During 14-17th days, the duodenum of the rat fetus was composed of stratified epithelium and peripheral mesenchyme. On 18th day, the mesenchyme began to protrude toward the basal aspect of the epithelium, resulted in the formation of primary villi. At the sametime, goblet cells and the primordia of intestinal glands appeared. The number of goblet cells,which located at the surface of the villi, increased gradually with the fetus age, whereas after birth the goblet cells decreased with the development and maturation of intestinal glands. From 19th day till 3-4 weeks after birth, the shape of villi changed continuously, and attained to the adult shape in 4th week.

OBJECTIVE To study the gene chip joint pyrosequencing technology in the newborn genetic deafness gene mutation screening, and provide a theoretical basis for the early diagnosis and prevention of genetic deafness. METHODS 2000 Neonatal EDTA umbilical cord blood was collected and genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted. Microarray chip was used to detect four deafness gene at 9 mutation sites. And the positive result of gene chip detection was verified by pyrosequencing.RESULTS Among the GJB2 mutations, there were 1 case of 35delG mutation type, 3 cases of 176 del16 mutation type, 57 cases of 235del C mutation type, 9 cases of 299 del AT mutation type, 6 cases of GJB3 gene 538C>T mutation type. There were 5 cases of 1555A>G mutations and 1 case of 1494C>T mutations in mitochondrial 12S rRNA. There were 6 cases of 2168A>G mutation type and 23 cases of IVS7-2A>G mutations in SLC26A4. 103 cases of newborns carry the mutated gene in 2,000, the gene mutation rate is 5.15%. CONCLUSION All the four genes mutation at nine mutation sites are found in newborns with family history of non-hereditary deafness, and GJB2 gene mutation is common. The screening of genetic deafness in newborns is very important for early diagnosis and prevention of hereditary hearing loss. In particular, the diagnosis of mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene mutation can prevent the occurrence of deafness caused by drug use, for the genetic mutation of these carriers' health is of great significance.

Objective To evaluate the effects of thalidomide in combination with dexamethasone (ID) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and in patients on stable phase. Methods Sixty-two patients with multiple myeloma were studied, include 25 with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, and 37 in stable phase. For the relapsed or refractory patients, thalidomide and dexamethasone was given at first three cycles, and then other regiments were given to no-response patients. For the all response patients, the second three cycles TD were enforced. On stable phase patients, thalidomide and dexamethasone were given as the second three cycles of relapsed or refractory patients. Then, thalidomide was given persistently until the disease relapse. Results All of the 25 relapsed or refractory patients were accepted the first 3 cycle TD treatment. The total response rate (VGPR+PR+MR) was 80 %. No complete remission (CR) and near CR(nCR) was gained. For the all response patients, the second three cycles TD were enforced. One patient achieved nCR. Thalidomide was given to all response patients. The median remission time was 6.8 (4~12) months. TD regimen was used to the 37 stable phase patients. The median remission time was 17.5 (8~26) months. The remission time of stable remission patients is longer then that of relapsed or refractory patients (P <0.001). Conclusion The combination of thalidomide and dexamethasone is a feasible and active regimen in the treatment of relapsed or refractory, and stable phase myeloma patients.

Objective:
To establish a prediction model for infectious disease index(IDI)by autoregressive integrated moving average(ARIMA),and to provide forcast of infectious diseases to the public.
Methods:
The data of the percentage of influenza-like illness(ILI),the incidence rates of hand-foot-mouth disease(HFMD)and other infectious diarrhea(OID)from the 1st week of 2014 to the 14th week of 2018,and Breteau index(BI)from the 1st week of 2016 to the 14th week of 2018 were collected. ARIMA models were built to predict the risk indicators of ILI,HFMD,OID and BI. The weights of the four indicators were evaluated seasonally by the entropy weight method. Then the IDI was calculated and the data of ILI,HFMD, OID and BI from 15th to 19th week in 2018 was used for verification.
Results:
The forecast was in summer,so IDI=ROUND(0.33×risk index of ILI percentage +0.47×risk index of HFMD incidence +0.10×risk index of OID incidence+0.10×risk index of BI). The predicted IDI would be 2(less safe)in the whole city and Xiangzhou District,and 1(safe)in Doumen District and Jinwan District. The consistency rates of IDI prediction was 97.50%,95.00%,97.50%,85.00% and 77.50% from 15th to 19th week in 2018,respectively.
Conclusion
It was feasible to use IDI for short-term risk prediction of infectious diseases.

Traditional 3D ultrasound reconstruction system can just depict 3D anatomical structure, so it is very difficult to give an accurate assessment of the functionality of the heart. In this study, a dynamic 3D reconstruction method of tissue Doppler ultrasound heart images is set up based on the combination of 3D reconstruction and tissue Doppler imaging technique. Dynamic 3D acceleration field of heart movement is reconstructed to supply a new approach of accurate assessment of functionality of the heart. The key problem of vector interpolation and fusion imaging in the process of acceleration vector field reconstruction is solved. The 3D acceleration field of heart movement and anatomical structure is reconstructed separately from the original tissue Doppler acceleration images and showed in the same field. The experimental results testified that the 3D space relationship of acceleration and anatomical structure is correct and this method can supply more information for the assessment of heart functionality.

BACKGROUND: Many studies have shown that cell-assisted lipotransfer promotes the survival of fat implants, but there are few studies exploring stromal vascular fraction (SVF) -assisted fat transplantation for improving facial skin quality. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effect of autologous adipose-derived SVF-assisted autologous fat transplantation in the improvement of facial skin quality. METHODS: From September 2016 to June 2018, in the Plastic and Cosmetic Center, the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, 20 patients were recruited and then randomly divided into experimental group and control group, namely SVF-assisted fat transplantation and simple fat transplantation, respectively. A VISIA skin detector was used to detect facial skin quality of patients preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively, including spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, ultraviolet spots, brown spots, couperose skin and porphyrin. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The effect of improvement in wrinkles and texture in the experimental group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In terms of spots, pores and couperose skin, the therapeutic effect in the experimental group was better than that in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the improvement of ultraviolet spot and brown spots. The porphyrin was not affected by the subjects. To conclude, SVF can promote the effect of fat transplantation in the improvement of facial skin quality.

Objective: This study investigated the efficacy and safety of a combination of lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexametha-sone (RVD) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). Methods: The clinical features and responses of 48 patients with NDMM who were treated with RVD from January 2015 to May 2019 in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The median age of the 48 patients was 59 years (range: 34-79). Among these, 44 patients were Durie-Salmon stageⅢ, 15 were ISS stageⅡ, 19 were ISS stageⅢ, and 12 had plasmacytoma; 32.5% of all patients were cytogenetic high-risk. All patients re-ceived a median of four cycles (range: 1-9) of the RVD regimen as induction treatment. The overall response rate was 97.9%, with 35.4% of patients achieving complete response (CR) or better. The rate of very good partial remission (VGPR) or better was increased from 64.1% (after two cycles) to 84.6% (after four cycles). The mean collection of CD34+cells was 4.2 (± 2.6)×106/kg. Negative minimal residual disease (MRD), as indicated by next-generation flow (NGF), was achieved in 20.6% of patients after induction. Two patients with positive MRD after induction became MRD negative after transplantation. Two patients developed grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxic-ity. No nonhematologic toxicity of grade 3 or 4 was observed. Conclusions: In patients with NDMM, RVD treatment resulted in signifi-cantly improved response rates and exhibited an acceptable risk-benefit profile, with no adverse impact on stem cell collection. RVD combined with transplantation significantly improved the negative rate of MRD, as indicated by NGF.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and ADM microparticle on diabetic wound healing.Methods:ADSCs was co-cultured with ADM microparticle in vitro. The models of diabetic nude mice were established by intraperitoneal injection of STZ and the full-thickness skin defects were designed on the back. All 24 diabetic mice were randomly divided into 4 group: experimental groups were transplanted with ADSCs and ADM microparticle and the other groups were transplanted with ADSCs, ADM microparticle and blank control group was set up. On the 7th and 14 th days, the wound healing rate of 3 mice randomly selected from each group was calculated, and the thickness between dermis and epidermis was measured by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The density of neovascularization was measured by immunohistochemical staining. The differences were compared between the groups.Results:Compared to the ADSCs groups, the mice of the experimental groups showed higher cell survival rate. The wound healing rate in the experimental groups was (86.0±2.7)% (7 days) and (98.5±1.1)% (14 days), thicker dermis-epidermis distance was (99.1±1.8) μm (7 days) and (124.3±4.3) μm (14 days) ( P<0.05), and higher density of neovascularization was noted. Conclusions:The transplantation with active ADM microparticle can significantly promote neovascularization and wound healing of diabetic wound.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of immune status on disease progression in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) achieving deep response.Methods:Clinical data of 125 NDMM patients at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from August 2015 to February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed who achieved very good partial response (VGPR) or better after front-line treatment. The immune status and its influence on progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed.Results:(1) All patients received novel drug regimens, and 50.4% (63/125) patients followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The rate of complete response (CR) as best efficacy was 89.6%, in which 66.4% achieved CR and MRD negativity tested by second generation flow cytometry. (2) Cox multivariate analysis suggested that persistent severe immunoparesis 3 months and 6 months since the best response was an independent poor prognostic factor for PFS. (3) The 3-year PFS rate in the severe immunoparesis group was significantly lower than that in the control group (41.3% vs. 64.4%, P=0.021). (4) The 3-year PFS rates in patients with persistent severe immunoparesis at 3 months or 6 months were significantly lower (30.0% vs. 63.5%, P<0.001; 16.4% vs. 63.8%, P<0.001 respectively). (5) Even in those achieving CR and negative MRD, the 3-year PFS rate when severe immunoparesis lasted 6 months was significantly lower (22.2% vs. 83.2%, P=0.005). Conclusion:The immune status in NDMM patients achieving deep response is closely related to survival. Persistent severe immunoparesis indicates early progression of the disease.
