Objective To study the value of high frequency ultrasound in predicting spontaneous closure of patent duct arteriosus (PDA) in premature neonates. Methods One hundred and seventy premature neonates aged less than 37 weeks of gestation were enrolled. They were all admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit of Jinhua People′ s Hospital within 24 hours after birth. Echocardiographic examinations was conducted using GE′s Vivid I Portable color Doppler ultrasonography with routine cardiac probe (frequency 1.7-3.4 MHz) and high-frequency transducer (frequency 7.5 MHz). Up to the 7th day, the echocardiography was carried out every day after birth until the closure of PDA .They were divided to two groups according to whether spontaneous closure of PDA took place with in 7 days after birth (the control group) or not (the PDA group). There were 16 premature neonates in PDA group, including 6 male and 10 female. The mean gestational week at birth was (35.3±1.4) weeks. The mean birth weight was (2 330.9±325.5) g. Thirty-two premature neonates were included incontrol group, including 13 male and 19 female. The mean gestational week at birth was (35.0±1.3) weeks. The mean birth weight was (2 337.5±287.8) g. The clinical characteristics and echocardiographic parameters were compared between the two groups. Results The detection rates of high-frequency ultrasound and routine echocardiography were all 100%. The spontaneous closure rate of PDA in preterm infants at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours were 18.8%(32/170), 61.2%(104/170), 78.8%(134/170) respectively. Within 7 days after birth, the closure rate was 90.6%(154/170), therefore the incidence of PDA in premature neonates was about 9.4%(16/170) in our study. The display rate of entire duct arteriosus using high frequency ultrasound was signiifcantly higher than that using routine ultrasound [82%(39/48) vs 46%(22/48), P<0.001, 100%(48/48) vs 77.1%(37/48), P<0.01]. The diameters of duct arteriosus in PDA group were signiifcantly larger than that in control group [(2.08±0.4) mm vs (1.09±0.22) mm, P<0.001]. However, the remaining echocardiographic parameters showed no signiifcant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). To predict the spontaneous closure of PDA in preterm neonates within 7 days after birth by high frequency ultrasound, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 87.5%, 90.6% and 66.5% respectively using the cutoff point of 1.55 mm. While the sensitivity, speciifcity and accuracy were 75%, 93.7%, 44.15%by routine echocardiography with the cutoff point of 2.36 mm. Conclusions High-frequency ultrasound can conifrm the diagnosis of PDA in preterm infants and it is better than routine echocardiography in depicting the structure of arterial duct. The larger PDA diameter was suggestive of the lower possibility of spontaneous close.

AIM: To study the inhibitory effects of nm23-H1 gene on proliferation and invasion of human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line. METHODS: Recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-nm23-H1 containing full length of human nm23-H1 cDNA was constructed and transfected into a human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line by lipofectamine. Cell strain that expressed nm23-H1 stably was screened out by G418 and named pcDNA-nm23-A549. Expression of nm23-H1 was identified by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Growth curves were drawn to detect the inhibitory effects on cell proliferation. Cell cycle of pcDNA-nm23-A549 was examined by flow cytometry. Atomic force microscopy was used to observe the filopodia on the surface of the cells. RESULTS: Introduction of nm23-H1 obviously inhibited the proliferation of A549. Expression of nm23-H1 did not induce apotosis in A549 cells but increased the percentage of phase G_1 cells and decreased phase S cells. Meanwhile, phase G_1 to phase S transition was restrained. Filopodia in the cell surface was much fewer and its structure changed in cells transformed. CONCLUSION: nm23-H1 is capable of inhibiting A549 proliferation and decreasing its metastatic ability, probably by interfering with cell cycle and cell surface structure.

AIM:Toinvestigatetheeffectofnicotinicacidamide(NAA)ontheinfusiondamageofhuman umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells ( hUC-MSCs) under the condition of instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction ( IBMIR) .METHODS:Normal peripheral blood without anticoagulant at volume of 2.7 mL was mixed with 0.3 mL phys-iological saline (as blank group), CFSE labeled hUC-MSCs (1 ×106 cells in 0.3 mL as MSC group) and CFSE labeled hUC-MSCs (1 ×106 cells in 0.3 mL) preprocessed with NAA at concentration of 10 mmol/L for 24 h ( as MSC+NAA group) , respectively.The mixture was immediately injected into the improved Chandler Loop model, placed in 37℃water bath, and then started the peristaltic pump at the speed of 20 mL/min for 1 h.The number of CFSE labeled hUC-MSCs, platelets, white blood cells were counted and the concentration of complement C3a was measured before and after cycling, respectively.RESULTS: After 1 h circulation, the platelet dissipation rate were ( 29.96 ±10.88 )% in blank group, (77.76 ±19.29)% in MSC group all and (50.13 ±18.10)% in MSC +NAA group; and the leukocyte counts were (37.82 ±13.81)%in blank group, (64.57 ±17.08)% in MSC group and (41.52 ±17.26)% in MSC+NAA group. Compared with blank group, the differences of the dissipation rates in MSC group and MSC+NAA group all had statistical significance.The hUC-MSCs relative survival rate in MSC+NAA group was higher than that in MSC group.C3a concentra-tions in blank group, MSC group and MSC+NAA group were (206.27 ±58.10), (230.47 ±39.61) and (208.37 ± 40.66) μg/L, respectively.CONCLUSION:Co-circulating the mixture of hUC-MSCs with normal peripheral blood with-out anticoagulant in the improved Chandler Loop for 1 h depletes a large number of hUC-MSCs and blood components, and increases C3a, suggesting that this model can induce IBMIR.NAA has a protective effect on the hUC-MSCs in the infusion damage by inhibiting IBMIR, reducing the wastage of the blood components and enhancing the survival rate of the hUC-MSCs.
