Objective To investigate factors and neonatal outcomes associated with histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).MethodsFrom Jan.2008 to Jun.2011,230 women with PPROM at 28 -33 +6 weeks of gestation undergoing deliveries in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College were studied retrospectively.According to placental histopathologic findings,those patients were categorized into two groups,including 138 cases in histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA group ) and 65 cases in non-chorioamnionitis (control)group.Age,parity,gestational age of PPROM and delivery,latency period,oligohydramnios,white blood cell (WBC) count and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level at admission and before delivery,the incidence of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS),neonatal pneumonia,bronchopulmonary dysplasia,necrotizing enterocolitis,early-onset neonatal sepsis,abnormal brain sonography findings and mortality were compared between two groups.Results( 1 ) The incidence of HCA was 68.0.％ ( 138/203 ) in all 203 cases with PPROM.(2) The occurring ruptured membrane gestation in HCA group was ( 31.1 ± 1.5 ) weeks,which were significantly earlier than (32.0 ± 1.3 ) weeks in control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The level of CRP of (8.2 ± 14.9) mg/L before delivery in HCA group was significantly higher than (5.5 ±7.2) mg/L in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of oligohydramnios and cesearean sections were 55.1％ (76/138) and 45.7％ (63/138) in HCA group,which were significantly higher than 30.8％ (20/65) and 29.2％ (19/65) in control group (P ＜0.05).There were no significant difference in patient's age,parity,WBC count and CRP at admission between two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).The latency period did not show significant difference between (140± 116) hours in HCA group and (129 ± 125) hours in control group (P ＞ 0.05).(3) Using multivariable logistic regression models,oligohydramnios ( OR =2.937 ),gestational age of PPROM ＜ 32 weeks ( OR =2.352),serum CRP level ＞ 8 mg/L before delivery ( OR =4.923 ) and latency period ＞ 48 -168 hours (OR =4.439) were significantly associated with HCA (P ＜0.05).(4) The gestational age of delivery and birth weight of HCA group were significantly lower than those of control group [ ( 32.0 ± 1.5 ) weeks vs.( 32.7 ± 1.5 ) weeks,( 1680 ± 379) g vs.(2017 ± 333) g,respectively,P ＜ 0.05 ].The incidence of Apgar ＜7,abnormal brain sonograhy findings, neonatal pneumonia,bronchopulmonary dysplasia,early-onset neonatal sepsis and mortality in HCA group were significantly higher than those in control group [20.3％ (28/138) vs.7.7％ (5/65),14.5％ (20/138) vs.4.6％ (3/65),12.3％ (17/138) vs.3.1％(2/65),5.8％ (8/138) vs.0,6.5％ (9/138) vs.0,12.3％ (17/138) vs.3.1％ (2/65),respectively,P ＜ 0.05 ].The incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis ( 1.5％,2/138 ) in HCA group was higher than that of controlgroup(0) and the incidence of NRDS ( 18.8％,26/138) in HCA group did not show statistical difference with 21.4％ ( 14/65 ) in control group ( P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionsIt was found that HCA was significantly correlated with lower gestational age of PPROM,higher serum CRP level before delivery,prolonged latency period and oligohydramnios in PPROM.HCA could increase the neonatal morbidity and mortality.

AIM:To investigate the timing and efficacy of vitrectomy for patients with vitreous hemorrhage(VH) due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR).METHODS:Retrospective analysis.Patients who presented to our hospital between Feburary 2012 and May 2014 with VH secondary to PDR treated with vitrectomy were included.All patients were divided into three groups according to the duration of VH.A group was less than 1mo for 22 eyes, B group was 1-3mo for 23 eyes, C group was more than 3mo for 25 eyes.All patients underwent intravitreal injection of ranibizumab 1-2wk before vitrectomy, and supplemented or finished panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) intraoperatively or postoperatively.Patients with cataract accepted phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.Eyes filling silicone oil were implanted intraocular lens in the second phase.All patients were followed up 24 to 42mo (mean:28.7mo).We assessed the intraoperative complications such as hemorrhage, iatrogenic retinal hole, and postoperative complications such as vitreous hemorrhage, neovascular glaucoma.Macular edema and best corrected visual acuity were observed at every follow-up.RESULTS:There was no significant difference for other baseline data (P>0.05) but DR stage between three groups (P=0.033).There was significant difference of last follow up visual acuity between three groups (P<0.001).The significant difference can be seen between group A and B (P=0.03).The same outcome showed between Group A and C(P<0.001).There was no significant difference between Group B and C (P>0.05).The percentage of visual acuity was 0.5 and above in the three groups were:41%, 23%, 0 respectively.The patients with visual acuity of less than 0.1 were 5%, 26% and 40% respectively.Silicone oil filling rate of three groups were:9%, 26%, 40% respectively and there was no significantly difference between three groups on postoperative complications (P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Patients with VH due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy undergoing early vitrectomy may get better visual acuity than who accepting delayed vitrectomy.

Objective To observe the roles of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 o (HIF-1 α) in hippocampal neurodegeneration of status epilepticus (SE) rats, and explore whether HIF-1α activation is regulated by NF-κB.Methods A total of 110 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into seven groups : (1) Control group treated with saline (control, n =15), (2) sham group implanted cannula into lateral ventricle and treated with saline (sham, n =15), (3) SE group treated with pilocarpine (SE, n =20), (4) NF-κB activity inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) group treated only with PDTC (PDTC, n =15), (5) SE + PDTC group treated with pilocarpine plus PDTC (SE + PDTC, n =15), (6) SE + HIF-1o siRNA group implanted cannula into lateral ventricle and treated with pilocarpine plus HIF-1 α siRNA (SE + HIF-1α siRNA, n =15), (7) SE + control siRNA group implanted cannula into lateral ventricle and treated pilocarpine plus control siRNA (n =15).SE was induced by injecting lithium chloride and pilocarpine.The seizure of rats was observed.The protein expressions of NF-κB and HIF-1 α in hippocampus of rats were examined by Western blotting.The degenerating neurons in hippocampus were detected by Fluoro-Jade C (FJC) staining.Results Twenty-four hours after termination of SE, the nuclear protein expressions of NF-κB and HIF-1α in hippocampus of rats were increased in SE group (0.57 × 0.06, 0.47 ± 0.07) compared with those in control group (0.23 ± 0.03, 0.20 ± 0.03;P ＜0.05);and compared with SE group PDTC significantly decreased the nuclear protein expressions of NF-κB and HIF-1 α in SE + PDTC group (0.23 ± 0.03, 0.14 ± 0.03;P ＜ 0.05);in SE + PDTC group the numbers of FJC positive cells in CA1 area (28.33 ±5.03) were decreased compared with that in SE group (76.67 ± 13.32);HIF-1 o siRNA injected into lateral ventricle of rats significantly decreased the expression of HIF-1α in hippocampus (0.22 ±0.03) and the number of FJC positive cell in CA1 area (27.34 ±7.02) in SE + HIF-1α siRNA group compared with those in SE group (0.39 ±0.06, 76.67 ± 13.32;P ＜0.05).Conclusions These data suggest that SE can result in activation of NF-κB/HIF-1o pathway in brain.Inhibition of the pathway can attenuate hippocampal neurodegeneration caused by SE, which has the brain protective effect.
