Objective To explore the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type Ⅰ (SMARD1). Method The clinical data, results of gene detection, and follow-up information of a girl diagnosed with SMARD1 were retrospectively analyzed, and related literatures were reviewed. Results The girl was born by cesarean section due to oligohydramnios. After birth, she was transferred to neonatology department for poor feeding and response, and diagnosed with neonatal sepsis, infectious shock, disseminated inravascular coagulation and atypical purulent meningitis. She was discharged after one month of treatment. However, at 2 months old, she presented contracture of ankle joint, abnormal liver function, and myocardial damage. At 6 months old, she had obvious reduced muscular tension and development retardation. At 8 months old, the SMA gene was detected and it was normal. At 9 months old, The panel gene of peripheral neuropathy was detected and found 2 heterozygosis mutations in IGHMBP2 gene, exon8 c.1061-2A>G and exon12 c.1708C>T, which came from her father and mother respectively. Locus of exon12 c.1708C>T has been reported to be associated with the disease, and the other is a shear mutation. The diagnosis of SMARD1 was confirmed by the clinical and gene detection. The girl, 2-year-old now, suffered with recurrent respiratory tract infections, but had no respiratory distress or no respiratory failure yet. Conclusion The clinical phenotype of SMARD1 is complex and diverse. This case is the first domestic case comfirmed by gene detection.

Objective To explore the protective effect and mechanism of gardenoside on the damage of dopaminergic neurons induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods Both neuron-enriched cultures and neuron-astrocyte cultures were pretreated with vehicle or gardenesides ( 10, 20 and 40 mg/L) for 30 min at 37℃. The culture media were subsequently renewed in order to remove gardenesides. LPS was then added into all culture media at a final concentration of 10 mg/L Twenty-four hours later, the culture media was collected to measure TNF-α, NO, IL-6, GDNF and MMP-9; the cells were collected to count the number of cells labeled with an antibody against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and to assess the expression of TH mRNA using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results Gardeneside didn't promote the survival of dopaminergic neurons in neuron-enriched culture, but significantly increased the survival of dopaminergic neurons in neuron-astrocyte culture, compared with the vehicle group, the survival of dopaminergic neurons increased from 203.0%±17.4% to 256.7%±15.2% ( F = 17.22, P = 0.001 ) in 40 mg/L gardenaside group. The amount of TNF-α, NO and GDNF released from the neuron-astrocyte cultures after 24 h of addition of LPS was not changed significantly, while the expression of IL-6 and MMP-9 was increased significantly. In this study, the gardenoside concentration-dependently attenuated the LPSinduced increase of the expression of IL-6 and MMP-9, compared with the vehicle group, the expression of IL-6 and MMP-9 decreased to 67.2%±6.4% (F= 12.89,P =0.001 ), 77.3%±9.8% (F =8.27,P = 0.001 ) respectively in 40 mg/L gardenoside group. Conclusions Astrocytes play a neuroprotective role on dopaminergic neurons, which is decreased by LPS via inducing the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors. Gardeneside may protect dopaminergic neurons from LPS-induced injury in an astrocyte-dependent manner and it inhibits the production of proinflammatory factors instead of promoting the secretion of GDNF. From the point of view that a very low toxicity of gardenesides has been well documented, this report may reveal a new way of developing therapeutic interventions for inflammation-related diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Objective To explore the correlation between the cancer-related fatigue and uncertainty in illness among breast cancer inpatients. Methods Totally 90 patients with breast cancer were involved in the study by cancer fatigue scale (CRS) and Mishel's uncertainty in illness scale-adult (MUIS-A). The correlations were analyzed. Results Approximately 100.00%patients experienced fatigue during hospitalization. The total score of uncertainty in illness was 107.51 ± 21.26. There was a positive correlation between each fatigue dimension and uncertainty in illness (P<0.001). Conclusions Cancer-related fatigue is widespread among breast cancer inpatients and sense of uncertainty in illness of patients is at a moderate level. Nursing staff can help patients to reduce disease uncertainty and improve the life quality of patients by strengthening health education , providing comprehensive information support, fully mobilizing patients' social support system.

Objective To investigate the role of astrocyte in the lipopolysaccharide-induced damage of dopaminergic neurons. Methods After lipop01ysaccharide was applied to the third generation of rat astrocytes for 24 hours,supernatants of astrocytes culture were collected.The primary middle-brain dopaminergic neuron-enriched culture systems were obtained by neurobasal and ara-c,eoeulture system of both astrocytes and neurons was established by transwell inserts.The lipopolysaccharide was administered into neuron-enriched systems and coculture systems and the change of dopaminergic neurons was detected.At the same time,the supernatants of astrocytes were administered into the neuron-enriched systems,and the survival of dopaminergic neurons and the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA were observed. Results Lipopolysaccharide had a negative effect on the survival of dopaminergic neurons in a concentration-dependent manner.Both astrocytes and supernatants promoted the survival of dopaminergie neurons,and the former was better than the latter. In the preoccupation of existence of astrocytes,low-concentration lipopolysaccharide promoted the survival of dopaminergic neurons,while high-concentration,decreased.The change of the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA was similar to the survival of dopaminergic neurons.Conclusions Astrocytes play a protective role in the damage of dopaminergic neurons induced by lipopolysaccharide,and suitable activation of astrocytes would increase the protective effect while excessive activation of astroeytes would attenuate the effect.
