This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of "J"-shaped uterine incision for caesarean section for patients diagnosed with placenta previa. A total of 55 consecutive cases of placenta previa treated in Union Hospital were retrospectively analyzed over a period of two years and 10 months. The subjects were divided into two groups with respect to the uterine incision. Twenty-four pregnant women with placenta previa who were indicated for caesarean section underwent the procedure using a new "J"-shaped uterine incision and 31 pregnant women with placenta previa received caesarean section that used the traditional transverse incision. The two groups were compared in terms of operation time, estimated blood loss, infant expulsion time, exhaust time and postoperative recovery. Meanwhile, comparison was also made in neonatal clinical data between the two groups. Compared with the "J"-shaped incision group, the traditional incision group had a lower Apgar scores (P<0.05). However, there existed no statistically significant differences in the overall time of operation and postoperative period of breaking wind (P>0.05). It is concluded that, with caesarean section for placenta previa patients, the "J"-shaped uterine incision significantly decreases intraoperative blood loss and facilitates the fetal delivery.

The underlying effect of different concentrations of neogenin on proliferation, apoptosis and the related proliferative factors in human trophoblasts was explored in order to understand the function of neogenin during placentation. TEV-1 cell line was cultured and the expression of netrin-1 was detected by using indirect cellular immunofluorescence. Exponentially growing TEV-1 cells were treated by different concentrations of neogenin (0, 1, 5, 10, 50 ng/mL) for 24 h. Cell viability was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. TEV-1 cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry (FCM). The expression of netrin-1 mRNA and protein in TEV-1 cells was examined by using real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. It was found that immunoreactivity for netrin-1 was observed in cytoplasm of the trophoblasts. Immediately after treatment with different concentrations of neogenin for 24 h, the netrin-1 expression began to increase. Real-time PCR revealed that the expression level of netrin-1 mRNA was 37.59+/-10.25 times higher than control group when TEV-1 cells were exposed to 50 ng/mL neogenin (P<0.01), and the same tendency was seen by using Western blot. MTT results showed that proliferation of TEV-1 cells was independent of neogenin. Meanwhile, apoptosis was significantly increased to (22.15+/-6.15)% at 50 ng/mL neogenin and (6.55+/-0.25)% without neogenin (P<0.01). It is suggested that neogenin regulates proliferation and apoptosis of TEV-1 cells. And it can enhance the ability of TEV-1 cells to express netrin-1 in a dose-dependent manner. Neogenin may play an important biological role in the normal human pregnancy and contribute to the physiological pregnancy process.

A method of complete acid hydrolysis combined with high performance anion exchange chromatography and pulsed amperometric detection was developed for the monosaccharide composition analysis of arabinoxylan from the seeds of Plantago asiatica L. The parameters including hydrolysis methods, acid types, acid concentration, hydrolysis temperature, hydrolysis time and placement time, which would affect the hydrolysis process, were optimized. The results showed that it would have a better hydrolysis effect for polysaccharide from the seeds of Plantago asiatica L. with 2 mol/L H2 SO4 in an atmospheric oil bath at 120℃for 2 hours. However, the placement time for diluted solution of the hydrolyzed polysaccharide should be less than 6 hours. The polysaccharide was mainly composed of Arabinose (8. 89%) and Xylose (41. 52%) and Galacturonic acid (0. 73%). Glcuronic acid (3. 44%) was detected simultaneously, and there were also trace amounts of Galatose and Glucose. The results were reproducible. Other arabinoxylans from Panicummiliaceum L. shell, Avena sativa L. bran and Hordeum vulgare L. were taken for monosaccharide compositions analysis under the optimal hydrolysis conditions and the analysis results were good. This study would provide a good reference for monosaccharides composition analysis of arabinoxylans from various sources.

The possibility that a recombinant protein vaccine based on xenogeneic homologous FGFR-1 of chicken induces production of autoantibodies against self-FGFR-1 in BALB/c mice was examined by using ELISA, Western blot analysis and ELISPOT assay respectively. Autoantibodies against mouse FGFR-1 were identified by Western blot analysis and ELISA. Compared with the two control groups, the number of APBCs, which were detected by ELISPOT assay, was significantly increased in the spleens of mice immunized with cFR1 (P < 0.05). IgG1 and IgG2b, which were detected by ELISA, were the major subclasses and were substantially increased in response to chicken FGFR-1 when compared with control group. The recombinant chicken FGFR-1 protein used as a vaccine can induce autoantibodies against self-FGFR-1 in mice and provide a basis for the active immunotherapy of tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To explore sonographic manifestation of fetal malformations of cortical development.Methods From August 2012 to January 2014 three hundred and twenty-five pregnancy women referred to our institution for fetal brain MRI,which were diagnosed or suspected of central nervous system abnormalities by prenatal ultrasound examination.Results In 325 of cases,14 cases (4％) were diagnosed of malformations of cortical development.Ten eases were indicated by prenatal ultrasound,including three cases of heterotopic gray matter,six cases of microcephaly and one case of hemimegalencephaly; four cases were missed by prenatal ultrasound,including two cases of schizencephaly,one case of tuberous sclerosis,and one case of hypoplasia.Conclusions Cortical malformations can be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography based on typical imaging characteristics.Prenatal ultrasound combined with MRI is a powerful tool in diagnosing fetal malformations of cortical development.

ObjectiveTo explore the expression of CD3+ CD8+ human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2+T lymphocytes with specificity to the different hepatitis B virus (HBV) peptides in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)from the patients with hepatitis B associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsThe HLA-A2+ PBMC from four patients with hepatitis B associated HCC were incubated with five HBV/HLA-A2 pentamers respectively,which were HBV sAg (FLLTRILTI),HBV sAg (GLSPTVWLSV),HBV sAg (WLSLLVPFV),HBV core (FLPSDFFPSV),and HBV pol (FLLSLGIHL),as well as anti-CD3-pacific blue and anti-CD8-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).Then,HBV/HLA-A2-CD3-CD8 positive cells were detected by flow cytometry. The monoclonal HBV/HLA-A2-CD3-CD8+ cells were acquired by fluorescenceactivated cell sorter,and cultured and identified by flow cytometry.The anti-HBV specific T lymphocytes were then cultured with HepG2 (HLA-A2+ ) cells and the release of interferon γ (IFN-γ)were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),Res(a)ltsThe percentage of antiHBV T lymphoeytes with specificity to GLSPTVWLSV in total CD8+ T lymphoeytes from four patients with hepatitis B associated HCC was 1.44％±0.04％,which was higher than those to other four HBV antigen peptides (0.68％±0.08％ of FLLTRILTI,1.06％±0.09％ of FLPSDFFPSV,0.56％ ±0.04％ of FLLSLGIHL,and 0.46％ ±0.08％ of WLSLLVPFV) (t=0.001,P＜0.05).The two lines of monoclonal cell with specificity to GLSPTVWLSV both exhibited high level of IFN-γ expression after incubated with hepatic carcinoma cell line HepG2 (HLA-A2+)with HBV GLSPTVWLSV peptide.ConclusionsCD3+ CD8+ HLA-A2+ cells with specificity to the different HBV peptides exist in PBMC of patients with hepatitis B associated HCC.The expression level depends on HBV antigen peptide sequences and genomic sites.

Objective To investigate the effect of PCI/CABG for the patients with coronary artery disease(CAD) with LVEF≤40%. Methods 196 CAD patients with LVEF≤40% were divided into PCI (n = 106) and CABG group (n=90). The clinical factors, revaseularization, medication, and in-hospital and follow-up malignant cardiological events(MACCE) were retrospectively compared,and the survival curve were drew by COX regression.Results Survival rate of the PCI group and CABG group in 30-day (96% vs. 94% ), 1-year(95 % vs. 92% ), and 2-year(93% vs. 87% )were similar. There was no MACCE within 30 days in the two groups(92% vs. 92% ) and 1-year survival rate without MACCE was similar in the two groups(86% vs. 88% ). CABG group had higher 2- year survival rate without MACCE than PCI group (83%vs. 72% ). But the COX survival curves of the two group were not signifi-cantly different (P=0. 662). Conclusion The patients with LVEF ≤ 40% undergoing PCI have short-term and long-term survival rate similar to those accepting CABG.

Objective To evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared with those with non-STEMI after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Method The DESIRE Ⅱ (Drug-Eluting Stent Impact on Revascularization Ⅱ) was a single-center registered retrospective study of coronary revascularization in our institution between July 2003 and September 2009.Data of demographics, clinical features and revascularization record of STEMI and non-STEMI patients from the DESIRE Ⅱ trial were analyzed. The patients were followed up in OPD or by telephone after discharge. MACCE (major adverse cardiocerebral events) including death, neo-myocardial infarction, stroke and revascularization were recorded. The clinical outcomes of patients of two types were evaluated. Results There were 6005 patients studied with a median follow-up of 566 days. A total of 1009 STEMI and non-STEMI patients were analyzed. The patients with non-STEMI ( n = 206) had higher prevalence of hypertension and history of higher frequency of myocardial infarction as well as revascularization compared with patients with STEMI ( n = 803). The patients with non-STEMI had higher ratio of treatment for multivessel disease (43.7% vs. 34.4%, P = 0.039). There were no significant differences in in-hospital mortality and long-term outcomes (one year survival rate: 96% vs. 98%)between patients with STEMI and non-STEMI. The predictors of 1-year mortality were LVEF and blood creatine.Conclusions Despite different chnical features, patients with STEMI and non-STEMI after PCI had similar both short-term and long-term outcomes.

By comparing routine FBP with algebraic iterative reconstruction, this study exploit the effect of the two SPECT reconstruction techniques on the ratio of Target/Background (T/B) and image noise. The result of research on model and clinical cases showed that the technique of OSEM could increase T/B ratio by 1.5% (heart), 3.3% (bone), 1.4% (brain). No obvious difference in image noise existed between OSEM and FBP. Compared with FBP, OSEM could improve T/B value in bone focus more significantly. Under the same injection dosage, OSEM could increase the speed of image collection by more than one time without changes in image quality and T/B ratio. The result suggested that function and clinical application of SPECT would significantly improved by substituting routine FBP with OSEM.
