Objective To compare the clinical value of 2 oral contrast agents for magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP)and to investigate the safety,potency ratio of negative gastrointestinal contrast agents and to improve MRCP image quality.Methods Before MRCP,30 patients took oral ferric ammonium citrate(FAC)solution as group A and another 30 patients took Gd-DTPA dilution as group B.Then all patients underwent MRCP with T2-haste-fs-thick-slab sequence.Image assessment was done before and after oral taking of negative gastrointestinal contrast agents.Results After oral taking of negative gastrointestinal contrast agents,the interference of liquid in stomach and duodenum was suppressed and even effectively eliminated on MRCP.MRCP image quality was improved.Though the display of bile duct and pancreatic duct was of less image artifact,it reached the quality for diagnosis.No significant difference of MRCP image quality was found between those took FAC solution or Gd-DTPA solution.Conclusion FAC and Gd-DTPA both are effective negative gastrointestinal contrast agents.Gd-DTPA solution is of better function and higher quality-price ratio.

Objective To investigate the application of the ultrasonic guidance-assisted neonatal internal jugular vein catheterization.Methods Sixty two newborns (including low birth weight infants) receving thoracic/abdominal operation or resection of malignant tumor on the body-surface were randomly assigned to ultrasound guidance (UG) group or surface mark landmark(S) group.Newborns in both groups were all punctured with 22G venous indwelling needles to place the external casing,followed by the steel wire guidance-assisted implantation of ARROW 4F dual chamber central venous catheter.Then we compared the rate of successful insertion attempt,rate of malpositioning,complications and average operation time between the two groups.Results The rate of successful insertion attempt was 96.8%(30/31) in the UG group,significantly higher than that in the S group (32.3%,10/31),there was significant difference between the two groups(χ2=28.182,P=0.000).Malpositioning happened in 2 cases in the UG group,but 25 cases in the S group.Rate of complications was higher in the S group compared to the UG group (64.5% vs 3.2%,χ2=25.99,P=0.000).Most importantly,the average operation time was (4.366±1.137)min in the UG group,significantly shorter than that of the S group [(13.70±5.34)min,t=5.463,P=0.028)].ConclusionUltrasound guidance-assisted catheterization for neonatal internal jugular vein is safe and feasible and can dramatically improve the success rate and prevent complications.

Objective To explore the diagnostic and prognostic significances of platelet parameters changes in Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods The platelet total(PLT),mean platelet volume(MPV),platelet distribution width(PDW)and plateletcrit(PCT)were measured in 23 cases of KD on acute febrile phase and early recovery phase.It was compared with 33 cases suffered from other febrile diseases during the same period and in similar ages.Each KD child should accept the cardiology ultrasonic examination.Results The level of PLT,PCT increased in KD patients.It was more significant in early recover period than in acute febrile period(P0.05).PLT negatively correlated with MPV,PDW(r=0.358,0.268 Pa0.05).Conclusions The changes of platelet parameter play a very important role in diagnosis of KD.But it still can not be certain that whether the changes can help us estimate the variety of the patients condition and prognosis of KD children.It requires further study.

Objective To investigate the genetic basis of the children with growth retardation. Methods From January to October 2013, the 56 patients with growth retardation were enrolled in this study. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and was analyzed with gene array chips. Results Abnormalities were found in 12 patients (6 cases of sex chromosome abnormalities and 6 cases of autosomal aberration) and the detection rate was 21.4%. Four patients had the copy-number variations of smaller than 2.5Mb in size which could not be found by karyotyping analysis. Conclusions SNP-array gene chip could be used in the genetic diagnosis of growth retardation.

Objective To explore the repair result of full-thickness cartilage defects in diannan small-ear pig by bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transferred with both transforming growth factor-β3(TGF-β3) and bone morphogenetic protein-2(BMP-2) gene mediated by adenovirus vector and combined with deminerized bone matrix (DBM). Methods 32 full-thickness defects from 16 knees of 8 pigs were randomly divided into 4 groups in the experiments. In group A, the animals′ lateral femoral condyle of right knee joint was repaired with DBM and BMSC infected with both Ad-TGF-β3 and Ad-BMP-2. In group B, the medial femoral condyle of right knee joint was repaired with DBM and BMSC without infection. In group C, the lateral femoral condyle of left knee joint was repaired with DBM. And the group D is control group. Morphology and histology were observed 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after operation. Results 12 weeks after operation, the whole defects were repaired in group A, HE staining showed typical cartilaginous structure in the repaired area. In group D, defects were not repaired but filled with fibrous tissue. The O′driscoll scores were 15.65 ± 0.11 (group A), 11.33 ± 0.22 (group B), 6.13 ± 0.15 (group C) and 5.08 ± 0.15 (group D). There was significant difference among the groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions The new type of tissue engineering scaffold that DBM combined with BMSCs transfected with both Ad-BMP-2 and Ad-TGF-β3 could induce cartilage regeneration and repair the defects.

Objective To evaluate the immunogenicity and immunoprotective effect of heat shock protein 60 kDa (SjHSP60) of Schistosoma japonicum in mice after immunization and challenge infection, and explore the mechanism. Methods B cell/an?tibody?related databases and analysis tools were used to predict B?cell epitopes of SjHSP60. The mice were immunized with the recombinant SjHSP60 and challenged with S. japonicum cercariae. SjHSP60?specific antibodies in serum were detected by ELI?SA. The level of splenocyte proliferation was determined by 3H?TdR incorporation. Ex vivo suppression assay was performed to in?vestigate the effects of CD4 +CD25 + regulatory T cells (Tregs) induced by SjHSP60. Results SjHSP60 possessed multiple pre?dominant regions of B?cell epitopes. SjHSP60 induced a significant increase in both SjHSP60?specific IgG levels (P < 0.01) and splenocyte proliferation (P < 0.01) with a higher IFN?γ production (P < 0.01). However, the immunization with SjHSP60 resulted no significant reduction in adult worms (P > 0.05) and liver?accumulated eggs (P > 0.05) in S. japonicum?infected mice. Ex vivo assay showed that CD4+CD25+ Tregs from SjHSP60?immunized mice enhanced immunosuppressive activity. Conclusion SjH?SP60 has a dual role in host immune system, being involved in the induction of dominant humoral and cellular immune responses as well as in the enhancement of immunosuppression.

Objective To evaluate the effect of nebulized bronchodilator on the change of tidal breathing in infants with asthma.This may provide some objective evidence for clinical diagnosis.Methods One hundred and five infants with asthma and 26 cases with pneumonia were involved for the study.Tidal breathing flow-volume was obtained before and 10-15 minutes after nebulized bronchodilator was given.Accor-ding to the basic lung function results,59 cases as a mild group [the ratio of time taken to reach peak expiratory flow to total expiratory time(TPTEF/Te) ≥15%],and 46 cases of the infant asthma as a severe group(TPTEF/Te0.05).Moreover,in severe group,expect for RR and expiratory time(Te),the other indices significantly increased after administration of nebulized bronchodilator(P

A patient recovered partial hand functions by 4 reconstructed digits based on a pair of complete defect hands that lost all of 10 digits on March, 2014. The thumbs were reconstructed with bipedal nail flaps combined with iliac bone, the right index finger and left middle finger were reconstructed with the 2nd toes of feet. Bilateral superficial circumflex iliac artery rerforator flaps (SCIPF) were taken to repair the donor areas of feet. According to the DASH-Chinese upper limb function score system, the function of both hands was obviously improved in six and a half years after surgery. The function of both feet was not significantly affected.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of community education and service of mental health on improvement of people's diathesis.Methods483 subjects from 6 social strata were investigated with the questionnaire to find out the community resident's idea on mental health and need for psychological service.ResultsThere were significant differences in the concepts of criteria of mental health among people in different social strata and ages (P<0.001),and requirements for community education and service of mental health varied from one to another. Forms and contents of community education and service were multiplicate.ConclusionThe community education and service of mental health should be developed widely for improving people's diathesis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of memantine in the treatment of patients with Alzheimer' s disease (AD).Methods This was a 16-week,multi-center,randomized,double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (Study 10116).A total of 258 AD patients (MMSE score 5—18) were randomized in a 1:1 ratio into either memantine 10—20 mg/day (MEM,n=128) or placebo (PBO,n= 130) group for 16 weeks.Efficacy was primarily assessed in terms of changes of severe impairment battery (SIB) score in patients from baseline up to SIB assessment in the 16th week (16-week completers set, CS16).While ehanges of MMSE,ADCS-ADL_(19),and NPI (neuropsychiatric inventory) were evaluated as secondary efficacy parameters on both CSI6 and full-analysis set (FAS).Safety was assessed by physical examination,lab assays,ECG,and adverse events.Results 236 subjeets (CS16:MEM n=117,PBO n=119) were eligible for the efficacy assessment.No statistically significant difference between the treatments was observed on the primary and seeondary efficacy analysis,although both treatment groups had a slight increase from baseline in SIB total score.Post hoe evaluation of the data identified two bias factors that had a significant impact on the results of the pre-protoeol specified primary and secondary analyses.In a re-analysis of the data (CS16_(modified),MEM n=94,PBO n=95) excluding patient data affeeted by these factors,memantine-treated patients showed a statistically significant improvement related to placebo in the 16th week on the SIB (MEM 2.2 vs PBO 0.3,P=0.04),MMSE (MEM 1.0 vs PBO 0.1,P=0.03),and ADL (MEM 0.1 vs PBO-1.6,P=0.02) scales,indicating that memantine improved the cognitive function of AD patients and stabilized the activity of daily life.Memantine was well tolerated with an adverse event profile similar to that of placebo.Conclusion This study provides further support for pre-existing data,showing that memantine is efficacious,safe,and well-tolerated in patients with moderate to severe AD.
