Objective To investigate the neonatal death causes and the relationship between the causes and the neonatal age,fetus age and the year in order to reduce neonatal mortality.Methods Data of neonatal autopsy and pathological records from 107 neonates in our hospital from January 1998 to May 2008 were collected,analyzed and summarized.Results 40.2%of the cases died within 24 hours and 72.9%died within 7 days after birth.The main death cause for those who died within 7 days was asphyxia(48.6%),and the main death causes ior those who died after 7 days were deformity(34.5%)and hemorrhage(34.5%).The most common death cause for premature bahies Was hyaline membrane disease(29.7%),and the most common one for term infants was congenital heart disease(23.3%).In the past 5 years.asphyxia Was still the most common death causein our country,those who died of infection were on the rise and the deformed babies increased too;on the contrary.those who died of obstetric causes and hemorrhage decreased.Conclusion Neonatal mortality could be reduced by prenatal management,prevention of premature delivery,improvement of the cooperation between pediatrics and obstetrics,and better management of NICU.

Abstact:Objective To explore the effect of different arrangement of hollow screws in treatment of femoral neck fracture.Methods The clinical data of 160 cases with femoral neck fracture from March 2010 to May 2014 in our hospital were collected.They were randomly di-vided into triangle group and inverted triangle group according to arrangement of hollow screws.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy frequency in operation,length of stay,time of fracture healing,postoperative complications,Harris score and functional recovery of two groups were recorded and compared.Results The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in inverted triangle group were lower than those in triangle group,the difference was significant(P <0.05).The shortening rate of inverted triangle group and triangle group were 10%and 26.3% respectively.The shortening rate of inverted triangle group was lower than those of triangle group,the difference was significant (P <0.05).For the fluoroscopy frequency in operation,average hospitalization time,fracture healing time,rate of nonunion and femoral head necrosis,Harris score and functional recovery,there was no statistical significance between two groups(P >0.05).Conclusion Inverted tri-angle hollow screws treating femoral neck fracture makes surgery operation easier,operative time shorter and blood loss smaller.

Objective To investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 7(MMP7)in paraquat(PQ)?induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats. Methods Forty?eight SD rats were randomly divided into the control group and the pulmonary fibrosis model group(PQ model group),each group of twenty?four rats. Rats in the PQ model group received single intraperitoneal injection of 4 mg/mL PQ dilute solution and the control group were in?traperitoneal injected with the same dose of saline. Eight rats of each group were sacrificed on day 7,day14 and day 28 respectively. The pathological changes of lung tissues were observed and the hydroxyproline(HYP)content in lung tissues was determined. The severity of pulmonary fibrosis was observed. The expressions of MMP7 in lungs were observed by immunohistochemistry. Results The observation of general state of the experimental animals showed that except one rat died at day 28 d,all other rats survived to the end point of observation. After intraperitoneal injection with PQ,the weight of rats in the PQ model group gradually declined,and then increased around day 14,yet still much lower than that in the control group at day 28(P<0.05). After intraperitoneal injection with PQ,the pulmonary index in the model group increased gradually and then decreased after reach?ing the peak on day 14. The content of HYP in rat lung tissues in the PQ model group was remarkably higher than in the control group at day 7,day 14,and day 28,with statistical significance(P<0.01). In the PQ model group,the content of HYP was significantly up?regulated with the extension of infected time and reached the peak value at day 28. The results of HE staining showed significant pulmonary alveolitis at day 7,hyperplasia of abundant collagen fibers in alveolar septum at day 14,and obvious pulmonary fibrosis and collapse of alveolar structure on day 28 in the lung tissues of the PQ model group. A weak expression of MMP7 was measured in the lung tissues in the control group and the expression of MMP7 was higher in the PQ model group than in the control group at day 7,day 14,and day 28,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Conclusion Paraquat poison?ing was mainly manifested in inflammatory reactions of lung tissues in the early stage together with increase of fibroblasts and mainly in fibrosis in the late stage. The expression of MMP7was increased along with the severity of pulmonary alveolitis or fibrosis and showed significant changes compared to the control group at day 28 after poisoning,indicating that MMP7may be the marker of paraquat?induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective To compare the effects of propofol versus midazolam on serum hydrocortisone in the aged traumatic brain injury. Methods 64 patients (aged 65-72 years) with traumatic brain injury during mechanical ventilation were divided into propofol group (n=32) and midazolam group(n=32).The hemodynamics data,intracranial pressure(ICP) and the calculated cerebral perfusion pressure(CPP) were recorded.The serum hydrocortisone of patients was detectedby enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 24 h,72 h and 4 weeks in intensive care unit(ICU). Results There was no differences in partial pressure of carbon dioxide,heart rate,meanartery pressure,pulse biood oxygen saturation (SpO2 ),armpit temperature,endexpiratory gas(PEr CO2),intraeranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral pertusion pressure (CPP) between the two groups (P＞0.05).The serum hydrocortisone in propofol group at 24 h and 72 h [(269.7±43.2) nmol/L and (235.0±67.0) nmol/L] were lower than in midazolam group [(278.0±75.5) nmol/L and (243.2±42.4) nmol/L] (t=5.312 and 5.919,both P=0.000).The serum hydrocortisone in propofol and midazolam group at 4 weeks were (209.1±73.9) nmol/L and (210.8±66.6) nmol/L,respectively,no significant difference was found(t=0.075,P =0.938). Conclusions There is a significant difference in the effects of propofol and midazolam on the early level of hydrocortisone in the aged patients with traumatic brain injury.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an important part of modern medicine. Application of modern ana-lytical techniques to identify the authenticity of TCM and evaluate its quality is an important and critical content in the process of the modernization and internationalization of TCM. This paper described the development and charac-teristics of a 1H-NMR-based metabolomics technology, and reviewed its application in the species identification, quality evaluation of Daodi Y aocai (i.e., genuine medicinal materials), processing theory and the best harvest time of TCM. Besides, based on previous work, further discussion was given on technical methods and key question of the 1H-NMR metabolomics method. This paper provided a methodological reference for the species identification and quality evaluation of TCM and other herbal medicines.

Objective To evaluate the effects of recombinant human bone morphogenetic-2-polylactide sustained release nanospheres (rhBMP-2-PLA-Ns) on cultured rabbit osteoblasts in vitro. Methods Rabbit osteoblasts were cultured in vitro, and rhBMP-2-PLA-Ns was added into the medium of the third generation of rabbit osteoblasts. The expression of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was examined by immunofluoreacence staining, and the formation of tuberculums observed with alizarin red staining. Western blot was used to detect the effects of rhBMP-2-PLA-Ns on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which was compared with that in rhBMP-2 group and blank group. Results There was no significant difference in the number of osteoblasts with positive PCNA expression among three groups five days later. Ten days later, the number of osteoblasts with positive PCNA expression in rhBMP-2-PLA-Ns group was significantly higher than that in rhBMP-2 group and blank group, which indicated that rhBMP-2-PLA-Ns could enhance the expression of PCNA. Compared with rhBMP-2 group and blank group, rhBMP-2-PLA-Ns could significantly enhance the formation of tuberculums, with statistical difference (P<0.05). The expression of VEGF was detected in all three groups, and the level of the VEGF expression in rhBMP-2-PLA-Ns group was significantly higher than that in the other 2 groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The biological activity of rhBMP-2-PLA-Ns is superior than that of rhBMP2, and rhBMP-2-PLA-Ns can promote the proliferation, mineralization of osteoblasts and the secretion of VEGF, which has a better prospect in facilitating traumatic bone healing.
