Hyperoxia-induced apoptosis of AEC Ⅱ in premature rats by inhibiting expression of focal adhesion kinase

Objective To explore the role of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in hyperoxia-apopto- sis of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells (AEC Ⅱ s) of premature rats. Methods AEC Ⅱ from prema- ture rat lungs were cultured and randomly assigned to air group and hyperoxia group. After exposed to hyperoxia for 6, 12, 24 and 48 h, apoptosis rate of AEC Ⅱ were analyzed by flow cytometry with an- nexin-Ⅴ/propidium iodine (PI) double staining. FAK mRNA and FAK and fAK-Tyr397 peptide were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Results Positive cells of Annexin-Ⅴ+ / PI- in AEC Ⅱ after 6,12,24 and 48 h of hyperoxia exposure were significantly decreased, and the maximal apoptosis rate of AEC Ⅱ (stained of Annexin-Ⅴ+ / PI- ) was found in the hyperoxia group at 12 h (23.83%±4.43%). Compared to the air group, the expression of FAK mRNA and of FAK de- creased markedly and progressively in hyperoxia groups at 12, 24 and 48 h(P<0. 05). Conclusions Decreased expression of FAK induced by hyperoxia is likely to contribute to the apoptosis and neco-z sis of AEC Ⅱ.

Measurement of albumin and low molecular weight proteins in the urine of newborn infants using a cotton wool ball collection method

Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate the inter-relationship between urinary excretion of alpha-1-microglobulin (AIM), retinol-binding protein (RBP) and albumin in term and premature neonates, with urine collected into cotton wool balls and extracted by a novel method. Subjects and methods : Sixty-four infants were studied on the first day of life; 26 had been born at term (37–42 weeks gestation) and 38 prematurely (24–28 weeks n = 16, 29–36 weeks n = 22). Urine collected into cotton wool balls was analysed following a new detergent extraction method, which resulted in a recovery rate of 94–107% for albumin, AIM, RBP and creatinine. Results : Urinary protein excretion, expressed as a ratio to urinary creatinine, decreased significantly with increasing gestational age (24–28 weeks, 29–36 weeks, 37–42 weeks: albuminxreatinine ratio mg/mmol mean 96.9, 31.7, 19.3; AIM: creatinine ratio mg/mmol mean 99.3, 37.0, 7.8; RBP: creatinine ratio mg/mmol mean 16.2, 3.8, and <0.01, below the limit of detection, respectively). When results were corrected for birthweight, this gestation-associated effect was still present for A1M and RBP, but not for albumin. In premature infants there was a significant positive correlation between AIM: creatinine ratio and RBP: creatinine ratio ( r = 0.85), and also between albumin and both AIM and RBP ( r = 0.82 and 0.77). Conclusion : Increased excretion of AIM, RBP and albumin at earlier gestational ages is probably due to proximal tubular immaturity, although tubular damage and also glomerular dysfunction cannot be excluded as possible explanations.     

Evaluation of neurodevelopmental outcome in highrisk infants in Australia

An understanding of the neurodevelopmental outcome of long-term survivors of neonatal intensive care is essential for the informed management of preterm or high risk infants. This annotation looks at the current status of neonatal follow-up services in Australasia and highlights problems in the collection and interpretation of data. It suggests that we should work towards achieving a consensus on standard definitions and test regimes and on national data collection.     

Incidence of apnoea and bradycardia in preterm infants following DTPw and Hib immunization: A prospective study

Objective: To evaluate the incidence and severity of apnoea and bradycardia in hospitalized preterm infants following immunization at 2 months of age, and identify risk factors.
Methodology: A prospective study of 98 preterm infants, of gestational age 24–31 weeks, immunized at approximately 2 months post natal age with diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis vaccine (DTP_w) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at King George V Hospital Sydney. Half the infants also received Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine (Hib) simultaneously. All infants were monitored for apnoea and bradycardia in the 24 h periods pre- and post immunization.
Results: Only one infant had apnoea and/or bradycardia pre-immunization compared with 17 post immunization. For 12 infants these events were brief, self-limiting and not associated with desaturations (oxygen saturation <90%). However, for five infants (30%) these events were associated with oxygen desaturation and two of these infants required supplemental oxygen. The group that had apnoea and/or bradycardia and the group that did not were not significantly different in terms of gestational age, birth weight and other variables. Infants who received Hib together with DTP_w were less likely to have apnoea and/or bradycardia than those given DTP_w alone.
Conclusion: When considering immunization for preterm infants, the benefits of early immunization must be balanced against the risk of apnoea and bradycardia. We recommend that the cardio-respiratory function of hospitalized infants born at less than 31 weeks gestation be monitored for 48 h post immunization.     

Spontaneous Splenic Rupture in a Patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia of Burkitt Type

We describe a case of spontaneous splenic rupture occurred in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia of Burkitt type before starting cytotoxic chemotherapy. Left hypochondrial pain radiating to the homolateral shoulder was the only clinical symptom. Emergency computed tomography showed splenic laceration and hemoperitoneum. The patient underwent immediate laparotomy with splenectomy and experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery. Eight days after surgery, chemotherapy could be administered and complete remission was achieved. Although spontaneous rupture of the spleen is rare in leukemia and related disorders, this diagnosis should be taken in account also when clinical symptoms are mild. Following immediate operative management, patients may completely recover and receive cytotoxic chemotherapy with substantial possibilities of achieving complete remission.     

原发性肝癌自发性破裂出血介入动脉栓塞治疗

目的:研究原发性肝癌自发性破裂出血介入动脉栓塞治疗的方法。方法:回顾性分析对18例肝癌破裂出血患者采用急诊介入栓塞止血。结果:本组18例患者均得以有效止血。1例患者在3天后由于严重休克肝动脉栓塞治疗死于肝、肾衰竭。其余均无复发出血及急性肝功能衰竭。8例门静脉部分或完全阻塞患者经肝动脉栓塞(TAE)治疗后未出现肝功能衰竭。5例患者在栓塞术后3~7天内成功被施行肝肿瘤切除术。12例患者被明胶海绵栓塞术后,根据病情多次行介入治疗,肿瘤均有不同程度的缩小和坏死。结论:TAE是治疗肝癌破裂出血的有效方法,可达到立即止血的目的,同时可为肝癌后续血管内治疗提供途经。     

Long-term survival following emergency abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

Survival following emergency surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm remains poor and is in stark contrast to that for elective repair. We have carried out a 5-year retrospective observational study to determine the long-term (5-year) survival of patients following emergency surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm at a district general hospital in East Anglia. A total of 99 patients presented to the operating theatre for emergency repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm in this 5-year study period. In-hospital mortality was 70% and was unchanged over the 5 years. Overall long-term survival in those patients discharged from hospital was good. The ICU cost per long-term survivor was calculated to be pound sterling 36750.
