ObjectiveTo investigate the cause,diagnosis and treatment measures of neonatal pneumothorax.MethodsThe clinical data of 98 cases with neonatal pneumothorax in our hospital from Mar 2005 to Mar 2010 were reviewed retrospectively.ResultsThere were 27 premature neonates and 71 full-term neonates in the 98 cases.Ten cases were spontaneous pneumothorax and 88 cases were non spontaneous pneumothorax.After the treatnent of primary disease,pleural aspiration,chest drainage and mechanical ventilation,88 cases were cured,8 cases were improved and 2 cases died.ConclusionNeonatal pneumothorax is related with cesarean section,improper use of endotracheal intubation,meconium aspiration,premature hyaline membrane disease using pulmonary surfactant and ventilator therapy.Most pneumothorax is due to lung disease.The prevention of preterm birth and asphyxia can reduce the incidence of neonatal pneumothorax.

BACKGROUND:After knee joint replacement, patients are often treated with Rivaroxaban and Enoxaparin Sodium for postoperative anticoagulation, avoiding the formation of deep vein thrombosis in lower limbs. OBJECTIVE:To explore the application effects of different anticoagulant drugs in patients with knee joint replacement. METHODS:Ninety patients underwent knee joint replacement in Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University from July 2011 to July 2014, were randomly divided into two groups, with 45 patients in each group. The experimental group was treated with Rivaroxaban, while the control group was treated with Enoxaparin. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Postoperative drainage volume, total blood transfusion, bleeding index, quantity of blood platelet, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin reduction time, whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, D-dimer coagulation index, HSS score at postoperative 2 weeks, average ecchymosis area, average thigh circumference, and average leg circumference were significantly better in the experimental group, than in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Experimental findings indicate that, both Rivaroxaban and Enoxaparin can exert anticoagulation effect during the knee joint replacement, and Rivaroxaban is better.

AIM: To investigate the effect of mfn2 on mitochondrial function in steatosis hepatocytes. METHODS: Plasmid pEGFP-mfn2 was transfected into hepatocyte strain L02 by Lipofectamine 2000 in vitro, then the steatosis model of hepatocytes was establish by oleic acid induction. RT-PCR was used to evaluate mRNA expression and Western blotting was use to detect the protein expression. ATP level was determined by firefly luciferase bioluminescent. ROS production was measured by fluorescence probe DCFH-DA. Chondrosome transmembrane potential of L02 was observed by labeling of JC-1 and FCM. RESULTS: The stable expression of ectogenesis mitofusin2 in L02 cells was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. In the model of oleic acids induced lipid formation, Mfn2 obviously inhibited the descent of chondrosome transmembrane potential and ATP level, and increased ROS production in L02 cells. CONCLUSION: Up-regulated expression of mfn2 attenuates mitochondria dysfunction caused by oleic acids induced lipid formation.

Conclusion It is feasible to identify deafness related genes by screening for GJB2 and SLC26A4 mutation, thus providing correct prenatal diagnosis and avoiding deaf delivery of baby.

This study on determination of leukemia-specific chromosomal abnormalities and their relationship with prognosis of childhood acute leukemia (AL) had an important significance for childhood acute leukemia. In recent years, the efficacy of treatment of childhood AL has been greatly improved, but relapse is still a main factor affecting prognosis. Treatment based on the risk stratification by cytogenetic abnormalities can improve the prognosis and survival rate. In the past 3 decades, the genetic techniques have developed rapidly and many new genetic abnormalities have been found. This review highlights the main chromosomal and genomic abnormalities of 3 common childhood AL, including B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

To evaluate the efficacy of Tuina and Chinese patent drug Shuxuetong injection in preventing patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty from deep venous thrombosis and in functional rehabilitation.

Objective Using STI and WMSI to evaluate the change of the heart sarcomere local systolic function which suffered from coronary heart disease (CHD), to evaluate the improvement of ischemic heart sarcomere local systolic function after PCI. Methods There are 40 CHD patients after PCI called the treatment group and 40 healthy persons called the control group. Echocardiogram was used to evaluate the change of ventricular wall motion score in the treatment group which was before and 1 week after PCI , compared with the control group. STI is used to get the SLs, GSL and SrLe of the left ventricle six walls in basal segment,middle segmentand apical segment systole. Results The ventricular wall motion index of the left ventricular myocardium obviously rose in CHD patients which was after PCI, compared with the control group (P < 0.05). And it obviously reduced in CHD patients after PCI, compared with CHD patients before PCI(P < 0.05). The results of SLs,GSL and SrLe are reduced in myocardial ischemia segment of CHD patients before PCI,compared with the control group (P < 0.05). But they are significantly improved in the the treatment group 1 week after PCI, compared to which is before PCI(P < 0.05). Conclusion STI and WMS can be used to evaluate the abnormal of regional and global function of myocardium which is caused to coronary artery stenosis the effect of PCI. The left ventricular motion function of CHD is decreased, but the left ventricle regional systolic function of hypokinetic segments in patients with CHD after PCI is significantly increased.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of Mailuoning injection combined with benazepril in the treat-ment of chronic glomerulonephritis. METHODS:130 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis were randomly divided into observa-tion group and control group,with 65 cases in each group. Both groups received rountine treatment as low salt and fat diet. Control group was additionally given Benazepril tablet 10 mg,qd;observation group was additionally given Mailuoning injection 20 ml added into 5% Sodium chloride injection 250 ml,ivgtt,qd,on the basis of control group,20 days of drug withdrawal every 10 days. Both group received 4 months of treatment. Clinical efficacy of 2 groups were observed as well as the levels of BUN,UCr, SCr and 24 h urine protein quantitative (UPE) before and after the treatment. The incidence of ADR was compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:Total effective rate of observation group was 83.1%,which was significantly higher than 67.7% of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in BUN,UCr,SCr and 24 h UPE between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05);those indexes of 2 groups decreased significantly after treatment,and the observation group were lower than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Mailuoning injection combined with benazepril is effective for chronic glo-merulonephritis,and can effectively improve renal function with good safety.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical related factors of leucopenia induced by azathioprine in the treatment of inflam-matory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS:Clinical information of 114 IBD patients were collected from our hospital during Jan. 2013-Mar. 2015. Steady concentration of AZA metabolite 6-thioguanine(6-TGNs)in red blood cell was determined by HPLC. The correlation of patient’s gender,age,diseases,AZA daily dose and blood concentration of 6-TGNs with leucopenia induced by AZA were investigated. The optimal critical value of leucopenia could be predicted with ROC curves. RESULTS:Among 114 IBD patients,40 patients suffered from leucopenia(35.1%). There was no statistical significance in the proportion of leucopenia among patients with different age,gender,diseases and AZA daily dose(P>0.05). There was statistical significance in the proportion of leucopenia among patients with different concentrations of 6-TGNs(P<0.05). Mean blood concentration of 6-TGNs in leukopenia patients [(407.82±262.88)pmol/(8×108)RBC] was higher than patients with normal leukocyte level [(275.85±118.37)pmol/(8× 108)RBC],with statistical significance(P<0.05). ROC curve predicted that the optimal critical value of leucopenia was blood con-centration of 6-TGNs>291.04 pmol/(8 × 108)RBC. CONCLUSIONS:AZA induced leucopenia may be related to the concentration of 6-TGNs in red blood cell of IBD patients,and high concentration of 6-TGNs is risk factors of leucopenia. Clinicians can provide AZA individual treatment for IBD patient to reduce the occurrence of leucopenia according to routine blood test and the concentra-tion of 6-TGNs.

Purpose To investigate whether FoxM1 participate in inhibitory effect of cisplatin (CDP) in resistant osteosarcoma cell lines by down-regulation of Rad51.Methods The resistant osteosarcoma cell lines were induced by gradually increasing dose intermittent action,and were named MG-63/R and HOS-MNNG/R respectively.The mRNA and protein level of FoxMl and Rad51 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis in resistant cells and parental cells.The mRNA and protein level of FoxM1 and Rad51 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis in resistant cells after treatment of 4 μmol/L Thiostrepton.The effect of single or combined treated of 4 tμmol/L Thiostrepton or 2 tμg/mL CDP on the rate of cell proliferation in resistant cells was examed by cell counting.Results Resistant osteosarcoma cell lines MG-63/R and HOSMNNG/R were established and stablely growthed in the concentration of 2 μg/mL CDP,and the resistance index was 30.52 and 37.87 respectively (severe CDP resistance).The mRNA and protein level of FoxM1 and Rad51 were significantly increaced in resistant cells compared with parental cells.The proliferation rate of resistant cells in conbination of 4 μmol/L Thiostrepton and 2 μg/mL CDP treated group was significantly lower than these two drugs single treated group.The level of mRNA and protein of FoxM1 and Rad51 were significantly decreased after 4 μmol/L Thiostrepton treatment in CDP resistant cells.Conclusion The results suggest that FoxM1 and Rad51 may participate in the resistant osteosarcoma cells to CDP.FoxM1 inhibitor Thiostrepton may strengthen the inhibitory effect of CDP in the resistant cells by down-regulation of Rad51.
