Objective To determine the relationship between maternal negative major life events during the first trimester and incidence of congenital heart diseases(CHD) in their offspring.Methods The 4-2-1 medical information was referred and screen CHD children who were confirmed by Municipal hospitals over.A 1:2 case-control study was carried out with face-to-face structured interviews and telephone interviews to investigate parents of 116 children with CHD and 232 healthy matched children,including the parents′ demographic variables(such as whether the working environment exposure to toxic and hazardous substances 1 year before pregnancy,et al),mother′s experience of previous adverse pregnancy,duration of pregnancy condition(such as maternal negative major life events during the first trimester,the history of catching a cold or fever during the first trimester.The possible risk factors were analyzed by simple factors Logistic regression methods.Then,diagnosing the colinearity among these suspicious risk factors,and rejecting it if necessary.Finally,multiple factors conditional Logistic stepwise regression was used to filter once more.Results The results revealed that maternal negative major life events and taking medicine during the first trimester,mother′s experience of previous adverse pregnancy were related to the occurrence of CHD in the offspring.Moreover,maternal negative major life events during the first trimester play the most important role(OR=1.810).Conclusions Strengthening mothers′ mental health and controlling or reducing maternal negative major life events during the first trimester may be effective in reducing the risk of CHD.

The activity of eNOS was singificantly depressed by a high concentration of glucose in a concentration-and time-dependent manners after incubation of HUVECs with different concentrations of glucose and with high glucose plus insulin for different times.The physiological concentration of insulin can partially reverse the inhibitions of the activity and expression of eNOS induced by high concentration of glucose.

Objective To observe the clinical features of abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA)in the elderly. Methods Seventy-eight elderly cases with AAA were studied retrospectively,the effect of age and AAA size on the growth of AAA were analyzed. Results Risk factors such as smoking,hypertension,hypercholesteremia and artherosclerosis were found in most patients. Aneurysm in other side was found in 25.6%of the patients.Rupture occurred in patients with a larger in size or rapidly developing AAA.The average AAA diameter inerease was 0.1 4 cm/year and it was similar for each age grade.When the AAA diameter was wider than 5 cm,it developed faster.and the growth velocity increased to 0.46 cm/year. Conclusions Age is not a risk factor that affects the development of AAA.If the AAA diameter is≥5 cm,the AAA develops quickly,then active interventions are recommended.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of CT virtual endoscopy on the small intestine (CTVE)technology for intestinal diseases. Methods Forty-nine cases with suspected small bowel disease were tested by CTVE from December 2010 to February 2014. They also were performed. Results Of 49 patients, operation or electronic endoscopy showed that 9 cases were benign tumors,29 cases with malignant tumors,3 cases with intestinal polyps,4 cases with intestinal inflammation,2 cases with bowel dysfunction and 2 cases with normal intestinal. CTVE test showed that 11 cases were with benign tumors,29 cases with malignant tumors,2 cases with intestinal inflammation,1 case with intestinal polyps,4 cases with intestinal dysfunction and 2 cases with normal small intestine. Better consistency between the two diagnosis was seen(Kappa = 0. 70). The accurate rate of diagnosis was 85. 71%(42 / 49). The correct rate of CTVE diagnosis of space occupying lesions was 90. 24%(37 / 41). The correct rate of non occupied lesions was 50. 00%(3 / 6). Conclusion CTVE technology has the advantages of simple operation,safe,painless,and clinical diagnosis of small bowel disease rate is higher especially for small bowel accounted disease. It is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the possible role of mRNA expression of nitric oxide synthase in the abnormal intestinal motility and visceral perception in patients with diarrhea predominant IBS. Methods Anorectal manometry and rectal visceral sensory thresholds were examined in 25 patients with diarrhea predominant IBS and 15 healthy controls by means of electric barostat and perfusion catheter manometer. The quantity of NO was measured using nitrate/nitrite colorimetric assay. The nerve fibers containing NOS in mucosal muscular layer of colon was quantitatively measured with NADPH diaphorase histochemistry assay and computer image analysis. The expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) mRNA was determined with fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ PCR). Results Thresholds of first perception, defecation and pain in patients with IBS were significantly lower than those of controls. The motility indexes of sigmoid and rectum were significantly higher than those of normal controls ( P

Advanced in medical and surgical management have led to reduce mortality in children with congenital heart disease(CHD).However,more recent and ongoing research had been focused on neurodevelopmental outcome.With the improved survival in children follo-wing surgery for cardiac malformations,increased emphasis had being placed on neurological sequelae,especially on cognitive function.Car-diac surgery couldn't correct cognitive disorder,more and more findings suggested that the cognitive disorder of CHD might be the result of utero injury.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2009,24(1):61-64

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of superselective renal artery embolization for the treatment of traumatic renal hemorrhage. Methods Thirty eight patients with traumatic renal hemorrhage were first demonstrated by renal arterigraphy under seldinger technique to ensure the rupture site and degree of renal artery and then followed by percutaneous cathetherized superselective renal arterial embolization through guidance of super slippery guide wire with gelfoam particles or steel coil. Results All 38 patients revealed occlusive abruption of bleeding arteries and disappearance of vextravasation staining after the superselective catheterized renal arterial embolization with gelfoam particles and steel spring coil under DSA. Clinically, all patients urine turned clear without macroscopic hematuria during 1 - 3 days after the procedure. Conclusions Superseclective renal arterial embolization is less aggressive and simultaneously with less complications, good hemostatic efficacy, maximal preservation of renal tissue and function for renal traumatic hemorrhage, which is worthy to be recommended.

Objective To study the primary volume of bone cement and the method of perfusion and the clinical effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty for bone metastatic tumors. Methods Percutaneous vertebroplasty was performed in 218 vertebral bodies of total 150 patients,including 92 males and 58 females with age of 26-85,averaging 56.8 y. 218 vertebral bodies included 73 dorsal vertebra and 138 lumber vertebra and 7 sacral vertebra. Operations were taken under the DSA monitoring. The approach route was selected according to the morphology of the vertebrae,damage extent and puncture site. Results Operation was successful in all 218 vertebrae of total 150 patients with a ratio of 100%. The primary volume of bone cement needed to fill dorsal vertebra was 2-5 ml,average 3.5 ml; that for lumber vertebra was 3-8 ml,average 5.5 ml; and that for sacral vertebra was 4-7,average 5.5 ml. 134 patients showed total pain relief (89.3%); 15 patients had partial remission (10%) and 1 failure (0.7%). The cement extravasated to intervertebral disk in 12 patients,to scleromeninx capsula externa in 10,to para-vertebra plexus venosus in 3 and to paravertebra soft tissue in 4. The incidence of leakage of bone cement was 13.3%,but no complications occurred during and after the operation. Concolusion Percutaneous vertebroplasty provides obvious pain relief effect for vertebral metastasis,worthy to be recommended widely in clinical application.
