacists were the highest and the nurses were the lowest,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05),while in terms of the proportion of knowing ADR reporting timing limit,reporting procedures and depart-ments,the surveyed pharmacists and physicians with junior professional titles were lower than the senior and intermediate,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of reasons for missed ADR reporting,the proportion of consideration of the risk of causing medical disputes for doctors of the surveyed physicians was higher than pharmacists and nurses,while the sur-veyed nurses showed higher proportion for doing not understand reporting procedures,doing not reporting,thinking ADR reporting was dispensable and uncertain for ADR identification,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Medical staff with different professional titles and occupations have different cognition about ADR basic concept,judgment and re-porting,the pharmacist are relatively good,followed by the physician and nurse,especially the nurse,and the medical staff with junior professional titles are relatively poor. It is necessary to strengthen ADR education and training for them,play professional ad-vantages from the pharmacist and optimize ADR reporting procedures to improve the reporting rate and quality of ADR.

Aim To investigate the effect of zacopride ( Zac) on cardiac arrhythmia in isoproterenol ( ISO)-in-duced myocardial hypertrophic rats and the underlying electrophysiological mechanisms .Methods ① Fifty-one rats were randomly divided into control group ( n=17 ) , ISO group ( n=17 ) and ISO +Zac group ( n =17 ) .Rat model with cardiac arrhythmia and hypertro-phy was established by intraperitoneal ISO ( 5 mg?kg -1 ) injection.②ECGs were recorded to observe the effects of Zac on arrhythmia in model rats .③ Whole-cell patch clamp was applied to record inwardly rectifi-er potassium current(IK1), resting membrane potential ( RMP ) and amplicated delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs).Results ① Echocardiographic examination showed that , left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD) significantly decreased in rats in ISO group compared with control group , whereas left ventricular posterior wall end-diastolic thickness ( LVPWd) and in-terventricular septum end-diastolic thickness ( IVSd ) increased ( P<0.05 ) , suggesting rat model of isoprot-erenol-induced myocardial hypertrophy was successfully established .② ECGs showed that 88.89% of rats in ISO group had ventricular premature beats ( VPBs ) , which significantly decreased to 11.11% after the ap-plication of Zac ( P <0.05 ) .③ Values of RMP de-creased from ( -71.05 ±1.27 ) mV in control group to (-69.38 ±1.21 ) mV in ISO group ( P<0.05 ) . After Zac administration , RMP significantly increased to ( -73.86 ±1.33 ) mV compared with control and ISO group(P<0.05).④DADs and TA incidence sig-nificantly decreased from 88.24% in ISO group to 11.76%in ISO+Zac group ( P<0.05 ) .⑤ Compared with control group , IK1 density was markedly reduced in ISO group, whereas Zac could effectively rescue IK1 suppression to normal level .Conclusions Zac, as a selective IK1 channel agonist , can significantly inhibit cardiac arrhythmia in isoproterenol-induced myocardial hypertrophic rats , which is mainly attributed to in-creased RMP by enhancing IK1 and subsequent suppres-sion of DADs.
