ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the influences of the establishment of breast milk bank to the premature infants in the hospital. Methods The clinical datas of 239 premature infants admitted in NICU from Feb 2017 to Jan 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Dividing them into two groups, one was control group that the premature infants born before the establishment of breast milk bank, the other was observation group that the premature infants born after that. Both groups were taken the same treatment;and fed the autogenous breast milk or donated breast milk or premature milk based on the intention of infant′s family. Results In observation group,the breastfeeding rate was 67.5％ (85/126),the average hospital-stay time was (24.5±4.4) days.But in control group, the breastfeeding rate was 34.5％(39/113),the average hospital-stay time was (36.3±8.3) days, there were significant differences between the two groups (χ2=4.217, t=2.941, P<0.05).The complications in observation group included necrotizing enterocolitis (5 cases),bronchopulmonary dysplasia(3 cases), retinopathy of prematurity (5 cases) and sepsis (6 cases), the incidence of which was lower than that in control group. But, there was statistical significance in the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis and sepsis only (χ2=3.989,5.386,P<0.05). Conclusions The establishment of breast milk bank can help to improve the breastfeeding rate of premature infants,shorten the hospital-stay time,reduce the incidence of NEC and sepsis,make premature infants recover more quickly.
ABSTRACT
[Abstratc] Objective The function of cIAP1 in the progression of ovarian cancer has not been clarified . This study is to explore the involvement of cIAP 1 in regulating biological behaviors of ovarian cancer cells by u-sing RNA interference(RNAi)technology.Mte hods The short hairpin RNA plasmid targeting cIAP1 was con-structed and transfected into Skov 3 cells.The levels of cIAP1 mRNA and protein were investigated by RT -PCR and Western Blot respectively .MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to evaluate cell proliferation and apopto-sis.R esults The rate of cIAP1 transfection was 74.7%performed by flow cytometric analysis .cIAP1 expression was significantly down -regulated at both mRNA and protein levels ,which resulted in a decrease of cell prolifera-tion and invasion capability in vitro .Conclusion This study implies that cIAP 1 might play an important role in the progression of ovarian cancer ,and it could be a potential target for therapeutic anti -cancer drugs .
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe clinical effect of self-made xiaozhongsanjie decoction combined with levothyroxine sodium tablets in treatment of thyroid nodule.Methods From July 2013 to July 2014, 52 cases of thyroid nodule patients were randomly divided into two groups: control group( n=25)and study group(n=27).The control group were received levothyroxine sodium tablets, while the study group were given self-made xiaozhongsanjie decoction on the basis of control group.Both groups were treated for 24 weeks.The changes of thyroid stimulating hormone ( TSH ) , serum free triiodothyronine (FT3), serum free tetraiodothyronine (FT4) levels, and the thyroid nodule size of two groups before and after treatment were recorded and compared.ResuIts After 24 weeks’ treatment, the thyroid nodule size of both groups reduced, and the descending range of study group was much larger than that of control group (P<0.05).The TSH levels of both groups descended, and the descending range of study group was much larger than control group (P<0.05).While the FT4 levels all increased in both groups, and the ascending range of study group was much larger than control group (P<0.05).And the total effective rate of study group was 77.78%, which was significantly higher than control group (48.00%, P<0.05). ConcIusion The therapy of self-made xiaozhongsanjie decoction combined with levothyroxine sodium tablets in treatment of thyroid nodule could control or reduce the thyroid nodule size effectively.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the relationship between the promoter polymorphism of IL6 (-174G > C, -572G > C and -597G > A) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).@*METHOD@#The case-control study consisted of 123 patients with CRS and 239 controls from a Chinese Han population from Shanghai. The genotypes of the subjects were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and gene sequencing. Besides, the concentrations of the totle immunoglobulin E (TIgE) and eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) in the blood were also determined.@*RESULT@#The -174G > C and -597G > A polymorphisms were not detected in this study population. Significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies of -572C/G were observed between CRS patients and control groups. In CRS patients, the CC, CG, GG genotype frequencies were 69.1%, 29.3%, 1.6%, C, G allele frequencies were 83.7%, 16.3%. In control group, the genotype frequencies were 55.2%, 42.3%, 2.5%, the allele frequencies were 76.4%, 23.6%, respectively. The -572CC genotype was associated with an increased risk of developing CRS (P C polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility to CRS. CC genotype could be an independent risk factor.

@# ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of the serum level of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and lipid as well as their correlation in aged patients with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases(ICVD).MethodsSerum level of IGF-1, Lipoprotein(a) [LP(a)], total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were detected in 130 cases of aged ICVD, as well as in 43 cases of healthy aged control.ResultsIGF-1 level in aged ICVD group was remarkably lower than that in control(P<0.05), and the levels of LP(a),TC, TG and LDL-C in aged ICVD group were significantly higher than that in control (P<0.05). The serum IGF-1 level in TIA patients with infarction was mower than those without infarction (P<0.05). In aged ICVD group, the serum IGF-1 level was negatively correlated with LP(a),TC, TG and LDL-C level (P<0.01). ConclusionIGF-1 decreased in the patients of aged ICVD, which shows a close relationship about the disorder of lipid metabolism, and may play a certain role in the course of occurrence and development of aged ICVD.
