Objective To investigate the relationship between early brain menifestation such as white matter damage and ventriculomegaly detected by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and adverse neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants.Methods From March 15,2007 to April 12,2011,122 preterm infants accepted MRI examination 8-14 days after birth in Chinese People's Liberation Army 202 Hospital.Totally,115 preterm infants were followed up at 12 months old and mental development index(MDI) and psychomotor development index (PDI) score were measured.MDI<70 was as mental dysfunction,-84 as borderline dysfunction and-114 as normal; PDI<70 was as psychomotor dysfunction,-84 as borderline dysfunction and-114 as normal.The relationship between clinical characteristics of preterm infants,MRI abnormalities and neurodevelopmental outcome were analyzed by analysis of variance,LSD and Kruskal-Wallis H test.Results The 122 premature infants included 69 males and 53 females with the median gestational age of 32 weeks(28-36 weeks)and the median birth weight of 2050 g (1270-3110 g).In 24 premature infants with mentaldysfunction,the average gestational age [(28.7 ± 1.7) weeks],birth weight[(1520.1-44.8) g] and 1 min Apgar score (5.5 ± 0.8) were all lower than those in normal infants [n =59,(33.5 ± 2.2)weeks,(2240.4 ± 47.1) g and 7.1 ± 0.8],while the average mechanical ventilation time was longer [(20.4±5.8) dvs (5.6±2.7) d](t=2.37,2.49,2.13 and 2.44,P<0.05).In 20 premature infants with psychomotor dysfunction,the average gestational age [(27.9 ±± 1.4) weeks],birth weight [(1515.6±43.7) g],1 min Apgar score (5.6t0.5) were lower than those in normal infants [n=62,(33.2±2.4) weeks,(2264.3±42.5) g and 7.2±0.6],while the mechanical ventilation time was longer [(18.2±4.7) dvs (5.3±2.2) d](t=2.28,2.52,2.09 and 2.38,P<0.05).Among thirteen preterm infants with severe white matter damage,eleven and nine developed mental or psychomotor dysfunction respectively.Among eleven preterm infants with moderate and severe ventriculomegaly,seven and six developed mental or psychomotor dysfunction respectively.The more severe the white matter damage and ventriculomegaly,the higher the incidence of mental (H=16.23 and 14.33,P<0.05) and psychomotor dysfuction (H =18.63 and 12.69,P < 0.05).Conclusions White matter damage is common in preterm infants.Prognosis of preterm infants with mental and psychomotor dysfunction is related with the degree of white matter damage and ventriculomegaly.

Objective To evaluate the long term efficacy of partial splenic embolization(PSE) for thalassanemia major. Methods 75 patients with thalassanemia major were treated with PSE and followed for 5 years,in which 30 patients with compelete data were studied.There were 8 patients with ? thalassanemia major,22 patients with ? thalassanemia major.The follow up indices included mean haemoglobin concertration,transfusion indices and blood transfusion consumption after embolization at 1,2,3,4,5 years. Results 26 of 30 patients showed a reduction in blood transfusion requirements and increase in haemoglobin level after embolization. The median blood transfusion requirements decreased from 1 200 ml/year before embolization to 200 ml/year; and the transfusion indices dropped from 6 times/year to 1 time/year. The mean of haemoglobin level increased from (60 9? 18 9)g/L to (82 3?17 4)g/L. The total effective rate was 86 7%,in which ? ,? thalassanemia major were 100 0%,81 8% respectively. Conclusion PSE is an effective therapeutic procedure for thalassanemia major, especially for ? thalassanemia major.

Objective To investigate the effects of soluble CD40 ligand combined with LY294002,a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase,on proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells (AGS ) and its potential mechanisms. Methods The effect of gradient concentration of sCD40L and its combination with LY294002 on cellular proliferation was determined using MTT assay. The ability of cellular invasion and migration was evaluated by wound healing and Transwell invasion assay. The protein expression of PI3K, p-Akt and vascular endothelia growth factor (VEGF) was tested by Western blotting. Results The inhibitory effect of cellular proliferation in sCD40L, LY294002 and sCD40L + LY294002 groups was 70. 1%, 65. 7% and 41. 3%, respectively, with significant difference (P<0. 05). And wound healing was also delayed in cells treated with sCD40L plus LY294002 when compared with those treated with sCD40L or LY294002. These results indicated that the inhibitory effect of cellular proliferation, migration and invasion was enhanced when cells were treated with sCD40L plus LY294002. The protein expression of PI3K,p-Akt and VEGF increased in cells treated with sCD40L, but reduced drastically in cells treated with sCD40L plus LY294002. Conclusion Inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway may enhance the inhibitory effect of proliferation, migration and invasion by sCD40L on AGS cells, which provide a new way for biochemical therapy of gastric cancer.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of total glucosides of paeony(TGP) in the treatment of undifferentiated spondyloarthropathies(uSpA) and investigate its mechanism.Methods One hundred and sixteen cases of uSpA were randomly assigned to 2 groups,one group was treated with TGP and diclofenac sodium,the other group with SASP and diclofenac sodium.The efficacy and side effects of the two groups were compared after 12 weeks treatment.The level of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-? was determined at the same time.Result After 12 weeks treatment,the major clinical manifest and the indexes of disease activity were no difference of statistical significance in the two groups.The incidence of parenterally side effects was 8.6% in TGP group,and 25.9% in SASP group.There was difference at statistical significance between the two groups(? 2 =6.042,P=0.014).Before treatment,the level of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-? in the serum of two groups were no statistical difference,while there was obviously difference after 12 weeks treatment(t= 2.672,2.483 and 2.088,P=0.009,0.014 and 0.039).Conclusion The efficacy of TGP and SASP has no significant difference in the treatment of uSpA.But the incidence of parenterally side effects in the TGP group was less than SASP group.The mechanism of efficacy of TGP may be related to inhibiting the production of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-?.
