Objective To study the current status of catheter - related thrombosis(CRT)in Chinese children through a retrospective analysis of the inpatients in the Department of Medicine,Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University. Methods The clinical data of the inpatients with CRT from November 2010 to November 2013 were collected retrospectively,and the causes,clinical symptoms,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis were ana-lyzed. Results There were 42 cases of children with CRT in Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University. Among the cases,the male to female ratio was 1. 0:0. 5;the median age of onset was 88(2 - 186)months with ﹤ 1 year old counted for 16. 7%(7 / 42 cases)and 13 - 14 years old counted for 11. 9%(5 / 42 cases);the distri-bution differences between the male and the female age were not significant(P = 0. 826). The median time from cathe-terization to CRT onset was 9(1 - 81)days,0 - 10 days after catheterization was the peak of onset(52. 5% ,21 / 40 ca-ses)followed by 10 - 20 days(35. 0% ,14 / 40 cases). The protopathy was usually hematologic tumor,kidney disease or deep fungal infection. Slightly more cases developed CRT on the right side(57. 1% ,24 / 42 cases)than on the left side (38. 1% ,18 / 42 cases). All cases were diagnosed by using B - ultrasound,of whom 28. 6%(12 / 42 cases)were symp-tom - free. After being diagnosed,7. 1%(3 / 42 cases)were treated with conservative methods such as immobilization of the affected limbs and hot compress;7. 1%(3 / 42 cases)had catheter removed;anticoagulant and/ or thrombolytics after catheter removal used in 33. 3% patients(14 / 42 cases). After 1 week,22 cases were reviewed,of whom 54. 5%(12 / 22 cases)had thrombosis reduced(all with intervention),thrombosis growing in 22. 7% patients(5 / 22 cases), and thrombosis did not change in 22. 7% patients(5 / 22 cases). Three cases needed re - catheterization after catheter removal,and all of 3 cases had CRT recurrences(100% ). Conclusions CRT is more common among infants and senior children. CRT usually develops within 20 days after catheterization. Children with hematologic tumor,kidney disease or deep fungal infection are more likely to have CRT. Routine ultrasound test should be conducted to monitor CRT in catheterized children. Once CRT is diagnosed,patients need to be treated with anticoagulants and/ or thrombo-lytics. Catheter should also be removed if necessary. Recatheterization can result in CRT recurrence.

Objective:To investigate the effect of IL-7 on differentiation of thymic T lymphocytes and dendritic cells' differentiation in vitro.Methods:Thymic lobes were apspectically removed from 15-day-old or 16-day-old mouse fetueses and were cultured by the way of fetal thymus organ cultures (FTOC) in vitro.Lobes were cultured in the dishes with or without Interleukin-7(IL-7),then collected the cultured cells respectively.The expression of CD4,CD8,CD11c,B220,Ia,and CD11b was detected by flow cytometry,and the morphology was observed under the ligt microscope.The proliferation of these cells was determined by cell counting.The cultured cells were used as stimulators for allogeneic T cells,whose proliferation were detected later by MTT method.Results:The result of cell counting indicated that the total amount of the thymocytes was decresed obviously after being cultured with IL-7,while the proportion of CD4~+ CD8~+ thymocytes decreased,the proportion of CD4~- CD8~-,and CD4~- CD8~+ thymocytes increased,and no much difference in the amount of CD4~+ CD8~- thymocytes was found.In addition,the amount of B lymphocytes,natural killer cells,and dendritic cells increased in different degree.Conclusion:IL-7 participates in differentiation and development of thymic T lymphocytes and dendritic cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of intramuscular and oral mecobalamin on hematologic markers and neurologic signs in elderly patients with vitamin B12 deficiency.Methods One hundred and twenty-six patients with vitamin B12 deficiency who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into 3 groups,42 cases in each,including the intramuscular group (to receive mecobalamin therapy intramuscularly),the oral group ( to receive mecobalamin therapy orally) and the control group ( without mecobalamin therapy).The changes of hematologic markers including hemoglobin (Hb,g/L),mean corpuscular volume (MCV,fl),serum levels of vitamin B12 (ng/L),folate and total homocysteine (Hcy,μmol/L),and neurological signs before and after treatment were compared among these groups.Results Baseline characteristics among the three groups were similar.After a 6-month therapy,there were no differences in any markers in control group patients in comparison to baseline;for patients in the intramuscular group,the blood vitamin B12 levels increased from (139.13 ± 31.57)ng/L to (328.10 ± 42.35 )ng/L (P ＜ 0.001 ).Hcy levels decreased from (36.29 ± 16.23 )μmol/L to ( 18.23 ± 9.85 ) μmol/L ( P ＜ 0.001 ).Hb rose from ( 125.34 ± 16.21 ) g/L to ( 132.79 ± 15.98 )g/L (P =0.037).MCV reduced from (92.98 ±5.35)fl to (87.65 ±5.74)fl (P ＜0.001 ) ;For patients in the oral administration group,the blood vitamin B12 levels increased from ( 138.19 ± 29.95) ng/L to (487.79 ±32.21 ) ng/L ( P ＜ 0.001 ).Hcy levels decreased from ( 33.27 ± 11.51 ) μmol/L to ( 17.49 ± 10.13 ) μmol/L( P ＜ 0.001 ).Hb rose from ( 125.89 ± 17.65 ) g/L to ( 133.46 ± 16.26) g/L ( P =0.041 ).MCV reduced from (93.08 ± 5.10 ) fl to ( 89.29 ± 5.37 ) fl ( P =0.001 ).After the 6-month therapy,there were somewhat improvement in MMSE scores of the intramuscular ( 28.24 ± 3.89 vs.27.85 ± 3.56,P =0.633 ) and the oral groups (27.97 ± 3.77 vs.27.34 ± 3.15,P =0.408 ) compared with baseline,but the differences were not significant.The achilles tendon reflex of the intramuscular ( 1.86 ± 0.67 vs.1.56 ± 0.61,P =0.035 ) and the oral groups ( 1.79 ± 0.64 vs.1.43 ± 0.51,P =0.006 ) were enhanced compared with baseline.Foot vibration sensation of the intramuscular ( 1.35 ± 0.37 vs.1.06 ± 0.41,P =0.001 ) and the oral groups ( 1.24 ± 0.52vs.1.01 ± 0.43,P =0.03) were improved compared with baseline.After treatment,the serum VitB12 concentration in the oral group were higher than that of the intramuscular group ( P ＜ 0.001 ).There were no significant differences in other indexes between the two groups.Conclusion Mecobalamin,administered either intramuscularly or orally,may improve the hematologic markers and neurologic signs in elderly patients with vitamin B12 deficiency.

Objective:To optimize the culture system for the mesenchymal stem cells from the Placenta Chorion (hCMSC) in vitro by adding the selected cytokines to amplify the hCMSC effectively,with furthermore some preliminary analysis of the hCMSC performed.Methods:Immunohistochemistry was applied to show the localization of the mesenchymal stem cells within the placenta chorion,then the corresponding part of chorion was digested by collagenase Ⅳ to get the cell suspension for primary culture and subculture;Flow Cytometry was used to detect the surface marker of hCMSC,whose proliferation was detected by direct cell counting and the MTT method;then Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA),and DMSO was used combinedly as the inducer in the differentiation of the hCMSC to the neuron like cells,which was then detected by Immunofluorescence staining for the expression of NSE;finally RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of flt3.Results:The result of immunohistochemistry showed CD105~-,CD90~- positive hCMSC was much easier to be found around the blood vessels within the villous of chorion,which then could be obtained by mechanical dissociation and collagenase digestion.bFGF was good at amplifying the hCMSC among all selected cytokines,but FL was showed even obviously effective on the proliferation of the hCMSC.The propagating cells were found to highly express CD73,CD90,CD105;and negative for CD14,CD34,CD45 and HLA-DR.We also found that the hCMSC happened to express PDL-1 the negative co-stimulatory molecules,while their potential to different into the neuron like cells was still well maintained.Conclusion::There is low immunogenicity mesenchymal stem cells within the placenta chorion,both bFGF,FL are shown good effects on the proliferation of the hCMSC,with maintaining their differentiation potential as well.

Aim To investigate the up-regulation of miR-22 through Wnt pathway inhibits the proliferation,migration and invasion in human gastric MGC803 cells induced by diallyl disulfide(DADS).Methods The effects of proliferation,migration,and invasion of gastric cancer cells were evaluated by MTT,wound-healing and invasion assays.Online prediction software was applied to search the target gene of miR-22.Luciferase report gene assay was used to assess the target genes Wnt-1 of miR-22.The expressions of Wnt-1,β-catenin and TCF-4 were tested by qRT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.Results MTT showed that DADS and miR-22 notably decreased the proliferation compared with control group(P<0.05).Wound-healing assay showed that DADS and miR-22 could significantly inhibit the migration of MGC803 cells compared with the control group, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05). Invasion assay showed that DADS and miR-22 could markedly inhibit the invasion of MGC803 cells compared with the control group, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05). Online prediction software to search the target gene exhibited that Wnt-1 may be a target gene of miR-22. Luciferase report gene assay disclosed that Wnt-1 was identified as a direct target of miR-22. Qrt-PCR showed that the expression of Wnt-1 Mrna was respectively down-regulated by DADS and miR-22 compared withcontrol group, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05). Western blot exhibited that DADS and miR-22 obviously suppressed the expressions of Wnt-1, β-catenin and TCF-4 proteins, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05).Conclusion Up-regulation of miR-22 through Wnt pathway can remarkably suppress the proliferation, migration and invasion in MGC803 cells by DADS.
