Objective To investigate the relation ship between the changes of platelet parameters and intracranial hemorrhage in premature children with low birth weight. Methods 73 premature children with low birth weight were selected as research subjects and divided into PIVH group (35 cases) and non PIVH group (38 cases) according to intracranial hemorrhage or not,and 20 normal newborns were selected as controls. The neonatal platelet parameters of three groups were detected and compared. Results There were 35 cases of 73 premature children with low birth weight occurred intracranial hemorrhage, the incidence rate was 47. 9%. The gestational age and birth weight of PTVH group were (29.3 ± 1.2) weeks and (1 653.0 ± 182. 1) g and which were significantly lower than the non PIVH group( all P <0.05) ; the asphyxia rate of PIVH group was 60.0% and which was significantly higher than the non PIVH group(P<0.05). The PLT and PCT of PIVH group were (187.52 ±52.03) × 109/L and (0.127 ± 0.05) % and which were significantly lower than the control group (all P < 0. 05) ; The PLT and PCT of non PIVH group were(223.48 ±42.15) × 109/L and (0. 189 ±0. 06)% and which were significantly lower than the control group(all P<0. 05) ; The PLT and PCT of PIVH group were significantly lower than the non PIVH group(all P < 0.05) ; while the MPV and PDW among the three groups had no significant difference ( all P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion The abnormal decrease of PLT and PCT should be involved in the pathogenesis of intracranial hemorrhage in premature children with low birth weight, clinical attention should be paid to the monitoring of platelet parameters in premature children so as to alert and minimize its incidence.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of Erqi Decoction(EQD; mainly composed of Radix Aristolochiae Kaempferi, Radix Rhizoma Seu Flos Cypripedii, Cortex Fraxini, Cortex Phellodendri, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) on the intestinal tract in rats with acute radiation intestinal injury and its mechanism. Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, EQD group and Baitouweng Decoction group (BD group), 15 rats in each group. The acute radiation enteritis model was established by exposing the whole abdomen to a total dose of 10 Gy of 6 MV higher-energy X-rays. EQD group and BD group were given intragastrical administration with corresponding medicine of EQD at the dose of 8.85 g·kg-1·d-1, BD at the dose of 4.69 g·kg-1·d-1 respectively, and the normal group and the model group were given intragastrical administration with the same volume of normal saline. The treatment lasted for 7 continuous days. After modeling, the morphological change of the proximal ileum tissue was observed under light microscope. Villus height, crypt depth, and thickness of the ileal mucosa and entire wall were measured by image analysis system. The myeloperoxidase (MPO) content in ileum tissue was determined by spectrophotometer, and the expression levels of caspase -3 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in ileum tissue were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results EQD group and BD group had milder injuries of the ileal structure, and had higher villus height, crypt depth, and thickness of mucosa and entire wall than those in the model group (P <0.05), but there were no differences between the two medication groups(P > 0.05). MPO content in EQD group and BD group was decreased(P<0.05 compared with that in the model group), and MPO content in EQD group was lower than that in BD group. The expression levels of caspase-3 and PCNA were increased in EQD group and BD group(P < 0.05 compared with those in the model group), but there were no statistical differences between the two medication groups (P>0.05). Conclusion EQD has certain protective effects against radiation-induced intestinal damage, which mechanism is probably associated with relieving the local intestinal inflammatory reaction, accelerating intestinal epithelial cell proliferation, and inhibiting intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of PD-L1 in colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods:A total of 210 CRC patients who accepted radical surgery in our hospital from January 2015 to January 2016 were divided into three groups, namely, high-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H), low-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-L), and microsatellite stable (MSS). The expression of PD-L1 was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the expression characteristics of PD-L1 in different types of CRC were analyzed. Results:CRC cases with low differentiation had a higher expression of PD-L1 than CRC patients with high differ-entiation (P<0.05). PD-L1 had a positive rate of 75.8%in the MSI-H group and a rate of 9.3%in the MSI-L and MSS groups, wherein the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:PD-L1 was positively expressed in some CRC tu-mor tissues, and its positive rate was significantly higher in MSI-H than in MSI-L and MSS. The therapeutic effect of a PD-L1 blocker for patients with MSI-H CRC might be preferable.

Objective To evaluate the difference of tracheobronchial stenosis and airway malformation between double aortic arches and pulmonary artery sling in children. Methods Clinical feature and imaging data of spiral CT were retrospectively analyzed in children with double aortic arches or pulmonary artery sling who was hospitalized from July 2010 to July 2015 . Results There were 16 children ( 11 males and 5 females) with double aortic arches whose median age at onset was 3 . 5 months old. There were 47 children ( 28 males and 19 females) with pulmonary artery sling whose median age at onset was 4-month-old. In these 16 cases of double aortic arches, 14 cases were coupled with tracheobronchial stenosis. Two cases had more than one segment involved and they were segments II or III. Twelve cases had only one segment involved. Different degrees of tracheobronchial stenosis occurred in 47 cases of pulmonary artery sling, among whom 27 cases had more than one segment involved and the common segment was II and III ( 19 cases). Two cases had four segments involved and 20 cases had only one segment involved. There was statistical signiifcance in the number of involved segments between children with double aortic arches and pulmonary artery sling (χ2=13 . 588 , P=0 . 001 ). In 16 cases of double aortic arches, one case was combined with tracheal bronchus, and 1 case was combined with pulmonary hypoplasia. In 47 cases of pulmonary artery sling, 8 cases were combined with bridging bronchus, 3 cases combined with tracheal bronchus, 3 cases combined with pulmonary hypoplasia, 5 cases combined with bronchial deifciency or tracheal diverticula, and 2 cases combined with bronchopulmonary foregut malformation. There was statistical signiifcance in the number of cases combined with airway malformation between children with double aortic arches or pulmonary artery sling (χ2=5 . 333 , P=0 . 021 ). Conclusions The tracheobronchial stenosis and pulmonary airway abnormalities are more prominent in children with pulmonary artery sling than those in children with double aortic arch.

By studying the relationship between fingertip temperature changes and arterial function during vascular reactivity test, we established a new non-invasive method for detecting vascular function, in order to provide an assistance for early diagnosis and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. We customized three modules respectively for blood occlusion, measurement of finger temperature and blood oxygen acquisition, and then we established the hardware of data acquisition system. And the software was programmed with Labview. Healthy subjects [group A, n = 24, (44.6 ± 9.0) years] and subjects with cardiovascular diseases [group B, n = 33, (57.2 ± 9.9) years)] were chosen for the study. Subject's finger temperature, blood oxygen and occlusion pressure of block side during and after unilateral arm brachial artery occlusion were recorded, as well as some other regular physiological indexes. By time-domain analysis, we extracted 12 parameters from fingertip temperature signal, including the initial temperature (Ti), temperature rebound (TR), the time of the temperature recovering to initial status (RIt) and other parameters from the finger temperature signal. We in the experiment also measured other regular physiological body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastiolic blood pressure (DBP) and so on. Results showed that 8 parameters difference between the two group of data were significant. based on the statistical results. A discriminant function of vascular function status was established afterwards. We found in the study that the changes of finger temperature during unilateral arms brachial artery occlusion and open were closely related to vascular function. We hope that the method presented in this article could lay a foundation of early detection of vascular function.
