Clinical Medicine of China 2014;(7):709-711
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D(25(OH) D3)level and lung function of bronchial asthma patients. Methods Thirty-nine bronchial asthma patients with severe,moderate,mild stage(each for 13 cases)in respiratory department of the First People's Hospital of Jining from Jan. to Oct. 2013 were selected as our subjects. Fifth healthy people were selected as control group. Serum 25(OH)D3 and pulmonary function indexes were detected,and the percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV)in predicted value(FEV1% pred)was calculated. Results The FEV1% pred of patients with mild,moderate and severe stage bronchial asthma were(86. 62 ± 10. 80)% ,(67. 23 ± 11. 30)% and(31. 26 ± 12. 80)% pespectively,and there were significant between groups(P < 0. 01). The level of 25(OH)D3 in patients with mild,moderate and severe bronchial asthma were(14. 33 ± 6. 82),(10. 28 ± 5. 51),(5. 68 ± 3. 26)μg/ L respectively,lower than that in control group((17. 28 ± 7. 12)μg/ L),and the differences were statistically significant(P < 0. 01 or 0. 05). There was a positive correlation between serum 25(OH)D3 and pulmonary function,and the linear regression equation was:y = - 0. 0115 + 0. 167x. Conclusion The deficiency of Vitamin D relate to the occrrence and degreed of bronchial asthmaisease,and suppliment of vitamin D should also be used as a therapy in patients with bronchial asthma.

Objective To set up a novel clinical method for storage of oocytes by slowly freezing and successful pregnancy by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Methods The frozen oocytes (n=33) in metaphase Ⅱ (28),which were normal in morphology,were denuded of their cumulus-corona complex.The protective freezing solution contained 1,2-propanediol (1.5 mol/L) and sucrose (0.35 mol/L) and the process was slow for freezing and rapid for thawing.The recipients of these oocytes received hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Results A high survival rate of oocytes (32/33) was obtained when the sucrose concentration was 0.35 mol/L.ICSI induced a higher fertility rate (23/28),a good embryo cleavage rate (21/23) and a satisfactory embryo morphology for thawed oocytes.Embryo transfers were performed in 6 cycles/6 cases. Four cases got clinical pregnancy by demonstration of four gestation sacs on B ultrasonic examination 7 weeks after ICSI,1 fetal was first trimester spontaneous abortion,another 3 survival fetal were ongoing pregnancy and the first case gestation week is 17 weeks. Conclusions This study is the first successful application of human oocyte cryopreservation in China and this method can increase the survival rate of freezing oocytes.It’s easy to carry out,low in cost and high in the recovery rate of oocytes after thawing.

Objective To analyse the associated clinical findings of newborn infants with HIE after intrauterine asphyxia with normal Apgar scores at birth and follow-up the neurologic sequelae. Methods 30 newborn infants admitted for HIE in Jan.to Dec. 2002 were analysed,they had :(1)intra-uterine asphyxia with Apgar scores of 8~10 at birth,(2)with neurological symptoms on the first day after birth,(3)diseases of infection,genetics and metabolism,and deformity were ruled out,(4)with characteristic findings of HIE on cranial ultrasound examinations and CT scans. Results All of 30 newborn infants had signs of depression from the first day after birth,22 infants of them sometimes were irritable.17 cases (56.7%) with mild encephalopathy and 13 cases (43.3%) with moderate encephalopathy,none of severe case,compared with the infants who had HIE with birth asphyxia,there were no statistical difference. Less than 40% cases had elevated BUN and CKMB,hyponatremia,hypocalcemia,hypoglycemia,acidosis,etc The incidence of them were the same as the infants who had HIE with birth asphyxia. The findings of cranial ultrasound examinations were different between the acute and chronic hypoxic injury of intrauterine asphyxia Follow-up 28 infants at the mean age of (11.7?3.8) months. Except 1 case of cerebral palsy,all of them are normal intelligent infants. There were 4 cases of dilated lateral ventricle and 1 case of dilated 3rd ventricle at birth; 6 cases of dilated ventricles found in follow-up and 1 of them had cerebral palsy,all of those infants recovered at 12~19 months of age. Conclusion Newborn infants who had intrauterine asphyxia without birth asphyxia might suffer from HIE and cerebral palsy later. Cranial ultrasound examinations showed some of them had fetal brain damages. Therefore,intensive care of such infants,preventing and treating intrauterine asphyxia could decrease the morbidity of HIE.
