    Objective  To investigate the effect of dihydroartemisinin on the growth and apoptosis of human gastric cancer cell line BGC-823. 
    Methods  Methylthiazoletetrazolium(MTT) assay was used to determine the inhibitory rate of dihydroartemisinin with different concentrations on the proliferation of BGC-823 cells. The apoptosis rate and morphological changes of BGC-823 cells treated with dihydroartemisinin were detected by flow cytometry(FCM), fluorescence microscope, transmission electron microscope. Western-blot were used to detect the changes of Bax,Caspase-3,Caspase-8 protein levels in BGC-823 cells. 
    Results  MTT assay showed that the proliferation of BGC-823 cells was markedly inhibited after treatment with dihydroartemisinin, and the inhibition rate increases with the increase of drug concentration, and with the extension of time. It has a significant dose and time dependence(P<0.01) and IC50 was 3.4 μmol/L. The results of flow cytometry showed that with the increase of drug concentration, the apoptotic peak became more obvious and showed a dose-dependent(P<0.01). Typical apoptotic morphology were observed in BGC-823 cells after induced by dihydroartemisinin. Western blot showed that the expressions of Bax, Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 proteins increased with the increase of dihydroartemisinin concentration. 
    Conclusion  The result suggested that dihydroartemisinin could inhibit the proliferation of BGC-823 cells. Dihydroartemisinin promotes the apoptosis of BGC-823 cells by up-regulating the expression of Bax, Caspase-3 and Caspase-8.

    Objective  To explore the influence of insulin receptor substrate 1(IRS-1)/transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif(TAZ) signaling on the adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs). 
    Methods  In vivo, the adipocyte count of rat femurs in control group, sham group and ovariectomy(OVX) group was analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining and immunofluorescence assay, and the IRS-1 concentration in rat femurs was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). In vitro, the plasmid transfection was used to change the IRS-1 and TAZ expression in BMSCs, the oil red O staining and western blot was used to analyze the lipid droplets and the expression of the adipogenic differentiation related proteins. 
    Results  The adipocyte count and the IRS-1 concentration in rat femurs in OVX group was significantly reduced. High expression of IRS-1 in BMSCs increased the expression of TAZ protein, and decreased the expression of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β(C/EBPβ) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ(PPARγ) proteins, which inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Knockout of IRS-1 or TAZ promoted the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. 
    Conclusion  IRS-1 increased the TAZ expression, which inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. IRS-1/TAZ signaling in stem cells might be a new target to control the bone marrow lipogenesis of osteoporosis patients.

    Objective  To investigate the effects of early fresh frozen plasma transfusion before opening endocranium on incidence of delayed traumatic intracranial hematoma(DTIH) in patients with subdural hematoma after trauma brain injury. 
    Methods  According to occurrence of DTIH after surgery, 197 of patients with severe trauma brain injury(TBI) were divided into DTIH group or non-DTIH(NDTIH) group. The patients′ demographics(gender, age, body mass index), vital signs(pre-operative mean arterial pressure, heart rate), initial injury severity(ISS), peri-operative transfusion(type, volume), blood product(type, volume), transfusion time of fresh frozen plasma, laboratory tests, DTIH and mortality within 30 days post-TBI were collected. To account risk factors of DTIH, the significant statistic factors between two groups in the univariate analysis were involved in a bivariate logistic regression. 
    Results  There were 32 patients developing new DTIH after surgery. The incidence of new DTIH after surgery was 16.2%. Compared with NDTIH group, the patients in DTIH group showed lower GCS, more hematoma volume, and higher ratio of early fresh frozen plasma transfusion(P<0.05). In a bivariate logistic regression model, GCS(OR=4.23, 95%CI=1.62-8.72, P<0.001), hematoma volume ≥100 mL(OR=5.39, 95%CI=1.75-9.38, P<0.001), and early fresh frozen plasma transfusion(OR=1.54, 95%CI=1.27-4.29, P=0.016) were correlated with new DITH after surgery. 
    Conclusion  Increased incidence of DTIH in patients with subdural hematoma after traumatic brain injury might be associated with early fresh frozen plasma transfusion.

    Objective  To investigate the relationship between the level of interleukin-1β(IL-1β) secreted by embryos in embryo culture medium and embryo development and implantation potential. 
    Methods  Eighty patients with fresh cycle infertility who underwent the first intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer(ICSI-ET) operation were selected. Embryos were cultured in vitro with single droplet single embryo. Embryo transfer was performed on the third day after oocyte retrieval and fertilization, and the number of transferred embryos was 2. The corresponding microdroplets of cleavage-stage culture fluid from fresh-cycle embryos were collected and the levels of IL-1β in their supernatants were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.According to the implantation rate per cycle, the patients were divided into group A(43 cases, implantation rate was 0%), group B(27 cases, implantation rate was 50%), and group C(10 cases, implantation rate was 100%). The main clinical data of the three groups were compared with the relevant parameters of embryo laboratory, the level of IL-1β secreted in embryo transfer medium, and the cumulative score of embryo transfer morphology. The correlation between the level of IL-1β and the cumulative score of embryo transfer morphology was analyzed. 
    Results  There were 37 clinical pregnancies in 80 patients, and the clinical pregnancy rate was 46.3%, including 27 singleton pregnancies and 10 twin pregnancies.There was no significant difference in the main clinical data and embryo laboratory parameters among three groups(P>0.05). The level of IL-1β in the culture medium of embryo cleavage stage in group B was higher than that in group A, and that in group C was higher than that in group A and group B, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in cumulative scores of morphology among the three groups(P>0.05). The level of IL-1β was positively correlated with the cumulative score of embryo morphology(r=0.587, P<0.05). 
    Conclusion  Endogenous IL-1β secreted by embryos during embryo culture is closely related to embryo development and implantation, and its evaluation of embryos and study on early embryo intervention can provide reference significance.

    Objective  To investigate the regulation effect of autophagosomes and apoptotic bodies on bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) in neonatal mice. 
    Methods  Thirty-six neonatal SD mice were randomly and equally divided into three groups for different treatments, control group, model group and intervention group. On the 22nd day, the general situation of mice in each group was observed, the pathological changes of lung tissue were observed by HE staining, and the ultrastructure of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells in each group was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expression levels of autophagy related proteins [P62, microtubule-related protein light chain 3B(LC3B)] and apoptotic related proteins [Bcl-2-related X protein(Bax), caspase-3] in lung tissues were detected by Western blot. 
    Results  Compared with the model group, the mental state, hair growth, diet, breathing and body weight of the mice in the intervention group were significantly improved, with no mice died. Moreover, the pathological changes of lung tissue in the intervention group were also significantly improved. The number of autophagosomes and apoptotic bodies in the cytoplasm of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells in the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the model group. The levels of LC3B, P62, Bax and caspase-3 in the lung tissue among three groups were the highest in the intervention group, followed by model group and control group, with statistic difference(P<0.05). 
    Conclusion  After excessive autophagy activation of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells in newborn mice, autophagosomes are increased, which promotes a large number of apoptosis of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells and increases the apoptotic corpuscles, thus leading to the occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, so it can provide theoretical support for the prevention and treatment of BPD.

    Objective  To evaluate the clinical value of pro-inflammatory cytokines in early diagnosis, evaluation of disease severity and prognosis of early childhood purulent meningitis(PM). 
    Methods  A total of 25 children aged 2 years or younger with PM were enrolled and divided into two groups based on the pathogenetic severity, namely general PM group(n=17), and severe PM group(n=8). 18 non-CNS infection children were chosen as the control group. Blood and CSF were collected within the first 12 hours after hospitalization. The level of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Long-term prognosis was evaluated at 6 months of follow-up. 
    Results  The AUC of ROC curve was 0.932 for CSF IL-6, 0.916 for CSF IL-8, which suggested that the diagnostic efficiency of CSF IL-6 and CSF IL-8 were higher than that of other parameters. All four cytokines were higher in CSF than in serum(P<0.05), and the CSF levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly higher in severe PM group than with general PM group. According to the ROC curve in distinguishing the severity of PM, the AUC of CSF TNF-α was largest. When the level of CSF-TNF-α was 70.4 ng/L, the Youden Index was the biggest, and the sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 94.1%, respectively. Levels of CSF IL-6 in poor prognosis group were obviously increased in comparison with that of mild poor prognosis group with a statistical difference(P<0.05), and levels of CSF IL-6 in mild poor prognosis group was significantly higher than that in good prognosis group(P<0.05). 
    Conclusion  CSF IL-6 and IL-8 can be used as auxiliary indicators in early diagnosis of early childhood PM. CSF TNF-α may be helpful to evaluate the severity of early childhood PM. CSF IL-6 is expected to have value for the evaluation of the long-term prognosis of early childhood PM.

    Objective  To explore the clinical value of serum procalcitonin(PCT), albumin(ALB), and pancreatic stone protein(PSP) in diagnosing sepsis. 
    Methods  A total of 322 children with sepsis were selected as the study subjects. According to the severity of the disease, the children were divided into the sepsis group(126 cases), the severe sepsis group(105 cases), and the septic shock group(91 cases). Another 80 healthy children were selected as the control group. Serum PCT, ALB and PSP levels were compared in each group to analyze the relevant influencing factors for the prognosis of children with sepsis, and the predictive value of PCT, ALB and PSP for the prognosis of children with sepsis was evaluated by ROC curve. 
    Results  There were statistically significant differences in serum PCT, ALB and PSP levels among 4 groups(P<0.05). PCT, PSP levels of sepsis group were higher than the control group, propagated level was lower than the control group. PCT, PSP levels of severe sepsis group were higher than that of sepsis group and the control group, propagated level below the sepsis group and the control group, PCT, PSP levels of septic shock group were higher than that of severe sepsis group, sepsis group and the control group, propagated levels below severe sepsis, sepsis group and the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After 28 days of follow-up, 48 of the 322 children died(14.91%) and 274 survived(85.09%). The mortality of the severe sepsis group was higher than that of the sepsis group, and the mortality of the septic shock group was higher than that of the sepsis group and the severe sepsis group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). PCT and PSP levels in the death group were higher than those in the survival group, ALB levels and PCIS scores were lower than those in the survival group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum PCT, ALB, PSP and PCIS scores were risk factors for death in children with sepsis(P<0.05). ROC curve showed that serum PCT, ALB and PSP had certain predictive value for the death of children with sepsis(area under the curve, Area under curve, AUC=0.741, 0.783, 0.784, P<0.01), the sensitivity and specificity of the three combinations were 87.5% and 91.6%, with high predictive value(AUC=0.953, P<0.01).

    Objective  To explore the imaging features of ultrasound in girls at different developmental stages and their ability to distinguish idiopathic central precocious puberty from premature thelarche. 
    Methods  We performed a retrospective study with a sample of 124 girls, who underwent ultrasound for evaluation development. We evaluated breast ultrasound grade, breast and pelvic ultrasound, and clinical characteristics including age and body mass index. Among the 124 girls, 52 were up to 9 years old with early breast development. We divided them into idiopathic central precocious puberty(16 cases), and premature thelarche groups(38 cases) and evaluated the clinicoradiologic findings for each group. 
    Results  A total 124 girls were graded by breast ultrasound grade, including 34 cases of grade A(27.4%), 49 cases of grade B(39.5%), 18 cases of grade C(14.5%), 5 cases of grade D(4%) and 18 cases of grade E(14.5%). There were statistical differences in age, BMI, uterine volume, uterine length diameter, anterior-posterior diameter of uterus/anterior-posterior diameter of cervix(FCR), maximum ovarian volume, endometrial thickness, vaginal wall thickness, number of ≥4 mm follicles, maximum follicular diameter, breast bud diameter and breast bud volume for girls(P<0.05). There were 16 cases of ICPP and 38 cases of PT. The age, uterine volume, uterine length, endometrial thickness, maximum ovarian volume, ≥4 mm follicle number, maximum follicle diameter, breast bud diameter and breast bud volume of girls between ICPP and PT groups were statistically different(P<0.05), while BMI, FCR value and vaginal wall thickness were not statistically different(P>0.05). The breast ultrasound grade of 16 ICPP subjects were as follows: grade A in 1 case(6.3%), B in 13 cases and (81.2%), C in 2 cases(12.5%); breast ultrasound grade in 38 PT subjects was grade A in 18 cases(47.4%), B in 18 cases(47.4%), C in 2 cases(5.2%). There was statistical difference in breast ultrasound grading between two groups(P<0.05). 
    Conclusion  〖JP2〗It was shown that the ultrasonographic staging of breast development could provide more accurate and objective data.Ultrasound has the ability to distinguish idiopathic central precocious puberty from premature thelarche. 〖JP〗

    Objective  To investigate the value of color Doppler ultrasound in the determination of interlobular artery resistance index and evaluation of renal function in children with hydronephrosis. 
    Methods  Fifty-eight children with hydronephrosis were selected as case group, in the same period, 70 healthy children as control group, Color Doppler ultrasonography was used to measure the pulsatility index(PI) of interleaf renal artery in 2 groups PI, resistance index(RI), maximum systolic blood flow velocity(Vmax); and Vmax and minimum diastolic blood flow velocity(Vmin). The arterial resistance index ratio(RIR), RIR=RI/contralateral RI were calculated. Glomerular filtration rate of the affected kidney by dynamic renal radionuclide imaging glomerular filtration rate(GFR) was determinated. The correlation between renal ultrasound index and GFR in case group was analyzed. 
    Results  The values of PI and RI in the healthy kidney of the children with unilateral hydronephrosis were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the values of PI and RI in the affected kidney of the children with unilateral hydronephrosis were significantly higher than those in the control group and the healthy kidney of the children with unilateral hydronephrosis,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Comparison of RIR between case group and control group, difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). And with the increase of hydronephrosis, the RIR of children with IV degree hydronephrosis decreased, difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Forty-eight patients with unilateral hydronephrosis had lower renal GFR than healthy patients, difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). There was no correlation between renal PI and GFR(r=0.071, P=0.574); Low correlation between RI and GFR(r=0.506, P=0.041). RIR had a moderate correlation with GFR(r=0.731, P=0.026). 
    Conclusion  RIR is related to the degree of hydronephrosis, and it is less affected by age factors. Color Doppler ultrasound can indirectly evaluate the renal function of children with hydronephrosis RIR, It can be used as the first choice to evaluate renal function in children with hydronephrosis.
