ObjectiveTo investigate the children with cerebral palsy (CP) in rehabilitation, their families and need of society support. Methods150 children with CP in rehabilitation participated in this study. A questionnaire was designed to investigate their basic situation, family status, society concern and requirements for society support, which completed by their parents. Results150 questionnaires were completed efficiently. 75 children were firstly treated before 1 year old. The rehabilitation treatments were effective to 130 children. 126 children appeared some disorder in emotion and personality. Home education was the main rehabilitation way in 133 children. The educational background of 59.4% mothers were senior high school or below. The income was less than 60 thousand yuan in 76.7% families, but spent more than 40 thousand yuan per year on treatment in 54.7% families. One or both parents in 119 families were forced to stop working. 93.3% of them suffered emotion pressure and 56.7% lacked the knowledge about CP. 81% families thought that more social support should be offered in 6 aspects including government welfare, social security, medical institutions, psychotherapy, community services and legal aid. ConclusionAll society should pay more attention on the children with CP and provide a good rehabilitation environment for them.

Objective To estimate the expression of ER and PR in the endometrium of both intrauterine adhesions (IUA) and non-IUA specimens. Methods The endometrium specimens from patients undergoing hysteroscopy for confirmed moderate IUA (n=20: 10 in proliferative phase, and 10 in secretory phase) were enrolled as the IUA group in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from October 2014 to August 2015. The specimens scheduled for hysteroscopy due to infertility were recruited into the control group (n=26: 13 in proliferative phase, and 13 in secretory phase). Immunohistochemistry and quantificational real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) were used to detect the expression of ER-α, ER-β and PR in endometrium with different menstrual period in both groups. Results (1) Location: in both groups, the expression of ER-α, ER-β and PR appeared in the endometrial glandular epithelial cells and the stromal cells of the endometrium. The positive brown granules of ER-α, ER-β and PR appeared mainly in cell nucleus. (2) ER-α and ER-β in the endometrium:the protein expression of ER-α and ER-β in IUA group (proliferative phase: 0.657 ± 0.028, 0.493 ± 0.023; secretory phase: 0.537 ± 0.020, 0.365 ± 0.031) were significantly higher than those of control group (proliferative phase: 0.586 ± 0.025, 0.437 ± 0.022; secretory phase:0.459 ± 0.025, 0.323 ± 0.017;all P<0.01). And the ER-αand ER-βmRNA expressions in IUA group were 2.524 ± 0.296, 1.947 ± 0.339, higher than those of control group in the proliferative phase (all P<0.01), and in the secretory phase (1.977±0.333, 1.345±0.292) were also higher than those in the control group (all P<0.01). (3) PR in the endometrium: the protein expression of PR was not significantly different between IUA group (proliferative phase:0.248±0.025, secretory phase:0.194±0.024) and control group (proliferative phase: 0.234 ± 0.019, secretory phase: 0.186 ± 0.020; P=0.162, 0.359). Meanwhile, there were no statistical differences in the mRNA expression of PR in both groups with different menstrual period (proliferative phase: 1.144 ± 0.384 versus 0.981 ± 0.306, secretory phase: 0.763 ± 0.237 versus 0.631 ± 0.203; P=0.270, 0.166). (4) ER and PR expression in menstrual cycles: the expression of ER-α, ER-β and PR in the IUA group changed with the menstrual cycles, and their expression in the proliferative phase were higher than those in the secretory phase (all P<0.05). Conclusions The expression of ER-α and ER-β in the endometrium of IUA patients changes with menstrual cycle, and are higher compared with those in normal endometrium. No difference is found in the PR expression between the two groups.

ObjectiveTo detect the serum NT-proBNP level in patients with severe trauma 24 hours after injury in order to find the possible correlated factors for the evaluation of the clinical application.MethodsSixty patients with severe trauma admitted to the emergency ICU were enrolled. Serum NTproBNP level was detected 24 hours after injury for comparison between survivors and nonsurvivors. The validity of NT-proBNP for predicting outcome was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic ( ROC )curve. The factors with significant correlation between NT-proBNP level and the length of ICU stay as well as the duration of mechanical ventilation support were determined in those survivors with correlation and stepwise linear regression analysis. These factors included injury severity score (ISS), head abbreviated injury score (AIS), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ ( APACHE I ), Glasgow coma score (GCS), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I) and central venous pressure. Results The median NT-proBNP levels were 762 pg/ml (IQR, 400-1131 pg/mL) in nonsurvivors versus 200 pg/ml (IQR, 80-383 pg/mL) in survivors (Z =-3. 972, P <0.01 ). The area under ROC curve of NTproBNP was not statistically different to that of ISS and that of APACHE Ⅱ. The best threshold value of NTproBN to predict the outcome was 384 pg/ml ( sensitivity 0. 846, specifity 0. 766). A positive correlation was found between NT-proBNP and the length of ICU stay ( r =0. 32, P < 0. 05 ) as well as the duration of mechanical ventilation ( r =0. 37, P < 0. 05 ) in survivors. Stepwise linear regression analysis indicated there were significant correlations between APACHE Ⅱ, CK-MB and NT-proBNP.ConclusionsSerum NT-proBNP level 24 hours after injury is correlated with the severity and outcome of patients with severe trauma. It may be used as a complementary biomarker for the rapid assessment of the severity of trauma.
