Objective To investigate the risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in spinal anesthesia patients.Methods A total of 841 patients received spinal anesthesia were visited after operation.Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression to identify risk factors related to PONV.Results PONV occurred in 94 patients (11.2％,94/841).Univariate analysis showed that PONV was unrelated with gender,age,ASA classification,anesthesia mode (P ＞ 0.05),related with operation department (P =0.026),body mass index (P =0.020),education level (P =0.000),history of previous surgery anesthesia (P =0.005),history of PONV (P =0.000),history of kinesia (P =0.002),smoke (P =0.019),intraoperative using of tramadol (P =0.018).Multivariate analysis showed that operation department (OR =4.039,95％ CI 1.331-12.259,P=0.048),education level (OR =3.504,95％ CI 1486-8.260,P=0.015),history of PONV (OR =5.113,95％ CI 1.790-14.606,P =0.002),intraoperative using of tramadol (OR =5.316,95％ CI 1.091-25.908,P =0.039) were identified as independent risk factors for PONV.Conclusions The independent factors associated with PONV following spinal anesthesia include operation department,education level,history of PONV,intraoperative using of tramadol.Identifying patients who are at high risk for PONV will enable the formation of more timely management project.

Objective To establish appropriate correction models of serum marker α -fetoprotein (AFP) multiple of the median (MOM) for prenatal screening on patients with neural tube defect (NTD) at the second trimester to replace the foreign data currendy used in Beijing with a higher sensitivity.Methods A sample of 5815 mid-gestation pregnant women with normal pregnancy outcome were selected including 5557 cases of age ＜ 35 years and 258 cases of age ≥35 years.The regression relationship between AFP median and gestational age was builded by exponential model and the regression relationship between MOM and weight was builded by power model in age ＜ 35 years.The regression relationship between AFP median and gestational age was builded by S model and the regression relation ship between MOM and weight was builded by quadratic model in age ≥35 years.The normal reference values in two age sections were estimated approximately by percentiles method.Results Corrected AFP MOM values with mean value (age ＜ 35 years:1.001; age ≥35 years:1.113) and median value (age ＜ 35 years:0.934;age ≥35 years:0.990) obtained by regression analysis were more close to 1.00 than the data from the software[mean value(age ＜ 35 years:1.164; age ≥35 years:1.254) and median value (age ＜35 years:1.093; age ≥35 years:1.149)].There were significant differences (age ＜35 years:t =65.120,P =0.000;age ≥35 years:t =9.812,P =0.000).Conclusion Correction model for maternal serum marker is more applicable for Beijing population at the second-trimester prenatal screening.

AIM: To investigate the clinical effects of intravitreal Bevacizumab for 26 cases with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in Zone Ⅰ.
METHODS:A retrospective study. Totally 26 ROP infants between September 2013 and October 2014 diagnosed as high - risk ROP in Zone Ⅰ had been treated with intravitreal bevacizumab. They were divided into three groups, pre - threshold ROP, threshold ROP and acute posterior ROP ( APROP ). Postoperative effects were compared.
RESULTS:There were 26 infants (52 eyes) diagnosed as ROP in Zone Ⅰ, including 3 infants( 6 eyes) with pre -threshold ROP, 15 infants (30 eyes) with threshold ROP and 8 infants (16 eyes) with APROP. The first operation recovery rate of three groups respectively were 100% (6 /6), 60% ( 18 / 30 ) and 75% ( 12 / 16 ), which were not significantly different (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSION:Intravitreal bevacizumab for ROP in ZoneⅠ seems effective and has some advantages over conventional laser treatment, which could be first line treatment for high-risk ROP in Zone Ⅰ.

Objectives To explore the humoral immunologic mechanisms of the susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD) in asthmatic children. Methods Plasma samples were collected from 43 asthmatic and 20 non-asthmatic chil-dren. Anit-pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide (PPS)-IgG concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results The mean concentrations of anti-PPS 14, 19A and 23F-IgG were signiifcantly higher in asthmatic children than in non-asthmatic children (P<0.05). The ratios of the asthmatic children who had anti-PPS 14, 19A and 23F-IgG concentrations higher than the protective antibody level (≥0.2 μg/ml ) were 100%for all the serotypes. Conclusions The immune responses of producing anti-PPS IgG to defense IPD were normal in asthmatic children. Asthmatic children may be more susceptive to pneumococcal infection or colonization than non-asthmatic children.

ObjcetiveTo study the chimerism status ot bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) following double-unit cord blood stem cell transplantation (DCBT).MethodsBone marrow mononuclear cells were isolated by ficoll density gradient centrifugation from the patient following DCBT and healthy donors.After cultured for about 20 days,BMSC surface makers,the ability to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblast and the expression of hematopoietic and immune molecules were detected,moreover,chimerism status of BMSC were also evaluated by STR-PCR.ResultsMSC derived from the patient were similar to normal adult BMSC in morphology,surface and differentiation ability.Besides,MSC from the patient can express a variety of hematopoietic and immune molecules normally.The results of STR-PCR showed that the patient demonstrated complete donor chimerism,hematopoiesis in BM and PB were from a single unit cord blood (donor chimerism was 96.4％ and 95.7％,respectively).But the predominant cord blood chimerism of BMSC was 5.4％,the remaining part was from the patient himself.ConclusionSustained hematopoiesis was derived from a single unit cord blood following DCBT.The majority of BMSC were origin from host tissue,mixed chimerism donor part of MSC stemed from the engrafted unit of cord blood.

Viral infections remain the common cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Virus antigens can be recognized by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) in the context of HLA class Ⅰ molecules.T-cell-based immunotherapies are now being included in the clinical practice of transplant recipients to prevent and treat viral infections and complications associated with CMV,AdV and EBV.Here,the current status and future feasibility of CTL immunotherapy for virus infections after allo-HSCT are discussed.

BACKGROUND:There are abundant cel populations in the placenta that attracts more and more attentions because of high content of CD34+cel s. It is expected to become a new source of hematopoietic stem cel s for the treatment of hematologic diseases and other malignant diseases.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the amount of cel s derived from placenta, their colony forming ability, and their chimerism analysis.
METHODS:Five placentas obtained from five healthy ful-term cesarean women were treated with perfusion method and tissue digestion for the cel col ection. Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of CD34+cel s in the placenta and cord blood, fol owed by the culture of cel colonies as wel as regular observation of cel morphology and counting. PCR amplification with sequence-specific primers and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes were used to examine HLA type of placenta, umbilical cord blood, and maternal peripheral blood;Short tandem repeat PCR was used for chimerism analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were more CD34+cel s in the placenta than in the umbilical cord blood. The placenta had good ability to form multiple colonies in vitro, and there were maternal source components in the placenta. It is concluded that the amount of cel s in the placenta and their biological functions exhibit the potential use of placenta as a new source of hematopoietic stem cel s.

Objective To observe the change of the level of blood ghrelin in the children with anorexia and its relationship with insulin sensitivity.Methods Height,weight,body mass index(BMI)of 40 children in anorexia group,20 healthy children in control group were measured;the level of blood grelin,insulin and blood glucose were determined;insulin sensitivity index(ISI) was calculated,then the results in both groups were analyzed.Results Levels of height,weight and BMI in anorexia group were significantly lower than those of control group.The ghrelin and ISI levels in anorexia group were significantly higher than those in control group,but the insulin and glucose levels were significantly lower in anorexia group than those in control group,the differences were significant.Ghrelin level showed negative correlation with insulin and blood glucose concentration in both groups and positive correlation with ISI level.Conclusions The decrease of appetite in children with anorexia may not necessarily result from under-secretion of ghrelin.The increase of insulin sensitivity in children with anorexia may be a response to high level of ghrelin secretion.

To investigate the clinical effect of Gushen Antai pills and progesterone in the treatment of threatened abortion, in order to provide references for early clinical intervention with threatened abortion. The 112 cases of patients with threatened abortion were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group. 56 cases in each group. Patients in the control group was injected with progesterone, the observation group was treated with Gushen Antai pills in addition to the therapy of the control group. Both groups were treated by drugs for two weeks. Their venous bloods (5 mL) were collected before treatment and in 1, 2 weeks after treatment to determine serum levels of β-HCG, P, E2 and CA125. The differences between the two groups after treatment were compared. The total effective rate of the control group and the observation group were 79% and 91.9% respectively, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.05). Two weeks after the treatment, the serum levels of P and E2 in the observation group were significantly higher than before treatment, but the serum CA125 levels decreased significantly after treatment (P<0.05). These indicators showed statistically significant difference compared with that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum β-HCG levels of the two groups were significantly higher than before treatment (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Gushen Antai pills and progesterone had a better clinical curative effect in treatment threatened abortion, which could significantly raise serum β-HCG, P and E2, reduce serum CA125 and increase the tocolysis efficiency, and so it was worth promoted in clinic.
