Objective:To explore the effect of bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets combined with low-dose erythromycin on the efficacy and motilin (MTL) levels in the treatment of children with functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods:One hundred and fifty children with FD admitted to Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from January 2019 to June 2020 were selected and were divided into two groups by random number table, with 75 cases in each group. The control group was treated with bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets, and the observation group was treated with low-dose erythromycin on the basis of control group. The clinical efficacy and the disappearance time of the clinical symptoms of the two groups were compared. The changes in the frequency of gastric antrum contraction (ACF), the amplitude of gastric antrum contraction (ACA), the gastric antral movement index (MI) were detected by ultrasonic developing-out unit before and after treatment. The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), nitric oxide (NO), gastrin (GAS) and MTL were detected before and after the treatment using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The incidence of adverse reactions was counted. The recurrence rate was recorded after 6 months of the treatment.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group:93.33% (70/75) vs. 78.67% (59/75), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 6.700, P<0.05). The disappearance time of symptoms of nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group: (2.58 ± 0.45) d vs. (3.22 ± 0.68) d, (3.56 ± 0.62) d vs. (4.10 ± 0.70) d, (2.54 ± 0.46) d vs. (3.24 ± 0.69) d, (2.66 ± 0.56) d vs. (3.40 ± 0.67) d, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of ACF, ACA and MI in the observation group after the treatment were higher than those in the control group: (4.32 ± 0.90) times/min vs. (3.58 ± 0.83) times/min, (0.34 ± 0.12) vs. (0.30 ± 0.10) mm, (1.33 ± 0.42) vs. (1.14 ± 0.30), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of 5-HT and NO in the observation group after the treatment were lower than those in the control group: (164.77 ± 30.34) mg/L vs. (184.45 ± 28.90) mg/L, (38.27 ± 10.20) mmol/L vs. (46.54 ± 9.48) mmol/L; and the levels of GAS and MTL were higher than those in the control group: (115.23 ± 15.70) ng/L vs. (98.50 ± 14.29) ng/L, (266.67 ± 32.76) ng/L vs. (238.40 ± 28.97) ng/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The treatment of pediatric FD with bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets combined with low-dose erythromycin can significantly improve the efficacy, quickly improve the clinical symptoms of children, promote physical recovery, and regulate MTL levels to improve gastric motility. The recurrence rate is low.

BACKGROUND:Polysulfone membrane holds good anti-biodegradation ability, but how to use it to prepare hol ow fiber dialysis membrane and its blood compatibility have not been ful y understood. OBJECTIVE:To study the preparation, transfer property and biocompatibility of hol ow fiber dialysis membrane. METHODS:With polysulfone as the film material, diethylene glycol as the porogen, polyvinyl pyrrolidone as the modifier, N, N-dimethylacetamide as the solvent, and the hol ow fiber dialysis membrane was prepared using nonsolvent-induced phase separation. The performance was measured using scanning electron microscopy, ultra-depth three-dimensional microscope imaging and porosity test;the transfer parameters including reject rate and water flux were detected by ultrafiltration device;the blood compatibility was determined through hemolysis test, dynamic clotting time test and platelet adhesion test. Type II medical polyurethane material served as negative control. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The section of hol ow fiber dialysis membrane was asymmetric. 17%dialysis membrane showed a porous middle layer, while 19%, 21%and 23%membrane showed a sponge-like middle layer. Under the same membrane area, the density of fiber dialysis membrane was significantly lower than that of the negative control material, and the porosity of fiber dialysis membrane was significantly higher than that of the negative control material (P<0.05). The water volume and water flux of the hol ow fiber dialysis membrane were significantly higher than those of the negative control material (P<0.05). Results from three hemolytic tests showed that the average absorbance values and hemolysis rate of the hol ow fiber dialysis membrane were significantly higher than those of the negative control material (P<0.05). The dynamic clotting time test and the platelet adhesion test revealed that the dynamic clotting time of hol ow fiber dialysis membrane at 20, 40 and 70 minutes was significantly shorter than that of the negative control material (P<0.05). These results suggest that polysiloxane can be used as the membrane material to prepare hol ow fiber dialysis membrane using nonsolvent-induced phase separation, and holds a good biocompatibility, blood compatibility and transfer efficiency.

Objective: To study the effects of vitamin E and selenium on apoptosis and c-Myc expression in human leukemia cells. Methods: DNA gel electrophoresis and Northern blotting hybridization were used to detect the apoptosis and the expression of c-Myc gene, respectively. Human leukemia cell line HL-60 and K562 were cultured in vitro. Results: The apoptosis of HL-60 and K562 cells were induced after being exposed to vitamin E (100 ?mol/L) and selenium (8 ?mol/L) for 24 hours, respectively. In HL-60 cell line, c-Myc mRNA was down-regulated significantly by vitamin E(100 ?mol/L),but not selenium(8 ?mol/L).In contrast, the expression of c-Myc gene was repressed by selenium(8 ?mol/L) and not by vitamin E(100 ?mol/L) in K562 cell. Conclusion: Our observations suggest that c-Myc down-regulation and induction of apoptosis by selenium and vitamin E are important pathways in repressing leukemia cell proliferation.The results suggest there are different mechanisms of repressing leukemia cell proliferation for selenium and vitamin E.

Sleep quality is closely related to human health. It is very important to correctly discriminate the sleep stages for evaluating sleep quality, diagnosing and analyzing the sleep-related disorders. Polysomnography (PSG) signals are commonly used to record and analyze sleep stages. Effective feature extraction and representation is one of the most important steps to improve the performance of sleep stage classification. In this work, a collaborative representation (CR) algorithm was adopted to re-represent the original extracted features from electroencephalogram sig- nal, and then the kernel entropy component analysis (KECA) algorithm was further used to reduce the feature dimension of CR-feature. To evaluate the performance of CR-KECA, we compared the original feature, CR feature and readied CR feature (CR-PCA) after principal component analysis (PCA). The experimental results of sleep stage classification indicated that the CR-KECA method achieved the best performance compared with the original feature, CR feature, and CR-PCA feature with the classification accuracy of 68.74 +/- 0.46%, sensitivity of 68.76 +/- 0.43% and specificity of 92.19 +/- 0.11%. Moreover, CR algorithm had low computational complexity, and the feature dimension after KECA was much smaller, which made CR-KECA algorithm suitable for the analysis of large-scale sleep data.

OBJECTIVETo explore treatment effect of the locking plate percutaneous external fixation to tibial fractures.
METHODSFrom July 2010 to February 2013, 8 cases with pediatric tibial fractures were treated by using unilateral locking plate percutaneous external fixation,including 6 males and 2 females with an average age of 7 years old ranging from 4 to 10. Among them, 5 cases were open fractures involving 1 case of Gustilo-Anderson type II, 3 cases of type III A, 1 case of type III B; and the other 3 cases were closed fractures involving 2 cases of AO type A3, 1 cases of type B2. The postoperative bone healing and gait impact were observed and the function was evaluated by Johner-Wruhs scores.
RESULTSAll fractures healed successfully without infection. The fracture healing time was from 3 to 6 months with an average of 3.9 months. The locking plate removal time was from 4 to 7 months with an average of 4.3 months. Among them, 7 cases were visually normal after walking with stand, 1 case of anterior tibial tendon defect affected gait. The results of Johner-Wruhs assessment were excellent in 7 cases, good in 1 case. No rub contralateral medial calf skin wounds occurenced.
CONCLUSIONThe method is simple, stable and reliable. The fixation strength is suitable for children using locking plate percutaneous external fixation. The postoperative functional recovery was excellent and the walking gait was less affected. But the point of LCP pedicle screw should be carefully selected before installation with good skin coverage.
