Objective To explore the the cellular damage of hippocampus neuron in a rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Methods Rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion was established by permanent bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion (2VO). Eight weeks after the operation,the brains were removed and examined with histological stains, electron microscope, flow cytometer and Western Blotting. Results Compared with the control group,the arrangement of hippocampus neurons in 2VO rats appeared to be more irregular, and the number of the neurons decreased partly ( CA2: ( 34.75 ± 3.40) vs (49.25 ± 9.67 ), P < 0. 05; DG: ( 73.50 ± 9.26)vs ( 90.75 ± 4.35 ), P < 0. 05 ). By electron microscopic study of hippocampus neurons in 2VO rats, the nuclei became smaller and the heterochromatin assembled in the border of the nuclei in some neurons, while cytoplasm swelled,especially in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. The rate of apoptosis of hippocampus neurons in 2VO rats( (9. 117 ±2. 540)% ) ,detected by the flow cytometer,was higher than that of sham group( (4. 750 ±3.481 ) % ) (P < 0. 05 ). The expression of pro-caspase-3 in hippocampus of 2 VO rats was not altered significantly compared with the control group(P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion The cellular damage of hippocampus neuron in 2VO rats was mainly caused by apoptosis.

OB J ECT I V E To explore the adjacentpatterns between adenoid and Eustachian cushion in hypertrophic adenoid children and to study its relationship with otitis media with effusion(OME). METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted in 144 cases of pediatric adenoidal hypertrophy(or concurrenttonsil hypertrophy) admitted for adenoid ablation under the 700 nasal endoscope. Children were divided into 3 groups(TypeⅠ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ) according to adjacentpatterns between adenoid and Eustachian cushion.The incidence of OME, severe hypertrophy of adenoid(A/N>0.7) in differentgroup were analyzed. RESULTS There were 34 children (23.6%) with OME, 3 (9.1%) in type Ⅰ, 10(16.9%) in type Ⅱ and 21(40.4%) in type Ⅲ. No significantdifference was existed between the incidence of OME in type Ⅰ and Ⅱ. In contrast, significantdifference were found in the incidence of OME between the type Ⅲ and type Ⅰ, Ⅱ. The incidence of severe adenoid hypertrophy was 34.9% in typeⅠandⅡ children and 82.2% in type Ⅲ children(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Adjacentpatterns between adenoid and Eustachian cushion, the degree of adenoid hypertrophy play an importantrole in the incidence of OME.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of neonatal-onset carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency (CPS1D). Methods Clinical data and result of genetic detection of one neonate with CPS1D were retrospectively analyzed. The pertinent literature was reviewed. Results A 3-day old girl, with onset symptoms of nonspecific performance, such as poor feeding, less activity, tachypnea, and seizures. After fasting, anti-infection, and respiratory support etc. the condition was improved. However, the condition deteriorated and developed rapidly after feeding restarted. MRI showed extensive cerebral white matter lesions. Blood ammonia?>?500 μmol/L. Gene detection found two heterozygous mutations in pathogenic gene CPS1 in twentieth exon of c.2407C?>?G (p.803, R, G) and fourth exon C.323G?>?A (p.108, G, E), according to which CPS1D was diagnosed finally. Conclusions For neonate with normal birth, had feeding difficulty, seizures, and consciousness disorder after establishment of normal feeding, if blood ammonia level significantly increased, the blood and urine amino acids analysis and gene detection should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
