1.Role of extracellular histones in sepsis
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;(4):371-374
Sepsis is a common desease with a high mortality in pediatric intensive care unit. The patho-genesis of sepsis remains unclear. Recent studies have found that extracellular histones play an important role in the incidence of sepsis. This review provides new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.
2. Mesenchymal stem cells: A delivery vehicle for cancer therapy
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2011;32(10):1030-1034
Stem cells possess unlimited self-renewal properties and the ability to produce multiple differentiation progenitors. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can specifically migrate to multiple kinds of tumors and their metastases in a systemic manner(to all parts of the body). Therefore genetically modified MSCs can serve as vehicle of anticancer factors to inhibit growth of tumor. But many questions remain to be answered and the precise mechanisms remain unclear. This paper reviews the mechanism of MSC homing, MSCs as delivery vectors for cancer therapy and its advantages over traditional drug vehicle. MSCs as delivery vectors can be used for cellular therapy in future cancer treatment.

Objective To study the effects of tetrahydroxy stilbene glucoside(TSG)on H2O2‐induced apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)and on the expressions of X‐linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP)and p53.Methods HUVECs were cultured in vitro and divided into 6 groups:control group ,300 μmol/L H2O2 group ,1 μmol/L TSG+ 300 μmol/L H2O2 group ,10 μmol/L TSG+300 μmol/L H2O2 group ,100 μmol/L TSG+ 300 μmol/L H2O2 group ,30μmol/L Embelin+ 10 μmol/L TSG+ 300 μmol/L H2O2 group.The morphology of apoptotic cells was observed by Hoechst 33258 staining.The mRNA and protein expressions of XIAP ,p53 ,Caspase‐3 were detected by RT‐PCR and Western blotting , respectively.Results The number of apoptotic cells and the expression level of p53 were significantly increased while the ex‐pression level of XIAP was dramatically decreased in H2O2 group as compared with control group.The expression level of p53 and the number of apoptotic cells were down‐regulated while the expression level of XIAP was up‐regulated after treatment with 10 or 100 μmol/L TSG when compared with H2O2group.Moreover ,compared with those in 10 μmol/L TSGgroup ,the number of apoptotic cells and the expression of Caspase‐3 were significantly enhanced after pretreatment with 30 μmol/L Embelin for 6 h.Conclusion TSG can inhibit H2O2‐induced apoptosis of HUVECs by down‐regulating the expression level of p53 and up‐reg‐ulating the expression level of XIAP.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic repair in children with congenital esophageal hiatal hernia. Methods From September 2001 to December 2008,seven children with congenital esophageal hiatal hernia,including 4 boys and 3 girls,were treated by laparoscopic repair and Nissen's fundoplication in our hospital. One of them received laparoscopic pyloroplasty in the meanwhile because of delayed gastric emptying (confirmed by preoperative gastrointestinal angiography); one child underwent laparoscopic high ligation due to right oblique inguinal hernia; spleneolus was found in one patient,no further treatment was carried out. Results The procedures were completed in all of the patients without conversion to open surgery. The mean operation time was 94.2 min (75-150 min) in this series,and the average blood loss was 5 ml (2-10 ml). No patient received blood transfusion after the surgery. The children began to intake milk or regular diet in 24-48 hours after the operation. They were discharged from hospital in a mean of 4.5 days (ranged from 3 to 7 days). Then,the children were followed up for 6 to 20 months (mean,12.6 months). One of the patients suffered from vomiting on the 10th day after the operation,1 patient showed recurrence in 1 year postoperation and then was cured by a second operation. The other five patients were healthy during the follow-up. Conclusions Laparoscopic repair of congenital esophageal hiatal hernia is a safe,effective,and minimally invasive procedure. It is feasible for patients complicated with other diseases. The indications for the surgery must be strictly selected.

Objective To explore the value of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for children with duplex kidney.Methods Between June 2006 and February 2009,we performed laparoscopic partial nephrectomy on totally 21 children with duplex kidney.Three or four trocars were used for the operation.Through transabdominal approach the peri-renal tissues were freed and the vessels supplying the duplicated kidney were ligated.Afterwards,we resected the duplicated kidney,as well as the ureter,and a subperitoneal drainage tube was indwelt.Results The operation was completed in all of the 21 cases without conversion to open surgery.The mean operation time for laparoscopy was 190 min(range,130 to 210 min).The intraoperative blood loss ranged from 5 to 10 ml.No patient received blood transfusion.Liquid diet was given in 8 to 10 hours after the operation.In this series,the postoperative hospital stay ranged from 5 to 7 days with a mean of 6.2 days.Follow-up was available for 3 to 28 months in the cases(mean,20.2 months).During the period,the clinical symptoms disappeared and B ultrasonography showed no abnormalities.Conclusions Providing larger operation space and better exposed surgical field,laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for children with duplex kidney is feasible and safe with quicker recovery.

The expression of ZNF191 mRNA in 31 ovarian malignant tumors and 31 normal ovary tissues were investigated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). It was found that expression level of ZNF191 mRNA in malignant ovarian tumors was much less than that in normal ovary tissues (P

Objective To study the effect of morphine used in epidural anesthesia on puerpera after cesarean section and the safety of morphine to neonate. Method One hundred puerpera undergone cesarean section were randomly divided into test group and control group with continuous 2% lidocaine epidural anesthesia, as soon as the operation were finished, 2 mg morphine was injected into vacum epidurale for test group, nothing for control group. Colostrum and plasma, urine samples of puerpera and neonate were collected, morphine and metabolite level were tested by GC-MS and FPIA. Result Morphine concentrations ranged from 0.05). Conclusion As the epidural analgesia medicine after cesarean section, morphine has no side-effect to neonate and is safe to neonate.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on treatment of the late-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR). MethodsSixty-one pregnant women, who were first diagnosed as FGR after 32 weeks, were voluntarily devided into group-A (Routine management, n=28) an d group-B (HBO combined with routine management, n=33). Thirty cases of normal pregnant women were served as control group, called group-C (n=30).Results(1)Before treatment, the values of umbilical artery systolic/diastolic Ratio (S/D), pulse index (PI), resistant index (RI) and the blood viscosity at the low shear rate (LBV) of both group-A and group-B were significantly higher than those of group-C, P
