Objective To discuss the clinical feature of cholestasis preterm infants who have used parenteral nutrition early after birth,and analyze the relative factors and preventive meatures of parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the preterm infants who were born and hospitalized at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January,2011 to April,2016.There were 89 cases in total that used at least 2 weeks of parenteral nutrition in the early stage after birth and were developed to cholestasis afterwards.We divided 89 cases into PNAC group and multifactor group:the former was corresponded to PNAC diagnosis standards,accounting for41 cases (46.07％);the latter with other etiology in addition to parenteral nutrition accounts for 48 cases.The clinical characteristics were studied and analyzed using case-control method.Results The sex ratio of premature cholestasis was 2.18:1,the mean gestational age was (31.05 ±2.15) weeks,the mean birth weight was (1360.55 ±421.14) g,and the mean using-time of parenteral nutrition was (26.22 ± 9.78) d.Futhermore,PNAC group was divided into hepatitis group and non-hepatitis group according to the alanine aminotransferase level,and they both had statistical significance in gestational age,starting time of parenteral nutrition,appearance time of jaundice,enteral feeding time,starting dose of amino acid,maximum dose of fat emulsion (P ＜ 0.05).We divided them into long-term group (≥20 d) and short-term group (＜ 20 d) according to the using time of parenteral nutrition.The level of alanine aminotransferase,glutamic oxalacetic transaminase,total bilirubin,direct bilirubin and bile acid of longterm group was higher than those of short-term group,but with P≥0.05.The multifactor group was mostly accompanied with multiple infections in the order of bacterial infection (75.0％),fungal infection (20.83％),cytomegalovirus infection (8.33％) and syphilis infection (2.08％),etc.The other complication's incidence rate of PNAC group and multifactor group had no statistical significance.In terms of prognosis,the liver function of two group improved remarkably than before,with PNAC group having more significance (P ＜0.05).Conclusion PNAC is the major factor of preterm cholestasis,and the degree of liver damage of PNAC preterm was related to starting time of parenteral nutrition,using time of parenteral nutrition,enteral feeding time,starting dose of amino acid and maximum dose of fat emulsion.The liver function of PNAC group is recovered obviously through regulatory treatment,and it possesses a better prognosis than multifactorgroup.

Objective To explore predictive factors of early-onset complications in children with acute bacterial meningitis.Method Retrospective study was made on clinical data and predictive factors of early-onset complications of 75 children with acute bacterial meningitis who were treated in our hospital during 2000-2005.Results The incidence of early-onset complications in children with acute bacterial meningitis was 50.7%,subdural effusions and hydrocephalus occured freqiently.The incidence of early-onset complications were closely correlated with onset age,coma,seizure,cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) protein concentration and CSF glucose concentration.Onset age younger than 12 months(OR=11.876,95% CI:2.592-54.33 P

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of three primers on the shear bond strength between cast titanium (Ti) and composite resin.

METHODSThe disks (n = 40) were cast by commercially pure (CP) Ti, which diameter were 8 mm and thick were 3 mm. The titanium surfaces were polished with silicon carbide sand papers under running water and then treated by sandblasting and acid (4%HF) etching. They were divided into four groups: control group (group A), treated with KH-570 (group B), treated with Alloy Primer (group C), treated with Metal photo primer (group D). After treatment, the specimens were evaluated for their shear bond strengths by universal testing machine. The values were statistically analyzed. The fractured surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

RESULTSThe shear bond strengths of group A, B, C, D were (9.773 +/- 0.67), (11.463 +/- 0.82), (14.224 +/- 0.75), (13.157 +/- 0.73) MPa. There were significant differences in bond strength between A and B, C, D (P < 0.01). B and C, D had significant differences (P < 0.01). C and D had no significant differences (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONKH-570, Alloy Primer, Metal photo primer significantly improve the bond strength of ceramage composite resin to cast titanium. KH-570 group bonding strength is lower than the the Alloy Primer group and Metal photo primer group.

Objective: To explore the early diaghostic value of thyroid hormone level in patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Methods: Our work included 4 groups:①Normal control group, n=40,②Impaired left ventricular diastolic function
group, n=40,③Failure of left ventricular diastolic function group, n=41 and④Impaired left ventricular systolic function group, n=40. The cardiac function was assessed by color Doppler lfow imaging and tissue Doppler imaging for the early diastolic mitral lfow velocity (E), the peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity (Em) and the ratio of E/Em. The blood levels of NT-proBNP and FT3, FT4, TSH, rT3 were examined in clinical laboratory.
Results: Blood levels of FT3 and rT3 were different in pair wise comparison among 4 groups, P<0.05, and FT4 and NT-proBNP were different in pair wise comparison among 4 groups, except for Normal control group and Impaired left ventricular diastolic function group, P<0.05. The TSH level was similar among 4 groups, P>0.05. The ratio of E/Em was negatively related to FT3 (r=-0.724, P<0.05) and FT4 (r=-0.49, P<0.05), while positively related to rT3 (r=0.87, P<0.05) and NT-proBNP (r=0.83, P<0.05).
Conclusion: The changes of thyroid hormone level may exist in patients with impaired diastolic function and it may vary with the severity of the cardiac dysfunction. Blood levels of NT-proBNP with thyroid hormone might be used as a reference index for early diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction.
