1.The role of intrauterine growth retardation on postnatal lipid metabolism and its mechanism
International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;(4):347-350
Intrauterine growth retardation( IUGR) is a common complication during pregnancy. Epide-miological and clinical studies have shown that IUGR has a long-term impact on postnatal lipid metabolism. The effect of IUGR on postnatal lipid metabolism is accomplished by regulating signal pathways of fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism,which may be mediated by epigenetic modifications. Further study of these epigenetic mechanisms could lead to a novel way for prevention and treatment of adulthood diseases, including dyslipi-demia,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome.

The nature and functions of astrocytes (AS), the pathological changes and roles of AS after spinal cord injury, the experimental methods of inhibiting AS proliferation and glial scar formation, and so on, were reviewed. AS beneficially affects repairing injured spinal cord at different periods of differentiation. However, adult AS secreting the factors formed the chemical glial barrier which severely affects nerve regeneration and hinders axon extension. Because of the static, activated and proliferative AS tending to coexist after spinal cord injury, and complex factors of barrier formation, the current approach taken by a single method is difficult to effectively control the AS proliferation and glial scar formation.

Objective To explore the methods of culture and identification of human placental microvascular endothelial cells(HPMVEC) in vitro,aiming to construct the polar model of human placental barrier.Methods By proteolytic enzymes,the tissular and cellular suspensions were collected from the chorionic villi of pregnant and centrifugated over a preformed discontinuous Percoll gradient.The highly purified human placental microvascular endothelial cells were obtained and cultured in HG-DMEM with fetal calf serum and identified by immunocytochemistry(SP methods) and transmission electron microscope.Results The highly purified human microvascular endothelial cells were cultured in vitro and passaged for three to five generations.Factor Ⅷ-related antigen and CD34 were both positive by immunocytochemistry.Weibel-Palade body(W-P body) was observed by transmission electron microscope.Conclusion Human placental microvascular endothelial cells can be isolated and cultured successfully in vitro by our method.

Objective To investigate the efficiency,decision of intra-operative puncture route,treatment of perioperative complications and discuss the other relative problems of the treament for lumbar disc herniation with percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy.Methods To excise the nucleus pulpesus under percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy,use the Macnab standard,visual analogue scale and infrared thermal imaging to estimate the efficiency.Results Among followed-up of 208 patients,182 patients were excellent and good outcome,23 patients favorable,2 patients fair,0 patient poor.The leg and back VAS was a significant improvement 1 week post-operation compared with pre-operation (P < 0.05),but no statistical difference among 3 months,6 months,12 months and 1 week post-operation (P > 0.05).The infrared thermal imaging point out that the legs skin temperature of D-value was a significant improvement post-operation compared with pre-operation (P < 0.05).Conclusions The method excised the nucleus pulpesus,and provided the spine maximum protection about the stability and flexibility.Intra-operative puncture route of individuation design can reduce the complications of intervertebral foramen perioperative,and the key to improve the effectiveness.

Objective To study the clinical findings and audiological characteristics of auditory neuropathy. Methods Clinical findings, pure tone threshold, acoustic impedance audiometry, speech audiometry, auditory brainstem response (ABR) and distortion product otoacoustic emission( DPOAE) were analyzed in 23 cases of auditory neuropathy. Results The patients were predominantly youngster, female more than male. Pure tone audiometry revealed mainly binaural symmetric upward - sloping audiogram with mild and moderate hearing loss at low frequencies. Speech discrimination score was obviously reduced, which was disproportionately to the pure tone threshold. Ipsilateral and contralateral stapedial reflex were absent. ABR was severely abnor- mal. DPOAIE was normal or nearly normal. Conclusion Clinical findings and systemic audiometry revealed the main characteristics of auditory neuropathy, which could be used not only for the understanding, but also for the diagnosis of this disease.

In recent years, with the advances in life cycle of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the approval of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs), great progress has been made in treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC).This article reviews the research progress of DAAs in CHC management, showing the possibility of the elimination of HCV infection by DAAs.DAAs have not been widely clinically used due to high medication costs, but can be used as a supplement for the combination therapy of pegylated interferon and ribavirin.

Objective To compare the clinical features of space infections in the oral maxillofacial region between patients with diabetes mellitus and patients without diabetes.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 61 patients diagnosed with space infections in the oral maxillofacial region and receiving treatment at the department of oral and The 4nd Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between 2013 and 2016.The patients were divided into 2 groups:diabetic group (n =28) and non-diabetic group (n =33).The study variables were demography,etiology,clinical and laboratory examinations (bacteriology,admission blood glucose level,admission white blood cell count and percent of neutrophil on admission).The outcome was compared.The length of hospital stay and complications were also compared.Statistical analyses of the results between groups were performed using the t test and chi square test.Results For oral and maxillofacial space infection,there was no statistically significant difference in gender between the diabetic group and (28 cases) and non diabetes group (33 cases) (x 2 test,P=0.5929);while there were statistically significant differences between two groups in age (t test,P<0.001) and in the number of infection space (t test,P<0.001);there was no significant difference between the two groups in the sources of infection (x 2,P>0.05);The main source of infection was odontogenic,followed by adenogenous.There were statistically significant differences between two groups in blood glucose concentration at admission (t test,P<0.001) and in the hospitalization time and complications (t test and x 2 test P<0.05),while no statistically significant differences in the white blood cells count and neutrophil count (t test,P>0.05).Compared with the non diabetic group,for patients in the diabetic group,the age of onset was older,the involvd gaps were more,the blood glucose concentration was higher on admission,the length of stay was longer,complications were more likely to occur,and the consequences were more serious.Conclusion Compared with non diabetes group,space infection in oral and maxillofacial region is more serious and the hospital stay is longer and has more complications in diabetic patients which should be paid higher attention to.
