Objective To investigate the clinical effect of interventional therapy in the treatment of acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis.Methods A total of 20 patients with acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis was treated by interventional therapy from February 2004 to April 2006.Under the guidance of ultrasonography,intravenous thrombolysis through the popliteal vein combined with iliac vein stenting was employed.The venous patency was assessed with angiography.Results The catheter-based thrombolysis through the ipsilateral popliteal vein was effective for all the patients.Balloon dilatation angioplasty combined with endovascular stenting was applied in 15 patients,while balloon dilatation angioplasty alone was utilized in other 5 patients.The implantation of a temporary cava filter was required in 10 patients.After intravenous thrombolysis through the popliteal vein,the recanalization rate was 30%～90%(mean,55%) in the iliac vein and 40%～80%(mean,65%) in the femoral vein.Postoperative hematuria was encountered in 1 patient.No symptomatic embolism of pulmonary artery was seen.Postoperatively,clinical symptoms on the effected limb significantly subsided or completely disappeared.The hospitalization expenditure was 52 000～81 000 yuan(mean,74 000 yuan).Follow-up observations for 1～24 months(mean,12 months) were carried out in the 20 patients.The patency rate was 100%(15/15) in 15 patients receiving iliac vein stenting.Out of 5 patients with balloon dilatation,the iliac vein was completely obstructed in 2 patients and was recanalized by 10%～20% in 3 patients.Conclusions Catheter-based thrombolysis through the popliteal vein combined with endovascular stenting is an effective therapeutic strategy for acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis,but it is very expensive.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of family environment in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in clinics, and analyse the risk factors for ADHD. Methods Two thousand two hundred and ninety-six children with inattention, hyperactivity or unfavourable school performance were subjected to diagnosis with DSM-Ⅳ criteria in clinics. The characteristics of family environment were investigated by self-prepared questionnaires. The risk factors for ADHD were explored by univariate analysis and noneonditioned multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results Seven hundred and twenty children were diagnosed with ADHD. There were significant differences in family environment between children with ADHD and those without(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The risk factors for ADHD included discord between parents, parental smoking and maternal depression during pregnancy and after delivery, while older age, female, paternal higher educational background were protective factors for ADHD. Conclusion Unfavourable family environment may be associated with the prevalence of ADHD, and special attention should be paid to the family environment in the treatment of ADHD.

Objective:To explore the hepatocyte insulin sensitivity of intrauterine growth retardation ( IUGR) rats and establish an insulin resistance cell model in vitro.Methods: An IUGR animal model was established by protein malnutrition during the mother pregnancy .On 60 d and 90 d after birth , the offspring rats were fasted for 12 hours and then their angular vein blood was collected to measure the fasting plasma glucose and fasting serum insulin level , then the insulin resistance index ( HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity index ( ISI) were calculated .The insulin sensitivity was evaluated by HOMA-IR and ISI.Primary hepatocytes from each group were respectively isolated by two-step perfusion with collage-nase and were defined as normal hepatocytes group and IUGR hepatocytes group .The normal hepatocyte group was divided into two groups: control group and insulin induction group .Insulin induction group was established by primary cultures of normal hepatocyte incubated with varying dilutions of insulin . CCK-8 was used to detect the viability of the cultured hepatocytes .Glucose oxidase-peroxidase method kit was used to measure glucose consumption of the hepatocytes .Results:HOMA-IR was significantly higher in IUGR rats than in the normal rats at the age of 60 days ( t=-17 .02 , P<0 .05 ) and 90 days ( t=-12.52, P<0.05).ISI was significantly lower than in the normal rats aged 60 days (t=5.61, P<0.05) and 90 days (t=12.42, P<0.05).There were no significant differences in hepatocyte viability among the control group , IUGR group and insulin induction group after incubation of 48 h on day 60 (F=1.34, P=0.29) and day 90 (F=0.22, P=0.81).The glucose consumption of the IUGR group and insulin induction group were significantly decreased compared with the control group on day 60 ( F=9.28, P=0.002) and day 90 (F=56.60, P<0.001), while there was no significant difference be-tween the IUGR group and insulin induction group (P=0.08, P=0.10).Conclusion:The insulin sen-sitivity of hepatocytes of IUGR rats decreased from adolescence to adulthood .High-dilution insulin may induce insulin resistance cell model in vitro.

Objective To investigate the roles of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway and its regulatory protein peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR γ) and phosphatase and tension homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) in regulating insulin sensitivity in rats with fetal growth restriction (FGR).Methods Sixteen pregnant rats were randomly divided into two groups including FGR and control groups on the 12th day of pregnancy (eight in each group).The FGR group was given low protein diet (8％ of casein) and restriction diet to establish the neonatal rat model of FGR.All maternal rats after delivery and newborn rats after weaning on 21 days after born were fed with normal diet.Each time blood samples were collected from eight newborn rats of each group to measure levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting insulin(FINS) at the time points of 21 days,two and four months after birth.Then insulin resistance index (IRI) and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) were calculated to evaluate insulin sensitivity.Expression of PI3K,AKT,PPAR γγ,PTEN and glucose transporters 4 (GLUT4) in skeletal muscle at mRNA and protein levels were measured at 21 days,two and four months after birth with real time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction and Western blot,respectively.Relationships between the expression of key molecules of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and insulin sensitivity were analyzed.T-test,and Pearson's correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results (1) The average birth weight of newborn rats in the FGR group was lower than that of the control group [(4.37± 0.69) vs (7.03±0.55) g,t=-20.75,P＜0.05].The incidence of FGR in the FGR group was 93.33％ (70/75).(2) Compared with normal offspring,those in the FGR group showed significantly increased FPG [two months after birth:(5.53± 0.58) vs (7.49 ± 0.38) mmol/L,t=8.08;four months afterbirth:(6.35±0.66) vs (8.94±0.90) mmol/L,t=6.58],FINS [two months afterbirth:(9.18±0.66) vs (14.67± 1.90) mU/L,t=7.71;four months after birth:(33.08±2.76) vs (56.33±2.81) mU/L,t=16.71] and IR1 (two months after birth:2.25±0.31 vs 4.90±0.81,t=8.63;four months after birth:9.30±0.90 vs 22.44±3.10,t=1 1.51),but decreased ISI (two months after birth:0.020 ± 0.002 vs 0.009± 0.001,t=-10.1 4;four months after birth:0.005±0.000 vs 0.002 ±0.000,t=-14.91) at two and four months after birth (all P＜0.05).(3) Compared with normal offspring,those in the FGR group showed decreased expression of PI3K (21 days after birth:0.082±0.028 vs 0.019±0.004,t=-6.29;two months after birth:0.020±0.003 vs 0.010±0.005,t=-4.78;four months after birth:0.014±0.004 vs 0.003±0.001,t=-7.87) and GLUT4 (21 days after birth:0.132±0.057 vs 0.041 ±0.019,t=-4.32;two months after birth:0.183±0.084 vs 0.069±0.017,t=-3.74;four months after birth:0.248±0.069 vs 0.113±0.040,t=-4.74) at mRNA level at 21 days,two and four months after birth (all P＜0.05).Compared with normal offspring,decreased expression of PPAR γ (two months after birth:0.028±0.002 vs 0.012±0.005,t=-3.70;four months after birth:0.030±0.008 vs 0.012±0.005,t=-3.80) and increased expression of PTEN (two months after birth:0.020±0.004 vs 0.045±0.014,t=5.09;four months after birth:0.023±0.007 vs 0.034±0.009,t=2.57) at mRNA level were observed in offspring of the FGR group at two and four months after birth (all P＜0.05).(4) Compared with normal offspring,expression of PI3K protein (21 days after birth:0.22±0.01 vs 0.17±0.02,t=-6.62;two months after birth:0.27±0.03 vs 0.16±0.02,t=-7.25;four months after birth:0.18±0.01 vs 0.09±0.02,t=-9.79) and GLUT4 protein (21 days after birth:0.21 ±0.01 vs 0.03±0.01,t=-27.29;two months after birth:0.10±0.01 vs 0.06t±0.01,t=-3.90;four months after birth:0.13 ±0.01 vs 0.08± 0.02,t=-8.10) decreased in offspring in the FGR group at 21 days,two and four months after birth (all P＜0.05).Compared with normal offspring,those in the FGR group showed decreased expression of PPAR γ protein (two months after birth:0.10 ± 0.01 vs 0.07± 0.01,t =-7.29;four months after birth:0.09±0.01 vs 0.08±0.01,t=-2.83),but increased expression of PTEN at protein level (two months after birth:0.10±0.01 vs 0.15±0.02,t=6.01;four months after birth:0.09±±0.01 vs 0.13±0.02,t=5.51) at two and four months after birth (all P＜0.05).(5) The IRI levels in offsprings in the FGR group were negatively correlated with the expression of PI3K,GLUT4 and PPAR γ at protein level (two months after birth:r=-0.90,-0.92 and-0.79;four months after birth:r=-0.92,-0.75 and-0.73,all P＜0.05),but positively correlated with the expression of PTEN at protein level (r=0.87 and 0.86,both P＜0.05) at two and four months after birth.Conclusions The abnormal expression of the key molecules of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway precedes the decrease of insulin sensitivity in newborn rats with FGR and the expression regulatory protein PPAR γ and PTEN are also changed,suggesting that these molecules may induce the impairment of insulin sensitivity in rats with FGR and be involved in the development of insulin resistance.

Purpose To explore the clinicopathological characteristics of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma ( PNHL) of lung. Methods The clinical features, morphology and immunohistopathological phenotypes were retrospectively studied in 28 cases of PNHL and re-viewed of the literature. Results The composition of this group of cases is 18 cases of male, 10 cases female. The a median age of pa-tients was 57 years old. According to the WHO classification, all of the 28 cases of in our PNHL series were diagnosed as non-Hodgkin lymphoma ( NHL) , including 17 mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue extranodal marginal zone lymphomas ( MALT) , 5 diffuse large B cell lymphomas ( DLBLC) , 2 NK/T cell lymphomas and 2 anaplastic large cell lymphomas, 1 mantle cell lymphoma ( MCL) and 1 pe-ripheral T cell lymphomas, unspecified, respectively. One-third PNHL patients presented with specific clinical symptoms such as cough, chest pain, dyspnea, and fatigue, Imaging examination showed unilateral or bilateral pulmonary infiltrate, single lesions or multiple nodules, and the lesions always involved with the trachea, bronchus and lung. Follow-up was completed in 16 patients ( range, 3 to 38 months) . 3 cases were conducted with pneumonectomy, among which 2 cases were given postoperative adjuvant chem-otherapy. Seven patients were given chemotherapy alone, and 5 patients did not give any treatment following initial diagnosis. At the time of last follow-up, 13 patients were alive with disease, 2 patients were died. The tumor metastasis in the left inguinal lymph node was found in one patient after 2 years by surgery. Conclusions It was shown that there was no specific clinical manifestations and fea-tures of pulmonary PNHL. Among of them, the MALT is the most common diseases, and the highly aggressive lymphomas many be oc-cur, such as the DLBLC, NK/T cell lymphoma. The diagnosis of PNHL depends on pathological examination. The immunohistochemi-cal staining and molecular pathological technology may helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the tumors.

Objective To explore the improvement of core symptoms and detailed function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) after treatment with methylphenidate extended-release tablets, and analyse the relationship between core symptoms reduction and detailed function improvement. Methods One hundred and fifty-six children with confirmed ADHD were rated with Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham, Version Ⅳ (SNAP-Ⅳ)Scale before treatment, then methylphenidate extended-release tablets were orally administered 18 mg once daily for 1 month, and children were rated again by means of SNAP-Ⅳ Scale and detailed function improvement questionnaire. The core symptoms reduction and detailed function improvement were observed, and their relationship was analysed. Results The primary mean scores of each factor in SNAP-Ⅳ Scale decreased significantly after treatment with methylphenidate extended-release tablets(P< 0.001). The reduction rate of factor IOWA/I/O was the most significant (>50%), followed by ADHD-H/Im and ADHD-In. The performance of school study, homework doing and social behavioral function was improved, and the detailed function was significantly improved. The reduction rate in ADHD-In factor was significantly correlated with improvement of school study and homework doing (P<0.01). The reduction rate in ADHD-H/Im factor was significantly correlated with improvement of social behavioral function(P<0.05). Conclusion Methylphenidate extended-release tablets play a role in both core symptoms reduction and detailed function improvement in children with ADHD, and core symptoms reduction is related to detailed function improvement to some degree. Methylphenidate extended-release tablets exert different effects on different detailed function.

Based on the conservation of nucleotides at splice sites, the characteristics of base composition and base correlation in the adjacent segment sequences, the distance between alternative donor or acceptor splice sites and the content of GC and TC near splice sites, the donor and acceptor splice sites for alternative and constitutive introns are predicted by use of the method of diversity measure combined with quadratic discriminant analysis. For alternative splice sites the total prediction accuracies are 87.9% and 89.9% for donors and acceptors respectively (with the chosen threshold -2). For constitutive splice sites the total accuracy are 92.8% and 94.3% for donors and acceptors respectively (with the chosen threshold -1).
