To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of compound Danshen injection in treating hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) of newborns. Computer retrievals were made in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and China info (before May 2014) and relevant literature references, and manual retrievals were made for journals and conference papers, in order to collect randomized or semi-randomized controlled trials concerning compound Danshen injection in the treatment of neonatal HIE. The quality of included references was evaluated according to literatures recommended by Cochrane Handbook. RevMan 5. 3 software was applied in the statistical treatment. Finally, a total of 13 randomized controlled trials were included, covering 1,211 patients (including 639 patients in the compound Danshen injection-treated group and 572 patients in the control group). Meta-analysis results showed that the routine treatment combined with compound Danshen injection can improve the treatment efficiency of neonatal HIE [RR = 1.28; 95% CI (1.21-1.36)], reduce the mortality rate [RR = 0.42; 95% CI (0.23-0.75)] and the incidence of long-term neurological sequelae [RR = 0.48; 95% CI (0.35-0.65)], with statistical differences. No fatal side effect was observed in all of included trials. So far, limited evidences in this study proved that the application of compound Danshen injection in the treatment of neonatal HIE can enhance the clinical efficiency. However, because of the low quality of the included trials, more well-designed and large-scale multi-center randomized controlled trials shall be made in the future.

Objective: To study the effect of cytochrome P-450 4F2 (CYP4F2, rs2108622) gene polymorphisms in patients with warfarin for initial doses in 7 days.
Methods: A total of 271 patients treated by warfarin were studied. The CYP4F2 gene polymorphisms were assessed by real-time PCR, the average initial warfarin doses in 7 days and the time of international normalized ratio (INR) ifrst arrived to therapeutic range were recorded. The differences of initial warfarin doses and the time of INR ifrst arrived to therapeutic range among CYP4F2 gene polymorphisms of CC, CT and TT genotypes were analyzed by statistical method.
Results: The average initial warfarin doses among CYP4F2 polymorphisms of TT and CT/TT were higher than CC, P<0.05. The times of INR first arrived to therapeutic range in TT genotype was higher than CC genotype, P<0.05. With adjusted gender, age, body height and weight, CYP2C9 and VKORC1 polymorphisms, conditions of disease and medication, the effect of CYP4F2 gene polymorphisms on initial warfarin doses in 7 days were still with the statistic meaning (regression coefifcient=0.21, P=0.003).
Conclusion: CYP4F2 polymorphisms inlfuenced the initial warfarin doses in 7 days in relevant patients.

Objective To investigate brain function alteration in early onset schizophrenia by amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) based on resting-state functional MRI (fMRI). Method Twenty patients with early on?set schizophrenia and 20 sex, age, education years matched healthy controls underwent resting-state functional MRI. The difference in ALFF was compared between patients and controls. Result Compared with control group, the ALFF values in patient group increased in the left frontal gyrus, precuneus, cingulate cortex, occipital lobe, parahippocampal gyrus and calcarine (P<0.05, AlphaSim revised), while decreased in the right superior temporal lobe and the posterior lobe of cerebellum (P<0.05, AlphaSim revised). Conclusion There are abnormal ALFF in multiple regions in early onset schizo?phrenia, suggesting that early onset schizophrenia may have altered in resting-state brain activity.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture have obtained good outcomes, because the traditional method is invalid, but there are a variety of choices in operation time, anesthesia, surgical approach and method, and each method has its advantages and disadvantages. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and preponderance of the manual reduction combined with unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty under general anesthesia in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:A total of 53 patients with single vertebral osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, who were treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty, were retrospectively analyzed from July 2012 to December 2014. The new method group (32 cases) received manual reduction, underwent unilateral pedicle puncture and bone cement injection during unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty under general anesthesia. The conventional method group (21 cases) received conventional percutaneous vertebroplasty. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was an average of 6-month folow-up (3-14 months). Significant differences in visual analogue scale scores, vertebral compression ratio and kyphosis Cobb’s angle were detected in the new method and the conventional method groups at 3 days post surgery and during final folow-up compared with before surgery (P < 0.01). No significant difference in visual analogue scale scores was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). Compared with the conventional method group, postoperative vertebral compression ratio, kyphosis Cobb’s angle and bone cement leakage rate were significantly lower in the new method group (P < 0.01). Results verified that the new method combined with the advantages of percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty, the advantages of unilateral and bilateral puncture approach. The new method can correct kyphosis deformity, effectively recover the vertebral height and physiological curvature and the puncture is safe. Simultaneously, the leakage rate of bone cement is reduced, and the distribution of bone cement is ideal.
