Objective To evaluate the value of systemic ultrasound examination in prenatal diagnosis of fetus skeletal system anomaly combined with chromosomal abnormalities. Methods In 12 146 patients examined by systemic ultrasound in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from 2006 to 2013, 21 fetus with skeletal system abnormalities and chromosomal abnormalities were included in the study. And the correlation between skeletal system abnormalities and chromosomal abnormalities in fetus was evaluated. Results This study involves 21 cases of abnormal fetal skeletal system combined with chromosomal abnormalities. Among them, there were 5 cases of trisomy-21, 11 cases of trisomy-18, 3 cases of trisomy-13, 1 case of [46, XYt (6, 9)], and 1 case of (46, XY, 6 q-). In 19 cases, other system malformations were found, including nervous system abnormalities, facial deformity, cardiac structural abnormalities and intrauterine retardation. In the rest 2 cases, skeletal system abnormalities were the only structural malformation detected on prenatal ultrasound examination. Conclusion Systemic ultrasound can't only detect fetal skeletal system abnormalities but also provide clues for specific chromosomal abnormalities, which was useful in optimizing prenatal diagnosis.

Background There is multi-dimensional order of spatial stereopsis perception in human,however,current stereopsis examination is zero-order of position disparity.A multi-dimensional space perception model is very important for the detection of stereoacuity.Objective This study was to screen the deficit of zero-order,first-order,second-order multi-dimensional spatial stereopsis perception in amblyopia and strabismus children and to explore the association of zero-order,first-order,second-order spatial perception deficit.Methods Multidimensional spacial perception was examined in 79 children aged 4-14 years in Beijing Children' s Hospital.Nineteen normal children,19 children with ametropia amblyopia,12 children with anisometropic amblyopia,18 children with strabismus and 11 children with strabismus combined amblyopia were included this study.The random-dot and line spatial stereopsis perception in zero-order,first-order and second-order were examined with a new system of multidimensional space perception screening.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject or custodian before any ocular examination associated with this study.Results Absence of zero-order,first-order,second-order random-dot channel was found in 24 children (24/79,30.4％),18 children (18/79,22.8％) and 24 children (24/79,30.4％) respectively,with an average percentage of 27.9％.Absence of zero-order,first-order,second-order line channel was examined in 37 children (37/79,46.8％),37 children (37/79,46.8％),32 children (32/79,40.5％),with an average percentage of 44.7％.In the children with a deficiency of the zero-order spatial perception,the children who still remained the first-order or/and second-order spatial perception of random-dot accounted for 41.6％ and that of lines accounted for 43.2％.In children without deficiency of zero-order random-dot or lines spatial space perception,deficiency of first-order and/or second-order spatial perception was in 37.5％ children.Various order spatial perception deficiency was seen in children suffering from amblyopia or strabismus compared with normal group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There exists spatial perception deficiency in children with amblyopia or strabismus.The patients with zero-order spatial perception absence partially remain a first-order or/and second-order spatial perception;while the patients with normal zero-order spatial perception might have first-order or second-order spatial perception deficiency.The multi-dimensional space perception model has a directive role for the training of visual information process and the treatment of spatial perceptual learning in children with amblyopia or strabismus.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the immunological activity of Streptomyces polysaccharide (SMP) on normal and immunosuppressed mice.

Objective To explore the mechanism of anti-tumor effects of transferring tumor-specif-ic lymphocytes obtained from pre-immunized BALB/c mice with inactive rolL-21 tumor vaccine (mIL-21-Sp2/0)to syngeneic mice, associated with mIL-21 tumor vaccine immunization, in the condition of cyclo-phosphamide (Cy)-induced lymphopenia. Methods Activated lymphocytes of spleen and lymph nodes ob-tained from pre-immunlzed syngeneic mice with irradiated mIL-21-Sp2/0 cells were infused into BALB/cmice treated with Cy 2 days before, subsequently vaccinated with mlL-21 tumor vaccine, after 7 days, chal-lenged with Sp2/0 tumor cells, observed the growth of tumor of mice. T lymphocyte subsets differentiation was measured by flow cytometry (FCM) analysis. The proliferation and cytotoxie activities of activated lym-phocytes were analyzed by FCM, respectively, staining with CFSE and 7-AAD. The number of IFN-γ-secre-ting cells was evaluated by ELISPOT. Results The lymphopenic mice were transferred with activated lym-phocytes and inoculated with raiL-21 tumor vaccine might provide superior anti-tumor immunoprotection, re-tard tumor growth of the mice. The proliferating capabilities and killing rate of transferred tumor Ag-specific lymphocytes enhanced obviously, the number of IFN-γ-secreting cells was significantly higher compared with the control groups. Conclusion Under Cy-induced lymphopenia condition, tumor Ag-specific lymphocytes sensitized by raiL-21 tumor vaccine were transferred to mice and immunized with mlL-21 tumor vaccine at the same time, benefit the proliferation of transferred effective cells and immune cells itself, assist to form and sustain special anti-tumor effects.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza on renal morphology and renal function of rats with streptozotocin diabetes. METHODS: Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups, which were normal control group, untreated group and Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group. Diabetic nephropathy was induced in rats of the last two groups by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin after unilateral nephrectomy. Then the rats in the normal control and untreated groups were fed with normal saline while those in the Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group were fed Salvia miltiorrhiza preparation for 8 weeks. The glomerular volume (VG), kidney-to-body weight ratio (KW/BW), urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and creatinine clearance (Ccr) were observed. The expression levels of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), fibronectin (FN) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) at the end of the experiment. RESULTS: UAER, Ccr, VG and KW/BW ratio were significantly higher in the untreated group than those in the normal control group (P<0.05). The expression levels of TGF-beta1, CTGF, PAI-1 and FN in the untreated group were also significantly higher as compared with those in the normal control group (P<0.05). UAER, Ccr, VG, KW/BW ratio and the levels of TGF-beta1, CTGF, PAI-1 and FN in the Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group were obviously lower than those in the untreated group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Salvia miltiorrhiza can protect rats with streptozotocin diabetes from diabetic nephropathy by suppressing the over-expressions of TGF-beta1, CTGF, PAI-1 and FN in renal cortex.
