Objective To observe the intervention effect of electro-acupuncture(EA) on mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) expression in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) newborn rats. Methods Seven-day-old SD rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups, namely sham-surgery group, HIE model group, and EA group. All of the groups were subdivided into 4 subgroups in terms of 4 time periods of 1, 3, 7 and 21 day(s). Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used for the observation of histological changes in the affected cerebral region. Expression levels of cerebral mTOR were detected with Western blotting method. Results The results of HE staining showed that EA group at experimental day 21 had clear organizational structure, ordered arrangement of neurons, relieved cellular swelling, well cell integrity with clear nucleolus and proliferative glial cells. Compared with the sham-surgery group, mTOR level of the model group was dramatically increased on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 21st day(P<0.05), and the mTOR expression level of EA group was significantly higher than that in the model group at the above time points (P < 0.05). Conclusion EA can promote mTOR expression in brain tissue and can protect the brain of newborn rats from HIE.

Proteomics is an emerging discipline and has been widely used in a variety of fields despite of having very short history in comparison with other disciplines. In Chongqing Medical Univer-sity, the course contents were adjusted to fulfill the most effective integration of proteomics research with postgraduate training program for medical university. Diverse teaching was advocated here and af-ter-school communications were greatly encouraged in teaching. Traditional multimedia teaching plat-form remained the main teaching way and students were organized to visit the research platform as supplementing teaching way. The overall quality and effectiveness of teaching were effectively improved by successful implementation of the above initiatives.

Objective:To measure the pubo-femoral distance of hips of the infants diagnosed with Graf type Ⅰ by high frequency ultrasound.Methods:A total of 1 084 infants(2 168 hips) diagnosed with Graf type Ⅰ by ultrasonography were collected in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from June 2019 to May 2020. The ultrasonographic examinations included Graf method and pubo-femoral distance measurement. The 95% medical reference value was adopted to confirm range of normal values of the pubo-femoral distance. And the differences of the pubo-femoral distance between different gender, age and bilateral hip were compared.Results:The pubo-femoral distance of hips diagnosed with Graf type Ⅰ was (0.27±0.06)cm, the pubo-femoral distance of males was(0.27±0.06)cm, the pubo-femoral distance of females was (0.27±0.07)cm. The 95% medical reference value was 0.15-0.38 cm. The 95% medical reference value of males was 0.15-0.39 cm, and the 95% medical reference value of females was 0.13-0.41 cm. There were no significant differences between the sexes or between the age(all P>0.05). The difference between the bilateral hip joints from the same infant was statistically significant[(0.274±0.064)cm vs (0.265±0.064)cm, P<0.05]. Conclusions:The 95% medical reference value of hip diagnosed with Graf type Ⅰ is 0.15-0.38 cm.

Objective:To explore the high-frequency ultrasonographic and clinical features of superficial intravascular tumors.Methods:Thirteen superficial intravascular tumor patients who underwent ultrasound examination form Beijing Jishuitan Hospital during 2016-2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The location, anatomic blood vessels, shape, size, boundary, internal echo, blood flow and clinical characteristics of the tumors were analyzed.Results:Among the 13 cases, most of the tumors were oval like or long strip, and a few were round like. All 11 cases of primary intravascular tumors showed hypoechoic mass; 2 cases of intravascular metastasis or recurrence showed solid hypoechoic with hyperechoic mass. Arterial blood flow spectrum was detected in 12 cases. Two patients with glomus tumor showed typical tenderness at the fixed point. Two patients had a history of bone tumors in the upper or lower extremities.Conclusions:High frequency ultrasound can clearly recognize the location of the superficial intravascular tumors, describe the morphological characteristics and sonographic features of the tumor, then help to make a more accurate qualitative diagnosis.

Objective:To discuss the value of pubo-femoral distance(PFD) in the diagnosis of infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH).Methods:Nine hundred and thirty-one infants with DDH and normal infants diagnosed by clinical examination and ultrasonography were involved from February 2022 to June 2023 in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. The ultrasonographic examination included Graf method and pubo-femoral distance measurement. Statistical analysis was made on the measurements of PFD of different types of hips.Results:Among all the hips, 1 359 hips were Graf type Ⅰ, 274 hips were Graf type Ⅱa, 166 hips were Graf type Ⅱb, 31 hips were Graf type Ⅱc, 7 hips were Graf type D, 13 hips were Graf type Ⅲ, and 12 hips were Graf type Ⅳ. The PFD of these hips were (0.34±0.07)cm, (0.35±0.08)cm, (0.35±0.08)cm, (0.51±0.11)cm, (0.67±0.09)cm, (0.95±0.26)cm, (1.27±0.30)cm, respectively. There was no significant difference in PFD between hips of Graf Ⅰ, Graf Ⅱa and Graf Ⅱb ( P>0.05), but there was significant difference in PFD between hips of the other Graf types ( P<0.05). The area under curve(AUC) of the PFD for the diagnosis of stability of the hips in infants was 0.959 with the cut-off value of 0.435 cm, the sensitivity and specificity were 88.9% and 90.4%, respectively. Conclusions:The PFD has great value in the evaluation of the stability of hip joint, and the cut-off value is 0.435 cm.

Many injury-causing factors, including burns and surgery, etc., can lead to the destruction of structure and function of skin. Suitable wound dressing or implant is the material basis to promote wound healing and regeneration. Biomaterials with micro-nano structure can affect cell behavior, promote orderly growth of cell in accordance with the structure. Their application in wound healing can promote angiogenesis, regulate immune response, and reduce scar area. In recent years, the application of biomaterials with ordered micro-nano structure in tissue engineering has attracted extensive attention. This paper introduces the structure and preparation methods of several biomaterials with ordered micro-nano structure, and focuses on how the surface microstructure of biomaterials affects the process of wound healing and its molecular mechanism, in order to find and develop medical biomaterials that are closer to the skin tissue structure for clinical wound treatment.
