OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between ulcerative colitis (UC) and lung injuries by assessing their clinical manifestations and characteristics.

METHODSFrom July 2009 to April 2012, 91 UC patients presenting to Longhua Hospital who met the established inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in this retrospective study. According to the scores of disease activity index, the patients were divided into the mild, moderate, and severe groups. Meanwhile, the records of pulmonary symptoms, chest X-ray image, and pulmonary function were reviewed.

RESULTSSixty-eight (74.7%) patients had at least 1 pulmonary symptom, such as cough (38.5%), shortness of breath (27.5%), and expectoration (17.6%). And 77 (84.6%) had at least 1 ventilation abnormality. Vital capacity value was significantly lower in the severe group than that in the mild group (91.82%±10.38% vs. 98.92%±12.12%, P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSLung injury is a common extraintestinal complication of UC. According to the theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine that the lung and large intestine are related, both the lungs and large intestine should be treated simultaneously.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of a new polyclonal antibody specific to fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and its application in enrichment of circulating fetal nucleated red blood cell(NRBC) for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis. Methods A polyclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide comprising residues 69-78 of the γ-chain of HbF was prepared and conjugated to carrier protein KLH as the immunogen according to the specific antigenic determinant. The peptide-KLH solution was mixed with freund's complete or incomplete adjuvant and immunized goat to prepare specific polyclonal antibody against the γ-chain of fetal hemoglobin. After purification with protein G, maternal blood was obtained from 32 pregnant women at 22 to 39 weeks of gestation. NRBCs were separated and then stained with antibody against the γ chain of HbF. All the positive cells were collected by micromanipulator under microscopic observation, and whole genome was amplified by improved primer extension preamplification (PEP). Multiplex polymerase chain reaction amplification at nine different polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) loci was also used to determine origin of the positive cells isolated from maternal blood. Results NRBCs stained with antibody against the γ chain of HbF were found in all of the blood from the 32 cases. Attached positive cells with anti-HbF staining have unique morphological characteristics, low nucleus-to-cytoplasm ratio, brown cytoplasm and blue dense nucleus after hematoxylin counterstain under microscopic observation, which can distinguished NRBCs with other cells. A total of 183 NRBCs were found in all of 32 pregnant women at a range of 0.6～1.8 cell/ml venous blood. The accurate rate was 90.6% by the STR genotype identification. Conclusion The antibodies specific to fetal γ-chain of fetal hemoglobin with synthetic peptide technology may have wide clinical utility in identification of fetal NRBCs from maternal circulation for non-invasive prenatal genetic diagnosis.

Objective To describe the characteristics of and emergency treatment for and outcomes of critical ill children with 2009 influenza A caused by H1N1 virus strain. Method A prospective observational study of 3 pediatric patients with severe influenza A of H1N1 virus strain complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from November to December 2009. Results The H1N1 virus strain was confirmed by using realtime reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (Real-time RT-PCR). Two patients survived and one died. Fever and cough were the onset symptoms. The systemic responses to influenza A at first were relatively mild. The tragic deterioration occurred all of a sudden with cyanosis all over the lips and dyspnea. The roentgenography showed bilateral multiple tabular pulmonary effusion and diffuse opaque shadows. The length of time required to confirm the diagnosis of ARDS from the symptom onset was 4 to 6 days. All patients were severely hypoxic with the ratio of PaO2 to 0.7-0.9 fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) to be 70- 100 mmHg at admission to PICU. In order to avoid injury to the lung, the protective ventilation strategy was carried out with low tidal volume (6 mL/kg) and adequate pressure,and conservative fluid management. Conclusions The H1N1 strain influenza virus A is characterized by pyrexia, cough and other respiratory symptoms in the early stage of critically ill children. In a few days, cough increased along with a sudden burst of cyanotic lips and shortness of breath, highly suggesting ARDS. Timely oxygen therapy and respiratory support, conservative fluid management, and the prophylaxis of secondary infection may be the essential measures. More clinical data are needed to clarify the critical features and to evaluate the emergency therapy for H1N1 influenza A in critically ill children.

Objective To investigate the impact of previous cystectomy for ovary benign cyst on ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) cycles. Methods Totally 622 infertility patients were retrospectively investigated who underwent first IVF/ICSI-ET cycle in Reproductive Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from January 2013 to June 2014. There were 153 cases who had been removed ovarian cyst by cystectomy surgeries recruited as study group, in which 44 cases of ovarian endometriosis cyst, 35 cases of benign ovarian teratomas, 67 cases of simple ovarian cyst and 7 cases of ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. In contrast, 469 infertility patients with tubal-factor infertility or male factor were included as control group. The age-matched women in the control group had no ovarian surgery previously. The indicators of ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome were analyzed between two groups. The influence of different types of ovarian cysts on ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome in IVF/ICSI-ET cycles were also studied, ovarian endometriosis cyst was studied as Group A, and Group B consisted of benign ovarian teratomas, simple ovarian cyst and mucinous cystadenoma. Results (1) The significantly lower serum antimullerian hormone (AMH) level (median: 1.92 versus 2.90 mg/L), antral follicle count (AFC; median: 12.0 versus 13.0), retrieved oocytes (12 ± 5 versus 13 ± 6) and the number of embryo cryopreserved (median:1.0 versus 3.0) were found in study group compared with control group (all P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between two group for the following parameters, such as basal FSH level, the total dosage of gonadotropin duration and the total dosage of gonadotropin (all P>0.05). A better clinical pregnancy rate was achieved in control group (61.6%, 241/391) than that in study group (61.4%, 81/132), but no significant difference was existed (P=0.96). (2) Compared to Group B, Group A had fewer AFC, lower serum AMH level, retrieved oocytes and the number of embryo cryopreserved (11±4 versus 13±5;1.65 versus 2.15 mg/L;9±4 versus 13±5;0 versus 2.0;all P<0.01). There was a lower clinical pregnancy rate in Group A than that in Group B [50.0% (19/38) versus 66.0%(62/94)], accompanying with higher abortion rate [3/19 versus 9.7%(6/62)], but no differences were observed (all P>0.05). Conclusions Ovarian reserve declines after the cystectomy for ovarian benign cysts and the cystectomy has a negative impact on IVF/ICSI-ET cycle, resulting in a decrease of the number of retrieved oocytes and the number of embryo cryopreserved, but do not influence clinical pregnancy outcome. Ovarian reserve is impaired more seriously by cystectomy for ovarian endometriosis cyst than other ovarian benign cyst.
