Encephalopathy of prematurity is still an important reason which affects the survival and quality of life of preterm infants. During hospitalized in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU),a variety of environmental factors such as noise,light,too much tactile stimuli,pain,and maternal - infant separation all will affect the development of preterm infants' brain,leading to encephalopathy of prematurity. Therefore,need to attach importance to the effects of NICU environment on the growth and development and the neurological function of preterm infants,try to optimize the environment of NICU,to reduce the incidence of brain injury of prematurity,improve the long - term prognosis of pre-term infants.

Objective To study the correlation between the blood selenium level and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)with the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods Among 1 360 pregnant women in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012,68 cases GDM were diagnosed as GDM (observation group)and other 113 non-GDM pregnant women were ran-domly selected from these 1360 pregnant women as the control group.The serum selenium level and GSH-Px activity were com-pared between the two groups.Results The selenium level and GSH-Px activity in the control group were higher than those in the observation group.The selenium level was (3.07±0.51)mmol/L in the control group and (2.06±0.41)mmol/L in the observa-tion group,respectively;the GSH-Px activity was (197.23±18.73)U in the control group and (151.35±19.67)U in the observa-tion group,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P <0.05).Conclusion The decrease of serum se-lenium level and GSH-Px activity may be one of the pathogenic causes of GDM.

OBJECTIVE: To study the mechanism of Huoxue Qianyang Granule (HXQYG), a traditional Chinese compound medicine, in revising the left ventricular hypertrophy of hypertension. METHODS: Spontaneous hypertension rats (SHR) were randomly divided into seven groups: untreated group, Songling Xuemaikang (SLXMK)-treated group, captopril-treated group, high-, medium- and low-dose HXQYG-treated groups, and normal control group. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were measured. The content of angiotensin II (Ang II) in left ventricular tissue was determined by radioimmunoassay. The expressions of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) protein and mRNA in left ventricular tissue were analyzed separately by immunohistochemical method and RT-PCR. RESULTS: (1) SBP and LVMI were higher in the untreated group than those in the normal control group, and they were lower in the high- and medium-dose HXQYG-treated groups than those in the untreated group, but higher than those in the captopril-treated group, and without significant difference as compared to those in the SLXMK-treated group. (2) The content of Ang II and expressions of ACE protein and mRNA in the left ventricular tissue in the untreated group were higher than those in the normal control group, and they were lower in the HXQYG-treated groups than those in the untreated group, but higher than those in the captopril-treated group, and without significant difference as compared to those in the SLXMK-treated group. CONCLUSION: HXQYG can reverse the left ventricular hypertrophy of SHR, which may be due to decreasing the amount of Ang II and expressions of ACE protein and mRNA in the left ventricular tissue.

Objective To analyze the changes of electroencephalographic activities during fully automated simultaneous peripheral arteriovenous exchange transfusion(ET) in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.Methods A total of 45 neonates who suffered from severe hyperbilirubinemia and underwent fully automated simultaneous peripheral arteriovenous exchange transfusion were studied from March 2009 to March 2016 in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center,and 46 ETs were performed in 45 babies who were divided into 2 groups according to the severity of hyperbilirubinemia:the encephalopathy group and the none-encephalopathy group.Nineteen patients were in the encephalopathy group,in which 11 were male and 8 were female.The other 26 patients were in the none-encephalopathy group,in which 15 were male and 11 were female.Changes in amplitude integrated electroencephalogram(aEEG) during ETs were analyzed,including background activities,sleep-wake cycle (SWC)and seizures.Results Forty-five patients with hyperbilirubinemia underwent 46 fully automated simultaneous peripheral arteriovenous ETs.As a result,total bilirubin dropped from (524.90 ± 110.96)μmol/L before ETs to (245.62 ±78.97) μmol/L after ETs,with clearance rate of 53.2％.And indirect bilirubin dropped from(486.16 ±90.39) μmol/L before ETs to(222.19 ± 79.49) μmoL/L after ETs,with clearance rate of 54.3％.On the other hand,there was no significant difference in the changes of electroencephalographic activities during ETs,including background activities (x2 =0.16,P ＞ 0.05),SWC (x2 =0.71,P ＞ 0.05) and seizures (x2 =0.30,P ＞ 0.05).However,there were significant difference in suppressions on background activities between the encephalopathy group and the none-encephalopathy group(Fisher's exact test P =0.042),though there were no significant statistical differences in SWC or seizures between the 2 groups (x2 =0.65,P ＞ 0.05;x2 =2.07,P ＞ 0.05,respectively).Conclusions In neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,fully automated simultaneous peripheral arteriovenous ET is safe and efficient without significant influence on electroencephalographic activities as a whole.However,background activities are more significantly depressed in infants of bilirubin encephalopathy than that of non-encephalopathy during ET.

Objective To explore effects of fosinopril and losartan on renal Klotho expression and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and the mechanisms underlying the protection against renal damage. Methods Fifteen male SHRs (22 weeks old) were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=5 in each group): a SHR group, a fosinopril group ［10 mg/(kg?d)］, and a losartan group ［50 mg/(kg?d)］. Age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were chosen for a control group. Eight weeks later, tail arterial pressure, 24 hours urinary protein (Upro)，urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase) were measured. Renal pathological changes were examined under light microscopy by HE staining. The renal mRNA and protein expression of Klotho were determined by RT-PCR, immunohistochemical staining or Western blot. The levels of total antioxidant capacity (TAOC), malondialdehyde (MDA), Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), Mn superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were determined.Results The typical pathological characteristics of hypertensive renal damage were observed in the kidney of the SHR group．Compared with the SHR group, the systolic pressure, Upro, and urinary NAGase, the content of MDA and renal pathological damage was reduced while the renal Klotho expression and activities of TAOC, Cu/Zn-SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px were increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01) in the fosinopril or losartan group. There was no significant difference in renal Mn-SOD level among the 4 groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Fosinopril and losartan can exert protection against hypertensive renal damage through upregulating Klotho expression as well as reducing oxidative stress.

ObjectiveTo determine whether the inhibition of caveolin-1 tyrosine residues 14 (Cav-1-Y14) phosphorylation with protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors (PP2) will upregulate heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) activity to protect against ventilation induced lung injury in vivo of an animal model.Methods Fifty-four male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into nine groups (eachn = 6). Group A served as normal control group, in which rats did not receive ventilation but tracheotomy. Groups B1 and B2 received lung protective ventilation respectively for 1 hour or 2 hours. Groups C1 and C2 received high tidal volume (40 mL/kg) ventilation for 1 hour or 2 hours, respectively. The group D1 or D2 also received high tidal volume ventilation for 1 hour or 2 hour respectively, but they were given PP2 1 hour before high tidal volume ventilation. The groups E1 and E2 also received high tidal volume ventilation respectively for 1 hour or 2 hours, but tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP2 and HO-1 inhibitor zinc protoporphyrinⅨ(ZnPPⅨ) were given to animals 18 hours before high tidal volume ventilation. All the animals were sacrificed after ventilation, and the specimens of lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were harvested. Then the changes in pathology of lung tissue was observed, and diffuse alveolar damage scores (DAD) were calculated, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured by colorimetric analysis, lung wet/dry ratio (W/D) was estimated. The expressions of phosphorylated caveolin-1 (P-Cav-1-Y14), caveolin-1 (Cav-1) and HO-1 were determined by Western Blot. The expressions of high mobility group B1 (HMGB1) and advanced glycation end product receptor (RAGE) in lung tissues were assayed with immunohistochemistry staining. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in BALF were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results There was no significant difference in all the parameters between group A and groups B. Compared with group B1, DAD score, W/D ratio, the activity of MPO and the concentration of TNF-α in BALF in group C1 were significantly increased [DAD score:7.97±0.59 vs. 0.55±0.13, W/D ratio: 5.70±1.61 vs. 5.04±0.63, MPO (U/g): 1.82±0.14 vs. 0.77±0.26, TNF-α(ng/L): 370.10±29.61 vs. 54.38±8.18, allP< 0.05], and the injury in ventilation 2 hours group was more serious than that in ventilation 1 hour group. Compared with groups C, all the parameters in groups D were significantly decreased. The parameters in groups E were significantly higher than those in groups A, B, and D, but no significant difference was found as compared with groups C. Compared with groups B, the protein expressions of Cav-1 and P-Cav-1-Y14 (gray value) in groups C were significantly increased (1 hour: 1.49±0.02 vs. 1.26±0.13, 1.34±0.02 vs. 0.87±0.04;2 hours: 1.58±0.02 vs. 1.27±0.27, 1.31±0.01 vs. 0.95±0.02, allP< 0.05), and the expression of HO-1 protein (gray value) was significantly decreased (1 hour: 0.59±0.02 vs. 1.10±0.01, 2 hours: 0.49±0.01 vs. 1.20±0.02, both P< 0.05). No significant difference in Cav-1 protein expression between groups D as well as groups E and groups C. The protein expression of P-Cav-1-Y14 in groups D and E was significantly lower than that in groups C. The protein expression of HO-1 in groups D was significantly higher than that in groups C, but the phenomenon was not found in groups E as compared with groups C. Compared with group A, the positive expression of HMGB1 and RAGE in lung tissue in groups C and E was significantly increased, but no significant difference was found between groups B as well as groups D and group A.Conclusion Cav-1-Y14 phosphorylation is the key factor for ventilator induced lung injury, which can not only lead to a decrease in vascular barrier function, but also inhibit the activity of HO-1 enzyme, thus further aggravates inflammatory injury of the lung as induced by mechanical ventilation.
