Clinical application of mixed-oil fat emulsion in preterm infants with necrotizing enterocolitis / 中华临床营养杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical application of multi-oil fat emulsion (SMOF) in preterm infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).Methods:Preterm infants with NEC admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in our hospital between January 2017 and December 2022 were retrospectively included. According to the type of fat emulsion used, they were divided into SMOF group and medium and long chain triglycerides (MCT/LCT) group. The data of two groups were compared and analyzed.Results:A total of 69 preterm infants were included, 34 in the SMOF group and 35 in the MCT/LCT group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the levels of total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, direct bilirubin, bile acid and γ-glutamyl transferase ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and total cholesterol ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the C reactive protein level, procalcitonin level, and the time to normal C reactive protein ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in incidence of complications between the two groups, including parenteral nutrition-related cholestasis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, and brain injury ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with MCT/LCT, the application of SMOF did not show significant effect on liver function, inflammation, or incidence of complications (parenteral nutrition-related cholestasis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of prematurity) in preterm infants with NEC. Multi-center studies with larger sample size are needed for further investigation.

Research progress of D4-GDI in the pathogenesis of lung cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

As one of the main members of the Rho GDI dissociation inhibitory factors,D4-GDI inhibits the dissociation of Rho protein and GDP,which is also involved in a wide range of celluar functions,such as cell contraction,adhesion,migration,proliferation and apoptosis.Recently,accumulating evidence has been suggested that D4-GDI is involved in the pathogenesis of several pulmonary diseases,such as lung cancer.Intervention of D4-GDI expression may improve the pathological changes and prognosis of these diseases.

Immunohistochemistry research of interface membrane around loosening hip prosthesis / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective Collecting the loosening periprosthetic interface-membrane, to discuss the mechanism of hip arthroplasty loosening. Methods The periprosthetic interface tissues of 29 hip arthroplasty revision cases from February 1995 to December 2003 were collected. The retrieved periprosthetic interface tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. Some of them were studied by electronic microscope. Results (1)Transmission electronic microscope examination: the mitochondria swell. There were some substantia like lipid in the plasm of macrophages. Wear particles could be seen under scaning electronic microscope.(2)Immunohistochemistry: there were 22 IL-1? positive cases in cells of interface membrane. There were 29 IL-6 positive cases in cells of interface membrane. There were no positive results in TNF-? test. Conclusion (1)The wear particles of arthroplasty are important factors which cause biological reaction.(2)The interface membranes contain cytokine IL-1? and IL-6, which may play an important role in periprosthetic osteolysis and arthroplasty loosening.
