PURPOSES:To investigate the time of neuronie apoptosis in the retinas of Imman fetuses,and its relations with neuronie proliferation and differentiation, METHODS:The retinas of 27 human fetuses from 8th to 38th week of R,~til- ization age and 3 adults were studied by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labelling(TUNEL) method. RESULTS:Tbe nuctei of labeled apoptotic cells were charaeterised by nuclear marginization,ehromatln condensation and cleseent shape,and some apoptotie bodies were visible in the specimens. The apoptosis of neuroepithelium of fetal rclina took place during 8th to 18th week, Apoptosis of ganglion cells were observed from 1256 to 18th week. The apoptos[s of pholorec, plors were formd from 14th to 2Ist week ,while thai of bipolar neurones and M~ller cells were found from ldth to 28th week. No apoptosb of ocstones were observed in the retinas after 28th week of fertilization age and within the retinas of adults. CONCLUSION:The proliferating cells of neuroepithelium and Ihe neurones which just differetiated from fetal retina might partly undergo apoptosis. The time of apoptosls of differentiated neurones was consistent with the time of the synapses formation between neurones and their targel cells. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1997,13:67 -69 ）
Abstract: Objective To investigate the influence of cryopreservation on cellular viability of latepregnancy fetal valved allografts in human. Methods The fetal valved allografts with gestational ages ranged from 24 to 40 weeks were sterilely procured within 6 hours after brain death. Each sample was bisected into control group and experiment group. The cellular viability of control group was directly tested and that of experiment group was examined after being storaged in liquid nitrogen for a week through a programmed frozen procedure. The light microscopy, tissue culture and Methylthiazol tetrazolium assay (MTT assay) were used to determine the cellular viability. Results Twelve latepregnancy fetal valved aortic allografts were procured. Light microscopy showed the integrity of the basic structure of the thawed aorta, the normal structure of the collagen and elastic fibers, with part of vascular endothelium lost. There were lots of cells deriving from both groups,but the cellular growing rate of the experiment group was relatively slower. At 490 nm, MTT assay valve of control group was 0.442±0.046, and that of experiment group was 0.424±0.041. The difference between two groups failed to statistically significance(t=1.617, P=0.328). Conclusion There were viable cells in latepregnancy fetal valved allografts after cryopreservation.
目的 分析死胎死亡原因及可能的相关因素，为降低死胎发生的措施提供依据。 方法 对2007年1月－2011年12月住院分娩的609例死胎（≥28周） 的病例资料进行回顾性分析,包括对产检次数差异、死胎性别、死胎孕周分布、母亲年龄差别、母亲文化程度等进行统计分析。 结果 ① 死胎的原因依次为：胎儿因素（41.2%），母体因素（24.1%），胎盘因素（21.7%）及不明原因（13.0%）；其中胎儿畸形、重度子痫前期及胎盘早剥为主要原因；② 母亲的文化程度低、未建卡或未正规产检者死胎发生的几率高于正规产检者，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。 结论 加强围产保健，早期筛查胎儿畸形、防治妊娠期并发症及合并症等都有助于降低死胎的发生率。

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical results used fetal bone repairing the defect after osteoma resection. METHODS In 8 hours after abortion, the fetal bones of four limbs were cut and kept in the normal saline with gentamycin. Then the graft was storaged under 6 degrees C-8 degrees C and the longest storage time was 48 hours. Since 1990, seven cases of osteoma had been cured with fetal bone graft. Among them, there were 5 males and 2 females, aged from 6 to 38 years, the bone defect volume ranged from 5.5 cm x 3.6 cm x 2.5 cm to 9.0 cm x 4.3 cm x 3.2 cm. During operation, the osteoma was resected radically, then the defected cavity was impacted with prepared fetal bone. RESULTS After operation, the general condition was good, all the incision wound healed primarily. Sixteen weeks after operation, the defected cavity was repaired completely and the medullary cavity reopened. Follow-up for 8 months to 5 years, no recurrence or side-effect were observed. CONCLUSION Because of the more rapid expansion and replacement effect, the ber osteoinduction, and the lower immune response, the fetal bone is practical material for repairing the bone defect in osteoma resection.
Objective To summarize the clinical experience of cardiac surgery during pregnancy in a single center for the past 11 years. MethodsThe clinical data of 26 pregnant patients (mean age 28.6±4.9 years) complicated with heart diseases who underwent non-emergency cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass from 2010 to 2020 in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to the gestational age at the time of surgery: a change group (gestational age<21 weeks) and a stable group (gestational age≥21 weeks). The hospitalization data and follow-up data of the patients were collected. ResultsMean gestational age at surgery was 23.4±4.2 weeks. Eleven patients had congenital heart diseases and fifteen had valvular heart diseases. Meanpostoperative ICU stay was 2.5±2.4 d, and mean total hospital stay was 22.5±9.5 d. There were 5 postoperative fetal losses. There was no maternal death during follow-up. No statistical difference in the maternal postoperative outcomes between two groups. ConclusionThe number of patients undergoing cardiac surgery during pregnancy is increasing. The maternal mortality rate is low and the prognosis is good, but the fetal loss remains concern. Cardiac surgery performed before or after the establishment of cardiopulmonary adjustment in pregnancy does not change the maternal postoperative outcomes.
Abstract In order to repair the bone defect afteroperation of benign lesion of extremity, the fetal demineralized bone was applied in 10 cases. These cases were followed up for 6 months to 8 years. The results showed that the grafted bone was integrated with the host bone in 6 months. Noadverse effect was found. The demineralized bone did not induce rejection. The advantages of using fetal demineralized bone were as follows: easily obtainable,its preparation and method of storage simple, and low finacial cast.
Objective To investigate the gene expression of p38mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) and its upstream signaling molecule (mkk3 and mkk6) in fetal skin at different developmental stages and postnatal skin and its potential biological significance. Methods The fetal skin biopsies were obtained from human embryo of spontaneous abortion at gestational ages from 13 to 32 weeks and postnatal skin specimens were collected from patients(4-16 years) undergoing plastic surgery. After the morphological characteristics of skins at different developmental stages were detected with pathological methods, the gene expressions of p38MAPK, mkk3 and mkk6 in skins were examined with reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction analysis (RT-PCR). Results The gene expressions of p38MAPK, mkk3 and mkk6 could all be detected in fetal and postnatal skins. In fetal skins, these 3 genes were bly expressed. Along with fetal growth and development, the gene expressions of p38MAPK and its upstream signaling molecules were faded gradually. In postnatal skin, the mRNA contents of these 3 genes were significantly decreased in comparison with those in fetal skin (Plt;0.01). Conclusion p38 MAPK mediated signal pathways might be involved in the skin developmentat embryonic stage and in the determination of cutaneous structure and function, and also in wound healing at postnatal stage. The relative increment of these gene transcription in younger fetal skin might be one of the reasons why cutaneous cells proliferate rapidly and the wounds heal without scar.
