[Objective] To evaluate the value of cardiac screening in the first trimester by using three-dimensional ultrasound with spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) and to analyze the value of different views for cardiac assessment.[Methods] This study retrospectively reviewed the eighty-seven fetuses with congenital heart diseases which were diagnosed in our institution between January 4th 2013 and June 30th 2016.We compared the detection rate of prenatal ultrasound screening with STIC in the first trimester and the results of postnatal echocardiography or autopsy.In addition,the detection rates of the different planes,including four-chamber view (4CV),outlet of the left ventricle (OLV),outlet of the right ventricle (ORV) and three vessels-trachea view (3VT) were analyzed.[Results] Severe cardiac anomalies were identified in 62 fetuses (71.3%) and non-severe cardiac anomalies were identified in 25 fetuses (28.7%).Seventy-eight cases (89.7%,78/87) with congenital heart diseases could be detected by using three-dimensional ultrasound with STIC.The detection ratesfor 4CV,4CV+OLV,4CV+ORV,4CV+3VT,4CV+OLV+ORV and 4CV+OLV+ORV+3VT were 48.3%,64.4%,66.7%,79.3%,69.0% and 89.7% respectively.[Conclusions] Three-dimensional ultrasound with STIC could detect congenital heart disease in the first trinester.The four-chamber view plus outlet of the left ventricle,outlet of the right ventricle and three vessels-trachea view could increase the detection rates of congenital heart diseases.

OBJECTIVE To develop an HPLC method for the determination of floxuridine in human serum.METHODS With metronidazole as the internal standard,200 μL of serum was extracted by n-propyl alcohol/methyl t-butyl ether in a two-step extraction.The organic layer was evaporated under nitrogen stream and the residual was reconstituted with the mobile plase.A Shim-Pack CLC-ODS column was selected and the mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile-phosphate buffer-water (75∶100∶900) at a flow rate of 0.6 mL*min-1.The detection wavelength was 268 nm.RESULTS A linearitywas obtained from 0.005 to 0.5 mg*L-1 of floxuridine in serum with a good correlation coefficient (r=0.9999,n=8).The intra-run and inter-run coefficients of variation were less than 4.09%.The mean recoveries were 103.00%,107.00% and 100.88% for the low,middle and high concentrations of check samples,respectively.The limit of detection was 0.001 mg*L-1.CONCLUSION The method was sensitive,specific and simple.It is suitable for clinical pharmacokinetic study.

Objective To investigate the effects of different types of anesthesia on the incidence rates of low-er respiratory tract infections of elderly patients in orthopedic department.Methods Clinical data from 445 elderly patients in orthopedic department were collected and retrospectively analyzed.We also investigated the relationship be-tween the types of anesthesia and the lower respiratory tract infections.Results The incidence rates of lower respira-tory tract infections were 23.08%in 169 cases,12.14%in 173 cases,and 4.85%in 103 cases after general anesthe-sia with tracheal intubation,intraspinal anesthesia,and nerve blocking anesthesia,respectively.There was statistically significant difference in the infection rates among the three groups (χ2 =13.784,P=0.001).Conclusion Different ways of anesthesia is critically correlated with the incidence of the lower respiratory tract infections in elderly patients.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of intratympanic dexamethasone injections combined with prednisone in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Methods A total of 71 patients diagnosed with sudden hearing loss were treated with intratympanic dexamethasone injections plus prednisone (B group) or prednisone alone (A group). Hearing was evaluated by pure tone audiogram performed before initial treatment and at 4 weeks following the final treatment. Results The total recovery rate after the treatment was 81.8% in the B group and 55.3% in the A group. The diflference between two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The present study suggests that sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients treated with intratympanic dexamethasone combined with prednisone have a higher likelihood of hearing recovery than those treated with prednisone alone.

Objective To observe the effects of hawthorn leaf procyanidins (HLP) on over expressions of ICAM-1 and E-selectin in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) induced by TNF-α,and clarify the mechanism of HLP's anti-inflammation effect. Methods HUVEC were cultured in vitro. MTT assay was used to detect cell viabilities. The expressions of ICAM-1 and E-selectin in HUVEC were detected by flowcytometry. Results Up to 200 mg/L, HLP showed no significant decrease in cell viabilities; the expression levels of ICAM-1 and E-selectin in the model group significantly increased, compared with that in the normal group; 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 mg/L HLP inhibited the expression elevations of ICAM-1 and E-selectin in concentration-dependent manner; and there were statistical significances in 40, 50 mg/L HLP groups, compared with the model group. Conclusion HLP can inhibit the over expressions of ICAM-1 and E-selectin of vascular endothelial cells induced by TNF-α, which possibly underlies HLP's anti-inflammation effect.

AIM:To observe the effects of hawthorn leaf polymeric procyanidins ( PPC) on calcium mobiliza-tion of vascular endothelial cells , and to study the underlying mechanism .METHODS: Free calcium in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was labeled with Fura-2.HUVECs were treated with ATP, a positive control drug, and PPC at concentrations of 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/L..The intracellular calcium concentrations were measured with a living cell microscope for 30 min.RESULTS:PPC concentration-dependently increased the intracellular calcium concen-tration of HUVECs .The intracellular calcium concentrations in 25 and 50 mg/L PPC groups were significantly higher than that in normal group (P<0.01).The dynamic manner of calcium concentration elevations elicited by PPC was a slow in -crease which happened after a latency time of several minutes , lasted for several minutes , and reached a plateau finally . This manner was quite different from that elicited by ATP , a typical SOC operator , hinting different mechanisms between them .Inhibiting the intracellular calcium release did not influence the effects of PPC;however , deleting extracellular calci-um, inhibiting the reverse mode of Na +-Ca2+exchange, or deleting extracellular sodium , restrained or even abolished the effects of PPC.CONCLUSION:PPC elicits calcium mobilization in vascular endothelial cells , which may be one of the mechanisms of the vascular modulatory activity of hawthorn procyanidins .This effect may be achieved through inducing the influx of sodium and then activating the reverse mode of Na +-Ca2+exchange.
