BACKGROUND: Recently, the survival rate of premature infants increases year by year, but the cerebral growth of premature infants is immature, so the intellectual development of premature infants is slower than that of normal infants.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of family-oriented early intervention,which took material nutrition, information stimulation and petting as main interventional content, on level of intellectual development in premature infants in infantile age.DESIGN: Randomized sampling controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Pediatrics, Clinical Medical College of ShanPARTICIPANTS: Totally 35 premature infants of 31-36 weeks (18 males and 17 females) were enrolled as early interventional subjects, who were born at Jinan Municipal Central Hospital between May 2000 and July 2002. Meanwhile, 33 premature infants of 31-36 weeks (18 males and 15females) born in the same period and 49 mature neonates (26 males and 23females) were enrolled in control group.METHODS: The family-oriented early intervention, which considered nutrition, information stimulation and petting as chief interventional content,were performed in premature infants, and health archives was established.Taction and point massage were conducted. Home visit was done twice in one month. One routine health examination was determined at 3, 6 and 10months in the two control groups. The level of intellectual development was assessed in infants of 10-month old of each group with Gesell Developmental Schedules (GDS) and Japanese S-M Social Living Ability Scale.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Evaluation of level of intellectual development in infants of each group.RESULTS: In the premature interventional group, 1 premature infant died, 2 withdrew from the study, and 32 eligible cases with the eligible rate of 91.4%; Among the 33 premature infants in the premature control group, there were 3 withdrawing from the study, and 30 eligible cases with the eligible rate of 90.9%. Among the 49 infants in the term infant control group, there were 3 withdrawing from the study and 46 eligible cases with the eligible rate of 93.9%. ①Developmental quotient (DQ) at each area of Gesell and evaluation of Japanese S-M Social Living Ability Scale were significantly higher in the premature interventional group than those in the premature control group at 10 months old. There were extremely significant differences in suitability, fine activity, language and individual social behavior. ②DQ at each area of Gesell and evaluation result of Japanese S-M Social Living Ability Scale were lower in the premature interventional group than those in the term infant control group at 10 months old, which had obvious difference. ③Evaluation in premature infants aged oyer 35 weeks of the interventional group was lower than that in the term infant control group, but there was insignificant difference (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Early intervention has a marked effect in improving the intellectual developme nt of premature infants, and some premature infants can recover to the level of term infants in intelligence development after intervention.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different analgesics combined with propofol of intravenous anesthesia on postoperative analgesia and emotion in patients of artificial abortion. Methods One hundred and twenty-two patients who had underwent painless artificial abortion were selected. The patients were divided into 4 groups by random digits table method: simple propofol group (C group, 29 cases), fentanyl combined with propofol group (F group, 30 cases), oxycodone combined with propofol group (Q group, 30 cases) and sufentanil combined with propofol group (S group, 33 cases). The induced dose of propofol was 2.5 mg/kg. When patients had limb movement during operation, a single addition of propofol 0.5 mg/kg was added until the body movement disappeared. The changes of mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate and respiratory rate before and after operation were compared among the 4 groups. The emotional status was assessed with affective scale before operation and 1 h after operation. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of abdominal pain at 10, 30 and 60 min after palinesthesia. The propofol dose, operation time, recovery time and adverse reaction were recorded. Results No obvious adverse reactions were found during the operation. There was no statistical difference in operation time among 4 groups (P>0.05). The propofol dose, recovery time, body movement and the VAS score at 10, 30, 60 min after palinesthesia in F group, Q group and S group were significantly lower than those in C group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05);but there were no statistical difference among F group, Q group and S group (P>0.05). The MAP, heart rate and respiratory rate at beginning of the surgery and during the surgery were significantly lower than that before anesthesia in the 4 groups, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05); but there were no statistical differences in MAP, heart rate and respiratory rate among 4 groups (P>0.05). The positive affective score after operation in C group, F group, Q group and S group was significantly higher than that before operation: (24.6 ± 5.6) scores vs. (21.7 ± 6.2) scores, (24.6 ± 3.1) scores vs. (20.6 ± 4.6) scores, (28.3 ± 6.3) scores vs. (20.8 ± 5.3) scores and (25.2 ± 5.4) scores vs. (19.9 ± 4.8) scores, and the negative affective score after operation in C group, F group, Q group and S group was significantly lower than that before operation: (17.0 ± 5.3) scores vs. (29.7 ± 7.4) scores, (17.2 ± 3.0) scores vs. (30.8 ± 5.0) scores, (16.1 ± 5.1) scores vs. (30.4 ± 4.9) scores and (17.9 ± 4.0) scores vs. (32.1 ± 5.5) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The positive affective score after operation in Q group was significantly higher than that in C group, F group and S group, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in negative affective score after operation among 4 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The fentanyl, sufentanil and oxycodone combined with propofol of intravenous anesthesia in patients underwent artificial abortion can reduce propofol dose, shorten recovery time, improve positive affective score, decrease negative affective score and strengthen the analgesic effect, and doesn't increase the adverse reaction. The respiratory and circulatory inhibition effects of different analgesics combined with propofol of intravenous anesthesia were similar, but oxycodone can increase positive affective score.

Objective To investigate the expression level and clinical significance of WT1 gene in acute luekemia (AL) patients.Methods WT1 gene level was detected by real time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) patients.Then the expression levels of WT1 gene in different subtypes of AML were compared,and the correlation between gene expression and disease courses and prognosis were observed.Moreover,the relationship between disease courses and WT1 expression in patiens after receiving haemopoietic stem cell transplantation were analyzed.Results Among 66 cases,WT1 expression positive rate was 87.5 ％ (14/16) in AML and 76.0 ％ (38/50) in ALL.In AML,the expression level in M3 showed the lowest than that in any other subtypes (compared with M1,M2,M4,M5,P value was 0.040,0.007,0.006 and 0.01,respectively).The expression level of WT1 was closely correlated with leukemia disease courses.The expression level in complete remission (CR) group showed a significant lower expression level than that in non-remission group (P =0.018) and relapse group (P =0.003),and the re-increase of WT1 expression level could predict relapse as early as 1.5 months.Moreover,WT1 expression also showed an close relationship with prognosis of patients receiving haemopoietic stem cell transplantation.Patients whose WT1 was undetectable had a better prognosis than those with persistent expression,and increase again after becoming undetectable.Conclusion WT1 has a high expression level in AL,which can represent minimal residual disease.The expression level in M3 was lowest than that in different AML subtypes,and its expression level has a close correlation with clinical disease course and prognosis of AL.

Human acute premyeloid leukemia cell cDNA expression library was constructed to screen acute premyeloid leukemia tumor antigen. Total RNA and purified mRNA were extracted from human premyeloid cell line NB4. First and second strands of cDNA were synthesized by reverse transcription. After blunting, the cDNA fragments were ligated with EcoR I adapters. Then the cDNAs were digested with Xho I, and less than 400 bp cDNA fragment was removed by Sephacryl-S400 spin column, the remaining were ligated with lambdaZAP vector. The recombinants were packaged in vitro, and a small portion of packaged phage was used to infect E. coli XL1-Blue-MRF' for titration. The recombinants were examined by color selection. In order to evaluate the size of cDNA inserts and the diversity of library, the pBK-CMV phagemid was excised from the ZAP express vector by using ExAssist helper phage with XLOLR strain, and then the pBK-CMV phagemid was digested by Xho I and EcoR I. The results showed that the NB4 cell line cDNA library consisting of 1.65 x 10(6) recombinant bacteriophages was constructed with the recombinant ratio of 99.6%. The average length of the recombinant exogenous inserts was about 1.7 kb. It was concluded that the constructed cDNA library are deserved to screen target clones.
