This is a prospective study on early discovery and diagnosis to cerebral palsy(CP).Fivehundred and forty cases with high risk neonates who were born from July 1. 1993 to December 31. 1994 infour districts in Beijing were monitored for one year.Eight cases were diagnosed for CP from 38 suspiciouscases by examining specific primitive reflex. nerve reflex.muscular tension. early symptoms and CT orMRI.etc. The study indicates that it is very important for decreasing CP incidence to strengthen healthmeasures in perinatal period and to avoid premature infant birth.

Objective Explore the value of APM histochemical stain technique in the diagnosis of amniotic fluid embolism(AFE).Method The pulmonary tissues taken from autopsies performed in 1988～2001 including 19 AFE cases and 3 babies died of amniotic fluid aspiratory pneumonia(positive control),10 women in labor died of other causes(negative control) were sectioned again and stained by APM method and HE method. Comparative statistical research was carried out on findings from the 2 staining methods. Results By APM stain,amniotic fluid elements could be found in all AFE cases and positive control cases as well as some negative control cases.In addition,we found 1 positive case neglected and 1 false negative case of AFE retrospectively.Statistical comparison revealed that APM stain can elevate the detection rates both for keratinized epithelium and mucus.Conclusion APM staining provided possibility of detecting some amniotic fluid elements that was not distinguished by HE stain. The APM stain is helpful and can be used for AFE diagnosis in routine histological examination.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effects of Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet (JQJTT), a commonly prescribed recipe for type 2 diabetes in traditional Chinese medicine, on obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: Twenty-four obese women with PCOS were prescribed JQJTT for 3 months and the changes of carbohydrate metabolism and biochemical indicators, including menstrual cycle, body mass index (BMI), the level of blood sex hormone, area under curve (AUC) of glucose and insulin during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and testosterone responses during human chorionic gonadotrophin stimulation ovary test were observed. RESULTS: After treatment, there were significantly reductions in BMI (P<0.05), serum glucose level at 30 min during OGTT (P<0.05) and testosterone levels at eighteen hours during human chorionic gonadotrophin stimulation ovary test (P<0.05). In addition, nine patients had improved cycles among sixteen completed patients, and one patient with clomifene resistance got pregnant with response to clomifene treatment. CONCLUSION: The beneficial effects of JQJTT may result from improvement of carbohydrate metabolism and reduction in androgen biosynthesis in women with PCOS.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of hepatectomy with hepatic artery resection and reconstruction using gastroduodenal artery during radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods From Dec.2004 to Dec.2008,nine cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma with hepatic artery invasion were subjected to radical resection comhined with tumor invaded hepatic artery resection and reconstruction using gastroduodenal artery.The clinical data of these patients were reviewed.Results Nine cases underwent hilar cholangiocarcinoma radical resection with hepatic artery resection,immediate hepatic artery reconstruction using gastroduodenal artery end to end anastomosis while hepatic artery resection exceeding 1 cm.One patient underwent partial resection of the portal vein and repair using autogenous segment of great saphenous vein.Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was performed in 9 patients with intrahepatic bile duct stents in 8 patients.All patients suffered from postoperative transient SIRS and recovered within 2-3 days after operation.One patient experienced massive bleeding from the upper alimentary tract 3 day after operation and the bleeding was controlled afterwards.The blood flow in the reconstructed hepatic arteries monitored by Doppler was normal two weeks after operation.There was no inhospital mortality.9 patients were followed up for 1-4 years,the median survival time is 23 months (6 months to 32 months).Conclusion Hepatic artery can be reconstructed using gastroduodenal artery during a radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma,and hepatic artery reconstruction decreases the postoperative complications.

Objective: To explore the effects of sensory integration training on the behaviors and cognition in children with attention deficit hyperactivity sorder (ADHD) . Methods: Fifty-two children with ADHD (experimental group) were undergone sensory integration training for 60 times and their behaviors were evaluated with the Corners Parents Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ), and the cognition function was determined with the Combined Raven's Test (CRT) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) before and after the training. Another 52 healthy volunteers were recruited as controls and given the corresponding tests described above for comparison of the results. Results: The scores of conduct disorder, compulsion, hyperactivity and hyperactivity index in children with ADHD were decreased significantly than those of controls after training [(0.60 ± 0. 34) vs. (0.68 ± 0.35), (0.92±0.57) vs. (1.25±0.70), (0.82±0.29) vs. (1.08±0.44); P<0.05] .Inaddition, the improvement was found in IQ, categories control, and conceptive level as compared with that before the training [such as IQ, (105. 37 ±22.76) vs. (97. 37 ±24.15); P<0.001], whereas the scores of response error, response error percentage, first category and persistent errors were decreased after the training [such as response error, (39.40 ± 22.22) vs. (46.60 ±23.44), P<0.001] . For the experimental subjects, the scores in the first response number and the persistent errors percentage right after the training were higher compared with the controls [(12.03 ±5.08) vs. (10.65±0.84), (50.75 ±18.35) vs. (39.95 ± 15. 34); Ps<0.05] .Conclusion: The sensory integration training can improve the behaviors and cognition in children with ADHD, but it produces fewer effects on some of the executive functions despite clinical symptom relief to a certain extent.

BACKGROUND:Rapid development of spermatogonial stem cells is the new hope for assisting reproductive technologies,and the stability of the number and structure of the chromosome cultured in vitro is one of the important factors in usage.OBJECTIVE: To study the influential factors on G-band exhibition in mouse spermatogonial stem cells, so as to offer a technology to identify karyotype of stem cells in culture.DESIGN: Observational experiment.SETTING: Luzhou Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of Medical Molecular Biology, Luzhou Medical College from March 2004 to April 2005. 10 days old male and female Kunming mice were provided by Department of Animal of Luzhou Medical College (number of license No. 17 of experimental animal quality administration in Sichuan province).There were low-sugar DMEM medium, 10 mg/L Mitomycin-C, IMDM medium, 1 ×10-5 mol/L colchicines (PBS allocation),7.5 mmol/L KCL, fixative (mixture glacial acetic acid with methanol in 1:3), Giemsa staining solution and 0.25% zymine.METHODS: Bone marrow was aspirated from the thigh bone of mouse for feeder layer cells preparation. Cells from the male mice testis of 7-8 days after birth were prepared and made into cell suspension. After adjusting the cell density to 3×105 L-1, they were inoculated into the feeder layer of bone marrow stromal cells. Cells were cultured at 37 ℃ in CO2 incubator containing CO2 of 0.05 volume fraction and 70% humidity. The proliferation groups of stem cells cultured 15-20 days were selected, stirred and spread, and then treated with colchicine for 4-6 hours. Cell suspension was collected,and then stained after hypotonic treatment. The cells whose chromosomes were dispersed well and in metaphase were selected, and number of chromosomes was counted, and then the morphology of chromosomes was observed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Culture of bone marrow stromal cells and spermatogonial stem cells and coloration and count of chromosomes.RESULTS: The karyotype of spermatogonial stem cells was the same as the body cells of normal mouse, which showed granule or rod-shape. Karyotype was 20 pairs, 40 bars. Three kinds of chromosome morphology could be observed under oil immersion lens. The first type was condensed, which could be counted in total, but the band could not be seen.The second type was chromatosome that spread completely in the center of equatorial plate and were in metaphase. In this phase, total numbers and band were seen clearly. Last type-chromosomes had already folded and moved towards two poles and concentrated gradually, the total number of chromosomes could be counted, but bending could not be seen clearly.CONCLUSION:Many factors can affect the karyotype of spermatogonial stem cells, including the phase of cell division,effect of hypotonic solution, diffusion of the cell when dropping slides, concentration of trypsin and digestion time, etc.

Purpose To investigate the expression and significance of epiderma1 growth factor receptor( EGFR)mutation-specific anti-bodies in 1ung adenocarcinoma. Methods Immunohistochemica1( IHC)technique was used to detect the expression of EGFR muta-tion-specific antibodies(EGFR-19,EGFR-21)and EGFR tota1 protein antibody(EGFR-P)in 171 cases of 1ung adenocarcinoma with resected specimens,and EGFR gene mutation was a1so performed by amp1ification refractory mutation aystem-PCR( ARMS-PCR). The expression of EGFR-19,EGFR-21 and EGFR-P mutant proteins was compared with EGFR gene mutation and their re1ationship with histo1ogica1 c1assification and c1inica1 characteristics were ana1yzed. Results The expression of EGFR mutant protein was corre1ated with the poor differentiation group inc1uding micropapi11ary and so1id predominant types( P=0. 021 ). EGFR-21 high expression was re1ated to p1eura1 invasion(P=0. 005). The coherence of IHC(with EGFR-19/21 antibodies)and ARMS-PCR was existed(Kappa>0. 4 ). Taking ARMS-PCR as a standard,the sensitivity and specificity of EGFR-19 and EGFR-21 were 65. 0% and 89. 4%, 70. 0% and 97. 6%,respective1y. Conclusions Expression of EGFR mutation-specific antibodies is associated with poor differentia-tion and p1eura1 invasion. It suggests a worse prognosis indicator in 1ung adenocarcinoma. Because of the coherence with ARMS-PCR, using IHC with mutation-specific antibodies to detect the mutant proteins of EGFR-19/21 may act as a pre1iminary screening method of EGFR gene mutation.

Objective To identify the important regulatory elements in the promoter of human CD2 associated protein(CD2AP) by conserved sequence analysis among different species and luciferase functional detection. Methods The promoter sequences of CD2AP from different species were analyzed by BLAST. Plasmids containing different length of deletion mutations of human CD2AP promoter were constructed. Pro-moter activities were tested in 3 kinds of cells from different species by luciferase analysis and were tested in HEK-293 cells treated with all-trans-retinoic acid. Results Homologous sequence comparison in CD2AP promoter area among human, cattle and pig showed that putative specific protein 1 (Sp1) sites and down-stream promoter element (DPE) were highly evolutional]y conserved. Progressive deletion luciferase analysis of DNA fragments revealed similar promoter activity style among 3 different cell lines from 3 different spe-cies, HEK-293, BHK-21 and Vero cells. One basic promoter activity located within 500 bp upstream of ATG. Fragments of further upstream 100 bp or more had drastically 10 times increased promoter activity. Two putative Sp1 sites were in this 100 bp region. All-trans-retinoic acid decreased the luciferase activity of CD2AP promoter. Conclusion Putative Spl sites and DPE have important functions in the promoter activity of CD2AP.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in patients with allergic asthma in order to provide reliable evidence for clinical application of SLIT.Methods To search published articles of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in allergic asthma from CNKI,WANFANG,Pubmed and Medline databases.The methodological quality of trials was assessed by Jadadscale.The heterogeneity was examined by using Stata 11.0 software.Fixed effect model or random effect model was used to pool the data.The articles which could not be pooled were carried out by descriptive analysis.The Egger's and Begg's test were used to evaluate the publication bias.Results There were total 6 RCTs included in this text.Compared with control group,SLIT could significantly reduce asthma symptom scores (SMD =-0.89,95％ CI-1.36--0.43,P =0.000) and asthma medication scores (SMD =-4.53,95％CI-6.97--2.08,P =0.000),but not forced expiratory volume (FEV1) of lung function (SMD =0.19,95％ CI-0.02-0.41,P =0.078),neither serum sIgE levels (SMD =0.05,95％ CI -0.58-0.69,P =0.870).There were no obvious adverse events reported after treatment of SLIT.No publication bias were indicated by Egger's and Begg's tests.Conclusion SLIT significantly reduces asthma symptom scores and medication scores,suggesting that SLIT is a safe and effective approach of immunotherapy.However,it still needs more highly qualified studies of RCTs to prove.
