Objective To investigate the impact of umbilical cord around the neck(UCAN) on infants developmental quotient. Methods Intelligence of 60 infants of UCAN under 3 years old were tested by Gesell. Results DQ of UCAN infants was significantly less than normal infants,mainly mild to moderate retardation. DQ between the male and female infants had no significant difference, parents' cognitive level had significant difference with real DQ of infants. Conclusions UCAN has certain influence on mental development of infants,we should strengthen health education,pay close attention to UCAN infants,give regular intelligence surveillance, find early growth retardation,give rehabilitation training to reduce the incidence of intellectual disabilities.

Objective To evaluation the value of fusion images of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE MRI) with transrectal ultrasound(TRUS) and conventional TRUS in prostate biopsy for prostate cancer.Methods The clinical data of 127 patients suspected as early-stage prostate cancer were retrospectively analyzed.79 patients underwent prostate biopsy guided by conventional TRUS(group A).48 patients underwent prostate biopsy guided by fusion images of DCE MRI with TRUS(group B).Then the diagnostic rates,puncture times and complications in the two groups were compared.Results The cases with confirmed prostate cancer were 31 in group A and 22 in group B.The first time diagnostic rates of biopsy were 20.2％(16/79) in group A,and 39.3％ (19/48) in group B respectively(P ＜0.05).The first time sensivity,specifity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of biopsy were 51.6 ％,100 ％,100％,77.4％ in group A and 86.3％,100％,100％,89.6％ in group B.Puncture times was 15.40 ± 4.67 and 13.01 ± 3.87 respectively.The Gleason score was 6.21 ± 0.91 and 6.35 ± 0.81 respectively.The complication rates were 19.0％(15/79) in group A and 12.5％(6/48)in group B.Conclusions For patients with earlystage prostate cancer,the combination of DCE-MRI and TRUS to guide transrectal prostate biopsy was recommended.It showed an increase in the first time diagnostic rate of biopsy while a reduction in the times and complications of prostated biopsy.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of pulmonary embolectomy by cathether for the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism. Methods 38 cases were diagnosed pulmonary embolism by pulmonary angiography, treated by thrombus fragmentation and suction by cathethers, and local fibrinolysis. The symptoms, PaO 2, PAPM and pulmonary arteries were observed after the procedure. Results 36 patients survived and showed clinical improvement with significant decrease in PaPm and increase in PaO 2( P

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)exist in and can be isolated from the bone marrow of adult human being and animals and can be induced to differentiate into different cells.They are easy to be isolated,cultivated,and amplified.They are also less immunogenic in the body and can avoid ethical dispute when applied in transplantation.Studies have shown that BMSCs can be induced to differentiate into neural cells under certain conditions in vitro.This article reviewed the recent development in the research on the induction protocols for neural differentiation of BMSCs and the possible mechanisms.

The effects of E-cadherin-transfected neural stem cells (NSCs) transplantation for spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats were investigated. Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into model control group, NSCs group, empty plasmid group and E-cadherin overexpression group (n=15 each). The animal SCI model was established by using the modified Allen's method. NSCs were cultured. Rats in NSCs group were subjected to NSCs transplantation. E-cadherin gene eucaryotic expression vector and pcDNA3.1-E-cadherin were respectively transfected into cultured NSCs, serving as empty plasmid group and E-cadherin overexpression group respectively. At 7th day after transplantation, neurological function of all rats was assessed by Tarlov score. After rats were sacrificed in each group, the number of BrdU and Nestin positive cells was counted by immunohistochemistry. Immumofluorescence method was used to detect the expression of neurofilament protein (NF) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). As compared with model control group, the Tarlov score and the number of of BrdU and Nestin positive cells, and the expression of NF and GFAP in NSCs group, empty plasmid group, and E-cadherin overexpression group were increased significantly (P<0.05), and those in the E-cadherin overexpression group were increased more significantly than the other transplantation groups (P<0.05). It was suggested that E-cadherin could be conductive to nerve regeneration and repair probably by promoting the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs.

Objective To investigate the correlation between p21-actived kinase 1(PAK1) gene polymorphism and prognosis of endocrine therapy for breast cancer. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was employed to analyze the genotype of PAK1 gene rs2298793 T→C polymorphism and rs2844327 C→T polymorphism of 105 patients with breast cancer accepting endocrine therapy. Prognostic factors such as age, state of menses, magnitude of tumor, pathological type, condition of operation, clinical stage, estrogen receptor, progesteron receptor, Her-2 and endocrine therapy drug were comprehensively considered, and Cox model was employed to analyze the relation of PAK1 genotype with the time-to-tumor progression (TTP). Results As to rs2298793C→T polymorphism, the TTP of CT genotype was shorter than TT genotype (P

Objective To observe the clinical features of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN).Methods Six patients (11 eyes) with AMN were included in this study,with every 2-week follow-ups till six months.Among them,five had preceding dengue fever (83.3％),one had history of head trauma (16.7％).All patients received routine examination,fundus photography,infrared reflectance (IR) imaging,spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scanning and fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) initially,and fundus photography,IR,SD-OCT during follow-up.Results Sudden onset of central/paracentral scotoma in one eye or both eyes was the main visual symptom.There were 1 eye with normal fundus,2 eyes with wedge-shape lesions,8 eyes with yellow-white or brown sheet lesion.IR imaging demonstrated localized areas of hypo-reflection in the macula.SD-OCT scanning through these areas revealed hyper-reflection in the photoreceptor layer and disruption of its normal reflective structures.Subsequent SD-OCT demonstrated that the hyper-reflection of the photoreceptor layer regressed gradually,followed by thinning of the outer nuclear layer.The external limiting membrane and ellipsoid zone became continuous;however,the interdigitation zone was not restored.There was no remarkable findings of the AMN lesions on FFA.The scotomas persisted in all 6 patients (11 eyes) by the last visit.Conclusions IR imaging demonstrated localized areas of hypo-reflection in the macula.SD-OCT revealed hyper-reflection in the photoreceptor layer in acute stage and the interdigitation zone was not restored in late stage.AMN has a relative poor prognosis with persistent scotomas through at least 6 months.

Objective To analyze antimalarial assosiated retinopathy detected by different methods with of modern ocular fundus examination, and explore screening strategy and the diagnosis of hydroxych-loroquine assosiatedretinopathy according to clinical experience and international guidelines. Methods Full fundus examination was performed in two patients with antimalarial retinopathy. The related literature were reviewed. Results Two patients had bull's eyes maculopathy and abnormal visual fields. Conclusion Clin-icians' alertness to hydroxychloroquine related retinopathy may improve early diagnosis of hydroxychloroquine toxicity. New objective tests are more sensitive than visual fields examination. Visible bull's-eye maculopathy is a late change, and the goal of screening is to recognize toxicity at early stage.
