Objective To compare the clinical effectiveness of whole blood derived platelets and apheresis platelets in children with hematological diseases.Methods Children were divided into two groups: apheresis platelet group(463 children) and whole-blood-derived platelet group(155 children).The platelet corrected count increment(CCI),percentage platelet recovery(PPR),the incidence rate of post-transfusion refractoriness to platelets(PTR) and adverse reaction were observed and assayed at 24,48 and 72hours after transfusion.Results In the apheresis platelet group,CCI and PPR at 24,48,and 72 hours after transfusion were significantly higher(P

Objective To establish a solid phase extraction(SPE)-high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)method for determination of melamine in foods. Methods Melamine in sample was extracted with extractive agent. After centrifugation, the supernatant fluid was purified by Waters Oasis MCX cartridge,and detected with HPLC method. Chromatographic column of TIANHE C18(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) was used at 35 ℃ and mobile phase was water(containing 0.01 mol/L 1-hexanesulfonic acid sodium salt and 0.01 mol/L citric acid)∶ acetonitrile = 94∶6 (V∶V) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. Injection volume was 20 ?l. Results In the range of 0.80 to 80.0 mg/L, the regression equation was y=84.64 x-6.127 1 with the correlation coefficient of 0.999 98. The detection limit of melamine in foods was 0.5 mg/kg. The average rates of recovery were 88.0%-96.0% and the relative standard deviation was less than 5%. Conclusion The method established in the present paper is applicable to determination of melamine in foods with good precision,accuracy and sensitivity.

Objective To investigate and analyze the expression of α-SMA and PCNA in abdominal aorta and renal artery in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS)combined with hypertension rats. Methods 36 SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group and model group. The model group was subjected to intermittent hypoxia condition for 8h everyday. Rat tail artery pressure was monitored every week and all subjects were sacrificed at 12th week. The level of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and hs-CRP expression in serum were measured by ELISA method. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Results Compared with control group,model rats blood pressure increased significantly (P < 0.01) when exposed for 4 weeks under intermittent hypoxia condition,and reached the peak value of 186mmHg at 12 weeks. The level of TNF-α, IL-6 , IL-10 and hs-CRP in serum were higher than in control group (P < 0.01). Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of α-SMA in abdominal aorta decreased more significantly than control group (P < 0.05),while there was a stronger positive expression of PCNA in model group than those in control (P < 0.05). In addition,compared with control rats, model rats showed a higher expression of α-SMA and PCNA significantly in renal artery(P < 0.05). Conclusion The intermittent hypoxia condition could result in higher blood pressure,while the different expression of α-SMA and PCNA illustrate that high pressure show different reconstruction performance in different vascular,underlying different molecular mechanism.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),treatment,and follow-up of patients with glutaric aciduria type Ⅰ (GA-1).Methods Four pediatric patients with GA-1 diagnosed in our hospital were included in this study.They were treated with special diets and carnitine supplements.MRI and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) were performed,and the mental development indices were measured.Results GA-1 was confirmed 2 months,13 months,4 months,and 7 months after birth.Seizure had been observed before the disease diagnosis in three patients and disappeared after treatment.In all four patients,T2-weighted brain MRI showed frontotemporal atrophy or hypoplasia and enlarged subarachnoid space in the sylvian fissures and anterior to the temporal lobes.Diffusion weighted imaging revealed high-density lesions over both the putamen and globus pallidus.The patients were followed up for 4 to 5 years.Plasma amino acids and acylcamitine profile were monitored every 3-5 months.The mean C5DC level and C5DC/C8 were kept the higher limits of the normal ranges,especially in case 3.During the follow-up,the body weight was at-2 SD-0 and the height at-1 SD-0.Intellectual development test showed that case 1 and case 4 had mildly abnormal intelligence,whereas case 2 and case 3 had extremely severe intellectual disability.Gene test confirmed the presence of gene mutations in all four cases,including IVS10-2A ＞ C homozygous mutation in cases 1,3,and 4 and [IVS10-2A ＞ C] + [c.245G ＞c(p.Arg82Pro)] hybrid mutation in case 2.Two female children were smoothly enrolled by local kindergarten,while two male children were unable to walk alone due to delayed motor development and spastic paralysis.Conclusions The phenotype of GA-1 patients is not remarkably correlated with its genotype correlation.Newborn screening is essential for identifying GA-1 patients.

The general characteristics, outcomes and risk factors of the patients with aortic dissection (AD) were evaluated in a single medical center. From January 2002 to December 2008, 284 patients with AD were treated and followed-up at our institution, including 105 cases of type A AD and 179 cases of type B AD. The patients in each type were divided into three groups according to management: medical treatment group (A or B), open surgery group (A or B), and stent-graft group (A or B). The characteristics and follow-up outcomes were compared between the groups or subgroups. The results showed that there was significant difference in the prognosis for type A AD between medical treatment group and open surgery group, but there was no significant difference in the prognosis for type B AD between medical treatment group and stent-graft group. Independent risk factors of follow-up mortality for patients with type A AD included a history of atherosclerosis (HR, 3.807; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.489 to 7.611; P=0.003), in-hospital hypotension/shock (HR, 4.687; 95% CI, 1.846 to 11.900; P=0.001), in-hospital myocardial ischemia or infarction (HR, 3.734; 95% CI, 1.613 to 8.643; P=0.002), pleural effusion (HR, 2.210; 95% CI, 1.080 to 4.521; P=0.030), branch vessel involvement (HR, 2.747; 95% CI, 1.202 to 6.278; P=0.016) and surgical treatment (HR, 0.177; 95% CI, 0.063 to 0.502; P=0.001). And there were insignificant independent predictors for mortality of the patients with type B AD. It was concluded that there were significant differences in characteristics and one year mortality between type A AD and type B AD, but after one year, there was no significant difference in the mortality and complications of them. There were several discordant risk factors of AD, such as female gender, age, thrombus, abrupt onset of pain that were considered as the risk factors in some papers. And there was no definite risk factor of mortality in this study in the patients with type B AD.

Aim To investigate the effect of sphingo-sine kinase 1 (SphK1 )on unilateral ureteral obstruc-tion(UUO)-induced tubulointerstitial fibrosis and ex-plore the possible mechanism.Methods The CD-1 mice were randomly divided into four groups:sham-op-eration group(Sham),PF-543 treatment control group (Sham +PF-543),model group(UUO)and PF-543 treatment group(UUO +PF-543).On 1 ,3,7 and 1 4 d after operation,eight mice were selected randomly from each group and sacrificed.The protein expressions of SphK1 ,mature TGF-β1 ,FN,ColⅠ,LC3,Beclin1 ,Atg5 and Atg1 2 were observed by Western blot.The histo-logical changes were examined by Masson′s trichrome stain.Immunhistochemistry was performed to measure the levels of expression of SphK1 ,FN and Col Ⅰ. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the autophagic body.Results SphK1 expression and autophagy were both upregulated in a mouse model of kidney fibrosis induced by UUO. Meanwhile, in-creased mature TGF-β1 and deposition of extracellular matrix(ECM)were observed in tubulointerstitial areas compared with sham-operated mice.After intraperito-neal injection with the SphK1 specific inhibitor PF-543 in UUO mice,enhanced expression of SphK1 and acti-vated autophagy were significantly abrogated.Howev-er,aggravation of renal fibrosis was detected when SphK1 inhibitor PF-543 was applied to suppress SphK1 expression in UUO mice.Conclusion SphK1 activa-tion is renoprotective through the induction of autoph-agy in the pathogenesis of kidney fibrosis.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of taurine combined with silybin meglumine in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Methods One hundred patients with NASH were divided into two groups with 50 for each. The patients in the control group received polyene phosphatidyl choline (456 mg) combined with silybin meglumine (100 mg) 3 times daily for 24 weeks. While those in the treatment group received taurine (2 g) combined with silybin meglumine (100 mg) 3 times daily for 24 weeks. All patients were asked to take up basic therapy including drinking without alcohol, restricting sugary and fatty intake, improving food structure, carrying moderate aerobics and lightening body weight. Results At the end of 24 weeks, the clinical symptoms and the liver function ameliorated in two groups. Ultrasonic or CT examination showed that the steatohepatitits was improved significantly in two groups. Additionally, the levels of blood glucose, serum triglyceride and cholesterol as well as BMI decreased simultaneously (all P value <0. 05). Whereas the treatment group was superior to control group in aspect of amelioration of inappetite, nausea and vomiting as well as lever of serum triglyceride (all P value <0. 05). There was no side effect in the treatment group. Conclusion Based on the basic therapy, taurine combined with silybin meglumine can mitigate the degree of NASH, improve the metabolism of blood glucose and lipid with few side-effects.

Objective To explore the value of EUS in the diagnosis,differential diagnosis and follow-up of primary gastric lymphoma(PGL).Methods A total of 26 patients whose endoscopic findings were highly suspected for PGL were enrolled in this study.Initial endoscopic examination anti routine biopsy were performed in all patients.EUS were undergone in all cases and its guided large piecemeal biopsy was administered in selected patients.The results of EUS,routine biopsy and routine biopsy combined with a large piecemeal biopsy were compared.Results Compared with biopsy and histopathological results,EUS made the fight diagnosis in 23 cases with overall accuracy of 88.46%,which was significantly superior to routine endoscopy and biopsy(50.0%,P=0.006),but was slightly lower than that of routine biopsy combined with large piecemeal biopsy(88.5%vs.92.3%,P=1.000).EUS can accurately differentiate gastric malignancy from benign disease with accuracy of 100.0%(23/23).Meanwhile EUS accuracy of tumor invasion(T stage)was 100.0%(12/12)as well.Conclusion EUS is valuable in the diagnosis,differential diagnosis and follow-up of PGL.
