In recent years, ultrasonographic ultrasonographic ultrasonographic resolution level of gastrointestinal anatomy has been improved significantly due to perfection of ultrasonic instrument and development of ultrasound diagnostic technology. Currently, ultrasonographic ultrasonographic ultrasonography plays an effective role of evaluation of children's gastrointestinal obstruction diseases, especially congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, gastroesophageal reflux, malrotation, midgut volvulus, superior mesenteric artery syndrome,duplication, intussusception, meconium peritonitis, meconium ileus, and congenital giant colon. The clinical manifestation and the ultrasonographic feature of all these diseases mentioned above are reviewed in this paper.

Objective To investigate the influence of HAp-CS composite microsphere scaffold on the in vitro cell behaviors of mesenchymal cells and evaluate its potential application for bone tissue engineering.Methods Nano-hydroxyap-atite (HAp)and chitosan (CS)composites solution were assembled into microsphere scaffold through microfluidic and observed by inverted microscope.Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were co-cultured in vitro with the microspheres for calculating the adhesion rate for the first 6h.Proliferation rate was measured by cell counting in the next 1,3,6,9 d,respectively,and GraphPad Prism 6 software was used for statistical analysis.The morphology of BMSCs on the surface of HAp-CS composite microsphere was observed by scanning electron micros-copy (SEM)and confocal scanning microscopy.The cells and HAp-CS microspheres were filled into a disc mold and co-cultured for 14 ~21 d to observe the morphology.Results HAp-CS microspheres were observed to be round and with uniform size by microscope.The adhesion rate of BMSCs reached 80% after cultured for 6 h,and proliferation rate reached the highest value when cultured for 6 d.SEM observations showed that BMSCs adhered compactly to the surface of the microspheres,and the microspheres could be connected together through BMSCs.Af-ter co-culturing BMSCs with microspheres for 14 ~21 d,a complete tissue constructs could be formed.Conclusion HAp-CS microspheres are proved to be good scaffolds for promoting BMSCs adhesion and proliferation.Large a-mount of extracellular matrix can be formed to connect microspheres after co-cultured for a certain time,which paves the way for HAp-CS microspheres to be applied for bone regeneration in animal experiments.

Objective To explore the correlation of β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) polymorphisms (Arg16Gly) with early onset Myasthenia Gravis (MG). Methods Forty-eight with age less than 40 years at disease onset were divided into three groups:normal thymus (13 cases), thymic hyperplasia (22 cases) and thymoma (7 cases) groups according to the thymus histology. These patients were further divided into different subgroups including female (31 cases) and male groups (17 cases) based on the gender, OMG (29 cases) and GMG (19 cases) groups according to the symptom of disease onset and groups associated with (10 cases) or without (33cases) other autoimmune diseases Or with unknown causes (5 cases). The genotypes ofβ2-AR in 48 early onset MG were determined by gene sequencing. Results Arg/Arg was more common in early MG patient with normal thymus ( 53.8%)and thymic hyperplasia(54.6%)whereas Arg/Gly was more common in thymus group(71.4%). The difference in distribution of the genotypes between the three groups was not statis?tically significant (χ2=5.657,P=0.226). Arg/Arg was more common in early female MG patient (58.1%) and Arg/Gly was more common in male MG patients (58.8%). The difference in distribution of the genotypes between the two groups was
statistically significant (χ2=6.064,P=0.048). Arg/Arg was more common in early OMG patient (48.3%). Arg/Arg(42.1%) and Arg/Gly(47.4%) were equal common in GMG patients. The difference in distribution of the genotypes between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=1.623,P=0.444). Arg/Arg was more common in early MG patient associated with other autoimmune diseases (80.0%). Arg/Gly was more common in MG patients without other autoimmune diseases (39.4%). The difference in distribution of the genotypes between the three groups was statistically significant (χ2=6.394, P=0.041). Conclusionβ2-AR gene polymorphism in position 16 is associated with gender and other autoimmune diseas?es in patients with early onset of MG.

Objective To determine the influence of total glucosides of paeony (TGP) on bone density, protein level of skeletal muscle and relative cytokine of osteoporotic rats. Methods Six-month-old SD rats were shamed as control (8 rats) or were ovariectomized (24 rats). The ovariectomized (16 rats) +TGP low dose and high dose group were treated with 50 mg/(kg?d) TGP and 150 mg/(kg?d) TGP respectively for 12 weeks. After the animals were sacrificed, IL-6, TNF-?, IGF-1, TGF-? in serum, protein level of skeletal muscle in right quadriceps femoris, and bone density of right femur and lumbar vertebra were determined. Results Compared with the ovariectomized group, the bone density and the protein level of skeletal muscle in TGP group increased significantly from the baseline (P

Objective The effects of AM fungi on the growth of Bupleurum chinense were investigated by inoculation Glomus mosseae, G. caledonium, and the two fungal mixture under different phosphorus levels. Methods Pot culture and experimental analyses were carried out. Results Mycorrhizal infection rate could be promoted by inoculation and increased phosphorus content of plant and root dry weight; the content of chlorophyll, carotenoids, and soluble sugar of leaf was higher than that of controlled plant, and the soluble sugar content of plant root by inoculation the two fungal mixtures were lower than that of controlled plant. The inoculation effect of AM fungi was closed related to AM fungal species and phosphorus applied levels, which was the best under 0.1—0.3 g/kg P_2O_5 soil. Conclusion The growth of host plant and using rate of phosphorus fertilizer can be promoted by inoculation of AM fungi.
