1.Ultrasound in Early Diagnosis of Periventricular-intraventricular Hemorrhage in Premature Infants
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging 2013;(10):749-751,753
Purpose To observe the ultrasonographic features of periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) in preterm infants, to evaluate the value of cranial ultrasound for early diagnosis of PIVH. Materials and Methods 555 cases of premature children underwent bedside cranial ultrasound examination, characteristics of their ultrasound images were retrospectively analyzed and categorized with Papile grading, gradeⅢandⅣPIVH were defined as severe bleeding. Results 125 PIVH cases (22.52%) were detected by ultrasound, of which 111 cases (88.8%) were Papile gradeⅠ, manifested as hyperechoic group localized in the rear and below lateral ventricle anterior horn and in the sulcus of hypothalamic caudate nucleuscaudate;7 cases (5.6%) were Papile gradeⅡ, manifested as increased echogenicity, irregular widen or isolated mass shadow of the choroid plexus within the triangle zone and posterior horn of the lateral ventricle;7 cases (5.6%) were Papile gradeⅢ, manifested as hyperechoic group within the lateral ventricle with ventricular dilatation. 7 cases (1.26%) were severe PIVH. Overall incidence rates of PIVH in premature children whose gestational age was <32 weeks and ≥ 32 weeks were 45.05% and 16.89% respectively; overall incidence rates of PIVH for preterm infants whose birth weight were <1500 g and ≥ 1500 g were 44.16% and 19.04%, overall incidence of PIVH of preterm infants with gestational age<32 weeks and birth weight<1500 g was significantly higher than their contemporaries with gestational age≥32 weeks and birth weight ≥1500 g, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=40.334, 23.978; P<0.01). Conclusion Incidence of PIVH becomes higher when the gestational age of preterm child is smaller and the birth weight is lower. Performing routine cranial ultrasound examination for preterm infants is important for early diagnosis of PIVH and Papile grading, thus will instruct the clinical intervention in early stage.

Objective To investigate and detect the immunity characteristics of a conserved sequence including 30 amino residues which is located in the C terminal of HPVL1 .Methods The immune model of mouse was establish with a polypeptide synthetized based on this sequence .The amount of CD3+ ,CD3+CD4+ or CD3+CD8+ lymphocyte of the mouse spleen was detected by Flow cy-tometry ,then the value of CD4+ /CD8+ were calculated .The cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay .Sample was took from the cell supernatant to detect the content of IL-4 and IFN-γby double antibody sandwich ELISA .Results (1)The amount of CD3+CD8+ lymphocytes and the value of CD4+ /CD8+ were significantly increased than control group(P<0 .05) .(2)The result of T cell proliferation showed no significant difference (P>0 .05) .(3)The level of IL 4 were significantly higher than that of control group (P<0 .01) .The content of IFN-γlevel showed no significant difference compared with control group (P>0 .05) .Conclusion The results showed that it was affirmative that the polypeptides induced humoral immunity ,which was worth to be furtherly studied as a preventive vaccine .But its cell immunogenicity is weak ,and the attenmpt to induce the response related to the cell immunogenicity was failed ,and the immunogenicity of the peptide remains to be improved .

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of CD28 and CD160 in patients with chronic HIV infection.Methods 50 patients with HIV from January 2016 to January 2017 were selected as the observation group, and 50 healthy volunteers were recruited as control group.Observe and record general information of all participants, the expression of CD28, CD160 in CD4+and CD8+T cells, initial T cells (TN), the expression of CD160 in central memory T cells (TCM), effector memory T cells (TEM), end effector memory T cells (TEMRA), mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), viral load of two kinds of the cells, analyze the correlation between the expression level of CD28 and CD160 and CD4+T cell count and viral load.Results With the increase of CD160 expression of CD4+T cells, CD4+T cells showed a downward trend, there is a negative correlation between them (r=-0.561, P<0.05), CD8+T cell number is on the rise, there is a positive correlation between them (r=0.619, P<0.05), and HIV-RNA copy number increased with the increase of CD160 expression on CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells, both positive (r=0.684, P<0.05, r=0.459, P<0.05);with the increase of CD28 cells on the expression of CD4+T, CD4+, CD8+T cells showed a rising trend, there is a positive correlation between them (r=0.621, P<0.05, r=0.527, P<0.05, HIV-RNA) and the copy number decreased with the increase of the expression of CD28 and CD4+T on CD8+T cells, there is a negative correlation between them (r=-0.634, P<0.05, r=-0.582, P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the positive rate of expression in TEMRA subgroup and MFI of CD160 in CD8+T cell in two groups (P>0.05).The positive rate and MFI of CD8+T cell CD160 in TN, TCM and TEM subgroups in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (Tcm), with statistical significance.Conclusion The expression of CD28 in patients with chronic HIV infection is decreased, and the expression of CD160 is increased, which may be related to the decrease of HIV CD4+T and CD8+T cells, in which CD160 mainly affects the memory CD8+T.
