Objective To explore the clinical value of intracranial translucency (HT) in open spina bifida at 11-13 +6 weeks of gestation.Methods Abdominal ultrasound was performed in 200 cases of normal fetus and 6 cases of confirmed open spina bifida at 11-13 +6 weeks of gestation to compare the morphology of IT,diencephalon and midbrain.Results Fetal IT was readily recognized in all 200 normal cases,with diencephalons and midbrain showing number "8" shape.In 6 cases of open spina bifida,fetal IT cannot be identified,and the expected " 8" shape of diencephalon and midbrain was distorted.During 11-13 +6 weeks of pregnancy,the fetal brain is caused by intracranial negative pressure,resulting in morphological changes in the intracranial hyaline,diencephalon and mesencephalon.Conclusions Fetal brain characteristics including intracranial translucency and the shape of diencephalon and midbrain in 11-13 +6 weeks gestation are valuable ultrasound screening indicators for opens pina bifida.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of infants infected by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or human rhinovirus (HRV) in lower respiratory tract in Suzhou area based on the month age and the month of the year.Methods From January 2013 to December 2015,2 206 nasopharyngeal aspirates specimens were collected from the infants with lower respiratory tract infection.Direct immunofluorescence assay was performed to test RSV.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) method was used to test HRV.The medical history was collected and pulmonary function tests were performed in some infants who were infected with RSV and HRV.Results In 2 206 cases,total RSV positive rate was 19.90％ (439/2 206 cases) and simple RSV infection positive was detected in 399 cases.Total HRV positive rate was 14.14％ (312/2 206 cases),in which simple HRV infection positive was detected in 250 cases and the detection rate of RSV was significantly higher than that of HRV(x2 =25.88,P ＜0.05).The incidence rate of wheezing in simple RSV infection was 68.17％ (272/399 cases),which was significantly higher than that of simple HRV infection (42.80％,107/250 cases) (x2 =11.174,P ＜ 0.05).RSV infection was frequent from November to February of the next year in which the detection rate in December was highest with the proportion of 50.00％ (99/198 cases) while the rate in June was only 0.57％ (1/175 cases).The detection rate of HRV was 22.86％ (40/175 cases),20.47％ (35/171 cases) and 20.33％ (25/123 cases) in June,July and September respectively.The detection rate of HRV was lower during December to February of the next year.In January,the detection rate was only 4.68％ (11/235 cases),which was the lowest in the whole year.The detection rates of RSV were 33.33％ (4/12 cases),25.21％ (118/468 cases),23.46％ (84/358 cases) and 23.81％ (60/252 cases) in the age group of 28 d-1 month,＞ 1-2 month,＞ 2-3 month and ＞ 3-4 months respectively.Up to the age of 4 months old,the detection rate decreased gradually,and with the increase of age and the detection rate in ＞ 7-8 month group was only 10.96％ (16/146 cases).The detection rate of HRV was 0 (0/12)and 9.40％ (44/468 cases) in the age group of 28 d1 month,＞ 1-2 month,respectively.After 2 months age old,the detection rate fluctuation ranged from 13.22％ to 16.67％.The incidence rate of severe RSV infection was 12.30％ (54/439 cases) and the incidence rate of severe HRV infection was 5.13％ (16/312 cases).Increased respiratory rate was more common in patients with severe RSV infection while severe HRV infection in infants were accompanied by multiple lobar involvement.After RSV infection,the incidence rate of pulmonary function damage was 89.03％ (276/310 cases).After HRV infection,89.27％ (183/205 cases)of the infants suffered from pulmonary function damage.Both RSV and HRV infection might cause pulmonary function damage.Conclusions RSV and HRV are the major pathogens in infants of Suzhou areas.The incidence of RSV-induced wheezing is significantly higher than that of HRV.RSV is detected positive mainly in winter and early spring and the infants within 4-month old are susceptible population.HRV is detected positive mainly in June,July and September and the infants older than 2 months are susceptible population.The incidence of severe RSV infection is significantly higher than that of HRV.Severe RSV infection may cause increased respiratory rate and severe HRV infection mainly cause multiple lobar involvement.RSV and HRV infection may cause pulmonary function damage.

BACKGROUND: It is still controversial that interspinous dynamic stabilization system Wallis and Coflex which one can provide better clinical effects for lumbar degenerative disease.OBJECTIVE: To systematically assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of Wallis and Coflex for lumbar degenerative disease.METHODS: According to the computer-based online search of PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane Library, CBM,CNKI, Wanfang Database, and VIP, articles published before August 1st, 2016 were searched.

Incidence of adverse events was significantlue scale less in the Wallis group than in the Conflex group (P < 0.05).(3) There was no significant difference in clinical efficacy between Wallis and Coflex in the early and mid-term follow-up.We can conclude that Wallis may provide better clinical safety than Coflex.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of anti-B7-H3 blocking monoclonal antibody(McAb) in a murine model of neutrophilic asthma. Methods Twenty-four female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: PBS control group (group A), neutrophilic asthma group (group B),anti-B7-H3 McAb group (group C) and IgG isotype control group (group D). Those in group A were sensitized by injection of PBS and challenged with PBS through inhalation,while the other mice were sensi-tized by injection of ovalbumin (OVA) plus airway instillation of lipopolysaccharide(LPS),and then chal-lenged with OVA. Moreover,mice in group C and group D were respectively injected with anti-B7-H3 McAb and IgG isotype control in the induction period. Each mouse′s performance was observed. Samples of bron-choalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissues were collected. Total and differential cell counts in BALF were determined by using microscope. Levels of cytokines including IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-6,IL-17,tumor nec-rosis factor-α (TNF-α) and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in BALF were measured by ELISA. Lung sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) to identify tissue inflammation and mucus production,respectively. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of B7-H3 in frozen mouse lung sections. Results Mice in group B and group D showed asth-matic symptoms such as breathlessness,dysphoria and incontinence after nebulization,while these symptoms in group C were alleviated due to anti-B7-H3 McAb treatment. No abnormalities were observed in group A. Compared with group A,the other three groups showed increased total cell count in BALF and higher per-centages of neutrophil and eosinophil(P<0.05). These three indicators in group C were lower than those in group B and group D (P<0.05). With regard to lung infiltration by Th1,Th2 and Th17 cells,the levels of IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-6,IL-17,TNF-α and G-CSF in BALF were increased in group B,group C and group D as compared with those in group A. Compared with group C,group B and group D showed higher levels of IL-6, TNF-α,IL-17 and G-CSF(P<0.05),but lower level of IL-4(P<0.05). No statistical difference in the level of IFN-γ was observed among group B, group C and group D. Histological staining of lung sections showed that no obvious inflammatory cells and mucus secretion was observed in group A. Massive infiltration of inflammatory cells and neutrophils and mucus hypersecretion were detected in group B and group D. Treatment with anti-B7-H3 McAb inhibited the accumulation of neutrophils and mucus hypersecretion in lung tissues of group C. Compared with group A, levels of B7-H3-positive cells were significantly increased in group B and group D. Anti-B7-H3-treated mice showed reduced levels of B7-H3-positive cells in lung tissues as compared with those in group B and group D(P<0.05). Conclusion Treatment with anti-B7-H3 bloc-king McAb in an early stage can relieve the asthmatic syndrome, reduce airway inflammatory cells, inhibit mucus production and down-regulate Th17 cell-related cytokine secretion,which helps to alleviate airway and systematic inflammation in mice with NA,and partially inhibit the development of NA.

BACKGROUND:Rat models of complete spinal cord transection are common models for neural tissue engineering. After transecting the spinal cord by the previous methods, gap length of broken end cannot keep relatively uniform, so we cannot objectively evaluate effects of various treatments or tissue engineering materials. OBJECTIVE:The spinal cord transection models were established by using double edged micro scissors, andthe feasibility of this new model was explored by comparing with the conventional method. METHODS: A total of 42 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into group A (n=6), group B (n=18) and group C (n=18). Group A only received laminectomy. In the group B, the spinal cord was transected with a sharp-pointed knife. Knife point should touch anterior wal of spinal canal and sidewal bone surface. Complete spinal cord transection models were prepared by repeated cutting. In group C, complete spinal cord transection models were established by using self-made double edged micro scissors. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) At 1 week after model establishment, in the groups B and C, complete paralysis of the hind limbs was found, and BBB scores were similar. However, significant differences in the spacing of broken end were detected. (2) At 4 weeks after model establishment, hind limb functions could restore to different degrees in both groups, but no significant difference in BBB scores was found. (3) At 8 weeks after model establishment, significant differences in hindlimb motor function scores were detectable between both groups. Biotin glucosamine tracer display: In group B, a few labeled axon fibers were observed at the caudal side of the injured spinal cord. In group C, spinal cord was completely transected, and labeled axon fibers cannot be found at the caudal side. (4) Results suggested that the modeling method of self-made double edged micro scissors could effectively eliminate individual differences, contribute to quantitative analysis and comparative study of therapeutic effects.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and method of Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for diagnosis of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis. Methods Liver cirrhosis was induced by oral administration of carbon tetrachloride to male wistar rats. Both conventional ultrasound and Sonazoid-CEUS were applied to each rat, respectively. Qualitative and quantitive analysis were performed, and the diagnostic performance of Sonazoid-CEUS on diagnosis of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis were analyzed. Results Twenty four rats were divided into three groups as group 1 (normal liver, n =5),group 2(fibrotic liver, n =6) and group 3 (cirrhotic liver, n =13). The Kupffer phase findings of Sonazoid-CEUS were as following: the enhancement level of normal liver was significantly higher than those of fibrotic/cirrhotic liver, and the difference between liver and spleen of fibrotic/cirrhotic liver was larger than those of normal liver with significant difference. Sonazoid-CEUS showed higher performance on diagnosis of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis than conventional US, with the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 84.2％, 100％ and 87.5％,respectively. The quantification data of liver and spleen further proved the characteristic findings of normal liver,fibrotic liver and cirrhotic liver in Kupffer phase. Conclusions Decrease of liver enhancement and increase of the difference between spleen and liver during Sonazoid-CEUS Kupffer phase are the typical findings of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis.

Objective To study the curative effect of limited-acupotomy therapy on chronic lumbosacral osteo-fascial compartment syndrome. Methods 59 patients were randomly recruited into a control group (with 29 patients) and a treatment group (with 30 patients). The control group was treated with general-acupotomy therapy, and treatment group was treated with limited-acupotomy therapy. Evaluate the curative effects before the first and the second therapy, and 3 months after the therapy respectively, as well as VAS pain, JOA and CODI scores. Results The curative effect was 96.56% and 100% respectively in the control group and the treatment group 3 months after the treatment. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(χ2＝0.19,P＞ 0.05). As to VAS pain scores, JOA and CODI scores, the difference among the three stages of the treatment were significant (in control group F＝165.70, 99.90, 106.60 respectively, in treatment group F＝279.76, 154.34, 67.36 respectively, P＜0.01)in both groups respectively, but the difference between the two groups were not significant(P＞0.05) in each stage. Conclusion Limited-acupotomy therapy was safe and effective in treating chronic lumbosacral osteo-fascial compartment syndrome.
