Therapeutic hypothermia is believed to improve neurodevelopment outcome of infants with moderate-to-severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE),however,the severe brain injury and neurologic sequelae still can be observed in some infants received therapeutic hypothermia.Optimal monitor and management of systematic complications presented by infants during cooling treatment are necessary for improvement of overall outcome.Therefore,it is essential to understand the functional change of each system of the whole body,to adapt adequate diagnostic methods and to train multidisciplinary staffs to monitor and manage moderate-to-severe HIE infants during therapeutic cooling.With the development of therapeutic hypothermia,it is currently considered as a standard of care for infants with moderate-to-severe HIE.It is recommended that any neonatal intensive care unit(NICU) using routinely therapeutic hypothermia to reference the national or international benchmarking protocols in order to improve the medical quality and prognosis of infants.

BACKGROUND:To optimize the oral implant design in the abutment angle has an important effect on bone resorption, and meanwhile, the high bite force from patients is also crucial to rebuild bone absorption.
OBJECTIVE:To optimize the model design of the maxilary anterior teeth using Ansys Workbench 13.0 software and to investigate the stress size on the cortical and cancelous bone from different angled abutments and different loads of the central incisor.
METHODS:A three-dimensional finite element model of the V-shaped cylindrical threaded implants in the maxilary bone. Abutment angle was set as 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, and the load stress was set as 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210 N. Occlusion of the central incisor was simulated on the implants, and then, buccolingual mechanical loads were loaded on the center of prostheses to observe the effects of different abutment angles and loads on the Von Mises peak stress of the maxila and mandible.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the influence of a single factor, when the abutment angles acted as variables, the Von Mises peak stress of the cortical and cancelous bone was respectively increased by 60.60% and 69.30% under labial or palatal loads; when the loading stress acted as variables, the Von Mises peak stress of the cortical and cancelous bone was increased by 68.74% and 69.30% under buccolingual loads. When the loading stress was less than 150 N and the abutment angle was less than 25°, the slop of tangent for the mandible Von Mises stress response curve was-1 to 0. It seems from the mechanical analysis that the stress of cancelous bone is more susceptible to abutment angle and load stress; the optimal abutment of screwed implant should be designed to an angle less than 25° and an bite force less than 150 N.

Proteolytic cleavage is one of the post-translational modifications and plays important roles in many biological processes, such as apoptosis and tumor cell metastasis. The identification of the cleavage events can improve our understanding of their biological functions in these processes. Although proteomic approaches using N-terminal labeling have resulted in the discovery of many proteolytic cleavages, this strategy has its own inherent drawbacks. Labeling of protein C-termini is an alternative approach. Here, we optimized the labeling procedure in the profiling protein C-termini by enzymatic labeling (ProC-TEL) and improved the labeling efficiency for the positive isolation of protein C-terminal peptides and mass spectrometric identification. We applied this approach to a complex protein mixture from Escherichia coli and identified many C-terminal peptides and internal cleaved peptides from more than 120 proteins. From the identified cleavages, we found several previously known internal proteolytic cleavage sites and many novel ones which may play roles in regulating normal biological processes. This work provides a potential new way, complementary to the N-terminomics, for the identification of proteolytic cleavages in complex biological systems.

Objective To investigate the role and possible mechanism of caveolin-1 (CAV1) in the forming of cholesterol gallstone in mice fed with lithogenic diet.Methods Cholesterol gallstone susceptible C57BL/6 mice were study objects.The mice of control group (n=6) and experiment group (n=6) were fed with normal diet and lithogenic diet for four weeks respectively.The condition of cholesterol gallstone forming,changes of serum lipid and bile composition were measured,and the expressions of CAV1 and scavenger receptor classB member Ⅰ (SR-BⅠ) at mRNA and protein level in the liver and gallbladder were detected by realtime-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot,respectively.The t test was performed for mean comparsion between the two groups.Results The incidence rate of gallstone in experimental group was 100％ after fed with lithogenic diet for four weeks,the lipid level significantly increased,and the proportion of cholesterol in bile raised and bile salt decreased.Compared with those of control group,the expressions of CAV1 at mRNA and protein level in the liver and gallbladder tissues siginificantly decreased (in liver tissue,mRNA 0.53 ± 0.13 vs 1.00 ± 0.32,t =3.330,protein level 0.39 ± 0.07vs 0.92±0.06,t=10.280; in gallbladder tissue,mRNA 0.40±0.22 vs 1.00±0.22,t=3.823,protein level 1.04±0.07 vs 1.34 ± 0.04,t =6.367,all P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the relative expression of SR-BⅠ at mRNA and protein level in the liver and gallbladder tissues between the mice of experiment group and control group.Conclusion The changes of CAV 1 expression at mRNA and protein level in liver and gallbladder tissues may affect lipids metabolism and cholesterol transportation in liver and gallbladder tissues of experiment mice,which might play an important role in the formation of cholesterol gallstone.

Objective To analyze the clinical manifestations, computed tomography scan (CT), gastroscope, endo-scopic ultrasonography (EUS), and therapy method of gastritis cystica profunda. Methods Retrospectively analyzed clinical manifestations, CT, gastroscope, EUS, and pathological results of 6 cases of gastritis cystica profunda. Results In these 6 cases, 3 of them were doubted gastric carcinoma, 3 cases were considered stomach mass by CT. Gastroscope hinted apophysis lesions, but all cases were suggested gastritis cystica profunda by EUS. And all cases were removed through endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Pathology were confirmed the diagnosis. Conclusion EUS combined with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or ESD technique can improve the diagnostic rate. For gas-tritis cystica profunda which are not associated with malignant tumor can be treated through ESD.

Aim To explore the effects of acupuncture and sinomenine on the withdrawal symptoms,on the spontaneous discharge and synaptophysin expression of amygdala of heroin-addicted rats.Methods 75 SD rats were randomly and equally divided into 5 groups consisted of control,heroin-addicted,acupuncture,sinomenine and combined treatment group.The model of heroin-addicted rats were established with heroin subcutaneous injection,which in acupuncture,sinomenine and combined group were subsequently punctured at 3 acupoint(Neiguan,Baihui and Zusanli),intramuscular injected with sinomenine and treated with combined methods(acupuncture and sinomenine)respectively.The withdrawal symptoms of rats in different group were evaluated,and then the spontaneous discharges and synaptophysin expression of amygdala were detected with electrophysiological and immunohistochemical technology respectively.Results The heroin-addicted rats were successfully established,being suggested by typical withdrawal symptoms induced by naloxone(P<0.01 vs control),which were alleviated in the 3 treatment groups(acupuncture,sinomenine and combined ) with varying degree(P<0.01 vs heroin group).The electrophysiological results suggest that the forms of low-frequency and single irregular discharges in amygdala were increase,bunchy/cluster and complex discharges were decreased(P<0.05 vs control),which were reversed apparently in sinomenine and combined treatment groups(P<0.05 vs heroin group),closed to control.The immunohistochemical results show that expression of synaptophysin in amygdala was increased obviously(P<0.01 vs control),which was decreased in the 3 treatment groups(acupuncture,sinomenine and combined),P<0.01 vs addicted group.Conclusion Treatments of acupuncture and sinomenine administration can alleviate withdrawal symptoms of heroin-addicted,and rectify the abnormal spontaneous discharges and expression of synaptophysin in amygdala of heroin-addicted rats for certain degree,especially with combined treatments.

Objective:To elucidate action mechanism of δ-tocotrienol in inducing apoptosis of human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Methods:Cell proliferation and viability were assessed by MTT assay; cell cycle distribution, apoptotic rate and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured by using high content screening system; the expression of apoptosis-related protein such as caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, Bcl-2, Bax, tBid and cytochrome C in the HepG2 cells were evaluated by Western blotting. Results:δ-Toco-trienol inhibited HepG2 cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. This growth-inhibiting effect of δ-toco-trienol correlated with loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and release of cytochrome C from mitochondria to cytoplasm, and regulation of the protein expression of Bcl-2 family members, such as up-regulation of Bax and tBid and down-regulation of Bcl-2. Subsequently tocotrienol induced the activation of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 which finally induced apoptosis of hepatoma HepG2 cells. Conclusion:δ-Tocotrienol induced apoptosis of human hepatoma HepG2 cells via mitochondrial pathway and membrane death receptor pathway.
