Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2021;36(8):631-634
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, and it has a series of clinical manifestations of encephalopathy.Survivors often have different degrees of neurodevelopmental impairment.In addition to supporting symptomatic treatment, hypothermia is the safest and most effective treatment for the neuroprotection and the improvement of the prognosis of neonatal HIE.However, hypothermia cannot provide complete neuroprotection and is limited by gestational age, time, and facilities and so on.Therefore, clinicians and researchers actively seek for supplements and/or alternative therapies for neonatal HIE.It was reported that stem cell transplantation has a good application prospect in the treatment of HIE.Erythropoietin and xenon and melatonin may also play neuroprotective roles in HIE.In order to provide a better theoretical basis for clinical practices, this paper reviewed the research progress of neonatal HIE treatment.

Objective To investigate the feasibility a nd the clinical significance of modified laparoscopic transabdomimal preperitoneal (TAPP) mesh and suture inguinal herniorrhaphy. Methods Clinic al records of 13 patients with inguinal hernia treated by laparoscopic TAPP mesh plug combined with suture fixation from June 2002 to October 2004 in this hospi tal were retrospectively reviewed. Out of the 13 patients, there were 9 patients with indirect inguinal hernia and 4 patients with direct hernia, including 1 re current patient. The hernia was right-sided in 8 patients, left-sided in 4, and bilateral in 1. Results All the operations were completed succ essfully. The unilateral operation time was 35~85 min (mean, 50 min). No convers ions to open surgery were required and no postoperative complications were noted . The mean duration of postoperative hospital stay was 2 days. Follow-up observa tions for 1~28 months (mean, 12 months) in the 13 patients found no recurrence. Conclusions Laparoscopic TAPP mesh plug combined with suture fixation, characterized by advantages of simplicity of performance, minimal inva sion, little postoperative pain, and quick recovery, is a safe, reliable and eff ective alternative of inguinal herniorrhaphy. This technique can replace the ope n surgery and is recommended for wide application.

BACKGROUND:Transplantation of stem cells has a beneficial effect on myocardium revascularization and improving cardiac function after myocardial infarction, and HLA-G protein contributes to the formation and maintenance of the immune tolerance.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the transplantation effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells at different gestational age with different HLA-G expression levels on myocardium revascularization after myocardial infarction in rabbits.
METHODS:Thirty healthy New Zealand rabbits were selected and were randomly divided into human smal gestational age umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells transplantation group, human ful-term umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells transplantation group and control group. After the rabbits models of acute myocardial infarction had been established, the former two groups were infused different umbilical cord-derived human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells labeled with 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine into the edge and center of myocardial infarct region by multipoint injection. Rabbits in the control group were subjected to an equal volume of serum-free culture medium.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Four weeks after celltransplantation, 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine-positive cells were found surrounding the infarct site in both transplantation groups. Myocardial fibrosis and myocardial infarct size were significantly lower in both transplantation groups than those of the control group (P<0.05), and there was a significant difference between the two transplantation groups (P<0.01). The positive staining of factor VII indicated that capil ary density was increased significantly in the smal gestational age umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells transplantation group as compared with the ful-term umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells transplantation group (P<0.01), and a sstatistical difference was found between two transplantation groups and the control group (P<0.01). Transplantation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with high HLA-G expression increases new capil ary vessels and improves myocardium revascularization. Al indicate that human smal gestational age umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to become the better source of cardiomyocytes transplantation.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of protocatechuic acid(PCA)on the PC12 cell model of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)and to explore its mechanism . Methods Amyloid beta peptide 1-42(Aβ1-42)fiber polymers were identified by immunofluorescence. After PC12 cells were stimulated with the Aβ1-42 fiber polymers, the cellular morphology was observed at different time points of hour 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 , and the cellular viability was tested by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay to monitor the modeling condition. The effect of PCA on PC12 cells was detected after PC12 cells were pretreated with the different contentions of PCA. Autophagy-related marker Beclin1 protein level was detected by Western blotting method to investigate the protective mechanism of PCA. Results Aggregated white Aβ1-42 mass was stable at hour 12 and 24, and showed no significant difference between the two time points, the cell damage rate being 40%. Therefore, we defined culturing time being 12 and 24 hours as the modeling condition of AD model. The cell viability was increased with 200-800 μmol/L of PCA after culturing for 24 hours(P<0.01) , and the Western blotting results showed that the Beclin1 protein expression was up-regulated by PCA. Conclusion PCA prevents PC12 cells from Aβ1-42-induced toxicity, the mechanism being related with the increase of cellular autophagy.
