1.Analysis of causes of extrauterine growth restriction in premature infants and the status of nutritional ;intake
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2016;34(9):714-717
Extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in premature infant is a common problem in the world. The reasons for high EUGR rate, such as declining gestational age and birth weight, getting more medical treatment and examination or interruption of nutritional support, had been profoundly studied. However, there are few reports about the limited ability of intakes of energy and various nutrients and the updating of the growth standard curve . Research suggested that the average time taken to reach the recommended fat intake in preterm infants is proximately day 6 after birth, protein day 4 after birth, carbohydrate one-week after birth. Vitamins and trace elements are usually not able to or take a long time to reach the recommended nutrient intake. Without enough intake of energy and nutrients to maintain the need of intrauterine growth rate and catch-up growth in preterm infants, EUGR cannot be improved. In this paper, the EUGR and the intake of important nutrients, such as energy, fat, protein, vitamins and minerals, etc., during hospitalization were reviewed in hope to achieve more rational and standardized management for preterm infant,and provide more reasonable advise to control EUGR.

Objective To investigate the association between hepatic fibrosis and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)in the patients with schistosomiasis. Methods Totally 145 schistosomiasis patients confirmed by Jingzhou First Peo-ple's Hospital during the period of February 2014 to June 2016 were randomly selected as an experimental group,and 100 healthy people during the same period were randomly selected as a control group. The serum samples of the two groups were col-lected and the level of ANCA was detected by indirect immunofluorescence,and the levels of hyaluronic acid,laminin,procol-lagen type Ⅲ,and collagen type Ⅳ were detected by radioimmunoassay. The levels of the above indexes of the two groups were compared. Results The positive rate of ANCA was 28.96%(42/145)in the experimental group and 1.00%(1/100)in the healthy control group,and the difference between them was statistically significant(P < 0.05). The levels of hyaluronic acid, laminin,procollagen type Ⅲ and collagen type Ⅳ in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P < 0.05),and the proportions of those with abnormal levels of hyal-uronic acid,laminin,procollagen type Ⅲ and collagen type IV in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P < 0.05). In the experimental group,among the 42 pa-tients with ANCA positives,the proportions of those with abnormal levels of hyaluronic acid and laminin were significantly high-er than the proportions of those with ANCA negatives,and in the former,the levels of the four indicators of liver fibrosis were all higher than the normal values,and the average levels of hyaluronic acid and laminin in the patients with ANCA positives were significantly higher than those in the patients with ANCA negatives(all P < 0.05). Conclusion The patients with schistosomia-sis hepatic fibrosis could be positive for the autoimmune antibody ANCA,and ANCA may be associated with the autoimmune process of liver fibrosis.

Objective To study the sensitivity and reliability of rat skin anaphylactoid test method, detect and evaluate the anaphylactoid reaction of traditional Chinese medecine injection. Methods The condition of rat skin anaphylactoid test was optimized by studying the influencing factors of sensitivity and reliability of test with C48/80 as a tool drug, Tween80, endotoxin, China cobra toxin, trichosanthin injection, Tanreqing injection and Xuesaitong injection were investigated. Results The best conditions of rat skin anaphylactoid test was as follows:intrademal inject the drug with insulin syringe, 50-100μL per point, immediately inject 0.5%Evans blue dye 1 mL though caudal vein, 15 min later, kill the rat by carotid artery bleeding, clip dorsal skin to do the test. With this method, Tween80, endotoxin, China cobra toxin and trichosanthin injection all can induce blue stain in rat skin. Tanreqing injection showed no blue stain at the clinical dose. Xuesaitong injection although can induce blue stain in rat skin at the clinical dose, but the results cannot exclude the interference of its pharmacological function. Conclusion The method is simple with short test cycle, less dose of test drug, high detection sensitivity and good reproducibility, but some drug can show false positive result due to its own property.

Objective To investigate the dedifferentiation of neuroglial cells and its induction after optic nerve injury. Methods Adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups the normal control group,the injury group,the transplantation group and the microcrush and transplantation group.Optic nerves were harvested at days 3,7,14 and 28 after the operation.HE staining was used to count the number of neuroglial cells.Immunohistochemistry,Western blotting and in situ hybridization histochemistry were employed together with computerized image analysis to evaluate the expressions of Nestin,GFAP,MBP,NF,BDNF,Nogo-A and Nogo-A mRNA.Immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the co-expression of Nestin and GFAP or Nestin and MBP. Results The number of cells only increased at day 7 after the nerve injury, the expressions of Nestin,MBP,Nogo-A and Nogo-A mRNA were up-regulated,the expressions of GFAP,NF and BDNF were down-regulated,and some Nestin-GFAP positive cells and a few of Nestin-MBP positive cells were detected in the injury group.Compared with the injury group,the number of cells was increased sometime after the nerve injury;the expressions of Nestin,GFAP,BDNF and NF were up-regulated,the expressions of MBP,Nogo-A and Nogo-A mRNA were down-regulated,and the number of Nestin-GFAP positive cells increased in the transplantation group and the microcrush and transplantation group.Conclusion After optic nerve injury,some astrocytes undergo dedifferentiation while the macroglial cells display a gene expression pattern that is unfavorable for nerve regeneration.Pre-degenerated peripheral nerves could enhance the dedifferentiation of astrocytes and induce the gene expression pattern of macroglial cells that is favorable for nerve regeneration.

Objective To investigate the apoptosis inducing effects of oridonin on leukemic THP-1 cells and its mechanisms of action. Methods THP-1 cells in culture medium in vitro were given different concentrations of oridonin (16~56 μmol/L) for 24, 48 and 72 h. The inhibitory rate of the cells were measured by MTT assay, apoptotic morphology was observed by Hoechst 33258 staining, and Annexin V/PI staining was used to detect cell apoptosis by flow cytometry (FCM). Caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) expression were detected by Western blotting. Results Oridonin (over 32 μmol/L) could inhibit the growth of THP-1 cells and cause apoptosis remarkably, the suppression was both in time-and dose-dependentmanner. Marked morphological changes of cell apoptosis such as condensation of chromatin was clearly observed by Hoechst 33258 staining, and Annexin V/PI staining showed that apoptotic cells gradually increased after the cells treated with oridinon. Western blotting showed cleavage of the caspase-3 zymogen protein (32×103), with the appearance of its 20×103 subunit, and a cleaved 89×103 fragment of 116×103 PARP was also found. Conclusion Oridonin can inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in THP-1 cells via activation of caspase-3. The results indicated that oridonin might be an important potential anti-leukemia reagent.

Objective To investigate the relationship of the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene polymorphism with Hashimoto′s thyroiditis(HT). Methods One hundred HT patients and 260 randomly matched healthy controls were enrolled to detect the KIR genotype. The genomic DNA were extracted, and 15 selected KIR genes, KIR2DL1-5, KIR3DL1-3, KIR2DS1-5, KIR3DS1 and pseudogene KIR2DP1, were determined by a polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). Results The frequency of KIR2DL5 gene was significantly lower of the patient group than that of the control group (0.200 vs 0.312, RR=0.64, P<0.01). Conclusion There may be an association between pathogenesis of HT and KIR2DL5 gene.
