Objective To study the relationship between the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in rat brain and pathogenesis of epilepsy.Methods The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in hippocampus was observed by immunochemistry in normal and epilepsy rat.Meanwile,the effects of dexamethasone before epilepsy on the expression of MMP-9 in hippocampus was evaluated.Results The expression of MMP-9 in hippocampus were fewer in normal rat brain.The expression of MMP-9 had increased in hippocampus after epilepsy 24h.It had increased obviously in dentate gyrus(DG)after epilepsy 72h than 24h(P0.05).Dexamethasone suppressed the expression of MMP-9 in hippocampus.Conclusion The expression of MMP-9 in rat brain participates in immunopathogenesis of epilepsy by affecting brain immunoreaction,leading to the change of neuronal response and synapse remodeling in hippocampus,regulating brain nervous cell excitability.Dexamethasone plays a prominent suppressant role in the processes.

Salmonella Derby is recognized as a major human food-borne pathogen causing food poisoning,septicaemia and other symptoms.Meanwhile,it can represent a severe threat to livestock breeding and health.The objective of this review is to summarize novel research progress on epidemic,genomics,pathogenic mechanism of Salmonella Derby for provide reference to related research.

Objective To study risk factors with the occurrence of the mesh exposure after pelvic floor reconstruction.Methods From Mar.2007 to Mar.2011,a retrospective study was made on the clinical data of 353 patients undergoing vaginal mesh pelvic floor reconstruction.The related complications of the mesh were surveyed,and risk factors associated with the mesh's exposure were studied by single factor and multiple factors logistic regression.Results It was found that the exposure rate was 9.6％ (34/353) after 1 year postoperative follow-up.Single factor analysis showed that patients who were not less than 70 years old,patients who were on their menopause stage,the occurrence of not less than three parturition,history of pelvic surgery,diabetes and smoking had a significant correlation (all P ＜ 0.05) with the occurrence of the mesh exposure after pelvic floor reconstruction.Multiple factors logistic regression analysis showed that patients who were not less than 70 years of age (OR =2.389),the occurrence of not less than three parturition (OR =2.688),the history of diabetes (OR =3.545),the history of pelvic surgery (OR =5.385) were the independent risk factors,and the operation experience was the protection factors (OR =0.134).Conclusions Mesh exposure is a common complication after pelvic floor reconstruction.Old age,multiple delivery,history of diabetes and history of pelvic surgery are the risk factors of mesh exposure.Preoperative full assessment and the quality of training contribute to reduce the incidence.

Objective To discuss the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of solidpseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP) in children. Methods Clinical data of 12 cases of SPTP admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital from Mar 2001 to Mar 2007 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Result There were 7 females and 5 males among the patients. The mean age was 13.6 years. The main symptoms were abdominal pain and mass. Tumors located in the head in 4 cases, in the body and tail of the pancreas in 8 cases. Five cases underwent tumor enucleations, one case underwent body resection of the pancreas, two cases underwent Whippple's procedure including one recurrent case, five cases underwent body and tail resection of the pancreas plus splenectomy. All these 12 cases were followed up for 6 months to 6 years. One case lost follow-up 6 months after body and tail resection of the pancreas plus spleneetomy. Another one suffered from live tumor one year after operation and refused surgical exploration and lost follow-up. The other 10 cases were still alive. Conclusion SPTP are predominantly seen in adolescent females. For its benign clinical behavior and relatively good prognosis, surgical resection is the main choice of therapy.

Objective To explore the effects of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on the virological and pathological changes of newborn mouse liver congenitally infected with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV).Methods Sixty healthy pure line clean level BALB/c mice which were about 10 weeks old (half were female) were divided into five groups (six pairs in each group).The mice in LMWH intervention group and positive control group were intraperitoneally inoculated with 6.0 lg tissue culture infective dose50 (TCID50) of HCMV AD169; those in blank control group were intraperitoneally injected with 0.5 mL dulbecco's modified Eagles medium (DMEM) ; then all the mice were paired to mate.The pregnant mice in LMWH intervention group Ⅰ were subcutaneously injected with LMWH 1000 U/kg daily for 10 days; those in group Ⅱ were subcutaneously injected with LMWH 1000 U/kg daily for 5 days and their newborn mice were subcutaneously injected with LMWH 1000 U/kg daily for 5 days; those in group Ⅲ were subcutaneously injected with LMWH 1000 U/kg daily for 10 days in their newborn mice.All these newborn mice were sacrificed at day 10 of birth.The liver was removed for virus isolation,dry-wet weight determination,pathology examination and quantitative fluorescence-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection.The comparison among groups was done by analysis of variance.Results HCMV was isolated from the supernatant of liver tissue homogenate in 10-day positive control newborn mice,while HCMV was isolated in 24-day newborn mice of the other three groups of LMWH intervention.Pathology confirmed that positive control liver tissue had inflammatory changed,liver cell inflammatory swelling degeneration,vacuoles degeneration,specific HCMV inclusion body in nuclear,and portion of liver cell necrosis,while liver pathological results of LMWH intervention group showed mild liver cell inflammatory changes and slight cell inflammatory swelling degeneration,which were similar to the blank control group.The moisture of liver tissue contents in LMWH intervention group decreased more obviously than positive control group.The HCMV DNA loads in 50 mg liver tissues of LMWH intervention groups Ⅰ,Ⅱand Ⅲ were (3.26±0.43),(3.26±0.41) and (3.32±0.51) lg copy,respectively,which were significantly lower than that of positive control group [(7.38 ± 0.53) lg copy; F =314.620,P0.01],while there were no significant differences among LMWH intervention groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion LMWH intrauterine and postnatal interventions can significantly reduce HCMV DNA replication in hepatocytes,and relieve inflammatory changes in liver tissue.

Objective To investigate the neural mechanism of inhibitory control in sensation seeking by using the event-related potential(ERP) technique. Methods High and low sensation seekers( 16 people in each group ), who were selected according to their sensation seeking scores, performed a Go/Nogo task in which the stimuli possessed two levels of difficulty. Electro- encephalogram(EEG) signals were recorded continuously by a set of 32 Ag/AgCI electrodes. Results For two types of stimuli ( Congruent, Incongruent) :( 1 )The amplitude(FCZ) of Nogo N2 and Nogo P3 were( (1.61 ±4.25)μV,(-2.32±4.55)μV)and((16.44±5.74)μV,(17.00±5.71)μV). (2)There was no significant main effects of group for the Nogo N2 amplitude( F (1.30) =0.31, P=0. 59,η2=0. 01;F(1.30) =0.07,P=0.80,η2=0.002) ,the N2d amplitude( F(1.30) =1.18,P=0.29,η2=0.04;F(1.30) =0.004, P=0.95, η2 ＜ 0.001 ) ,the Nogo P3 amplitude( F (1.30) =0.13, P=0.72, η2 =0.004;F(1.30)=0.28, P=0.60, η2 =0.009) and the P3d amplitude( F(1.30) =0.08, P=0.50, η2 =0.02; F (1.30) =0.56,P=0.46, η2 =0.02). (3)Neither of main effects for the N2 and P3 latency was significant (P＞0.05). Conclusion The inhibitory control is similar across high and low sensation seeking groups,indicating that there is no relationship between the sensation seeking behaviors and the individual inhibitory control.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the characters of urinary noscomial infection in intensive care unit(ICU)of our hospital in order to reduce its incidence. METHODS The 661 patients in ICU of our hospital from Jan 2005 to Jun 2006 were analyzed,and in which 63 nosocomial urinary infection patients(9.53%) were found.We analyzed the 63 patients retrospectively. RESULTS Nosocomial urinary infection occurred in 9.53% patients admitted to the ICU.Nosocomial urinary infection in ICU was correlated with ages,using of antibiotics and hormones,duration of catheterization and APACHEⅡ score,but not with gender.The most prevalent pathogens of nosocomial urinary infection in ICU were fungi(40.66%),gram-negative bacteria(31.87%) and Gram-positive bacteria(27.46%).The clinical manifestation of nosocomial urinary infection in ICU was atypical. CONCLUSIONS Nosocomial urinary infection in ICU has its own characters which clinicians should pay more attention to.To reduce its incidence,we should avoid abusing of antibiotics and hormones,and make the duration of catheterization as short as possible.

Fetal omphalocele is a surgical disease with severe defect of fetal abdominal wall which requires emergency treatment after birth. The incidence rate is 2.1/10000, and the mortality rate is 52% to 67%. The improper handling of omphalocele can cause capsular rupture and intestinal exposure, leading to neonatal fluid loss, hypothermia, intestinal necrosis and other complications. It is the major cause of death in newborns. In this paper, we reviewed the characteristics, delivery mode, delivery time, umbilical cord care, and transferring of omphalocele newborns to provide reference for clinical nursing.
