Objective To investigate the clinical value of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram on early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of brain injury caused by neonatal asphyxia.Methods A total of 34 full-term asphyxiated neonates(asphyxia group)hospitalized in NICU of our hospital from January 2015 to September 2015 were selected;meanwhile,34 full-term healthy infants(control group)of the same term were selected.All cases were monitored for the activities of aEEG background,sleep-awakening cycle(SWC)and epileptic activity(SA)within 6 hours after birth.Meanwhile,the relationships between various indexes and asphyxia degree and brain injury were analyzed.Results The electroencephalogram of the asphyxia group was 52.9％and the rate of SWC was 58.8％,which were lower than those of the control group,and the difference had statistic significance(P<0.05).Meanwhile,neonates with epileptic activity in asphyxia group accounted for 11.8％,which was higher than that of control group significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion The AEEG changes of neonates at early period after birth are closely related to perinatal asphyxia and brain injury after asphyxia.The application of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram has an important significance on early diagnosis of neonatal asphyxia.

Objective:To explore the evaluation value of abnormal muscle response (AMR) monitoring in efficacy of microvascular decompression in primary hemifacial spasm.Methods:A retrospective study was performed. Sixty-four patients with primary hemifacial spasm, admitted to our hospital from April 2019 to December 2020, were chosen. All patients underwent intraoperative AMR monitoring and were divided into AMR complete-disappeared group, AMR significant-changed group and AMR not significant-changed group according to the monitoring results. The relief of spasticity symptoms among the three groups was observed one week and one year after surgery. The specificity and sensitivity of AMR monitoring in evaluating the efficacy, the relations between intraoperative AMR changes and postoperative efficacy after microvascular decompression were analyzed.Results:The specificity and sensitivity of AMR monitoring in predicting spasmodic relief after microvascular decompression were 89.7% and 66.7%, respectively, at one week, and 86.7% and 50.0%, respectively, at one year. There were statistical differences in clinical remission rate one week after microvascular decompression among AMR complete-disappeared group ( n=46), AMR significant-changed group ( n=8) and AMR not significant-changed group ( n=10, P<0.05); there were no significant differences in clinical remission rate one year after microvascular decompression among the three groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in clinical remission rate one week and one year after microvascular decompression between patients having AMR complete disappearance before Teflon and patients having AMR complete disappearance after Teflon ( P>0.05). Conclusion:AMR monitoring has high specificity but modest sensitivity in predicting spasmodic relief after microvascular decompression; intraoperative AMR disappearance is associated with short-term efficacy, but it is not a reliable indicator for long-term efficacy; the time of disappearance of intraoperative AMR has no guiding significance in judging the efficacy of patients with primary hemifacial spasm.

Objective:To investigate expression profiles of the plasma exosomal miRNAs of the chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with persistently normal alamine aminotransferase (PNALT) for the first time and try to find exosomal miRNAs which could reflect liver inflammation better.Methods:Five CHB patients with liver tissue inflammation grade ≥A2 of PNALT and 5 CHB patients with liver tissue inflammation grade ＜A2 of PNALT were enrolled and their blood samples were collected.The exosomes were extracted from these blood samples and measured by electron microscope to determine the extraction effect.The exosomal miRNAs were extracted and sent for high throughput sequencing,and the expression of exosomal miRNAs in the 2 groups of patients was analyzed.Results:Under the electron microscope,exosomes were small membranous vesicles with 30-100 nm in diameter.The peak value of particle size ranged from 10 to 100 nm.High throughput sequencing showed that there were 591 differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs between the 2 groups.Compared with the control group,18 exosomal miRNAs were up-regulated and 6 exosomal miRNAs were down-regulated in PNALT patients with the liver tissue inflammation grade ≥ A2.Conclusion:Exosomal miRNAs in the CHB patients with PNALT who have the different grades of liver inflammation are differently expressed.Some of the differently expressed exosomal miRNAs are expected to be sensitive biomarkers for timely assessment of liver inflammation in the CHB patients with PNALT.

Objective To investigate the factors affecting the prognosis of posterior communicating artery aneurysm (PCoA) to provide theoretical foundation for treatment of PCoA.Methods The clinical data of 308 patients with PCoA,admitted to our hospital from January 1997 to June 2013,were studied retrospectively.With the therapeutic effect as the dependent variable,Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine 13 factors those potentially affected the outcomes of the patients.Results The patient's gender,side and size of PCoA,position and pointing of PCoA,timing of surgery and rupture or not during operation did not affect the outcomes of the patients (patient's age,gender,times of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH),Hunt-Hess grade,preoperative condition of consciousness,side and size of PCoA,position and pointing of PCoA,timing of surgery,rupture or not during operation,degrees of SAH and postoperative complications).But univariate analysis showed that the patient's age (P=0.003),times of SAH (P=0.005),Hunt-Hess grade (P=0.000),preoperative consciousness situation (P=0.003),degree of SAH (P=0.001) and postoperative complications (P=0.000) were the independent risk factors affecting the postoperative outcomes; whereas the Hunt-Hess grade and postoperative complications are fundamental risk factors that affected the postoperative effects (OR=14.330,P=0.000,95％CI:2.005-102.396; OR=19.445,P=0.004,95％CI:2.513-150.442).Conclusion Preoperative Hunt-Hess grade and postoperative complications are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients; through analysis of these factors,the prognosis of patients can be broadly determined,thus the treatment of PCoA can be further guided and level of clinical treatment can be improved.

Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of intrathecal administration of adipose stem cells de-rived from bioactive secretome (ASCBS)in treatment of whiter matter injury (WMI)in the preterm infants. Methods Sixty - three cases of WMI were recruited according to the uniform standards from multiple medical centers and they were divided into 3 gestational age (GA)subgroups,which were 21 cases in group A (GA 24 - 28 + 6 ),20 cases in group B (GA 29 - 32 + 6 ),and 22 cases in group C (GA 33 - 36 + 6 ). The patients were randomly divided into treatment groups and control groups by tossing coins. The treatment groups received lumbar puncture followed with ASCBS intra-thecal injection once daily for 3 consecutive days. Follow - up study included Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assess-ment (NBNA)at term - equivalent age and neurodevelopment at corrected age of 6 - month. Neurodevelopment was assessed by using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development and Peabody Developmental Motor Scale. The survival rates, NBNA scores,mental development index (MDI),psychomotor develop index (PDI),total motor development quotient, gross motor development quotient and fine motor development among each subgroup were compared. Results Sixty -three cases were recruited,including 31 in the treatment group and 32 in the control group. Only 1 case in the treatment groups lost in the follow - up. No clinical side effects were found in the treatment groups. There was no significant diffe-rence in the survival rate and complication in the preterms in all subgroups of the treatment group and control group (all P > 0. 05). The gross and total motor development quotient in the treatment group A was higher than that in the control group A(gross motor development quotient:98. 330 ± 6. 282 in treatment group A,90. 330 ± 3. 777 in control group A, P = 0. 040;total motor development quotient:97. 330 ± 4. 803 in treatment group A,91. 000 ± 4. 472 in control group A,P = 0. 023). The rest findings showed no significant difference between groups. Conclusion The treatment of WMI in preterm infants with ASCBS is safe and can promote the motor development of preterm infants with GA in 24 - 28 weeks.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of the construction of urban unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) blood distribution system, and to provide a novel way for the distribution of emergency blood.Methods:The study was completed in Hangzhou from April 2019 to January 2021, and the main participants were from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Zhejiang Province Blood Center and Hangzhou Fast Ant Network Technology Co., Ltd. Firstly, an unmanned aircraft delivery system was built for urban emergency blood and a special blood storage box for drones were developed. The drone was used to deliver blood products from Zhejiang Province Blood Center to Binjiang Campus, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, and the following indicators were obtained: (1) flight time of the drone blood delivery; (2) real-time temperature of blood products during transportation; (3) Baidu map software was used to measure the blood delivery time of road traffic, which was compared with the flight time of the drone.Results:The urban drone blood delivery system consists of intelligent logistics drones, cryogenic blood storage tanks, unmanned logistics hub stations, and cloud-based operation control platforms. The drone route distance from Zhejiang Provincial Blood Center to Binjiang Campus, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine was 2.36±0.06 km, and the ground distance was 5.8 km, with 27 flights from April 12, 2019 to January 29, 2021, and the drone flight time was, shorter than the road travel time for a round trip [(6.37±0.35) min vs. (17.00±1.94) min]. At different time points of the day, UAV blood delivery could save 15.98-4.28 min, with an average saving of 10.62±1.87 min. Conclusions:Urban UAV blood delivery systems have the advantages of being fast, unaffected by ground traffic conditions, and can ensure the safety of blood products during transportation, and are worthy of further exploration.

Development of thoracolumbar vertebra (TLV) and rib primordium (RP) is a common evolutionary feature across vertebrates, although whole-organism analysis of the expression dynamics of TLV- and RP-related genes has been lacking. Here, we investigated the single-cell transcriptome landscape of thoracic vertebra (TV), lumbar vertebra (LV), and RP cells from a pig embryo at 27 days post-fertilization (dpf) and identified six cell types with distinct gene expression signatures. In-depth dissection of the gene expression dynamics and RNA velocity revealed a coupled process of osteogenesis and angiogenesis during TLV and RP development. Further analysis of cell type-specific and strand-specific expression uncovered the extremely high level of HOXA10 3'-UTR sequence specific to osteoblasts of LV cells, which may function as anti-HOXA10-antisense by counteracting the HOXA10-antisense effect to determine TLV transition. Thus, this work provides a valuable resource for understanding embryonic osteogenesis and angiogenesis underlying vertebrate TLV and RP development at the cell type-specific resolution, which serves as a comprehensive view on the transcriptional profile of animal embryo development.
