OBJECTIVE: To observe the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes ("deficiency of qi and yin" and "deficiency of liver yin and kidney yin") and A267G in 5'-untranslated region within exonal of megsin gene, and to search the substantial genetic basis for micro-differentiation of TCM syndromes in primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). METHODS: A total of 120 IgAN cases meeting the diagnostic criteria were enrolled. The sequence of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of A267G in 5'-untranslated region within exonal of megsin gene was tested. The correlation between SNP and TCM syndromes was observed. RESULTS: There were 83 cases carrying GG genotype, 34 cases carrying GA genotype and 3 cases carrying AA genotype in 120 cases of primary IgAN. There was a high proportion of "deficiency of liver yin and kidney yin" in IgAN cases with AA and GA genotypes, and a high proportion of "deficiency of qi and yin" in IgAN cases with GG genotype (P<0.01). Odds ratio in TCM syndrome distribution between GG genotype and GA plus AA genotype was 9.800, and 95% confidence interval was 3.969-24.199. The discrepancy also resided in IgAN patients with different genders and ages. CONCLUSION: A267G in 5'-untranslated region within exonal of the megsin gene may be one of the substantial genetic basis for differentiating "deficiency of liver yin and kidney yin" syndrome and "deficiency of qi and yin" syndrome in primary IgAN.

Objective To explore the influence of minimally invasive puncture drainage on blood brain barrier (BBB) function and its mechanism.Methods Ninety-two patients with hypertensive intra-cerebral hemorrhage (HICH) in the Department of Neurosurgery of Jiaxing Affiliated Second Hospital of Zhejiang Province were divided into a control group and an observation group, according to random number table method, 46 cases in each group. In the control group, the conventional craniotomy was performed, while in the observation group, minimally invasive puncture drainage was carried out to remove the hematoma. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) were used to evaluate the neural function, the level of serum myelin basic protein (MBP) was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the central nervous specific serum protein S100 level was measured by electrochemical luminescence method, the albumin levels in serum and cerebrospinal fluid were determined by automatic biological analyzer, and the BBB index was calculated. After 14 days of surgery, the curative effect and incidence of complications of two groups were observed.Results After surgery, the NIHSS scores of two groups were obviously lower than those before surgery, and the degree of descent in observation group was more significant than that in the control group (score: 3.68±2.39 vs. 5.43±3.89,P < 0.05); after surgery, the levels of MBP, S100, albumin in cerebrospinal fluid and BBB in two groups were higher than those before surgery [MBP (μg/L): 3.02±0.28 vs. 3.81±0.29, S100 (μg/L): 0.95±0.24 vs. 1.34±0.27, cerebrospinal fluid albumin (μg/L): 9.89±0.78 vs. 21.43±1.14, BBB index: 0.22±0.04 vs. 0.48±0.05], the differences being statistically significant (allP < 0.05), but the change values in the observation group were less significant than those in the control group. The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [84.78% (39/46) vs. 65.22% (30/46),χ2 = 4.696,P = 0.030]. The incidence of wound infection, gastrointestinal bleeding in observation group was markedly lower than that in the control group [16.67% (6/46) vs. 36.96% (17/46), χ2 = 4.120,P = 0.042].Conclusion The minimally invasive puncture drainage has unequivocal clinical curative effect in treatment of patients with HICH, it can protect the nerve and BBB functions and reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective To report the first case of cutaneous type adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma(cATLL) in China. Methods The skin lesion was examined by histopathology and direct immunofluorescence (DIF), and the immunophenotype was also studied. ELISA and Western blot were used to test the serum antibodies to HTLV-Ⅰ, and HTLV-Ⅰproviral DNA of lymphoid cells was detected by PCR. Results The patient had polymorphic skin lesions including papules, plaques, and bullae with tense or flaccid walls. Histopathogical examination showed subepidermal bullae, and there were small-to-medium-sized atypical lymphoid cell infiltrations in the dermal papilla in the bottom, and border of the bulla. CD45+ and CD45RO+ staining, and negative DIF were observed in the atypical lymphoid cells. The serum antibodies to HTLV-Ⅰ, and proviral DNA of HTLV-Ⅰin the blood lymphoid cells were detected. The patient died with a disease course of one year and ten months. Conclusion ATLL is not extremely rare in China, and cATLL may also exist.

Objective To explore the advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic combined with colonoscopic surgery (double endoscope surgery) and open surgery in the treatment of special types of colorectal polyps. Methods The clinical data of 62 patients with special types of colorectal polyps (wide base sessile, special parts or suspected cancerous, endoscopic resection difficult or high risk) were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 42 patients underwent double endoscope surgery (double endoscope group), and 20 patients underwent open surgery (open group). The operating time, amount of bleeding during operation, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay and complication rate were compared between 2 groups. Results All the patients had successful resection of the polyps, and there were no operative deaths. There was no conversion to open surgery in double endoscope group. Two patients in the open group were unable to locate the lesion by the tactile sensation of the hand and then succeeded in locating by intraoperative colonoscopy. The operating time, amount of bleeding during operation, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay and complication rate in double endoscope group were significantly lower than those in open group: (60.5 ± 25.4) min vs. (75.8 ± 20.6) min, (30.5 ± 15.8) ml vs. (55.2 ± 24.6) ml, (24.6 ± 10.5) h vs. (40.5 ± 16.8) h, (3.2 ± 1.0) d vs. (5.8 ± 2.2) d and 0 vs. 20% (4/20), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There was 1 case with early postoperative inflammatory bowel obstruction, 1 case with abdominal infection and 2 cases with incision infection in open group. There was no operative death in the two groups, and these patients were cured by conservative treatment. The follow-up time was 3-36 (18.6 ± 12.3) months, and all the patients survived. The patients in 2 groups had no recurrence and metastasis, no anastomotic stenosis, anastomotic leakage and other complications. Conclusions For the special types of colorectal polyps, double endoscope surgery is less invasive, with faster recovery and less complications. It is the first choice except for endoscopic resection.
