1.Progress in diagnosis and treatment of children with neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(7):564-569
Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus(NPSLE)of children is a serious complication of children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),and the incidence is even up to 95 %.The pathogenic pathogenesis of NPSLE maybe result from participation of many factors including the blood-brain barrier damage,blood clots,neuroendocrine disorders,autoantibody production and inflammatory mediators.Its clinical manifestations are complexity and diversity.Headache,epilepsy,mental disorders are comom in children with NPSLE.There is no unified diagnosis for NPSLE,which must be evaluated by the general methods including immunoserological testing,cerebrospinal fluid testing,neuroimaging and neuropsychological assessments.The management of patients with NPSLE consists of immunosuppressive,biotherapy and symptomatic therapies.Early diagnosis and standard treatment may improve the prognosis of children with NPSLE.

ObjectiveTo investigate effects of the arterial blood collection from radial artery,brachial artery,femoral artery and orsalis pedis artery for gas analysis of infants.Methods Three hundred and fifty two infants receiving blood collection were divided into four groups radial artery (n=92),brachial artery (n=94),femoral artery (n=73) and dorsal artery (n=53).Comparisons were done between them in terms of one-time success rate of puncturing and rate of complications from puncturing.Result The radial artery group had lowest rates of hematoma and mistaken puncturing into veins (P<0.05) and higher rate of one-time successful puncturing (P<0.001).Conclusion The radial artery is the first choice for infants undergoing arterial puncturing.

Objective To study the vascular endothelium growth factor(VEGF) antisense oligonucleotide(ASON) Cinobufotalin in enhancing apoptosis induced by human chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cell line.Methods The synthesis of VEGF ASON was transfected into the K562 cells;Cinobufotalin of four concentrations(1,3,5 and 7mg/L) acted on the K562 cell line for 24h,48h and 72h.Western blot was used to detect VEGF protein expression,while in situ apoptosis(TUNEL) and flow cytometry method(FCM method) were employed to detect the apoptosis.Results The different doses of Cinobufotalin all inhibited K562 cell line in time-and dose-dependent manners.K562 cell line transfected by VEGF ASON had a more pronounced induction of apoptosis.Conclusion The in vitro Cinobufotalin at a certain range of concentration can induce apoptosis in K562 cell line,and VEGF ASON enhances Cinobufotalin's effect in inducing apoptosis of K562 cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of health education on diet and behaviors in stegmonth. Methods Three hundred and forty three primiparas were divided into the experiment and control group.The 163 primiparas in the experiment group took the courses in the pregnant women’s school and 180 primiparas in the control group did not.The differences of diet and daily behaviors in stegmonth were compared between the two groups.Results There were statistically significant differences in the rate of diet,health behaviors,breast feeding between the two groups(P<0.01).Conclusion The health education for the pregnant woman can enhance their sense of self care,change their wrong behaviors,and improve the rate of breast feeding.

To explore the effect of the co-photo-immobilization of Recombinant Human Interferon-r (IFN-gamma) and Recombinant Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-alpha) on the Hela cell cultivated in vitro. Co-immobilize the photoactive IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha on the polystyrene membrane; Cultivate the Hela cell on the cell culture polystyrene plate surface and set up the cultivation of the photo-immobilization IFN-gamma+TNF-alpha, Photo-immobilization IFN-gamma, nature (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma+TNF-alpha). After 48 hours, the inhibition effect against Hela cells was studied in vitro by SEM and flow cytometry. It showed that the co-immobilization IFN-gamma+TNF-alpha has a more obvious inhibition effect on the Hela cell. And IFN-gamma can cooperate with TNF-alpha obviously.

Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2013;27(14):757-759
OBJECTIVE:
To explore the effect of surgical treatment for compound fracture of nasal bone and frontal process of maxilla with endoscopy and small local incision.
METHOD:
Twenty-two cases with compound fracture of nasal bone and frontal process of maxilla were treated with surgery, and the postoperative effect were analysed.
RESULT:
Twenty-two cases healed well.
CONCLUSION
CT scan and 3D reconstruction before operation can help the diagnosis. Corresponding incision and assisted endoscopy can make good surgical field and achieve surgical success. Rigid internal fixation is also the key for surgical success.

OBJECTIVETo assess whether the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene 4G/5G polymorphism is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) in Chinese patients.
METHODSPAI-1 gene 4G /5G polymorphism was analyzed in normal group (121 individuals) and CHD group (126 cases) by a combination of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP).
RESULTSThe 4G allele and 4G/4G genotype frequencies of PAI-1 gene (0.60 and 0.397) for CHD patients were higher than those (0.48 and 0.190) for healthy controls(chi-square=7.63 P<0.01; chi-square=12.67, P<0.01). The odds ratios(OR) for CHD in subjects with the 5G/5G (and 4G/5G) genotypes were 2.54 (95% CI 1.22-5.27, P<0.05) and 1.28(95% CI 1.45-2.38, P>0.05), respectively.
CONCLUSIONThese results suggest that the PAI-1 4G/4G genotype is associated with an increased risk for CHD in Chinese patients. The subjects with the 4G/4G genotype had a higher prevalence of CHD, compared to those with the 5G/5G PAI-1 genotype.

OBJECTIVE To study the extraction technology of Sophora flavescens-Phellodendron chinense drug pair and provide a reference for the development of new drugs for the treatment of anorectal diseases. METHODS Using the contents of total alkaloids of S. flavescens (matrine+oxymatrine), berberine hydrochloride and total flavonoid, and extract yield as evaluation indicators, analytic hierarchy process-entropy weight method was used to calculate the weight coefficient of each indicator, and was combined with Box-Behnken design-response surface method to study the extraction technology of S. flavescens-P. chinense drug pair and verify it. RESULTS The optimal extraction technology of S. flavescens-P. chinense drug pair was immersed in 12-fold amount of 58% ethanol for 30 minutes and extracted twice, each time for 120 minutes. The relative error between the verification experimental results and the predicted value was 1.88%. CONCLUSIONS The obtained extraction technology is stable and feasible and can provide reference for the application of S. flavescens-P. chinense drug pair and development of new drugs.
