Objective To explore the correlation of the apoptosis of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) with plasma 8-iso-prostaglandin F2? (8-iso-PGF2?) level in order to confirm the peroxidation damage of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates with jaundice.Me-thods One hundred and twenty-nine neonates who were 2 to 7 days old were divided into 4 groups:slight jaundice (43 cases),moderate jaundice (38 cases),serious jaundice (18 cases),and healthy control(30 cases)groups.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? levels were assayed by enzyme immunoassay(EIA),and the apoptosis rates of PBMC were determined by flow cytometry.Results 1.There was no significant difference in the apoptosis rate of PBMC between normal and slight jaundice neonates (P=0.108);apoptosis rate of PBMC was increasing with the aggravation of jaundice.2.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level in normal neonates was 14.74?6.71 ng/L,there was no difference between normal neonates and neonates with slight jaundice(P=0.502).Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? levels in neonates with moderate and serious jaundice were much higher(Pa=0).3.Positive correlation existed between plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level and PBMC apoptosis rate (r=0.602 P=0).Conclusions Hyperbilirubinemia can induce peroxidation damage,resulting in increase of PBMC apoptosis.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level can accurately eva-luate the peroxidation damage in neonates with jaundice.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestation,pathogenesis and imaging features of hemichorea associated with hyperglycemia in primary diabetes mellitus(DM).Methods Analyze the clinical manifestations,the neuroimaging features and the treatment of the three patients with hemichorea induced by hyperglycaemia in primary DM,and review the literatures about this disease.Results All of the three cases had a long history of uncontrolled diabetes,among whom,two were non-ketotic hyperglycemic patients and one was ketotic hyperglycemic patient.All of them had an acute onset hemichorea which was almost continuous during awakeness and ceased during sleep.The early CT findings in this disorder were high density in the caudate nucleus,putamen and/or globus pallidus on the side contralateral to the involved limbs,but showed decreased attenuation or completely resolved in about a month.T1-weighted MR images in all cases showed high-signal intensities without edema or mass effect in the diseased region which decreased after several months,while the T2-weighted images were more variable.Conclusion Hemichorea induced by hyperglycemia often happens in the patients with poorly controlled DM,and both of the non-ketotic hyperglycemic and the ketotic hyperglycemic state can be the cause.In the major affected region-corpora striata,CT shows hyperdense lesions,T1-weighted MR images show hyperintense lesions and T2-weighted images show variable lesions in the early time.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of trimetazidine on endothelin and nitric oxide(NO)in patients with unstable angina pectoris.METHODS:80 patients with unstable angina pectoris were randomly assigned to trimetazidine group(n=40)or conventional treatment group(n=40).The levels of endothelin(ET)and NO before treatment and at 4 weeks after treatment were determined.Meanwhile,another 40 healthy volunteers were assigned to normal control group and their fasting levels of ET and NO on resting were determined.RESULTS:In unstable angina pectoris patients,the NO level decreased significantly but plasma ET level increased significantly,showing significant difference as compared with the normal control group(P0.05).The level of NO increased markedly and the ET level decreased markedly in trimetazidine-treated group after treatment,showing significant differences as compared with before treatment(P

Objective:To comprehend morphology changes of temporomandibular joint in adults with mandible deviation,and the correlation in these changes.Methods:The mesofault radiographs of temporomandibular joint were taken in 21 adult patients with mandible deviation.The data described morphology of temporomandibular joint were analysed.Results:In adult patients with mandible deviation,the condyle process of opposite side was anterior and inferior when compared with deflected side.The height of condyle process,the upper height of condyle process,the gradient of prosobevel of condyle process and the gradient of back bevel of glenoid fossa were augmented when compared to deflected side.The gradient of prosobevel of condyle process showed positive correlation to the prosoblank of joint and the deep of glenoid fossa,and the height of condyle process showed positive correlation to the upper height of condyle process in both sides.The gradient of back bevel of condyle process showed positive correlation to the gradient of back bevel of glenoid fossa in deflected side.The gradient of back bevel of condyle process showed negative correlation to the supper blank of joint and the height of articular tubercle in opposite side.Conclusion:There are some differences in morphology of both temporomandibular joint in adults with mandible deviation,and there is some correlation between these changes.

Objective To study the chemical constituents of Peperomia dindygulensis. Methods Chromatography was used to isolate and purify the chemical constituents, their structures were identified by spectral analyses. Results Eight compounds were isolated and identified as bis-(2-methoxy-4, 5-methylenedioxy)-benzophenone (Ⅰ), peperomin B (Ⅱ), peperomin C (Ⅲ), 5-hydroxy-4′, 7, 8-trimethoxy flavone (Ⅳ), 5-hydroxy-3′, 4′, 7, 8-tetramethoxy flavone (Ⅴ), 5, 3′-dihydroxy-4′, 7, 8-trimethoxy flavone (Ⅵ), ?-sitosterol (Ⅶ), hexadecanoic acid (Ⅷ). Conclusion Compound Ⅰ is a new compound named as dindygulensin. All compounds, except Ⅴ, are isolated from P. dindygulensis for the first time.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the isolation and antimicrobial resistance of nonfermentative Gram-negative bacilli(NFGNB) in order to provide laboratory evidence for clinically selecting antibiotics.METHODS All isolates were identified by routine procedure and DADE BEHRING MicroScan auto-system,and K-B paper disk diffusion in accordance with NCCLS standards was employed for drug sensitivity tests.RESULTS There were 273 strains of NFGNB isolated from Feb 2005 to Aug 2006,mainly from sputum,middle urine and secretion. The main NFGNB were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.The resistance rates of P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii to imipenem/cilastatin,cefoperazone/sulbactam and cefepime were less than 13.6%,11.9% and 25.4%;to amikacin and piperacillin/tazobactam were 31.1% to 37.8%.The resistance rate of S.maltophilia was the highest among the NFGNB.Its resistance rates to imipenem/cilastatin showed 100%,to cefoperazone/sulbactam,levofloxacin and compound sulfamethoxazole were less than 14.3%.CONCLUSIONS The NFGNB are the important pathogens causing clinical infection,especially P.aeruginosa,A.baumannii and S.maltophilia.There are significant differences in antimicrobial resistance among different NFGNB.

Objective To report 44 cases of meta-superior position anorectal malformation in different age therapied by posterior sagittal anorectoplasty(PSARP) operation, and to discuss possibility of one-stage anorectoplasty via posterior sagittal approach in neonate. Methods The clinical data of 44 cases meta-superior position anorectal malformation,which were treated by PSARP,were studied retrospectively. Results Of 44 cases, 15 were treated by colon stoma in neonate, then PSARP was executed after 3～7 months. And the rest 29 cases (9 in neonate and 20 in 2 months～9 years) were operated with one-stage anorectoplasty via posterior sagittal approach. Among 21 children followed from post-operration 6 months to 5 years, 18 cases of defecation clinical score were fineness. Conclusion The curative effects of PSARP in neonate to meta-superior position anorectal malformation is satisfactory. If the neonate is in good condition, one-stage anorectoplasty via posterior sagittal approach could be executed in infant, and favourable defecate function could be remain.
