RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of diffusion weighted imaging and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy for the neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Methods:37 cases of patients with neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy admitted in our hospital were selected as the study group,another 40 healthy neonates were selected as the control group,both groups of neonates underwent diffusion-weighted imaging and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy,ordinary MR1 and diffusion weighted imaging findings of neonates in the study group were observed,the neonatal cerebral metabolic compounds relative concentration were observed and compared between two groups.Results:The detection rate of diffusion-weighted imaging was significantly higher compared with the ordinary MRI (P＜0.05).The relative ratio of brain metabolic compounds NAA/Cr of study group were obviously lower than those of the control group,while the Cho/Cr,MI/Cr,Glu-Glr/Cr,Lac/Cr were significantly higher (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Diffusion weighted imaging combined with 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy could improve the diagnostic accuracy of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy,the analysis of the concentrations of brain metabolic compounds could contribute to evaluate the severity of HIE.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on mononuclear cells in peripheral blood and changes of serum vitamin D level in children with bronchiolitis.Methods The children who were diagnosed as bronchiolitis and received treatment in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from October 2013 to January 2014 were chosen as the pre-treatment group,and then divided them into moderate group and severe group according to the clinical symptoms,20 cases for each group.Then the cases in pre-treatment group who recovered after treatment were recruited as the after-treatment group,and the children who were healthy and medical examination in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University in the same period were recruited as the healthy control group.The expressions of TLR4 on CD14 labeled mononuclear cells in the periphera were measured by flow cytometry.The level of 25 (OH) D in serum was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results (1) The expression level in children with bronchiolitis of TLR4:the mode-rate group [(18.98 ±2.29)％] and severe group [(30.13 ±2.13)％] increased significantly (P ＜0.05) compared with control group [(1.17 ± 0.57) ％].And the expression level of moderate group [(2.02 ± 0.48) ％] and severe group [(11.43 ± 1.52) ％] decreased significantly after treatment (P ＜0.05).(2) Serum vitamin D level in children with bronchiolitis of the moderate group[(17.16 ± 3.34) μg/L] and severe group [(6.56 ± 2.28) μg/L] were lower than healthy control group [(53.69 ± 20.18) μg/L] before treatment (P ＜ 0.05),especially the severe group [(6.56 ±2.28) μg/L].The level of moderate group [(9.59 ± 2.31) μg/L] and severe group [(4.70 ± 0.67) μg/L] became lower after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).(3) Both severe group (r =-0.491,P ＜ 0.05) before treatment and moderate group (r =-0.436,P ＜ 0.05) after treatment showed negative correlation between TLR4 on mononuclear cells in peripheral blood and serum 25 (OH)D level in children with bronchiolitis.And no correlation was found among healthy control group,moderate group before treatment and severe group after treatment (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The conditions of children with bronchiolitis was positively correlated with the expression level of TLR4,and negatively correlated with the vitamin D level.The serum 25 (OH) D decreased steadily during the treatment.The expression of TLR4 in monocytes has a certain correlation with the level of vitamin D in children with bronchiolitis.
