Male guinea pigs were placed on ordinary or high lipid diet for 30-36 weeks with various amounts of ascorbic acid (Vc) intake. The daily dose of low level intake was 0.7-1.2mg. The normal one was 2.5-5mg. The high dose was 30-45mg. The various amounts of Vc intake did not affect the cholesterol contents in serum and liver. The animals fed low level Vc were without "overt signs of deficiency, but morphological changes of aorta were developed in these animals either on ordinary or high lipid diet. On high lipid diet, the pathological changes of the vessels (aorta and arteriols in cardiac muscles) of animals fed low level of Vc were more severe than those of animals fed normal level, and those of animals fed high dose were the least severe.The result of this study suggested that the presence of a link between Vc and the integrity of the vessels. Prolonged low intake of YC may be regarded as being one of the causal factors in the development of arteriosclerosis. The requirements of Vc for subjects with high cholesterol level may be more than those of normal subjects.

Objective To discuss the etiology,clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of congenital pleural effusion in fetuses and neonates in order to improve the understanding of this disease. Methods Six neonate cases with congenital pleural effusion were retrospectively analyzed in neonates who were admitted to the Department of Neonatolo-gy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University after birth and the etiology,clinical features,diagnosis and re-lated treatment were analyzed based on literature review. Results Among 6 patients with congenital pleural effusion, chylothorax was found in 3 cases,one of whom had chylothorax,chylous abdominal,21 trisomy syndrome and congenital hypothyroidism,and the etiology of the other 3 cases were unknown. Diagnosis mainly was depended on imaging and la-boratory tests. The number of nucleated cells of hydrothorax or ascites were(1 588 - 13 057)× 106 / L,mainly lympho-cytes. Protein qualitative was( + - + + + ),the chylothorax qualitative test was positive in 3 cases. The liver function showed that the total protein and albumin were decreased in varyig degrees. Conservative or surgical treatment was taken according to the situation of the patients. Among 6 patients,3 cases were cured after treatment,the others gave up treat-ment finally. Conclusions The etiology of congenital pleural effusion was different,and often associated with chromo-somal abnormalities or other malformations,ultrasonography was the main method to diagnose congenital pleural effusion and the patients should be dynamically observed or treated during the antepartum or intrapartum period. If the neonates are found to have pleural effusion in prenatal period early diagnosis and treatment is a best choice.

Pressed biscuits were fortified with gelatin encapsulated VA powder, VC phosphate Mg and VB2 tetrabutyrate. The biological effects of these vita-rains were examined by human experiments. In 7 days of the experimental period, the subjects of the 1st group (10 male adults) took the fortified biscuit freely which contained 7500 IU VA powder, 5.16 mg B2 tetrabutyrate ( = 3mg VB2) and 308mg VC phosphate ( = 140 mgVC) in 750 g. The 2nd group took 250 g biscuit freely containing the same amount of vitamin and unfortified pressed biscuit. The 3rd group took only the unfortified ones freely. 5 days before or after fhe experimental period the subjects ate vitamin restricted diets. The nutritional status of VB2 was estimated by 24 hrs. urinary VB2 values, that of VC by urinary and fasting plasma VC levels, and that of VA by fasting plasma VA values.The urinary levels of VB2, VC and plasma values of VC of group 1 and 2 at the end of the experimental period were significantly higher than those of the pre-experimental period. They were also higher than those of group 3. On the 5th day of the post-experimental period, the status of VB2 and VC of group 1 and 2 was still better than that of group 3. Because the subjects were not in VA deficiency, the plasma levels of VA were kept steady.The stabilities of these vitamins in the fortified pressed biscuit were compared with those of ordinary vitamins. Stored in 85% RH 32℃ for 20 months, encapsulated VA powder retained 76%, VC phosphate 84%, but the ordinary VA only 14%, VC 29%. Stored in room temp. 75% RH for 2 years, the VA encapsulated powder retained 73%, VC phosphate 96%, but ordinary VA only 8%, VC 22.3%. In room temp. for 2 years, encapsulated VA powder retained 87%, VC phosphate almost did not lost, but ordinary VA retained 8%, VC retained 25% only. The stability of the VB2 tetrabutyrate was almost the same as that of VB2. It was shown by the guinea pig growth experiment that VC phosphate in pressed biscuit stored 20 months possessed the same biological effect as VC crystal.

ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants.MethodsA total of 304 premature infants were selected who were diagnosed as sever intracranial hemor-rhage (grade III and IV) by cranial bedside ultrasound admitted to our hospital from Jun. 2013 to Sep. 2014. According to wheth-er the obstructive hydrocephalus was followed, all infants were divided into hydrocephalus group (n=59) and non-hydrocephalus group (n=185). The risk factors of obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to intracranial hemorrhage were analyzed and the lateral ventricle size was measured dynamically.ResultsThe univariate analysis showed the factors related with obstructive hydro-cephalus were as follows: gestational age≤32 weeks, birth weight< 1500g, severe asphyxia, cesarean section, RDS, neonatal infection, heart failure, PDA, acidosis, thrombocytopenia, coagulation abnormalities, and intracranial hemorrhage (gradeⅢ orⅣ) (allP<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that acidosis, thrombocytopenia, coagulation abnormalities, gesta-tional age≤ 32 weeks, severe asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage (gradeⅢ orⅣ) were independent risk factors for obstructive hydrocephalus (OR: 1.76~20.46, allP<0.05). At each time point after birth, the ratio of posterior horn of lateral ventricle was signiifcantly higher in hydrocephalus group than that in non-hydrocephalus group (P<0.05). There were signiifcant differences in the changes of the posterior horn ratio of left or right lateral ventricle with time in hydrocephalus group (P=0.000), increasing at 14 days and reaching the peak at 28 days after birth.ConclusionsThe risk factors for obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to intracranial hemorrhage in neonates are important. Regular and dynamical monitoring of ventricle size by cranial ultrasound is needed in infants with sever intracranial hemorrhage.

VE: Chitosan and sodium tripolyphosphate were used as Complex matrix material for preparing pellets loading sodium diclofenac and its properties were studied. METHODS Chitosantripolyphosphate sodium polyelectrolyte was prepared according to the principle of static electricity polymerization. Its properties and structure characteristics were further investigated. The preparation process, effective factors and the optimal condition for the pellets loading sodium diclofenac were studied. RESULTS IR indicated that the structure of compound contained -NH3+-O-P group. DTA demonstrated that polyelectrolyte had an exothermic peak. There was no interaction between the drug and expedient. SEM showed that the surface of the pellets was regular, dense and the structure of the surface wasn't consistent with the inner. The pellets prepared by this method were uniform, round, well-distributed, hardy, good-mobility and its average diameter was about 10mm. CONCLUSION Chitosan-tripolyphosphate sodium polyelectrolyte could be used as a good matrix material for preparing pellets.

Objective To examine the impact on impulsivity trait by monoamine oxidase A variable nucleotide tan?dem repeat (MAOA-VNTR) genotype and children’s abuse experience. Methods The self-reported questionnaire of Bar?ratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) were conducted in 403 normal Han female adoles?cents from north-west of China. The DNA were extracted from their venous blood sample and were genotyped for the MAOA-VNTR polymorphism. A linear regression model was used to investigate the main effects of MAOA-VNTR and children's abuse, and their interaction effect on impulsivity. Results The main effect of Children’s maltreatment experi?ence on trait impulsivity was significant (P<0.01). The main effect of MAOA-VNTR gene and the interaction between MAOA-VNTR genotype and children's maltreatment experience were insignificant (P>0.05). Conclusion The MAOA-VNTR genotype may not be involved in the female adolescents’impulsivity traits related to childhood maltreat?ment.

Tie effects of L-ascorbate 2-sulfate(AAS) on fatty liver and hyperli-pemia of rat and guinea pigs induced by various treatments were studied. The results showed that AAS lowered cholesterol and total lipid levels in the serum and liver of rats fed diets supplemented with lard and cholesterol, while ascorbic acid had no obvious effect. In guinea pigs, AAS not only lowered serum lipid values and liver cholesterol, triglyceride and total lipid levels of DDT treated animals, but also prevented from decline of body weights of these animals. It also had the same effects to lower the serum and liver lipid values of those animals fed pentabarbital or high lipid diet.Remarkable increases of the lipid peroxide value of animals given high doses of AsA were observed, but no such effect occurred in those fed AAS.
