Objective To describe the depression of premature infants′ mothers and discuss the related influence factors. Methods A total of 86 premature infants′ mothers completed Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale at 3-days postpartum in this descriptive study during August 2014 to January 2015 in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University. Results The prevalence of postpartum depression in premature infants′ mothers was 25.6% (22/86). Educational levels, family support, character, and number of abortion of mothers, pregnancy complication, gestational age, birth weight, Apgar score, length of hospitalization, and birth with abnormalities of premature infants were found significantly associated with postpartum depression (P<0.05). By Logistic regression, family support (OR=3.253, 95% CI=1.180-8.966) and length of hospitalization (OR=2.905, 95% CI=1.418-5.952) were the risk factors of the postpartum depression at 3-days after delivery. Conclusions Premature infants′mothers at 3-days postpartum presented with obvious postpartum depression. Psychological intervention should be focused on its influence factors.

Objective To establish a simple and rapid method for the determination of 1,3-dideoxygalactonojirimycin in Bombycis Faeces, a potent glucosidase inihibitor, by HPLC. Methods A RP-HPLC method with fluorescence detection has been developed. Results The HPLC method developed in this research has a good reliability including accuracy and precision. The detection limit was less than 72 ng. Conclusion This method is sufficiently sensitive for determining 1,3-dideoxygalactonojirimycin in Bombycis Faeces and other related products.

ObjectiveTo investigate rational surgical approaches for Siewert type Ⅰ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG),and analyze the prognostic factors.MethodsThe clinical data of 103 patients with Siewert type Ⅰ AEG who were admitted to the Renji Hospital from January 2005 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into transthoracic approach group (61 patients) and thoracoabdominal approach group (42 patients).The incidences of numbers of lymph node dissected and postoperative complications of the 2 groups were compared using the chi-square test,Fisher exact probability or the t test.The survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method and the survival was analyzed using the Log-rank test.Prognostic factors were analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance and Cox regression model.ResultsNo perioperative death was observed in the 2 groups.There were significant differences in the number of lymph node dissected and number of metastatic lymph node between the 2 groups (t =2.18,2.29,P ＜ 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in splenic injury between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).There were no significant differences in postoperative bleeding,anastomotic fistula and stricture,esophagogastric reflux,pulmonary infection and esteomyelitis between the 2 groups (x2 =0.07,0.94,0.22,1.41,0.17,P＞0.05).Of the 103 patients,97(94.2％) were followed up.The mean postoperative survival time was 26 months.The median survival time was 26 months,and the 3-yearsurvival rate was 35.9％.The 3-year survival rates of transthoracic approach group and thoracoabdominal approach group were 32.8％ and 40.2％,with no significant difference between the 2 groups ( x2 =0.37,P ＞ 0.05).The results of univariate analysis showed that radical or palliative resection,TNM stage,lymph node metastasis stage,tumor diameter and metastasis rate,degree of radical resection were independent factors influencing the prognosis of patients with Siewert type Ⅰ AEG (x2 =21.07,26.04,22.42,6.26,32.20,20.80,P＜0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that degree of TNM stage,lymph node metastasis rate and radical resection were independent factors influencing the prognosis of patients ( Wald =12.01,8.75,10.03,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Thoracoabdominal approach is a reasonable selection for patients with Siewert type I AEG.Degree of TNM stage,lymph node metastasis rate and radical resection were independent risk factors influencing the prognosis of patients.

Acupoints are surface reaction and treatment spots under the pathological conditions which have functions of diagnosis and treatment. For the study of acupoints, we can carry it out from the aspects of structure and function. The two aspects have a close relationship. Structure is the material basis of function, while function is the manifesta-tion of structure. Therefore, the study of acupoints is not only significant to reveal the essence of acupoint, but also has enormous value in the guidance of acu-moxibustion for clinical practice. Staring from the normality of structure and variability of function, we explored the essence of acupoints, and further revealed ordered regulation rule and its biological basis, so that the essence of acupuncture points will be illustrated with scientific evidences.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy, toxicity and clinical benefit response of gemcitabine on advanced non small cell lung cancer in elderly. Methods Patients in the chemotherapy arm of the study received gemcitabine 1 250 mg/ m 2 as a intravenous infusion every 21 days .Patients in the best supportive care(BSC) arm should not receive chemotherapy or anticancer therapy. Results Overall survival period in the gemcitabine arm was significantly longer than in the BSC arm ( P

Objective To investigate whether overexpression of VHL can inhibit the growth and metasta-sis of colon cancer .Methods Adenovirus vectors containing VHL were used to overexpress VHL protein in vitro and in vivo.The proliferation,apoptosis and migration of colon cancer cells CT 26 were examined in vitro.The ex-pressions of related proteins were detected by Western blot analysis .Subcutaneous and liver metastasis of colon cancer models were established and the therapeutic effects were evaluated .Results Overexpression of VHL pro-tein inhibited the proliferation and invasion of CT26,and promoted the apoptosis of CT26 via the regulation of COX-2,Bcl-2 and MMP-9.Overexpression of VHL protein inhibited the growth of subcutaneous colon cancer and liver metastasis in vivo .Conclusion Overexpression of VHL protien can inhibit the growth and metastasis of colon cancer ,and enhance the apoptosis of colon cancer ,indicating that VHL can be used as a potential target for colon cancer therapy .
