Objective To analyze the reasonable and suitable level of serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D [25 (OH) D] and Vitamin D(Vit D) supplement of premature infants born less than 32 weeks in the neo-natal intensive care unit. Methods For eligible premature infants hospitalized in our department from March 2016 to December 2017,Vit D 900 IU/d was supplemented one week after birth under the conditions of es-tablishing enteral feeding. The selected cases were divided into two groups based on different blood concentra-tion of serum 25(OH)D at four weeks after birth,for 38 cases≥25 ng/ml as group A and 24 cases 15 to 25 ng/ml as group B. Their bone mass density( BMD) were tested at correct gestational age of 40 weeks and compared with 40 term infants as control group at the same period. Results The serum concentrations of 25(OH) D in group A were (29.23 ±3.08)ng/ml at 4 weeks and (35.13 ±4.67)ng/ml at 8 weeks after birth respectively. At correct gestational age of 40 weeks,13. 2%(5/38) cases demonstrated the lower BMD. The serum concentrations of 25(OH) D in group B were (20. 12 ± 3. 95)ng/ml at 4 weeks and (22. 36 ± 4. 82)ng/ml at 8 weeks after birth respectively. At correct gestational age of 40 weeks,75. 0%(18/24) cases demonstrated the lower BMD. The differences between group A and control group were not statistically sig-nificant(χ2 =0. 06,P>0. 05),and differences between group B and control group were statistically signifi-cant(χ2 =25. 45,P<0. 001). Conclusion Premature should be given Vit D 900 IU/day or more with rea-sonable and sufficient calcium and phosphorus to maintain their concentration of serum 25(OH)D at about 29. 23 ng/ml and re-check their concentration of serum 25 ( OH) D every four weeks.

Objective:To explore the effect of oxidative stress on cognitive function following chest blast injury in mice.Methods:Sixty male C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group ( n=15) and chest blast group ( n=45) according to a random number table. The chest blast group was subgrouped at 1, 3, 7 days after injury for subsequent experiments. A self-developed blast injury device was used to prepare the mouse model of chest blast injury. Toklu score was used to evaluate the behavior changes in mice. Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the changes in spatial memory. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the frontal cortex and hippocampus. Tissue reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay kit was used to detect ROS expression in the frontal cortex and hippocampus. Western blotting was used to assess changes of malondialdehyde (MDA) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) in the frontal cortex and hippocampus. Results:The Toklu score of the chest blast group at 1 day after injury was (6.7±2.1)points, significantly higher than that of the control group [(2.0±0.0)points], as well as those of the chest blast group at 3 and 7 days after injury [(2.7±1.2)points and (2.0±0.0)points] (all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the Toklu score between the control group and the chest blast group at 3 and 7 days after injury (all P>0.05). The Morris water maze test showed that the latency periods at 1 and 3 days after injury were 60.1(60.1, 60.1)seconds and 60.1(56.3, 60.1)seconds, significantly longer than that of the control group [10.1(3.9, 18.3)seconds] (all P<0.01). The latency period of the chest blast group at 7 days after injury was 60.1(30.5, 60.1)seconds, with no difference from the control group ( P>0.05). No significant differences were found in the latency periods of the chest blast group at 1, 3 and 7 days after injury (all P>0.05). In the control group, the pyramidal cells in the frontal cortex and hippocampus were regular in shape, with intensely-stained and clearly visible nuclei as well as uniform cytoplasm. In the chest blast group, diflerent degree of necrosis of pyramidal cells in the frontal cortex and strong cytoplasmic eosinophilia in the hippocampus were observed at different time points after injury. The levels of ROS in the frontal cortex of the chest blast group were (10.43±0.36)RFU/mg and (2.91±0.35)RFU/mg at 3 and 7 days after injury, which were significantly higher than that of the control group [(0.70±0.01)RFU/mg] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The level of ROS in the frontal cortex of the chest blast group at 3 days after injury was significantly higher than that at 1 day [(2.13±0.65)RFU/mg] and that at 7 days after injury (all P<0.01). There were no statistical differences in the levels of ROS in the frontal cortex of the chest blast group at 1 and 7 days after injury ( P>0.05). The levels of ROS in the hippocampus of the chest blast group were (5.39±0.79)RFU/mg and (5.65±1.17)RFU/mg at 3 and 7 days after injury, which were significantly higher than those of the control group and of the chest blast group at 1 day after injury [ (0.73±0.06)RFU/mg and (2.33±0.02)RFU/mg] (all P<0.01). No significant differences were found between the levels of ROS in the hippocampus of the chest blast group at 3 and 7 days after injury and between the ROS levels of the control group and of the chest blast group at 1 day after injury (all P>0.05). The levels of ROS in the frontal cortex and hippocampus showed significant differences between the chest blast group at 3 and 7 days after injury (all P<0.01) but no significant differences between the control group and the chest blast group at 1 day after injury (all P>0.05). Western blotting showed that the levels of MDA in the frontal cortex of the chest blast group were 0.73±0.04, 0.83±0.04 and 0.99±0.06 at 1, 3 and 7 days after injury, which were significantly higher than that of the control group (0.56±0.04) ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The level of MDA in the frontal cortex of the chest blast group was significantly higher at 7 days after injury compared with that at 1 and 3 days after injury ( P<0.05 or 0.01), but there was no statistical difference between 1 day and 3 days after injury ( P>0.05). The levels of COX2 in the frontal cortex of the chest blast group were 2.93±0.02, 4.82±0.15 and 4.76±0.06 at 1, 3 and 7 days after injury, which were significantly higher than that of the control group (1.93±0.06) (all P<0.01). There were statistical differences in the levels of COX2 in the frontal cortex of the chest blast group at 3 and 7 days after injury compared with that at 1 day after injury (all P<0.01), but no statistical significance was found between 3 and 7 days after injury ( P>0.05). The levels of MDA in the hippocampus of the chest blast group were 0.92±0.11, 0.83±0.03 and 0.68±0.03 at 1, 3 and 7 days after injury, which were significantly higher than that of the control group (0.49±0.03) (all P<0.01). There was a significant difference in the level of MDA in the hippocampus of the chest blast group at 7 days after injury compared with those at 1 and 3 days after injury ( P<0.05 or 0.01), but the difference was not statistically significant among other groups (all P>0.05). The levels of COX2 in the hippocampus of the chest blast group were 0.88±0.06, 0.87±0.06 and 0.80±0.06 at 1, 3 and 7 days after injury, which were significantly higher than that of the control group (0.37±0.04) (all P<0.01). There were significant differences in the levels of COX2 of the chest blast group among 1, 3 and 7 days after injury (all P>0.05). Statistically significant differences were found between the levels of MDA in the frontal cortex and hippocampus of the chest blast group at 1 and 7 days after injury (all P<0.01), but no statistical significant difference between the control group and the chest blast group at 1 day after injury ( P>0.05). The levels of COX2 in the frontal cortex and hippocampus were significantly different among all groups (all P<0.01). Conclusions:In the short term after chest blast injury, there will be cognitive dysfunction in mice. Oxidative stress is one of the important contributing factors, and the cognitive damage in the frontal cortex is more serious than that in the hippocampus.

Objective:
To investigate the effects and the potential mechanism of shikonin on rat random flaps.
Methods:
Seventy-two wistar male rats in grade SPF were randomly divided into negative control group, tetramethylpyrazine group (TMP group) or shikonin treatment group. The random skin flap sized 8 cm×2 cm, with a cephalic based pedicle, was performed on the back of the rat. Each group was administered accordingly by intraperitoneal injection once per day for 7 days: shikonin treatment group (1 mg/kg), TMP group (10 mg/kg) and control group (1 ml/kg). Morphological changes of skin flaps were observed by HE staining. The positive expression of iNOS and COX-2 in skin flap tissues after operation were detected by immunofluorescence staining. The serum contents of TNF-α and IL-6 were detected by ELISA.
Results:
Inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory reaction of flap was more severe in control group at different time points after operation. The number of inflammatory cells in shikonin treatment group and TMP group were significantly decreased, compared with controls (

Objective:
To explore the association between the frequency of prenatal care in childbearing aged women and risk of small for gestational age (SGA) among neonatal twins in Shaanxi Province.
Methods:
From July to December 2013, a total of 30 027 childbearing aged women, who were pregnant from January 2010 to November 2013 and had definite outcomes, were selected from 30 districts (counties) of Shaanxi Province by using the multi-stage random sampling method. The questionnaires with a face-to-face survey method were used to retrospectively collect demographic information, pregnancy history, lifestyle during pregnancy, disease history, nutritional supplements, and health care during pregnancy. Information on the gestational age and birth weight of the newborn were obtained by consulting the medical certificate of birth and were registered as twin A and twin B by birth order. Finally, 356 childbearing aged women and their twin babies with complete data were included in the analysis. A generalized estimation equation model was used to analyze the association between the frequency of prenatal care and the risk of SGA among neonatal twins.
Results:
The age of childbearing aged women was (27.44±4.68) years old, of which 79.49% (283 women) were rural residents and 44.38% (158 women) had seven or more times prenatal care. The gestational age and birth weight were (37.64±2.51) weeks and (2 510±497) g, respectively. The prevalence of SGA was 51.40% (183/356) for twin A and 53.37% (190/356) for twin B, respectively. The prevalence of SGA was 44.30% (70/158) for twin A with seven or more times prenatal care and 42.41% (67/158) for twin B with seven or more times prenatal care, which was lower than that for twins with less than seven times prenatal care, respectively [57.07% (113/198) and 62.12% (123/198)] (
