Objective To investigate the influence of different intervention models on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children. Methods Eighty-eight children aged from 12-46 months and newly diagnosed ASD were randomly assigned to different intervention models, including standard intervention group (T1, n=55), non-standard intervention group (T2, n=11), and family intervention group (T3, n=22). The intervention data was recorded including time and methods. Chinese revised version of Psycho-Educational Profile (C-PEP) and social adaptive behavior scale were used to test the development quota?tion (DQ) before and after intervention. Results There were significant statistical differences in C-PEP scale and pathologi?cal score before and after intervention in T1 group (P<0.01). There were significant differences in the pathological score, in?terpersonal and cooperative behaviors, sensory patterns and language barriers after intervention in T2 group (P<0.05). And there were no significant changes in the developmental quotient. The perception, gross motor, cognitive performance and the developmental quotient of oral cognition were significantly reduced after the intervention in T3 group (P<0.05). There was no significant change in pathology score. Results showed that there were significant differences in the imitation, perception, cognitive performance, oral cognition and general development before and after the intervention between three groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion A significant effect is found in children with autism spectrum disorder after standard intervention.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the feasibility of detecting of Y-STR of fetal DNA in maternal plasma using Ion Torrent PGM™ System.
METHODS:
A total of 16 fetal DNA samples from maternal plasmas (8 cases from 38 weeks gestational age and 8 ones from 12 weeks) were prepared and a multiplex assay with 7 STR loci (DYS390, DYS391, DYS393, DYS438, DYS437, DYS456, DYS635) was designed for multiplex-PCR amplification. Using Ion Torrent PGM™ System, the results of Y-STR sequences and capillary electrophoresis were obtained and compared.
RESULTS:
Y-STR specific alleles were detected in the maternal plasma of all the pregnant women having male babies of second and third trimester, which were higher than that detected by capillary electrophoresis. Consistent Y-STR genotypes were observed between fetal DNA from maternal plasma and genomic DNA from the newborn babies.
CONCLUSION
Based on Ion Torrent PGM™ System, the prenatal Y-STR detection method may provide a high-sensitive and high-throughput choice for prenatal STR detection in forensic testing.

Method Based on the retrospective analysis, the clinical data of 72 patients with cardiac arrest with restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in ICU were collected, including happening place of cardiac arrest, the type of rhythm first monitored after cardiac arrest, cause of cardiac arrest, incidence of SIRS and MODS, the position and number of organ dysfunction, success rate of CPR, the rate of survival to hospital discharge and cerebral performance categories(CPC) of discharged patients. Results ①In patients with ROSC after cardiac arrest, male to female ratio was 1.18:1,55 cases was happened in hospital and 17 cases was happened out of hospital, and the ratio was 3.24:1. ②The distribution of cardiac arrest place: ICU,emergency room and operating room were the major places of in-hospital cardiac arrest, adding up to 41 cases and accounting for 74.55% (41/55); the major places of outhospital cardiac arrest were on the way to hospital and in the ambulance, and accounting for 64.71% (11/ 17). ③According to the rhythm first monitored after cardiac arrest, there were 38 cases using shock and 32 cases using non-shock, the ratio was 1.12: 1. Cardiac arrest causes of cardiogenic and on-cardiogenic factors are 37 cases and 35 cases, a ratio of 1.06:1 .④All of the 72 cases, 16 cases died within 24 h, and 56 cases were successfully resuscitated, but 51 cases occurred SIRS after ROSC, 42 cases had combined MODS (42/56,75%), 27 cases(27/42,64.29%)died.The most involving organs in sequence were brain (38 cases, 90.48%), heart (35 cases,83.33%) and lung (28 cases, 66.67%). ⑤Among the 56 successfully resuscitated patients, MODS ( - ) group (14 cases) all survived, 15 cases in MODS ( + ) group (42 cases) survived, a total rate of survived to hospital discharge was 40.28%(29/72). All the MODS ( - ) group ( 14 cases) got CPC 1 point. In MODS ( + ) group, there were 7 cases getting CPC 1-2 point, 35 cases getting CPC 3-5 point. There were no significant difference between sex and age in the two groups (P > 0.05), while the comparison of CPC and survived to hospital discharge rate had statistically significance (P < 0.001). Conclusions The occurrence of SIRS in cardiac arrest patients with ROSC was common and there was high incidence of MODS subsequently. The heart and brain were the mostly involved dysfunctional organs. PR-MODS was an important factor influencing the prognosis of patients with cardiac arrest.

Objective:To investigate the effects of oxymatrine(OM)on the apoptosis of human hepatoma HepG2 cells and its possible mechanisms.Methods:HepG2 cells were treated with different concentrations of OM.The proliferation inhibition was measured by MTT assay and the apoptosis of HepG2 cells were examined by Hochest staining method.Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate.The expression of caspase-3,Bcl-2,Bcl-x_L and Bax proteins was assayed by Western blotting assay.Results:OM inhibited HepG2 cells growth in a time-and dose-dependent manner.After treatment with OM for 24 hours,some cells appeared typical apoptotic characteristics and the apoptosis rate was increased. Treatment with OM also increased caspase-3 activity and Bax expression in HepG2 cells,and decreased the expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x_L.Conclusion:OM can induce HepG2 cell apoptosis,which may be related to the down-regulation of PI3K/Akt signal pathway,suppression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x_L activity,and activation of caspase-3.
