Objective To explore the effect of intrauterin hypoxia on proliferation of neural stem cells(NSCs)and memory and learning capacity of juvenile rats.Methods Conceiving female SD rats(n=20)were divided randomly into 2 groups:control group(n=10)and hypoxia group(n=10).The rats of hypoxia group were put into 3 gases incubator to make the injured brain newborn rats model,rats of control group were not done so.The juvenile rats were taken to do the experiment of water maze after they were born in 30 d,then killed when the experiment was over,the brains of the rats were taken,immobilization,paraffin imbedding,slicing(hippocampus),common immunohistochemistry staining were used to detect the Nestin positive NSCs.Results Optical density of Nestin positive cells in hippocampus dentation of hypoxia group(0.16?0.10)was higher than that of control group(0.15?0.09)(t=3.24 P

Objective To analyze the safety and diagnostic value of ultrasound-guided biopsy with simple biopsy clip in children.Methods Under simple biopsy clip 52 cases were performed percutaneous renal biopsy.Then the curative rate and the incidence rate of complications were evaluated.Results Of 52 cases,49 cases(94.23%) gained enough renal tissue specimen for histological evaluation;Three failed cases occurred at early stage,nothing was found at later stage.The main complication was macroscopic hematuria occurred only once or twice after the operation and perirenal hematoma in 1.92% of the cases.No other severe complications were found.Conclusions The biopsy clip is convenient and sterile,and can guide the biopsy device exactly and safely.The use of 18-gauge biopsy gun and the automated biopsy device in children can decrease the complication rate,which can be easily performed.

AIM:To compare the clinical effects of 25G+ and 27G+ transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy in treating idiopathic macular hole.METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical outcomes of 56 eyes (56 patients) with idiopathic macular hole which were treated with micro-incision vitrectomy from June 2015 to September 2016.Patients were divided into two groups, 28 patients (28 eyes) were treated with 25G+ vitrectomy and the rest (28 eyes) were treated with 27G+ vitrectomy.The operative time and intraoperative complications were recorded and patients were followed up for 3-6mo.During the follow up period, best correct vision acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, macular hole healing and postoperative complications were documented and statistically analyzed.RESULTS: BCVA in two groups were significantly improved after surgery(P<0.001) and there was no significant difference between the two groups(P=0.84).No serious complications occurred.No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in surgical time and healing rate of macular hole (P=0.57, 0.64).The incidence of low intraocular pressure (IOP<10mmHg) in 27G+ group was lower than that in 25G+ group on the first day after surgery(P=0.31).There was no significant difference between preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure at 1wk after operation in both groups (P=0.72, 0.92).CONCLUSION: Both 25G+ and 27G+ vitrectomy are safe and effective technique in treating idiopathic macular hole.Besides, 27G+ showed better superiority on the maintenance of intraocular pressure and reduce the trauma.

To evaluate the automated segmentation algorithm for detection of intra - retinal layers to process images obtained from ultra- high resolution optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) . Graph theory and the shortest path search based on dynamic programming were applied to automatically segment the 8 intra - retinal layers. We experimentally verified the accuracy and reliability of the algorithm. The results showed that the intra-retinal layer boundaries between automated and manual segmentations matched well. The algorithm successfully segmented the intra- retinal layers in glaucoma, high myopia, and retinitis pigmentosa patients. The proposed automatic segmentation for intra-retinal layers provides a promising tool for quantitative analysis in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective to investigate the value of diffusion-weighted echo-planar MR imaging in the diagnosis of head and neck lesions.Methods Fifty-seven patients with 85 head and neck lesions were enrolled in the study,including 22 patients with 22 malignant tumors,13 patients with 13 benign tumors, 13 patients with 17 cystic and liquefactive lesions(including 8 patients with 12 cystic lesions,4 patients with 4 tumor necrosis,1 patients with 1 abcess)and 33 lymph nodes.The lesions were all confirmed by operation and clinical follow up.Echo-planar difffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)was performed with different b values (0,500,and 1,000s?mm~(-2)),and the apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs)were measured.Results Malignant and benign tumors had different characteristics in DWI with different b values.With the increase of b value,the signal intensity of tumor/spinal cord ratio decreased quickly in DWI in benign tumors,while the signal intensity of tumor/spinal cord ratio remained similar in DWI in malignant tumors.The mean ADC value of'malignant tumors[(0.78?0.24)?10~(-3)mm~2? s~(-1)] was significantly lower than that of benign tumors [(1.48?+0.20)?10~(-3)mm~2?s~(-1)] (t = 8.9,P

Objective To evaluate the efficiency and safety of ultrasonic debridement therapy (UDT) and intelligence negative-pressure wound therapy(INPWT) for diabetic foot ulcers with Wagner 2-3degree.Methods Eighty patients with diabetic foot ulcers with Wagner 2-3 degree were divided into two groups according to the treatment method.The UDT and INPWT group (INPWT group) had 53 cases.Routine treatment group(routine group) had 27 cases.Both groups were given blood sugar and blood pressure control,anticoagulation,anti-infection and supportive treatment.The efficiency and complications were compared between two groups.Results In INPWT group,29 cases were healed,14 cases showed obvious effectiveness,7 cases were effective and 3 cases were inefficacy.The total effective rate was 94.34％(50/53).For routine group,they were 7,8,6,6 cases and 77.78％(21/27) respectively.The total effective rate between two groups had significant difference (P ＜0.05).Pain was found in 9 cases and hemoglobin decreased in 1 case in INPWT group.Conclusion INPWT after UDT for diabetic foot ulcers with Wagner 2-3 degree shows a good efficiency and safety.

To study the effect of miR-490 on Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) replication, HeLa cells were trans- fected with miR-490 in vitro, and infected with a Renilla luciferase (RLuc)-expressing CVB3 variant (RLuc-CVB3). The activities of RLuc in these cells were measured at 8h intervals from 0 to 40 h post-infection (p.i.), and the effects of miR-490 on RLuc-CVB3 replication were observed. In a further study, HeLa cells were transfected with either miR-490 or antisense miR-490 (AMO-miR-490), and were then infected with an enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP)-expressing CVB3 variant (EGFP-CVB3). The replication of EGFP-CVB3 was then determined by detecting the expression of EGFP. We observed that miR-490 could significantly inhibit the expression of RLuc in infected cells at 32 h p. i. Furthermore, in HeLa cells infected with EGFP-CVB3 at 32 h p.i., EGFP expression was also significantly inhibited by the presence of mniR-490. The inhibitory effect of miR-490 on EGFP expression in EGFP-CVB3-infected cells could be reversed by tranfection with AMQ-miR-490. These results indicated that miR-490 significantly inhibits the replication and expression of QVB3.

Objective To investigate the pregnancy outcomes of couples with either maternal or paternal balanced translocations.Methods One hundred and ninety-four couples were divided into three groups based on the kind of translocations:135 with reciprocal translocation,52 with nonhomologous Robertsonian translocations,and 7 with homologous Robertsonian translocations.Past reproductive histories were surveyed.For those who wanted to have their own babies by natural conceptions after knowing their karyotypes as well as the risks of abnormal offsprings,subsequent pregnancy outcomes were recorded.Total pregnancy outcomes were compared between three groups.Results(1)503 previous and subsequent pregnancies were recorded in detail.The pregnancy outcomes are as follows:spontaneous abortions 81.7% (411/503);induced terminations because of fetal abnormalities 3.2%(16/503);birth defects 7.2% (36/503);normal/balanced offsprings 8.0%(40/503).In reciprocal translocations,nonhomologous Robertsonian translocations and homologous Robertsonian translocations,the birth defects rates were 5.7% (20/350),10.9%(14/128)and 8.0%(2/25),respectively(P
