MiRNA can regulate cell proliferation and differentiation,and promote the development of organisms.Phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway plays an important role in cell proliferation and differentiation,and also in organ and organization development.Studies concerning miRNA and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways in cardiac development and their relationship might help explain the pathogenesis of cardiac malformations and related diseases.

The Human Milk Banking Association of North America(HMBANA) is a professional association for supporters of non-profit donor human milk banking.HMBANA develops guidelines for donor human milk banking practices.The construction of China's human milk bank has just begun in few areas in 2013.To further promote the development and implementation of donor human milk banking in our country,this review introduce the guideline for establishment and operation of a donor human milk bank which drafted by HMBANA in 2013.The guideline can provide the basis for the development of human milk bank in our country.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effects of feeding very low birth weight infants and extremely low birth weight infants with human donors' milk in China.Methods One hundred and ninety-nine very low birth weight infants and extremely low birth weight infants (VLBWI/ELBWI) admitted to NICU in Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital were analyzed retrospectively (from August 1,2013 to July 31,2014) one year before and one year after the establishment of human donors' milk bank.Only 1 infant's parents(1/199 cases) refused to use donor milk,and 198 infants were fed with donors' milk since their own mothers' milk was unavailable.One hundred and forty-eight infants admitted to NICU from August 1,2012 to July 31,2013 were chosen as the control group,who were fed with formula milk since their own mothers' milk was unavailable.The mortality,incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and sepsis,time to full enteral feeding and hospital stay between 2 groups were analyzed.Results One year before the establishment of breast milk bank,there were 148 cases of very low or extremely low birth weight infants receiving mixed feeding,and 16 cases of them had neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis,the incidence rate was 10.81％.Since the establishment of human milk bank,187 women donated breast milk in the first year and 260 555 mL of human milk were collected and delivered.Only 1 infant (1/199 cases) refused to use donor milk,and 198 infants were fed with donors' milk since their own mothers' milk was unavailable.Nine babies with VLBWI/ELBWI were diagnosed as NEC in donor milk feeding group,and 16 cases were diagnosed as NEC in formula-feeding group.The incidence rate of NEC was lower in the donor-milk-feeding group (4.52％ vs 10.81％,x2 =5.02,P ＜ 0.05).Donor-milk-feeding group reached full enteral feeding[(16.4 ± 5.3) d vs (18.2 ± 6.2) d,t =2.84,P ＜ 0.05] and had shorter period of hospital stay[(35.1 ± 9.5) d vs (37.3 ± 10.4) d,t =2.05,P ＜ 0.05] compared with formula feeding group.The mortality and incidence of sepsis had no difference between 2 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Donors' breast milk is associated with a lower risk of NEC,sooner full enteral feeding and shorter hospital stay.Further research is needed to confirm these findings and measure the growth and long term neurodevelopment effects of donors' breast milk.

Objective To explore the influence of middle cerebral artery blood flow on mechanical ventilation in very low birth weight premature after using Budesonide(BUD) mixed with pulmonary surfactant(PS),and to explore the protection mechanism of cerebral injury.Methods Forty premature infants (gestational age ＜ 34 weeks,birth weight ＜ 1 500 g) with respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) were randomly assigned into study group and control group in Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital from Aug.2010 to Mar.2012.PS and BUD mixture was used in study group (Per 70 mg PS adding BUD 0.25 mg),PS dose of 70 mg/kg,BUD dose of 0.25 mg/kg.Control group was only administered with PS,dose 70 mg/kg.It was administered intratracheally after 30 to 60 minutes of birth in both groups.The index of blood flow rate and blood vessel elasticity of arteria cerebri media [including systolic velocity (Vs),diastolic velocity (Vd),mean velocity (Vm),resistant index (RI) and elasticity index (PI)] were monitored by using transcranial Doppler.Results The Vs increased steadily in study group,but instability in control group,and there were of statistical differences on the 4 d,5 d,6 d and 7 d (t =3.21,2.95,3.12,3.43,all P ＜ 0.05).The Vd increased steadily in study group,but unsteadily in control group,and there were statistical differences on the 4 d,5 d,6 d and 7 d (t =4.21,3.10,3.98,4.56,all P ＜0.05).The Vm of study group was higher than that in the PS group,and there were statistical differences on the 4 d,5 d,6 d and 7 d (t =2.68,2.98,3.98,3.57,all P ＜ 0.05).The RI of study group was higher than that in the control group,and there were statistical differences in the 5 d,6 d and 7 d(t =3.10,3.98,4.06,all P ＜ 0.05).PI steadily in study group,but instability in control group,and there were statistical differences in the 5 d,6 d and 7 d (t =4.18,3.23,3.02,all P ＜ 0.05).The overall incidence of periventricular/intraventricular hemorrhage showed no significant difference,but severe periventricular/intraventricular hemorrhage (grade Ⅲ,Ⅳ) of study group was less than that in the control group (x2 =4.80,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of periventricular leukomalacia was reduced in the study group compared with that in the control group (x2 =3.31,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The very low birth weight infants treated with mechanical ventilation show steady cerebral blood flow and lower incidence of brain injury after using BUD mixed with pulmonary surfactant.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of delayed cord clamping (DCC) in term infants. Methods The data of the Cochrane library, PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI , VIP, Wanfang from 1 January 1970 to 30 April 2013 were searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of DCC in term infants were included.RevMan 5.1.0 was used in the statis-tical analysis. Results Ten studies involving 1623 participants were included. Meta-analysis based on included studies showed that:compared with immediate cord clamping (ICC), DCC improved the hemoglobin levels at birth (MD=2.19, 95%CI:0.36, 4.02) and increased the incidence of polycythaemia (RR=2.87, 95%CI:1.24, 6.62). Compared with ICC, DCC showed no signi-ficant difference in the phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia (RR=2.46, 95%CI: 0.93, 6.52), the hemoglobin levels within 6 months (MD=0.29, 95%CI:-0.17, 0.75), and the incidence of anemia (RR=0.71, 95%CI:0.45, 1.12). Conclusions DCC can improve the hemoglobin level in term infants after birth. However, the appropriate time of cord clamping has not been deter-mined. It is necessary to undertake further studies with higher quality and larger scale to evaluate the optimal time of cord clam-ping.

Objective To evaluate the predictive accuracy of several risk-assessment strategies to predict the risk of significant neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, and to establish the best prediction model.Methods The transcutancous bilirubin (TcB) levels of 4907 term and near-team infants were measured.Trace blood bilirubin levels of the infants whose TcB levels ≥250 μmol/L were detected. Clinical data of newborns and their mothers were collected and were analyzed with Logistic regression model to investigate its correlation with signifrcant hyperbilirubinemia. Clinical high risk factors of significant neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were determined. Accuracy of three prediction methods for significant hyperbilirubinemia was compared by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The three methods included: whether predischarge bilirubin level (within 72 hours after birth) expressed in risk zone on an hour-specific bilirubin nomogram; clinical risk factors other than predischarge bilirubin level; and combination of the predischarge bilirubin risk zone and other clinical risk factors. Results Two hundred and eighty-six newborns (5.8%) were found with significant hyperbilirubinemia. The risk factors of significant neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were divided into three groups according to OR: (1) Major risk factors:predischarge (within 72 hours after birth) bilirubin level in the high risk-zone (OR=96. 39, 95% CI:53.32-174.27, P = 0. 000), large cephalohematoma (OR = 36.45, 95% CI: 10. 02-132.56,P=0. 0076), gestational age 35-36+6 weeks (OR= 30. 72, 95% CI 14.47-65.23, P=0. 0001) and exclusive breast feeding and weight loss was ＞9% of birth-weight (OR=22.44, 95% CI: 4.42-114. 03, P=0. 0016). (2) Minor risk factors: gestational age 37-37+6 weeks (OR=3.26, 95% CI:1.92-5. 55, P=0. 0232), predischarge bilirubin level in P76-P95(OR=13. 64, 95% CI: 8. 10-22.97,P=0. 0001) and bruising (OR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.14-4.71, P = 0. 0497). (3)Protective factors (those factors associated with decreased risk of hyperbilirubinemia): predischarge bilirubin level in low-risk zone (≤P40) (OR=0. 00), gestational age ≥40 weeks (OR=0.21, 95% CI: 0.09-0.44,P=0. 0402) and mixed breeding (OR=0. 75, 95% CI: 0. 58-0.95, P=0.0059). The area under the ROC curve of predischarge bilirubin level was 0. 8687 and 0. 7375 for clinical risk factors other than predischarge bilirubin level. The area under the ROC curve of a combination of the predischarge bilirubin risk zone and additional clinical risk factors was 0. 9367. Conclusions The risk of significant neonatal hyperbilirubinemia could be simply and accurately predicted by infant's predischarge bilirubin level and the combination of predischarge bilirubin level, and clinical risk factors might improve the accuracy of prediction significantly.

Objective To explore the effect of shRNA silenced aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) on WNT signaling path-way during the differentiation of P19 cells into cardiac myocytes. Methods The eukaryotic expression vector of mouse AHR gene was designed and constructed. The interference plasmid was transfected into P19 cell and the positive stains to AHR gene silencing were screened by G418. The mRNA expression of important genes GSK3βandβ-catenin were evaluated by real-time fluorescent quantita-tive PCR during the differentiation of P19 cells. Results The constructed AHR-shRNA plasmid significantly inhibited the expression of AHR gene. Along with the differentiation of P19 cell into cardiac myocytes, in the interference group the expression ofβ-catenin gene was lower whereas the expression of GSK3βgene was elevated than those of control group with significant differences (all P<0.01). Conclusions The interference of AHR gene expression can regulate WNT signaling pathway in the development of heart.

Objective To evaluate the effects of delayed cord clamping (DCC) on preterm infants with gestational age ＜32 weeks.Methods Literatures from January 1,1990 to April 30,2013 in Cochrane library,PubMed,EMBASE,China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database,Wanfang Medical Database and VIP Database were searched.Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of DCC in preterm infants with gestational age ＜32 weeks were screened and evaluated.DCC was defined as cord clamping in 30-90 s after delivery,and early cord clamping (ECC) (＜30 s) was as the control.Rev Man 5.1.0 was used for statistical analysis.Mean difference (MD) and 95％CI were used for continuous data while OR and 95％CI were for categorical data.Results Nine studies (11 articles) involving 373 infants were included.Compared with ECC,DCC improved hematocrit (MD=4.19,95％CI:2.97-5.40,Z=6.74,P＜0.000 01),blood volume (MD=11.70,95％CI:6.02-17.38,Z=4.04,P＜0.0001) and mean arterial pressure of preterm infants with gestational age ＜32 weeks (MD=3.11,95 ％CI:1.30-4.92,Z=3.37,P=0.0008),decreased the usage of volume expansion for hypotension (OR=0.32,95％CI:0.11-0.98,Z=2.05,P=0.04) and the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (OR=0.48,95％CI:0.25-0.92,Z=2.22,P=0.03).Meanwhile,DCC had no influence on the peak bilirubin concentration,the incidence of sepsis,patent ductus arteriosus,retinopathy and intracranial hemorrhage,also no influence on neonatal mortality on dcscharge,mental developmental index and psychomotor developmental index at seven-month old.Conclusions DCC might be a safe procedure to improve prognosis of preterm infants less than 32 weeks' gestational age.However,due to small sample size and lack of data on follow up,it is necessary to launch clinical trials with higher quality and larger scale to further evaluate the effect and safety of DCC.

Objective To determine the effects of feeding donor human milk versus formula milk on very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) and extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI).Methods The Cochrane library,PubMed,EMBASE,Wanfang,CNKI and VIP database were searched for the randomized controlled trials (RCT) that compare donor human milk with formula milk in VLBWI and ELBWI from the establishment of database up to February 2014.The quality of the included studies was assessed.Meta analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2.9 software.The results were expressed by mean difference (MD) and 95％CI for continuous variables,RR and 95％CI for categorical variables.Results Only five trials were included:in quality evaluation,two trials were graded B,and the other three were graded C.Meta-analysis showed that,compared with the formula milk,feeding of donor human milk could reduce the risk ofnecrotizing enterocolitis (RR=0.36,95％CI:0.18-0.73,P＜0.01),but not the risks of sepsis (RR=0.92,95％CI:0.50 1.72,P=0.80),retinopathy of prematurity (RR=1.21,95％CI:0.84-1.74,P=0.31) and in-hospital mortality (RR=0.66,95％CI:0.18-2.37,P=0.52).The significantly lower rates in weight gains in neonatal period (MD=-6.58,95％CI:-11.19 to-1.98,P＜0.01) and body length (MD=-0.30,95％CI:-0.41 to-0.20,P＜0.01)were found in donor human milk compared with formula milk.No significant difference in head circumference (MD=-0.16,95％CI:-0.33 to 0.01,P=0.13) was seen in comparison of donor human milk with formula milk.Conclusions Feeding with donor human milk can reduce the risk ofnecrotizing enterocolitis in VLBWI and ELBWI,but its effects on neonatal growth need to be further studied in large scale RCT.

Objective To explore the effects of miR -30c over -expression on early cardiac development of zebrafish.Methods The single -cell -stage zebrafish embryos were micro -injected with 3 different concentrations of miR -30c mimics in order to model the miR -30c over -expressed animal.Besides,the effects of miR -30c overex-pression on cardiac development were investigated.The mortality rate and the heart rate were assessed.Beside,the gross morphology and heart morphology of the zebrafish were observed.Moreover,the molecular mechanisms underlying miR -30c function in zebrafish cardiac development was explored,and in -situ hybridization was performed.Results Compared with the wild -type embryos,the mortality rate of zebrafish was increased with the rising miR -30c concen-tration.Furthermore,when the miR -30c mimic concentration was up to 8 μmol/L,the mortality rate reached 80% at 96 h post -fertilization.Simultaneously,the heart rate,which was viewed as an important index to cardiac function,was decreased.Moreover,the pericardial edema was getting worse over time with increasing concentration of overexpression. Then,the cardiac specific gene expression on the zebrafish embryos by whole -mount in situ hybridization was ex-plored.The area of the cardiac chamber was extended and the heart tube looping was negatively affected.Besides,the expression of atrioventricular canal marker genes was absent in zebrafish embryos from miR -30c over -expression groups.Conclusion miR -30c can impact the early cardiac development of zebrafish.
