1.Expression of placental glucose transporters in pregnant women with abnormal glycometabolism
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2008;11(6):373-376
Objective To investigate the expression of glucose transporters(GLUTs)in placentas of pregnant women with abnormal glyeometabolism,and to explore its effect on glucose transport between mother and fetus and its relation with the birth weight.Methods Placentas of 41 pregnant women with abnormal glycometabolism(7 cases of DM,10 GDM A1,10 GIGT and 14 GDMA2)and 15 normal pregnant women as control were selected.The expression of GLUT1 and GLUT3was detected by immunohistochemistry.The birth weight was measured at delivery.Results GLUT1 was expressed in the syncytiotrophoblasts and cytotrophoblasts,whereas GLUT3 in some endothelial cells.The expressions of GLUT1 and GLUT3 were significantly different among the five groups(P<0.01).Positive correlation was shown between the GLUT1 expression and the birth weight(rs=0.532,P<0.01),but not in GLUT3 expression.Conclusions The expression of GLUT1 and GLUT3 in placentas of pregnancy with abnormal glycometabolism is enhanced,and GLUT1 may play a predominant role in the fetal glucose uptake.

Objective To investigate the features of smog disease.Methods The clinical manifestations and inducements of smog disease patients were comprehensively analyzed by using clinical statistical methods.Results Smog disease mainly invaded young people.Smog disease was found mostly acute or subacute in onset.21 cases invaded internal carotid arterial system among these 30 patients,including infarction and cerebral hemorrhage;6 patients showed vertebral arterial signs,and 3 cases invaded both the two systems.Brain CT or MRI only showed the position of neurological disorder;The final diagnosis was made by DSA.Conclusion Smog disease could invade both the two systems of intracerebral artery,DSA is the best method to diagnose smog disease.

Objective To investigate the value of prevention of cerebral ischemia with multi-modality neuroelectrophysiological monitoring in intracranial aneurysm embolization. Methods The clinical data of 44 patients with intracranial aneurysm treated with endovascular embolization from May 2013 to June 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they used intraoperative neuroelectrophysiological monitoring. There were 21 patients in a monitoring group and 21 in a non-monitoring group. According to the site of the aneurysms,somatosensory evoked potential ( SEP),motion evoked potential( MEP),scalp electroencephalogram,and brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP)were monitored,and at one day after procedure,their newly developed neurological deficits and the follow up observation after 3 months in both groups were compared and analyzed. Results The intraoperative SEP,MEP,and scalp EEG changes in the monitoring group were observed in 9,3 and 4 patients,respectively. Timely preventive measures were taken for 9 of the patients with cerebral ischemia revealed by neuroelectro-physiological monitoring. At the first day after procedure,the incidence of patients with new neurological deficit was 17. 4%(4/23)in the monitoring group,and that was 47. 6%(10/21)in the non-monitoring group. There was significant difference between the 2 groups(χ2 =4. 623;P<0. 05). There was significant difference in the good prognosis rates(87. 0%[20/23]vs. 57. 1%[12/21])after 3-month follow-up (χ2 =4. 919;P<0. 05)between the 2 groups. There were no deaths in both groups. Conclusion Multimode in combination with neuroelectrophysiological monitoring may decrease ischemic complications in aneurysm interventional treatment and improve the safety of procedure.

Survivin is the most recent member of the IAP family, which shows a higher expression in almost all tumor cells, but not detected in most normal cells. Our attention is drawn by survivin due to its selective expression, which was taken as one molecule sign of tumor cells. Accordingly, survivin is examined in most leukemia cell line and leukemia specimen, whose expression also showed the association with leukemia. As in other tumor cells, survivin also plays an important role in the leukemogenesis. Meanwhile the detection of survivin can provide an useful prognosis information. This article is a brief overview of the development of survivin and its relationship with leukemia.

An EPA and DHA enriched fish oil ( containing EPA 0.24 g/L, DHA 0.47g/L ) was administered by gastric intubation at the dose of O.2ml/100g wt for a period of one month in the hyperlipoprotein-emia rats caused by high lipid and cholesterol feeding. The administration of fish oil resulted in reduction in TG ( Triglyceride ) ; TC ( Total Cholesterol ) and VLDL-C + LDL-C levels in serum. Levels of HDL2-C and ratio of HDL2/HDL3 were elevated although there was no significant change in level of HDL-C. The study suggests that oral administration of EPA and DHA enriched fish oil might reduce the developoment of atherosclerosis.

Objective:To evaluate arthroscopy-assisted tibial bone tunnel fixation combined with double-row anchors in the treatment of tibial eminence fracture.Methods:The 23 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Beiing Shunyi District Hospital for tibial eminence fractures by arthroscopy-assisted tibial bone tunnel fixation combined with double-row anchors from October 2015 to December 2019. They were 15 males and 8 females, aged from 12 to 55 years (average, 35.5 years). All the injuries were unilateral (14 right and 9 left sides). According to the modified Meyers-McKeever classification, 2 cases belonged to type Ⅱ, 18 cases to type Ⅲ and 3 cases to type Ⅳ. Range of motion of the knee, Lysholm and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores were observed before surgery, 1 month and 12 months after surgery. The anterior tibial slope angle (ATSA) on CT was measured preoperatively and 1 month after surgery for evaluation of fracture reduction.Results:All the 23 patients were followed up for an average of 23 months (from 12 to 52 months). Postoperatively, limited knee movement was observed in 2 patients and non-anatomic reduction in one patient. At 1 month and 12 months after operation, the Lysholm scores (61.4 ± 3.5 and 90.4 ± 4.3) and IKDC scores (69.6 ± 4.2 and 88.5 ± 3.0) were significantly improved compared with the preoperative values (45.4 ± 6.8 and 49.6 ± 3.9, respectively) ( P<0.05). ATSA was significantly restored from preoperative 4.2° ± 5.7° to -11.7° ± 2.9° at 1 month after operation ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of tibial eminence fracture, arthroscopy-assisted tibial bone tunnel fixation combined with double-row anchors can achieve anatomical reduction and firm fixation, leading to satisfactory surgical outcomes.

Objective To observe the change of brain iron content in deep gray nucleus using susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in patients with Parkinson's diseases (PD). Methods The SWI examination was performed in 40 PD patients (10 patients with Hoehn-Yahr stage Ⅰ , 9 patients with Hoehn-Yahr stage Ⅱ , 9 patients with Hoehn Yahr stage Ⅲ , 6 patients with Hoehn-Yahr stage Ⅳ, 6 ptients with Hoehn Yahr stage Ⅴ ) and 33 gender- and age- matched controls, after conventional brain magnetic resonance imaging examination on a 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging.The signal values of substantia nigra zona compacta (SNc), substantia nigra zona reticulate (SNr),red nucleus (RN), putamen (Pu), globus pallidus (GP) and caudate nucleus (CN) were assessed.Results Compared with the controls, the PD patients had statistically significance of signal value differences of SNc (P=0.002), SNr (P=0.043). RN (P= 0.003), Pu (P=0.023). GP (P=0.001) andCN (P=0.033). The more significant differences of SNc(P=0.001), SNr (P=0.010),RN (P<0. 001 ), Pu (P=0. 008), GP (P<0. 001) and CN (P=0. 011) were observed between more severe PD lesion and control. The signal values of SNc and GP showed obviously negative correlations with Hoehn-Yahr grading (SNcr=-0.943. P<0.001; GPr=-0.923, P<0.001). But there was weakly correlation of the signal values of SNr, RN, Pu, CN with Hoehn Yahr grading (SNr r=0. 496. P=0.001; RN r=-0. 480. P=0.002; Pu r=-0. 494, P=0.001; CN r=-0.471, P=0.002) Conclusions Measurement of the brain iron content of SNc and GP using SWI on MRI is a reliable means of diagnosing PD, and it has significant correlation with Hoehn-Yahr grading, It could evaluate the severity of PD.
