1.Proper understanding of the infant formula foods for special medical purposes
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2014;(9):804-807
General rules for infant formula for special medical purposes were published by National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People’s Republic of China in 2010. Lactose-free or low lactose formula is suggested to be a part of treatment in bottle-fed infants with acute diarrhea. Lactase is suggested to be taken before each feeding in breastfeeding infants with acute diarrhea. Partial hydrolyzed formula (pHF) can be added when the breast milk is insufifcient and it is mainly used during the transition from extensively hydrolyzed formula to standard formula during allergy treatment. Extensively hydrolyzed formula should be suggested as the nutritional support during milk avoidance for most of cow’s milk allergy infants. Amino acid formula is the clinical tool to diagnose the cow’s milk allergy and provides the nutritional support to severe cow’s milk allergy infants. Although preterm/low birth weight formula can decrease the rate of the extrauterine growth retardation and sustain the fast growth of preterm babies with insufifcient breast milk, Breast-milk with fortiifer is strongly recommended as the main nutritional support to keep preterm and low birth weight infants’ growth. Infants with disorders of amino acid catabolism should choose speciifc formula.

Objective To explore the early diagnosis and treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature. Methods Observing and analyzing the onset ,diagnosis of BPD and the outcome treated by dexamethasone in 12 cases that were hospitalized in NICU during the period from January 1994 to January 1999.The follow up study was done for 6 to 12 months after their discharge. Results All of these 12 infants treated by dexamethasone were cured and discharged. The time period of hospitalization was 31 to 67(50?14) days. The one year follow up study after discharge showed that the prognosis of 11 patients were good, only 1 infant suffered from repeated respiratory tract infection. Conclusion Careful observation on clinical manifestations and lab work should be done to those premature babies who suffered from BPD easily for early diagnosis. The early application of dexamethasone in infants with BPD showed perfect results.

Objective To detect the regulation of CXCL16 synthesis and shedding in first-trimester human trophoblasts. Methods Firstly, we analyzed the expression and secretion of chemokine CXCL16 in primary cultured trophoblasts by immunochemical staining and ELISA. Then we determined the soluble and cell-associated CXCLI6 respectively with and without treatments of cytokine IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4 and ADAM10 by ELISA. Results Trophoblast expressed and secreted CXCL16 in a stable level. Cytokine IFN-γ induced both synthesis and secretion of CXCL16 significantly ( P <0. 01 ) in trophoblasts. ADAM10 increased the shedding of chemokine domain of CXCL16 from trophoblasts but didn't influence the synthesis of CXCL16 protein in trophoblast. Conclusion IFN-γ and ADAM10 play important roles in production and shedding of transmembrane CXCL16 in first-trimester trophublasts.

Objective To assess the value of the urine flow acceleration(UFA)versus maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) for diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).Methods A total of 50 men with BPH and 50 normal men were included in this study.Urodynamic examinations were performed in all patients according to the recommendations of the International Continence Society.Prostate volume,UFA and Qmax of each patient were analyzed and the results were compared between two groups.Results The UFA and Qmax of BPH group were much lower than that of the control group [(2.05±0.85)ml/s2 vs.(4.60±1.25)ml/s2 ; (8.50±1.05)ml/s vs.(13.00±3.35)ml/s,P<0.05].The prostate volume in BPH group was increased compared with control group [(28.6±9.8) ml vs.(24.2±7.6)ml,P<0.05].As diagnosis standard of UFA<2.05 ml/s2 and Qmax< 10 ml/s,the sensitivity and specificity of UFA and Qmax in diagnosing BOO were (88%,75 %)vs.(81%,63%).While compared with the result of P-Q chart,the Kappa values in correspondence analysis were 0.55 vs.0.35.The sensitivity,specificity and Kappa value of UFA in diagnosing BOO in BPHs were slightly higher than that of Qmax in comparison with the gold standard (BOO diagnosed by P-Q figure).Conclusions The UFA is a useful urodynamics parameter in diagnosing BOO of BPH.

Objective To explore the relationship between congenital vesical ureteral reflux(VUR) and bladder dysfunction in children through videourodynamic examination.Methods Sixty-seven children with congenital VUR in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Apr.2011 to Jul.2013 were included,and their clinical information of urnary tract infection,detrusor activity,dysfunctional voiding and grade of VUR were recorded.All the children were categorized as normal,isolated detrusor overactivity (DO)and dysfunctional voiding (DV) (with or without DO) according to the manifestation of urodynamic patterns,who were also divided into groups of low grade (Ⅰ-Ⅱ) VUR or high grade (Ⅲ-Ⅴ) VUR.Data of video-urodynamic examination,urinalysis,and voiding cystourethrogram were collected to investigate the relationship between bladder dysfunction,sides and grade of VUR and urinary tract infection.Results Totally 73.1% (49/67 cases) of children with VUR were found having bladder dysfunction,which consisted of 49.3% (33/49 cases) of DO,23.8% (16/49 cases) of DV.Children with isolated DO tended to manifest unilateral,low grade reflux (grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ) with less urinary infection.However,children with DV,isolated or combined with DO manifest bilateral,high grade reflux(grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ),and often with urinary infection.Conclusions Video urodynamic study is useful for evaluation of bladder function in children with VUR,which is important in management of VUR.

BACKGROUND:Intervertebral disc degeneration is one of the most common underlying factors causing low back pain.Recent studies have shown that melatonin has a positive effect on alleviating intervertebral disc degeneration.However,the underlying mechanism of melatonin remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE:To explore the biological effect and potential mechanism of melatonin in inhibiting hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)-induced injury of human nucleus pulposus cells. METHODS:Human nucleus pulposus cells insolated from degenerative intervertebral disc were cultured in vitro.Cell proliferation and the optimal intervention concentration of melatonin and H2O2 were detected by cell counting kit-8.The Human nucleus pulposus cells treated with H2O2 were used as a model group;the cells treated with H2O2 and intervened with melatonin were used as a melatonin group;the cells cultured in simple medium were used as a control group.The reactive oxygen species levels were detected by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate(DCFH-DA),the expression levels of BAX and Caspase3 were detected by immunofluorescence,and the mRNA expression levels of BAX,BCL-2,Casepase3,PI3K and AKT were detected using the real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results of cell counting kit-8 experiment showed that the optimal intervention concentration of H2O2 was 400 μmol/L and the optimal intervention concentration of melatonin was 5 μmol/L.The reactive oxygen species level in the melatonin group was significantly lower than that in the model group.The average fluorescence intensity of BAX and Caspase3 in the melatonin group was significantly lower than that in the model group.The mRNA expressions of BAX and Caspase3 in the melatonin group were lower than those in the model group,while the mRNA expression of Bcl-2 was increased.In addition,the mRNA expressions of PI3K and AKT were also higher in the melatonin group compared with the model group.To conclude,melatonin may protect human nucleus pulposus cells from H2O2-induced oxidative damage through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:
To study the relationship between morphological characteristics, grading, diagnosis and prognosis in phyllodes tumors (PT) of the breast.
Methods:
A retrospective study was carried out on 83 PTs diagnosed between 1999 and 2003 that were classified semi-quantitatively according to the WHO recommendation. Follow-up data was available for some cases, and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate factors affecting metastasis and recurrence.
Results:
All cases were classified into the benign (57.8%), borderline (28.9%) and malignant (13.3%). The overall recurrence rate for the 72 cases with follow-up data was 20.8% (15/72), and was 17.5% (7/40) in benign, 22.7% (5/22) in borderline and 3/10 in malignant PT, respectively, with no significant difference (
