Objective To investigate the relative risk factors of glucose metabolism disorder in newborn infants.Methods Clinical information of 791 newborns suffered from glucose metabolism disorders who had been hospitalized in NICU from Jan.2004 to May 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.Four hundred and thirty-nine cases presented with hypoglycemia,275 cases presented with hyperglycemia,and 77 cases presented with both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.Data of risk factors were processed with both ?2 test and multiple Logistic regression analysis.Results The statistic analysis showed that low birth weight[258 cases(58.77%)],asphyxia[217 cases(49.43%)],acidosis[146 cases(33.26%)],hypothermia[128 cases(29.16%)],maternal gestational hypertension[83 cases(18.91%)],pneumonia[63 cases(14.35%)],anomaly of placenta[35 cases(7.97%)],maternal diabetes[17 cases(3.87%)] and septicaemia[10 cases(2.28%)]were significant hypoglycemia risk factors(according to the level of morbidity).Pneumonia[98 cases(35.64%)],asphyxia[129 cases(27.23%)],hypoxemia[61 cases(22.18%)]and septicaemia[24 cases(8.73%)]were significant hyperglycemia risk factors.Acidosis[33 cases(42.86%)],pneumonia[27 cases(35.06%)]and maternal diabetes[6 cases(7.79%)] were significant risk factors for neonates with both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.Conclusion Dynamic monitoring of blood glucose concentration and reasonable adjustment is recommended for neonates with risk factors to lower morbility and mortality.

Objective:To prepare superparamagnetic iron oxide(SPIO) nanoparticles and to observe its acute toxicity on mice,so as to pave a way for further study on its long-term toxicity and on its role as a carrier in magnetic resonance gene imaging.Methods: The SPIO nanoparticle was obtained by means of co-precipitation,and its physical and chemical parameters were determined by transmission electron microscope,atomic force microscope,and 1.5 T super conduct MR,etc.According to the administration pathway and doses of SPIO,90 mice were divided into oral administration(with a total dose of 2 104.8 mg/kg and a volume of 40 ml/kg,n=30),intravenous injection(a total dose of 438.5 mg/kg and a volume of 25 ml/kg,n=30) and intraperitoneal injection(with a total dose 1 578.6 mg/kg and a volume of 30 ml/kg,n=30) groups.Another 10 mice in each group receiving the same dose of normal saline via the same pathway served as the controls(n=10).The general condition,the major serologic parameters,and the pathological changes of major organs were observed 14 d after administration in each group.Results: We have successfully prepared SPIO,and its core component was Fe3O4 crystal,with a size of 20-35 nm,a T2 relaxivity of 0.155?106 mol-1?sec-1,a specific saturated magnetization of 68.395 68 emu/g,and a retentivity of 21.463 74 Gs.There was no death of mice during the observation.There was no significant difference in serological parameters between mice of different groups and between each experiment group and their corresponding control group.No edema,degeneration and necrosis were seen in the liver,spleen,kidney,heart,and lungs by H-E staining and marrow by Wright staining;only a few blue particles were observed in the liver and spleen in the administration groups by Prussian blue staining,none observed in the control groups.Conclusion: SPIO prepared in the present study meets the requirement of MR imaging,with no acute toxicity to mice,and warrants further study for future MR gene imaging.

AIM To study toxicity of Safflor Yellew (SY) for vascular endothelic cell (VEC) and whether SY has antagonistic effect on platelet activating factor (PAF). METHODS Use light microscopical observation and crystal violet colorimetric method to study morphological and bioactivity change of HVEC and EVC 304 after incubated with PAF, SY, SY+PAF, Ginkolide,and Ginkolide+PAF. RESULTS Cultured with PAF 30 minutes, HVEC had histopathological changes: from fusiform, polygond squamous cell to ellipsoid, circular cell , not binding tightly, but separated by wide gap. As cultured with SY+PAF, cell's morphological changes just as same as PAF's group. And its bioactivity had tendency of decline. Either HVEC was incubated with SY (0.571 g?L -1 ) for 30 minutes or EVC 304 cultured with SY(1 143 g?L -1 ) for 4 hours, their morphology and bioactivity had changes. CONCLUSION SY do not inhibit PAF's injury effect. And high concentration SY has toxicity to cultured endothelic cell.

Objective To evaluate MR findings and clinical features in patients with spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH). Methods Eight patients (5 men, 3 women; aged 16-50 years ) with SSEH underwent MR imaging during 1994-2001, including 7 cases without history of trauma or coagulation disorders and 1 case with history of hypertension. MR imaging was performed from 4 hours to 3 days after the onset of symptoms in all 8 patients with surgical and pathologic diagnosis. Results The hematomas were in lateral posterior or posterior epidural space, including 3 cases in cervical vertebra, 2 cases in thoracic vertebra, 2 cases in cervical and thoracic junction region, and 1 case in thoracic and lumbar part. The MRI confirmed an encapsulated hematoma caused by arteriovenous malformation in 1 case and two hematomas associated with disc herniation. The signal intensity of the hematoma varied with the hematoma age, but T 1-weighted images reflected its typical signal changes. Sagittal and coronal T 1- weighted images revealed isointense (7 cases) and slight high-intense (1 case) signal; Sagittal and axial T 2-weighted images revealed mixed-intensity (6 cases) and mixed high-intensity (2 cases). Conclusion MR imaging has an important value on localization, identification, and differential diagnosis of the lesion, therefore, it is the most helpful diagnostic tool for this condition.

Objective To explore somatic symptoms of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) and effects of combined anti somatisation therapy on the quality of life in patients with FD.Methods Two hundred and nineteen patients with FD were enrolled.Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15) and Nepean Dyspepsia Index (NDI) were completed,and the relation between them was analyzed.Lansoprazole,mosapride and flupentixol melitracen (the anti-somatisation medication) were taken for four weeks by 131 FD patients who had poor response to four-week conventional treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and/or prokinetic medication and who got more than 4 scores in PHQ 15.And then therapeutic effects were observed and the changes of NDI before and after treatment were analyzed.The t test,chi-square test,Spearman's correlation and linear regression were performed for statistical analysis.Results The total PHQ-15 and NDI score of 219 patients with FD were 5.7±3.4 and 42.0± 10.4,and there was positive correlation between them (r=0.493,P＜0.05).Stomach pain,headache,chest pain,dizziness,shortness of breath,fatigue,sleeping disorder,thirst and so on were positively correlated with totalNDIscore (r=0.262,0.230,0.241,0.243,0.352,0.385,0.266,0.281,all P＜0.05).Chest pain,stomach pain,shortness of breath,dizziness and fatigue were the influence factors of NDI (t=2.340,2.488,5.278,2.167,2.443,all P＜0.05).Among 131 patients with FD who received anti somatisation combination therapy,six patients did not complete the therapy because of the side effects,and finally 125 patients were enrolled and analyzed.Before and four weeks after the treatment,the total PHQ-15 scores of 125 patients with FD were 7.3±3.2 and 2.9±2.2,respectively; and the difference was statistically significant (t =12.653,P＜0.01).There were significant differences in the influence of stomach pain,headache,chest pain,dizziness,shortness of breath,fatigue,sleeping disorder and thirst before and after the treatment (not bothered at all,bothered a little,bothered a lot) (x2=39.231,6.796,6.693,15.520,6.698,51.572,44.390 and 16.506,all P＜0.05).The total NDI score before and after the treatment were 44.3 ± 11.7 and 29.2 ± 6.9,and the difference was statistically significant (t=12.503,P＜0.01).Conclusions The quality of life in patients with FD is affected by somatic symptoms such as chest pain,stomach pain,shortness of breath,dizziness,fatigue and so on.For FD patients with poor response to conventional treatment,the quality of life could be improved by the combination of anti-somatisation therapy and the conventional therapy.

[Objective] To explore whether necroptosis is involved in the mechanism of lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion.[Method] Thirty-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups (n--8):sham operation group (sham group),isehemia/ reperfusion group (I/R group),necroptosis inhibitor necrostatin-1 group (Nec-1 group) and solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group (DMSO group).Model of intestinal I/R injury was produced by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 1.5 h followed by 6 h reperfusion in rats.Necrostatin-1 1.0 mg/kg was administered 30 min before occlusion in Nec1 group,while the equal volume of DMSO was given instead in DMSO group.The rats were sacrificed at 6 h of reperfusion and the lung tissues were removed for measurement of wet-dry ratio and microscopic examination and scored.The expression of receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) and receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3) in lung tissues was detected using Western-blot and immunohistochemistry.[Result] Compared with sham group,lung morphology score and wet/dry ratio in I/R,DMSO group raised (P ＜ 0.05).Lung morphology score and wet/dry ratio statistically declined in Nec-1 group compared with I/R and DMSO group (P ＜ 0.05),while there was no statistical difference of wet/dry ratio between sham group and Nec-1 group (P ＞ 0.05).As the result of westernblot and immunohistochemistry showed,the expression of RIP1 and RIP3 was up-regulated in I/R group and DMSO group (P ＜0.05),which was inhibited by Nec-1 in Nec-1 group (P ＜ 0.05).[Conclusion] Necroptosis is involved in the mechanism of lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion,and Nec-1,the special inhibitor of RIP1,can reduce the injury.
