Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2008;11(4):222-225
Objective To investigate the process of Stark cesarean section (CS) and analyze its key procedures and patients outcomes in order to understand its advantages and promote its standardization. Methods Elective Stark CS cases were divided into two groups according to time sequence and procedure difference. Group A refered to cases underwent modified approaches before standardization (n=362), and group B refered to cases afterward (n= 302). Duration of operation, time interval from incision to delivery, intraoperative hemorrhage, postoperative flatus time, postoperative morbidity, duration of retained urinary catheter, urinary tract irritation, wound infection, and abdominopelvie adhesion in the second operation were compared between the two groups. Results The average duration of the operations and time interval from incision to delivery in group B, which were (27.7± 10. 8) min and (4.92±1.21) min, respectively, were significantly shorter than those in group A, which were (35.6±15.2) min and (7.81±2. 79) min, respectively (P<0. 05). No significant differences was found with regard to average intraoperative hemorrhage between group A and B [(214.34±62. 1) ml vs (201.54-53.1) ml, P>0.05]. Postoperative flatus time in group B was significantly shorter than that in group A [(16.85±11.8) h vs (25.9±12. 7) h, P<0. 05]. Postoperative morbidity in group B was significantly lower than that in group A [1.3%(4/302) vs 4.7%(17/362), P<0.05]. The average duration of retained urinary catheter in group B was significantly shorter than that in group A [(15.6±5.3)h vs (26. 2±6.1)h, P<0. 05], and the urinary tract irritation rate in group B was also lower than that in group A [2. 5%(9/362) vs 0(0/302), P < 0. 05)], No incisional infection or delayed healing was found in either group. Rectus muscles, fascia and peritoneum adhesions were found in three cases with second surgery in group A and none in group B. No omentum, peritoneum and visceral peritoneum adhesion was found in either group. Conclusions Compared to the modified Stark operation, standardized procedure decreases operation associated complications and improves maternal outcomes. Therefore, standardized Stark CS should be promoted for better operative outcomes.

Objectives To explore the change of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods Fourty KD pediatric patients, among them 12 patients with echocardiographic abnormalities in acute phase, 25 age-matched non-KD patients were enrolled. The level of serum IL-17 was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in acute and convalescent phase of KD patients and non-KD patients. At the same time, C-reactive protein (CRP), globulin, albumin were detected. Results In acute phase of KD patients, the level of serum IL-17 were signiifcantly higher than that in convalescent phase of KD patients and non-KD patients (P<0.05). The level of serum IL-17 was no signiifcant differences in convalescent phase of KD patients and non-KD patients (P>0.05). In acute phase of KD patients with echocardiography abnormalities, the level of serum IL-17 was signiifcantly higher than that with non-echocardiography abnormalities (P<0.05). The level of serum IL-17 in acute phase of KD patients were positively correlated with CRP and globulin (r=0.750, 0.750, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with albumin (r=-0.779, P<0.05). Conclusions IL-17 may be involved in KD immune pathogenesis. Serum IL-17 is one of the activity index of KD, which associ-ated with cardiovascular damages.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of differentiating into a variety of lineages, including bone, cartilage, or fat, depending on the inducing stimuli, specific growth and differentiation factors.Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) produced by gene engineering has an obvious osteoinductive activity and can induce undifferentiated mesenchymal cells into cartilage and bone irreversibly, resulting in new bone formation. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) modulates chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of bFGF and rhBMP-2 on the differentiation and proliferation of cultured rabbit mesenchymal stem cell in order to find out an optimal way of osteogenesis instead of conventional osteogenic supplements (OS).DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial.SETTING: General Institute of Orthopaedic Oncology, Tangdu Hospital,Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The subjects were rabbit mesenchymal stem cells cultured by the author.METHODS: This experiment was conducted at the Center of Orthopaedic Surgery, General Institute of Orthopaedic Oncology, Tangdu Hospital,Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from June 2004 to December 2004. ①Rabbit MSCs cultured in vitro were treated with different growth factor (100 μg/L rhBMP-2, 100 μg/L bFGF, 10 μg/L rhBMP-2and 100 μg/L bFGF and OS; ②The proliferation and differentiation of MSCs were observed through activity of MTT, expression of alkaline phosphatase(ALP), and von Kossa staining.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: the rate of proliferation and the activity of ALP.RESULTS: ①rhBMP-2 could promote the proliferation and differentiation of MSCs, especially the cell differentiation; ②bFGF could stimulate the proliferation , the cellular proliferation rate increased 100% as compared with control group, and has no effect on differentiation of MSCs , but it could enhance effect on the cell proliferation of rhBMP-2.CONCLUSION: bFGF and rhBMP-2 are effective induction factors for MSCs. Both of them can stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of MSCs in vitro. bFGF and rhBMP-2 exerted a synergetic action in speeding up the pace of osteoinduction and osteogenesis and can be used to differentiate seed cells for tissue engineering bone.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of wave intensity (WI) technique in assessing the short-term effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT). Methods Sixteen patients with congestive heart failure treated with CRT were chosen. Before the implantation of CRT pacemaker and 1 week, 1 month,3 month after it,the diameters and volumes of left ventricle(LV) in the end-diastole and the end-systole were measured by echocardiography. LV ejection fractions(LVEF) were calculated by Simpson's way,and the variation ratio of left ventricular end-systolic volume(△ESV) was assessed each time after the CRT. The maximal rate of LV pressure rise (LVdP/dtmax) was assessed in the continuous-wave Doppler spectrum of mitral regurgitation. The magnitude of W1, and the length of R-W1 interval as well as W1-W2interval were recorded by WI technique applied on the left carotid artery of each patient. Results Compared to the data before CRT,W1 and W1-W2 interval were significantly higher in different period after CRT (P <0. 01). This result was conformed with echocardiographic remodeling data and LV systolic function.Conclusions WI provides a potential usage in conveniently and effectively assessing the CRT effects in short-term.

Spectrophotometric seawater pH measurement system is an urgent need of device due to its quick speed and high precision. Based on spectrophotometric method and flow injection analysis technique, an automated system for pH measurement of seawater was developed by integrating pump and valve flow path, LED light source, flow cell and spectrophotometer. This measurement system effectively avoided bubbles. The indicator of concentration gradient in the seawater sample was used to correct for the pH perturbation caused by the indicator, thus the operation of system was simple and convenient. with this system, only 1. 5 min was needed for a sample measurement with a precision of 0. 0013 pH units and an offset of 0. 0059 pH units. This system could be used for the rapid determination of pH of seawater collected by laboratory or research ship with high precision pH values.
