Objective To analyze the survival rate and hospitalization information for 81 2 cases of very low birth weight (VLBW)and extremely low birth weight (ELBW)infants.Methods The retrospective study was con-ducted in a single center,Department of Neonatology,Hubei Women and Children Hospital,from January 2009 to De-cember 201 4,where the data of 81 2 infants with birth weight(BW)less than 1 500 g was analyzed in regard to perinatal condition,treatment and complications of these in relation to prognosis.Results (1 )A total of 621 cases(76.5%) had favorable prognosis.(2)There was a significant difference in the favorable prognosis rate between different BW groups (χ2 =28.87,P <0.05)and different gestational age(GA)groups (χ2 =1 4.77,P <0.05).The favorable prog-nosis rate for the male infants(χ2 =4.69,P <0.05),puerpera age between 1 7 -25 and 36 -46 years old (χ2 =1 1 .1 9, P <0.05),usage of prenatal hormones(χ2 =8.02,P <0.05),the infants without intrauterine infection (χ2 =8.61 ,P <0.05),the mother without gestational hypertension (χ2 =7.20,P <0.05)and gestational diabetes mellitus(χ2 =1 9.2, P <0.05)were different compared to the control groups.(3)Infants with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) (χ2 =33.31 ,P <0.05)and recovery birth weight within 1 0 days(χ2 =29.65,P <0.05)had higher favorable prognosis rate compared to the control groups,which had significant differences.(4)Infants with intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH)(χ2 =1 3.1 6,P <0.05),respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)(χ2 =7.59,P <0.05),necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)(χ2 =1 3.02,P <0.05)and serious asphyxia (χ2 =6.05,P <0.05)had lower favorable prognosis rates than those did not,with significant differences.(5)Logistic analysis:the lower BW,smaller GA,earlier birth,unused PICC, serious asphyxia,IVH,RDS were risk factors for poor prognosis(all P <0.05).Conclusions The favorable prognosis rate of VLBW and ELBW infants has improved gradually,and is closely related to GA,BW,maternal age,perinatal care,prevention complication,treatment of disease and social factors etc.

This study was conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University for the project of Establishment and Assessment of Ethics Review Platform for TCM Clinical Research. The Ethics Review Platform for Clinical Research is a complete system, which is a Participant Protection System. It includes four as-pects, which are the medical and health institution, ethics committee, ethics committee office, research departments and researchers. In this system, the establishment of research departments and researchers platform is the most cru-cial part. All treatment, protection, risk control, adverse event supervision, which are closely related to the Partici-pant Protection System are completed by researchers. However, during the assessment process, a series of problems were found, such as the current weak ethical consciousness of researchers, less familiar with ethical review process and do not pay equal attention to the participant protection as clinical research. This kind of problem was also found in other hospital assessments in China, which has become a short board of the Participant Protection System.Therefore, from the aspect of the ethics committee, this article presented several ethics problems which should be paid more attention to by researchers such as participant protection, plan design and conduction during the clinical research and also gave some useful advices to change the situation, according to the Assessment Standard of Ethics Review Platform for TCM Clinical Research. In this way, researchers will develop their ethical consciousness and be more familiar with the ethics review process in order to complete key task of participant protection.

Objective This article was designed to observe the effects of astragalus polysaccharides (APS) on glucose and lipid metabolism, and on expressions of proxisome proliferator activated receptors-α (PPAR-α) and its downstream genes in diabetic hamsters cardiomyopathy. Methods Forty-five hamsters were divided into 3 groups randomly: normal control group (15 normal hamsters), diabetic control group [15 streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic hamsters], and astragalus polysaccharides (APS)-therapy group (15 STZ-induced diabetic hamsters administered with APS 2 g/kg per day orally for 10 weeks). The levels of insulin, C-peptide, myocardial enzymes, glycosylated serum protein (GSP) and lipoprotein of all hamsters were measured. The ultrastructure of myocardium was studied, and the gene and protein expressions of PPAR-α, FATP and ACS were also detected by fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Results It was shown that Compared with DM group, the levels of GSP, myocardial enzymes and lipoprotein of hamsters in APS-therapy group were lower, the myocardial ultrastructure of hamsters in APS-therapy group was well-protected, and the gene and protein expression of PPAR-α, FATP and ACS of hamsters in APS-therapy group were higher. Conclusions APS is partly effective in treating diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of the patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),to explore the effect of GDMon pregnancy outcome,and provide reference for early clinical prevention and intervention. Methods Randomly selected 220 GDMpatients who were treated from January 2014 to January 2016 as the observa-tion group,and collected 236 cases of non -diabetic pregnant women in our hospital during the same period as control group.Retrospectively analyzed the risk factors of GDM and the effect of GDM on pregnant women and neonates by questionnaires and clinical data.Results Single factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis showed that the age, history of diabetes,body mass index(BMI)before pregnancy,BMI before 1 week of childbirth and weight of oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)were the risk factors of GDM(OR =2.988,5.684,4.255,3.765,3.051;P =0.003, 0.000,0.000,0.024,0.021 ).The incidences of phydramnion,postpartum hemorrhage,pregnancy period hyperten-sion,premature rupture,premature birth,cesarean section and ketoacidosis in the observation group were higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (χ2 =5.539,11.338,14.103,4.527,8.160, 4.719;P =0.019,0.001,0.000,0.033,0.004,0.030).The incidence of newborn malformation,asphyxia,fetal distress and macrosomia in observation group were higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(χ2 =4.929,5.539,4.163,5.950;P =0.026,0.019,0.041,0.015).Conclusion The age,history of diabetes,BMI before pregnancy,BMI before 1 week of childbirth and weight of OGTT were the risk factors of GDM, which should pay close attention to these people and take corresponding treatment measures,so as to improve the adverse outcome of maternal and infant in clinic.

Objective To investigate the effect of labor induction of full-term pregnancy use of oxytocin,and the incidence of adverse reactions of mode of delivery of cervical dilatation balloon with pubeisheng.Methods The clinical data of full-term pregnant women who were delivered in our hospital from October 2014 to November 2015 were retrospectively analyzed,According to the induction of labor is divided into the way of pubeisheng group and cervical dilation balloon group.The differences of delivery mode,oxytocin utilization,maternal and neonatal outcomes and adverse reactions were observed between the two groups.Results Cervical dilatation balloon group vaginal delivery rate was 90.38％,higher than that of pubeisheng group(P<0.05); oxytocin use rate of 11.54％,lower than that of pubeisheng group(P<0.05); Cervical dilatation balloon group first,second and third labor time is shorter pubeisheng group(P<0.001); The cervical dilation balloon group bleeding more than pubeisheng group(P<0.001),two groups of infection,urinary retention complication rate had no significant difference.Two groups of neonatal aspiration pneumonia incidence rate had no significant difference after the birth of 1min Apgar score difference,and cervical dilatation balloon group after the birth of 5min Apgar was higher than that of pubeisheng group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of cervical dilation balloon in the induction of labor in term pregnancy is better,which can significantly improve the rate of vaginal delivery,reduce the use rate of oxytocin and shorten the labor process,and has the value of clinical application.

Objective To investigate a method to detect the sentinel lymph nodes(SN) of thyroid papillary carcinoma and its predictive value for cervical metastasis of carcinoma. Methods Intraoperative methylene blue dye mapping was performed in 24 cases of thyroid papillary carcinoma. The coincidence rate of frozen section pathology and routine section pathology of SN was observed,and the predictive value of SN for (metastasis) of the cervical lymph nodes was noted. Results SN was successfully detected in 21(87.5%) of 24 cases. The average number of SN was 3 nodes. There was one false negative case, the false negative rate was 4.8%(1/24), and no false positive cases were found. The predictive value of sentinel lymph nodes to (cervical) lymph node metastasis was 83.3%.Conclusions Methylene blue staining to identify sentinel lymph nodes could accurately predict the status of cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid papillary carcinoma.

BACKGROUND:After knee joint replacement, patients are often treated with Rivaroxaban and Enoxaparin Sodium for postoperative anticoagulation, avoiding the formation of deep vein thrombosis in lower limbs. OBJECTIVE:To explore the application effects of different anticoagulant drugs in patients with knee joint replacement. METHODS:Ninety patients underwent knee joint replacement in Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University from July 2011 to July 2014, were randomly divided into two groups, with 45 patients in each group. The experimental group was treated with Rivaroxaban, while the control group was treated with Enoxaparin. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Postoperative drainage volume, total blood transfusion, bleeding index, quantity of blood platelet, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin reduction time, whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, D-dimer coagulation index, HSS score at postoperative 2 weeks, average ecchymosis area, average thigh circumference, and average leg circumference were significantly better in the experimental group, than in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Experimental findings indicate that, both Rivaroxaban and Enoxaparin can exert anticoagulation effect during the knee joint replacement, and Rivaroxaban is better.

Objective To establish Beagle dogs’model of abducens nerves injury and to observe the clinical therapeu?tic effect of electroacupuncture treatment. Methods Twenty-four Beagle dogs were randomly divided into simple crush group (control group) and crush with electrical stimulation group (experimental group). Cisternal segment of the abducens nerve was given a crush injury, then electrodes were implanted to stimulate the abducens nerve and lateral rectus muscle. Distance between the center of the pupil to medial margin of extraocular adjoin was measured from 1 to 12 weeks after opera?tions. Results All procedures used in the study were well tolerated by Beagle dogs. Electrode implantation to stimulate the lateral rectus muscle and the abducens nerve behind of cavemous sinus was successful. There was no statistical significance of the distance between the two groups from 1 to 2 weeks after operations, and the distance was shorter in experimental group than that in control group from 4 to 12 weeks after operations (P<0.01). Conclusion The animal models established to study electroacupuncture treatment of the injured abducens nerves was successful. Electroacupuncture can promote the re?covery of the injured abducens nerves obviously.
