Objective To investigate the manifestations and genetic mechanisms of male sex reversal syndrome. Methods A 22 year old male patient with 46,XX karyotype was systemically examined and a Y specific sequence tagged site (STS),sY14,was chosen to detect sex determining region of Y (SRY) gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results This patient shows primary and secondary male sex characters while gonads are hypoplastic and malfunctional.The patent has 46,XX karyotype and SRY gene.Therefore,the patient is diagnosed as 46,XX male sex reversal syndrome. Conclusions Translocation of SRY can bring about 46,XX male sex reversal syndrome,whereas gonads of the patients are hypoplastic and malfunctional because of the absence of other genes on Y chromosome.SRY gene plays an important role in sex determination.

Objective:To investigate the effects of enteral nutrition assisted therapy in preventing postoperative anastomotic fistula in patients with esophageal cancer and its influence on immunity,healing process and nutritional recovery.Methods: The clinical data of 90 cases of patients with esophageal cancer who underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed.According to the mode of postoperative nutritional support,the patients were divided into group A(n=34),B(n=30)and C(n=26)three groups.Group A was treated by immune-enhancing enteral nutrition(Supportan)assisted therapy.Group B was treated with routine enternal nutrition(Nutrison Fibre)assisted therapy.Both of the two groups were treated with 25%,50% and 100% of the full dose on the 1st,2nd and 3rd-7th day after surgery.Later,the dose was reduced day by day till normal diet.Group C was treated by parenteral nutrition assisted therapy.Since the 1st day after surgery,patients in group C were intravenously injected with glucose,vita min and a mino acid mixed liquid calculated by 125.52 kJ/kg.8-10 d later,patients gradually transited to the normal diet.The incidence rates of anastomotic fistula,pulmonary infection and incision infection,wound healing time,total hospitalization time and initial exhaust time were observed and compared between the three groups.The changes of immune index [T lymphocytes and its subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD8+)],inflammatory factors[C reactive protein(CRP),IL-6]and nutrition indexes[serum total protein(TP),albumin(ALB)]before surgery,on the 1st and 8th day after surgery were recorded.Results: ①There were significant differences in the incidence rates of postoperative anastomotic fistula and pulmonary infection between the three groups(P<0.05),and the incidence rates in group C were significantly higher than those in the other two groups(P<0.05).②There were significant differences in wound healing time,total hospitalization time and initial exhaust time between the three groups(P<0.05)and that of group C group was longer than that of the other two groups(P<0.05).③On the 1st day after surgery,the levels of immune indexes such as CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and nutrition indexes such as TP and ALB in the three groups were significantly lower than those before surgery.CD8+ levels and levels of inflammatory indexes such as CRP and IL-6 were significantly higher than those before surgery(P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference between the groups(P>0.05).On the 8th day after surgery,the nutrition indexes in the three groups were still significantly lower than those before surgery.However,those in group A and B were significantly higher than those in group C(P<0.05);the inflammatory factors were still significantly higher than those before surgery(P<0.05)but those in group A and B were significantly lower than those in group C(P<0.05).Among the three groups,there was no statistical significance in comparing the immune indexes with those in group A(P>0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ in the other two groups were lower than those before surgery while CD8+ level was higher than that before surgery(P<0.05).Conclusion: To apply enteral nutrition assisted therapy in patients with esophageal cancer after surgery can effectively improve the prognosis.It has positive effects on shortening the healing process,improving the immune function and improving the nutritional status.

Objective To investigate the expression, relationship, significance of cyclooxygenase_2 (COX-2) and malonic dialdehyde (MDA) after cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury and provide basis of treatment. Methods The focal cerebral ischemic-reperfusion model was established with thread embolish of middle cerebral artery. Western blotting, barhituric acid method and neurological evaluation were used to examine the expression of COX-2, MDA in cortex and the changes of neurological function;TTC staining was used to observe the changes of cerebral infarction volume. Results COX-2 prorein expression was correclated well with the MDA(r=0.910,P＜0.01). The content of COX-2 and MDA was very low in sham operation group, they were increased significantly at I2h/R6h model group, with the increase of reperfusion time,they remarkably reached its peak at I2h/R24h,they were slightly lower at I2h/R48h, but still maintained at a high level;Compared with model group, in tetramethylpyrazine(TMP) treatment group, the content of MDA and cerebral infarction volume were markedly decreased(P＜0.01). Conclusion The expression of COX-2 and MDA increases in cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury.It indicates they may play an important role in the mechanisms of cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury;TMP has neuroprotective effect.

Schistosomiasis hematobia is one major human schistosomiasis. The disease is endemic in Africa and Mediterra-nean region,and is the main cause of urogenital diseases. Although only Schistosoma japonicum is spreading across the Main-land China,now more schistosomiasis hematobia cases are reported among aid projects and migrant workers to Africa,with the economy development and the increasing degree of foreign exchanges. Meanwhile,the relevant clinical data of schistosomiasis hematobia are rare in China. This article reviews the clinical manifestations and progress in diagnosis and treatment of the dis-ease.

Objective To clarify protective effect of the application of Ginkgo-damole in elderly patients with hypertension in total hip arthroplasty.Methods From January 2012 to December 2013,67 elderly patients with hypertension which should take total hip arthroplasty were divided into observation group and control group.Ginkgo-damole were only used in observation group during the operation.The anesthetic effect and the change of systolic blood pressure(SBP)diastolic blood pressure(DBP),heart rate(HR)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)were observed,postoperative recovery time of consciousness were recorded. Results The level of SBP,DBP,MAP and HR in both group were significantly difference when compared with before anesthesia(P<0.05 ).At the T2-4 time point,the level of SBP,DBP,MAP in observation group were significantly higher than that of control group,the level of HR was significantly lower than the control group,there had significant difference(P<0.05).At the T5 time point,the level of SBP, DBP,MAP and HR in observation group were significantly lower than of control group,there had significant difference between two groups(P<0.05 ).The postoperative recovery time in observation group was(10.41 ±2.35)min,which was lower than that in control group(15.63 ±2.42)min,there had significant difference between two groups(P<0.05 ).Conclusion Ginkgo-damole can effectively relieve the stress reactions caused by anesthesia and total hip arthroplasty,it has good protective effect on elderly patients with hypertension.
