Objective:To investigate the clinical value of neck vascular ultrasound and homocysteine (Hcy) level in patients with cerebral infarction and carotid stenosis.
Methods: Our research included 2 groups. Cerebral infarction group, n=115 patient who were treated in our hospital from 2012-01 to 2013-12, and Control group, n=110 healthy subjects from physical check-up. Neck vascular ultrasound was conducted to classify the degree of carotid stenosis as ①no stenosis, ②mild degree, the stenosis rate≤29%, ③moderate degree, the stenosis rate at 30%~69%,③severe degree, the stenosis rate at 70%~99%,④complete occlusion. Carotid plaque formation and vascular intima-media thickness (IMT) were examined by neck ultrasound. Blood levels of Hcy and triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were
measured in clinical laboratory.
Results: Compared with Control group, Cerebral infarction group had the higher rate of carotid stenosis 89.56%vs 10.91%, more plaque formation 73.91%vs 6.08%and increased IMT (1.85 ± 0.42) mm vs (0.75 ± 0.21) mm;higher blood levels of Hcy (42.32 ± 12.02) μmol/L vs (6.32 ± 2.45) μmol/L and higher rate of high blood Hcy syndrome 71.30%vs 3.63%;higher levels of TC (4.25 ± 1.12) mmol/L vs (1.63 ± 0.74) mmol/L and LDL-C (5.96 ± 1.36) mmol/L vs (2.32 ± 0.82) mmol/L, P<0.05. In Cerebral infarction group, the patients with complete carotid occlusion and severe stenosis had the higher rate of plaque formation and increased IMT;higher levels of Hcy and more high blood Hcy syndrome;higher levels of TG and LDL-C than the patients with mild and moderate carotid stenosis, P<0.05. Logistic analysis indicated that the levels of IMT, Hcy and LDL-C were the independent risk factors for cerebral infarction and carotid stenosis.
Conclusion: The patients with cerebral infarction and carotid stenosis have obviously increased blood level of Hcy. Hcy may predict various degree of carotid stenosis in relevant patients.

Objective To study the resuscitative effect of hypertonic electrolyte glucose solution (HEGS) on the haemodynamics pa-rameters in enteral resuscitation of burn shock. Methods Eighteen beagle dogs with 35% TBSA third degree burned were used in this stud-y. They were random divided into no-resuscitation group (NR group), enteral resuscitation with HEGS group (EH group) and intravenous resuscitation with isotonic electrolyte glucose solution (lEGS) group (Ⅱ group). The fluid resuscitation was given from half an hour after TBSA). The haemodynamics parameters (cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, intrathoracic blood volume index, and systemic vascular re-sistance index) were continuously assessed by PICCO. Result The cardiac output index reduced markedly after bum in the three groups, and then returned after 2h in two resuscitation groups, which were higher than that in the NR group( P<0.05). The mean arterial pressure reduced in the three groups, which was higher in the two resuscitation groups than that in NR group(P < 0.05). The intrathoracic blood volume index was rapidly reduced in the three groups. It returned in EH group from 2 hours after burned, which was still higher than that in the other two groups (P < 0.05). Meanwhile the systemic vascular resistance index was increased quickly. It was reduced in EH group from 2 hours after burned, which was lower than that in the other two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion The results show that it was feasible for 35% TBSAⅢ° burn-injury dogs to be resuscitated with 1.8% hypertonic electrolyte-glucose solution by enteral, which can markedly reduce liquid quantity needed.

Objective Cisplatin(DDP)is widely used in the chemotherapy of lung cancer. However, cisplatin resistance represents a major obstacle in its effective treatment. Our preliminary work has demonstrated that inactivated Sendai virus(HVJ-E)shows that it induces apoptosis in murine melanoma cells(B16)and obviously inhibites the tumor growth in tumor-bearing BALB/c nude mice. This study aims to investigate whether inactivated HVJ-E has an effect of inducing apoptosis in cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP lung adenocarcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods HVJ-E and A549/DDP cells were co-cultured in vitro,and the effect of HVJ-E on the apoptosis in A549/DDP cells was detected by flow cytometry. In addition,HVJ-E was injected into the tumor in vivo, and its oncolytic effect was observed by TUNEL assay of tissue sections and measurement of tumor size. Results After co-cultured with HVJ-E for 12 h,24 h and 36 h, the apoptosis rate of A549/DDP cells in late stage detected by flow cytometry was 7.7%, 12.6% and 18.9%,respectively,showing a significant difference between 12 h and 24 h, and between 24 h and 36 h. TUNEL assay showed that there was more apoptosis in tumor cells in vivo in the experimental group than in the control group. Meanwhile, intratumoral injection of HVJ-E induced a significantly smaller tumor volume in the experimental group compared with the control group(P ﹤ 0.05). Conclusions Our findings indicate that inactivated HVJ-E can induce apoptosis in A549/DDP cells both in vitro and in vivo, and intratumoral injection of inactivated Sendai virus significantly reduces the tumor growth in vivo.

Objective: To explore the effect and security of minimally invasive surfactant therapy (MIST) in treatment of preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). Methods: A total of 48 pretrm infants with gestational ages between 30-36 weeks diagnosed with NRDS in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from January 2017 to January 2018 were randomly divided into MIST group (23 cases) and intubation-surfactant-extubation+ continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (INSURE) group (25 cases) by adopting random number table method.The patients in MIST group were put on nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) and a thin vascular catheter was inserted through the vocal cords under direct vision with direct laryngoscope then infused pulmonary surfactant(PS) into the lung; the patients in INSURE group were endotracheally intubated and infused with PS into the lung through endotracheal tube with positive airway pressure, then extubated and put on nCPAP again.The incidences of adverse reactions and various complications related to the 2 groups were observed. Results: There were no significant differences between 2 groups in oxygen saturation decrease(26.1% vs.36.0%), bradycardia (13.0% vs.24.0%) and reuse PS (8.7% vs.4.0%) (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences between 2 groups in noninvasive ventilation time [8 d (5.5-12.5 d) vs.7 d(5.0-14.0 d)], total oxygen intake time [12 d(7.0-26.5 d) vs.10 d(10.0-23.0 d)] and length of hospital stay [(34.22±16.06) d vs.(30.88±14.35) d] (all P>0.05). There was no death or intraventricular hemorrhage in both groups, and there were no significant differences between 2 groups in the incidences of pneumothorax (0 vs.4.0%), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (21.7% vs.16.0%), retinopathy of prematurity (21.7% vs.12.0%) and necrotizing enterocolitis (21.7% vs.12.0%) (all P>0.05). Conclusions MIST technique is a safe and effective method to administrate surfactant in preterm infants with NRDS.In the NRDS patients who do not need intubation and mechanical ventilation, MIST technique can be used to administrate PS.

Objective:To investigate the expression of N-myc downstream regulated gene 2(NDRG2) in hippocampus of epileptic mice and its effect on glutamate and glucose uptake in astrocytes of mice.Methods:The epileptic mouse model was induced by lithium chloride and pilocarpine nitrate. The mice were sacrificed at 1 d, 7 d, 15 d and 6 weeks after model establishment and the brain tissues of hippocampus were taken. Western blot was used to detect the expression of NDRG2 protein in hippocampus.The primary astrocytes of wild-type, NDRG2 + /+ and NDRG2 -/- mice were cultured and the NDRG2 phenotype of astrocytes was identified after primary culture. Glutamate content in the supernatant of astrocyte culture was determined by glutamate assay kit and ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Flow cytometry was used to detect the positive rate of 2-NBDG fluorescently labeled astrocytes. Results:(1) Compared with the control group (0.25±0.07), the expression of NDRG2 in the hippocampus of mice increased significantly in the acute phase of epilepsy (1 d(0.45±0.06, t=-3.84, P<0.05), 7 d(0.54±0.09, t=-4.30, P<0.05), 15 d(1.04±0.06, t=-15.08, P<0.01)), and remained significantly high in the chronic phase of epilepsy( 6 weeks (1.30±0.16, t=-10.40, P<0.01)). (2) The content of residual glutamate in the supernatant fluid of primary cell culture medium was detected.It was found that the uptake of glutamate by astrocytes in the NDRG2 -/- group was significantly lower than that in the NDRG2 + /+ group ((689.03±101.78) μmol/L, (113.67±37.35) μmol/L; t=9.19, P<0.01). (3) Western blot results showed that the expression of EAAT1 protein in NDRG2 -/- primary astrocyte was significantly lower than that of NDRG2 + /+ primary astrocyte(0.34±0.03, 1.16±0.21), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-6.59, P<0.01). (4) Flow cytometry results showed that the positive rate of astrocyte in NDRG2 -/- group cells was significantly lower than that in NDRG2 + /+ group cells ((17.60±5.72)%, (72.22±8.35)%), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-13.22, P<0.01). Conclusion:NDGR2 is closely related to the occurrence and development of epileptic diseases. The expression of NDRG2 is beneficial to exert its physiological function of EAAT1 and promotes the uptake of glutamate and glucose by astrocyte. It may be a potential cell protective factor to promote nerve protection and repairment.
