Objective To analyze the short term prognosis of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Methods The clinical data of VLBW infants who were hospitalized from December 2013 to December 2014 and followed up to 6 months of corrected age were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 230 VLBW infants were enrolled. Thirty infants (13.0%) died during hospitalization, 40 infants (17.4%) were given up the treatment, 60 infants (26.1%) were improved at discharge, and 100 infants (43.4%) were cured at discharge. In the 30 cases of death, causes of death were mainly neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (18 cases), pulmonary hemorrhage (5 cases), and sepsis (3 cases). In the 200 survived infants at discharge, at 6 months of corrected age of follow-up, 13 infants (6.5%) were lost to follow-up, and 54 infants (27.0%) died, among whom 40 infants died because of giving up therapeutic intervention due to economic factor or discharges without permission. At 1, 3, 6 month of follow-up, the length and weight of VLBW infants were gradually approaching normal, and, however, at 6 months of corrected age, the length and weight of VLBW infants were still obviously below the children’s growth standard. The length of VLBW infants was more deeply below the growth standard than the weight. In 109 infants who had fundus ophthalmoscope, 21 cases had retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) I, and 7 cases had ROP II. In 98 infants who had the hearing screening test, 5 cases failed in one ear and 11 cases failed in both ears. In 95 infants who had the head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination, 10 cases had intracranial hemorrhage and 9 cases had premature brain injury. In 49 infants who completed the neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA) at corrected age of 42 weeks, the scores were all lower than 35. In 36 infants who were assessed by Gesell developmental scale at the 3 months of corrected age, 11 cases had mild developmental delay and 2 cases had moderate developmental delay. In 24 infants who were assessed at the 6 months corrected age, only 2 cases had mild developmental delay. VLBW infants had a rapid progress in social contact, social behavior, and gross motor movement. Conclusions Economic, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary hemorrhage, and sepsis are pivotal factors for the survival and quality of life of VLBW infants. The surviving VLBW infants have catch-up growth and development.

DOTA and its derivatives are most widely uscd novel bifunctional chelators.They have not only mature synthesis route,but also good coordination and chelating ability.Therefore,DOTA metal complexes of DOTA-peptide conjugates are increasingly used as MRI contrast agents,radionuclide targeted imaging agents and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals in the biomedical field.This review covers the bifunctional derivatives of DOTA,the synthesis of DOTA-peptide conjugates,and the applications of DOTA-peptide conjugate metal complexes.

AIM: To establish an apoptotic model induced by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion(MPP~+) in PC12 cell and assess the effect of Semen Cuscuta extracts on protecting PC12 cell from apoptosis induced by MPP~+. METHODS: The cell viability was analyzed by MTT method,the morphological changes were observed by Hoechst 33258 staining assay,and the apoptosis rate was measured by flow cytometry analysis(FCM).(RESULTS:) Treatment of 0.15 mM MPP~+ for 48 h induced apoptosis in PC12 cells;concentration of 50 mg/L Semen Cuscuta extracts could protect cells from apoptosis induced by MPP~+. CONCLUSION: MPP~+-induced apoptosis in PC12 cell is greatly inhibited by Semen Cuscuta extracts.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of the latent membrane protein 1(LMP-1)gene detection for diagnosing na-sopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).Methods The related researches on the detection of LMP-1 gene in the nasopharyngeal swab secre-tion for diagnosing NPC by PCR were entirely collected by using the computer retrieval or manual inquiring.Two estimators screened the literature according to the criteria of inclusion and exclusion.The quality evaluation was performed by adopting the QUADAS scale.The heterogeneity test was conducted by using Meta-Disc 1.4 software.According to the heterogeneous character-istics,the corresponding effect model was selected for calculating the pooled sensitivity and specificity and the summary receiver op-erating character(SROC)curve was drawn.Results 139 related articles were retrieved,in which 6 articles were finally included. 394 cases of NPC were definitely diagnosed by the pathological golden standard,802 cases were in the control group.The pooled sensitivity and specificity of the LMP-1 gene for diagnosing NPC were 0.90[95%CI (0.87,0.93)]and 0.98[95%CI (0.96,0.99)] respectively.The area under SROC(AUC)was 0.973 7.Conclusion LMP-1 gene has the higher diagnostic value for NPC and could be used for screening and auxiliary diagnosis of NPC.
