ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of different breast milk enhancement strategies and the incidence of complications in premature infants.Method Premature infants whose gestational age less than 34 weeks and birth weight less than 2 000 g were prospectively enrolled from January 2017 to February 2018 at the Department of Neonatology of Huangshi Maternal and Child Health-Care Hospital.According to the odd even number at the end of the hospitalization admission number,participants were assigned into 50～＜70 ml/(kg· d) group and 70～＜90 ml/(kg· d) group,When the children reached the corresponding amount of breast-feeding to be given breast milk fortifier.The demographic information,incidence of complications,rate of weight gain,percentage of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) and decrease of Z score at discharge were compared between groups.Result A total of 140 cases were included,with gestational age (31.4±1.9) weeks and birth weight (1 402±213) grams.Among the participants,67 infants were assigned to 50～＜70 ml/(kg·d) group,and 73 infants were assigned to 70～＜90 ml/(kg·d) group.There was no statistical difference between two groups in gender,gestational age,birth weight,length,head circumference,rates of asphyxia,ratio of intrauterine growth retardation,Z score of weight at birth,age at which breast milk fortifiers were added,full enteral feeding time,duration of parenteral nutrition,average length of hospital stay and the time of restoration of birth weight (P＞0.05).The proportion of feeding intolerance in 50～ ＜70 ml/(kg· d) group was higher than that in 70～＜90 ml/(kg· d) group (11.9％ vs.4.1％),the difference was statistical significant (P=0.013).There was no statistical difference in other complications between the two groups (P＞ 0.05).The body weight increase rate of premature infants in 50～＜70 ml/ (kg· d) group was higher than that in 70～＜90 ml/(kg· d) group,and decrease of Z score at discharge in 50～＜70 ml/(kg· d) group was lower than that of 70～＜90 ml/(kg· d),the difference was significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Adding breast milk fortifier earlier——when the breast feeding amount of 50～＜70 ml/(kg· d)——is more beneficial to the growth and development of premature infants,it also reduces the incidence of EUGR on discharge.However,during the feeding process,it was necessary to be aware of the complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the effect of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP) on the mortality and early complications of premature infants.@*Methods@#The general clinical data of preterm infants with gestational age 24-36+ 6 weeks were collected from the cooperative units in the task group from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014.According to the severity of HDCP, the infants were divided into 4 groups: HDCP group, preeclampsia group, eclampsia group and non HDCP group, the mortality and major complications of preterm infants were compared, and the influencing factors were analyzed.@*Results@#The mortality rate of preterm in the HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (χ2=9.970, P=0.019). Eclampsia had a highest fatality rate (4.8%) in the early stage, compared with non HDCP group (2.2%), and the difference was statistically significant.Comparison of HDCP group (1.8%) and eclampsia group (3.2%) suggested that there was no statistically significant difference.The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm in HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (χ2=13.241, P=0.004). Eclampsia group showed the highest incidence (35.4%), compared with non HDCP group (16.2%), the difference was statistically significant, but compared with HDCP group (19.9%), preeclampsia group (17.1%), there was no significant diffe-rence.The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm in HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group (χ2=9.592, P=0.022), the highest incidence showed up in eclampsia group (9.7%), compared with non HDCP group (2.0%) and HDCP group (1.7%), the difference was statistically significant.But there was no statistically significant difference, compared with preeclampsia group.As the degree of HDCP aggravated, the incidence of BPD gradually rose.There was no significant impact on necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and sepsis of HDCP (χ2=7.054, 7.214, 0.358, 3.852; P=0.070, 0.065, 0.949, 0.278). Considering the overall outcome of the child, that was, whether the child died or survived, he had at least one complication, and HDCP had an effect on it (χ2=15.697, P=0.001), so the incidence increased while the degree of HDCP rose gradually.After adjusting gestational age, birth weight, sex, way of delivery, placental abruption and front placenta, prenatal hormonal, gestational diabetes, neonatal asphyxia and other factors, the results displayed that HDCP was the factor leading to the death of premature baby (OR=2.159, 95%CI: 1.093-4.266), and comparison between preeclampsia and eclampsia showed no statistical difference (P=0.714, 0.389); HDCP had no significant influence on RDS, BDP, ICH, NEC, ROP and sepsis.@*Conclusions@#HDCP leads to increased risk of premature death, but also leads to the increased incidence of RDS and BPD, but it had no obvious effect on NEC, ROP, IVH, sepsis and other complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the biochemical properties of rat improved perfusion-acellular pancreatic bioscaffold (APB).Methods The fresh pancreas from 10 rats were perfused through portal vein.The histological structure,ECM composition and DNA quantification of APB were evaluated.For the biocompatibility study,a 0.5 cm2 APB construct was surgically placed within a dorsal subcutaneous pocket of mice.Results The pancreatic tissue become translucent and the macroscopic three-dimensional architectures of native pancreas are retained after decellularization.The extracellular matrix (ECM) ultrastructures were well preserved.Immunofluorescence staining showed that collagen Ⅰ,Ⅳ,fibronectin and laminin were maintained in the APB after decellularization.DNA quantification of APB decreased significantly (P ＜ 0.05).The histological analysis of the subcutaneous implantation site showed the presence of immunological response surrounding the partially degraded APB.The histological remold score was 10.4 ± 1.8 at 14 days and 13.8 ± 1.3 at 28 days.The proliferation of AR42J cell line with the expression of amylase as the marker of exocrine acinar cells can be detected on the recellularized APB.Conclusion APB in this study met the stringent requirement to define a successful decellularization.The technique allowed the efficient generation of APB with preserved 3D architecture and represented a biocompatible scaffold capable of integrating within host tissue.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)have the properties involving high proliferation capability,widely distribution,functional tissue repair after injury,as well as immune modulation,by which bring us extensive therapeutic possibilities.There are plenty of methods for isolation of BMSCs,yet,BMSCs exhibit discrepancies in varied growth stage and culture conditions.Up to now,there has been no agreement about the identification methods for cultured BMSCs.OBJECTIVE:To review the isolation methods and biological characteristics of BMSCs,and to compare the differential expression of BMSCs between in serum and serum-free medium,prior to and after proliferation,as well as before and after induction.METHODS:A computer-based online search was performed using key words of "bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,isolation,culture,induce,marker,and characterization" to find documents published in the database of CNKI (http://dlib.cnki.net/kns50/)or Pubmed(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed)from January 2003 to June 2009.The languages were limited Chinese and English.A total of 237 literatures were searched by the computer.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The positive rates of CD44 and CD34 of BMSCs isolated by the whole bone marrow culture were smaller than that of the density gradient centrifugation.However,BMSCs isolated by the whole bone marrow culture were superior to those isolated by the density gradient centrifugation in cell viability,proliferation rate,confluence time,as well as generation time.Other methods for BMSCs isolation had drawbacks of large cost and high requirement of experimental equipments.Following conditions were used to identify BMSCs:cell adherence,cell surface molecule labeling,strong self-proliferation ability,as well as potentials multi-directional differentiation.BMSCs exhibit differential expression between in serum and serum-free medium,prior to and after proliferation,as well as before and after induction.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the curative effect of neural stem cells (NSCs) transplantation on sequela after traumatic intracranial hematoma. Methods 20 patients with sequela after traumatic intracranial hematoma were treated with NSCs transplantation. Cells were engrafted into subarachnoid cavity via lumbar puncture. They were assessed with Functional Independence Measure (FIM) before and half a year after the transplantation. Results The FIM scores were significantly increased after the transplantation (P<0.01).Conclusion NSCs transplantation could promote functional recovery and improve the living quality of patients with sequela after traumatic intracranial hematoma in the aspects of self-care, sphincter control, mobility, locomotion, communication and social adjustment/cooperation.
