Objective: To compare the therapeutic effect of aspirin and clopidogrel on coronary heart disease. Methods: From June 2016 to July 2017, 186 patients with coronary heart disease in the Third People's Hospital of Yuyao were divided into control group and observation group according to different treatment methods, with 93 cases in each group.Both two groups were treated with routine symptomatic therapy, the control group was given aspirin and the observation group was given clopidogrel.Biochemical indicators, cardiac function and adverse events were observed. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups before treatment(all P>0.05). The platelet aggregation rate and activation time of partial thrombin of the observation group were (38.11±2.15)% and (48.21±3.50)s, respectively, which were better than those of the control group(t=48.819, 18.752, all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in prothrombin activity and prothrombin time between the two groups(all P>0.05). The probability of grade Ⅳ and grade Ⅰ in the observation group was 8.60% and 38.71%, respectively, which was significantly different from those in the control group(χ²=5.243, 6.541, all P<0.05). The incidence rate of adverse events in the observation group(1.08%) was lower than that in the control group(7.53%), and the difference was statistically significant(χ²=4.072, P<0.05). Conclusion Clopidogrel is more effective than aspirin in the treatment of coronary heart disease.It can significantly improve the coagulation function, cardiac function, and it is safe and with less adverse reactions.

Objective To explore the operative technique and clinical outcomes of tiled flaps from foot with bone graft for reconstruction of thumb defects.Methods From January, 2008 to December, 2013, 8 cases of thumb defects with varying degrees were treated with tiled flaps from foot and iliac bone graft.Among them, 4 cases caused by emergency trauma, the other 4 cases was old defect after trauma, including 1 case of double thumb defect that caused by electrical burn.The thumb defects was caterorized as type Ⅰ A in 1 case, type Ⅰ B in 2 cases, type Ⅱ A in 1 case, type ⅡB in 2 cases and type ⅢA in 2 cases.Five cases in which were treated with free wrap-around flap from the ipsilateral big toe and tibial lateral-flap from the opposite second toe, 3 cases using free wrap-around flap with series connection of dorsal artery.Results All 8 reconstructed thumbs were survived.The wound healed primarily.In 1 case, the unhealed wound was healing after dressing where skin grafts in the donor sites of the foot were partial necrosis.Postoperative follow-up ranged from 6 to 72 months, the appearance of the thumb was satisfying when was compared with normal thumb.Thumb nail grew well, the blood supply was good, and sensory recovery from S2 to S4.According to the criteria issued by the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association for functional assessment of reconstucted thumb and fingers, 5 were excellent and 3 were good.The donor site skin graft had no scar contracture and no ulceration.There was no apparent impairment on the foot function.Conclusion Combined tiled flaps from foot and iliac bone graft for reconstruction of thumb is a good method, which can recover the appearance of thumb without sacrificing toes of the donor foot.

OBJECTIVETo analyze partial deletion of the long arm of X chromosome in a family and explore the mechanism underlying its phenotypes.

METHODSG-banding technique was employed to analyze the karyotypes of the subjects, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to analyze their X chromosomes with Xpter, Xqter and WCPX probes.

RESULTSThe karyotypes of the proband, her mother and her fetus were all 46,X,del(X)(q24). Combined FISH and karyotyping analysis suggested that the proband and her fetus both carried a Xq24q27.3 deletion.

CONCLUSIONThe Xq24q27.3 deletion carried by the family is closely related with premature ovarian failure but not with short stature, gonadal dysgenesis and primary amenorrhea.

BACKGROUNDTo evaluate the influence of assays with primer labeled with fluorochrome (Cy5) and dUTP labeled with Cy5 on the signal intensity of the chip for detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) gene polymorphism.

METHODSThe P-region and pre-C/C-region of HBV gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with Cy5 labeled primer or Cy5 labeled dUTP. The amplicons of the two assays were hybridized with chips, scanned and analyzed by computer software for the detection of HBV gene polymorphism.

RESULTSThe signal intensity of assay with Cy5 labeled dUTP was slightly higher than that of assay with Cy5 labeled primer, but non?specific signal intensity of the assay with Cy5 labeled dUTP was higher. The result of 42 samples showed that there was no significant difference between the two assays, and that both had a good repeatability and CV value (15%-20%).

CONCLUSIONSThe assay with Cy5 labeled primer may replace the assay with Cy5 labeled dUTP as a routine method to detect HBV gene polymorphism, and it is simpler and cheaper.

Objective To investigate the effect of Dexmedetomidine on postoperative impairment of cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery under wireless analgesia.Methods Eighty elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery in our hospital from May 2017 to April 2018 were randomly divided into the S group(n=40)receiving Sufentanil under wireless analgesia,and the DS group receiving Dexmedetomidine as add-on to the therapy for S group.The mini-mental state examination(MMSE) score,postoperative pain degree,and serum levels of interleukin(IL)-1,IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,as well as adverse reactions were compared between the two groups,preoperatively and postoperatively.Results MMSE score was higher in the DS group than in the S group at 1 and 3 days after operation[(26.85±1.20)vs.(26.33±1.33),(26.65± 1.16)vs.(26.00± 1.29),t =1.795 and 2.370,P =0.038 and 0.010].Pain visual analog scale(VAS)score was lower in the DS group than in the S group at 6 and 12 hours after operation[(4.32±0.64)vs.(4.65±0.77),(4.01±0.45)vs.(4.23±0.59),t=2.138 and 1.875,P=0.018 and 0.032,respectively].At 1 and 3 days after operation,IL-1,IL-6 and TNF-α levels were higher in SD group than in S group (P ＜ 0.05).But,at 5 and 7 days after operation,there was no significant difference in the expression levels of IL-1,IL-6 and TNF between the two groups (P ＞0.05).The incidence of nausea was lower in DS group than in S group(2.5％ vs.15.0％,x2 =3.914,P=0.048),while the incidence of bradycardia was higher in the DS group than in the S group(17.5％ vs.2.5 ％,x2 =5.000,P =0.025).Conclusions Dexmedetomidine not only effectively alleviates the postoperative pain and improves cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic management under wireless analgesia,but also reduces postoperative inflammatory levels.

OBJECTIVE: To apply combined non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), chromosomal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray for the screening and prenatal diagnosis of a fetus with supernumerary small marker chromosome (sSMC). METHODS: Standard NIFTY and full gene NIFTY kits were applied to detect free DNA (cfDNA) isolated from peripheral blood sample of a pregnancy woman. Amniocentesis was carried out for the woman for an abnormal NIPT result. G-banded karyotyping and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array) were used to determine the karyotype and copy number variants in the fetus. The result was validated with a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay. RESULTS: Both the standard NIFTY and full gene NIFTY indicated abnormal dup(chr12:707 334-33 308 759), for which the T score value of copy number anomaly in full gene NIFTY is 6.823, which is higher than the standard NIFTY's T-score value of 3.9535. The two NIFTY results were both above the normal threshold ± 3. Conventional G-banding analysis of amniocytes showed that the fetus has a karyotype of 47,XY,+mar. SNP-array delineated duplication of 12p (arr [hg19]12p13.33p11.1 (173 786_34 385 641)× 4, which was verified by FISH. Based on the above results, the fetus was diagnosed as a novel case of Pallister-Killian syndrome. CONCLUSION NIPT has a certain value for the prenatal detection of PKS. Combined use of multiple techniques can facilitate delineation of the source of sSMC.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology of a neonate with suggestive features of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS). METHODS: Chromosome karyotyping, copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and whole exome sequencing (WES) were carried out for the child. Meanwhile, peripheral venous blood samples were taken from his parents for verifying the suspected pathogenic variants detected in the child. RESULTS: The child has exhibited developmental delay, microcephaly, ptosis, micrognathia, and low ear setting, and was suspected as CdLS. No abnormality was found by karyotyping and CNV-seq analysis. WES has detected 5 heterogeneous variants and 1 hemizygous variant on the X chromosome. Combining the genetic pattern and result of family verification, a hemizygous C.3500T>C (p.ile1167thr) of the SMC1A gene was predicted to underlay the clinical manifestations of the patient. This variant was not recorded in the dbSNP and gnomAD database. PolyPhen2, Provean, SIFT all predicted the variant to be harmful, and PhastCons conservative prediction is was a conservative mutation. ACMG variant classification standard evidence supports are PM2, PP2, and PP3. CONCLUSION The novel c.3500T>C (p.Ile1167Thr) missense mutation of the SMC1A gene probably underlay the genetic etiology of CdLS in this child. Above results has enriched the mutation spectrum of CdLS type II, and facilitated clinical counseling for this family.

Background: Arctic-like (AL) lineages of rabies viruses (RABVs) remains endemic in some Arctic and Asia countries. However, their evolutionary dynamics are largely unappreciated. Objectives: We attempted to estimate the evolutionary history, geographic origin and spread of the Arctic-related RABVs. Methods: Full length or partial sequences of the N and G genes were used to infer the evolutionary aspects of AL RABVs by Bayesian evolutionary analysis. Results: The most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) of the current Arctic and AL RABVs emerged in the 1830s and evolved independently after diversification. Population demographic analysis indicated that the viruses experienced gradual growth followed by a sudden decrease in its population size from the mid-1980s to approximately 2000.Genetic flow patterns among the regions reveal a high geographic correlation in AL RABVs transmission. Discrete phylogeography suggests that the geographic origin of the AL RABVs was in east Russia in approximately the 1830s. The ancestral AL RABV then diversified and immigrated to the countries in Northeast Asia, while the viruses in South Asia were dispersed to the neighboring regions from India. The N and G genes of RABVs in both clades sustained high levels of purifying selection, and the positive selection sites were mainly found on the C-terminus of the G gene. Conclusions The current AL RABVs circulating in South and North Asia evolved and dispersed independently.
