Objective:To analyze the potential risk factors of periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage(PIVH)in premature infants.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data of 279 premature infants admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University From January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, who completed cranial ultrasound during hospitalization.According to the cranial ultrasound with or without PIVH, the cases were divided into PIVH group and non-PIVH group.The premature infants with PIVH were divided into severe PIVH(grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ)group and mild PIVH(grade Ⅰand Ⅱ)group according to the PIVH grades.A total of 25 factors, which may influnce PIVH, were analyzed by univariate analysis, and then multivariate Logistic stepwise regression analysis(stepwise backwards method)was performed to determine the major risk factors.Results:(1)A total of 279 premature infants were included in the study, 133 of them in PIVH group, and 146 of them in non-PIVH group.Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in 14 factors between two groups, including full treatment of antenatal steroid, gestation age, birth weight, neonatal asphyxia, hypothermia, early onset sepsis, metabolic acidosis, hypernatremia, anemia, respiratory distress syndrome, noninvasive ventilation, invasive ventilation, invasive ventilation within 72 hours after birth, and lumbar puncture within 72 hours after birth( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that gestational age( OR=0.709, 95% CI 0.602-0.835), and full treatment of antenatal steroid( OR=0.354, 95% CI 0.189-0.664) were protective factors for PIVH in premature infants, while neonatal asphyxia( OR=2.425, 95% CI 1.171-5.023), hypothermia( OR=2.097, 95% CI 1.088~4.041), early onset sepsis( OR=12.898, 95% CI 1.433-115.264), metabolic acidosis( OR=2.493, 95% CI 1.398-4.442), invasive ventilation within 72 hours after birth( OR=5.408, 95% CI 1.156-25.297), lumbar puncture within 72 hours after birth ( OR=5.035, 95% CI 1.269-19.993) were independent risk factors for PIVH in premature infants( P<0.05). (2) Among 133 cases of premature PIVH, 20 cases were severe PIVH and 13 cases were mild PIVH.Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in 5 factors between two groups, including antenatal magnesium sulfate, gestation age, early onset sepsis, abnormal coagulation, and lumbar puncture within 72 hours after birth.Multivariate analysis showed that early onset sepsis( OR=4.392, 95% CI 1.343-14.367) and abnormal coagulation( OR=3.502, 95% CI 1.234-9.867) were independent risk factors for severe PIVH in premature infants( P<0.05). Conclusion:Gestational age is negatively correlated with the occurrence of PIVH in premature infants, and completion of more than a course of treatment for antenatal dexamethasone is an independent protective factor of PIVH in premature infants.Neonatal asphyxia, metabolic acidosis, hypothermia(<35 ℃), early onset sepsis, invasive ventilation within 72 hours after birth, and lumbar puncture within 72 hours after birth are independent risk factors for PIVH in premature infants.Abnormal coagulation and early onset sepsis are independent risk factors for severe PIVH in premature infants.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of capsule endoscopy for the diagnosis of intestinal diseases in children.Methods:Clinical data of 113 pediatric patients who received capsule endoscopy in Xi'an Children's Hospital from October 2018 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The completion rate, passage time of stomach and small intestine, lesion detection rate, adverse reactions and complications of capsule endoscopy were analyzed.Results:Among 113 pediatric patients, 78 (69.03%) were male and 35 (30.97%) were female. The age was (99.8±44.7) months (9-195 months), and 31 (27.43%) were under 7 years old. The minimum weight was 9 kg and the minimum height was 70 cm. Eighty-seven pediatric patients (76.99%) swallowed capsules orally (the oral group) with the minimum age of 4 years and 3 months. Capsules were implanted in 26 pediatric patients (23.01%) under gastroscopy (the gastroscopic group), with the maximum age of 9 years and 2 months. Unexplained abdominal pain (47.79%) and unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding (31.89%) were common in the pediatric patients. The completion rate of capsule endoscopy was 97.35% (110/113), and the detection rate of lesions in small intestine was 31.81% (35/110). The passage time of small intestine in the gastroscopic group was significantly longer than that of the oral group (461.04±129.27 min VS 288.23±107.84 min, t=5.646, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the passage time of stomach or small intestine among different genders, different ages or different endoscopic examination results ( P>0.05). The positive results of capsule were not correlated with the method of ingestion ( P=0.401, OR=2.562, 95% CI:0.284-23.077), gender ( P=0.154, OR=2.352, 95% CI:0.726-7.616), age ( P=0.949, OR=1.007, 95% CI:0.816-1.242), examination reason ( P=0.246) or small intestine passage time ( P=0.219, OR=1.003, 95% CI:0.998-1.008). No complications such as capsule retention occurred in any pediatric patient. Conclusion:Capsule endoscopy in children is noninvasive, rapid and simple, which can improve the diagnostic rate of small intestinal diseases in children, and can be further promoted in pediatric patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Kangfuxin liquid on repairing cartilage defect model of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in rabbits and its mechanism. METHODS: Totally 72 male New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into model control group and Kangfuxin low-dose, medium-dose, high-dose groups, with 18 rabbits in each group. A cartilage defect model of the medial femoral condyle of the right knee joint in rabbits was established by drilling after anesthesia surgery. Then the rabbits in each group were given medicine via articular cavity immediately. Kangfuxin low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose groups were given 20%, 40%, 80% Kangfuxin liquid; model control group was given constant volume of normal saline consecutively, 0.2 mL/kg, once every 3 days. At 4th, 8th, 12th week after medication, the wound repair of cartilage defect in rabbits was observed. Immediately after medication and at 4th, 8th, 12th week after medication, repaired tissue of cartilage defect in rabbits was scored histologically with Wakitani scoring standard under light microscope. At 12th week after medication, pathological changes of repaired tissue of cartilage defect in rabbits were observed by Masson staining. The levels of NO, SOD and LPO in joint fluid and PYD in urine of rabbits were detected by ELISA. RESULTS: At 4th, 8th, 12th week after medication, compared with model control group, cartilage defects in rabbits were repaired well in Kangfuxin low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups. At 4th, 8th, 12th week after medication, compared with immediately after medication and model control group at same time point, histomorphological score of repairing cartilage defect of knee joint in rabbits decreased significantly in Kangfuxin low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (P<0.05). At 12th week after medication, compared with model control group, the histopathology degree of cartilage defect of knee joint in rabbits was significantly alleviated in Kangfuxin low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups. At 4th, 8th, 12th week after medication, compared with model control group, the levels of NO and LPO in joint fluid and PYD level in urine were decreased to different extent in Kangfuxin low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups, while SOD level was increased to different extent; at 12th week after medication, the difference of each index has statistical significance (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Kangangxin liquid can significantly repair cartilage defect of KOA cartilage defect model rabbits, the mechanism of which may be associated with increasing the expression of SOD and mediating NO-inhibited chondrocyte apoptosis.

Resistance to breast cancer (BCa) chemotherapy severely hampers the patient's prognosis. MicroRNAs provide a potential therapeutic prospect for BCa. In this study, the reversal function of microRNA34a (miR34a) on doxorubicin (Dox) resistance of BCa and the possible mechanism was investigated. We found that the relative level of miR34a was significantly decreased in Dox-resistant breast cancer cell MCF-7 (MCF-7/A) compared with Dox-sensitive MCF-7 cells. Transfection with miR34a significantly suppressed the invasion, migration, adhesion of MCF-7/A cells without inhibiting their growth obviously. The combination of miR34a and Dox could significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and induce the apoptosis of MCF-7/A cells. The synergistic effect of this combination on resistant MCF-7/A cells has no obvious relation with the expressions of classical drug-resistant proteins P-GP, MRP and GST-

BACKGROUND:
The fetal growth charts in widest use in China were published by Hadlock >35 years ago and were established on data from several hundred of American pregnant women. After that, >100 fetal growth charts were published around the world. We attempted to assess the impact of applying the long-standing Hadlock charts and other charts in a Chinese population and to compare their ability to predict newborn small for gestational age (SGA).
METHODS:
For this retrospective observational study, we reviewed all pregnant women ( n = 106,455) who booked prenatal care with ultrasound measurements for fetal biometry at the Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital between 2012 and 2019. A fractional polynomial regression model was applied to generate Shenzhen fetal growth chart ranges for head circumference (HC), biparietal diameter (BPD), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL). The differences between Shenzhen charts and published charts were quantified by calculating the Z -score. The impact of applying these published charts was quantified by calculating the proportions of fetuses with biometric measurements below the 3rd centile of these charts. The sensitivity and area under the receiver operating characteristic curves of published charts to predict neonatal SGA (birthweight <10th centile) were assessed.
RESULTS:
Following selection, 169,980 scans of fetal biometry contributed by 41,032 pregnancies with reliable gestational age were analyzed. When using Hadlock references (<3rd centile), the proportions of small heads and short femurs were as high as 8.9% and 6.6% in late gestation, respectively. The INTERGROWTH-21st standards matched those of our observed curves better than other charts, in particular for fat-free biometry (HC and FL). When using AC<10th centile, all of these references were poor at predicting neonatal SGA.
CONCLUSIONS
Applying long-standing Hadlock references could misclassify a large proportion of fetuses as SGA. INTERGROWTH-21st standard appears to be a safe option in China. For fat-based biometry, AC, a reference based on the Chinese population is needed. In addition, when applying published charts, particular care should be taken due to the discrepancy of measurement methods.
