1.Clinical presentation and diagnosis criterion of pediatric hypertension
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(13):968-971
There is a trackphenomenon in the development of hypertension and pediatric hypertension has an important predictive value for adult hypertension. However pediatric hypertension is not typical and normal blood pressure is associated with age,sex and height. The blood pressure level,clinical presentation and complication rates of secondary pediatric hypertension are higher than primary pediatric hypertension. So secondary pediatric hypertension could get timely treatment compared to primary pediatric hypertension. This paper focus on the clinical presentation and diagnosis criterion of pediatric hypertension and provide a reference for the pediatrician.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM: To investigate the regulatory mechanism of histone acetylation on cardiac hypertrophy in -duced by phenylephrine , and to provide a new idea for preventing and curing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy .METHODS:Phenylephrine was given by continuous subcutaneous injection for modeling cardiac hypertrophy in C 57BL/6 mice.The le-vel of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) in the promoter of cardiac nuclear transcription factor GATA4 and the mRNA expression of GATA4 were identified by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and real-time PCR, respectively. Meanwhile, the protein expression of histone H3K27ac, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and α-myosin heavy chain (α-MHC) was determined by Western blot .Cardiac hypertrophy in the mice was observed by HE staining and echocardio-graphy.RESULTS:The results of Western blot showed that the level of histone H 3K27ac in phenylephrine group was sig-nificantly increased compared with normal saline group (P<0.05), and ChIP-qPCR data showed that the level of histone H3K27ac in the promoter of GATA4 was increased significantly in the same samples (P<0.05).The expression levels of GATA4 mRNA and ANP protein in phenylephrine group were apparently increased compared with normal saline group ( P<0.05).However, histone acetylase inhibitor anacardic acid attenuated histone H 3K27 hyperacetylation induced by pheny-lephrine, and downregulated the over-expression of GATA4 and ANP in the heart of the mice (P<0.05).HE staining and echocardiography data showed that phenylephrine apparently increased left ventricular posterior wall thickness and de -creased left ventricular end-systolic diameter and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter , while anacardic acid also reversed these indexes that mentioned above and attenuated cardiac hypertrophy induced by phenylephrine in the mice .CONCLU-SION:Histone acetylation modification imbalance is involved in cardiac hypertrophy induced by phenylephrine , and the histone acetylase inhibitor anacardic acid decreases histone hyperacetylation induced by phenylephrine and attenuates car -diac hypertrophy in the mice .

BACKGROUND: Hip arthroplasty and internal fixation with intramedullary cannulated screws are mainly used for senile femoral neck fractures. However, osteoporosis can usually lead to failure in internal fixation.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the joint function after fixed with intramedullary cannulated screws in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, and to explore the factors related to functional recovery.METHODS: Clinical data of 89 patients with femoral neck fractures undergoing internal fixation with intramedullary cannulated screws after 2-year follow-up were analyzed retrospectively. The sex, age, Garden type, bone mineral density, body mass index, screw distribution, reduction index, operation time, bearing time and Harris hip scores were analyzed. Rank related analysis and accumulative Logistic regression analysis were performed on SPSS18.0 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Normal Q-Q plot and normality test results indicated that the Horris scores in all patients after 2-year follow-up presented with skewed distribution (P=0.000). (2) Rank related analysis showed that age,Garden type, bone mineral density, and reduction index were related with Harris score (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). (3) Accumulative Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent variables including age, Garden type, bone mineral density, and reduction index made significant effect on Harris hip scores. (4) To conclude, age, Garden type,bone mineral density, and reduction index are important factors for functional recovery of the hip after fixed with intramedullary cannulated screws.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of early diagnosis by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy in the treatment of biliary ischemia after liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 9 recipients presenting with biliary ischemia detected by CEUS within 4 weeks after liver transplantation and diagnosed with non-anastomotic biliary stricture (NAS) within postoperative 1 year were retrospectively analyzed. In the conventional treatment group, 4 recipients were treated with conventional treatment including liver protection, cholagogic therapy and interventional therapy. In MSC treatment group, 5 recipients received intravenous infusion of MSC at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after biliary ischemia detected by CEUS on the basis of conventional therapy. The interventional treatment and clinical prognosis within 1 year after liver transplantation were analyzed between two groups. Results Two recipients in the MSC treatment group required interventional therapy, which was initially given at 7-9 months after liver transplantation for 1-2 times. All recipients in the conventional treatment group required interventional therapy, which was initially delivered at postoperative 1-3 months for 2-6 times, earlier than that in the MSC treatment group. Within 1 year following liver transplantation, diffuse bile duct injury occurred in 2 recipients in MSC treatment group, and no graft dysfunction was observed. In the conventional treatment group, all recipients developed diffuse bile duct injury, and 2 recipients presented with graft dysfunction. Conclusions Early diagnosis of biliary ischemia after liver transplantation by CEUS combined with MSC therapy may delay and reduce the requirement of interventional therapy for NAS, and also improve clinical prognosis of the recipients.
