Objective To assess the intervention effect of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) on the mouse model of hematotoxicity induced by subacute benzene exposure. Methods Benzene exposure and NMN intervention were adopted in a 2×2 factorial design, as benzene exposure and non-exposure, and NMN intervention and non-intervention. Male specific pathogen-free C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to negative control group, NMN control group, simple benzene exposure group and NMN intervention group, with 12 mice in each group. Benzene exposure of mice in simple benzene exposure group and NMN intervention group was conducted by dynamic inhalation of benzene at a concentration of 325 mg/m³ for six hours per day, five days per week for four weeks (28 days). Mice in the negative control and NMN control group inhaled clean air. During benzene exposure, mice in the NMN control group and NMN intervention group received NMN in drinking water at a dose of 300 mg/kg body weight. Peripheral blood samples of mice were collected for complete blood count analysis and calculation of composite inflammatory indices after 28 days. Results Interaction analysis showed that the counts of peripheral white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet of mice in the simple benzene exposure group were lower than those in the negative control group (all P<0.05). Neutrophil and platelet counts in the NMN intervention group were higher than those in the simple benzene exposure group (all P<0.05). The results of main effect analysis showed that the monocyte count of peripheral blood, systemic inflammatory index, systemic inflammatory response index, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio of mice in the benzene exposure group increased (all P<0.05), and the basophil count and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio decreased (all P<0.05), compared with the control group. Conclusion Oral NMN alleviates subacute benzene-induced decreases in peripheral neutrophil and platelet counts in mice. This protective effect may be related to the targeted intervention of NMN on mitochondrial energy metabolism disorder and oxidative damage induced by benzene exposure in male mice.

Objective:To investigate the neonatal outcomes and prognosis of fetuses who were prenatally diagnosed with intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH) to provide evidence for clinical consultation and management.Methods:Clinical data of fetal IVH cases ( n=89) diagnosed by fetal neurosonogram (NSG) in Peking University First Hospital from January 2012 to April 2020 were retrospectively collected, and neonatal outcomes were analyzed, involving fetuses with different grades of IVH and coexisting abnormalities. These patients were followed up for more than three months after birth. Two child development screening systems, Ages & Stages Questionnaires (Third Edition) (ASQ-3) and Ages & Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (ASQ-SE), were used to assess the development of the patients from several aspects including physical growth, oral communication, motor ability and social emotions. Descriptive statistical analysis was used in this study. Results:(1) A total of 89 fetuses were enrolled and 66.3% (59/89) of them underwent fetal cranial MRI examination after ultrasound diagnosis. Among these 59 cases, 32(54.2%) had the same results with fetal NSG; 20(33.9%) with the diagnosis of remote ventricular cystic hemorrhage by fetal NSG, but misdiagnosed by MRI, were all confirmed by neonatal craniocerebral ultrasound; 7(11.9%) were lost to follow-up or terminated. In addition to IVH that was consistent with the ultrasound diagnosis, MRI also found three cases of cortical malformation, three cases of subdural hemorrhage and two cases of cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage. (2) Among the 89 cases, 37 (41.6%) underwent neonatal craniocerebral ultrasound examination after birth showing small amount of remote IVH, which was consistent with previous fetal NSG diagnosis. (3) There were 38 cases complicated by lateral ventricular widening (three lost to follow-up, 18 were terminated , one died in uterus, 15 with good and one with poor outcome), 10 cases by severe IVH sequelae (one lost to follow-up and nine were terminated) and 10 by craniocerebral malformation (one lost to follow-up, eight were terminated and one with poor neonatal prognosis). Two cases with extracranial malformation (ureteropelvic junction obstruction) were healthy after birth. (4) There were 29, 30, 16 and 14 cases of gradeⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ andⅣ of fetal IVH, respectively. Among all cases, 12 were lost to follow-up; three died in uterus (all with gradeⅣ IVH); 31 were terminated and 43 were born and followed up. During the follow-up of the 43 cases, two (one grade Ⅰ case with corpus callosum dysplasia and one grade Ⅲ case with fetal cytomegalovirus infection) had poor prognosis, while the other 41 (one gradeⅢ, 17 gradeⅡ and 23 gradeⅠcases) showed no severe abnormalities.Conclusions:Fetal NSG is the first choice in screening fetal IVH and MRI can be a valuable aid. The neonatal prognosis may be associated with the grade of hemorrhage and coexisting abnormalities. Fetuses with isolated grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ IVH usually have a relatively good prognosis.

Objective:To explore the levels of vitamin A(VA) and vitamin D(VD) in blood of children with tic disorder (Tic disorder, TD) and their associations with tic symptoms severity and clinical types, so as to provide evidence for better prevention and treatment of TD.Methods:A total of 245 children with TD from September 2018 to April 2019 in the department of child Health care, affiliated hospital of qingdao university were enrolled as the case group and 63 healthy children who underwent routine physical examination at the same time as the control group. The levels of VA and VD were measured and their relationship with the severity of tic symptoms and clinical types were analyzed.Results:(1)The VD level of the case group was significantly lower than that of the control group ((23.72±8.87) μg/L , (26.61±7.59) μg/L, t=-2.24, P=0.03), and the proportion of insufficiency or even lack (37.31%, 75/201) was higher than the control group (15.79%, 9/57) (χ 2=9.37, P=0.002). (2)According to the Yale global tic severity scale(YGTSS), the children in the case group were divided into mild TD group, and moderate-to-severe TD group. ①There were significant differences in serum VA and VD levels in mild TD group, moderate-to-severe TD group and the control group ( F=29.79, P<0.01; F=10.90, P<0.01). Among them, the content of VA and VD in moderate-to-severe TD group were lower than those in mild TD group and control group (VA: (0.29±0.06)mg/L, (0.35±0.06)mg/L, (0.34±0.06)mg/L; VD: (21.01±8.30)μg/L, (25.84±8.76)μg/L, (26.61±7.59)μg/L). ②VA and VD levels of children with TD were negatively correlated with the severity of symptoms ( r=-0.325; P<0.01; r=-0.228; P=0.001). (3)According to DSM-V classification criteria, TD children were divided into PTD group, CTD group and TS group. ①There was no significant difference in serum VA level among different clinical types of TD children ( F=0.87, P=0.46). ②The levels of serum VD were different among the four groups ( F=4.13, P=0.007). Among them, the VD level in TS group was the lowest, and its content was significantly lower than that in control group ((21.83±7.60)μg/L, (26.61±7.59)μg/L, P<0.05)). The prevalence of insufficient or even lack of serum VD in children with different subtypes of TD was higher than that in the control group (χ 2=10.88, P=0.01). Conclusion:Vitamin D deficiency exists in children with TD. The level of vitamin A and vitamin D in serum of children with TD is related with the severity of tic symptoms.The VD level is related with clinical type of TD.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of flurbiprofen postconditioning on the permeability of blood brain barrier in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods:Eighty healthy male Wistar rats, aged 8-9 weeks, weighing 280-320 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (group Sham), focal cerebral I/R group (group I/R), lipo-microballoons group (group V) and flurbiprofen 10 mg/kg group (group F). Focal cerebral I/R model was established by left middle cerebral artery occlusion for 2 h followed by 24-h reperfusion in anesthetized rats.Flurbiprofen 10 mg/kg (group F), the equal volume of lipo-microballoons (group V) or the equal volume of normal saline (group Sham and group I/R) was injected via the tail vein at the onset of reperfusion.The rats were sacrificed at 24 h of reperfusion, brains were immediately removed, and cerebral tissues were obtained for measurement of brain water content, Evans blue content, expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in ischemic penumbra (by immuno-histochemistry), and expression of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38 MAPK) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in ischemic penumbra (by Western blot). Results:Compared with Sham group, brain water content and Evans blue content in brain tissues were significantly increased, and the expression of MMP-9, p-p38 MAPK and iNOS in ischemic penumbra was up-regulated in I/R, V and F groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group I/R, brain water content and Evans blue content in brain tissues were significantly decreased, and the expression of MMP-9, p-p38 MAPK and iNOS in ischemic penumbra was down-regulated in group F ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the above parameters in group V ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Flurbiprofen postconditioning can decrease the permeability of blood brain barrier during focal cerebral I/R in rats, and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of p38 MAPK/iNOS signaling pathway and down-regulating the expression of MMP-9.
