Objective To assess the value of laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal emergency during pregnancy.Methods Clinical data of 40 cases of abdominal emergency at 7~17 gestational weeks(mean,13.2 weeks) from June 1997 to October 2004 were retrospectively reviewed.There were 16 cases of uterine with ectopic pregnancy,3 cases of twisted ovary,5 cases of pedicel torsion of ovarian cyst,5 cases of acute cholecystitis,and 11 cases of acute appendicitis.The diagnosis and treatment were conducted under laparoscope. Results The confirmative diagnosis was clarified under laparoscope in all the cases.Except 1 case of conversion to open surgery,the operation was accomplished laparoscopically in all cases. The operation time was 25~70 min(mean,38.2 min).Surgical complications occurred in 1 case.During postoperative follow-up observations,there were 3 cases of threatened abortion,3 cases of inevitable abortion,and 1 case of premature delivery. Conclusions Laparoscopic operation is safe and effective for acute abdominal emergency during early-to-middle pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of resveratrol in a rat model of complex region-al pain syndrome type Ⅰ(CRPS1). Methods 50 male SD rats were divided into control group(group A),sham operation group(group B),model group 1(group C),model group 2(group D),and model group 3(group E). Groups A,B and C received 5%DMSO;group D received ISO-1 of 1 mg/(kg·d);and group E received resveratrol of 20 mg/(kg · d)for 14 days. Pain behaviors were assessed on days 0,7,and 14. Serum levels of MIF and TNF-αwere detected by ELISA. MIF ,total ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 in sciatic nerve were detected by Western blot. Re-sults On days 7 and 14 after treatment,resveratrol injection,similar to ISO-1,significantly improved the pain threshold;serum levels of MIF and TNF-α were significantly decreased;expressions of MIF ,total ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 in sciatic nerve were also decreased significantly in group E,which were significantly lower than group C (P < 0.05). Conclusions Resveratrol can significantly improve pain threshold ,decrease expressions of MIF and p-ERK1/2 in a rat model of CRPS1,which might be involved in the inhibition of ERK signaling pathway.

Objective: To study the apoptosis of T lymphocyte subsets of peripheral blood in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)and the correlated pathogenesis.Methods: The percentages of T lymphocyte subsets,the positive expression rates of Fas/FasL on T lymphocyte subsets,and the apoptosis of T lymphocyte subsets were determined by three-colorflow cytometry.The level of serum IL-10 was analyzed by ABCELISA.IL-10 antibody and FasL antibody were added respectively into the 48 hours' culture of 10 SLE patients' PBMCs in vitro,whose serum IL-10 significantly increased, and then, the changes of T lymphocyte subsets of SLE PBMCs were determined by three-colodlow cytometry.Results: 1)In SLE, mainly in hyperactive SLE, the apoptesis of CD4~+ T lymphocytes increased significantly(P＜0.05),and the ratio of CD4~+/CD8~+ decreased compared with normal controls,and the abnormal apoptesis of CD4~+ T lymphocytes had a positive correlation with the increased expression rates of Fas/FasL on CD4~+ and CD8~+ T lymphocytes(P＜0.05).2)The serum IL-10 level increased significantly in SLE (P＜0.01), expecially in hyperactive SLE, and serum IL-10 had a positive correlation with the level of serum anti-dsDNA antibodies, CD4~+/CD8 + ratio, and the positive expression rate of FasL on CD4 * T lymphocytes(P＜0.05).3)According to a tracking experiment on two different groups of SLE patients,we found that:with the stabilization of the illness,the level of serum IL-10 decreased significantly, the positive expression rate of Fas/FasL on T lymphocytes,particularly on CD4~+ T lymphocytes, reduced evidently,and the apoptosis of CD4~+ T lymphocytes decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion: The abnormal activities of T lymphocytes, particularly of CD4~+ T lymphocytes from patients with SLE,which lead to AICD,cause the percentage of CD4~+ T lymphocytes and the ratio of CD4~+/CD8~+ to decrease,disorder immune response, and accelerate the process of SLE.As a key factor in modulating the positive expression rate of Fas/FasL on CD4~+ T lymphocytes,IL-10 plays an important role in causing SLE.

Objective To investigate the effects of expression of mitochondria long-chain fatty acid oxidative enzyme (long-chain 3 hyroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase,LCHAD) and p38 mitogen activated proteinkinase (p38MAPK) signal transduction pathway in severe preeclampsia.Methods Serum-free trophoblast cells cultured in vitro were stimulated by early onset severe preeclampsia serum (E-PE group),late onset severe preeclampsia serum (L-PE group),HELLP syndrome serum (HELLP group),and normal pregnancy serum (NP group) respectively; each group was added DMEM/F12 medium,reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase inhibitor (NADPH-Ⅰ) and p38 MAPK inhibitor (p38-Ⅰ)to stimulate cells.Expression of mRNA and protein of LCHAD in trophoblast cells were detected by real-time PCR and western blot.Results (1) The expression of mRNA of LCHAD:the level of mRNA of LCHAD in NP+DMEM,E-PE + DMEM,E-PE + NADPH-Ⅰ,E-PE + p38-Ⅰ,L-PE + DMEM,L-PE + NADPH-Ⅰ,L-PE + p38-Ⅰ and HELLP + DMEM,HELLP + NADPH-Ⅰ,HELLP + p38-Ⅰ groups were 1.00 ± 0.03,0.14 ±0.08,0.95 ±0.20,1.43±1.02,0.37 ±0.18,1.51 ±0.36,1.60 ±0.31,0.10 ±0.04,0.49 ±0.10,0.44 ± 0.21,respectively.The relative expressions of mRNA of LCHAD were significantly reduced in E-PE + DMEM,L-PE + DMEM and HELLP + DMEM groups compared with the NP + DMEM group (P ＜0.05).Compared with the NP groups,the relative expressions of mRNA of LCHAD were significantly increased in L-PE + NADPH-Ⅰ and L-PE + p38-Ⅰ group (P ＜ 0.05),while reduced in HELLP groups (P ＜0.05).(2) The expression of protein of LCHAD:the relative expressions of protein of LCHAD in NP +DMEM,E-PE + DMEM,E-PE + NADPH-Ⅰ,E-PE + p38-Ⅰ,L-PE + DMEM,L-PE + NADPH-Ⅰ,L-PE +p38-Ⅰ and HELLP + DMEM,HELLP + NADPH-Ⅰ,HELLP + p38-Ⅰ groups were 19.4 ± 2.2,10.7 ± 1.1,17.9±3.3,19.1 ±2.9,16.4 ±2.3,20.3 ±2.3,20.9 ±4.3,12.4 ±2.3,17.6 ±2.6,17.7 ±2.0 respectively.Compared with the NP groups,the protein expressions of LCHAD were significantly remarkably reduced in E-PE + DMEM,L-PE + DMEM and HELLP groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the DMEM groups,the protein expressions of LCHAD were significantly increased in NADPH-Ⅰ and p38-Ⅰ groups of E-PE,L-PE and HELLP groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions These studies demonstrate that long chain fatty acid oxidation was involved in the pathogenesis and development of preeclampsia.The expressions of gene and protein of LCHAD were remarkably affected by early onset severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome.NADPH-Ⅰ and p38-Ⅰ may allay the disorder of fatty acid oxidation.p38MAPK signal transduction pathway may contributed in this process.

Objective To analyze the variations of PTPS gene in patients with suspected 6-pyruvoyl-tetra hydropterin synthase deficiency (PTPSD) and to make prenatal diagnosis in high-risk families. Methods Chemiluminescence was used for phenylalanine detection in blood or dried blood spots.Patients with phenylalanine concentration over 120μmol/L were detected by urine pterin analysis, and the activity of dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) was detected. tetrahydrobiopterin loading tests were performed in suspected patients with abnormal urinary pterin profiles. PTPS gene variation analysis was performed by direct Sanger sequencing based on PCR amplification. Prenatal diagnosis in 7 high-risk families was performed by chorionic villus sampling when the genotype was identified. Results In 656 patients with hyperphenylalanine, 22 cases were diagnosed as PTPSD clinically. 16 variations were detected in the 22 PTPSD cases. The 5 variations, p.Lys77Arg, p.Ile84Phe, c.315-2A>G, c.244-2A>T, c.187-1G>T, were identified as novel variations. Two fetuses carried the same mutation with the proband and therefore were thought to be PTPSD fetuses. Three fetuses carried only one mutant allele and thus were thought to be PTPSD carriers.

DNA nanocages are nanoscale three-dimensional polyhedral structures formed by self-assembled oligonucleotide strands by base pairing.DNA nanocages,especially the tetrahedron DNA nanocages,were proved to be potential nanocarriers for drug delivery,due to their good stablility,high compatibility,intracellular ablility and hollow cavity for modification and drug loading..In this paper,we reviewed the structural characteristics,synthetic methods and targeted modification of DNA nanocages,as well as their development and application in drug carriers,biological imaging,in vitro diagnosis and materials science.

This study was aimed to predict active compounds,drug targets and potential diseases of Yi-Guan decoction (YGD) by network pharmacological technology,and to clarify molecular mechanisms of YGD efficiency on different diseases with liver and kidney yin deficiency syndrome (LKYDS).Chemistry compounds,targets and related diseases from YGD were collected from TCMSP,TCM Database@Taiwan,TCMID,HIT,Drugbank,PubChem and TTD databases.The YGD compounds-targets-diseases network was constructed.The network topology was analyzed by Cytoscape software.The analysis of GO biological processes and KEGG pathways enrichment were performed by DAVID website.The results showed that 849 chemical compounds were identified from Beishashen,Maidong,Danggui,Shengdihuang,Chuanlianzi and Gouqizi.There were 49 active CHM compounds that were both oral bioavailability (OB) ≥ 30％ and drug-likeness (DL) ≥ 0.18,corresponding to 200 target proteins and 264 diseases.The top three GO biological processes were response to organic substance,regulation of cell proliferation,and response to endogenous stimulus,respectively.The top three KEGG pathways were pathways in cancer,hepatitis B,and prostate cancer,respectively.It was concluded that the analysis on YGD was conducted based on network pharmacology,and the compound-target-disease network was built,which may help to clarify the mechanisms of YGD efficiency on different diseases with LKYDS.It can provide clues to find new potential clinical adaptation of disease and new drugs.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features of childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms. Methods: The clinical data of 33 children admitted to our hospital from 2015 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The children were divided into three groups: idiopathic group (n=20), structural group (n=10) and genetic group (n=3). Among the structural etiology group, there were 1 case of megagyrus malformation, 1 case of focal cortical dysplasia type Ⅱ (FCDⅡ), 1 case of gestational age infant with enlarged ventricle, and 7 cases of perinatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy (HIE). In the genetic group, there were 1 case of PCDH19 gene mutation, 1 case of cyclin-dependent kinase like 5 (CDKL5) deficiency disorder and 1 case of Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. All three groups had ocular motor symptoms and secondary motor symptoms. Compared with the structural group, patients of the idiopathic group had more autonomic symptoms, less visual symptoms, longer ictal duration, less episodes, less abnormal background rhythm, and more epileptic discharges in the frontal lobe or Rolandic area. The genetic group had frequent seizures and the CDKL5 deficiency disorder patient had slowed background and spasms. Compared with the other two groups, patients of the idiopathic group had fewer MRI abnormalities, better seizure control effect, and better prognosis. Conclusions There are many causes of childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms. The idiopathic group accounts for a large proportion. The visual symptoms and autonomic symptoms are different between groups. Background abnormalities are detected more often in the structural group and the genetic group, which is also helpful for differential diagnosis. The treatment options and prognosis of different groups vary greatly. The overall therapeutic effect and prognosis of the idiopathic group are better than those of the structural group and the genetic group.
