Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2017;30(3):310-314
Nonsyndromic cleft of lip with or without palate ( NSCL/P ) is one of the most common congenital birth defects in the maxillofacial region and it is related to genetic factors and environment .Folic acid deficiency , metabolic disorder and the genetic polymorphisms of key metabolic enzymes may be the important factors contributing to NSCL /P .Maternal folic acid intake may reduce the risk of non syndrome cleft lip and palate .This article will review the relationship among the metabolism of folic acid , the genetic polymorphisms of key enzymes in folate metabolism and NSCL /P .

Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2017;37(9):114-115,117
Objective To investigate the effect of methylprednisolone pulse therapy on spinal nerve functions in patients with acute spinal cord injury (ASCI) and evaluate its safety. Methods 200 patients with ASCI treated in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2016 were selected and were randomly divided into two groups,with 100 cases each group. The patients in control group were treated with routine basic treatment while patients in the study group were treated with methylprednisolone pulse therapy. On the basis of the American spinal cord injury Society scoring criteria (ASIA), the neurological functional recovery scores were performed were scored before and 6 weeks after treatment between the two groups and the adverse reactions were recorded. Results The scores of sensory and motor function of the patients in the two groups were higher than those before the treatment and there was statistical difference (P<0.05), and the scores in the study group was significantly higher than those in the control group, and the difference between the two grouPs was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group (25.00%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (10.00%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of lung infection and gastrointestinal reaction in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group and there were statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Methylprednisolone pulse therapy has significant effect on the recovery of neurological function in patients with ASCI, but the incidence of adverse reactions is high, so it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and intervention in clinic.

Purpose: To investigate the expression of Survivin gene and its relationship with expression of Caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma-2( Bcl-2) in human non-small-cell lung carcinoma( NSCLC) . Methods: Expression of the Survivin mRNA was evaluated by in situ hybridization (ISH) in 13 normal bronchial epithelium, 11 dysplasia, 54 NSCLC and 12 lymph node metastasis. Immunohistochemical assay was used to detect the expression of Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 proteins. Results: Expression of Survivin was detected in a significantly greater proportion in NSCLC (74. 07%) and lymph node metastasis (91. 67%) than normal bronchial epithelium (7. 69%) and dysplasia ( 27. 27%) (P

Objective To approach the medicine-Schisandraceae-protective actions to the mice of experimental Kidney Yin deficiency from different angles. Method To observe the level of SOD and OFR in the female rats ovary tissue in order to prove the medicine’s curative effect. Result Schisandraceae can obviously increase the SOD and decrease the OFR to experimental Kidney Yin deficiency mice. Conclusion Schisandraceae has very obviously protective action to experimental Kidney Yin deficiency by influencing content of SOD and OFR of female mice ovary tissue.

Objective: To explore the personality traits in the people at high risk for schizophrenia.Methods: 188 individuals at high risk for schizophrenia,and 321 normal controls were assessed by Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire(SPQ).Results: The score of negative schizotypal dimension in SPQ in the individuals at high risk was higher than in the normal controls.Conclusion: The people at high risk for schizophrenia have negative schizotypal personality traits which may represent a genetic endophenotype for schizophrnia.

Delicacy management proves a pressing need in cost management of medical service items in the current hospital operation.This paper first covered the methodology and system of hospital costing.It went on to describe the costing for four major medical service items in a quarter in 2011 using the activity-based costing method with the ultrasonographic section of a large hospital as an example.The outcomes were compared to the traditional costing method and the statutory pricing standards,resulting in the proposal and recommendation on reforming the costing methodology of service item pricing,and applying the activity-based costing management of medical service items in the hospital.

Our college has applied French-English analogy-educating method ( trilingual education )to the medicinal French bilingual-educating course by means of the interactions of different languages. As the kin relations between English and French in the axea of medicine, as well as their interactions from the origin to the modem medical applications, it can be an effective method to use analogy-educating method in the French study course in medicine, which means that the multi-lingual interactions can be used in the bilingual, even the multi-lingual educating activities of bilinguai educating process of other subjects.

Objective To investigate the effects of lappaconitine on the perioperative immune function.Methods Twenty-four ASA I or II patients aged 23-64 yr undergoing elective radical mastectomy (8 patients),iaminectomy and vertebral canal decompression (8 patients) or femoral head replacement (8 patients ) were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=12 each): control group (C) and lappaconitine group (L).In group L ondansetron 4 mg was given IV and lappaconitine 8 mg was infused IV over 30 rain before induction of anesthesia.In group C equal volume of normal saline was infused instead of lappaconitine.Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol,remifentanil and rocuronium.Lappaconitine 0.28 mg/ml was continuously infused at 2 ml/h after induction of anesthesia in group L.When the patients recovered from anesthesia after operation,PCA with 0.28 mg/ml lappaconitine was started (background infusion 2 ml/h,bolus dose 0.5 ml and lockout interval 15 min).In group C pethidine 50 mg and droperidol 2.5 mg were given IM on demand.Venous blood samples were taken at 30 rain before induction of anesthesia(T1,baseline),immediately (T2) and at 24 h(T3) and 48 h (T4)after operation for determination of TNF-α,IL-2,IFN-γ and sIL-6R concentration by ELISA.CD3,CD4,CD8 and NK cell expression was determined using flow cytometry and the ratio of CD4/CD8 was calculated.The concentrations of IgA,IgM,IgG,CD3 and CD4 were determined by radioimmunoassay.Results Plasma SIL-6R and TNF-α concentrations were significantly lower while IL-2,IgA,IgG,IgM concentrations and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher after operation in group L than in group C.Conclusion Lappaconitine can improve perioperafive humoral immune function thus contributing to its analgesic and anfi-inflammatory effects.

Objective To investigate the effects of penehyclidine (PHCD) pretreatment on nuclear factor kappa B ( NF-kB ) activity during lipopolysaccharide ( LPS )-induced acute lung injury ( ALl ) in neonate rats.Methods Thirty 7-day old Wistar rats of both sexes weighing 18-21 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n =10 each): group Ⅰ control (group C); group Ⅱ LPS; group Ⅲ PHCD. Group Ⅱ and Ⅲ received intraperitoneal ( group IP) LPS 3 mg/kg. In group Ⅲ PHCD 5 mg/kg was administered IP at 30 min before LPS respectively. The animals were killed at 4 h after LPS administration. The lungs were immediately removed. The W/D lung weight ratio was measured. The TNF-α, IL-1 βand IL-10 content in the lung were detected by ELISA and expression of NF-kB p65 was detected by immuno-histochemical staining.Results LPS significantly increased W/D lung weight ratio, TNF-α, IL-1 β, IL-10 content and NF-kB p65 expression in the lung as compared with control group. PHCD administered before LPS significantly attenuated the LPS-induced changes. Electron microscopy showed that PHCD before LPS significandy ameliorated the LPS-induced histological damages. Conclusion Pretreatment with PHCD can attenuate LPS-induced acute lung injury though inhibition of NF-kB activation and inflammatory response of lung tissue in neonate rats.
