Objective To research the important of prenatal diagnosis and effect of intervention to fetal hydrothorax. Methods The cases of fetal hydrothorax (n=5) were obtained from the Shengjing Hospital,China Medical University between December 2014 and May 2015. All pregnancies were uncomplicated, excluded congenital organic and chromosomal abnormalities during prenatal diagnosis and with a 37 average gestational weeks. The case 1, 2, 4 were unilateral hydrothorax and the case 3, 5 were bilateral. We performed an antenatal thracocentesis to case 1, 2, 3. In case1, the hydrothorax increased rapidly after 5 days, and the patient underwent a cesarean section and ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT);in case 2, the fetal heart rate was decreased to 40-50 bpm suddenly during thracocentesis, and we performed an emergent cesarean section and EXIT for the patient; in case 3, the patient underwent thracocentesis and a meanwhile cesarean section and EXIT procedure. We performed a conservative management to case 4, 5, the hydrothorax resolved spontaneously during the pregnancy and after birth, both patients underwent cesarean section. Results All fetuses were survived, the neonates of case 1, 2 and 3 underwent assited mechanical ventilation, thoracic close drainage, then discharged after hydrothorax resolved and feeding tolerance;in case 4, there was no respiratory distress and hospital treatment;in case 5, the neonate underwent assited mechanical ventilation and conservative management, the hydrothorax has resolved gradually. Conclusions The prenatal diagnosis and antenatal intervention (thracocentesis) may play an important role in fetal hydrothorax treatment. In clinical, we should choose different plan according to the gestation weeks and classification of hydrothorax of the patient.

Objective To discuss the methods and outcomes of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence in different stage. Methods From August 2012 to December 2013, 11 cases were diagnosed with twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence (TRAP) by 3d color Doppler ultrasound in the Maternal ang Fetal Medicine Center ,Affiliated Shengjing Hospital, China Medical University, including 3 cases in stageⅠa, 7 in stageⅡa and 1 case in stageⅡb. We performed expected therapy to 3 cases in stageⅠa and 4 cases in stageⅡa [1 case (case 9) in stageⅡa developed to stageⅡb and was terminated by emergency cesarean section], radio frequency ablation (RFA) selective reduction to 3 cases in stage Ⅱa, emergency cesarean section to 1 case in stageⅡb. All cases except case 1,4 took cesarean section to terminate pregnancy and would be followed up on the aspect of infant′s growth. Results (1) 3 cases in stageⅠa were monitored by sequential ultrasound examination, all donors grew normally, in which 2 acardias arised spontaneous cessation of flow and were implemented of cesarean section after the normal period of gestation; 1 case suffered premature rupture of membrane and experienced the natural childbirth at 34 gestation weeks plus 5 days. The survived average labor weight was 2 923 g. (2) In the 7 stage Ⅱa cases, 3 cases were implemented of RFA selective reduction, 2 cases survived and the average labor gestation was 35 weeks plus 1 day and average labor weight was 2 050 g;in 3 expected therapy cases, 1 case suffered premature rupture of membrane at 34 gestation weeks plus 5 days and experienced cesarean section; 1 case was observed for 3 weeks and the donor was stillborn; 1 case progressed to stage Ⅱb and experienced cesarean section at 34 gestation weeks plus 5 days;and 1 case was lost of follow up. (3) For 2 cases of stageⅡb cases, one was progressed from stage Ⅱa during expected therapy; the other one had been already in stage Ⅱb since visiting and experimented an emergency cesarean section, but the neonate died of heart failure two days after labor. (4) 7 survived neonates were followed up, all had a normal condition compared to kids of the same age, except one suffering a congenital heart disease, patent ductus arteriosus and atrial septal defect and whose weight (6 kg at 7 months) was lighter. Conclusions We should make the diagnosis of TRAP as early as soon and choose appropriate therapy according to the stage. According to our research, cases in stage Ⅰa can undergo an expected therapy under a sequential ultrasound examination;cases in stageⅡa can undergo a RFA selective reduction to improve the prognosis of the donor, which can make a good perinatal outcome.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics of neonatal sepsis caused by raoultella ornithinolytica.Methods:From January 2010 to December 2020, clinical data of seven cases of neonates with raoultella ornithinolytica sepsis in the Department of Neonatology of our hospital were analyzed. Literature published from the establishment of the databases to December 31, 2020 were searched and reviewed on this topic. The databases included PubMed, Web of Science, Embase database, Wanfang Database, CNKI, National Science and Technology Library and Chinese Science Paper Online.Results:Among the 7 cases admitted to our hospital, 6 male and 1 female, 6 premature and 1 full-term small-for-gestational-age (SGA), 6 patients presented with lethargy, 5 patients had fever and 3 showed dyspnea. 4 patients had necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), 1 congenital intestinal malrotation, 1 congenital jejunal atresia, 1 intestinal adhesion and stricture. 4 patients had history of surgery. Leucocytosis was found in 3 cases and leukopenia in 1 case. Thrombocytopenia and increased inflammatory indicators were found in all cases. All 7 patients recovered and were discharged. 4 articles on 4 newborn cases (3 males, 1 female including two premature infants) were found for literature review. 3 cases had skin flushing, 3 cases showed dyspnea, 2 cases had fever and 1 case presented with lethargy. 1 case received surgery for congenital heart disease. Leucocytosis was found in 2 cases, leukopenia in 1 case, thrombocytopenia in 2 cases and elevated inflammatory indicators in 3 cases. 1 patient died due to septic shock and the other three recovered and were discharged.Conclusions:Raoultella ornithinolytica neonatal sepsis may occur in infants with intestinal comorbidities, history of invasive procedures, premature birth or full-term SGA and congenital malformations. Most anti-infective therapies are effective. However, if the patient had septic shock, the prognosis is poor.

Objective:To study the protective effect of polygalasaponin F (PGSF) on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial ischemia (MI) injury in neonatal rats and its possible mechanism.Methods:Fifty newborn Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, low, medium and high dose PGSF groups (5, 10, 50 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. The rats in the control group were treated with normal saline; Myocardial ischemia (MI) model was established in model group by subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol (ISO, 85 mg/kg, once a day); The MI model was established in rats of low, medium and high dose PGSF group after intraperitoneal injection of 5, 10 and 50 mg/kg PGSF for 7 days. The cardiac function of rats in each group was evaluated by echocardiography; pathological changes of myocardial tissue of rats in each group were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining; The serum activities of troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), myoglobin (Mb) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of rats in each group were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and active oxygen species (ROS) in myocardial tissue were detected ; the expression of nuclear proliferation antigen (Ki67) and caspase-3 protein in myocardial tissue was detected by immunohistochemical staining; The expression of protein kinase B (AKT) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein in myocardium was detected by Western blot.Results:In the model group, the myocardial structure was disordered, the cells were congested and swollen, and there were a lot of inflammatory cells infiltrating and large necrotic foci. The left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), fractional shortening (FS), heart rate (HR) and expression of Ki67 positive protein in the model group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05), while the left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), activities of cTnI, CK-MB, Mb, LDH in serum, content of ROS and MDA in myocardial tissue and caspase-3 positive protein in the model group were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the degree of myocardial pathological changes in neonatal rats of the low, medium and high dose PGSF groups gradually decreased. Compared with model group, the LVWT, LVEF, FS, HR and expression of Ki67 positive protein increased in low, medium and high dose PGSF groups (all P<0.05), while the LVESV, activities of cTnI, CK-MB, Mb and LDH in serum, content of ROS and MDA in myocardial tissue and the expression of caspase-3 positive protein decreased (all P<0.05); Western blot results showed that the relative expression of phosphorylated(p)-AKT/AKT, p-Nrf2/Nrf2 protein in myocardium of model group was lower than that of control group (all P<0.05); The relative expression of p-AKT/AKT, p-Nrf2/Nrf2 protein in myocardium of low, medium and high dose PGSF groups were higher than that in the model group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:PGSF has protective effect on MI injury in neonatal rats, and its mechanism may be related to anti-apoptosis and anti-oxidative stress.

OBJECTIVETo study the morphological characteristics and immunophenotype of highly cellular leiomyoma (HCL) of uterus, compared with that of uterine endometrial stromal tumors (EST).
METHODSHE and immuno-stained sections EnVision method from 20 cases of HCL, 21 cases of EST and 1 case of stromomyoma were reviewed. Monoclonal antibodies against h-caldesmon, calponin, CD10, desmin and smooth muscle actin (SMA) were used for immunohistochemistry studies.
RESULTSOn microscopic examination, HCL were densely cellular and composed of cells that ranged from spindle-shaped to round with scanty cytoplasm. A focal fascicular pattern was present in all cases. Blood vessels with large, thick muscular walls were a conspicuous feature of the majority of tumors. Cleft-like spaces were present in 9 tumors and 15 cases exhibited irregular focal extensions into the adjacent myometrium. ESTs were composed of cells that resembled endometrial stromal cells of proliferative endometrium. These cases included a significant component of delicate blood vessels similar to spiral arterioles. All 20 low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma cases had infiltrative growth to adjacent myometrium. Immunoreactivities of HCL for h-caldesmon, calponin, CD10, Desmin and SMA were 80.0% (16/20), 100% (20/20), 0 (0/20), 95.0% (19/20) and 100% (20/20), respectively, whereas the positive rates of EST were 4.7% (1/21), 23.8% (5/21), 66.7% (14/21), 23.8% (5/21) and 19.0% (4/21), respectively (P = 0.001).
CONCLUSIONSHighly cellular leiomyomas have distinct morphologic features. H-caldesmon, calponin, CD10, desmin and SMA are helpful in the differential diagnosis of HCL and EST.

Objective:To confirm the transportation and evaporation efficiency of micro droplets sprayed by high-pressure nozzles from purified tritium-containing wastewater with carrier gas in the horizontal evaporation chamber.Methods:A scale test bench with a single high-pressure nozzle had been built based on design conditions and similarity criteria to explore the designed evaporation characteristics of generated micro droplets in the horizontal evaporation chamber. At the same time, combined with experimental data, a suitable evaporation model was constructed using the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) in Ansys Fluent. On this basis, further simulation and analysis were conducted on the evaporation process and efficiency under the condition of multiple nozzles in the desighed horizontal evaporation chamber.Results:For single nozzle tests, the particle size of micro droplets along the nozzle centerline was between 12-50 μm and the particle size distribution was similar to the Rosin-Rammler distribution. Besides, the relative light intensity decreased exponentially with distance, indicating that the particle size and concentration of micro droplets both decreased rapidly, which means the evaporation rate of micro droplets was rapid. For the simulation of multiple nozzles injection in the desighed horizontal evaporation chamber, even for the hardest design condition, the evaporation percentage reached up to 99%, and small amount of the escaping micro droplets continued to evaporate during the process of mixing with other process exhaust until complete evaporation in the vertical chimney section.Conclusions:Under the conditions of desighed sprayed particle size distribution, typical operating conditions and the incoming flow similar to the supposed area, the complete evaporation of the micro droplets can be basically achieved in the horizontal evaporation chamber, so as to ensure the complete evaporation of purified tritium-containing wastewater from the outlet of the chimney.
