Objective To investigate the relationship between cerebral infarction (CI) and the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of rs11833579G/A and rs4980959C/A of NINJ2 gene in Han population of the Western Guangdong province in China. Methods Genotype and allele frequency of rs11833579G/A and rs4980959C/A were analyzed in 278 cerebral infarction patients and 120 healthy controls. Results There was insignificant difference in frequencies of genotypes and allele in two polymorphisms (rs11833579 G/A and rs4980959C/A) of NINJ2 gene between CI and control groups (P>0.05). AA genotype frequency of rs4980959C/A was more in patients with small-artery occlusion (SAA) than in the control group (18.3% vs 9.2%, P=0.041), while the A allele frequency was more in the patients with SAA than in the control group (35.4% vs 46.1%, P=0.019). Logistic regression analysis indicated that AA genotypes of rs4980959C/A was a risk factor for SAA over G allele carriers (OR=4.012, 95%CI: 1.209~14.939, P=0.027). Conclusion NINJ2 gene 5' upstream untranslated region SNPrs11833579G/ A polymorphism does not associate with the risk of ischemic stroke. NINJ2 gene 5' upstream untranslated region SNPrs4980959C/ AA allele is a risk factor for SAA, AA genotype is a susceptible genotype for SAA.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations, electroencephalographic characteristics and therapeutic effect of drugs in children with Jeavons syndrome. Methods The clinical and electroencephalographic characteristics and thera-peutic effect of drugs were analyzed in 4 children with Jeavons syndrome. Results Among the four children there were 3 female and 1 male. The age at the onset of the disease was from 1 to 6 years. The typical clinical manifestations of this disease were brief, fast and repeated eyelid myoclonia (EM) with or without absence seizure. The typical electroencephalography (EEG) in two patients showed 3-6 Hz generalized spike and waves and polyspikes burst, and the eye closure and intermittent photic stimu-lation helped to induce discharges and clinical events. The typictal EEG in the other two patients showed 3.0-3.5 Hz generalizedδslow wave rhythm burst. The drugs of choice for treatment was sodium valproate monotherapy in two cases, levetiracetam in one case, sodium valproate combined with levetiracetam in one case. During the follow-up, seizures were controlled in one case, decreased in frequency in two cases and were still frequent in one case. Conclusions Jeavons syndrome is one of the idiopathic and generalized epileptic syndromes and characterized by EM with or without absence seizure. Video EEG monitoring plays an important role in the diagnosis of this disease. Sodium valproate and levetiracetam were effective for this disease.

Purpose To investigate the clinical pathological features, pathological diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the non-Wilms’ renal tumors in children. Methods The clinical pathological data and immunohistochemical findings of 15 cases of non-Wilms’ renal tumors were retrospectively analyzed with review of the relevant literature. Results In 7/15 (46. 67%) cases of cystic nephroma ( CN) , microscopically the variable size of cysts were lined by a single layer flattened, cuboidal epithelia, separated by fi-broblastic stroma;in 4/15 (26. 67%) cases of rhabdoid tumor of kidney (RTK), histological characteristics were rhabdoid cells and cytoplasmic inclusions;in 2/15 (13. 33%) cases of clear cell sarcoma (CCSK), the classical pattern of histology demonstrated nests, cords of ovoid epithelioid or spindled clear cells separated by fibrovascular septa, which had a marked ’ chicken wire’ pattern of small blood vessels;in 1/15 (6. 67%) case of congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN), the tumor was mainly composed of spindle cells arranged in fascicular pattern, in which fetal renal tissue was seen;in 1/15 (6. 67%) case of granularity renal cell carcinoma, micro-scopically, the cancer cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm arranged in nests, cords and tubular pattern. Conclusions Although non-Wilms’ renal tumors is a small part of all kidney tumor, it is difficult to diagnose and distinguish from other tumors before opera-tion. The pathological diagnosis is the most reliable method for differential diagnosis of non-Wilms’ renal tumor.

Objective To study the kinetic expression level of chemokines (RANTESF) in the murine infection of vulvovaginal can-didiasis (VVC), and explore the function of chemokines in local immunity of VVC. Method Sixty-three female Kunming mice, at 8 ~ 10 weeks of age, were used in this study. All animals were divided into three groups. The content variation of RANTESF in blood and yaginal fluids and CFU of vaginal fluid in each separate group of mice were detected at days 2, 7, and 14 after infection. The first group was control group. The second group was infected only one time and the third group was infected twice. The results were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 statis-tical software. Results The content variation of RANTESF and CFU in vaginal fluid reached highest at days 7 in both the first and the sec-ond groups, as well as in the blood. There were no notable changes at days 2 and 14. The content variation in vaginal fluid or blood of the second group was higher than that in the first group after infection. Conclusion CMI, as a host defense mechanism, plays an important role in protecting against vulvovaginal candidiasis, especially in secondary infection. Local innate immunity is more important than systemic in-nate immunity for protection against vulvovaginal candidiasis. Cytokine about RANTES can promote innate immunity modulation; especially the local innate immunity modulation can promote the ehemotaxis of RANTES.

Objective To study the pathogenicity of ureaplasma urealytieum serotype 3 (UU3) with different concentration in the genital tract of the mice. Methods A total of 156 Kunming mice were divided into 4 groups randomly, including group A, B, C (48 mice in every experimental group) and control group.(12 mice in control group). UU3 at concentration of 1×107eopy/g (group A), 1×106copy/g (group B),1×105copy/g (group C) were inoculated into 48 mice in every experimental group intravaginal]y, in the mean time, culture medium of UU was given into 12 mice in control group. They were neeropsied at 1, 3,7, 14, 21, 35 days of postinoeulatien randomly, which included 8 mice of every experimental group and 2 mice of control group every time, and to detect UU3 expression from cervical secretions by FQ-PCR andobserving the pathogenicity rate in tissues of cervix, endometrium, fallopian tube by light microscope and calculate the morbidity rate. Results (1) The total positive rates of UU3 were 63% (30/48) in group A,50% (24/48) in group B, 17% (8/48) in group C, which showed a significant difference(P<0.01).And at 1,3,7,14,21,35 days of postinoculation, the positive rates of group A were 8/8,7/8,6/8,5/8,4/8 and 0,group B were 7/8,5/8,5/8,4/8,3/8 and 0,group C were 3/8,2/8,2/8,1/8,0 and 0;all mice in control group were zero. At all time points, there were statistical difference in the positive rate among three experimental groups only at 1 day (P<0.05 ). (2) In the positive mice, their UU3 quantity concentration at 1,3,7,14,21 days were 1.70×107, 8.26×106, 4.04×106, 2.86×106,and 2.41 x105 copy/g in group A; 3.75×106, 2.56×106 , 1.37×106, 6.72×105, and 1.12 x 105 copy/g in group B, and 1.45×105,1.07×105, 5.43×104, 4.68×103, and 0 copy/g in group C. There were statistical difference among experimental groups at all time points except 21 days (P<0.05). Comparing the concentration among all time points of every group, both group A and B showed a significant difference(P<0.05) ,group C didn't reach it( P>0.05). (3) The total pathogenicity rates of three groups were significant different at 7-35 days, which were 56% (18/32) in group A, 44% (14/32) in group B, 6% (2/32) in group C (P<0.01 ). And at 7,14,21,35 days of postineculation, the pathogenicity rates in group A were 5/8,5/8,4/8 and 4/8, group B were 4/8,4/8,3/8 and 3/8, group C were 1/8,0,1/8 and 0; all mice in control group were zero, which demonstrated significant difference only at 14 days (P<0.05), no other statistical difference were observed (P>0.05) . Conclusions The pathogenicity of UU3 varies with different concentration in genital tract of mice. When UU3 concentration is more than 1×106 copy/g, the susceptibility to infection was intensified significantly.

Objective To explore sleep quality and related psychological factors among young army cadres to provide theoretical basis for health interventions. Method A total of 1 100 young army cadres aged 18 to 34 were assessed with Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale by cluster random sampling. Based on CES-C scores, cadres were divided into two groups named depression group and non-depression group;850 sergeants were served as the control group. T test, chi-square test and multiple regressions were used in data analysis. Result Sleep problems were found in 13.5% of the cadres and 12.1% sergeants. General status of sleep quality of cadres was worse than sergeants' and norm's. Exercise less, physical disease and psychological problems were the risk factors. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that depression factors of SCL-90 had the most significantly predictive effect on sleep quality (r=0.552, Beta=0.387), followed by somatization (r=0.552, Beta=0.223), two factors could explain 32.7% of PSQI scores variation. Correlation analysis showed that depression is closely related to subjective sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep disorder and daytime dysfunction (all r>0.3). Cadres' depression (11.11 ± 6.62) was significantly lower than norm's (12.30 ± 10.39) and higher than sergeants'(8.11 ± 6.56). PSQI scores of depression group (6.05 ± 3.13) were significantly higher than non-depression group's (3.56 ± 2.69) and norm's (3.23 ± 3.12). Conclusion Depression is a major correlation factor of the sleep quality. Regular exercise, improvement of the physical and psychological health quality, and reducing depression are effective ways to improve sleep quality.
