Two p-phenylenediamine (p-PD)-imprinted polymers, P (MAA) and P (AA), were synthesized using methacrylic acid (MAA) and acrylamide(AA) as functional monomer, respectively, in order to prepare molecular recognition material with high selectivity for p-PD and explore the feasibility of methods such as molecular spectrometry and computational approach of quantum chemistry for the selection of functional mono mer with high imprinting efficiency.The molecular recognition properties of the imprinted polymers were evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography.The results indicated that P(AA) exhibited no imprint ing effect for p-PD, while P(MAA) can bind p-PD selectively(k' =3.57), which showed remarkable imprint ing effect (IF=2.95), and p-PD and its analogues o-phenylenediamine and p-aminobenzoic acid can almost realize baseline separation on P (MAA) column in the mobile phase of methanol.Furthermore, we made a comparative study on the interaction of p-PD with MAA and AA by spectroscopic techniques such as UV and fluorometry as well as HF/6-31G~* computational approach.The results demonstrated that the complex of p-PD-MAA was more stable than that of p-PD-AA, which can give a good explanation for the molecular recog nition properties of P (MAA) and P (AA).The study indicated that both molecular spectrometry (UV and fluorometry)and computational approach of quantum chemistry can be employed as efficient means for the selection of efficient functional monomer.The results showed that fluorometry is sensitive and convenient for the choice of functional monomer if the template molecule is fluorescent.

Objective To observe the expression of HER-2 and TOPO-Ⅱα in ovarian epithelial cancer,analyze the correlation between their expression and provide theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis,prognosis and treatment. Methods Expression levels of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱα in 10 normal ovarian tissues,20 benign tumors and 58 cases of ovarian epithelial cancers were detected by immunohistochemical method, and their correlations with pathological features were analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of HER-2 in normal ovarian and benign tumor tissues were significantly lower than ovarian epithelial cancers respectively ( 10. 0% , 15.0% VS 46. 6% ;P < 0. 05 ). The positive expression rate of TOPO- Ⅱα in ovarian epithelial cancers was significantly higher than normal and benign epithelial ovarian tumor tissue (53.4% vs 10. 0%, and 15.0%,Ps < 0. 05 ), but we did not find significant difference in the comparison between normal and benign epithelial ovarian tumor tissue ( Ps > 0. 05 ). The expression of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱα were significantly correlated with clinical stages, histological differentiation of tumor cells (Ps < 0. 05 ) ,but there were no correlations between the age or histological type. In ovarian cancer tissues, a positive correlation between the expression of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱα was observed ( r = 0. 324, P < 0. 05 ) . Conclusion The overexpression of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱαplay an important role in ovarian carcinogenesis and development. The expression of HER-2 is positively correlated with TOPO- Ⅱα in ovarian epithelial cancers. Coexpression of the two moleculars may be involved in the development and progression of ovarian epithelial cancer, which should be further studied.

BACKGROUND: To repair bone defect, histocompatibility, growing characteristics, biodegradation and repairing mechanism of nanometer need to be further studied in clinic. OBJECTIVE: To observe the growing characteristics and histocompatibility of nano-hydroxyapatite (Nano-HA) for repairing jaw defect of rabbits.DESIGN: Randomized grouping animal study.SETTING: Beijing Jishuitan Hospital and Stomatology College of Jiamusi University.MATERIALS: A total of 24 New Zealand rabbits, either gender, weighing 2.5-3.5 kg, were provided by Animal Experimental Center of Jiamusi University. The animal experiment had got confirmed consent from local ethic committee. Nano-HA was provided by Material Engineering College of Jiamusi University and dealt with routine hyperthermia/hypertension sterilization. In addition, hydroxyapatite was provided by Wuhan Industry University, and the diameter was 1.0-2.0 μm.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Experimental Animal Center of Jiamusi University from November 2001 to May 2006. All rabbits were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 12 in each group. Bone defect in the diameter of 1.0 cm was produced on body of mandible. Nano-HA was used to repair the bone defect of rabbits in the experimental group, while hydroxyapatite was used to repair the bone defect of rabbits in the control group. At 1, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after operation, all rabbits were sacrificed. In addition, medical imaging analysis system was used to analyze generative quantity of tissue in the two groups; meanwhile, histological quality and quantity were also analyzed so as to observe histocompatibility and newborn osteogenesis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Histocompatibility and newborn osteogenesis.RESULTS: With the time passing by, the amount of repairing materials was decreased because of the combination with newborn tissue into bone in bone defect-repaired region in the experimental group. When it was closed to normal bone, the amount was stable. However, bony callus was not able to grow in materials in the control group. Results of correlation analysis demonstrated that materials were negatively straight-line correlation with newborn bone (r = -0.912 0, P < 0.01). During the repairing procedure of bone defect, newborn bone was closely correlative with Nano-HA; while, with the increase of newborn bone, the amount of repairing materials was decreased because of the combination with newborn tissue into bone.CONCLUSION: Nano-HA can combine with newborn bone tissue so as to rapidly generate bone, while it has an excellent biocompatibility.

Objective To investigate the incidence and clinical presentation of breast milk transmitted cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection among preterm infants with birth weight≤1500 g.Methods Preterm infants enrolled in this study met the following inclusion criteria: birth weight≤1500 g, fed with CMV-positive breast milk and admitted into Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Children's Hospital of Fudan University within 72 hours after birth from October 2015 to July 2016. And those with congenital digestive tract malformation or congenital CMV infection were excluded. Breast milk and infants' urine samples were regularly screened for CMV DNA by fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Symptoms and laboratory findings in infants with CMV infection transmitted via breast milk were documented and analyzed. Differences in relevant parameters were analyzed usingChi-square test, Fisher's exact test,t test or Mann-WhitneyU test where appropriately.Results Sixty preterm infants breastfed with CMV DAN-positive milk were recruited. Among them, 19 (31.7%) developed breast milk-acquired CMV infection as their urine samples were positive for CMV DNA, while the others were negative for CMV DNA (infected group:n=19; non-infected group:n=41). The average CMV copies in breast milk, gestational age and birth weight of the infected group were all significantly higher than those of the non-infected group [3.76 (3.18-4.50) vs 3.47 (3.00-4.88) Log10 copies/ml,Z=-2.042;(30.4±2.1) vs (28.4±2.3) weeks,t=3.175; 1290 (750-1500) vs 1110 (575-1480) g,Z=-2.837; all P<0.05). Fewer infants in the infected group than in the non-infected group received blood transfusion [5/19 vs 56.1%(23/41),χ2=4.627,P<0.05]. Ages of the infants with CMV infection ranged from 26 to 164 days (median age of 92 days). Six out of the 19 infants had clinical symptoms concurrent with viral excretion in urine and the ages of these symptomatic infants of infection were earlier than those of the asymptomatic ones without significance [(72±34) vs (97±28) days,t=-1.710,P>0.05]. Four infants (21.1%, 4/19) had severe organ damage and/or positive IgM antibodies to CMV in serum, and were treated with antiviral therapy. Two had mild symptoms and were not given antiviral therapy. All of the six symptomatic infants were followed-up for one to six months, during which time the complete blood cell count and results of biochemical test and fundus examination were back to normal.Conclusions The incidence of breast milk-acquired CMV infection among preterm infants with birth weight≤ 1500 g was 31.7%, and no severe symptoms were reported in this study.

Objective Even after successful surgical repair,patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) are at high risk of long-term morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular events,which is probably related to persistent arterial disfunction during long-terr follow-up after operation,The aim of the study was to explore the alterations of vascular structure and function in children with successfully repaired CoA in the short-and mid-term follow-up.Methods A cohort of 20 children who underwent CoA repair between January 2010 and October 2010 in Guangzhou women and children's Medical Center was studied.There were 14 males and 6 females in CoA group,which comprised 6 patients with isolated CoA,14 patients with CoA associated with intracardia anomalies,whose median age of operation was 4 months (rang from lmonth to 10.0 years).And 20 patients with isolated ventricular septal defect (VSD) were included as VSD group during the same time,with 12 males and 8 females,whose median age of operation was 5 months (rang from 1 month to 12.0 years).Resting blood pressure,flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery,carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) were compared in CoA group and VSD group,including preoperative media data and follow-up of 1 month,6 months and 1 year.In addition,as comparison to the operation group,20 health children with normal echocardiographic findings,whose median age was 5 months (rang from 3 month to 10.0 years),were selected as health group for the 1-year following up.None of them had obesity,hyperlipidemia,diabetes mellitus,metabolic diseases or systemic inflammatory disease.Results As a result of the datas before operation and those I month,6 months and 1 year after operation,all children were normotensive at rest.In the same period,Carotid IMT in CoA group[(0.47 ± 0.10)mm,(0.49 ±0.10) mm,(0.57 ±0.07)mm,(0.61 ± 0.07) mm]was significantly thicker than that in VSD group[(0.41 ±0.11) mm,(0.43 ±0.11)mm,(0.51 ±0.08) mm,(0.55 ±0.08) mm](P<0.05) and health group[(0.40 ±0.09) mm,(0.42 ±0.11)mm,(0.50 ±0.08) mm,(0.57 ±0.08) mm](P <0.05),Brachial artery FMI in children with CoA[(5.4,6 ±1.51)%,(5.71 ±1.88)%,(5.42±1.69)%,(5.27±1.02)%]was significantly lower than that in the VSD control group[(6.69±1.45) %,(6.66±1.21)%,(6.81 ±1.03)%,(6.43±1.34)%](P<0.05) and health group[(6.59 ±1.84)%,(6.84±1.41)%,(6.91 ±1.31)%,(6.56±1.62)%](P<0.05).Significant difference could not be found in neither the IMT nor the FMI between the VSI control group and health group in 4 period respectively,P > 0.05.Conclusion Children after successful coarctation repair have abnomal structural and functional properties of the aorta above the place of coarctation even their blood pressure at rest is normal.These results confirm that the alterations in mechanical properties of carotid arteries as well as the generalized endothelial dysfunction in children with coarctation of the aorta are persistent,which can not be prevented or reversed by surgical repair,and which may partly explain the high incidence of cardiovascular disease observed in their adulthood and reduced life expectancy,furtherly supporting the claim that coartation of the aorta is a systemic vascular disorder which needs long-term follow-up of vascular function.

Objective To evaluate the endothelium-dependent vasodilation in children after repair for coarctation of aota (CoA). Methods A group of 20 children having undergone CoA repair between January 2010 and October 2010 in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center were include in the study , including 12 infants aged less than 6 months and 8 ones aged more than 6 months. Another 20 healthy children were enrolled during the same period as controls. All the subjects underwent monitoring of resting blood pressure and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery in 4-year follow-up. Results There were no resting hypertension in all subjects , but FMD in the CoA group was higher than in the control group and so it was with the early surgery group and non early surgery group. Conclusion The surgical repair for coarctation of aorta could not cure the vascular function impairment satisfactorily , neither is the early surgery effective in alleviating the injuries in vascular endothelia.

Objective:To explore the differences on clinical characteristics, concomitant diseases and treatment status between psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and provide clues for the early diagnosis and treatment of PsA.Methods:Data were collected by in-person interview of 225 patients with psoriasis and 299 patients with PSA who visited the department of rheumatology and Immunology and Department of Dermatology in People′s Hospital of Peking University from November 2020 to May 2021. After informed consent, the questionnaire was completed on site. The differences of clinical characteristics, concomitant diseases, mental health evaluation and treatment status between patients with arthritis (PsA) and patients with psoriasiswere analyzed and compared. Enumeration data were described by frequency. Chi square test was used to compare categorical variables. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors. P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Dactylitis [ OR(95% CI)=8.439(4.677,15.226), P<0.001], hip pain [ OR(95% CI)=3.442(1.829,6.480), P<0.001], heel pain [ OR(95% CI)=2.621(1.652,4.157), P<0.001] and low back pain [ OR(95% CI)=1.924(1.156,3.203), P=0.012] may be closely related to the progression of PsA ( P<0.05). The three most common concomitant diseases of patients with PsA and psoriasis both were overweight [43.1%(129/299)、29.3%(66/225)], fatty liver [(28.4%(85/299)、23.1%(52/225)]and hypertension[24.1%(72/299、13.3%(30/225)]. The proportion of osteoporosis in PsA group at the age of 30-39 and 40-49 years old was significantly higher than those in psoriasis group (30-39 years old:12.5%(10/80) vs 1.5%(1/65), χ2=6.14, P=0.013; 40~49 years old: 19.2%(15/78) vs 2.0%(1/51), χ2=8.46, P=0.004]. The proportion of hypertension in PsA group was also higher than that in psoriasis group at the age of 40~49 years old[7.0% (21/78) vs 2.7%(6/51), χ2=4.99, P=0.026)]. And the proportion of fatty liver in PsA group was also higher than that in psoriasis group at the age ≥60 years old [(46.0%(23/50) vs 29.1(7/24), χ2=4.99, P=0.025)]. Among 299 PsA patients, 47.1%(141/299) had anxiety tendency, 45.2%(135/299) had sleep disorder and 41.8%(125/299) had depression tendency. Among 225 psoriasis patients, 44.4%(100/225) had anxiety tendency, 40%(90/225) had sleep disorder and 36.9%(83/225) had depression tendency, there was no significant difference in above-mentioned situations between the PsA and psoriasis patients ( P>0.05). Conclusion:More attention should be paid to the management of concomitant diseases and psychological intervention in patients with PsA. When psoriasis patients occur with heel pain, dactylitis, low back pain and hip pain, the risk of development into PsA should be considered.

Objective:To build a performance appraisal system for full-time researchers in specialized children′s hospitals, so as to mobilize their enthusiasm and improve their efficiency of scientific and technological output.Methods:Based on structure-process-result model, the library of indexes was initialized by such means as literature review and talent performance appraisal management experiences. From November 2020 to March 2021, Delphi method was adopted to finalize the appraisal indexes and weight of each index, while the quantifiable standards of the indexes were formulated by brainstorming, hence establishing the performance appraisal model index system for these researchers. Using both the new model and the original performance appraisal system of the hospital respectively, five full-time research staffs of research-oriented children′s hospital were selected for an empirical research on performance appraisal.Results:Fifteen experts carried out two rounds of Delphi research, finalizing a performance appraisal model for these researchers. The model comprises 3 level-1 indexes, 8 level-2 indexes and 23 level-3 indexes. Among them, the weight of scientific research output, scientific research process and scientific research investment of level-1 indexes were 0.507, 0.267 and 0.226, respectively. Empirical research showed that compared with the original appraisal indexes, the results of the new performance appraisal model were more targeted, enabling the research team to identify setbacks.Conclusions:The indexes set in the model built in this study prove more scientific, objective, and more reasonable in weight assignment. Such indexes can positively motivate and encourage the researchers, promoting the clinical-basic research integration, as well as the disciplinary development and research talent cultivation of the hospital.
