Airway problems in foetus that may cause airway obstruction can be safely managed by using an ex utero intrapartum technique(EXIT).The EXIT procedure maintains a period of uteroplacental circulation for fetal oxygenation during delivery to provide time to explore and secure the airway of the fetus or to perform fetal operations before the umbilical cord is clamped.The common indication for the EXIT procedure is the presence of foetal airway obstruction,which is usually caused by neck mass,congenital diaphragmatic hernia,congenital high way obstruction syndrome,thoracic abnormality,congenital heart and lung dysfunction,conjoined twins,and so on.It avoids the acute airway obstruction in a neonate that has disastrous consequences.

AIM: To study the antiproliferation of vitamin E succinate (VES) on pterygium fibroblasts in vitro and to find a potential agent for prevention and treatment of primary and recurrence pterygium.METHODS: Primary culture and subculture of pterygium fibroblasts were established in vitro ,and different concentrations of VES (0, 10 and 20mg/L) were added to subcultured fibroblasts, respectively. Influence of VES on the growth curve of fibroblast was observed at day 2, 4 and 7 after treatment of VES. 3- [4,5-Dimethylthiazolzyl]-2,5-Diphenyl Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay at 490nm was used to evaluate the effect of the cells proliferation.RESULTS: The addition of VES to culture caused the marked descent of growth curve in comparison with the control group, and the inhibiting rate of 10 and 20mg/L of VES was 33.2% and 46.7%, 67.9%, and 76.8%, 81.7% at day 2,4 and 7, respectively. VES could obviously inhibit the fibroblast proliferation in dose-dependent manner by MTT assay.CONCLUSION: VES can significantly inhibit the proliferation of pterygium fibroblast in vitro.

To explore the feasibility of stable expression of Hantavirus H8205 strain G1 segment and human IL-2 fusion gene in Vero cells, and to examine the immune protection effects on mice vaccinated with this recombinant eukaryotic expression vector containing Hantavirus G1 gene and IL-2 gene. With the help of lipofectamine, the Vero cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1/HisB-IL-2-G1 and the positive cells were selected by G418. IFAT and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis were used to determine the stable transfection and expression of recombinant protein. Each mouse was inoculated with plasmids intramuscularly (i.m.) three times, 2 boosts were given at 2-week intervals, serum anti-hantavirus antibodies were detected by ELISA and neutralizing antibodies (NAb) were detected by Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test. The fusion protein expressed in Vero cells was 78 kD, corresponding to the estimated molecular size. The neutralizing antibody titers of mice with pcDNA3.1/HisB-IL-2-G1 were 1:20-1:80. IL-2/G1 fusion gene could be transferred in Vero cells and stably express the fusion protein. Specific humeral immune responses in mice can be induced with the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector containing the fusion gene, which lays the foundation for further development of therapeutic HTNV vaccine.

Objective To study the clinical effect of fetoscopic laser occlusion of chorioangiopagous vessels (FLOC) in treating twin to twin transfusion syndrome.Methods The clinical data of 44 consecutive cases of twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) who had FLOC in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Peking University Third Hospital were reviewed and analyzed for perioperative complications,perinatal outcomes and fetal survival rate.Results (1) Patient characteristics:the mean maternal age was (29±4) years,the median gestational age at TTFS being primarily diagnosed was 20.4 weeks,the median gestational age at FLOC was 21.2 weeks.According to the Quintero staging system,there were 9 cases had stages progressed before the operation.(2) FLOC parameter and intraoperative complications:44 cases all could tolerate the operation; there was 1 case of placenta vascular rupture in the operation,no fetal body injury by laser or placental abruption.3 cases underwent cervical cerclage following FLOC.The average operation time of 41 cases alone with FLOC was (60.1± 15.1) minutes.(3) Postoperative complications:the rate of intrauterine fetal death was 15％ (13/88),the rate of intrauterine growth restriction after FLOC was 5％ (4/88),the rate of membranes rupture less than 28 weeks was 16％ (7/44),the rate of TAPS after FLOC was 5％ (2/44),the rate of membrane sepration after FLOC was 5％ (2/44).(4) Perinatal outcome and survival rate:there were 25 patients after FLOC had delivered in the perinatal period.The average gestational age of delivery was (33.5±2.7) weeks.The donor fetuses survival rate was 88％ (22/25),the recipient fetuses survival rate was 100％ (25/25).The birth weight of donor fetuses was significantly less than that of recipient fetuses (1 631g vs 2 071 g,P=0.016).From Quintero staging Ⅰ to Ⅳ,the rate that 44 cases of TTTS had entered the perinatal period was 4/7,11/14,7/19,3/4; both twins survival rates were 4/7,10/14,5/19,3/4; all the fetal survival rate was 8/14,75％ (21/28),32％ (12/38),6/8,respectively.(5) Compared the early stage (Ⅰ + Ⅱ) with the advanced stage (Ⅲ + Ⅳ),the rates that 44 cases of TTTS had entered the perinatal period (71％ vs 44％) and that both twins survived (67％ vs 35％) had no statistically significance.The rate that all the fetus survived in the early stage was significantly (69％ vs 39％) more than that in the advanced stage.(6) All the cases of neoborn were followed up till 1 month postpartum,the donor fetuses and the recipient fetuses had 12 and 5 cases of cardiac abnormalities respectively,each had 1 case of neonatal death and 2 cases of neonatal white matter damage.Conclusions FLOC for TTTS is associated with a better survival rate.Quintero staging probably does not effectively predict the fetal diagnosis of TTTS after FLOC.When TTTS diagnosed,the sooner FLOC given,the better fetal prognosis had.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect and safety of umbilical cord ligation in the fetocide of complicated monochorionic multiple gestations.Methods From January 2009 to December 2012,clinical data of 18 women with complicated monochorionic multiple gestations who experienced intrauterine percutaneous umbilical cord ligation in Peking University Third Hospital were collected.Among the patients,6 were selective intrauterine growth restriction (1 with type Ⅰ,4 with type Ⅱ,1 with type Ⅲ) ; 4 were acrania or hydropic twins; 4 were aeardiac twins,2 were complicated triplet gestation; 1 was twin-twin transfusion syndrome with right ventricular dysplasia and 1 was monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) with caesarean section history.The procedure was performed under both endoscopic and sonographic guidance.The gestational age at the time of the procedure were 17-27 +6 weeks.The procedure and perinatal outcome were analyzed.Results (1) The procedure was performed successfully in all the 18 cases.The average duration of the procedure was 63 min (24-156 min).The blood loss was 7.6 ml (5-20 ml).The mean gestational age at the time of the procedure was 20 weeks (17-27 +6 weeks).The average birth weight of the neonates was 2441 g(1000-3400 g).(2) There were 20 fetuses survived.Two fetuses had cardiac anomalies and were terminated in the following 2-3 weeks.Intrauterus fetal demise occured in 3 twin reverse arterial perfusion syndrome (TRAP) cases 3-14 weeks after the procedure.1 case delivered as early preterm birth at 28 weeks and the neonate died of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and hypoxie-ischemicencephalopathy (HIE).Fourteen neonates were in healthy and normal development by 3-51 months' followup.(3) Fourteen cases delivered at more than 28 weeks (28-38 weeks,averagely 33 + 1 weeks).The gestational weeks were prolonged by 5-21 weeks (averagely 13 +4 weeks).Among them,3 case were early preterm birth (28-33 weeks) and 3 were late preterm birth (34-36 weeks).Conclusion Percutaneous umbilical cord ligation is a reliable technique for the fetocide of complicated monochrionic mutilple gestations,especially for monochronic monoamniotie pregnancies.
