Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2017;32(7):557-560
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction(CIPO)is an intestinal motility dysfunction caused by intestinal myopathies or neuropathies or mesenchymopathies.The clinical manifestation is almost the same with mechanical intestinal obstruction,but in the absence of any obstruction in the gastrointestinal tract.According to etiology,it can be divided into primary and secondary.While according to gastrointestinal neuromuscular disorders,it can be categorized as myopathy,neuropathy and mesenchymopathy,which have different pathogenesis.The disease with the clinical manifestation,imaging examination or histopathology was diagnosed,but mechanical intestinal obstruction must be excluded.Presently,the therapies of CIPO mainly are stimulating the motility of intestine and ensuring the necessary nutrition of the children.The review is mainly focused on the research progress of the pathogenesis,clinical manifestation,diagnosis,therapy of pediatric CIPO in recent years.

BACKGROUND:Posterior arch length deficiency is closely related to the formation and development of malocclusion.
OBJECTIVE:To measure the posterior arch length in individual normal occlusions of adults in Lanzhou.
METHODS:A total of 102 current col ege students with individual normal occlusions, with a mean age of (19.33±2.67) years (range 18-24 years), including 47 males and 55 females from Gansu Province, were chosen to take lateral cephalograms. Al research objects were divided into three groups according to mandibular plane angle:high angle group (Frankfort mandibular-plane angle>32°), low angle group (Frankfort mandibular-plane angle<22°) and control group (22°≤Frankfort mandibular-plane angle≤ 32°). Posterior arch length of both maxil ary and mandibular arches was measured, and the data were compared between genders and groups and in groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Posterior arch length of maxil ary arch was slightly longer in male group than that in female group, and the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The posterior arch length of mandibular arch was slightly longer in male group than that in female group, but the difference was no significant (P>0.05). Comparison between groups revealed that the posterior arch length of low angle mandibular arch was significantly longer than that of high angle mandibular arch in male group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). The results indicate that the gender wil not influence the development of posterior arch length. Different vertical facial types and different genders have different posterior arch length in individual normal occlusions of adults

BACKGROUND: Micro-nano-sized modification of the material surface provides an effective way to enhance the endothelialization of cardiovascular implants. Shear stress plays an important role in the endothelialization of cardiovascular implants.OBJECTIVE: To review the effects of flow shear stress on endothelial cell cytoskeleton alignment, migration, adhesion and apoptosis on the micropatterned substrates.METHODS: The author performed a retrieval of PubMed and CNKI databases from 2002 to 2017 to search literatures about the effects of shear stress on endothelial cells on the micropatterned substrates. The keywords were micrometer topology, micropattern, flow shear stress, endothelial cells in English and Chinese, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The shear stress parallel to the long axis of the micropattern which is applied to the endothelial cells on micropatterned substrates promotes endothelial cell microfilaments alignment along the long axis direction of micropattern, strengthens endothelial cell migration along the flow direction, increases the level of FAK phosphorylation, enhances endothelial cell adhesion, and improves endothelial cell activity. However, there are some controversies on the effects of parallel shear stress on the microtubule arrangement of endothelial cells on micropatterned substrates. Some studies have reported that parallel shear stress promotes endothelial cell microtubules alignment along the long axis of micropatterns. But others have found that parallel shear stress has no effect on endothelial cell microtubule arrangement. There are different conclusions about the effects of shear stress perpendicular to the long axis of the micropattern on endothelial cells on the micropatterned substrates. Some literatures have found vertical shear stress destroys the structure of endothelial cell microfilaments and microtubules,weakens the degree of microfilaments and microtubules arranged along the long axis of micropatterns, and attenuates endothelial cell adhesion and cell activity. But some have found vertical shear stress does not destroy the structure and alignment of endothelial cell microfilaments and microtubules, and still can promote endothelial cell migration along the flow direction. The magnitude of shear force affects endothelial cell migration, and the number of endothelial cells on the micropatterned substrates migrating along the flow direction increases with the increasing intensity of shear stress.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relationship between the course of antibiotics during perioperative period and postoperative infection in pregnant women with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome(HIV/AIDS) undergoing cesarean section, and to guide the rational use of antibiotics in clinical practice.
METHODS
A total of 53 cesarean section women in the hospital from January 2014 to September 2022 were chosen as research objects. According to the course of antibiotics, the puerperae were divided into two groups. The treatment course of antibiotics in the study group(n=31) was >24 h and ≤48 h, and the control group(n=22) was ≤24 h. The postoperative wound healing, inflammatory indexes, postoperative infection rate, and postoperative hospital stay were observed.
RESULTS
There was no significant difference in postoperative body temperature, white blood cell count, neutrophil ratio, C-reactive protein, postoperative hospital stay, wound healing grade and postoperative infection rate between the study group and the control group.
CONCLUSION
Antibiotics for HIV/AIDS patients during perioperative period of cesarean section for <24 h may play a better role in preventing postoperative infection.
