Objective To investigate the relationship between the neonatal period hyperbilirubinemia and dyskinetic cerebral palsy.Methods The data of 36 dyskinetic cerebral palsy children with early neonatal period significant jaundice were analyzed retrospectively. The information of children was obtained through a questionnaire that included the case, severing clinical characteristics and treatment.Results 12 cases (33.33%) were born with hemolytice disease of newborn; 8 cases (22.2%) were born with early onset infection; 5 cases (13.9%) were born with cephalohematome; others were unknown etiologies. 6 cases had serum total bilirubin (TSB) value more than 600 μmol/L (the highest value was 792 μmol/L); 12 cases had TSB value ranged from 513 μmol/L to 600 μmol/L; 14 cases had TSB value ranged from 425 μmol/L to 512 μmol/L; 2 cases had TSB value lower than 425 μmol/L (the lowest value was 396 μmol/L). 2 cases had no TSB data. The time of jaundice significantly turned severer was 156±12.56 hours after birth. The time of jaundice continued was 23±5.62 days after birth. 34 cases had been diagnosed and treated. But the first treatment time of all were later 150 hours after birth.Conclusion As the main risk factor of dyskinetic cerebral palsy, severe hyperbilirubinemia need be valued. How to ease bilirubin quickly in the early stage is much important.

OBJECTIVE:Studies have confirmed that basic fibroblast growth factor stimulating periodontal ligament cells can promote the proliferation of human periodontal ligament cells.so as to facilitate the reconstruction of lost periodontal tissues.By use of different concentrations of basic fibroblast growth factor,the in vitro cultured normal human periodontal ligament cells were stimulated to observe the decorin gene expression in the periodontal ligament cells.METHODS:The periodontal ligament cells were isolated and cultured using trypsin digestion method.The third generation of cells at logarithmic growth phase were preserved in DMEM containing 10% DMSO and 20% FBS frozen crvopreservation fluid,then moved into liquid nitrogen preservation at the second day Immunohistochemistry was used to identify anti-vimentin and cytokeratin staining The sixth generation of human periodontal ligament cells were divided into experimental group and control group.The experimental group was cultured in DMEM culture medium containing basic fibroblast growth factor at the concentration of 0.1,1,10 μg/L under standard conditions for 24 hours;control group was cultured with DMEM culture medium under standard conditions for 24 hours.The intracellular decorin gene expression was determined using RT-PCR.RESULTS:By microscopic observation,the cells in the control group had no significant changes,and cells proliferated in the experimental group,before stimulation the cells at the bottom of the bottle became denser than those in sparse regions.Adding basic fibroblast growth factor into periodontal ligament cells,could significantly decrease the mRNA expression of decorin,along with the increase of basic fibroblast growth factor concentration,the inhibition effect gradually weakened and became the strongest in the 0.1 μg/L but the weakest at 10 μg/L.CONCLUSION:The basic fibroblast growth factor stimulation can promote the proliferation of periodontal ligament cells and inhibit the synthesis of decorin in a dose-dependent manner,0 1 μg/L induces the strongest inhibitory effect.

ObjectiveTo investigate the time, causes and modes of the cerebral palsy children abandoned treatment. MethodsThe information of 50 cerebral palsy children who abandoned treatment were analysed retrospectively. Results and ConclusionCerebral palsy children abandoned their treatment in 3~9 months after treatment mostly. The main causes included their parents had little cognition and confidence to the treatment, or were in financial problem. 10 cases were without any treatment, 18 cases tried unofficial treatment, 19 cases accepted consolatory treatment, and 3 cases fell back on superstition.
