Objective To analyze the fetal chromosomal karyotypes in prenatal diagnosis and the relationship between abnormal karyotypes and the indications of prenatal diagnosis. Methods Fetal chromosomal karyotypes were examined in 247 pregnant women (16 to 28 weeks' gestation) by amniocentesis. Results 14 abnormal chromosomal karyotypes were detected, the abnormal rate was 5.67%. Trisomy was the major abnormality, it was 7out of 14(50%), including 4 trisomy 21(42.86%)?2 trisomy 18(28.57%)?1 trisomy 13(14.28%).Balanced translocation was found in 6 fetuses, the frequency was 42.86%. In 18 pregnant women aged over 35 years,1 (5.56%) with trisomy 21 was detected, and 3 of trisomy 21 were in 229 pregnant women aged under 35 years (1.31%,P=0.235). 3 Trisomy were detected in 15 fetuses with ultrasonographic suspected abnormalities. Conclusions During the second trimester, in the pregnant women who had different indications for prenatal diagnosis, the rate of chromosomal abnormality was 5.67%. Trisomy was the most common abnormal karyotype. As one method of prenatal screening, ultrasound in the second trimester could increase the antenatal detection rate of fetal chromosomal abnormality.

Objective To investigate the effect of comprehensive training based on work process in the teaching of Pediatric Nursing.Methods A cluster sampling of Class 1,2 enrolled in 2008 were taken as the experimental group,and Class 3,4 enrolled in 2008 were taken as the control group.The comprehensive training method WaS used in the experimental group,and the conventional practice teaching method was used in the control group.The comprehensive skills and the comprehensive ability of clinical nursing were aSsessed after experiment,questionnaires were distributed to the two groups to investigate the stimuhted learning interest of students.Results The experimental group had higher scores in comprehensire skills and comprehensive ability of clinical nursing than the control group.The teaching method of the experimental group had better effect in stimulating students learning interest than that of the control group.Conclusions The comprehensive training method based on work process used in the teaching of and comprehensive quality.

Objective To construct estrogen receptor α (ERα)trans-activation system. Methods The full length ERα and its different function regions [ ( transcriptional activation function 1 ( AF1 ), DNA inding domain ( DBD), and transcriptional activation function 2 ( AF2 ) ] were amplified from pcDNA3 -ERα by PCR and cloned into the pGAL vector. The expressions of the recombinant plasmids constructed were detected via immunoblotting. The 293T cells transfected with recombinant plasmids of full length ERα, its different function regions and empty vector were divided into 5 groups; each group was divided into 2 parts which were treated with or without estrogen (E2). The transcriptional activity of each group was detected in 293T cells after the recombinant plasmid was co-transfected with 0. 2 μg of estrogen receptor element luciferase(ERE-LUC) and 0. 1 μg of plasmid expressing β-galactosidase and treated with or without 10 nmol/L E2 for 24 hours. Results The full length ERα and its different function regions were expressed in the 293T cells. Compared with the empty pGAL vector, the transcription activities of full length ERα, AF1, AF2 and DBD recombinant plasmids were raised about 20. 44±1.01, 2. 09±0. 11, 8. 09±0. 30 and 1.05±0. 09 fold, respectively, with the induction of E2 after transfection in the 293T colls. Conclusion The trans-activation system of ERα has been successfully established.

Objective To evaluate the effect of intrathecal cardamonin on diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) in rats.Methods Healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 2 months,weighing 180-220 g,were included in the study.Diabetes mellitus was produced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 60 mg/kg after intrathecal catheterization.When decrease in pain threshold＞50％ of the baseline at 21 days after diabetes mellitus was produced,the induction of DNP was considered successful.Twenty-four rats with DNP were divided into 4 groups (n=6 each) using a random number table:group DNP,rapamycin group (group R),cardamonin 50 μg group (group D50) and cardamonin 100 μg group (group D100).Another 6 healthy age-matched rats were used as normal control (group C).In DNP,R,D50 and D100 groups,dimethyl sulfoxide 10 μl,rapamycin 5 μg and cardamonin 50 μg and 100 μg were intrathecally injected,respectively,once a day for 7 consecutive days starting from 21 days after successful estabiishment of the model.Mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured before establishment of the model,on 7,14 and 21 days after establishment of the model,and on 1,4 and 7 days after intrathecal injection.The rats were sacrificed after the last MWT measurement,and their L3-5 segments of the spinal cord were removed for determination of the expression of S6K,p-S6K and synapsin Ⅱ by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,MWT was significantly decreased,and the expression of spinal S6K,p-S6K and synapsin Ⅱ was up-regulated in group DNP (P＜0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group DNP,MWT was significantly increased,and the expression of spinal S6K,p-S6K and synapsin Ⅱ was down-regulated in R,D50 and D100 groups (P＜0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group D50,MWT was significantly increased,and the expression of spinal S6K,p-S6K and synapsin Ⅱ was down-regulated in group D100 (P＜0.05).Conclusion Intrathecal cardamonin can relieve DNP in rats,and the mechanism is related to inhibiting spinal mammalian target of rapamycin activity and down-regulating the expression of synapsin Ⅱ.

For the past several decades, the infectious disease profile in China has been shifting with rapid developments in social and economic aspects, environment, quality of food, water, housing, and public health infrastructure. Notably, 5 notifiable infectious diseases have been almost eradicated, and the incidence of 18 additional notifiable infectious diseases has been significantly reduced. Unexpectedly, the incidence of over 10 notifiable infectious diseases, including HIV, brucellosis, syphilis, and dengue fever, has been increasing. Nevertheless, frequent infectious disease outbreaks/events have been reported almost every year, and imported infectious diseases have increased since 2015. New pathogens and over 100 new genotypes or serotypes of known pathogens have been identified. Some infectious diseases seem to be exacerbated by various factors, including rapid urbanization, large numbers of migrant workers, changes in climate, ecology, and policies, such as returning farmland to forests. This review summarizes the current experiences and lessons from China in managing emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, especially the effects of ecology, climate, and behavior, which should have merits in helping other countries to control and prevent infectious diseases.
