Objective To explore the application value of INTERGROWTH-21st standard evaluate intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).We aimed at predicting IUGR with ultrasonic fetal growth measurements.Methods A prospective cohort of singleton pregnancy scanned after 28 gestational weeks was constructed.The Z-score values of growth measurements were calculated using the INTERGROWTH-21st standard.Logistic regression equation was used to establish the prediction formula.Finally,the new formula was compared with the traditional Hadlock method to predict the accuracy of IUGR.We assessed outcomes for consenting participants who attended research scans and delivered at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University.Results A total of 834 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included.After the exclusion of 143 lost cases,565 of control cases and 126 of IUGR cases were obtained.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictivevalue,negative predictive value,false positive rate and false negative rate of prediction model wererespectively:88.9 ％,85.4 ％,57.7 ％,97.2 ％,14.6 ％,11.1 ％.In contrast,the values of Hadlock wererespectively:81.7％,82.7％,51.2％,95.3％,17.3％,18.3％.Conclusions This study shows aprediction model of IUGR.INTERGROWTH-21st standard improved the diagnostic accuracy of IUGR,especially enhanced the positive predictive value.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of insomnia on heart rate variety(HRV) in aged hypertension patients. Methods259 subjects were divided into healthy group (74 cases),simple hypertension group (71 cases),coexisting hypertension and insomnia group (114 cases) which was sub-grouped to ＜5 years,5-9 years and ≥-10 years according to the duration of insomnia.All subjects had 24 h recordings of ECG.The data of HRV time domain (SDNN,SDANN and ASDNN) were collected and compared.ResultsHRV time domain was lower in healthy group than in the other two groups (F=12.02,10.54 and 4.27,P＜0.01),and decreased more significantly in coexisting hypertension and insomnia group compared with simple hypertension group(P＜0.01).The values of SDNN and SDANN in 5-9 years and ≥ 10 years subgroups decreased as compared with ＜ 5 years subgroup (F=8.63 and 4.54,P＜0.01),and these values further lower in ≥10 years subgroup than in 5-9 years subgroup (P＜ 0.01 ). ConclusionsInsomnia may lead to more serious disorder of automatic nervous system and further aggravated disorders appear in the elderly with hypertension along with increasing years of insomnia.

0.05). In the group of pirenzepine, the RBF, velocity and volume significantly increased at 0.5 h and 1 h after injection compared with that before injection (P0.05). Conclusion These results suggest that pirenzepine could increase RBF and oxygen in blood with the peak time at 0.5 h and 1 h after intravitreous injection.

Sepsis is a frequent condition with high mortality,and its early diagnosis in the pediatrics department is one of the keys to improve survival. C-reactive protein and procalcitonin have been used as bio-markers in the diagnosis of sepsis,but they have limited susceptibility and specificity,and can be elevated in non inflammatory condition. Presepsin is the free fragment of a glycoprotein expressed on monocytes/macro-phages. Preliminiary reports suggest that levels of presepsin are significantly higher in septic patients com-pared to healthy individuals, and presepsin is useful for evaluating the severity of sepsis.

Objective Through death analysis of critically ill children with interhospital transportation,to explore the cause of death and its influencing factors.Methods We collected the data of death cases within 24 hours who were one-way transported from primary hospital to the emergency department of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between July 2012 and May 2014.We analyzed the diseases type,physiopathologic status,and the treating measures in the process of transportation.Results There were total 1 122 cases,34 children died,the mortality was 3.0％,7 cases died before admission,27 cases died within 24 hours after admission.The first three types of diseases were respiratory system diseases(8/34,23.5％),nervous system diseases (7/34,20.6％) and accidental injury (6/34,17.6％).The physiopathologic status were analyzed according to physiological status and laboratory data at admission.Most of the children had a variety of physiopathologic status.Electrolyte disturbances were found in 22 cases(81.5 ％),metabolic acidosis and respiratory failure in 19 cases (70.4％).Most cases had intravenous channel (33/34,97 ％),intravenous infusion (32/34,94.1％)and electrocardiogram monitoring (30/34,88.2％),none of the cases received vasoactive agents in transportation.Conclusion Insufficient disease evaluation before the transportation of critically ill children,inadequate monitoring and treating measures on the way are important factors causing the death of children.

Objective To investigate the toxicity of alpha terthienyl to the larvae of Aedes albopictus , its influencing factors and effect on the larva deve lopment. Methods Under experimental ultraviolet A (UVA),the number of dead,pupal or eclosive mosquito larvae was determined on the condition of different doses of alpha terthienyl and different disposal time in the dark;the number of dead larvae was also determined under sunlight on the condition of different doses of alpha terthienyl and different disposal time to water. Results The LC 50 of alpha terthienyl to Aedes albopictus larvae was 2.37 ?g/L under UVA. The best effect was shown when the larvae were incubated with alpha terthienyl 3 h in dark. Alpha terthienyl could significantly inhibit the larva deve lopment and the emergence of the pupae. Under strong sunlight, the larvae were quickly killed by high concentration alpha terthienyl. The 24 hours effect of alpha terthienyl was better when it was applied at 5 AM than that of at 10 AM and 1PM. Conclusion Alpha terthienyl is an effective, practicable larvicide which prohibits the growth and development of the larvae of Aedes albopictus .

Objective To study a case series of thoracolumbar flexion-distraction fractures combined with compression of anterior and central columns to analyze the causes of its occult symptoms and explore the injury mechanism,imaging diagnosis and operative reduction of the fractures.Methods A retrospective study was carried out on data of 39 patients with thoracolumbar flexion-distraction fractures admitted into our hospital from May 2003 to December 2006.Of all,there were 17 patients with compression of anterior and central columns.The diagnostic value of imaging examinations such as X-ray,CT and MRI was evaluated.All patients were treated with posterior operation,in which simple distraction of the anterior and central columns was followed by compression and reduction of the posterior column from the rear axial direction.The clinical efficacy and safety of operation were assessed.Results The patients with compression of anterior and central columns accounted for 43.6% of all thoracolumbar flexion-distraction fractures.Before operation,six patients were misdiagnosed as simple compression fracture.Various kinds of imaging examinations detected the bone injury and/or ligaments complex injury of the posterior column at different degrees.The positive results on X-ray,CT,spiral CT multi-planar reconstruction (MPR)and MRI were in 8,7,11 and 17 patients respectively.After simple posterior distraction in 17 patients,there occurred over distraction in eight patients who were cured with posterior recompression plus reduction.Conclusions The posterior column injury of thoracolumbar flexion-distraction fractures combined with compression of anterior and central columns is relatively occult and easy to be misdiagnosed as simple compression fracture,when MPR CT and MRI are helpful for diagnosis.The operation with twostep reduction of axial distraction followed by compression can attain satisfactory and safe results.

Aim To investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (Sal B)on c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)ac-tivation and apoptosis of INS-1 cells induced by inter-mittent high glucose.Methods INS-1 cells were pre-incubated with Sal B for 24 h,followed by exposure to intermittent high glucose (IHG,11.1 mmol·L-1 12 h,33. 3 mmol·L-1 12 h)for 72 h.Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay and cell apoptosis was evalua-ted by flow cytometry.Glucose induced insulin secre-tion capacity and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS)contents were measured by enzyme linked im-munosorbent assay (ELISA)and a fluorescent probe DCFH-DA,respectively.Levels of JNK activation and PDX-1 protein expression were determined by Western blot analysis.Results Sal B significantly alleviated IHG-induced cell injury and apoptosis,with glucose induced insulin secretion capacity improved evidently (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Preincubation with Sal B no-tably decreased intracellular ROS and JNK activation in INS-1 cells,while the level of PDX-1 protein was in-creased markedly (P<0.05 or P<0.01 ).Conclu-sion Sal B is capable of ameliorating IHG-induced cell injury and apoptosis in INS-1 cells,which might be derived from suppression of JNK activation and up-regulation of PDX-1 protein expression.
