Objective To investigate the prenatal diagnosis, perinatal management and standardized treatment protocol for neonates with duodenal obstruction. Methods A network in prenatal diagnosis, perinatal management and monitoring of congenital malformation was founded between Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and the Capital Institute of Pediatrics. Forty-four fetuses were prenatally diagnosed as duodenal obstructions by this network from July,2001 to September, 2010. The data of prenatal diagnosis, treatment after birth and prognosis were analyzed. Results Among 44 patients diagnosed as fetal duodenal obstruction by prenatal ultrasonography, three cases underwent induced abortion, three were in pregnancy, 14 were lost during follow-up and 24 were confirmed by surgical treatments after birth. Within 24 neonates underwent surgery, 21 showed double-bubble sign and 20 combined with polyhydroamnios in prenatal ultrasonography. Twenty-four neonates underwent upright abdominal plain film examination,22 showed double-bubble sign, 1 showed single-bubble sign and 1 showed triple-bubble sign,respectively. Nineteen neonates underwent upper gastroenterography which showed distention of stomach and duodenum, increased stomach peristalsis and an obstacle of duodenum emptying. Within 23 neonates underwent ultrasonographic studies, 10 showed distention and increased peristalsis of duodenum. Following surgical procedures were performed: diamond shape anastomosis was completed in 19 cases with annular pancreas; duodenal vertical resection, across suture and excision of the membrane was done in four cases with duodenum membranate stenosis; end-to-back anastomosis was taken in one case with duodenal separate atresia; Ladd's procedure was applied in 11 cases associated with malrotation. All patients were cured. Conclusions Standardized perinatal management and earlier intervention should be offered to newborns with duodenal obstruction to achieve better effects.

Objective To evaluate the effect of high-level spinal cord injury (SCI) on the myocardial energy metabolism in rats.Methods Sixty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=30 each) using a random number table:sham operation (group S) and SCI group.SCI was induced in anesthetized rats by dropping a 10 g weight onto C7 spinal cord from 5 cm height falling freely inside a vertical hollow glass tube.At 6,12,24,48 and 72 h after SCI,6 rats in each group were chosen and arterial blood samples were taken for measurement of serum creatine kinase (CK) and creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) activities.The rats were then sacrificed and myocardial specimens were obtained for examination of myocardial ultrastructure and for determination of ATP weight ratio,levels of Na+-K+-ATPase,Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase,non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and lactic acid (LD),and expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) mRNA and protein (using fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blot).Results Compared with group S,the serum CK and CK-MB activities were significantly increased,the ATP weight ratio,activities of Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and levels of NEFA and LD were decreased,and the expression of PPAR-α mRNA and protein was down-regulated in SCI group.No pathological changes of myocardium were found in group S,and the pathological changes of myocardium were obvious in SCI group.Conclusion High-level SCI can lead to decrease in the myocardial energy metabolism in rats,and down-regulated expression of PPARα is involved in the mechanism.

Objective:To explore the effects of different approaches for second-trimester multifetal pregnancy reduction on pregnancy outcome in women with dichorionic triamniotic (DCTA) triplet.Methods:A retrospective study was performed on 51 women with DCTA triplet pregnancies who were referred to Guangdong Women and Children Hospital for second-trimester multifetal pregnancy reduction from January 2014 to January 2020. All participants were divided into either preventive group ( n=39) or treatment group ( n=12) according to the indication for multifetal pregnancy reduction, and they were further allocated to three subgroups based on different reduction methods, which were reduction to dichorionic twin by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) (RFA subgroup), reduction to monochorionic singleton (KCl-singleton subgroup) or monochorionic twin (KCl-twin subgroup) by cardiac injection of potassium chloride. Pregnancy loss rate, neonatal birth weight, gestational age at delivery, incidence of intrauterine death, and neonatal death were compared and analyzed between different groups using t-test, analysis of variance, Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and Bonferroni correction. Results:(1) The mean gestational week at operation in the treatment group was significantly later than that in the preventive group [(18.5±3.1) vs (15.0±2.3) weeks, t=-4.209, P<0.001]. In the preventive group, the mean gestational week at operation in the RFA subgroup was later than the KCl-singleton and KCl-twin subgroup[(17.2±1.6) vs (13.8±1.5) and (12.7±1.0) weeks, t=6.630 and 3.875, respectively, both P<0.05]. (2) The postoperative pregnancy loss rate in the preventive group was decreased compared with the treatment group [10.3%(4/39) vs 5/12, Fisher's exact test, P<0.05], and the live birth ratio was increased [ 85.7%(48/56) vs 10/18, χ2=5.640, P=0.018]. No live birth infants with birth weight <1 500 g was reported in the KCl-singleton subgroup in preventive group, and the statistical significance was observed in the intra-group differences ( P<0.05) rather than the pairwise comparison differences in the preventive group. For the proportion of live births, there was a statistically significant difference in the intra-group comparison in the treatment group, which was higher in the RFA subgroup than that in the KCl-twin subgroup (6/6 vs 1/6, P=0.045). No significant difference was revealed among pregnancy loss rate, gestational weeks at delivery, the mean birth weight, premature delivery <32 gestational weeks, and full-term birth rate among three different approaches within the two groups. (3) No monochorionic twin complications or perinatal death occurred in any RFA or KCl-singleton subgroups in the two groups. In the KCl-twin subgroups including five cases with ten fetuses, including three live birth, four miscarriage, three intrauterine death occured, while no neonatal death was reported. One case with selective fetal uterine growth restriction in the preventive group delivered two live births, and one case with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome in the treatment group had intrauterine death in one fetus and one survival neonate. Conclusions:The pregnancy outcome of multifetal pregnancy reduction to dichorionic diamniotic twins by RFA or reduction to singleton by cardiac injection of potassium chloride are comparative in women with DCTA triplet, regardless of whether it is a preventive or therapeutic reduction.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of doxazosin(DOX) and metoprolol( MET) on vascular remodeling in rats with abdominal aorta coarctation (AAC). METHODS An animal model was established by AAC. Two weeks later, the rats were treated with DOX (10 mg.kg-1 per day) or MET (20 mg.kg-1 per day) for six weeks. Blood pressure was measured using carotid artery intubation with a MP150 polygraph. The media thickness, wall cross-sectional area and thickness / internal diameter ratio were calculated by morphometry. Vascular fibrosis was evaluated by Masson′s trichrome staining. The collagen and fibronectin expression in vascules was measured by Western blotting. RESULTS Compared with the sham group 〔(17.6±0.5)kPa〕, the mean arterial blood pressure in the model group〔(23.3±0.7)kPa〕 was significantly increased(P<0.05), but was lowered by DOX 〔(20.5±0.7)kPa〕 and MET 〔(19.0±0.4) kPa〕 (P<0.05). Moreover, HE staining showed that tunica media thickness, artery vessel area and thickness / inner diameter in the model group were increased by 39.5%, 46.4% and 27.0%(P<0.05), respectively. The tunica media thickness was decreased by 16.0% and 26.1%( P<0.05), respectively, the artery vessel area by 22.8% and 26.1%(P<0.05), respectively, and the thick-ness / inner diameter by 17.0% and 26.0%( P<0.05) when the rats were treated with DOX and MET. Masson staining showed that the collagen accumulation in vascules increased, suggesting that AAC induced fibrosis. Meanwhile, vascular fibrosis induced by AAC was also reduced by MET or DOX. Western blotting also proved that the increase of collagen and fibronectin induced by AAC could be attenuated by DOX and MET(P<0.05). CONCLUSION DOX and MET are effective in suppressing the role of norepi-nephrine in vassels, which can attenuate AAC-induced vassels remodeling by preventing the binding between norepinephrine and adrenoceptors.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of multiple pregnancies. Methods: In this retrospective study, 84 cases (total 174 fetuses) of complex monochorionic pregnancies treated with RFA for selective fetal reduction were analyzed. All cases were managed in the Guangdong Women and Children Hospital from January 2015 to January 2018. Indications for offering RFA, details of the procedure and pregnancy outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: (1)The rate of miscarriage and fetal intrauterine death was 21% (18/84), termination of pregnancy because of fetal malformation or oligohydramnion occurred in 10% (8/84) of cases. Total live birth rate was 69% (58/84) and the gestation age at delivery was (35.0±3.0) weeks. (2) The live birth rate of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence (TRAPS) was the lowest (6/11), followed by twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS; 66%, 27/41), structural or genetic abnormalities of one fetus in monochorionic twin pregnancy (10/14), triplet pregnancy reduction (4/6) and selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) (11/12). (3) The live birth rate was 67% (20/30) in stage Ⅲ of TTTS and 7/11 in the stage Ⅳ of TTTS (P>0.05). The average gestational age was (33.6±3.0) weeks in stage Ⅲ of TTTS compared with (36.5±2.4) weeks in the stage Ⅳof TTTS (P<0.05). Conclusions RFA appears to be a reliable option for selective fetal reduction in monochorionic multiple pregnancies. The indication of RFA is an influencing factor on its pregnancy outcomes. Type Ⅱand type Ⅲ sIUGR may choose this technique as a priority. Compared with stage Ⅲ of TTTS, the live birth rate and the gestation age at delivery in stage Ⅳ of TTTS, there are no significant differences.

As one of the important factors to realize the rational allocation of resources and the establishment of interpersonal network, the concept and theory of social capital have been developing continuously in the global health service system, which has attracted the attention of nursing managers at home and abroad. This paper introduces the theory of social capital and its development in the field of nursing, summarizes the measurement tools of social capital of medical staff, analyzes and summarizes the application of social capital theory in nurse leadership, nursing risk management, nursing talent team construction, nurse job satisfaction, nurse retention intention and other aspects and points out the shortcomings and development trends of the current research in this field. It is suggested to construct and develop the theoretical framework and measurement tools of social capital suitable for China's nursing industry, increase the research on the application effect of social capital theory in human resource management, risk management and quality management in nursing management and provide effective management methods for nursing managers, so as to provide reference for improving the level of nurses' social capital and improving the quality of nursing service.

Objective To compare the community nursing employment intention of nursing students between Guangzhou and Macau, so as to provide references for the teaching reform of community nursing education for undergraduates. Methods From June to July 2017, a questionnaire investigation on community nursing employment intention of nursing students was conducted in 136 nursing undergraduates of Grade 2014 in Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and 33 nursing undergraduates of Grade 2014 in Kiang Wu Nursing College of Macau. Results 52.9% of the nursing undergraduates in Guangzhou were willing to work as a community nurse because of "High degree of freedom of community nursing and no night shift", while 45.5% of the students in Macau would like to be engaged in community nursing because of "Conforming to personal character and interest". There was significant difference in the expectation of individual career development between the students in the two areas (χ2=10.708, P<0.05). The percentage of nursing undergraduates who were willing to engage in community nursing work in Guangzhou and Macau was 71.3% and 75.8% respectively. Conclusions Compared with Macau, the nursing undergraduates in Guangzhou have more negative community nursing employment intention, whose vocational values are not mature, and they are easily affected by their parents when making employment decisions. The teaching reform of undergraduate community nursing education should focus on the school-hospital-community "trinity" practice teaching mode establishment, carrying out the community curriculum and practice as soon as possible, reforming the practice teaching methods, increasing the construction of practice bases in community, and strengthening the construction of community nursing faculty.
