AIM:To observe the effects of high temperature on voltage - dependence of delayed rectifier K+ channel (Ik) in hypothalamus neurons. METHODS: The date recording from cell - attached patches of patch - clamp technique. RESULTS: With temperature raising, shift of voltage dependence may be mediated at different degree, while higher temperature might weaken and depressed. CONCLUSION: Shift of voltage dependence likely contribut- ed to the body fever and heatstroke.

Objective To investigate the association between carotid atherosclerosis(AS) and serum magnesium(Mg) in hemodialyzed (HD) patients.Methods Clinical index was measured,and intimamedia thickness (IMT) of extracranial common carotid artery and presence of atherosclerotic plaques were determined by high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography.The data were analyzed between plaque positive group and plaque negative group.Results The age,serum phosphate (P),total cholesterol (TCH),low density lipoprotein (LDL),serum C-reactive protein (CRP),serum albumin(Alb),and serum Mg all had significant difference between two groups(t =4.153,2.908,2.301,6.322,5.791,2.341,7.778,P <0.01 or P < 0.05).The risk factors of HD patients with AS were serum Mg and CRP(P < 0.01).Conclusions The occurrence of AS was related to low Mg and high CRP in HD patients.

Objective To establish the pipeline and evaluate the feasibility of high-throughput sequencing method used in the detection of severe pneumonia pathogens.Methods Clinical control study was used.Bronchi alveolar lavage fluids (BALF) samples from 76 patients with severe pneumonia (treatment group) and 18 patients with tracheal malacia (control group) and without clinical detected pathogens were collected during March 2015 to December 2016 in Shenzhen Children′s Hospital.The pathogens in the samples were detected using clinical tests and high-throughput sequencing respectively.The results of high-throughput sequencing were confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR and the high-throughput sequencing method used in the detection of severe pneumonia pathogens was evaluated.The χ2 test was used to analyze the correlation of detection rate between the high-throughput sequencing group and the non high-throughput sequencing group.Results The pipeline and method of high-throughput sequencing used in the severe pneumonia pathogens detection was established.The pipeline included sample collection, DNA extraction, library construction, sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis.In 76 cases of patients with severe pneumonia, the results of high-throughput sequencing in 66 cases of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid specimens were positive.The sensitivity was 86.84%, which was significantly higher than the total sensitivity of traditional clinical detection methods including bacterial culture, immunofluorescence and quantitative PCR(68.42%,52/76),χ2=7.426,P<0.001.A total of 13 pathogens were detected in 66 positive samples of high-throughput sequencing, including Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and adenovirus, etc.Nine kinds of pathogens were detected in these samples through non-high-throughput sequencing.In the experimental group, the results obtained by clinical test and high-throughput (80.26%) were entirely consistent in 61 samples and not completely consistent in 15 samples (19.74%) specimens.These inconsistent results were mainly concentrated in the detection of adenovirus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae through high-throughput sequencing, whereas clinical cultures and immunofluorescence methods were not able to detect these pathogens.PCR validation showed that there was no significant difference between the results of high-throughput sequencing and the PCR tests (χ2=0.517,P=0.472), and the difference between the results of high-throughput sequencing and traditional clinical detection methods was statistically significant (χ2=11.671,P<0.001).Conclusion The method for the detection of severe pneumonia pathogens based on high-throughput sequencing is highly sensitive and can detect unknown pathogens, which is superior to those used in traditional clinical detection.

Objective This study was to analysis the epidemiologic characteristics of hand-foot-month (HFMD) in Shenzhen during 2015-2016,to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of HFMD.Methods 7 758 statistical data from Shenzhen children's hospital clinical lab during 2015-2016 was included.We used real time fluorescent reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect enterovirus general (EV),enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A group 16 (CoxA16),and analyzed the age,sex and epidemic time of the patients.Results In 2015 and 2016,the positive rate of EV was 67.19% (2679/3987) and 52.61% (1 984/3 771) respectively,with statistically significant difference (x2 =71.84,P < 0.05).The radio of male to female children was 1.91∶1 (1 757/922) and 1.83∶1 (l 283/701) in 2015 and 2016,with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).The age of the children was < 5 years old,accounting for more than 90% of the total number of patients.April to July and September were the two peaks of HFMD.The enterovirus of hand foot and mouth disease in Shenzhen was dominated by other enteroviruses (more than 82% of the total number of patients).With the increase of age,the proportion of EV71 in children with severe hand and foot was increasing,and the proportion of other enteroviruses was decreasing.Conclusions Vaccination is one of the important measures of HFMD control.It's beneficial for the diagnosis and treatment of HFMD to collected epidemiologic characteristics data about HFMD in Shenzhen.
