OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of mouse models establishment with kidney-positive deficiency with anti-sense oligonucleotide-loaded biodegradable polylactic acid microspheres. METHODS:Three-week old mice were randomized into groups A,B,C,D and E,with 6 mice in each group,where the mice in group A were given subcutaneous injection 0.2 ml nor-mal saline,and those in groups B-E were given subcutaneous injection 0.1,0.2,0.4 and 0.8 mg each mice of antisense oligonucle-otide-loaded biodegradable polylactic acid microspheres. After the administration,the weights and activities of mice in all groups were observed;and one month later,their livers,adrenal glands and brains were collected to detect the expression of glucocorti-coid receptor (GR) by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS:All mice except those in group A were found to have kidney-positive deficiency symptoms such as developmental delay,light weight,less activities and gathering to-gether. Compared to group A,other groups showed lower GR expressions in liver,adrenal gland and brain. There was statistically difference (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Antisense oligonucleotide-loaded biodegradable polylactic acid microspheres can inhibit GR expression,and the mice whose GR expression is inhibited show symptoms of kidney-positive deficiency,which provides a re-ference for the establishment of mouse models with kidney-positive deficiency.

AIM:To analyze relevancy between the changes of the retinal thicknesses of children's anisometropic amblyopic macular at Area A1 before and at the end of amplyopia cure and amplyopia cure effect.
METHODS: Through randomly selecting 30 cases ( 60 eyes) of anisometropic amblyopic children as test group and 29 cases ( 58 eyes ) of children with normal vision after the vision correction as control group, the changes of the retinal thicknesses of macular of the test group and the control group at Area A1 by OCT-3 was observed dynamically and analyzed.
RESULTS: Compared with first diagnosis, the comparative difference of retinal thicknesses of macular at Area A1 in control group at 3, 6mo has statistical significance. The test group was divided into amblyopia group and non-amblyopia group. There has statistical significance for the comparative difference between the retinal thicknesses of macular centre at 3, 6mo and the first diagnosis in the non - amblyopia group, the amblyopia group was divided into the invalid cure group, progress group and the cured group according to amblyopic cure effect. Compared with first diagnosis, there is no statistical significance of macular at Area A1 in invalid cure group and progress group at 3, 6mo, and in the cured group at 3mo, but in the cured group at 6mo has statistical significance.
CONCLUSION: There is a certain relationship between the changes of retinal thicknesses of macular of children with anisometropic amblyopic at Area A1 before and at the end of amblyopia treatment and amblyopia cure effect. OCT is a kind of objective auxiliary test method and provides new clues for amblyopia research.

Objective To investigate the application and clinical significance of 24-hour multichannel intraaluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Methods Fiftythree patients with GERD were enrolled in this study according to the Montreal consensus (consulting for twice reflux a week or above) from July 2011 to June 2012.Patients were divided into erosive esophagitis (EE,n =25)group and non-erosive reflux disease (NERD,n =28) group after endoscopy and MII-pH monitoring.Fifteen healthy volunteers were recruited as the normal controls.The change of pH and MII-pH parameters were compared among the three groups and the significance of the change was investigated.Results Twenty-four-hour pH monitoring showed that all the acid reflux events in the EE and the NERD groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).MII-pH monitoring showed that the frequencies of total reflux,acid reflux,weakly acidic reflux and percentage of acid reflux in the GERD group were higher than in the control group (total reflux:83 (54,118) vs.62 (44,111) vs.42 (20,70),P =0.003 ; acid reflux:45 (25,79) vs.22 (11,45) vs.3(1,10),P =0.000 ;weakly acidic reflux:36(18,47) vs.43(21,82) vs.23(11,43),P =0.001 ;percentage of acid reflux:53％ (37％,81％) vs.32％ (13％,48％) vs.11％ (1％,23％),P =0.002).The frequency and percentage of acid reflux in the EE group were higher than those in the NERD group (P =0.000)The percentage of weakly acidic reflux in the NERD group was higher than in the EE group (66％ (43％,79％) vs.46％ (21％,57％),P ＜0.01).The frequencies of liquid reflux and mixed reflux in the GERD groups were higher than those in the control group (22 (12,40) vs.18 (12,26) vs.9 (4,18) ; 54 (39,79) vs.42 (25,77) vs.29(14,48) ;P ＜0.01).The frequency of gas reflux in the control group was higher than in the GERD group (86(56,207) vs.31 (14,62) vs.34 (15,119),P ＜ 0.01).The frequency and percentage of proximal reflux in the GERD group were significantly higher than in the control group (28(18,41) vs.16(12,34) vs.3 (2,9) ; 33％ (22％,49％) vs.29％ (22％,35％) vs.11％ (6％,22％),P ＜ 0.001).The percentage of symptom positive index in patients with acid reflux,non-acidic reflux and total reflux in the EE group were 36.0％ (9/25),20.0％ (5/25) and 56.0％ (14/25) respectively which were higher than in the NERD group (21.4％ (6/28),14.3％ (4/28) and 35.7％ (10/28)).Conclusion MII-pH monitoring can detect more reflux events.Acid reflux plays an important role in GERD.The detective rate of GERD will be elevated when combined with MII-pH monitoring in the diagnosis.MII-pH monitoring has a distinct advantage in diagnosing GERD.

Objective To investigate the standardized treatment of 33 children with thalassemia and their family financial burden registered in Bao'an district, Shenzhen city, and to provide basic information for formulating health policy for the government. Methods In 2009, preliminary investigations on 39 registered families with thalassemia children were conducted by telephone, and a household survey was made to collect treatment and economic status by questionnaire on 33 children. Results Among 33 cases of thalassemia children, 21 cases(63.7%) were severe anemia, 5 cases( 15.1%) in need of care or special care, and 25 cases(75.8%) were difficult or unable to maintain standardized treatment. The average family monthly income and expenditure was (4060 ± 2002) and (4926 ± 2991) yuan, respectively. The average monthly treatment costs were (2665 ± 1872) yuan, and the average debt amounted to (64 600 ± 53 940) yuan. Fifteen families[60.0%(15/25)] would reduce the times of blood transfusions or iron transpirations when they encountered revenue deficiency. Conclusions The heavy economic burdens on families with children thalassemia result in inadequate or interrupted treatment on sick children and affect their survival and quality of life, which should be taken more attention and social care.
