Objective To study the relationship between Tei index and the myocardial enzymes in newborns with myocardial damage due to asphyxia. Methods Forty-four newborns with mild asphyxia,27 newborns with severe asphyxia and 20 healthy newborns hospitalized in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2008 were enrolled in this study.The peak E and peak A and E/A ratio at mitral valve,the ejection fraction,isovolumetric contraction time,isovolumetric relaxation time and Tei index were measured by conventional echocardiography,and aspartate aminotransferase,creatine kinase,lactate dehydrogenase,hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphate kinase isoenzyme,and cardiac troponin T were tested also.One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results Tei index,isovolumetric contraction time and isovolumetric relaxation time in the severe asphyxia newborns were 0.62±0.13,(47±7)ms and(52±8)ms,higher than those in the mild asphyxia newborns[0.51±0.14,(41±6)ms and(43±6)ms],those in the mild asphyxia newborns were higher than in the healthy newborns[0.39±0.12,(34±6)ms and (37±6)ms] (all P<0.01).Aspartate aminotransferase,lactate dehydrogenase,hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase,creatine kinase and its isoenzymes and cardiac troponin T in the severe asphyxia newborns were higher than in the mild asphyxia newborns and healthy group(P<0.01).Tei index,isovolumetric contraction time and isovolumetric relaxation time were positively related to the myocardial enzymes.The positive relationships were more statistically significant in Tel index,creatine kinase,its isoenzymes and cardiac troponin T(r=0.762,0.821,0.778,P<0.01).Conclusions Combination of Tei index and myocardial enzymes can not only be applied to assess the cardiac function in newborns with myocardial damage due to asphyxia,but also to evaluate the degree of cardiac dysfunction accurately and dynamically.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the clinical epidemiology features of adult idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in Zhongshan Hospital,and to investigate their therapeutic effect and its possible influence factors.Methods A total of 183 patients admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University and diagnosed as IMN by renal biopsy from January 2013 to December 2015 were involved.Their baseline information including demographics and pathologic was collected.Patients were followed up for at least 12 months.Serum albumin < 30 g/L and 24 h urine protein > 3.5g were defined as nephrotic syndrome (NS).IMN patients were divided into NS and non-NS groups and compared.Furthermore,the baseline data of remission and no remission patients were compared,and the correlations of their baseline data with conservative and immunosuppressive therapy were assessed by logistic regression analysis.Results (1) IMN accounted for 11.1% of renal biopsy cases in our hospital,with an average age of 57 years and 59.6% male patients.(2) Compared with patients without NS,IMN patients with NS were older,had a shorter time from the onset to receive renal biopsy,lower estimated glomerular filtration rate,and higher total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,triglyceride and serum creatinine (all P < 0.05).(3) The effective rate of conservative treatment in IMN patients without NS was 65.7%,and the ineffective group had higher triglyceride compared with the effective group (P=0.019).(4) The effective rate of immunosuppressive therapy in IMN patients with NS was 81.2%,and low serum albumin was an independent risk factor for the poor efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy (OR=1.202,95% CI 1.003-1.440,P=0.046).(5) The effective rate of conservative treatment in IMN patients with NS was 55.5%,and low serum albumin was an independent risk factor for the poor efficacy of conservative treatment (OR=1.629,95%CI 1.047-2.536,P=0.023).Conclusions The detection rate of IMN is increasing year by year,but the remission rate of conservative treatment is still not low in mild and moderate patients.For the patients without NS,high triglyceride may predict a poor effect of conservative treatment.Hypoproteinemia is a predictor of poor effect,no matter what a NS patient takes immunosuppressive therapy or conservative treatment.

Objective To establish a double-antibody sandwich ELISA for the rapid detection of shiga toxin typeⅡ ( StxⅡ) in shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli ( STEC) infection. Methods A pool of murine hybridomas was used to screen out the optimal antibody pair for the establishment of double-anti-body sandwich ELISA. The established ELISA system was used to detect StxⅡin the culture supernatants of 16 clinical strains of STEC. Specificity and sensitivity of the established ELISA system were also evaluated. Results Two antibodies, S2D8 and S2C6, were successfully screened out, based on which the double-anti-body sandwich ELISA was set up. StxⅡand its variants rather than StxⅠwas detected in the culture super-natants of STEC with a lowest detection limit of 4 ng/ml. Its performance was consistent with that of commer-cial colloidal gold test kit, indicating the characteristics of good specificity and sensitivity. Conclusion The S2D8/S2C6-based ELISA laid a foundation for researches which designates the shiga toxin as a potential can-didate on the diagnosis and therapy of STEC infection.

Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) toxoid produced by formaldehyde treatment of purified toxin was used to immunize BALB/c mice for monoclonal antibody (MAb) production.The neutralizing activities of positive clones against Stx2 were screened by in vitro cytotoxicity assay.The isotype and specificity of resultant clone was determined,and its efficacy to neutralize the activity of purified Stx2 was evaluated by in vitro and in vivo toxicity model.Lastly,its spectrum of activity against Stx2 variants was also accessed by mouse toxicity model.It was demonstrated that one of the 12 positive MAb clones against Stx2,designating $2C4 had neutralizing activity.S2C4 belongs to the immunoglobulin G1 subclass and has a K light chain,and it reacts with the A subunit of Stx2 and does not bind to Stx2 B subunit or to Stx1.S2CA could efficiently neutralize the cytotoxicity of Stx2 to Veto cells and mice.It also protected mice against lethal doses of Stx2 variants challenge including Stx2c and Stx2vha.S2C4 is a promising candidate molecule in preventing the progression of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) mediated mainly by Stx2 in Stx-producing Escherichia coli(STEC)infection.
