Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2004;0(12):-
The treatment of cerebral palsy is still a big medical problem.The pathogenesis of spasticity,as result of a variety of lesions of the cerebral cortex,brain stem,spinal cord,is caused by involvement of the inhibitory pyramidal and parapyramidal descending tracts terminating on the spinal facilitatory myotatic reflex.A lesion of the descending tracts disturbs this equilibrium leading to spasticity,which is cha-racterized by muscle resistance at rest that is velocity dependent and associated with an increase in tonic stretch reflexes resulting from hype-rexcitability of the stretch reflex.Spasticity caused abnomal posture,caused special movement,and higher multilation,which affect children's life severely.There are so many ways to lower hypermyotonia,such as:drugs,rehabilitation care,acupuncture and so on.Bioelectric stimulation therapy is a new ways in the zone.Its curative effect and the mechanism are still in explore,this article just to give an overview about bioelectric stimulation therapy in curing spastic cerebral palsy.

Background The proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells is a primary link during angiogenesis.Studies showed that heat shock protein B6 (HspB6) promotes the secretion of multiple angiogenesis-related factors and therefore leads to neovascularization.Understanding the effects of neutralizing HspB6 antibody on the biological behavior of human choroidal vascular endothelial cells has an important significance in the target treatment of choroidal neovacularization diseases.Objective This study was to address the role and mechanism of neutralizing HspB6 antibody in tube formation of human choroidal vascular endothelial cells.Methods Human choroidal vascular endothelial cell line was normally cultured and harvested for total RNA extraction.Expressions of HspB6 mRNA and protein in human choroidal vascular endothelial cells were detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and flow cytometry (FCM).The cells were seeded on 96-well plate covered with matrigel at the density of 2×104/hole.Then the neutralizing HspB6 antibody at the concentration of 100 μg/Land 500 μg/L was added into the medium respectively,and the control cells were set without the addition of HspB6 antibody.The number of capillary tubes was calculated 12 hours after culture by three-dimensional matrigel assay.In addition,0,50,100,500 μg/L of neutralizing HspB6 antibody were added into the cell medium separately for 24hours,cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method was employed to assay the inhibitory rate(IR) of the cells.Transwell test was used to count the cell number across chamber membrane for the evaluation of migration ability of the cells.The apoptosis of the cells was assayed by FCM.Results Both HspB6 mRNA and protein were expressed on human choroidal vascular endothelial cells.The number of capillary tube formation of human choroidal vascular endothelial cells was (67.25±5.75),(60.39±6.41) and (39.76±10.73) /field in the 0,100 and 500 μg/L neutralizing HspB6 antibody groups,with significant difference among them (F =10.210,P =0.012),and the tube number was significantly less in the 500 μg/L neutralizing HspB6 antibody group compared with 0 μg/L neutralizing HspB6 group (P =0.005).The IR of neutralizing HspB6 antibody to the cellular proliferation and migration was enhanced with the increases of concentration and time lapse(Fconcentration =7.485,P =0.002 ; Ftime =16.684,P =0.001).The number of the cells through Transwell chamber membrane was 14.0 ± 2.5,11.1 ± 0.8,6.6 ± 0.1,6.7 ± 0.2 in the 0,50,100,500 μg/L neutralizing HspB6 antibody group respectively,and that in the 100 μg/L and 500 μg/L neutralizing HspB6 antibody group was lessened in comparison with the 0 μg/L neutralizing HspB6 antibody group(both at P=0.000).The apoptosis rate of the cells was (22.73 ± 2.53)% in the neutralizing HspB6 antibody group,which was significantly lower than (13.33±2.08) % of the control group (t=4.967,P=0.008).Conclusions Neutralizing HspB6 antibody inhibits capillary tube formation of human choroidal endothelial cells in vitro in dose-and timedependent manner,probably through suppressing the proliferation and migration and promoting the apoptosis of choroidal endothelial cells.
7.Research advances in diagnosis and therapy of Niemann-Pick disease type C.
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics 2015;17(5):533-538
Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal lipid storage disease associated with impaired intracellular cholesterol trafficking. A wide spectrum of clinical phenotype has been described, with a possible onset at all ages of life from the neonatal period to adulthood, more often in childhood. Typically, hepatosplenomegaly, dystaxia, dysphagia, dysarthria and dementia are presented in NPC patients. Neurologic symptoms vary according to the onset age, but prolonged neonatal cholestasis, splenomegaly, cataplexy and vertical supranuclear gaze palsy are more specific signs to the diagnosis of the disease. Impaired cholesterol trafficking and unesterified cholesterol accumulation in the late endosomes and lysosomals, as a results of mutations in NPC1 or NPC2 genes, are initial for the disease, and defective cellular autophagy, defective lysosomal calcium homeostasis and oxidative stress may all play roles in the physiological processes. The definite diagnosis requires demonstration of unesterified cholesterol accumulated in fibroblasts cultured from skin biopsies or of pathogenic mutation of NPC1/NPC2 genes. Miglustat, the only available treatment approved to date, can alleviate neurological symptoms and slow disease progression when administered earlier.

Objective: To analyze the clinical manifestation of suppurative meningitis of newborn, characteristics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the abnormal manifestation of brain MRI. Methods: The clinical documents of 87 newborn with suppurative meningitis were implemented by using retrospective research, and these patients were divided into refractory group (47 cases) and common group (40 cases) according to the ease or difficulty level. And the clinical appearance and radiography characteristics of brain MRI about suppurative meningitis for newborn were analyzed. Results: In the 87 cases, 38 cases (43.68%) were positive in the culture of blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The occurrence rate of convulsions of refractory group was significantly higher than that of common group (x2=-5.187, P<0.05). The differences of glucose concentration, protein concentration and white cell count between the two groups, respectively, were significant (x2=-4.471, x2=-4.433, x2=-5.739, P<0.05). The abnormal rate of brain MRI of refractory group was significantly higher than that of common group (x2=3.227, P<0.05). The hospital stay time of refractory group was significantly longer than that of common group (t=4.815, P<0.05). Conclusion: The newborn with suppurative meningitis more likely becomes refractory suppurative meningitis when the pathogenic bacteria culture of CSF or blood is positive, and the glucose concentration in CSF is reducing and newborn occurs convulsions. The brain MRI of refractory suppurative meningitis often occurs series of abnormal manifestation including of the white matter reducing in the periphery of ventricle, ventricle expansion or cerebral external gap and so on.

The invertebrate parvovirus Bombyx mori Densonucleosis Virus type 3(Zhenjiang isolate), named BmDNV-3, is a kind of bidensovirus. The most obvious characteristic in the genome of BmDNV-3 is that it has 2 sets of DNA molecular (VD1, VD2),and each of them is encapsidated respectively in the form of single-stranded liner DNA ( + VD1, - VD1, + VD2, - VD2) in equal percentage. So the BmDNV-3 has 4 kinds of virions. Furthermore the sequence of BmDNV-3 is able to encode DNA polymerase itself. Some strains of silkworm revealed complete resistance to BmDNV-3, so they didn' t fall sick. To investigate the difference in the process of infection and replication between the 2 virions ( VD1, VD2) of this bidensovirus, and the difference of the increment in the resistant or susceptible host, the 5th instar larvae of the susceptible silkworm strain (HUABA 35) and the resistant silkworm strain(QIUFENG d) were inoculated determinate dose of BmDNV-3 by oral ingestion. Then the midgut were collected at 9 timepoints. The silkworm cytoplasm actin A3 was used to be normalized gene, so the number of cells in collected tissue could be determined. The result shows that whatever in the susceptible silkworm strain or in the resistant one, the copies of VD1 and VD2 in the genome of BmDNV-3 collected at the different timepoint were almost at the equal level respectively, so that the VD1 and VD2 were replicated with synchronization. The process of infection in the susceptible silkworm strain was devided into 3 partitions, latent period( 2 - 12 hours post inoculation), exponential phase (12 - 36 hours post inoculation)and stationary phase (36- 96 hours post inoculation and there are about 2 x 10(5) copies per cell) . In the resistant silkworm strain, the virus were replicated at a very low level, that was from 6 - 10 copies 2 hours post inoculation to 150 - 200 copies 96 hours post inoculation (about 20 times) . So we predict that the resistance in some of the silkworm strains from BmDNV-3 was a kind of chronic representation that the host carried virus without being caused flacherie.
