Objective:To explore the feasibility of ultrasound screening and diagnosis of fetal cleft palate in early pregnancy, analyze and summarize the imaging technology and image characteristics of two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasound in normal fetus and cleft palate fetus.Methods:A total of 10 519 pregnant women participated in the early pregnancy were included from January 2016 to June 2020 in Shenzhen Hospital, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. The palatal line on the standard section of fetal nuchal translucency (NT) measurement was used as a screening marker for routine observation. For fetuses with abnormal palatine line, posterior nasal triangle of coronal plane and axial plane of maxillary alveolar arch of two-dimensional ultrasound were added as the diagnostic sections, and three-dimensional volume data of fetal face were collected, and three dimensional multimodal imaging technology was used to analyze the volume data off-line to determine or exclude fetal severe cleft palate. All fetuses were followed up during the second trimester for deformity scanning and post natal (or induced labor) assessment.Results:Of the 10 519 fetuses, the standard NT plane was obtained and the palatal line was observed in 10 204 cases(97.01%), with normal palatal line in 10 169 cases.In 35 suspected cases, 13 cases were confirmed cleft lip and palate by two and three dimensions ultrasound, and were confirmed by induced labor. There were 7 cases in unilateral side, 3 cases in bilateral, 2 cases in median cleft lip and palate, 1 cases in irregular cleft lip and palate, and no false positive results were reported. Twenty-two suspicious cases were excluded by increasing the two-dimensional sectional and three-dimensional volumetric off-line analysis, and screening after the second trimester and after birth. There was 1 case of missed diagnosis of simple cleft palate.Conclusions:Palatal line is a good screening marker for fetal cleft palate in early pregnancy. For fetuses with abnormal palatine line, the adding of posterior nasal triangle and the axial plane of maxillary alveolar arch, and combining three-dimensional volume data for off-line analysis can determine or exclude severe cleft palate. This study is of great significance for early screening and diagnosis of severe fetal cleft palate, prenatal genetic counseling and prevention birth defect.

Objective To investigate the prottective effect of ulinstatin on lung of rats with sepsis and its mechanism of ameliorating cell apoptosis. Method A total of 40 female SD rats were randomly (random number)divided into the control group and the therapy group (ulinastatin 300 000 u/kg). The rat models of sepsis were produced by the classical method of cecal ligature and puncture (CLP), and the designed doses ulinastatin were given intra-peritoneally to the rats of the ulinastatin group and the same amounts of PBS (phosphate buffered solution) instead of ulinastatin were administered intra-peritoneally to the rats of the control group when the sepsis symptoms appeared usually in 3 hours after modeling. In 12 hours after treatment, lung tissues of rats in two groups were taken for observation under the transmission electron microscopy and detecting the levels of Bcl-2 and Bax protein in lung tissues by using immunohistochemical technique. The levels of the integrated optical density(IOD)of Bcl-2 and Bax protein were detected by using Image-pro plus software and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was calculated. Results Transmission electron microscope showed that lung tissue in control group had inflmmatory changes such as severe congestion and consolidation, and those changes in ulinastatin treatment group (300 000 u/kg)were significantly slighter. There were significant differences in the levels of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 in lung tissue of rats between two groups(P<0.01), and the level of protein Bcl-2 in ulinas tatin group were higher than those in control group. The level of pro-apoptotic protein Bax in control group were higher than that in ulinastatin group (P<0.01). The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in ulinas tatin group was higher than that in control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions Ulinastatin has protective effect on lung tissue in septic rats, and it may inhibit the inflammatory response and in the same time plays a role in inhibiting cell apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical diagnostic value of 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) for the detection of significant coronary artery stenosis ( ≥50% lumen reduction). Methods We enrolled 61 patients (47 male, 14 female; mean age 62.8 ± 9.7 years) with suspected coronary artery disease into the study and performed selective coronary angiography (SCA) within 2 weeks after CTCA examination. Results One patient was excluded from the analysis because of unsuccessful CTCA evaluation as a result of severe coronary artery calcification in 4 vessels. 240 vessels of remaining 60 patients were achieved good coronary artery imaging by CTCA. Sensitivity,specificity and positive and negative predictive value of CTCA for detecting significant coronary artery sternosis on a per-vessel basis were 90.0 % ,91.9% ,84. 7% and 94.8% ,respectively. Conclusions Our data indicated that 64-slice CTCA is a noninvasive method to reliably rule out significant coronary sternosis with high diagnostic value in negative prediction.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) modified bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) on the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in human renal mesangial cells (HRMCs).
METHODSHRMCs were cultured in vitro with medium containing different doses of AGE-BSA or BSA (50,100, 200, 400 mg/L) for 48 hours, or with AGE-BSA (200 mg/L) for different times (12, 24, 48, 72 h). Immunocytochemistry assay was used to estimate the protein level of RAGE. The ROS in cells were measured by flow cytometry and the mRNA expression of MCP-1 were analyzed by semi-quantiative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) after treatment with AGE-BSA or BSA.
RESULTSThe protein level of RAGE was upregulated in the HRMCs with AGE-BSA. The expression of ROS and MCP-1 significantly enhanced by incubation of AGE-BSA in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The effects of AGE-BSA-induced up-regulation of ROS and MCP-1 level was significantly blocked by neutralizing antibodies to RAGE, while the expression of ROS and MCP-1 stood nearly unchanged after cultured with huamn IgG.
CONCLUSIONThe expression of ROS and MCP-1 in HRMCs is induced by AGE-BSA through RAGE, which may have potential effects in the pathgenic mechanism of diabetic nephropathy.
