Objective Via observing concentration changes of interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-18 in hippocampus of pilocarpine treated rats after intranasal delivery of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), to explore the possi-ble anti-epileptogenic and neuro-protective role of TGF-β1 in the epiletogenesis progression. Methods Three hours after pilocarpine induced status epilepticus, rats were treated with recombinant human TGF-β1 or the same volume of PBS by intranasal administration. Animals were executed, harvested at 24, 48, 72 h after SE individual-ly. Using the methods of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunohistochemisty (IHC), the concentrations and distribution of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18 were detected in hippocampus. Results TGF-β1 could re-duce the expression of IL-1β and IL-6 in the hippocampus of pilocarpine treated rats effectively (P<0.05 or P<0.01), however, TGF-β1 did not affect the expression of IL-18 significantly( P >0.05). Conclusion By the supplementation of intranasal TGF-β1, classical pro-inflammatory cytokine ( IL-1β, IL-6) are remarkably sup-pressed, TGF-β1 may exert antiepileptogenic and neuropretective effects.

Fetal atrioventricular block (AVB) is a type of fetal bradyarrhythmias. The reported incidence of fetal complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) and mortality of perinatal fetuses and neonates are signiifcantly higher in pregnancies of anti-SSA/Ro-positive mothers than that of anti-SSA/Ro-negative mothers. The auto-antibodies in maternal serum that can be transported into fetal circulation through placenta may damage fetal cardiac conductive system and eventually result in fetal AVB. There are evidences that early diagnosis and proper treatment can improve the prognosis and survival rate of affected fetuses. In this article, the pathogenesis, risk factors, prenatal diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of fetal immune mediated AVB is reviewed.

Objective To analyze the Doppler indices of uterine artery at 11-16 weeks normal gestation. Methods Two hundred and ninty-seven normal pregnant women were consecutively recruited to take routine ultrasound examination at 11-16 weeks' gestation. According to gestational week, they were divided into 6 groups (11-11+6 weeks, 12-12+6 weeks, 13-13+6 weeks, 14-14+6 weeks, 15-15+6 weeks, 16-16+6 weeks). According to the location of placenta, they were divided into 3 groups (central placenta, right placenta, left placenta). Finally, the pregnant women were divided into 5 groups (RI<0.60 group, 0.60-0.69 group, 0.70-0.79 group, 0.80-0.85 group and ≥ 0.85 group) according to resistance index (RI). Doppler indices of uterine artery were measured in each case. Results (1) The PIm, RIm, S/Dm values (the mean PI, RI, S/D values of bilateral uterine artery) were decreased with the progress of pregnancy, but the difference of the RIm, S/Dm were not significant. Only the decrease of PIm after 15 weeks was significant (P<0.05). The mean PIm of each group was:11 weeks 1.96±0.39, 12 weeks 1.94±0.45, 13 weeks 1.79±0.43, 14 weeks 1.79±0.36, 15 weeks 1.51±0.43, 16 weeks 1.50±0.30. (2) The PI, RI, S/D values of uterine artery with placenta attached were lower than the other side. In the left placenta group, bilateral RI difference was-0.04 (t=-3.095, P=0.005), bilateral PI difference was -0.24 (t=-3.232, P=0.004), bilateral S/D difference was-1.00 (t=-2.965, P=0.007);in the right placenta group, bilateral RI difference was 0.04 (t=6.159, P=0.000), bilateral PI difference was 0.43 (t=6.614, P=0.000), bilateral S/D difference was 2.05 (t=6.378, P=0.000);in the middle placenta group, bilateral RI difference was 0.02 (t=4.150, P=0.000), bilateral PI difference was 0.14 (t=4.475, P=0.000), bilateral S/D differencewas 0.54 (t=4.376, P=0.000). (3) According to the RI, incidence rates ofα-notch detected:in<0.60 group both sides were 0;in 0.60-0.69 group, left uterine artery was 0.08, right uterine artery was 0.08;in 0.70-0.79 group, left uterine artery was 0.34, right uterine artery was 0.31;in 0.80-0.85 group, left uterine artery was 0.65, right uterine artery was 0.72;in≥0.85 group, left uterine artery was 0.81, right uterine artery was 0.87. Conclusion The uterine artery Doppler indices of 11-16 weeks maybe a reliable and non-invasive method for examining uteroplacental perfusion.

Fluorescent staining method is a sensitive cytochemical staining method, it can reflect minimal changes of biochemical components of cells. The 7690-Xu fluorescent staining solution prepared with thioflavine can show the heterogeneo- us fluorescence of cells in different stages of differentiation. The younger cells with low degree of differentiation show blue fluorescence, the lower the degree the deeper the color. Along with the differentiation of cells, the blue color of fluorescence deflects to the red color of spectrum gradually, the blue color of fluorescence of cytoplasm changes gradually to bluish, bluish-green, and finally yellow color. The blue color of fluorescence of nucleus changes through greyish- blue to orangeyellow or orange-red.The cytoplasm of cells in various organs with high degree of differentiation appears yellow, and the nucleus orange-yellow or orange-red in color.
