AIM: To investigate the effects of electrical stimulation of vagus nerve on gut injury following intestinal ischemia-reperfusion in rats. METHODS: 30 adult male Wistar rats subjected to bilateral cervical vagotomy were randomly divided into three groups (n=10 per group): (1) Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion group (group I/R): laparotomy and I/R induced by clamping arteria mesenterica superior for 1 h followed by reperfusion for 2 h. (2) Vagus nerve stimulation group (group VNS): laparotomy, I/R and electric stimulation with pulse train of constant amplitude 5V, pulse width 2 ms and frequency 1 Hz at the left caudal vagus ends for 20 minutes before and after occlusion. (3) Sham control group (group SC): sham operation and sham stimulation. Carotid artery was cannulated for mean arterial pressure (MAP) monitoring. A strip of small intestine was taken from distal end of ileum for light microscopic (LM) and transient electron microscopic (TEM) examination at the time of 2 h after reperfusion. Improved Chiu’s scale was used to quantitatively assay the damage degree. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and TNF-? in plasma were detected. RESULTS: MAP in every group kept steady during ischemia, but decreased gradually with the prolongation in the time of reperfusion. MAP decreased more dramaticly in group I/R than that in group VNS (P

Objective:To analyze the causes, influencing factors and trends of dead on arrival cases in children′s Hospital in the past 5 years, aiming to provide direction and basis for reducing the dead on arrival cases of children.Methods:We collected the dead on arrival cases in the department of emergency at Shanghai Children′s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019, classifed and analysed the gender, age, native place, death season, time of death, and possible causes of death, and then studied the correlation between above factors and the cases.Results:A total of 151 dead on arrival cases were collected.The annual number decreased year by year, and boys were more than girls in gender.Most of them were infants under 1 year old, and nonlocal children were more than Shanghai native.The above differences were statistically significant, but there was no significant difference in the distribution of death season and death time.In terms of the cause of death, perinatal diseases accounting for 33.8%(51/151), those accompanied with severe underlying diseases accounting for 39.1%(59/151), accidental death accounting for 14.6%(22/151), unexplained deaths accounting for 12.6%(19/151). Those distribution differences were statistically significant( χ2=32.497, P<0.001). Meanwhile, there were statistic differences in gender and age of the cases with severe underlying diseases( χ2=4.898, P=0.027; χ2=32.169, P<0.001), and the year and age distributions of the accidental death cases also had significant differences( χ2=16.636, P=0.002; χ2=14.727, P=0.002). Conclusion:To reduce dead on arrival cases of children, we should do a good job in perinatal health care and screening, reduce premature birth and birth defects, actively conduct propaganda to prevent children′s accidental injuries, popularize medical first aid knowledge, and strengthen children′s transport system.

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, more and more people regard the isokinetic training as a method for strength training and rehabilitation of muscle injuries of athletes. But it is rare in study of rehabilitation following joint injury via isokinetic training. OBJECTIVE: To explore the advantage of isokinetic training in rehabilitation, further more, to provide the scientific basis to rehabilitation of muscle injuries. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The contrast observation was performed at the Laboratory of Institute of Physical Education, Hebei Normal University between March and May 2008. PARTICIPANTS: Two female college basketball athletes whose knee joints were injured. METHODS: The Kinitech isokinetic testing system (Kylingk, Australia) was used to test the flexion and extension muscles of knee joint of 2 athletes and contrasted the values of flexion and extension muscle after rehabilitation training, damage side and healthy side. All data were analyzed to observe the effects of strength training. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Peak torque (PT) values of flexor and extensor in knee joints. RESULTS: After 8 weeks isokinetic training, the strength index of two subjects had increased in certain degree both at the 60 (?)/s and 240 (?)/s. The PT values showed that the increasing range of flexor was greater than that of extensor in the 1st subject, but the circumstance was opposite in the 2nd subject. The index of BP, STW, and AP was greatly increased, as well as work fatigue. CONCLUSION: It is helpful to increase the muscle strength and promote the rehabilitation via isokinetic training system. The isokinetic strength training has the positive effects on rehabilitation of muscle injuries.

Ohjective To investigate the associations between the Arg389Gly polymorphism of the β_1-adrenergiecreceptor gene (ADRB1) and vasovagal syncope (VVS) in Chinese children. Methods Genotype of ADRB1 was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length pelymorphism analysis. Case-control studies and quantitative trait analysis were carried out by comparing between carriers (one or two copies of the Gly389 allele) and non-carriers (Arg389 genotype) of the ADRBI in 54 patients with unexplained syncope and in 54 healthy control subjects. Patients were subdivided into two groups according to head up tilt test (HUTT) : positive HUTT, known as VVS group and negative HUTT group. Distribution of Arg389Gly genetype in VVS group and the relationship to three clinical patterns were also analyzed. Results An allele frequency of Arg389 was 73.15% and Gly389 was 26.85% in healthy subjects. Higher Gly389 allele frequency was found in VVS group (n = 30) than that in negative HUTT group (33.33% vs. 14.58%, P < 0.05). In VVS group, the frequencies of the Gly389 allele in cardioinhibitory pattern (n = 6), mixed pattern (n = 9) and vasodepressor pattern (n = 15) was 66.67%, 33.3% and 23.33%, respectively, which had significant differences between the cardioinhibitory pattern from any of the other two patterns (both P < 0.05). Conclusions An association of positive HUTT with a single nucleotide pelymorphism of Gly to Arg switch at position 389 of the ADRB1 was found. This polymorphism may contribute to susceptibility to VVS.

Objective To explore the factors related to vasovagal syncope (VVS) in children. Methods The clinical data of 125 children with conifrmed VVS were collected. According to the frequency of syncope during the ifve years from ifrst episode to the time of head-up tilt test, the children with 2 or 3 episodes of syncope were assigned into the low episode group, and the children with 4 or more episodes of syncope were assigned into the high episode group. The two groups were analyzed and compared. Results Among the 125 children, 84 children (67.2%) were in the low episode group and 41 children (32.8%) were in the high episode group. The single factor analysis showed that the age at head-up tilt test, onset of syncopal, causes of syncope, history of carsickness, and positive family history were associated with high attack frequency. The results of non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that causes of syncope (OR?=?3.723, 95%CI:1.163-11.918, P?=?0.027), history of carsickness (OR?=?5.929, 95%CI:2.066-17.015, P?=?0.001), and positive family history (OR?=?6.794, 95%CI:2.006-23.013, P?=?0.002) were the independent risk factors of high attack frequency. Conclusions The causes of syncope (excluding persistent standing), history of carsickness, and positive family history have important clinical signiifcance in predicting high attack frequency of VVS in children.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of topical propranolol gel on the levels of plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblastic growth factor (bFGF) and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) in proliferating infantile hemangiomas (IHs) of superficial type.

METHODS33 consecutive children with superficial IHs were observed pre-treatment, 1 and 3 months after application of topical propranolol gel for the levels of plasma VEGF, MMP-9 and bFGF by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in Department of General Surgery of Dongfang Hospital from February 2013 to February 2014. The plasma results of IHs were compared with those of 30 healthy infants. The clinical efficacy in IHs was evaluated by Achauer system. Differences of plasma results between the healthy group and the IHs group pre-treatment were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U-test. Paired sample comparisons of any two time points of pre-treatment, 1 month and 3 months after treatment in IHs were evaluated by Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

RESULTSThe clinical efficiency of topical propranolol gel at 1, 3 months after application were 45.45%, 81.82% respectively. The levels of plasma VEGF and MMP-9 in patients pre- treatment were higher than those in healthy infants [(362.16 ± 27.29) pg/ml vs (85.63 ± 8.14) pg/ml, (1376.41 ± 42.15) pg/ml vs (687.27 ± 44.1) pg/ml, P < 0.05], but the level of bFGF did not show significant difference [(176.03 ± 13.60 ) pg/ml vs (235.94 ± 35.43 ) pg/ml, P > 0. 05 ]. The concentrations of VEGF and bFGF at 1, 3 months after treatment decreased obviously [(271.51 ± 18.59) pg/ml vs (362.16 ± 27.29 ) pg/ml, (135.85 ± 12.66) pg/ml vs (176.03 ± 13.60) pg/ml], 1 month after treatment vs pre-treatment, P < 0.05; (240.80 ± 19.89) pg/ml vs (362.16 ± 27.29) pg/ml, (107.31 ± 5.82) pg/ml vs (176.03 ± 13.60) pg/ml, 3 month after treatment vs pre-treatment, P < 0.05, whereas the levels of plasma MMP-9 declined slightly [(1321.18 ± 48.74) pg/ml vs (1376.41 ± 42.15 ) pg/ml, (1468.68 ± 32.78) pg/ml vs (1376.41 ± 42 2.15 ) pg/ml, P > 0.05 ].

CONCLUSIONSPropranolol gel may suppress the proliferation of superficial infantile bemangiomas by reducing VEGF and bFGF.

Objective To explore the ultrasound characteristics of carotid atherosclerosis in acute stroke patients with early neurological deterioration (END). Methods END was defined as a increase by at least two points in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale between admission and day 7. Among 128 patients with acute stroke in whom carotid ultrasound examinations were performed within 24 hours after admission, 38 patients with END and 40risk-matched patients without END were included in the END group and the non-END group,respectively. The ultrasound characteristics of carotid atherosclerosis were compared in both groups. Results Plaque score (16.7 ±4.4 mm vs. 13.3 ±3.5 mm, t=2.673, P=0.009),intima-media cross-sectional area (26. 4 ± 8. 5 mm2 vs. 20. 5 ± 6. 8 mm2, t = 3. 394, P =0. 001), arterial stiffness index (28. 94 ±4. 29 vs. 21. 22 ±5. 85, t = 6. 618, P =0. 000), and the rates of unstable plaque (66. 7% υs. 43. 3%, χ2=9. 164, P =0. 003), eccentric plaque (62. 8% vs. 45. 6%, χ2=5. 008, P =0. 025), stenosis ≥50% (71. 1% vs. 37. 5%, χ2=8. 828, P =0. 003), and negative remodeling (28. 9% vs. 7. 5%, χ2=6.087, P =0.014) in the END group were significantly higher than those in the non-END group, while the distensibility coefficient ([14. 74 ±8. 66]×10-6/P υs. [19. 16 ±9.35] × 10-6/Pa, t =2. 163, P=0. 034)and compliance coefficient ([0.49 ±0. 13] × 10-4 mm2/Pa υs. [0. 58 ±0. 11] × 10-4 mm2/Pa,t =3.307, P =0. 001) were significantly lower than those in the non-END group. Conclusions The ultrasound characteristics such as plaque score, intima-media cross-sectional area, arterial stiffness index, unstable plaque, eccentric plaque, stenosis ≥ 50%, negative remodeling,distensibility and compliance may be useful to predict END in patients with acute stroke.
