Objective To evaluate urgent selective arterial embolization to treat massive postpartum hemorrhage. Methods Twenty seven patients with ages of 21～53 years undengoing severe postpartunm hemorrhage, were due to centrol placenta previa, uterine atony, birth canal trauma, placenta accretio, cervical pregnancy etc. All of the patients had lost a volume of blood about 1 000ml to 5 000ml while the hemorrhage could not be controlled with vaginal packing and administration of uterotonic drugs. Urgent hemostatic embolization was performed for them. After angiography, super selective catheterization was performed for bilateal anterior division of internal iliac branch of uterine arteries and embolized with Gelfoam particles. Results Catheterization success rate was 96.3%. Angiography showed ectopic uterine artery in one case. Immediate block of hemorrhage took place in 22 cases and gradual hemostasis appeared in 4 cases, the efficacy rate was 96.3%. The one with ectopic uterine artery was operated upon to ablate the uterus. 11 patients with (bleeding) shock and 8 patients with DIC were all saved. Conclusions Urgent arterial embolization is an ideal method for treating life threatening postpartum hemorrhage. The procedure saves the maternal uterus and is also effective for postpartum DIC.

Objective Fluctuation of glucose levels is more likely to cause oxidative stress which contributes to the development of insulin resistance through activating c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).Such antio xidants as vitamin C or vitamin E do not appear very helpful.Radix Astragali (RA) is an herbal medicine with antioxidative ability.The study was to explore whether RA would lower the risk of insulin resistance in diabetic rats.Methods Diabetic rats received RA,insulin or both RA and insulin after diabetes were induced in male Wistar rats.Serum levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα),advanced glycation endproducts(AGEs) levels in kidney,the expression of insulin receptor (IR),insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1),p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK),p-p38 MAPK,p-JNK,p-IRS-1 Ser307,and p-IRS-1 Tyr612 in skeletal muscles were determined.Results Compared to diabetic rats treated with insulin,the diabetic rats treated with both insulin and RA demonstrated significantly lower levels of IL-6,TNF-α and AGEs (P ＜ 0.05),significantly lower activation of p-p38 MAPK and JNK (P ＜0.05),significantly higher expressions of IRS-1 (P ＜0.05),p-IRS-1 Tyr612,and significantly lower expression of p-IRS-1 Ser307 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions RA can lower the risk of insulin resistance through fighting oxidative stress in diabetic rats.

OBJECTIVE: To study the combined transfection of the siRNA target for Hif-lα and Survivin gene to human NPC CNE-2 cell and its effects on the proliferation and cycle of this cell. METHOD: Combined transfection of the siRNA target for Hif-lα and Survivin gene to human NPC CNE-2 cell, these plasmids were respectively transfected into the same cells. Cell proliferation was detected with MTT assay. The inhibitory effects on target genes were evaluated with RT-PCR and Western Blot at the levels of mRNA and protein, respectively. RESULT: MTT showed that CNE-2 cell proliferation in multi-gene plasmid group was more significantly inhibited than a single gene. The expression of mRNA and protein of two different genes were both decreased in HS group, and the interference effect of multiple genes was better than the single-gene(P<0.01). CONCLUSION HS group could restrain cell proliferation and interference the mRNA and protein expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cell, which was better than the other groups.

Objective:To evaluate the middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity in children with electrical status epileptic during sleep (ESES) by transcranial Doppler (TCD)-video electroencephalography (VEEG), and analyze its clinical significance.Methods:The clinical data of 40 children with ESES (ESES group) in Zhangjiakou First Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2019 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The mean flow velocity of middle cerebral artery (MCA mean) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) flow fluctuation value during deep sleep were measured by TCD-VEEG, and the results were compared with 40 healthy children (healthy control group) during the same period. The relationship between MCA mean, MCA flow fluctuation value during deep sleep and clinical characteristics was analyzed by multivariate stepwise regression. Results:The MCA mean and MCA flow fluctuation value during deep sleep in ESES group were significantly higher than those in healthy control group: (17.87 ± 7.38)% vs. (2.07 ± 1.11)% and (92.92 ± 21.64) cm/s vs. (58.11 ± 8.04) cm/s, and there were statistical differences ( t = 13.389 and 9.536, P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in MCA mean and MCA flow fluctuation value during deep sleep in children with benign epilepsy with central temporal spinous wave (16 cases), benign epilepsy variant with central temporal spinous wave (13 cases) and acquired epileptic aphasia (11 cases) ( P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in MCA mean and MCA flow fluctuation value during deep sleep in children with multifocal epileptic foci (16 cases), bilateral asymmetric epileptic foci (16 cases) and bilateral synchronous symmetric epileptic foci (8 cases)( P>0.05). The MCA flow fluctuation value during deep sleep in children with absolute synchronization and fully generalized ESES (16 cases) was significantly higher than that in children with asymmetric ESES (24 cases): (22.37 ± 2.37)% vs. (15.37 ± 5.37)%, and there was statistical difference ( t = 4.890, P<0.01); there was no statistical difference in MCA mean during deep sleep between 2 types of children ( P>0.05). The MCA flow fluctuation value during deep sleep in children with non obvious cognitive impairment (14 cases), mild cognitive impairment (13 cases) and severe cognitive impairment (13 cases) was (14.21 ± 5.20)%, (17.97 ± 7.45)% and (22.10 ± 7.94)%, and there was statistical difference ( F = 4.376, P<0.05); there was no statistical difference in MCA mean during deep sleep in 3 types of children ( P>0.05). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis result showed that the MCA flow fluctuation value during deep sleep had positive correlation with the degree of cognitive impairment in children with ESES ( r = 0.391, P<0.05). Conclusions:The fluctuation value of MCA during deep sleep by TCD-VEEG examination is positively correlated with the degree of cognitive impairment in children with ESES, which may be a reliable way for clinical evaluation of the degree of cognitive impairment in children with ESES.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of two different conditioning regimens in nonmyeloablative autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (NAST) for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods Different conditioning regimens were used in two groups:cytarabin combined cyclophosphamide in group 1 and ATG combined cyclophosphamide in group 2.Different recovery time of leucocytes,neutrophils and platelets in the two groups were compared.Statistical analysis were carried out by paired t-test.Results The mean time for peripheral leucocytes reaching 1.0×109/L,neutrophils getting up to 0.5×109/L,platelet raising to 100×l09/L and hemoglobin rising to 120 g/L in group 1 were [(7.2±1.3),(8.0±1.5),(10.5±1.4),(22.1±2.3)days] and [(10.4±2.1),(12.0±1.9),(19.3±2.1),(28.1± 2.4)] days in group 2.The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).CD4+ cell count and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ of pre- and pro-NAST was changed.No significant differences were observed in the two groups.Conclusion For the sake of safety and hematopoietic reconstitution,we recommend cytarabin combined cyclophosphamide as the preferred conditioning regimen.
