Objective To evaluated the improving effect of training method of point-line-plane on development quotient in premature infants with brain injury.Methods 174 cases of premature children with brain injury were randomly divided into study group (89 cases) and control group (85 cases).Control group given Bobath and Vojta traditional rehabilitation training,and the study group was given training method of point-line-plane.Patients in both groups were evaluated synthetically based on The Evaluation Chart on Neu-robehavioral Development of Children Aged 0-6 Years,developed by Capital Institute of Pediatrics,prior to the treatment,and after the first,the second,and the third course of the training programs,respectively.Re-sults The score of developmental quotient ( DQ) between study group and control group was no significantly different(P>0.05).Compared with before treatment, the scores of DQ was significantly increased after the first, the second and the third course of training treatment in study group and control group((82.71±12.28) vs (81.17±9.63), t=0.859, P>0.05;(89.65±10.02) vs (87.02±7.39), t=1.747, P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the scores of DQ in study group was no significant difference after the first and the second course of treatment,but there was significantiy different after the third course treatment((95.26±8.87) vs (91.31±7.63), t=2.945, P=0.004).Conclusion The training method of point-line-plane can improve the clinical efficacy of premature infants with brain injury at the early phase, which is worth widely applying in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the correlation between hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression and activation of phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase and serine/threonine kinase signal pathway in the hippocampus of developing rats after status epilepticus (SE).Methods Fifty-four SD rats aged 21 days were randomly divided into control group (n=24),SE group (n=24),wortmannin treatment group (n=6); SE rat models of the SE group were induced by intraperitoneal injection of 1％ 1,5-Pentamethylenetetrazole (PTZ); rats of the control group received injection of normal saline (NS); for wortmannin treatmnet group,the rats received intraperitoneal injection ofwortmannin 30 minutes before the inducement; the brain tissues were harvested from the rats at 1,4,8 and 24 h after the inducement,but only at 4 h in the wortmannin treatment group.The HIF-1α and Akt positive cells were detected with irnmunohistochemistry method.HIF-1α,Akt and p-Akt protein expressions were measured by Western blotting.Results In SE group,the HIF-1α expression began to occur at 1 h,significantly increased at 4 h after inducement,reached the peak level at 8 h,and began to decrease at 24 h; Akt protein positive cells showed no significant difference between each two time points; the p-Akt protein was significantly increased at 1 h,reached the peak level at 4 h and began to decrease at 8 h.However,the expression levels of HIF-1α and p-Akt protein in the control group were extremely low at each time point.So,the HIF-1α expression level in the SE vehicle group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P＜0.05); the p-Akt protein expression in SE group at 1,4 and 8 h was significantly higher than that in the control group (P＜0.05).The changes of Akt protein in the SE group were not time-dependent,and no significant difference was evident when it was compared with that of the control group (P＞0.05).Using wortmannin,the PI3K/Akt specific inhibitor,HIF-lα protein expression was significantly decreased when it was compared with the SE vehicle group (P＜0.05).Conclusion After status epilepticus in the developing rats,the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is activated and the pathway involves in regulating the HIF-1α expression.

Objective:To investigate the features and advantages of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) applied in children with kidney diseases as well as the correlation between ambulatory blood pressure and clinical indicators.Methods:The clinical data of children with kidney diseases who were hospitalized and received ABPM in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from March 2012 to March 2018 were collected.Clinical blood pressure and ABPM indicators were analyzed and compared between different clinical groups.Results:(1) Among 170 cases enrolled, 69 cases (40.6%) were hypertension by measuring clinical blood pressure, 54 cases (31.8%) were ambulatory hypertension, 43 cases (25.3%) of whom had severe ambulatory hypertension, 17 cases (10.0%) had white coat hypertension, 41 cases (24.1%) were defined as masked hypertension, and 139 cases (81.8%) had impaired circadian rhythm of blood pressure.(2) Ninety-five point nine percent (163/170 cases) were detected of abnormal blood pressure by ABPM, and the rate was significantly higher than that detected by clinical blood pressure (40.6%, 69/170 cases) ( χ2=149.176, P<0.001). In the 40 cases who were administrated with antihypertensive drugs, 95.0%(38 cases) were detected to have anomalous blood pressure by ABPM, significantly more than that detected by clinical blood pressure(42.5%, 17/40 cases)( χ2=10.208, P=0.001). (3) Logistic regression analysis indicated that a prolonged clinical course of more than 3 months, obesity and nephrotic-range proteinuria were the risk factors of ambulatory hypertension, and the odd ratios were 5.345, 3.530 and 6.560, respectively.Circadian rhythm disorders of blood pressure were more common in the children with abnormal renal function than in those with normal renal function[89.7%(52/58 cases) vs.75.9%(85/112 cases)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.626, P=0.031). Conclusions:Children with kidney diseases have a high incidence of hypertension.ABPM plays a key role in detecting hypertension and recognizing white coat hypertension.Nephrotic-range proteinuria and obesity are risk factors for ambulance hypertension, and abnormal renal function is associated with nocturnal blood pressure disorders.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of alantolactone (ALT) on proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of human osteosarcoma 143B cells and the underlying mechanism. Methods: Osteosarcoma 143B cells were treated with different concentrations of ALT (0, 4, 6, 8, 10 µmol/L). Then, the cell proliferation ability was detected by crystal violet staining and MTT assay, cell migration was determined by Wound-healing test, cell invasion was analyzed by Transwell assay and cell apoptosis rate was detected by Hoechst33258 staining. The mRNA and protein expressions of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3 (c-caspase-3), poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) and cleaved PARP (c-PARP) in 143B cells were detected by qPCR and Western blotting (WB), respectively. TCF/LEF (T cell lymphocyte factor/lymphoid enhancer factor) transcriptional activity was examined with Luciferase reporter gene assay. The mRNA and protein expressions of β-catenin as well as MMP-7 and c-Myc were detected by qPCR and WB, respectively. Results: ALT inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma143B cells and promoted apoptosis(P<0.05or P<0.01). After the treatment with ALT at 8, 10 µmol/L, the mRNA and protein expressions of E-cadherin and PARP, as well as the protein expressions of c-caspase-3 and c-PARP were up-regulated, while the mRNA and protein expressions of N-cadherin were downregulated (P<0.05 or P<0.01);At the sametime, theTCF/LEF transcriptional activity and the mRNA and protein expressions of β-catenin, MMP-7 and c-Myc were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion:ALT may inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion and promote cell apoptosis possibly through suppressing Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in osteosarcoma 143B cells.
