Objective To investigate the changes of umbilical adiponectin(APN) levels in newborn whose mothers with gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT).Methods Eighteen neonates of GIGT pregnancies and 50 controls of normal glucose tolerance (NGT) pregnancies were studied.APN concentration was qualified in the umbilical vein serum with radioimmunoassay methods.Capillary blood glucose was measured at the first hour after delivery.Results Umbilical APN level in the GIGT group was significantly higher than that in NGT group [(61.06?16.85)mg/L vs(48.04?15.47)mg/L,t=2.38 P0.05).Conclusions Umbilical serum APN levels are elevated in newborns of GIGT mo-thers.This may be due to the dysregulation of serum APN levels associate with GIGT pregnancy.More attention shall be paid to the metabolic changes of GIGT mothers and their offspring.
4.Bladder tissue engineering scaffold:its application and vascularized strategies
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(47):7659-7665
BACKGROUND:Along with the increasing improvement of bladder tissue engineering research, the vascularization of tissue-engineered bladder after implantation becomes an issue of concern. OBJECTIVE: Combined with relevant literature in recent years, to review the choice, design and application of scaffold materials for bladder tissue engineering as wel as vascularized strategies folowing implantation. METHODS:The first author retrieved PubMed database and CNKI databases for articles relevant to biological scaffold materials in bladder tissue engineering and vascularization of tissue-engineered bladder published between January 2000 to September 2014 using the keywords of “tissue engineering; bladder; biomaterials/scaffolds; vascularization” in English and Chinese, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Recently, the biological scaffolds for bladder tissue engineering include two main categories: natural biomaterials and synthetic polymers. The major target of bladder tissue engineering remains to prepare the best cel-seeded scaffolds, to determine the best source of stem cels, to explore the best differentiation way of stem cels, and to promote angiogenesis and nerve regeneration of implanted scaffolds. Thereinto, promoting vascularization of scaffold materials and building complex tissues is most chalenging. At present, it is stil difficult to precisely control the directional proliferation, migration and differentiation of the attached endometrial cels. Although the vascular network is necessary for the nutrient supply and metabolic waste removal of cels or tissues, strategies to promote angiogenesis or vasculogenesis are stil limited.

Objective To assess the predictive value of coronary angiography TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG), electrocardiogram (ECG) single-lend ST segment resolution (STR), ECG Max-ST-segment deviation (MaxSTE) on judging myocardial reperfusion after primary angioplasty in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) was performed in 42 patients within 12 hours after AMI onset. Coronary angiography and ECG was done before and after angioplasty. TMPG, ECG single-leed STR and MaxSTE were used to assess myocardial reperfusion immediately after PCI. Myocardial perfusion scan was examined in all the patients using99mTc-MIBI SPECT on day 7±2. Results Compared with the level of myocardial perfusion demonstrated in myocardial scan of 99mTc-MIBI SPECT, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of TMPG, single-lead STR and MaxSTE was calculated. The sensitivity of TMPG, single-lead STR and MaxSTE was 93.75%, 87.50% and 81.25%, respectively, the specificity of them was 20.00%, 80.00% and 80.00%, respectively, and the accuracy was 76.19%, 85.71% and 80.95%, respectively. The findings in single-lead STR and MaxSTE matched well with the results of myocardial scan of 99mTc-MIBI SPECT. Conclusion In the patients suffering from AMI treated with PCI, ECG is an effective method to assess myocardial tissue reperfusion.

Objective: To observe the effect of complex reinforcing-reducing manipulations of acupuncture on flexion and extension angles of hip and knee in patients after surgical treatment of gluteus maximus contracture.
Methods: A total of 66 cases following surgery of gluteus maximus contracture were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group by the random digits table, 33 in each group. In addition to basic treatment, cases in the observation group were treated with reducing manipulation [Tou T ian Liang (Heaven-penetrating Cooling)] on Zhibian (BL 54), Huantiao (GB 30) and Juliao (GB 29) on the affected side and reinforcing manipulation [Shao Shan Huo (Mountain-burning Fire)] on Biguan (ST 31), Futu (ST 32), Zusanli (ST 36), Fenglong (ST 40), Xuehai (SP 10), Diji (SP 8) and Yanglingquan (GB 34). Patients in the control group only received the same basic treatment as the observation group. The treatment was done once a day, 30 d for a course and a 1-week interval between two courses. Then the flexion and extension angles of hip and knee were evaluated using the Lokomat full automatic robot gait evaluation system after 3 courses of treatment.
Results:There were intra-group statistical differences in hip flexion angle on foot followed (HFA-FF), the maximum of hip flexion angle (MAX-HFA), the maximum of hip extension angle (MAX-HEA), knee flexion angle on foot followed (KFA-FF), the maximum of knee flexion angle on stance phase (MAX-KFA-TP) and the maximum of knee flexion angle on swing phase (MAX-KFA-WP) in the observation group and in HFA-FF, MAX-HEA and KFA-FF in the control group (P<0.05). There were between-group statistical differences in HFA-FF, MAX-HFA, MAX-HEA, KFA-FF and MAX-KFA-TP (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The complex reinforcing-reducing manipulations of acupuncture can effectively improve the hip/knee functions following surgery of gluteus maximus contracture.
