Objective To investigate the clinical features,etiology and related clinical factors in neonatal anemia.Methods Two hundreds and sixty four infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between January 2009 to March 2012 were retrospectively analysed with different levels,different age,different gestational age.Results Among 264 patients,the occupancy of blood loss anemia was 54.5 %.Mild and medium neonatal anemia were more than severe anemia (172 vs 92).Fetomaternal hemorrhage syndrome occurred commonly in severe anemia (16.3%,15/92).Early anemia was more than late anemia(182 vs 82).Hemorrhagic anemia in early anemia (64.3%,117/82)occurred mainly.Late anemia with infection mainly (67.1%,55/82).Fetomaternal hemorrhage syndrome were all early anemia and term to account for a higher proportion (94.4%,17/18);twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome occurred commonly among preterm term infants (96.7%,29/30).Conclusion Blood loss anemia was the main etiological factor resulting in neonatal anemia.The incidence of mild and medium neonatal anemia was quite high.Early anemia was more than late anemia.There might be some differences in the etiology between term and perterm infants.

Objective:To study the relationship between smoking behavior and self-esteem of adolescents.Methods:1307 students of the seventh and eighth grades of 8 private schools completed questionnaires about smoking behavior and self-esteem. Results: More cigarettes smoking, less score of self-esteem. Those had quit smoking had higher scores in self-esteem than those can not quit. Students who chose“will smoke in the future”had lower self-esteem than the students chose“won't smoke in the future”.Conclusion:Smoking behavior is a marker of low self-esteem.

Objective To study the mechanisms of Chinese medicine Euphorbia kansui induced liver damage. Methods 40 mices were selected and radomly divided into four groups according to the dose of Chinese medicine Euphorbia kansui used,there were 4 g/kg group(1/8 LD50 ),2 g/kg group(1/16 LD50),1 g/kg group(1/32 LD)50,and control group,which were given saline. After continuous administration for 21 d by ig,the body weight and liver coefficient of mice in all groups were determined,liver histological changes were detected by HE staining. The serum enzymatic activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase (AST),the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),the content of malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide anion radical (O2-·)and hydroxyl radical (OH·)were all measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The changes of reactive oxygen species (ROS)content were detected by flow cytometry. Results With the increase dose of Chinese medicine Euphorbia kansui,the body weight of rats were decreased,and liver coefficient were increased(P<0.05). The serum ALT,AST activity were significantly increased,SOD and GSH-Px activity were significantly decreased(P<0.05),MDA content were increased significantly,radical O2-·, OH·and intracellular ROS levels were all increased (P<0.05 ). Conclusion Chinese medicine Euphorbia kansui induced liver injury though lipid peroxidation.

Objective To clarify the cellular localization of triptolide and to explore its in-cell action sites.Methods 4-(Bro-momethyl)-7-methoxycoumarin was employed to label triptolide,then labelled triptolide was incubated with human hepatoma carci-noma cells.Subsequently,incubated cells were subjected to stain with fluorescent dye DiI or PI,which were specific to cytoplasmic membrane system and nucleus,respectively.Results Compared with the non-triptolide control,coumarin labelled triptolide shown a light blue fluorescence under UV excitation;Co-localization with DiI showed that triptolide exist in cytoplasm and(or)on cell mem-brane;Co-localization with PI showed that triptolide located in cell nucleus.Moreover,microscopic observation indicated that the fluorescence intensity in nucleus was denser than that in cytoplasm.Conclusion The presnt study demonstrate that triptolide main-ly act in nucleus,followed by acting in cytoplasm and(or)on cell membrane.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the parameters of the extraction and purification technologies of total flavonoids from Di-ospyros kaki Thunb. leaves,and then to compare the contents of flavonoids in fresh and dried D. kaki Thunb. leaves. METHODS:Taking the yield of total flavonoids as the investigated index,the influences of liquid-solid ratio,the volume fraction of ethanol and ultrasonic extraction time on the extraction effect were discussed by single-factor and orthogonal test. With the purity of total flavo-noids as the investigated index,the purification effects of such three kinds of methods as ethyl acetate extraction method,alcohol deposition method and macroreticular resin purification method combined with petroleum ether degreasing on the extracted solution were compared. The optimal extraction technology was adopted to extract the total flavonoids from fresh and dried D. kaki Thunb. leaves and their contents were compared. RESULTS:The optimal extraction technology was as follows as liquid-solid ratio of 25∶1 (ml/g),volume fraction of ethanol of 70%,ultrasonic extraction time of 30 min,extraction temperature of 30 ℃. The results of the verification tests showed the average content of total flavonoids was 1.75%(RSD=2.00%,n=3). The total flavonoids in the extracted solution purified by the above-mentioned three purification methods had a purity of 24.92%,15.94% and 35.52% respec-tively,in which the macroreticular resin purification method with petroleum ether degreasing combined with AB-8 resin purification was optimal. The content of flavonoids in fresh D. kaki Thunb. leaves(1.75%) was about twice as much as that in dried leaves (0.87%). CONCLUSIONS:The optimal extraction and purification technologies are simple with good effect,and suitable for large-scale production. Fresh D. kaki Thunb. leaves should be used as raw materials for extracting flavonoids.
