Objective:To investigate the analysis of features and differential diagnosis of ultrasonic image for patient with endometrial lesions.Methods: The imaging data of 80 patients with endometrial lesions were selected as random number table. The relevant ultrasound manifestations and sonographic features of patients were further analyzed, and then these data were compared with the pathological diagnosis by using operation.Results: In the 80 patients with endometrial lesions, 43 cases were endometrial polyps, and in the 43 cases, there were 41 cases were consistent with the pathological diagnosis and the diagnostic accordance rate was 95.35%, while there were 2 cases were not consistent between the two methods. 33 cases of the 80 patients were submucous myoma of uterus, and there were 29 cases of them were consistent with the pathological diagnosis and the diagnostic accordance rate was 87.88%, while there were 4 cases were not inconformity. And 4 cases of the 80 patients were endometrial carcinoma, the result was completely consistent with the pathological diagnosis and the diagnostic accordance rate was 100%. In the 6 misdiagnose cases, the ratios of atypical cases and (or) typical cases were 1:16, 5:36 and 1:8, respectively. All of these endometrial lesions has the distinctive manifestations on the ultrasonoscopy of color Doppler.Conclusion: For the detection of endometrial lesions, transvaginal colar Doppler ultrasonic detection has unique feature of ultrasonogram compared with other detection methods. In the contrast, there is a regular congruent relationship between the ultrasonogram of typical disease and section of pathological specimen by using operation in a certain degree, and the ultrasonogram of typical disease has definite diagnosis value.

Objective:To identify the vision care access in rural primary health institutions and the utilization of vision inspections among rural residents. Methods:Survey data was collected from primary health institutions ( town-ship health centers and village clinics) and households. The descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analysis were applied to analyze data. Results:The household survey data shows that 33. 2% of rural residents self-reported having poor vision, and 22. 1% of rural residents stated that they had ever used vision care (vision screening or vison examinations) . The health facilities survey data shows that 84% of township health centers and 44% of village clinics can provide vision care. The multivariate analysis shows that the vision care access in township health centers is sig-nificantly correlated with the probability of residents’ utilization of vision care, but there is no significant correlation between the provision of vision care in village clinics and its utilization. Conclusions:The vision care access is low in rural China though there is a huge demand therefore. Inadequate supply of primary vision care services in primary health institutions may result in low utilization among rural residents. It is suggested that the government further pro-mote the National Public Health Service Program and strengthen the capacity of primary health facilities to provide primary vision care. To do so, an increase in the utilization of vision care among rural residents can be expected, which would thereby reduce potential losses caused by further vision impairment.

Objective: To investigate the effect with its possible mechanisms of zacopride on vasodilatation of isolated coronary arterial rings in experimental rats.
Methods: The tension of vasodilatation of isolated coronary arterial rings of male SD rats was recorded by Powerlab and DMT system. The rats were divided into 4 groups: +Endo (vehicle) group, +Endo (zacopride) group and -Endo (vehicle) group, –Endo (zacopride) group.n=6 in each group. The vasodilatation effects of zacopride on KCl (60 mmol/L) and U46619 (10-6 mol/L) pre-constricted arterial ring were recorded; the effects of different agents on zacopride caused vasodilatation were studied.
Results: In both +Endo (zacopride) and –Endo (zacopride) groups, zacopride showed a dose dependent vasodilatation effect on coronary ring pre-constricted by KCl and U46619. The maximum vasodilatation effect of zacopride in KCl treated+Endo (zacopride) group was (90.15 ± 6.38) %, in U46619 treated-Endo (zacopride) group was (81.67 ± 4.97 ) %; the maximum vasodilatation effect of zacopride in KCl treated-Endo (zacopride) group was (85.48±5.04) %, in U46619 treated–Endo (zacopride) group was (79.65 ± 3.51) %, compared to each corresponding vehicle group, allP<0.05. The inhibitor of IK1 channel, BaCl2 could signiifcantly reduce the vasodilatation effect of zacopride in KCl and U46619 pre-constricted coronary ring,P<0.05. However, the inhibitor of eNOS (L-NAME), the blocker of KCa channel (TEA), blocker of Kv channel (4-AP) and blocker of KATP channel (Glib) had no such signiifcant effects, allP>0.05.
Conclusion: Zacopride had vasodilatation effect on coronary arterial ring which was pre-constricted by KCl and U46619, which might be related to the channel of IK1.

Objective To explore the technique of maximum entropy model for extracting Oncomelania hupensis snail habi?tats in Poyang Lake zone. Methods The information of snail habitats and related environment factors collected in Poyang Lake zone were integrated to set up the maximum entropy based species model and generate snail habitats distribution map. Two Land?sat 7 ETM+remote sensing images of both wet and drought seasons in Poyang Lake zone were obtained,where the two indices of modified normalized difference water index(MNDWI)and normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)were applied to ex?tract snail habitats. The ROC curve,sensitivities and specificities were applied to assess their results. Furthermore,the impor?tance of the variables for snail habitats was analyzed by using Jackknife approach. Results The evaluation results showed that the area under receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)of testing data by the remote sensing?based method was only 0.56, and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.23 and 0.89 respectively. Nevertheless,those indices above?mentioned of maximum en?tropy model were 0.876,0.89 and 0.74 respectively. The main concentration of snail habitats in Poyang Lake zone covered the northeast part of Yongxiu County,northwest of Yugan County,southwest of Poyang County and middle of Xinjian County,and the elevation was the most important environment variable affecting the distribution of snails,and the next was land surface tem?perature(LST). Conclusions The maximum entropy model is more reliable and accurate than the remote sensing?based meth?od for the sake of extracting snail habitats,which has certain guiding significance for the relevant departments to carry out mea?sures to prevent and control high?risk snail habitats.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) on the stability of resin-dentin bonds against pH cycling.

METHODSResin-bonded dentin specimens were prepared following manufacturers' instructions, and randomly divided into 3 groups. Among them, 2 groups experienced pH cycling, in which specimens applied CPP-ACP or distilled and deionized water (DDW) on the bonding interface, respectively. Microtensile bond strength (muTBS) testing, failure mode analysis, micromorphological and nanoleakage evaluation of bonding interface and elemental analysis within hybrid layer were performed after 15 days pH cycling. The other group was tested immediately after specimens' preparation without pH cycling.

RESULTSNo significant differences were found in muTBS between no pH cycling and pH cycling/CPP-ACP group. Their muTBS were both significantly higher than that of pH cycling/DDW group (P < 0.05). Mixed fractures were the most prevalent failure mode. The quality of hybrid layer in pH cycling/CPP-ACP group was better than that of pH cycling/DDW group, and the nanoleakage was also less severe. Comparing with pH cycling/DDW group, the atomic percentages of Ca in the other two groups were both significantly higher, while those of Ag were statistically lower (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONLocal application of CPP-ACP can promote the stability of resin-dentin bonding interface against pH cycling and prolong bonding degeneration.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of caffeine in premature infants receiving mechanical ventilation and related complications .Method From January 2014 to September 2016, preterm infants (28w≤GA<33w) treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) or conventional mechanical ventilation ( CMV ) in neonatal intensive care unit were studied .They were randomly assigned into the caffeine group and the control group .The caffeine group received caffeine when NCPAP ventilation was applied or adjusting to synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation ( SIMV) mode.The control group was injected with 5%glucose without caffeine .The t test andχ2 test were used to analyze the clinical efficacy and related complications .Result A total of 96 patients receiving NCPAP ventilation were collected ( birth weight between 1300~2100 g), including 51 cases in caffeine group and 45 cases in the control group. 84 cases received CMV ventilation (birth weight between 1000~1499 g), with 43 cases in the caffeine group and 41 cases the control group.Among the NCPAP infants, the incidence of failure to withdraw ventilator (0% vs.13.3%) and the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (3.9% vs.17.8%) were lower in the caffeine group than the control group .The duration of assisted ventilation and hospital stay in the caffeine group were shorter than the control group [(6.2 ±3.1) d vs.(8.2 ±3.2) d, (16.3 ±8.7) d vs. (19.5 ±9.2) d], the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Among the CMV infants, the incidence of failure of A/C to SIMV mode transition and bronchopulmonary dysplasia were lower in the caffeine group than the control group and the duration of assisted ventilation and hospital stay were shorter . The differences were statistically significant ( P <0.05 ) . No differences were found in the related complications in each group ( P>0.05) . Conclusion Caffeine can help reduce the incidences of withdrawal failure, bronchopulmonary dysplasia , ventilation duration and hospital stay when using NCPAP and CMV ventilation.

Objective: To investigate prospectively molecular and clinical characteristics of infants with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) caused by DUOX2 mutations in Guangzhou. Methods: A population-based cohort of 83 patients with CH were recruited based on newborn screening results among 108 899 newborns who were born in Guangzhou between April 1 and September 30 in 2015.Genetic analysis of DUOX2 hotspots(including 11 exons)by PCR-direct sequencing was performed in 52 patients with suspected thyroid dyshormonogenesis (SDH) according to thyroid ultrasound at diagnosis.All the patients were followed up for 3 years.The data of this cohort study(prevalence of CH, detection rate of DUOX2, clinical features) were compared with those of 96 patients with SDH in 2011-2012. Results: (1) The incidence of CH in 2015 was 1∶1 312, and 73.5%(61/83 cases) of CH patients were classified as SDH.Compared with those founded in 2011-2012, the incidence of CH was increased (1∶1 312 vs.1∶2 779), and the difference was significant (P<0.001), while the frequency of SDH was not different significantly (73.5%vs.76.6%, P=0.593). (2)There were 27 cases(51.9%) with SDH detected DUOX2 hotspots variants, including 6 cases with biallelic variants, 21 cases with monoallelic variants, and 1 possible new pathogenic variant p. S1091F.The p. K530X was the most common mutation accounting for 51.5%(17/33 cases) detected allelic and involving in 16 cases (30.8%) with SDH.Novel p. S1091F variant was probably damaging variant.Both detected rate and spectrum of DUOX2 variant were not significantly different compared with those in 2011-2012 (all P>0.05). (3) There were no significant differences in the levels of thyrotropin (bsTSH), serum TSH (sTSH), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroglobulin in neonates with dry blood spot at diagnosis between children with DUOX2 and without DUOX2 variants cases(all P>0.05). Among 27 cases, 24(88.9%) patients with DUOX2 mutation were transient CH, and 3 cases were permanent CH. Conclusions The incidence of CH was increased in last few years in Guangzhou.Most of them were SDH, and 51.9% of SDH cases had DUOX2 hotspots variants.Temporary CH is the main clinical outcome.The p. K530X was the most common mutation in this cohort population.

Objective: To explore the TPO, DUOX2 and DUOXA2 genotypes and phenotypes of children with permanent congenital hypothyroidism(PCH) suspected dyshormonogenesis in Guangzhou, identified and treated at Guangzhou Newborn Screening Center. Six of them were born between 2011 and 2012. Method: Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 9 children with PCH suspected dyshormonogenesis. Genetic analysis of TPO, DUOX2 and DUOXA2 genes were performed with Sanger sequencing. Result: Of the 9 patients, four were identified variants in TPO gene including three cases with biallelic variants and one case with monoallelic variant. Novel c. 1784G>C( p. R595T) variant in TPO was predicted to be damaging by SIFT and PolyPhen-2. Four patients harbored monoallelic known variants in DUOX2 gene and the other one harbored heterozygous known mutation c. 738C>G(p.Y246X) in DUOXA2 gene.Two adolescent patients with biallelic variants in TPO gene showed classical PCH phenotypes with thyroid goiter or nodules. The six patients with monoallelic variant in TPO, DUOX2 or DUOXA2 presented variable phenotypes. Among the 433 578 newborns in the 2011-2012 cohort, there were 156 cases of CH. Six of these cases were PCH suspected dyshormonogenesis, among which 1 case was confirmed TPO biallelic variants and 5 cases were monoallelic variants of TPO, DUOX2, or DUOXA2 genes. Conclusion TPO and DUOX2 variants are the common molecular pathogenesis in children with PCH suspected dyshormonogenesis. Monoallelic variants in TPO, DUOX2 or DUOXA2 are associated with PCH and showed wide variability in their phenotypes. The novel variant p. R595T in TPO is probably a pathologic variant. The prevalence of PCH caused by TPO gene defects is rare in Guangzhou.

Objective To investigate the epidemiology characteristics of crawfish related rhabdomyolysis (RM) in Nanjing, 2016.Methods Outpatient and inpatient electronic medical system of 21 hospitals in Nanjing during 2016 were retrospectively searched, and all the patients diagnosed with RM were selected. The patients with none crayfish-related RM was excluded. The epidemiology characteristics were depicted. The geographic information system (GIS) was used to collect, manage and analyze the spatial data, to visualize it, to analyze the spatial distribution features of the disease, and to explore the cause of disease prediction. GeoDa 1.8 software was used to analyze the global and local spatial auto-correlation.Results A total of 1183 patients with crawfish related RM were initially screened, excluding 59 patients with RM caused by trauma, severe exercise, heat stroke, myositis, poisoning, drugs, and genetic diseases, and 1124 patients were enrolled. The proportion of men was 36.48% (410/1124) with an incidence of 12.54/100 thousands; while of women was 63.52% (714/1124) with an incidence of 21.86/100 thousands. The median age at onset was 34 (28, 43) years. From July to August, the incidence of crawfish related RM was the highest, accounting for 96.53% of the total number of cases. The top four incidence areas were Pukou (41.54/100 thousands), Jianye (25.94/100 thousands), Qixia (25.73/100 thousands), Gulou (25.04/100 thousands), all of which were adjacent to the Yangtze River. Global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed: MoranI = 0.427,Z = 2.646,P = 0.003, suggesting that the crawfish related RM had positive spatial autocorrelation. The results showed that the spatial structure of crawfish related RM existed in Nanjing in 2016. Local spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the high-high concentration areas were Pukou, Jianye and Liuhe. The incidences of above three areas which were the Nanjing section of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River flowed through the region and surrounding areas were higher than the overall incidence of Nanjing.Conclusion The prevalence of crawfish related RM in Nanjing during 2016 had an obvious region-concentrated character and global spatial autocorrelation with the high prevalent regions mainly concentrated in the urban areas adjacent to the Yangtze River.
