Individual dose monitoring and registry for radiation workers plays a significant role in ionizing radiation protection and occupational health management. Since the nationwide implementation of monitoring from the 1980s, individual dose monitoring for radiation workers in China has been going on nearly 30 years, which is of significance in radiation protection optimization, and occupational health and protection for radiation workers. In order to improve individual dose monitoring and registry, to prevent and control occupational radiation diseases, and to help build "Healthy China" program, this paper presents the evolution of individual dose monitoring and registry in China, discusses the key points and difficulties faced, and proposes suggestions.

Objective　To summarize the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of mitochondrial combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 1 (COXPD1), and to improve the clinicians' awareness of this mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. Methods　The clinical characteristics, physical examination, laboratory examination and other data of a child with COXPD1 were analyzed retrospectively. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical whole exon sequencing and high-precision mitochondrial genome full-length PLUS gene detection, and the phenotype and genotype were analyzed by reviewing relevant literature. Results　A one-year and five-month-old boy mainly presented with hyperlactacidemia and abnormal liver function. Clinical whole exon sequencing showed that the child had homozygous variation of c. 688G>A(p.G230S) in the GFM1 gene. Sanger sequencing verified that the variation was respectively inherited from the parents of the child (both were heterozygous) with the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The high-precision mitochondrial genome full-length PLUS detection also did not find pathogenic mutations related to clinical phenotypes. The child was diagnosed with COXPD1. After "cocktail" therapy and liver protection therapy, the patient's condition improved. Conclusions　The phenotype of COXPD1 is complicated and variable, mainly liver type and brain type. The mutation of GFM1 gene affects mitochondrial translation system function, and early gene detection is helpful for definite diagnosis.

Lysimachiae Herba and Desmodii Styracifolii Herba are common traditional Chinese medicines for treating lithiasis. Both of them have efficacies of clearing heat, diuresis and eliminating calculi. However, there are some differences in their clinic applications. The former is mainly used to treat hepatolithiasis, gallstones, jaundice, stranguria and gout; Whereas the latter is mainly used to treat urinary calculus. In this paper, the pharmacological effects of Lysimachiae Herba and Desmodii Styracifolii Herba on removing calculus, choleresis, anti-inflammation and oxidation resistance were compared and analyzed based on document retrieval. In conclusion, both of them show the preventive and therapeutic effects on kidney stones and gallstones. Particularly, Desmodii Styracifolii Herba has a better effect in treating the kidney stones, while Lysimachiae Herba has a better effect in treating cholesterol gallstones.

Objective To investigate the association of HLA DRB1 alleles with gastric carcinoma and H. pylori infection. Methods HLA DRB1 alleles polymorphism in 63 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and 136 normal controls were tested with the polymerase chain reaction/sequence specific primer(PCR/SSP) technique. The status of H. pylori infection was determined by histology of gastric biopsy specimens and /or by ELISA. Results Both HLA DRB1 0901 and HLA DRB1 12 were positively associated, and HLA DRB1 15 was negatively associated with gastric adenocarcinoma, but no significant associations were found between patients with and without above HLA DRB1 alleles with regard to patients' age at presentation, sex ratio, tumor site (distal vs proximal), TNM staging, histological grading of tumor or status of H. pylori infection. Conclusions Our results suggest that HLA DRB1 0901, DRB1 12 and DRB1 15 are associated with gastric adenocarcinoma, but are not associated with the clinical features of gastric adenocarcinoma and the status of H. pylori infection.

Objective To investigate the genetic susceptibility of HLA DRB1, DQB1 alleles to colorectal neoplasm in Hubei Han Chinese. Methods 54 patients with colorectal neoplasm and 136 healthy controls were examined for HLA DRB1 and HLA DQB1 genotypes, which were typed by using polymerase chain reaction/sequence specific primer (PCR/SSP) technique and allele sequence analysis.SAS(6.12 for win) was used for statistics. Results Compared with the control, the allele frequency (AF) of HLA DRB1*0901 (0.2315 vs 0.1397, P =0.033) and DRB1*080X(0.009 3 vs 0.080 9, P =7.11?10 -3 ) was significantly increased or decreased, respectively, in colorectal neoplasm of Hubei Han Chinese. And there was not significantly different between the patients with the control in the AF of HLA DQB1 alleles. Conclusion The results indicate that HLA DRB1*0901 allele is the positive association to , but DRB1*080X is the negative association to the patients of colorectal neoplasm among Hubei Han Chinese. The nucleotide sequences of these two alleles were identified by allele sequence analysis, approach to the corresponded allele sequence(exon 2)of genbank.There is not association HLA DQB1 alleles with the patients.

Objective To make an inquiry into how to reconstruct a lifelike ear, and which is one of the most thorny problem in plastic surgery. Methods The operation was divided into two stages: the first stage was that an expander was put into a patient's opisthotic subscutaneous region and lobe of the ear was transposed or laid aside; the second stage was that the expander was taken off by a 2.5～3.0 ㎝ incision at the top or bottom of the expanded flap. The reniform incision except the preauriclar pedical part which was 0.5～0.6 ㎝ away from the expander edge was slit until the deep fascia and dissected forword at the same layer in order to form a "bag-shape" flap. Then, an auricle model was put and fixed and aspirating tube was inserted in the "bag". The back of the reconstructive ear was repaired with the full thickness graft. Results It made operating procedure simple, negative pressure plasty looked good, the blood circuit of flap was increased and occurrence rate of complication reduced. The operation had been performed on 18 patients with a satisfactory results. Conclusion The success rate of the procedure is higher and the shape of the reconstructed ear is more lifelike than that of the traditional one.

Objective To explore the role of Tbx3 gene in the occurrence and development of breast cancer. Methods 44 cases of the fresh breast carcinoma tissues and peritumor tissues were collected individually, the gene expression of Tbx3 was detected by RT PCR and the relationship between the changes of Tbx3 gene expression and the related clinicopathological factors of breast carcinoma was investigated. Results Obviously, the expression level of Tbx3 gene in breast carcinoma tissues was higher than that in the peritumor tissues. Furthermore, Tbx3 gene expression level in breast carcinoma tissues was not associated with the tumor size and ages of patients. However, the histological grading of breast carcinoma, tumor infiltrating degree, TNM stagings, and axillary lymph node metastasis were positively correlated with the expression level of Tbx3 gene. Conclusion Tbx3 gene with high expression may promote the occurrence and development of breast cancer and it is also likely a symbol of crucial changes in the development of breast cancer
