Objective To report the clinical manifestation and gene mutation of congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) in two patients from one family. Methods The data of clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, and family history of two patients were collected. The peripheral blood of patients and their parents were collected. Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 1 (NTRK 1 ) gene was detected directly by Sanger method, the pathogenicity of the mutation in the gene was analyzed by bioinformatics. Results Both of patients were female and mainly suffered with reduplicated non-infectious fever, anhidrosis, insensitive to pain, and mental retardation. The proband had fracture many times after minor injury. The ninth exon of NTRK 1 genes in the proband and her younger sister were found to have heterozygous mutations, c. 851-33 T>A, as previously reported. Meanwhile, there was also found a new mutation, c. 1711 G>A (p.G 571 S), in thirteenth exon of NTRK 1 genes in these two patients. It was predicted to be a harmful mutation by bioinformatics and the mutation site is conservative. Their father and mother were found carrying the c. 851-33 T>A and c. 1711 G>A mutations respectively. Conclusion Both patients had typical clinical manifestations. And the newly discovered p.G 571 S mutation expands the mutation spectrum of NTRK 1 gene.

Objective To evaluate the effect of an Internet support program on uncertainty in illness in breast cancer patients after operation. Method One hundred and nineteen breast cancer patients after surgery who were discharged from Shanghai Cancer Hospital were assigned into the control group (63 cases) and the intervention group (56 cases). A 12-week Internet support program was offered to the patients in the intervention group, while the patients in the control group received the routine follow-up. Measurement of uncertainty in illness was taken at the sixth week and the twelfth week after the baseline survey. Results The total score of the uncertainty in illness as well as the factor scores of ambiguity and lack of information showed downward trend in both the intervention group and the control group, and the three indexes in the intervention group declined more rapidly than those in the control group. The scores of the three indexes in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group at the twelfth week. Conclusion The Internet support program which offers abundant information, multi-disciplinary cooperation and real-time interaction intervention is an effective approach in reducing uncertainty in illness for breast cancer survivors.

Objective To search a better novae biomaterial applied to guide bone regeneration for promoting the healing of acute bone trauma by the experimental study of Haversian remodeling.Method Circular bone defects of 5mm diameter were created in tibias and the corners of mandibles in 36 rabbits.The defects were covered with calcium alginate film (CAF) in the experimental group, collagen membrane (CM)and no membrane (blank) in the control groups respectively. Healing conditions were analyzed using gross inspection, and histological and immunohistochemical studies after 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks respectively.Results The experimental group appeared more and earlier Haversian remodeling with osteoinductive factors leading to better bone regeneration. The control groups showed more macrophages with CM absorbed slowly, weak and delayed Haversian remodeling, and less osteoinductive factors ( P < 0.05) in the early stage.Conclusions Calcium alginate film, as a relatively cheaper biomaterial, provided better effect than the collagen membrane on guided bone regeneration, because of its better Haversian remodeling and more content of osteoinductive factors shown in this experiment.

Objective To detect circulating CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells (Treg) and Toll-like receptor(TLR)2 and TLR4 expression on the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis (LC), and to explore the correlation between them. Methods PBMCs isolated from 30 LC patients, 21 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients and 16 normal controls(NC) were stained with fluorescent labeling anti-TLR2-PE, anti-TLR4-APC, anti-CD14-FITC monoclonal antibodies and anti-CD4-PerCP, anti-CD25-FITC, anti-CD127-PE. Samples were detected by flow cytometry. Statistic analysis be-tween groups was performed by Kruskal-Wallis H test. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation of Treg and TLR2, TLR4. Results The expression of TLR2 and TLR4 were significantly up-reg-ulated in patients with LC than those in the controls (TLR2 : 200.3 ± 96.8 vs 94.1 ± 17.6, P < 0.05 ; TLR4:32.1 ±7.2 vs 17.8 ±3.9, P<0.05). The expression of TLR4 was significantly increased in pa-tients with LC than those in patients with CHB (TLR4 : 32. 1 ± 7.2 vs 25.2 ± 8.3, P < 0.05), but there were no differences of TLR2 expression between LC and CHB(200.3 ± 96.8 vs 214.0 ± 72.6, P > 0.05). Treg/CD4+ T cells were 5.07% ±1.43%, 5.88% ±1.66%, 4.21% ±1.24% in patients with LC, CHB and NC, respectively. Treg/CD4+ T cells were significantly increased in patients with CHB than those in pa-tients with NC(P<0. 05) and LC(P <0.05), but there were no differences between LC and NC(P > 0.05). TLR4 expression and Treg were positive correlation (r = 0. 469, P = 0. 032) and TLB2 expression were negative correlation in patients with LC (r = -0.428, P = 0.021). Conclusion The expression of TLR2 and TLR4 were up-regulated on PBMCs in patients with LC. It seems to be expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in-volved in the pathogenesis of LC.
