Objective To clarify diagnostic value of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the pathological types of acute appendicitis in children and the role of CRP as a surgical indication marker for appendicitis.Methods Two hundred and six patients who underwent appendectomies and had pathologically confirmed appendicitis were reviewed between January 2010 and February 2014,and they were divided into gangrenous appendicitis group(n =53) and non-gangrenous appendicitis group(n =153) by postoperative pathological type.The correlation between preoperative clinical factors and the actual histological severity,and identify surgical indication markers were assessed by multivariate analysis and ROC analysis.Results There were significant differences in white blood count(WBC),neutrophils percentage and CRP level between gangrenous appendicitis group and non-gangrenous appendicitis group(P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that the level of CRP should be a risk factor for judging gangrenous appendicitis.It showed that the role of CRP in judging gangrenous appendicitis was superior to the proportion of neutrophils and WBC in the ROC curve.The ROC curve showed that the area under the ROC curve for the CRP level,neutrophils percentage and WBC was 0.931,0.659 and 0.599 respectively,and the optimal cut off value of CRP for surgical indication for classifying cases was around 44.4 mg/L,and the sensitivity was 75.5 ％,specificity was 93.5 ％.Conclusion The level of CRP is useful in identifying the pathological types of acute appendicitis in children,and can be considered to be a surgical indication marker for acute appendicitis in children.

Objective To study the feasibility and care mode of remote fetal monitoring at primary hospital. Methods A questionnaire survey was administered to 71 hospitals of different levels in Jiangsu province.Question-naire content included human resources status of midwifery,the remote fetal monitoring system and its clinical applica-tion;anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted to 130 maternal women by random cluster sampling;investigation of remote fetal monitoring device type,operation mode,clinical usage and existing problems was done through the doc-ument retrieval of VIP and Wanfang data platform.Results In grade Ⅱhospital,obstetricians sufficient and insuffi-cient were 10 cases (24.39%),31 cases(75.6%),respectively,and in grade Ⅲ hospital were 8 cases (61.53%), 5 cases (38.46%),respectively,there was statistically significant difference between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ hospital (χ2 =4.572,P <0.05);In grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ hospital midwives were obviously insufficient,but there was no sta-tistically significant difference between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ hospital(χ2 =0.219,P >0.05).Different cultural lev-el,place of residence,occupation of maternal demand for the development of remote fetal monitoring were urgent and higher degree of acceptance,but the cognition was not comprehensive,college degree or above,technical personnel and urban pregnant women that their need for remote fetal monitoring were the most urgent.There were significant differ-ences(all P <0.01).The use of remote fetal monitoring equipment was mostly at tertiary hospital nationwide.3G net-work way to transfer data had short time and small scope.Conclusion The existing monitoring system and service mode can not meet the requirements of the implementation of remote fetal monitoring,medical personnel professional quality and maternal comprehensive quality are the main influencing factors.The primary hospitals should actively pro-mote the application of remote fetal monitoring,maternal health care services and health education should arouse the attention of the whole society.

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological features of microscopic thymoma(MT).Methods The histopathological features of 12 cases of MT were observed by histopathologic and immunohistochemical methods.The pathological morphology,diagnosis,and differential diagnosis were discussed combined with literature.Results 6 cases of MT were accompanied by myasthenia gravis(MG) symptoms.Focal hyperplastic thymic epithelial islands were accompanied by large tracts of mature adipose tissue in 12 cases of MTs,and immunohistochemistry showed CK positive.Cyst formation was found in 5 cases,lymphoid hyperplasia in 7 cases,and vascular proliferation in 5 cases.Conclusions MG may be the clinical manifestation of MT.MT can occur in thymic cortex,medulla and cortex and medulla junction.Since the tumor is small and the lesions are multiple,it can not be found by X-ray or CT examination.Diagnosis depends on histopathological examination.Correct understanding of the clinical and pathological features of MT has guiding significance on the treatment and prognosis judgment of MT.Thymic resection was recommended for MG patients either with or without thymoma.

BACKGROUND:Stem cel s can be induced to differentiate into dopaminergic neurons in vivo and in vitro, which provides a theoretical basis for stem cel transplantation in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease
OBJECTIVE:To explore the feasibility and mechanism of intracerebral transplantation of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s for treatment of Parkinson’s disease rats.
METHODS:Intracerebral injection of 6-hydroxydopamine was used to make Parkinson’s disease models in SD rats. Twenty-two model rats were randomized into cel transplantation group (n=12) and control group (n=10) and respectively injected intracerebral y with umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel suspension and PBS. At 1-8 weeks after cel transplantation, intra-abdominal injection of apomorphine was performed every week to observe the rotation behaviors of rats;at the 2nd and 8th weeks, rat’s striatum and substantia nigra were taken for immunohistochemistry staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The rotation behaviors were gradual y decreased with time in the cel transplantation, but had no changes in the control group. At 3-8 weeks after transplantation, there were significant differences in the rotation behaviors between the two groups (P<0.05). At 2 weeks after transplantation, tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cel s were found within and around the striatum of the cel transplantation group;but there were no exogenous cel s in the control group. At 8 weeks after transplantation, there were stil active cel s and tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cel s in the striatum of cel transplantation group, and there was no tyrosine hydroxylase expression in the striatum of the control group. These findings suggest that transplanted umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s can survive in the brain that are positive for tyrosine hydroxylase, which can improve the behavior abnormalities of Parkinson’s disease rats.

AIM:To examine the effects of thromboxane A 2 receptor ( TXA2 R) , the downstream product of cy-clooxygenase-2 (COX-2), on the proliferative ability and COX-2 expression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial cells. METHODS:The effects of TXA2 R antagonist SQ29548 and agonist U46619 on the proliferation of RA synovial cell line MH7A were detected by MTS cell proliferation assay , and their effects on COX-2 mRNA expression in MH7A cells were al-so examined by real-time PCR.In addition, the possible effect of U46619 on the proliferation of MH7A cells, when COX-2 was knocked down by siRNA , was determined by BrdU cell proliferation assay .RESULTS:SQ29548 inhibited the cell proliferation and the mRNA level of COX-2 while U46619 enhanced them.Moreover, U46619 reconstitute the proliferative ability of MH7A cells to some extent that inhibited by COX-2 siRNA.CONCLUSION: In RA synovial cells, TXA2R is able to control COX-2 expression, while it also mediates the effects of COX-2, suggesting that TXA2R might be an ideal candidate for RA treatment .
