Objective To identify risk and protective factors of the periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (PV-IVH) in preterm infants. Methods By 1:1 case-control study, prenatal and perinatal data were collected and analyzed between preterm infants with PV-IVH and control group from January 2012 to October 2014. The risk and protective factors for the PV-IVH were identiifed by univariate analysis and multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis. Results There were one hundred and thirty-two preterm infants diagnosed of PV-IVH, in which, among whom 6 preterm infants could not be matched to the control infants in the protocol. Finally, 126 pairs of infants were enrolled in the study. There were no differences between two groups in gestational age and birth weight (all P>0.05). Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis found that BE<-5 mmol/L in the initial blood gas analysis after birth (OR=1.986, 95.0%CI:1.039-3.796), mechanical ventilation (OR=2.913, 95%CI:1.390-6.101), weight gain≤10 g/d in the second week (OR=2.303, 95%CI:1.164-4.558) were risk factors, while number of previous pregnancies≥1 times (OR=0.426, 95%CI:0.229-0.792) was a protective factor for PV-IVH. Conclusions The risk factors of PV-IVH in preterm infants include the lower BE value in the initial blood gas analysis, required mechanical ventilation, and less weight gain in the second week.

Objective To study the mechanisms of Liujing Toutong Tablets (LTT) in the treatment of migraine by network pharmacology. Methods Eighteen components of LTT absorbed into blood were selected as the objects, and targets of compounds were predicted according to the reverse pharmacophore matching method. The related pathways and correlation analysis were explored by the MAS 3.0 biomolecule function software and the Kyoto Encyclopedia and Genomes (KEGG) database. Finally, the network of compound-target-pathway-disease of LTT was constructed by Cytoscape software. Results Eighteen compounds interacted with 88 pathways through 72 targets, of which 36 protein targets and 22 pathways were associated with migraine. Conclusion LTT may play a role in expelling wind and dredging collaterals, promoting orifice and pain-relieving by intervening with the related pathways of inflammation, homeostasis of blood vessels, nervous centralis, immunity, and hormonal regulation.

Objective: To screen for the genes associated with metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) by studying the specimens of HNSCC. Methods: Eighty HNSCC specimens, including 17 involving the tongue, 13 involving mouth, 14 involving oropharynx, and 36 involving hypopharynx, were subjected to single nucleotide polymorphism chip analysis. The thirty-nine patients with distant metastasis during follow-up were taken as experimental group and the 41 without distant metastasis were taken as controls. Cox regression analysis was used to examine the influence of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on distant metastasis of HNSCC. Results: The results of SNP demonstrated a distinct peak of frequent genomic gain at 11q13. Cox analysis of the array data showed the following results: a relative risk of T allele of rs965l738 as the SNP probe of SHANK2 gene was 3.61(P = 0.003), relative risk of T allele of rs4980690 as the SNP probe of FGF4 gene was 3.63(P = 0.006), relative risk of T allele of rs7929885 as the SNP probe of ANO1 gene was 4.35(P = 0.008), relative risk of T allele of rs687660 as the SNP probe of PPFIA1 gene was 4.24(P=0.011), relative risk of T allele of rs660665l as the SNP probe of ORAOV1 gene was 3.04(P = 0.013), and relative risk of T allele of rs592412 as the SNP probe of CCND1 gene was 4.07(P = 0.013). Conclusion: It is indicated that the following genes at 11q13 can increase the risk of metastasis of HNSCC, including T allele of rs965l738 in SHANK2, T allele of rs4980690 in FGF4, T allele of rs7929885 in ANO1, T allele of rs687660 in PPFIA1, T allele of rs6606651 in ORAOV1, and T allele of rs592412 in CCND1.

Objective: To observe the changes of alveolar cells apoptosis and the expression of Fas/FasL protein in pulmonary injury induced by ischemia/ reperfusion in rabbbits, and to explore the related mechanism of pulmonary injury. Methods: The left pulmonary arteries of 30 healthy New Zealand rabbits (either sex) were obstructed and reperfused by inflating and discharging gas of 5F Berman sacculus catheter. The rabbits were then randomly divided into 5 groups: sham operation group, ischemia 1 h group, ischemia 2 h group,ischemia 2 h and reperfusion 1 h group,and ischemia 2 h and reperfusion 2 h group. Another 6 healthy rabbits were taken as control. The pulmonary tissues were harvested after experiment and the lung wet/dry ratio was determined. Alveolar cells apoptosis and Fas/FasL protein expression were determined using flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry techniques,respectively. Results: The lung cell apoptosis was obviously increased in ischemia groups compared with that in the control and sham group. The reperfusion after ischemia further increased the cell apoptosis compared with simple ischemia groups, and the apoptosis was positively related with the reperfusion time (P<0.05 or 0.01). Fas and FasL protein expression was significantly higher in ischemia and ischemia/reperfusion group than that in other groups (both P<0.01). Significant positive correlation was found between apoptosis index with lung wet/dry ratio and expression of Fas and FasL (r=0.769, 0.820,0.820 respectively, P<0.01). Conclusion: Pulmonary artery ischemia/reperfusion may activate the Fas/FasL system and induce alveolar cells apoptosis, leading to pulmonary damages.

Objective To perform comparative proteomic analysis of human ovarian cancer cell lines for detecting platinum-resistance associated proteins.Methods The total proteins of two sensitive (SKOV3 and A2780)and four resistant(SKOV3/CDDP,SKOV3/CBP,A2780/CDDP and A2780/CBP) human ovarian cancer cell lines were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE).The differentially expressed proteins were analyzed using image analysis software,stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue,then identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS)and database searching.The mRNA and protein levels of the differentially expressed protein which was most significant in all of the four resistant cell lines were validated by RT-PCR and western blotting,respectively.Results Five proteins were found to be significant in four cell lines. Annexin A3 and destrin were up-regulated and nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADP)- dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 was down-regulated in all the four resistant samples.Glutathione transferase omega 1 had an increased expression in the other three resistant cell lines except for SKOV3/CBP in which its expression was not changed.However,cofilin 1 represented a different trend.In the two resistant sublines of SKOV3,eofilin 1 had a down-regulation,but it had an up-regulation in the cell lines induced from SKOV3.The expression of annexin A3 was up-regulated by 3-20 fold and the results of RT- PCR and western blotting showed complete consistency with that by 2-DE.Conclusions Proteomic techniques are useful to the identification of the resistance-associated proteins in ovarian cancer platinum- resistant cell lines and five candidates have been found.The five differential proteins might become hopeful candidate biomarkers for resistance.

Bacterial biofilm is responsible for a wide variety of nosocomial infections.Many chronic infectious diseases are closely correlated with biofilm formation in the clinic.As the biofilm growth,bacterial clusters detachment and dispersal from mature mixed-species biofilms will result in repeated acute infections.Here reviews three distinct biofilm dispersal strategies: swarming dispersal,clumping dispersal and surface dispersal.Many factors,such as heredity and increased fluid shear in the environment,contribute to this complex and dynamic process.Fundamental investigation upon biofilm will benefit clinical therapy of biofilm-associated infections.
