Objective To demonstrate the association between fluid intake and sodium intake during the first 10 days of life and the risk of chronic lung disease (CLD) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.Methods A retrospective analysis of data from VLBW infants enrolled in the Neonatal Department of our hospital; 130 infants with birth weight between 790 and 1 470 g were randomized, among which 12 infants was diagnosised CLD. The daily fluid intake and sodium intake during the first 10 days of life were compared between the infants without CLD and those who developed CLD. Demographic and clinical neonatal variables were also compared. Results 118 infants survived without CLD and 12 infants developed CLD. Analysis showed that the daily fluid intakes were higher (day 2~10) and weight loss less (day 6~9) in the group of infants who developed CLD. In addition, the daily sodium intakes were also higher (day 2~6) in infants who developed CLD. Conclusion In the VLBW infants treated during the post surfactant era, higher fluid or sodi-um intake during the first 10 days of life were associated with an increased risk of CLD. The finding suggests that careful attention to fluid balance might be an important means to reduce the incidence of CLD.

Objective To assess the safety, efficacy, temporary side effects and feasibility of oral ibuprofen suspension in the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with hemodynamic significance in premature infants. Method A randomized controlled trial including seventy-four premature infants with PDA was performed from February 2007 to May 2008. Infants were randomly assigned to two groups: testing group (36 patients) received three doses of oral ibuprofen suspension (10 mg/kg at 24-hour intervals) and control group (38 patients) did not receive such treatment. The cure rate of PDA, relative side effects of ibuprofen and complications during treatment were recorded.Results The closure rate of ductus arteriosus in the testing group was 52.8% (19/36), which was higher than that of control group (18.4%, 7/38) (χ2=9.575, P=0.002). The severe side effects did not occur in testing group, such as oliguria, renal impairment, prone of bleeding, gastrointestinal perforation and novel appearing or deteriorative of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Compared with the infants in control group (26.3%, 10/38), the morbidity of abdominal distension or gastric retention in testing group (33.3%, 12/36) was higher, while there was no statistically significant difference (χ2=0.436, P=0.509). The hospital stay [(22.8±14.8) d vs (24.1±17.1) d], mechanical ventilation rate [5.6% (2/36) vs 2.6% (1/38)] and oxygen supplement time [(8.3±9.3) d vs (8.8±8.3) d] between the testing and control groups remained no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Oral ibuprofen suspension could be effective in closing PDA of preterm infants; no significant complications and side-effects occurred during oral ibuprofen treatment. It is suggested that oral ibuprofen suspension treatment was safe, effective and well tolerated for preterm infants with PDA.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antidepressant effect of triptolide in chronically unpredictable stressed mice and its possible protective effect on brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF). METHODS One method was selected from 8 different stress methods each day,and the mice were treated with triptolide(20,40,80 and 160μg·kg-1)10 min before the stress method. A chroni?cally unpredictable stressed model was established and after 14 d stress experiment, the total distance in the locomotor activity and the immobility time in the force swimming test and tail test were observed respectively. Triptolide(20,40,80 and 160μg·kg-1)was given 10 min before the test. In addition, Western blot was used to analyze the expression of phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein(p-CREB) and BDNF in the hippocampus and frontal cortex. RESULTS There was no effect on the locomotor activity in any group. Compared with the normal control group,the chronically unpre?dictable stressed group showed obvious depressive-like behavior,while the immobility time in the force swimming test decreased from(161 ± 18)s in chronically stressed group to(102 ± 14)s(P<0.05) and(83±14)s(P<0.01)when mice were ip given triptolide 80 and 160μg·kg-1, respectively,and(77± 11)s(P<0.01)in imipramine(IMI)hydrochloride group(10 mg?kg-1),and(96±9)s(P<0.01)in fluox?etine(FLU)group(10 mg?kg-1). The immobility time in the tail suspension test decreased from(128± 8)s in chronically stressed group to(93±9)s(P<0.05),(85±8)s(P<0.01)and(77±11)s(P<0.01)when mice were ip given triptolide 40,80 and 160μg · kg-1 respectively,and(64 ± 9)s(P<0.01)in IMI hydro?chloride 10 mg?kg-1 group,and(72±6)s(P<0.01)in FLU group(10 mg?kg-1). Moreover,the expression of p-CREB in the hippocampus and frontal cortex significantly increased in triptolide 80 and 160μg·kg-1 groups(P<0.05),so did the expression of BDNF in the hippocampus and frontal cortex in triptolide 80 and 160μg·kg-1 groups(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Triptolide can ameliorate the depressive-like behavior in chronically unpredictable stressed mice,which may be related to the cAMP-CREB-BDNF signal transduction cascades.

BACKGROUND:Study confirms that bone morphogenetic protein can induce osteogenesis;however the ultrastructure of periosteal cells induced by bone morphogenetic protein-7 remains poorly reported.
OBJECTIVE:To study the bioactivity and ultrastructure of periosteal cells induced by bone morphogenetic protein-7 in vitro.
METHODS:The primary periosteal cells isolated from adult tibial bone were in vitro cultured, and then divided into experimental group and control group. In the experimental group, cells were cultured with bone morphogenetic protein-7 and culture adjuvant;while cells in the control group were only cultured with the adjuvant. Three samples in each group were tested at 5, 10, 15 days, respectively. The general structure of cultured cells was observed using von Kossa staining, and the ultrastructure was observed under transmission electron microscopy.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The periosteal cells in the two groups grew wel in vitro, showing uniform morphology. Early cells were spindle-shaped, with strong three-dimensional sense and ful transparency;mitotic cells were short columnar or cubic shaped, there were a lot of rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex in osteoblasts under electron microscope. Later stage of cells developed from long fusiform into wide shuttle and irregular shape, there were a large number of matrix vesicles within the cells under the electron microscope. The membrane coating, alkaline phosphatase and calcium-binding protein in the cytoplasm, as wel as calcium crystals were found. The osteogenesis basement and lateral sides appeared projections, which were connected with adjacent bone cells. Induction of bone morphogenetic protein-7 in vitro promotes the osteoblasts proliferation, division and bone formation speed. The results suggest that bone morphogenetic protein-7 can significantly enhance the proliferation ability of osteoblasts in vitro.

Objective:To investigate the effect in lumbar mobility and stress of the facet joint and end plate after implantation of the movable artificial lumbar spine so as to lay a biomechanical foundation for its clinical application.Methods:Total lumbar CT data of a healthy adult male were selected to construct a finite element analysis model and its effectiveness was validated (physiological group). Two groups were replicated after removing the L 3 vertebral body and adjacent discs of the model in physiological group. One group was placed with each component of the movable artificial lumbar spine to construct the non-fusion model (non-fusion group). The other group was placed with titanium cage, titanium plate and other to construct the fusion model (fusion group). The models in the three groups were loaded with 500 N axial load and 10 Nm axial load, and the torque load was used to simulate the movement in six directions: forward flexion, backward extension, left and right lateral bending, and left and right torsion. The lumbar mobility and stress peak and distribution of the proximal facet joints (J 1-2, J 4-5), L 2 inferior endplate and L4 superior endplate at the three model operating sites (L 2-3, L 3-4) and adjacent segments (L 1-2, L 4-5) under the same conditions were compared. Results:The range of motions of the surgical site in flexion, extension, left bending, right bending, left torsion and right torsion were L 2-3of 3.9°-8.7° and L 3-4 of 3.6°-8.4° in non-fusion group, significantly increased compared with fusion group (L 2-3 0.1°-0.2°, L 3-4 0.1°-0.1°) and slightly increased compared with physiological group (L 2-3 2.3°-6.0°, L 3-4 2.3°-7.1°). The range of motions of the adjacent segments in the above six directions were L 1-2 of 1.4°-4.3° and L 4-5 of 1.4°-6.0° in non-fusion group, smaller than those in fusion group (L 1-2 2.1°-6.1°, L 4-5 3.3°-8.6°) and similar to those in physiological group (L 2-3 2.3°-6.0°, L 3-4 2.3°-7.1°). The peak values of von Mises stress in the proximal facet joints were J 1-2 of 7.07-19.21 MPa and J 4-5of 6.12-12.99 MPa in non-fusion group, similar to those in physiological group (J 1-2 8.42-18.53 MPa, J 4-5 7.49-11.70 MPa) and smaller than those in fusion group (J 1-2 10.54-21.16 MPa, J 4-5 10.63-16.13 MPa). The maximum von Mises stress of the L 2 inferior endplate and L 4 superior endplate in the above six directions was 29.39-54.72 MPa and 32.31-47.87 MPa in non-fusion group, significantly increased compared with the L 2 inferior endplate (21.20-42.07 MPa), L 4 superior endplate (22.50-36.76 MPa) and L 2 inferior endplate (11.04-29.55 MPa) in fusion group and the L 4 superior endplate (13.12-21.32 MPa) in physiological group. Conclusion:Compared with the traditional fusion prostheses, the placement of the movable artificial lumbar spine can reconstruct the range of motion of the surgical site in the direction of flexion, extension, lateral bending and torsion, greatly reduce the impact on the stress of adjacent facet joints and the range of motion of adjacent segments, and theoretically reduce the incidence of prosthesis subsidence.
