1.Cause analysis of constipation in different age childhood
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(2):127-130
Constipation is a common clinical symptom caused by different pathological and physiologi-cal factors.Because children are different age,the main reason for constipation is also different.The analysis should be carried out by different age groups.The cause and characteristic of constipation in different age child-hood are further explored and analyzed in the article in order to provide reference for diagnosis and to help treat-ment.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors and to take some useful measures to prevent and reduce infection in order to enhance medical quality,to ensure medical security,to strengthen hospital infection manangement and to prevent hospital infection effectively. METHODS We investigated the prevalence rate of hospital infection among our hospitalized patients in 2001,2003 and 2005, respectively. RESULTS The hospital infection rate was 4.6-6.42% in these years.Risk factors and the abuse of antibiotic were decreasing. CONCLUSIONS In order to control hospital infection rate,mensures should be taken including intensively monitoring the departments with high infection rate,strengthening hospital operation,rationally using the antibiotics,and studying the management for hospital infection.

Objective To explore whether ginsenoside Rg1 can attenuate ?-amyloid peptide 25-35-induced Tau hyperphosporylation in rat embryo cortical neurons by regulating the activity of GSK-3? and PP2A. Methods Primary cultures of cortical neurons were prepared from the embryonic day 18?2 in Sprague-Dawley rats. The experimental groups were designed as follows:1.Neurons culture (control group); 2. Neurons exposed to 20?mol/L A?_ 25-35 for 12 hours (A?-model group); 3.Neurons exposed to 20?mol/L A?_ 25-35 and 10 mmol/L lithium chloride (LiCl), a specific inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3?(GSK-3?), for 12 hours (LiCl group); 4.Neurons exposed to 20?mol/L A?_ 25-35 for 12 hours in the presence of 24-hour pretreatment with ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1 pretreatment group) . Western blotting and immunocytochemical staining were used to detect the levels of Tau phosphorylation,total Tau and GSK-3? in cortical neurons. Non-radioimmunoassay was introduced to detect the activity of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Results In A?-model group, the levels of Tau protein phosphorylation in the sites of Ser 396 ,Ser 199/202 ,Thr 231 and total Tau were enhanced. Meanwhile, the expression of GSK-3? was also increased, but the activity of PP2A was unchanged. In LiCl group and Rg1 pretreatment group , the hyperposphorylations of Tau protein and total Tau and the expression of GSK-3? were markedly reduced compared to those of the A?-model group (P

Objective To explore the influence of Clostridium butyricum on the expression of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and tight junction protein claudin-2 in intestinal tissue in newborn rat with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Methods Forty-eight-hour-old Sprague-Dewley (SD) rats were randomly divided into model group, control group, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group, 12 rats each. Rats in each group were fed with milk substitute. The NEC model were created by hypoxia and cold stimulation for 3 consecutive days in model group, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group. Meanwhile, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group were intervened by being fed with Clostridium butyricum 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 g/(kg·d), respectively. All rats in each group were sacriifced on day 4 and the intestines tissue was obtained. The pathological changes had been observed. The expression of VEGF, PCNA, and claudin-2 were detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of VEGFR-2 was detected by RT-PCR. Results The intestines pathological scores was signiifcantly different among ifve groups (P0 . 05 ) with the scores being higher in model group than in low-dose group, mid-dose group, high-dose, group and control group, and being higher in all intervention groups than in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expressions of VEGF, VEGFR-2 , and claudin-2 in model group were higher than those in all intervention groups and control group with them being higher in all intervention group than in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expression of PCNA in model group was lower than those in all intervention groups and control group with it being lower in all intervention groups than that in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expression of VEGF, VEGF-2 , PCNA, and claudin-2 were no different among intervention groups (P all?>?0 . 05 ). Conclusion The expression of VEGF, VEGF-2 , and claudin-2 were higher in rats with NEC, while the expression of PCNA was lower. Supplementation of Clostridium butyricum may protect newborn rats by its act on these factors.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Buyang huanwu decoction on the contents of CD40 and CD40L in the serum of rats with cerebral ischemia. METHODS:Rats were randomized into a sham-operation(normal saline)group,a model(normal saline)group,a positive control [6.75 mg/(kg·d)clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate] group and Buyang huanwu decoction high-dose and low-dose [26 and 6.5 g/(kg·d)] groups,with 20 rats in each group. Suture occlusion of middle cerebral artery was used to establish the rat models of focal cerebral ischemia,which were given drugs ig on the 2nd day after the operation and for 14 consecutive days. Then pathological changes in the cerebral tissues of all groups of rats were observed and the contents of CD40 and CD40L in the serum thereof were detected by euzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS:The rats in the model group demonstrated isch-emia-like pathological change in the cerebral tissue on the side of lesion. The ischemia-like cerebral tissue on the side of lesion in the positive control group and Buyang huanwu decoction high-dose group were improved compared to the model group. The patho-logical change in the cerebral tissue on the side of lesion in Buyang huanwu decoction low-dose group was similar to that in the model group. The contents of CD40 and CD40L in the serum of rats in the model group were higher than in the sham-operation group. The content of CD40L in the serum of rats in positive control group and Buyang huanwu decoction high-dose group were lower than the model group. There were statistical differences(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Except as described above,no other statistical-ly significant differences (P>0.05) were noted. CONCLUSIONS:Buyang huanwu decoction can improve brain cell morphology and reduce cerebral ischemic tissue injury in model rat with cerebral ischemia by a mechanism which may be related to decreasing the content of CD40L.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of hyperintense vessel (HV) in patients with acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion.Methods Seventy-four consecutive patients with first ever stroke(48 male and 26 female,the mean age was (60.7 ± 15.3) years) in the territory of MCA,retrieved from Nanjing Stroke Registry Program between May 2009 and February 2011,were enrolled assubjects.All subjects completed brain MRI,and MRA or DSA indicated proximal MCA occlusion.According to the location and extent of HV,all subjects were classified into 3 groups:without HV,proximal HV and distal HV.Clinical data were obtained and compared among patients with different grades of HV.Logistic regression analysis was employed to confirm the relevant factors of prognosis 90 days after index stroke.Results HV was observed in 49 (66.2% ) of the 74 enrolled patients.Among patients with HV,7 (9.4% ) were classified as proximal HV and 42 ( 56.8% ) as distal HV.Initial NIHSS score ( 11 ( 1 -22) ),10-day NIHSS score ( 13.5(4-25) ),infarction size ( >2/3:5 cases(6.8% ) ),and 90-day mRSscore (3-6 scores:12 cases( 16.2% )) were significantly lower in patients with distal HV than those without (15(6-25),Z=-3.544;7(0-22),Z=-4.461;20 cases(27.0%),x2 =20.916;27 cases (36.5%),x2 =22.689;all P<0.01).The NIHSS score decreased from baseline to that on 10 days and the mRS score decreased from 10 days to that on 90 days in patients with distal HV was more than that in patients without distal HV. Multivariate analysis revealed that patients with older age ( OR =1.111,95% CI 1.036-1.191,P=0.003),high infarction size (OR=3.679,95% CI 1.35-10.025,P=0.011) worsened outcome,whereas distal HV (P =0.012,OR =0.131,95% CI 0.027-0.638)improved outcome.Conclusion Distal HV on FLAIR may predict a favorable outcome in patients with acute middle cerebral artery occlusion.
