Objective To probe the application of umbilical vein catheterization among the verylow-birth-weight or the low-birth-weight children.Methods In this retrospective study,the clinical condition of the very-low-birth-weight or the low-birth-weight infants in neonatal intensive care unit who had umbilical vein catheterization from June 2011 to January 2013 was concluded.Results Sixty-three cases were successfully catheterized,of which 41 cases were catheterized in inferior vena cava(65.1％).The retention time was 4 to 21 days,with an average of 12.9 days.Eleven cases suffered unplanned extubation of the indwelling catheters,and eight of them were located in the umbilical vein.There were statistically significant differences of unplanned extubation rates among different location of the catheters (x2 =8.38,P ＜ 0.01).All cases were intubated within 36 hours after birth,and the intubation time was not positively correlated to the success rate of catheterization in the inferior vena cava (x2 =0.223,P ＞ 0.1).Suspected catheter-related infections occurred in 5 cases and the infection rate was 6.2/1000 per intravascular catheter day.After extubation,bacterial cultures of the tips of the catheters and blood were arranged.The results suggest that the bacterial culture of the catheter tip was positive in only 1 case(1.6％),and yeast-like fungus was positive in 1 case (1.6％),while the retention time and incidence of catheter-related infection had no significant corelation(x2 =0.075,P ＞ 0.95).Conclusion Umbilical vein catheterization could be used at the early stage in preterm (very) low-birth-weight infants.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of video electroencephalogram (VEEG) in neonatal seizure. Methods Seizures attacks of 64 newborns with gestational ages 28-44 weeks were monitored by VEEG. Results Incidence of abnormal VEEG was 32. 8%. Among 64 cases found in the VEEG, 13 cases had epileptic discharge in the ictal VEEGs. Three cases showed epileptic discharge in the interictal VEEGs with normal background rhythm. Two cases presented epileptic discharge in the interictal VEEGs with abnormal background rhythm. Three cases had abnormal background rhythm only. Discharge frequency during sleeping was more quick than that during awake-ness, mostly in the quiet sleep phase. Most frequently ictal epileptic discharges were a focal onset (16/ 18) , and 13 cases happened in the temple lobe. No epileptic discharge in the ictal and interictal VEEGs were tested in 46 cases attacked with seizures, which were diagnosed as non-epileptic seizures. Conclusions VEEG plays an important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis in epilepsy and non-epileptic seizure in newborns, and is valuable to perform early to improve prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of polysaccharide from Porphyra on spleen cell function in immunosuppressive mice. Methods The polysaccharide at dosages 0.025, 0.050 and 0.150g?kg~ -1 was injected intraperitoneally for 7 days in the immunosuppressive mice induced by cyclophosphamide. On day 8, the splenic lymphocytic proliferation and activity of TNF were determined. Results The splenic lymphocytic proliferation and cytotoxicity of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) of the group treated with 0.150g?kg~ -1 of porphyra polysaccharide were higher than those of model group. Conclusion Polysaccharide from Porphyra could promote splenic lymphocytic proliferation and raise the level of TNF.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of pancreatic head resection with the second portion duodenectomy (PHRSPD). MethodsThe clinical data of 4 PHRSPD cases were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsThere were 3 benign and 1 low-grade malignant periampullary tumors. The mean surgical time was 417 min, mean blood transfusion was 533 ml, mean hospital stay was 28.6 days. Delayed gastric emptying was encounted in one case. There was no hospital morality or major surgical complications. All cases were alive in the follow-up ranging from 6 to 36 months. There was no newly developed diabetes mellitus or severe gastroenteral symptoms. No reccurrence was found in the case with low-grade malignant duodenal tumor after 26 months. ConclusionsPHRSPD is an efficient way to treat benign and low-grade periampullary neoplasm and accompanying massive bleeding episodes.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the matrix formula of Lanlian ertong qingre cataplasm. METHODS:Taking adhesion force,peel strength and sensory description as index,the ratio of matrix framework material(sodium polyacrylate-gan hydroxyl alu-minum-tartaric acid-glycerin) was optimized with orthogonal test. The single factor test was adopted to select adhesive and filler;the amount of penetrating agent azone was screened using the in vitro penetration amount of phillyrin. RESULTS:The best matrix ratio of Lanlian ertong qingre cataplasm was sodium polyacrylate-gan hydroxyl aluminum-tartaric acid-glycerin(4.0:0.8:0.4:15);PVP K-90 was used as adhesive,and bolus alba as filler;penetration enhancers azone accounted for 2.0%. Validation test showed, prepared cataplasm had good appearance,could stick on the 5th or the 6th ball;it's peel strength was 7.5 N;all RSDs of score were lower than 4%(n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The optimized matrix formula of Lanlian ertong qingre cataplasm is simple,stable and good in molding.

Objective To study the radioprotective effect of indole-3-carbinol (I3C) acid condensation products.Methods Cell colony formation assay was used to determine cell survival rate,and Western Blot assay was employed to measure protein expression.Results Seven kinds of the I3C acid condensation products showed different radioprotective effect on normal fibrous epithelial cells 184A1,among which 24 h pre-treatment of CTET (1 μmol/L),LTET (1 μmol/L),HI-IM (1 μmol/L) and 3,3'-diindoly methane (DIM) (0.3 μmol/L) showed significant increase of cell survival rate following irradiation with γ-ray,and the difficence was statistically significant (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).However,CT (1 μmol/L),LTr-1 (1 μmol/L) and ICZ (1 μmol/L) showed no effect on cell survival rate caused by radiation (P＞0.05).Furthermore,CTET,LTET,HI-IM and DIM activated the phosphorylation of ATM,BRCA1 and NBS1 proteins.HI-IM significantly decreased radiation-caused cell death and apoptosis.Conclusions CTET,LTET,HI-IM,and DIM can significantly reduce the radiosensitivity in 184A1 cells,and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of DNA damage and the repair of protein phosphorylation.

Objective To evaluate and compare the clinical effects of proximal femoral nail antirotation blade (PFNA) with reverse less invasive stabilization system-distal femur (LISS) in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures associated with coxa vara. Methods From June 2007 to June 2010, A retrospective study with more than 10 months follow-up of 46 patients with proximal femoral fractures associated with coxa vara underwent PFNA or reverse LISS were carried out, including 24 with PFNA and 22 patients with reverse LISS. The physical status of patient was evaluated according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score. After the operation, the operation duration and volume of blood loss were assessed in the two groups, respectively. At the last follow-up, full weight bearing time, fracture healing time, and neck-shaft angle discrepancy related to contralateral side without fracture of the each group were assessed, respectively.Functional recovery was evaluated according to Parker and Palmer mobility score. Results The average follow-up period was 11.2 months (range, 10-12). All the fractures healed successfully and reached bony union.There were no significant differences between PFNA group and reverse LISS group for the average ASA score, the average operating time, the average volume of intraoperative bleeding and Parker and Palmer mobility score. The patients were allowed full weight-bearing from 9.33 weeks after surgery in PFNA group and from 16.95 weeks in reverse LISS group. The patients reached bony union after 17.21 weeks after surgery in PFNA group and from 30.73 weeks in reverse LISS group. Comparing with PFNA group, neck-shaft angle discrepancy decreased in reverse LISS group. Conclusion The results of PFNA and reverse LISS in the treatment of proximal femoral fracture were satisfactory. The fracture treated by PFNA allowed earlier weight bearing. Reverse LISS could provide better support for neck-shaft angle to avoid coxa vara more effectively.

Objective To analyze the clinical factors predicting long-term survival after curative resection of pancreatic head carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 58 patients with ductal adenocarcinoma of pancreatic head who underwent curative resection of carcinoma of pancreatic head from 1996 to 2004 were collected and were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 with Cox Proportional Hazards Model. Results 58 patients, including 30 male and 28 female patients, were involved in this study. Pancreaticoduodenectomy were performed in 14 cases and extended resections were performed in 44 cases. The overall 1, 3, 5 year survival rates was 46.6%, 29.3% and 8.6%, respeclively. The 1,3, 5 year survival rates of pancreatoduodenectomy with extended regional lymphadenectomy was 43.1%, 22.7% and 6.8%, respectively. UICC staging, peri-pancreatic nerve invasion and blood infusion had significant effects on the prognosis after curative resection. Conclusions The long-term prognosis after curative resection of pancreatoduodenectomy was still dismal. Much importance should be paid to early diagnosis and comprehensive management for pancreatic head cancer.
