BACKGROUND: The researches on the onset mechanism and intervention of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) are affected due to few cases of generally-acknowledged animal model, so it is necessary to establish a reliable animal model for the study of PVL.0BJECTIVE: To establish PVL animal model of the 2-day-old SD rats.DESIGN: Randomized control animal trial.SETTING: Department of Pediatrics, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University.MATERIALS: A total of 36 2-day-old SD rats of cleaning grade and either gender, weighing 6-8 g, were provided by the West China Experimental Animal Center of Sichuan University; Mice anti-O4 was purchased by Chemicon Company,rabbit anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), rabbit anti-β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP), rabbit anti-myeline basic protein (MBP), SABC immunohistochemical kit and DAB color reagent were all offered by Wuhan Boster Biological Technology Co., Ltd. Rabbit anti-mice IgG-FITC was obtained from Zhongshan Golden Bridge BioTechnology Co., Ltd.METHODS: The experiment was accomplished in the Laboratory of Women and Children, West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University between May and December in 2005. Totally 36 rats Were randomly divided into experimental PVL group and control group, 18 in each. The experimental PVL group was subjected to unilateral carotid ligation (UCL), and then they were put into a box filled with 6% oxygen and 94% nitrogen for 4 hours. Six rats were executed at ischemic 72hours, 14 days and 28 days respectively. Meanwhile sham surgeries were performed on the control group without ligation or exposure to hypoxia. And the time segment was identical with that of experimental group. ①Histopathological examination: Rat hearts were fixed by perfusion and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE). Light and electronic microscopy were used to observe the brain pathological and ultrastructure changes, ②Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the distribution and expression of GFAP, β-APP, MBP and O4 in the white matter of both experimental and the control groups 72 hours post-operation. ③Neuroethology examination: Hanging test (rats were forced to hold the horizontal glass rod with forelegs, and the time of dropping was recorded in the distance of 45 cm.Scoring: 1 point: ＜ 10 s; 2 points: 10-30 s; 3 points: 30 s-2 minutes; 4 points: 2-5 minutes; 5 points: ＞ 5 minutes),inclined plane test (rats were laid on the inclined plate at the angle of 45° while rat heads turning upwards at the angle of more than 135°), open field test (square box without summit was divided into 9 equal grills at the bottom, rats were placed in the central grill to observe the activity within 30 seconds. Scoring: 1 point as rats entered the neighbor cage above half the body; 1 point as standing by hind limbs; total scores were the addition of the two), and cylinder test (rats were put in the cylinder of 20 cm×30 cm×5 cm to record the time of initial forepaw of each weight-bearing contact with the wall during a full rear, right (ipsilateral) or left (contralateral) percentage of total forepaw contacts at initiation was calculated.) were tested on the SD rats at 28 days post-operation. Then statistical management was conducted.MATN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①HE stain and electronic microscope were used to detect the histopathology changes after ischemia and hypoxia.②lmmunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expressions of GFAP, β-APP, MBP and O4 in the corresponding cell and tissue after ischemia and hypoxia. ③Neuroethology examination was used to evaluate the rats after ischemia and hypoxia by scores of each test.RESULTS: All 36 rats were involved in the result analysis. ①White matter damage was observed in the periventricular white matter in the PVL group by light and electronic microscopy at the early stage of post-operation; Ventricular dilatation and the loss of medullary sheath were detected in the white matter at the latter stage. ②The integrated optical density (IOD) of GFAP in PVL group was stronger than that of the control group (6 566.93±455.56, 1 069.32±791.71,P ＜ 0.05), and the mean diameter of GFAP-immunoreactive cells was increased in the brain tissue of PVL group compared with those of the control group [(11.69±0.97), (8.24±0.22), P ＜ 0.05]; β-APP immunohistochemistry demonstrated the IOD of PVL group was stronger than that of the control group [(59 304.07±6 864.03), (15 132.29±2 455.52),P＜ 0.05]; MBP IOD of the PVL group was decreased compared with the control group [(21 764.29±1 981.63), (69 174.72±3 199.90), P ＜ 0.05]; The density of O4-immunoreactive pyknotic cells was dramatically increased in the PVL group compared with the control group [(54.08±11.99), (1.25±0.51), P＜ 0.05].③In PVL group, the hanging time was shorter in the hanging test than that of the control group [(1.27±0.14), (4.24±0.59) minutes, P ＜ 0.05]; The turning-around time was longer in the inclined plane test than that of the control group [(7.17±2.32), (3.27±0.82) s, P ＜ 0.05]; The score in the open field test was decreased than that of the control group [(3.68±0.82), (12.67±1.00) s, P ＜ 0.05]; In the cylinder test the activity of the left limb was less than that of the right limb [(19.25±2.77), (64.55±0.36)%, P ＜ 0.05].CONCLUSION: PVL animal model can be successfully established by the method of UCL-hypoxia using the 2-day-old SD rat, and appears the obvious white atter damage, abnormal neurobehavior, reasonable pathological and behavior change.

Objective To separate NK cells of mice from NK cell separation medium and study inhibitory effect of proliferated NK cell induced by low dose radiation on the leukemia model of K562 cells.Methods Flow cytometry and 3H-TdR methods were respectively used to measure proliferation index and activity of NK cells treated with low-dose radiation( which means exposure dose in 20 cGy low LET beam or 5 cGy high LET beam).CD13 + cells were measured by flow cytometry and TNF-α content in blood-serum was detected by ELISA.In vivo,peripheral blood leucocyte count,index of liver,indexes of spleen and kidney were observed in control group and experimental group.Results The purity of NK cell separation was (82.54 ± 0.18)%.The proliferation index of NK cells at 24 hours after 80 mGy irradiated was 36.31 ± 1.32% ,(t =24.69,P ＜0.05).Killing activity of NK cell induced by low dose radiation to K562 cell was (12.59±0.63)%(t=6.63,P＜0.05)and the inhibition ratio was 29.52%.Conclusion The injection of proliferated NK cell induced by low dose radiation demonstrated significant inhibitory effect on the growth of leukemia nude mouse.

Objective:To count and analyze the residue of narcotics for injection after the use in operation rooms in order to find the possibility of risk avoiding and management standardization. Methods:A retrospective research method was adopted to count and analyze 10268 prescriptions including narcotics for injection in operation rooms from June to August in 2014. Results:Ketamine hydro-chloride injection had the largest residue and its remaining amount also occupied the largest proportion of medication. The second one was pethidine hydrochloride injection and the third one was remifentanil hydrochloride for injection. The highest ratio of remaining a-mount in each prescription was ketamine hydrochloride injection, and the second one was morphine hydrochloride injection and pethi-dine hydrochloride injection ranked the third. Conclusion:It is suggested to reduce the specification of medication with the highest ra-tio of remaining amount in each prescription such as ketamine hydrochloride injection, and improve the management efficiency for the use of narcotics in operation rooms.

Objective:To investigate the residual narcotics for injection after used in wards in order to provide evidence for the use standardization of narcotics for injection. Methods:A retrospective research method was adopted. Totally 5 288 prescriptions including narcotic drugs for injection in wards were collected and analyzed from June to August in 2014. Results:Only four kinds of narcotics for injection were used in wards, the residual proportion of morphine hydrochloride injection and pethidine hydrochloride injection was 2%, and that of fentanyl citrate injection was 0. 2%. Conclusion:The residue of narcotics for injection in wards is very little, and the specifi-cations of the medication in our hospital meet the demands of clinics. The research is beneficial to improving the management efficiency.

Objective:To statistically analyze the prescription writing norms of narcotic drugs for injection in the operation room and inpatient area of our hospital to improve the prescription writing quality and the efficiency of management. Methods:A retrospec-tive research method was adopted, and 17 103 prescriptions for narcotic drugs for injection in the operation room and inpatient area were collected and analyzed from June to August in 2014. Results:The irregular proportion of prescriptions of narcotic drugs for injec-tion was 9. 05%, and the abnormal item was lack of the text. The proportion of prescriptions using residual amount and needing to be marked was 4. 01%. Conclusion: Improving the management and unifying the prescriptions of narcotics, or applying the electronic prescription if allowed will improve the quality of prescriptions of narcotics and achieve the purpose of fine management.

In order to enhance the anticoagulant properties of decellularized biological materials as scaffolds for tissue engineering research via heparinized process, the decellularized porcine liver scaffolds were respectively immobilized with heparin through layer-by-layer self-assembly technique (LBL), multi-point attachment (MPA) or end-point attachment (EPA). The effects of heparinization and anticoagulant ability were tested. The results showed that the three different scaffolds had different contents of heparin. All the three kinds of heparinized scaffolds gained better performance of anticoagulant than that of the control scaffold. The thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of EPA scaffold group were longest in all the groups, and all the three times exceeded the measurement limit of the instrument. In addition, EPA scaffolds group showed the shortest prepared time, the slowest speed for heparin release and the longest recalcification time among all the groups. The decellularized biological materials for tissue engineering acquire the best effect of anticoagulant ability in vitro via EPA heparinized technique.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of early enteral nutrition intolerance and related influencing factors in postoperative gastric cancer patients.Methods:90 gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastric cancer surgery and received early enteral nutrition thereafter in our hospital were retrospectively enrolled from January 2019 to December 2020. Patients were divided into early enteral nutrition tolerance group ( n=30) and intolerance group ( n=60) according to whether they developed nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms after early enteral nutrition. The general characteristics of the two groups were compared and the risk factors of early enteral nutrition intolerance in postoperative gastric cancer patients were analyzed using multivariate Logistic regression. Results:60 (66.67%) of the 90 postoperative gastric cancer patients experienced early enteral nutrition intolerance. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ≤4 hours of out-of-bed activity on the first postoperative day and nonuse of nutrition pump were independent risk factors for early enteral nutrition intolerance in these patients ( OR=2.998; 4.586, P<0.05). Conclusions:The risk factors of early enteral nutrition intolerance in postoperative gastric cancer patients were ≤4 hours of out-of-bed activity on the first postoperative day and nonuse of nutrition pump. Corresponding clinical interventions could be implemented to prevent the occurrence of early enteral nutrition intolerance in postoperative gastric cancer patients.

Objective: To develop a simple radiotherapy information system for the developments of multiple hospital areas. Methods: Using C/S+ B/S dual technology architecture, Visual Studio 2015+ C#+ HTML5+ JavaScript+ PostgreSQL9.5 were utilized as the programming tools selected for development. The two-dimensional barcode, intelligent IC card, identity card recognition, face recognition, speech synthesis and other technologies were integrated and applied in the radiotherapy process management. The normal business processes were designed by default automatic processing. Previous multi-step operation was simplified to single-key operation. Results: System development was completed and implemented at the end of 2017, which connected the south and north hospital areas. The system not only resolved the problem that required the doctors to manually input or make telephone call for consulting patients’ data, but also achieved paperless business process in different departments. The outstanding advantage was reflected in the aspects of intelligence and optimization. Approximately 95% of the normal flows could be completed by single-key automatic processing, and the remaining 5% requiring special operations (such as, modification or deletion, etc.) were prompted and restricted to ensure data security and system stability. Conclusion The application of this system improves the level of information management in the departments and saves the cost of supplies and human resources.

Objective: To preliminarily investigate the difference of position fixation accuracy between polyurethane styrofoam and vacuum negative pressure pad in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) after radical mastectomy for breast cancer. Methods: Forty breast cancer patients, who received breast-conserving surgery followed by hyper-fractionated IMRT of the whole breast (42.56 Gy for 16 times) in our hospital between 2017 and 2018 were recruited and randomly divided into the polyurethane styrofoam group and vacuum negative pressure pad group. Before IMRT treatment, the anterior and lateral films of patients were taken with kilovoltage digital radiographs (KVDRs) by Varian Trilogy machine-borne OBI KV image verification system. The KVDRs images were matched with the DRR images reconstructed by the planned system to obtain the setup errors in the left and right, head and foot, and ventral and back directions between two groups. Each patient was verified for 10 times to obtain 400 sets of data. The independent sample t-test was adopted to analyze the setup errors between two groups. The external expansion value of graded setup errors from clinical target volume (CTV) and planned target volume (PTV) was calculated. Results: The setup errors in the left and right, head and foot, ventral and back directions between the styrofoam fixation and vacuum pad groups were (1.63±1.29) mm and (1.83 ±1.61) mm (P=0.18), (1.46±1.51) mm and (2.26±2.03) mm (P=0.00), and (1.30±1.35) mm and (1.91±1.67) mm (P=0.00), respectively. The external expansion values of setup errors from CTV to PTV were 2.19 mm, 2.51 mm, 1.57 mm and 2.40 mm, 3.97 mm and 2.63 mm, respectively. Conclusion Both two fixation methods meet the clinical requirements. However, the setup accuracy and reproducibility in the polyurethane styrofoam group are better than those in the vacuum negative pressure pad group.
