time of infusion. Data analysis indicated that A1B3C2 was the best combination of the 3 factors according to the degree of lung injury. Conclusion Adequate amount of HES 200/0.5 infused during compensated stage of hypovolemic shock produces best result.

Recent studies have demonstrated that hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for stroke,which may cause vascular endothelial injury by multiple mechanisms,destroy blood coagulation and fibrinolytic systems,and influence on lipid metabolism.Methylenetetra hydrofolate reductase(MTHFR)is a key enzyme of homocysteine metabolic pathway in the human body.If it is insufficient or its activity decreases,it will directly result in the accumula tion of homocysteine in the human body,and callse hyperhomocysteinemia.Although a number of studies have found that MTHFR gene mutation is the main cause of MTHFR insufficient and its activity decrease,the correlation between MTHFR gene mutation and ischemic cerebral vascular disease is quite controversial now.This article reviews the relationship between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of neonatal tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).Methods A total of 134 patients were admitted and diagnosed as TSC in Beijing Children′s Hospital,Capital Medical University from September 2006 to September 2015.The clinical characteristics of TSC in 8 patients who had clinical symptoms initiating from the neonatal period (skin lesion,neurologic abnormality,etc.) were analyzed,so as to conduct the auxiliary examinations (skin biopsy,ultrasonic cardiogram,cranial imaging) and the follow-up results.Results Among 8 patients,4 were diagnosed as TSC in the neonatal period while other 4 were diagnosed at later period from 4 months to 14 years old.Six patients had skin lesions in neonatal period,accounting for 75% of 8 patients,with predominant symptoms:hypomelanotic macules (5 cases),angiofibroma (2 cases),and shagreen patch (1 case).Cardiac abnormalities in neonatal period mainly included cardiac rhabdomyoma,which were characterized by high incidence,multi-regional occurrence,and wide distribution,noticed in 4 patients (50%).Ultrasonic cardiogram showed a mass in 4 patients with moderate-strong echo,uniform texture and clear boundary,and slight effect on tricuspid valve blood flows (in 1 case).Electrocardiogram abnormalities were found in 1 case,like atrial premature beats with intraventricular aberrant conduction,and accelerated atrial escape.Neurologic abnormality of neonatal TSC could present convulsive seizures.Cranial imaging lesions showed subependymal nodules (3 cases),leukodystrophy (2 cases),and giant-cell astrocytoma (1 case).Evidence for TSC2 gene positive and heterozygous mutation was identified in 1 case.The nucleic acid mutation site was at c.268C>T (E4),and the amino acid mutation was p.90Q>X.The mutant effect was nonsense mutation,which could lead to premature termination of protein translation.Conclusion The clinical characteristics of neonatal TSC may involve multi-system lesions,most commonly seen in the skin,cardiac,and ner-vous system.Neonatal physical examinations,cranial CT/magnetic resonance imaging and cardiac ultrasound screening should be done for the suspected TSC patients,and genetic diagnosis may contribute to the early diagnosis of the disease.

A new fluorimetric method was developed for the determi nation of ethanol in alcoholic beverage. The method is based on the principle that tetrasubstituted sulphonated aluminum phthalocyanine (AlS4Pc), a red-r egion fluorescent reagent, is induced to associate in the presence of cationic s urfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB), thus its fluorescence is quen ched, and then the aggregate is disaggregated by the a ddition of ethanol and the fluorescence is recovered. This method has a linear determination range of 0.5%～90.0%(V/V), the detection limit is 0.48%(V /V). The method has been used to determine real alcoholic beverage samples w ith satisfactory results.
