Necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)in neonates is the most important neonatal problems in nursery and is associated with high neonatal mortality and morbidity.NEC also leads to various long term complications,including short bowel syndrome,systemic infection,eye problems,nutritional deficiency and neurodevelopmental impairments.Lactoferrin(LF) is a component of breast milk and has multiple actions include antimicrobial,antiviral,anti-fungal and enhance immunity and so on.Studies have been completed and a number of trails are going on for evaluation of efficacy and safety of LF in the prevention of NEC.LF prophylaxis and therapy may have a significant impact on improving clinical outcomes of vulnerable premature infants.

The establishment of a modified method to evaluate angiogenesis of rat rings in serum-free medium was investigated in this paper. The aorta rings of Wistar rats were embedded in fibrinogen gel in 48 well plates, and cultured in an optimized serum free medium MCDB131. Results indicated that new capillaries spouted on 4th day, and entered into growth phase from 6th day, and peaked on 13th day and remained unchanged thereafter.

Objective To investigate the expression and change of neuroglobin (NGB) gene on hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Methods Fourty-eight wistar rats of 7days old were divided into 6 groups randomly. Five study groups, study (1 min), study (5 min), study (15 min), study (30 min), study (60 min), and control group. The brain tissues were taken at 1 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min and 60 min after brain hypoxic-ischemia injury, and nucleic and immunohistochemistry method were used. One-way method of Stata soft-bage was used for statistics. Results There were time-depended pattern of the expression of NGB gene. It increased rapidly at 1 min after ischemia (A:1.236), there was significant difference from control group (A:0.641; P

Mastoparan(MAS) and α-latrotoxin(α-LTX) are two kinds of insulinotropic peptides obtained from insect toxins which can interact with islet β-cells and induce insulin secretion. The signal mechanism of these insulinotropic peptides regulating insulin-releasing attracts notable attention and has been elucidated more and more details. MAS mainly acts on the molecular components of exocytosis at a late stage. Insulin secretion induced by MAS is obviously dependent on GTP, which subsequently activates G-protein located on insulin secretion granules(ISG), or activates the Rho subfamily of small G proteins to evoke exocytosis and sensitize fusion machinery. The MAS stimulated insulin-releasing activity can be augmented by nutrients. However, its effect is not Ca~(2+) dependent. There are two regulatory pathway triggered by α-LTX: one way is pore formation caused through plasma membrane, another way is the transmembrane signal transduction evoked by cytosolic second messengers. Tetrameri complexs assembled at high concentration of α-LTX toxin or in the presence of extracellular Ca~(2+), can insert α-LTX into plasma membrane to form Ca~(2+) permeable channels and trigger Ca~(2+)-dependent secretion. By binding to transmembrane receptors and activating phospholipase C, α-LTX induces the generation of second messenger DAG and IP3. IP3 triggers Ca~(2+) influx and subsequently activates CaMK pathway, however, DAG also activates PKC pathway to increase insulin release.

120 teeth with wedge-shaped defects at subgingival depth of 0 ~2 mm were selected and divided into 3 groups(n =40).Gingival retraction code and EXPASYL gingival retraction paste were used for gingival retraction in the 2 retraction groups,and none retraction was used in the control group.After restoration of the defects,all cases were followed up for 1 year and 2 years.The results were evaluated by modified USPHS criteria.No significant difference was detected for 1 year and 2 year successful rates between the extraction groups(P >0.05).The successful rate in extraction groups was higher than that in the control group(P ＜0.05).

Objective To explore the practice and efficacy of multidisciplinary collaborative management in the prevention and control of multidrug-resistant organism(MDRO)healthcare-associated infection(HAI).Methods MDROs isolated from clinical specimens and MDRO infection in hospitalized patients in April 2012-March 2013(before intervention)and April 2013-March 2014(after intervention)were analyzed retrospectively.Since April 2013,multidisciplinary collaborative management has been implemented,isolation of MDROs and MDRO HAI in hospitalized patients before and after intervention were compared and analyzed.Results 798 and 833 MDRO strains were isolated before and after the intervention respectively,isolation rate of MDROs after intervention was lower than that before intervention(25.71%vs 31.89%,P<0.001).After the implementation of multidisciplinary collaborative management,incidence of MDRO HAI decreased from 0.94%before intervention to 0.63%;hand hygiene compliance rate of health care workers(HCWs)increased from 36.44%before intervention to 53.51%;compliance rate of contact isolation increased from 65.29%before intervention to 90.88%;rational usage rate of antimicrobial agents increased from 64.93%before intervention to 72.53%;specimen detection rate in patients with therapeutic antimicrobial use increased from 41.36%before intervention to 58.72%,differences were all statistically significant(all P<0.001).Conclusion The practice of multidisciplinary collaborative management can effectively implement the prevention and control measures of MDRO HAI,effectively reduce the occurrence of MDRO HAI.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of renal artery angiography with interpolated finite impulse response (IRFR) sequence on 1.5T MR. Methods A total of 122 subjects underwent MR scan with IFIR sequence. On axial image of IFIR, bilateral signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and breath artifact of renal artery were measured and 3D maximum intensity projection (MIP) images were reconstructed on workstation ADW 4.3, and each branch was scored according to its displaying quality. Influence of SNR, age and breath artifact on the displaying of renal artery were compared and analyzed. Results Renal segmental artery could be seen in 112 subjects (91.80%). Among them, segmental artery was showed clearly in 78 subjects (63.93%), post-segmental artery was showed in 54 subjects (44.26%) and branches of post-segmental artery was showed in 22 subjects (18.03%). There was statistical difference of renal artery scores mean rank between ≥60 years group and ＜60 years group (49.25 vs 67.48, P=0.006), as well as between the group without and with breath artifact (66.66 vs 43.35, P=0.002). No statistical difference of SNR was found among renal artery scores from 1-5 (P=0.177). Conclusion IFIR sequence is simple and safe for renal artery angiography on 1.5T MR, and different grades of renal artery branch can be showed clearly.

Objective To evaluate multiple magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques in the differentiation of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors by comparing different information from MR perfusion-weighted Imaging (MR-PWI) and 1 HMR spectroscopy (1 H-MRS).Methods Forty patients with soft tissue tumors underwent conventional MR imaging,dynamic contrast-enhanced T2*-weighted MR-PWI and 1 H proton MR spectroscopy.The differences of perfusion and 1 H-MRS parameters of benign and malignant tumors were analyzed with t test.Results There was significant difference between benign and malignant tumoral tissues of BF value and Cho/Cr ratio(t=2.531,2.927,P < 0.05),while BV,MTT,Cho,Cr or Lip peak value were not.TIC was different between benign group (Ib) and malignant group (Ia).When the threshold value of BF was 4.35 ml ·100 mg-1·min-1,sensitivity and specificity for determining malignant tumors were 81.8%(18/22),72.2%(13/18),respectively.When the threshold value of Cho/Cr ratio was 3.22,Sensitivity and specificity for determining malignant tumors were 86.4% (19/22),88.9% (16/18),respectively.The abnormal wave crest is detected at 2.0-2.1ppm in 5 malignant tumors (2 malignant schwannoma and 3 malignant fibrous histiocytoma),while the other 35 cases were not.Conclusion The BF value and Cho/Cr ratio were both valuable diagnostic parameters in differentiating benign and malignant soft tissue tumors.TIC was helpful to distinguish malignant tumors from benign tumors,while the sensitivity and specificity of 1 H-MRS in diagnosing malignant soft tissue tumors were both higher.

Objective To determine long-term survival of 214 patients of lung cancer with brain metastases and to detect the potential prognostic factors.Methods A retrospective review was pedormed evaluating patients diagnosed as lung cancer with brain metastasis from Jan 1992 to Dec 2001 at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital.Two hundred and fourteen cases were enrolled.All hospital records were thoroughly reviewed in a retrospective manner.The management of the brain metastases were as follows: 8 patients underwent surgical resection and postoperative whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT); 2 cases received resection and chemotherapy; 10 had resection alone; 10 underwent WBRT alone,36 had chemotherapy alone; 15 received the combination of resection,chemotherapy and WBRT; 104 were performed with chemotherapy combined with WBRT; 29 had only supportive care.Survival time was measured from the date of the first treatment for malignancy to the date of death or the last follow-up.Seven further potential prognostic factors were investigated for survival including age,gender,T or N status,number of extra cranial metastases,pathological type and treatment modality.Statistical analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox-regression analysis.Results The overall median survival time was 10 months (95% CI9.06--10.94) and the 1,3,5 year survival rates were 7.46%,1.14% and 0,respectively.In the univariate model,none of the following variables had effect on survival: age,gender,T stage of the tumor,nodal status,number of extra cranial metastases and histological type.Univariate analysis showed a better survival for the combination of surgical resection,chemotherapy and radiation (P=0.00).Based on Cox-regression analysis,treatment modality was the only independent predictor of survival Conclusions Aggressive combined therapy of brain metastases may achieve a survival advantage.Excellent overall survival of lung cancer with brain metastases has been achieved with a combination of WBRT with surgical resection and chemotherapy.

Objective To evaluate MR diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)and MR perfusion-weighted imaging(PWI) in differentiating benign from malignant soft tissue tumors by comparing the related parameters. Methods Fifty patients with soft tissue tumors verified by pathology( benign 24, malignant 26) underwent DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced T2 * -weighted PWI. DWI and PWI data of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors were acquired at the workstation and their difference was analyzed with t-test. The diagnostic accordance rate was verified with x2-test. Subjective overall performance of two techniques were evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results ADC values of benign and malignant tumors were (2. 03±0. 36) × 10-3 mm2/s, ( 1.52±0. 39) × 10-3 mm2/s,respectively. The signal intensity decrease of them during the first-pass perfusion (SIdecrease ) were ( 13.54 ± 3.37 )%, (47. 57 ± 5. 21 ) % ,respectively. The maximum linearity slope rate of TIC ( SSmax ) of them were ( 5.51 ± 2. 54 ) %, (7.94 ± 3. 33) %, respectively. There were significant differences between benign and malignant tumors of ADC value and SIdecrease ( t = 2. 515,2. 938 ;P < 0. 05 ), while there was no significant difference in SSmax (t = 1. 272,P >0. 05). When the threshold of ADC value was 1. 866 × mm2/s, sensitivity and specificity for determining malignant tumors were 84. 6% (22/26)and 83.3% (20/24). When the threshold of SIdecrease was 40. 33% ,sensitivity and specificity for determining malignant tumors were 88. 5% (23/26)and 75.0% (18/24). In type Ⅰa of TIC,the proportion of benign soft tissue tumor was 3/24 and malignant tumor was 20/26. In type Ⅰb , benign tumor was 14/24 and malignant tumor was 3/26. In type Ⅰc, malignant tumor was 3/26. In type Ⅱ ,benign tumor was 7/24. The diagnostic accordance rate of DWI and PWI were 84. 0% (42/50) and 82. 0% (41/50), respectively. There was no significant difference between them ( x2 = 0. 8, P >0. 05). The accuracies of them were 81.7% , 83. 6% respectively by the area under the ROC curve (AUC). The sensitivity of PWI in diagnosing malignant soft tissue tumors was higher. Conclusions ADC value and SIdecrease are Valllable diagnostic parameters in differentiating benign and malignant soft tissue tumors. The threshold of these parameters for diagnosing malignant soft tissue tumors are 1. 866 × 10-3 mm2/s and 40. 33%, respectively. The type of TIC can help to distinguish malignant tumors from benign tumors, while the SSmax can not. The accuracies of DWI and PWI in the diagnosis of malignant soft tissue tumors are moderate. Compared with DWI, PWI should be selected firstly because of its higher sensitivity in diagnosing malignant tumors.
