There are various causes of cholestatic liver disease in infants that include extrahepatic biliary tract diseases, liver diseases, anatomical abnormality, metabolic or endocrine diseases, poisoning, infection, and so on. The causes leads to re-duction or interruption in bile lfow and thus results in nutrients malabsorption and comprehensive metabolic disorder. The aims of nutritional therapy for cholestatic liver disease are to reduce the risk of cholestasis related complications, to promote recov-ery of liver diseases, to restore bile flow, to promote growth and improve the comprehensive metabolic disorders, to improve quality of life and to prepare children for liver transplantation.

An analytical method of reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was developed for simultaneous determination of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and nine phenolic compounds (including (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, chlorogenic acid, rutin, caffeic acid, protocatechuic acid, syringic acid, ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid) in 20 min.Ten components were detected and separated successfully by Diamonsil C_(18) column (150 mm x4.6 mm, 5 μm) at wavelength of 280 nm and column temperature of 42 ℃, with acetonitrile and 3% acetic acid solution as the mobile phase in gradient elution.The resultant correlation coefficients of the ten compounds were between 0.9911 and 0.9995 with detection limit from 0.2 to 0.5 mg/L, the RSD less than 2.4% and the average recoveries from 89.4% to 98.3%.These experimental results demonstrate that 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and the nine phenolic compounds in different rice wine samples can be determined with the new method for practical uses.

Objective To investigate the effect of different treatment on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by evaluating the changes of myocardial collagen metabolism. Methods Forty-one patients with STEMI were divided into drug treatment group (22 cases) and selective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) group (19 cases). Meanwhile,47 healthy controls were included in control group. The levels of serum carboxy terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen (PⅠCP), precollagen Ⅲ ( PC Ⅲ ), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at the 3rd ,6th, 12th, 18th month after STEMI,and compared with those in control group. Results The level of P Ⅰ CP in selective PCI group was significantly lower than that in drug treatment group at the 3rd, 6th month [( 15.08 ± 3.37 ) μ g/L vs. ( 19.78 ± 2.22 ) μ g/L, (23.88 ± 3.33 ) μg/Lvs. ( 30.00 ± 3.14) μ g/L, P ＜ 0.05], but there was no significant difference at the 12th and 18th month (P ＞0.05 ). The level of serum PC Ⅲ in selective PCI group was significantly lower than that in drug treatment group at the 3rd month [(50.70 ±4.83) ng/L vs. (59.91 ±4.64) ng/L,P ＜0.05],and there was no significant difference at others times between drug treatment group and selective PCI group. There was no significant difference in P Ⅰ CP/PC Ⅲ between drug treatment group and selective PCI group in all times(P ＞0.05). Compared with those in control group,the levels of serum MMP-1 in all times were significantly decreased in drug treatment group and selective PCI group(P ＜ 0.05 ), but there was no significant difference between drug treatment group and selective PCI group at same times (P ＞ 0.05). The level of serum TIMP-1was significantly higher in selective PCI group than that in drug treatment group at the 3rd and 6th month [(61.89 ± 11.44) μg/L vs. (52.23 ±4.97)μg/L, (62.85 ±6.31) μg/L vs. (52.97 ±6.43)μg/L,P＜0.05] ,and there was no significant difference in TIMP-1 between drug treatment group and selective PCI group in other times (P＞ 0.05). MMP-1/TIMP-1 in selective PCI group was significantly lower than that in drug treatment group at the 6th month [( 1.53 ± 0.25 )% vs. ( 1.95 ± 0.04)% ,P ＜ 0.05] ,and there was no significant difference in MMP-1/TIMP-1 between drug treatment group and selective PCI group in other times (P ＞0.05). Conclusions Selective PCI can improve myocardial collagen metabolism in patients with STEMI in short term ( ＜ 6 months), but it doesn't appear to be superior to drug treatment in long term (6 - 18 months). Patients with STEMI should enforce drug treatment if they have not been treated with PCI.

Objective To explore the risk factors of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). Methods A total of 82 PPCM and 100 normal delivery females were randomly recruited in the current study. Echocardiographic, cTNI,high sensitive C-reaction protein(hs-CRP) ,NT-proBNP were measured. Fifty-two patients were followed up for a mean of 6 months. Results The PPCM patients (29. 5 ± 6. 4) yrs were older than the controls (25. 2 ± 5. 8) yrs (P<0.01) . Compared to the controls, the PPCM patients showed higher blood pressure (146.9/98. 8 mm Hg v. s. 130. 2/80. 1 mm Hg, P < 0. 01) , higher proportion of cesarean section (65. 9% v. s. 51. 0% , P < 0. 05) and complicated infection(75. 6% v. s. 10. 0% ,P <0. 01). The level of leucocyte(11.0 × 109/L) ,cTNI(0. 17 μg/L), hs-CRP(28. 2 mg/L)and NT-proBNP(650. 1 ng/L) were significantly higher in the PPCM patients compared with control(8. 8 × 109/L,0. 06μg/L,6. 2 mg/L and 110. 5 ng/L,P <0. 01). Hs-CRP was positively related with NT-proBNP(r = 0. 67, P < 0. 01). After average of 6 months of treatment, left ventricular ejection fraction enhanced from 32. 2% to 50. 6%. NT-proBNP significantly declined from 650. 1 ng/L to 225.6 ng/L(P <0. 01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that diastolic pressure (P < 0. 05), LVED (P < 0. 05) and hs-CRP (P < 0. 05) were the independent predictors for declined NT-proBNP. Conclusions Inflammatory plays an important role in the development of peripartum cardiomyopathy.

Objective To investigate the expression of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL) and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor(TRAILR) in thyroid carcinoma. Methods Expression and distribution of TRAIL and TRAILR in thyroid tissues from 13 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, 3 patients with follicular thyroid carcinoma and 5 normal necrospy subjects were studied by immunohistochemical methods. Results TRAIL and all of TRAILR immunoreactivity was observed in both thyroid tissues from papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma. TRAILR4 was expressed highly in all thyroid carcinoma tissues but weakly in normal thyroid tissues.Conclusion TRAIL and all of TRAILR were present in thyroid tissues of papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma. Expression of TRAIL, TRAILR1 and TRAILR2 by thyrocytes in thyroid carcinoma may induce their apoptosis through autocrine or paracrine. Thyroid carcinoma cells were sensitive to TRAIL-inducing apoptosis despite expression of both decoy receptors. [

Objective To study the techniques for treating the intracranial tumor.Methods Through a keyhole approach with endoscope-assisted micro-neurosurgery,30 patients with intracranial tumor were treated.With microneurosurgery,larger part of tumor was resected,then under neuroendo-scope remains of tumors were found out and removed.Results Tumors were totally removed in 22 patients,subtotally removed in 5.In three patients cerebral aneurysm was clipped successfully.Two patients with pituitary adenoma had temporay diuresis and one patient non-bacteria meningitis,and after two weeks treatment all recovered.There was no-mortality in 41 patients,no cerebral hemorrhage,optic nerve injury,internal carotid injury,and other complications occurred.Conclusion Endoscope-assisted microneurosurgery through a keyhole approach can increase the total-resection rate for tumors,reduce the trauma of operation and postoperative reaction.

Objective To summarize experience of the combined treatment of ependymoma in fourth ventricle of the brain of child and to study improvement of effect of the operation plus radiotherapy.Methods 35 cases with ependymoma in fourth cerebral ventricle were treated with microneuro-surgical resection.Among the 35 cases,25 were treated with total brain and spinal cord plus local focus radiotherapy within 2 to 3 weeks after operation;8 only with local focus radiotherapy,2 cases were not done with radiotherapy.Results Total removal of tumors was done in 20 cases,subtotal removal in 15 cases,and no patient died from operation.After operation,20 patients had a good recovery,10 had a light disability,and 5 needed assistance.The 5-year survival rate were 90.0%(18/20),6.6%(1/15),88.0(22/25),62.5%(5/8) and 0%,in different group respectively.Conclusion Surgical treatment is obviously effective to ependymoma in fourth ventricle of the brain and total removal of tumors combined with radiotherapy is aid to extend the patient's survival time.
