Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma D-lactate levels and prognosis in newborns with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).Methods One hundred and four premature infants with NEC (stase Ⅱ and Ⅲ ) and another 104 premature infants without NEC admitted into Quanzhou Children's Hospital for other diseases from January 2007 to October 2010 were selected into this case control study.The gestational age,gender and birth weight of patients in the two groups were matched.NEC patients' bloods were collected within 24 hours after NEC was confirmed and blood samples of the control group were collected at the corresponding age.Enzymelinked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the plasma D-lactate level.Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to confirm the criteria of D-lactate positive,according to which,the NEC group was divided into high D-lactate group and normal D-lactate group,and the mortality and complication rate of the two groups were compared with x2 test.And NEC group was subdivided into death group and survive group according to the prognosis of the patients,and the difference of D-lactate level between the two groups were compared with t test.Results Among the NEC group,there were 63 cases (60.6%) of stage Ⅱ and 41 (39.4%) cases of stage Ⅲ ; 88 (84.6%) survived infants and 16 (15.4%) dead infants.D-lactate level was (35.4 ± 29.1) μg /ml in stage Ⅲ NEC group,(29.5±16.2) μg/ml in stage Ⅱ NEC group and (3.7±18.4) μg/ml in control group; there were statistical differences between each other(F=5.97,P<0.05).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that if 6 μg/ml was set as the borderline,there were 87 cases(83.7%,87/104) with high D-lactate patients in NEC group,whose neonatal critical illness scoring (NCIS) was 80.9±22.6,significantly lower than that of normal D-lactate patients ( 95.8 ± 20.5) (t =2.417,P< 0.05),and higher neonatal septicemia rate (48.3%,42/87) and mortality (27.6%,24/87) compared with those [(5.9%,1/17) and (5.9%,1/17)] of normal D-lactate patients(x2 =11.539 and 7.146,P<0.05,respectively).In NEC group,compared with the survived infants,the D-lactate level [(43.2±13.5) μg/ml vs (21.9 ± 22.9) μg/ml,t =4.572,P<0.05] and the rate of septicemia [68.8% (11/16) vs 38.6% (34/88),x2 =3.445,P<0.05] were higher in dead patients,and NCIS (82.4± 29.1 vs 90.6 ± 21.3,t =2.409,P<0.05) was lower.Conctusions The level of plasma D-lactate related to the prognosis of neonatal NEC and which might be a good indicator for its prognosis and severity.

Objective To observe the effect of catgut implantation at acupoint on treating cerebrovascular epilepsy and discuss the therapeutic mechanism. Methods 58 patients were divided into an observation group and a control group. The control group was treated with sodium valproate, and the observation group was treated with catgut implantation at acupoint on the basis of the control group.Epilepsy scoring, sodium valproate adverse reactions, the change of blood concentrations of sodium valproate and curative effect evaluation and so on were observed before and after the treatment. Results The basic control and excellent rate in the observation group were 16.7%and 73.3%, better than the control group of 10.7%and 53.6% respectively. The epilepsy scoring and sodium valproate adverse reactions after treatment in the observation group were superior to the control group [observation group is(5.05±1.5),(5.09±1.53),control group is(6.40±1.74),(10.85±1.91),P<0.05]. The number of patients with blood concentrations of sodium valproate in range 50-100 mg/L after treatment was increased in the observation group(Z=2.07, P=0.038). Conclusion Catgut implantation at acupoint combined sodium valproate was more effective than sodium valproate in treating cerebrovascular epilepsy, which can obviously alleviate the adverse reaction of drugs and increase blood concentrations of sodium valproate.

Objective To observe the major adverse reaction of irinotecan in combination with fluorouracil for advanced colorectal cancer,and sum up the nursing experience of acetylcholine syndrome and acute delayed diarrhea.Methods Pathologically confirmed 45 cases of patients with advanced colorectal cancer were treated with modified FOLFIRI regimen for total of 190 cycles.Results Acetylcholine syndrome rate was 28.9%,the incidence of acute delayed diarrhea was 40.0% ,more than 3 grade diarrhea was 6.7%.Conclusion The incidence of acute delayed diarrhea in Chinese patients is lower than in caucasians,and reasonable care measures can reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions,irinotecan in combination with fluorouracil is a safe and effective regimen for Chinese patients.

Objective To study the characters of oscillatory potentials (OPs) of electroretinogram (ERG) after methanol intoxication in rats. Method The SD rat models of methanol intoxication were established and divided into control group, 3-day intoxication group, 7-day intoxication group. The changes of OPs of ERG were recorded in a dark room. Results The total amplitudes of 3-day and 7-day intoxication groups decreased approximately 50% compared with that of the control group, while the schedule de-layed approximately 16% and 61%, respectively. Conclusion The characters of methanol intoxication in rats included delay in schedule and decline in the total amplitude of OPs.

Objective To construct secretary recombinant adenoviral vector carrying the mouse prostate-specific mem-brane antigen gene through AdEasy vector system and the immunological outcome was assessed. Methods mPSMA was amplified from plasmid pCR-BluntⅡ-TOPO by PCR and subcloned into transfer vector pAdeno Vator CMV5, The signal peptide DNA sequence of hIL-2 was fused to 5'terminal of mPSMA gene to construct a secretary Ad-mPSMA. pAdv-mPSMA was co-transformed with pAdeno Vator △E1/E3 through homologous recombination. The recombinant adenoviruses were packaged, amplified and purified in HEK293 cells. HeLa cell was infected by recombinant ade-novirus Ad-mPSMA and the expression of mouse prostate-specific membrane antigen gene was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. The recombinant adenovirus had been immuned mice, sera antibody against mPSMA from immu-nized mice was detected by ELISA. Results The secretary pAd-mPSMA was constructed successfully and typical cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed. The titer of the recombinant adenovirus was 1.32 × 10~(11)IU/mL and expres-sion of mPSMA was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot. The specific antibody against mPSMA had been found in serum of the immunized mice. Conclusion mPSMA gene recombinant adenovirus was constructed successfully, which provide a basis for further study on the anti-tumor immunotherapy role of PSMA.
