Aim To investigate the estrogenic activities of four components from pregnant mare’s urine extract. Methods The estrogenic activities of four components were assessed using two in vitro tests:the MCF-7 cell proliferation assay (E-screen test)and the luciferase transfected CHO cell gene reporter assay.In the lucifer-ase reporter gene assay,the reporter gene plasmids PGM-ERE-Luc and ERαor ERβand a control plasmid (pRL-cmv)were transiently co-transfected into CHO cells to establish an ERα-or ERβ-cell screening system which was used to measure estrogenic activity of four compounds.Results MCF-7 cells treated with HP, DHP,PT and HA significantly proliferated,thereby of-fering in vitro evidence for the estrogenic activities of HP,DHP,PT and HA,and they showed dose-depend-ent activities.Compared EC50 of PE and RPE with that of E2 ,HP,DHP,PT and HA exerted relatively weak estrogenic activities.The in vitro ER-mediated reporter gene assay revealed that HP,DHP,PT and HA dis-played estrogenic activities mediated by ERβor ERα. Compared with the EC50 of E2 ,HP,DHP,PT and HA exhibited lower estrogenic potencies.Conclusion HP, DHP,PT and HA possess weaker estrogenic activities than E2 .

Summary: Structural nasal obstruction(SNO) is a series of diseases caused by congenital or acquired structural anatomical abnormalities of nasal airway and its surrounding tissues, which leads to increased nasal ventilation resistance. The effect of medication drugs for SNO is poor and surgical intervention is often needed. However, the abnormal structure of nasal airway is very complex, including the periphery of nasal airway, internal nasal airway, the front and rear of nasal airway and complex factors. These abnormal structures may interfere with the nasal airflow mechanics by changing the nasal ventilation volume and disrupting the symmetry of the bilateral nasal cavity, and finally lead to subjective feeling of nasal obstruction. In addition, the structure of nasal airway has plasticity. After the abnormal structure appears, the corresponding compensation of nasal airway can occur to ensure normal nasal ventilation and bilateral nasal cavity symmetry. Therefore, the SNO is the result of the failure of nasal airway remodeling after the appearance of abnormal structures. The etiology of SNO is complex, involving original structural abnormalities, nasal symmetry changing and nasal airway structure remodeling. Therefore, accurate identification of the main factors leading to SNO is the vitalpremise of making personalized nasal ventilation surgery.

Objective To study the mental development and efficacy of caffeine citrate and aminophylline in treating primary apnea in premature infants. Methods Preterm infants who were diagnosed as primary apnea, received caffeine citrate therapy and recovered in the neonatal ward of our Hospital from December 2013 to December 2014, and followed-up in the high-risk infants outpatient clinic of our Hospital after discharge were recruited in the caffeine group. Preterm infants of aminophylline group were recruited randomly by number method. They were diagnosed as primary apnea, received aminophylline therapy and recovered in our neonatal ward from December 2011 to December 2013, and followed-up regularly in the high-risk infants outpatient clinic of our Hospital after discharge. The treatment effect and mental development at 6 and 12 months of corrected age between the two groups were compared. Results Each group included 150 cases of premature infants. The time (h) of oxygen therapy, noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and invasive mechanical ventilation in the caffeine group were all significantly shorter than that in the aminophylline group [(119. 1 ± 100. 2) vs. (156. 5 ± 134. 1), (107. 4 ± 100. 2) vs. (156. 7 ± 139. 8), (146. 4 ± 122. 6) vs. (270. 9 ± 257. 2), P < 0. 05]. The incidence of patent ductus arteriosus and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the caffeine group were significantly lower than that in the aminophylline group (24. 0% vs. 45. 3% , 9. 3% vs. 21. 3% , P <0. 05). The scores of gross motor, fine motor and social intercourse in caffeine group were significantly higher than aminophylline group at 6 months of corrected age ( P < 0. 05). The scores of gross motor, fine motor, language and adaptability of infants at 12 months of corrected age from caffeine group were significantly higher than that of infants from aminophylline group ( P < 0. 05). Conclusions Caffeine citrate treatment of primary apnea in preterm infants is more effective than aminophylline. Caffeine citrate treatment can improve mental development of premature infants.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of unilateral cleft lip repairmen via improved Millard technique. Methods 64 cases of patients with unilateral cleft lip were collected from July 2014 to June 2015. The traditional Millard technique was improved by moving traditional fixed point of columella nasi to close with the lateral nasal columella roots,and the moving range was adjusted according to the nasal columella deformity and nostril size. Meanwhile ,the nasal floor and the alar basal incisions were not designed. Instead ,fully free of affected side orbicularis oris muscles were applied to making apposition suture with the healthy side. Results It showed that anatomic form of the upper lip and the philtral column of patients ,whose unilateral cleft lips were repaired by the improved Millard technique,were normal,and both sides of the lip peak were basically symmetrical after 1 ~ 12 month(s)follow-up. Conclusions Compared with the traditional Millard technique,the improved technique could bring a better effect on appearance of the patients. And it will be one of the ideal repairing techniques for unilateral cleft lip.
