1.Progress of neonatal diabetes mellitus
International Journal of Pediatrics 2011;38(6):606-608
Neonatal diabetes mellitus ( NDM ),which was often misdiagnosed as type 1 diabetes in the past,is a heterogenous single-gene genetic disease.Permanent neonatal diabetes( PNDM )is mainly associated with mutation in KCNJ11,ABCC8,and insulin associated gene instead of immunity.The most common manifestation includes diabetic ketoacidosis,intrauterine growth retardation and dehydration.Gene examination contributes to the classification of NDM and corresponding targeted therapy.Oral sulfonylurea may be used in treating patients with gene mutation of ATP-sensitive K+ channel.

Objective To dynamically observe and evaluate the position and movement of pelvic floor organs in vaginal delivery primipara with translabial two-dimensional(2D) ultrasound,and to provide the imaging basis for the effects of pregnancy and vaginal delivery on the pelvic floor support structures.Methods Translabial 2D ultrasound was performed on 52 vaginal delivery postpartum women (postpartum group) and 43 normal women as control group to observe the position and movement of pelvic floor organs at rest,on pelvic muscle contraction and during maximum Valsalva maneuver.Results The location of urethrovesical junction and cervix were significantly lower in postpartum group compared with the control group at three stages.The movement of urethrovesical junction and cervix in vertical direction was greater in postpartum group than control group during maximum Valsalva maneuver,while was smaller on pelvic floor contraction.Conclusions Translabial 2D ultrasound could dynamically observe and evaluate the position and movement of pelvic floor organs.Pregnancy and vaginal delivery produce certain effect on pelvic floor support structures,which manifest as weak,defective and dysfunction.The impact was more obvious in anterior and middle compartments.

Objective To explore the application of the ultrasonic cardiac output monitor(USCOM) in the children with pneumonia complicated with heart failure.Methods Fourteen children with pneumonia complicated with heart failure were enrolled in the experimental group and thirty-two children with common pneumonia were enrolled in the control group.We used the USCOM to measure the cardiac output indicators,including the aortic peak velocity,heart rate,stroke volume index,cardiac index,ejection time and correcting ejection time.Results The heart rate in the experimental group was faster than that of control group[(174 ±10) beats/min vs (133 ± 14) beats/min,P <0.05],the aortic peak velocity in the experimental group was lower than that of control group [(1.246 ±0.234) m/s vs (1.449 ±0.300) m/s,P <0.05],the stroke volume index in the experimental group was lower than that of control group [(29.357 ± 6.500) ml/m2 vs (40.188 ±5.337) ml/m2,P <0.05],and the correcting ejection time in the experimental group was shorter than that of control group [(342.560 ± 8.219) ms vs (354.430 ± 16.500) ms,P < 0.05].Conclusion The cardiac function monitoring by USCOM is accurate and convenient,and USCOM can provide the accurate evidence for the clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of translabial two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound for female anterior pelvic floor dysfunction,and to discuss the ultrasound appearance of anterior pelvic floor dysfunction.Methods Translabial 2D ultrasound was performed on 63 patients who were diagnosed or suspected with anterior pelvic floor dysfunction using pelvic organ prolapse quantitation system,the position and mobility of bladder neck,the retrovesical angle and urethral rotation were measured during maximum Valsalva maneuver.Different types of anterior pelvic floor dysfunction diseases were diagnosed according to the ultrasound findings.Results Translabial 2D ultrasound diagnose different types of anterior pelvic floor dysfunction diseases based on the position and mobility of bladder neck,retrovesical angle and urethral rotation,including 15 cases bladder neck hypermobility,9 cases funneling of the bladder neck and 37 cases cystocele.Conclusions Translabial 2D ultrasound could provide useful information of anterior pelvic floor and is of great value in the diagnosis of female anterior pelvic floor dysfunction.

Objective To assess the value of tomographic ultrasound imaging (TUI) for prenatal analysis of the relative orientation of fetal heart and great arteries. Methods Volume datasets acquired from 12 patients of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and 13 normal fetal heart were evaluated offline with TUI. The aortic valves (AV) and pulmonary valves (PV) were respectively showed on the two parallel slices. According to the pivot point in the middle of the PV in one slice, the relative orientation of the AV on another slices were analyzed. Results In the 12 patients of TGA confirmed postnatally, 7 were concomitant with single ventricle anomaly, AV was on the anterior-right orientation of the PV in 5, and was relatively on the anterior and anterior-left orientation in other 2 of them.In the remained 5 with seeming normal 4 chamber view, AV was found on the anterior-right of the PV in 3, and was relatively on the anterior and upright orientation.in other 2 patients. In 13 normal fetuses, TUI showed that all AV located on the posterior-right orientation to the PV. Conclusion TUI can provide detailed spatial information of the great arteries both in normal and abnormal fetal heart. It may be a convenient and veracious tool for prenatal exploring the morphology of the great arteries.

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of RXRγ and RARβ on the growth of human gastric carcinoma cell line SGC7901 treated by RXR agonist(9-cis-RA). Methods:The human gastric carcinoma cell line SGC7901 was treated with 9-cis-RA, and then the morphological changes were observed by H-E staining. The cell growth was detected by MTT assay. The apoptosis and the cell cycle progression were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expressions of RXRγ and RARβ were detected by immunocytochemistry staining and western-blot assay. Results: HE stain showed that the SGC7901 cells were sparser with the increasing concentration of 9-cis-RA. The growth of SGC7901 cell was inhibited by 9-cis-RA at the concentration of 20 μmol/L in time and dose depended manner. The apoptotic rate of the tumor cells increased after 72 hours at the concentration of 20 μmol/L 9-cis-RA and the tumor cells were arrested in G0/G1 phase. Immunocytochemistry and Western-blot assay showed that the expressions of RXRγ and RARβ increased after 72 hours, compared with those of negative control group. Conclusion: RXR agonist 9-cis-RA can inhibit the growth of SGC7901 cells via inducing cell apoptosis through upgrading the expressions of RXRγ and RARβ.

OBJECTIVEThrough a simulation of interstitial fluid pressure (IFP), we developed an in vitro model to explore the change law of biological characteristics of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) under different IFP.
METHODSA pressure cooker was refitted into a controllable pressure device. Cultured ACC-2 cells were subdivided into different groups, namely, negative control (untreated ACC-2) and experimental group (stressed for 3, 6, 12, 24 h under pressure of 7.551, 7.649, 7.747 kPa). CCK-8 and immunofluorescence of Ki67 were used to reflect proliferation ability. Transwell chamber assay was performed to observe the invasion ability of cells.
RESULTSThe proliferation ability was positively correlated with treatment time, and the peak value was obtained after the cells were subjected to 7.649 kPa of stress for 24 h. The invasion ability of ACC-2 cells was upregulated under stress.
CONCLUSIONWe successfully developed an in vitro model of IFP and found that high IFP can stimulate cell proliferation ability and upregulate invasion ability.
