Objective　This study was To investigate the incidence rate of Cockett syndrome and relationship between Cockett syndrome and varicose veins and deep venous incompetence of the left lower extremities.Methods　73 patients(100 legs) with varicose veins of the lower extremities were investigated by descending deep venography and iliography preoperatively.Results　There were 35(47.9%) cases with abnormalities of the left common iliac vein (ALCIV)in all the cases.There were 31 cases with this conditions in the patients with varicose veins of the left or both lower extremity.While in the patients with varicose veins of the only right lower extremity,there were only 4 cases with ALCIV.In contrast,there was a significant difference between groups(χ2=9.8641,P=0.0017).In the patients with ALCIV,14 cases with Ⅲ or Ⅳ grade of deep venous incomptence were found, and only 6 cases with deep venous incompetence in the patients without ALCIV.There was a significant difference(χ2=5.3688,P=0.0205).Conclusion　Cockett's syndrome frequently occurs in varicose veins of the left lower extremity.There is a relationship between them.Cockett's syndrome might be one of the causes for the deep venous incompetence of the left leg.

Acute lung injury(ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) are common,life-threatening causes of acute respiratory failure that arise from a variety of local and systemic insults.The pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS is complicated and not yet completely interpreted today.The role of altered coagulation and fibrinolysis in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS has been investigated.This review will summarize the current understanding of coagulation and fibrinolysis in human ALI/ARDS with emphasis on pathways that could be potential therapeutic targets.These pathways include the tissue factor pathway,the protein C pathway and modulation of fibrinolysis via plasminogen activator inhibitor-1.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of early renal damage in children with Henoch Schonlein purpura(HSP).Methods The clinical data of 196 children with HSP admitted to our hospital from April 2012 to January 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into the renal damage group and non-renal damage group within 90 d after confirmed diagnosis.The related clinical data such as serum immunoglobulin and urinary microalbumin were compared between the two groups,and the risk factors of early renal damage in children with HSP were screened.Results There were significant differences between the two groups on age,joint symptoms,recurrent purpura,persistent rash,gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain(with χ2 or t of 11.345,16.223,11.275,43.211,12.592,17.771,P<0.05).The white blood cell count,platelet count,immunoglobulin A(IgA) level and urinary albumin level also showed significant differences between the two groups(t=33.750,60.442,9.451,8.458,P<0.05).The multivariate regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for early renal damage in children with HSP included age(OR=2.703),recurrent purpura(OR=2.721),persistent skin rash(OR=1.782),gastrointestinal bleeding(OR=11.472),abdominal pain(OR=2.046),IgA level(OR=1.221) and urine microalbumin(OR=3.214).Conclusion Age,recurrent purpura,persistent skin rash,gastrointestinal bleeding,abdominal pain,IgA level and urine microalbumin are closely related to early renal damage in children with HSP.

Objective:To study the influence of r-tPA and urokinase in curative effect and thrombolysis time on patients with acute and severe pulmonary embolism after interventional thrombectomy .Methods:After reviewing and analyzing the clinical data of 19 acute and severe pulmonary embolism patients , we classified them into two groups in accordance with the application of r-tPA and urokinase to compare the changes of their heart rate , blood pressure , pulmonary arterial pressure , arterial partial pressure of oxygen and hemachrome before and after thrombolysis , as well as the thrombolysis effect time the two groups took.Results: The heart rate, blood pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure , arterial partial pressure of oxygen of the patients in both groups gained remarkable improvement after operation ( P<0 .05 );the pulmonary arterial pressure of the r-tPA patient group dropped but not significantly compared with that before operation ( P>0.05); the pulmonary arterial pressure of the urokinase patient group dropped significantly compared with that study before operation ( P<0.05 ); the hemachrome of both patient groups did not significantly drop after operation ( P>0 .05 );the thrombolysis effect time by adop-ting r-tPA was remarkably shorter than that caused in thrombolysis by adopting urokinase ( P<0 .05 ) . Conclusion: Both r-tPA and urokinase are effective in interventional thrombolysis for acute and severe pulmonary embolism .However , r-tPA could significantly shorten the time caused in thrombolysis without increasing any bleeding risk.

Objective To observe the effect of herbal medicines with the function of replenish qi and essence for the immune func- tion of patients after mammary cancer operation.Methods The 115 patients of mammary cancer after modified radical operation were randomized into treatment group and control group.The treatment group began to take the decoction of herbal medicines from 7 days before and from the 3rd day after operation.The control group had the same treatment but without taking herbal medicines.The im- mune indices of both groups were tested on the day 7 days before,one day and 14 days after operation respectively.Results In the treatment group,IgA,IgG,IgM were remarkably increased in comparison with the control group 14 days after operation;with the herbal treatment for 2 weeks,CD_4,CD_4/CD_8,IL-2 rised remarkably(P

Objective To investigate the mechanism of cigarette smoke promotes non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) NCI-H520 cell line proliferation mediated by macrophages with method of blocking NFκB-p65 pathway by RNAi.Methods To co-culture NCI-H520 cells with primary macrophages or U937 cell line,the Transwell Inserts system was used in cell co-culture model.NFκB activation was confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and Western blot analysis.U937 cells were transfected with NFκB-p65 shRNA plasmid to abrogate the NFκB activation,by BrdU ELISA,the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) promoted NCI-H520 cells proliferation were assessed,inflammatory factors TNF and IL-6 expressions were analysed by ELISA.Results Exposure of CSE enhanced NFκB-p65 nuclcus translocation and activated the NFκB pathway.CSE did not promote NCI-H520 cells proliferation alone (P ＞ 0.05),but after 4 days coincubation with macrophages,the proliferation of NCI-H520 cells was significantly increased (P ＜0.01),addition of CSE to the co-culture much more enhanced this effect (P ＜ 0.01).After NFκB-p65 was blocked by RNAi,it significantly reduced NFκB-p65 protein expression and inhibited NFκB activation in U937 p65-cells,and markedly inhibited U937 cells induced proliferation of NCI-H520 cells and IL-6,TNF secretion (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Cigarette smoke promotes NCI-H520 cells proliferation mediated by macrophages.Blockade of NFκB pathway with RNAi in macrophages can reduced cigarette smoke induced inflammatory factors secretion in macrophages,and significantly inhibit cigarette smoke promoted tumor proliferation.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of cognitive development of newborn's cerebral hemispheres with event related potential (ERP). Methods Forty-five healthy full-term newborns and 11 infants of 29-60 days in the Department of Newborns, Changzhou Children's Hospital between December 2013 and October 2015 were randomly included in this study. They fulfilled all inclusion/exclusion criteria. An auditory oddball paradigm was used with frequently occurring standand tones at 1 000 Hz with 90% probability and infrequent deviant tones at 2 000 Hz with 10% probability. Waveforms were recorded at Fz, Cz, F3, F4, C3 and C4 scalp locations. And a comparative study of area and latency of N2 was done at F3, F4, C3 and C4 scalp locations in the two hemispheres. Results N2 wave of 1-28 days neonatal at C3, C4 scalp locations: area (ms·μV) was 5 193.68±2 137.45 vs 4 324.51±1 334.73, with statistically significant difference (t=2.288, P=0.025);latency (ms) was 764.27±216.60 vs 878.29±294.06, also with statistically significant difference (t=2.185, P=0.031). N2 wave of 1-28 days neonatal at F3,F4 scalp locations: area (ms·μV) was 5 739.44±2 271.03 vs 5 614.87±2 280.83, without statistically significant difference;latency (ms) was 876.20±316.02 vs 860.45±289.04, also without statistically significant difference. N2 wave of 29-60 days infants at F3, F4 scalp locations: area (ms·μV) was 7 681.35±1 723.49 vs 5 993.55±735.63, with statistically significant difference (t=2.848, P=0.011);latency (ms) was 571.60±1.2248 vs 733.40±232.73, without statistically significant difference though F3 was shorter than F4. Conclusions The newborn's auditory perception cognition in the left side of central lobe is superior to the right side. With the growth of the newborn, the left side of the frontal lobe is also superior to that of the right side. Dominant hemisphere has appeared in the neonatal period. Proper stimulation can promote the newborn's cognitive development.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of cognitive development in different aged neonates.Methods Sixty-two newborns were randomly selected from relatively normal full-term babies in Changzhou Children's Hospital from December 2013 to September 2015.Electroencephalogram (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERP) were recorded with the auditory Oddball paradigm.Cognitive EEG delta power and the N2 wave area of different ages (1-10,11-20 and 21-28 days) were compared.Paired t test,analysis of variance and the LSD test were used for statistical analysis.Results (1) Delta power in the resting and cognition state:neonatal cognitive delta power in the 11-20 and 21-28 days old groups was (268.22± 132.09) and (236.01±97.40) μ V2,respectively,significantly higher than the resting delta power of the same groups [(175.80 ± 80.80) and (178.78 ± 104.74) μ V2,t=2.539 and 2.845,P=0.020 and 0.010,respectively].(2) Cognitive delta power in different aged neonates:cognitive delta power in the 11-20 and 21-28 days old groups was (268.22± 132.09) and (236.01 ±97.40) μ V2,respectively,higher than that of the 1-10 days old group [(116.70± 56.70) μV2],with statistically significant difference (LSD test,both P＜0.05).(3) Neonatal ERP:ERP of the 1-10 days old group presented with multiple peaks of a flat composite wave,in the 11-20 and 21-28 days old groups,the N2 wave showed a regular and rising trend,gradually to a single wave,and became gradually mature.The N2 wave area in the 11-20 and 21-28 days old groups was (6 435.08±2 212.34) and (6 536.75± 1 969.86) ms · μ V,respectively,which was larger than that in the 1-10 days old group [(4 230.04± 1 550.55) ms · μ V] (LSD test,both P＜0.05).Conclusions Neonatal cognitive development is enhanced with age and there may be a period of more rapid cognitive development,especially at 11-20 days of age.

Newborn brain damage is the main cause of new-borns' death and disabilities.Current research difficulties lie in analyzing characteristics of cerebral injuries,making objective prognosis and early intervention,as well as analysis of therapeutic effects after recovery.Since subjects are not requested to complete complex tasks while doing resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) tests,rs-fMRI is reckoned to be suitable for neonatal brain function research.So far,most rs-fMRI reports regarding cerebral injury are for adults,with only a few have been done on neonates.Foreign research are mainly focused on new borns' brain development.If relevant rs-fMRI research can be done on newborn brain damage,it would be helpful to accurately evaluate structure and function of patients' brain tissue damage.Further research can provide more valuable information in clinics.
