【Objective】 To study the risk factors of Hepatitis B Virus intrauterine transmission. 【Method】 Cordal blood from 87 HBV carrier's newborns was tested for HBV markers and PCR-HBV-DNA. Maternal venous blood po stpartum was tested for HBV markers. 【Results】 HBV-DNA positive rate of corda l blood is 1.2%(1/86). Odds Ratio(OR) of positive maternal HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb and HBcAb for intrauterine infection are 0.697(0.586～0.786), 50.792(13.082 ～197.204), 0.103(0.032～0.338) and 2.261(0.587～8.712), respectively. Co rdal HBsAg positive rate of maternal HBeAg positive group was significantly high er than that of only HBsAg positive group (31.0% vs 3.92%), so was cordal HBeA g positive rate (72.4% vs 3.92%). Maternal HBeAg was significantly correla ted with cordal HBsAg, especially HBeAg. Newborn sex wasn′t correlated with intraut erine infection. 【Conclusion】 Positive maternal HBeAg was one risk factor of i ntrauterine HBV infection. Newborn sex wasn′t correlated with intrauterine infe ction.

Objective:To study the diagnosis value of Transcranial Doppler ultrasound for intracranial artery stenosis in patients with cerebral infarction.Methods:A total of 140 patients with acute cerebral infarction,transient ischemic attack and posterior circulation ischemic attack in Department of Neurology,Xinjiang cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease hospital from October 2014 to October 2016 were selected as research object,CT angiography (CTA) and TCD detection were performed in all patients.Used CTA examination results as the gold standard,the detection results of intracranial artery stenosis in two groups were compared,the diagnostic value of TCD and the diagnostic results of TCD to the degree of bilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis were analyzed.Results:CTA diagnosis showed that 140 patients had a total of 105 patients with intracranial artery stenosis,in the anterior and posterior circulation vessel of 1155 intracranial segments,CTA detection showed that 249 vessels were narrow,TCD detection showed that 236 vessels were narrow.Com-pared with CTA,TCD was better in the diagnosis of patients (Kappa value＞0.75).The diagnostic sensitivity and positive predictive value of TCD for MCA were the highest,which were 91.26％ and 93.07％,the consistency was the best (Kappa value =0.917).CTA detection showed that 210 MCA vessels had 103 stenoses,mild stenosis 17,moderate stenosis 41,severe stenosis 45,TCD detection showed that the stenosis was 101,mild stenosis 16,moderate stenosis 40,severe stenosis 45.The Kappa test showed that the diagnostic results of TCD to the degree ofMCA stenosis was better consistency compared with CTA (Kappa value=0.884.Conclusion:TCD has a high diagnostic value for cerebral artery stenosis in patients with cerebral infarction,and it is consistent with the diagnosis of CTA.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the expression of antisense hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (aHIF-1α) during brain injury after asphyxial cardiac arrest and resuscitation in rats.Methods Twenty-four pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-280 g,were divided into 3 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),cardiac arrest and resuscitation group (group R) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Asphyxial cardiac arrest and resuscitation were performed in R and D groups.The rats were tracheally intubated without clipping the trachea in group S.Dexmedetomidine 4 μg/kg was injected via the tail vein at 5 min before clipping the trachea in group D,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in S and R groups.Neurological deficit was assessed and scored (NDS) at 12,24,48 and 72 h after recovery of spontaneous circulation (T1 4).The rats were sacrificed after assessing neurological deficit at T4,brains were removed and hippocampi were isolated for determination of cell apoptosis (by TUNEL),HIF-1α expression (by Western blot) and expression of HIF-1α and aHIF-1α mRNA in hippocampal tissues (using polymerase chain reaction).Apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group S,the NDS at each time point and apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons at T4 were significantly increased,and the expression of HIF-1α protein and mRNA and 5'aHIF-1α mRNA was up-regulated in R and D groups (P＜O.05).Compared with group R,the NDS at T2.4 and apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons at T4 were significantly decreased,the expression of 5'aHIF-1α mRNA was down-regulated,and the expression of HIF-1α protein and mRNA was up-regulated in group D (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine reduces brain injury after asphyxial cardiac arrest and resuscitation is related to down-regulation of 5'aHIF-1α expression in rats.

Objective To study spiral CT features and pathological basis of nodular goiter ,so that to improve the diagnostic accuracy of nodular goiter.Methods CT findings in 34 patients with nodular goiter confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed and compared with pathological findings. Results Thyroid density in the patients with NG was lower than that in the normal. There was no statistically significant difference in the density between single and multi-NG. Most lesions(28/34) were multiple, round or oval, with different size and smooth edges. The density of majority lesions was lower than nearby normal tissue. Most lesions (27/34) were uniform in density. Central necrosis(5/34)often appeared in the bigger lesions(diameter＞3.0 cm). The CT value of the lesions was increased (47.1±42.2) HU after enhancement,but lower than surrounding thyroid tissue. Calcifications in the lesions(6/34)were puncticular,plaque or crustiform. Single or multiple cystic-solid or solid nodules could be seen in pathology, without a continuous capsule in the majority. Some patients (5/13) with single NG shown on imaging study were multi-NG in the pathology. Three cases of diffuse NG showed by CT were malignant in pathology. Conclusion There are certain characteristics for NG on spiral CT. Comprehensive evaluation may improve the accuracy of CT diagnosis.

Objective To make an epidemiological survey on Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Jiangmen City of Guangdong Province. Methods From October 2006 to November 2007, the characteristics of A. cantonensis infection were investigated in Jiangmen district in various hosts, including the third stage larva infection in the snails Achatina fulica and Pomocea canaliculata by digestion method, and the adult A. cantonensis in rats by the dissection of heart and lungs. Relevant symptoms and dietary habits in Jiangmen residents who were randomly recruited were also investigated by questionnaire, and the specific IgG and IgM antibodies against A. cantonensis in their sera were detected by ELISA. Results 695 A. fulica and 720 P. canaliculata were examined. The infection rate of third stage larva of A. cantonensis were 45.0% and 1.8% respectively, with an infectiosity of 53.74?147.30 and 5.23?8.51 respectively. Natural infection rate of A. cantonensis in all 229 rats was 4.4%. Among the 300 people surveyed, 11.3% had a history of eating raw or undercooked fish and shrimp, 5.3% directly or indirectly exposed to A. fulica or P. canaliculata. The positive rate of specific IgG antibody against A.cantonensis for serum samples among residents was 14.0% (42/300), and 5 serum samples in the 42 positive samples showed specific IgM antibody, with a positive rate of 1.7%. Conclusion Jiangmen district is an endemic area of A. cantonensis, and the local residents are under the risk of infection.

Objective To identify whether the branches of cervical nerve roots joined into the accessory nerve trunk or not.Methods In 10 adult cadavers (7 males and 3 females, including 20 laterals of brachial plexus nerves), we observe source of cervical plexus branches to the accessory nerve anatomically.In 10 clinical cases of males with brachial plexus nerve injures, in the supraclavicular approach of brachial plexus exploration, the part of the supraclavicular cutaneous nerve for histological specimen were cut off;in the posterior approach, electrical stimulation of the trunk and branches of cervical plexus were performed to observed istaltrapezius muscle contraction.After accessory nerve transfer, the residual terminal accessory nerve and branch of cervical plexus were taked for histological specimens;and observed and judged of each nerve sample by acetylcholinesterase (AchE) immunohistochemical staining.Results In 10 of 20 lateral cases, cervical plexus communicating branches were derived from the fourth cervical nerve root.The intraoperative electrical stimulation of the accessory nerve trunk, 10 cases of distal trapezius muscle were significantly shrink;electrical stimulation of the cervical plexus branch, 2 cases after stimulation of the mild distal trapezius contraction, the remaining 8 cases without trapezius muscle contraction.10 cases of supraclavicular nerve staining for AchE were negative, 10 cases of accessory nerve terminal branches of AchE staining were mixed,10 cases of branch AchE cervical plexus to the accessory nerve staining were negative.Conclusion The branches of the fourth cervical nerve root constantly joins into the accessory nerve, participating in the trapezius muscle inner vation, the fibers of the branches are sensorial fibers.

As a new interdisciplinary course, the current paper writing course for medical postgraduates exhibits certaln disadvantages. For example, the course does not well target the learners' needs because of the absence of the needs analysis before class;English or biomedical teachers fall to combine English with medicine, thus unable to provide ideal courses. As textbooks are an important means to improve the quality of the course, one way to reform the course is to compile high-quality textbooks by interdisciplinary talents. Meanwhile, the compiling process should be guided by needs analysis as well as the teaching and editing experiences. In addition, the textbooks need to be con-tinuously improved in teaching practice.
