Objective To explore the change in cardiac function in patients with idiopathic frequent premature ventricular contraction(PVC) after radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA) and drug control by ultrasound Doppler and noninvasive hemodynamic detection technique.Methods Forty-eight patients with idiopathic frequent PVC were selected as the test group with a total of(16 391.03±10 873.01)beats per day.Another 55 healthy subjects were selected as the control group.Heart ultrasound Doppler and noninvasive hemodynamic detection technique were used in the two groups.Twenty-five patients were selected from the PVC group to receive RFCA,while noninvasive hemodynamic detection technique was adopted 3 days after operation.Results by ultrasound Doppler and noninvasive hemodynamic detection technique were compared between the two groups before and after operation.Results There was no significant difference in left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end-diastolic dimension(LVEDD),left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD),left atrial diameter(LA)and the ratios of the peak mitral flow velocity in early diastole (E) to the peak atrial kick velocity (A) between the two groups.HI,SI,CI and C in PVC group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.01),but WA,O,WA/C and O/C were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01).HI,SI,CI and C obviously increased 3 days after operation(P<0.01),but WA,O,WA/C and O/C significantly decreased (P<0.01).Conclusion The cardiac functio of idiopathic PVC patients in the early stage may have been damaged,and RECA can reverse or delay the damaged cardiac function due to frequent PVC.

Objective To explore the relationship between cognitive fusion and the state of anxiety and depression of perinatal women and to provide empirical evidences for acceptance and commitment therapy in mental treatment of anxiety and depression in perinatal women.Methods 309 perinatal women collected by cluster random sampling were assessed with self-made general information questionnaire,Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS),Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ) in predelivcry period and 3-7 days after childbirth respectively.Results (1) CFQ scores in the predelivery or postpartum anxiety group ((32.18±10.78),(31.54±10.30))were higher than that in the normal group((21.49±9.56),(20.84±9.82)),and the difference was statistically significant (t=-8.26,-8.22;all P=0.000);CFQ scores in the predelivery or postpartum depression group ((26.74 ±11.76),(26.84 ± 12.11)) were higher than that in the normal group((23.06± 10.33),(21.79±9.90)),and the difference was statistically significant(t=-2.76,-3.71;P=0.006,0.000).(2)It was found that the predelivery or postpartum CFQ scores were positively associated with the SAS scores of predelivery periods and postpartum periods respectively(r=0.51,0.45,0.50,0.55;P=0.000);the predelivery or postpartum CFQ scores were positively associated with the SDS scores of predelive1y periods and postpartum periods respectively (r =0.26,0.31,0.21,0.38;P =0.000).(3) Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were then conducted.The predelivery CFQ had a significant effect on postpartum SAS(△R 2=0.02,P=0.006)and postpartum SDS respectively(△R 2=0.02,P=0.006),and the regression equations were statistically significant.Conclusion A function to predict the occurrence of matemal postpartum anxiety and depression is obtained from the cognitive fusion which is attributed to the risk of maternal postpartum anxiety and depression.

Objective To study port-externalized tissue expansion technique and to provide a safe,simple and effective skin tissue expansion for extensive skin lesion reconstruction.Methods A lot of 247 patients with extensive skin lesion were chosen for the study.400-1000 ml tissue expanders were used for overexpansion and repeated expansion.Expanders were inserted into subcutaneous pockets through mini-invasive incisions and intermittent injection was carried out 4 days after first stage operation.After expansion finished,expanded skin flaps were transplanted for skin lesion reconstruction.During inflation period,complications and expander failures were observed.Results In 741 expanders of 247 patients,complication rate was 16.5 ％ with total 122 cases of complications.Expansion success rate was 98.9 ％ with 8 expander failures.Expanders were inflated successfully between 64-113 days,with average 92.7 days.The inflated saline volume was 2.38 times of marked expander capacity.In this group of 733 expanded skin flaps,721 flaps were well survived with 98.4％ success rate.276 expanded flaps of 116 patients were followed up for one to five years post-operation.The width of incision scar was between 0.3-1.2 mm.Conclusions The port-externalized overexpansion with giant expanders is a safe,simple and feasible technique,which is worthy of further clinical application.

Objective To test and eva1uate the abi1ity of three potential chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) barcoding sequences;To find new methods to identify the species of gardenia. Methods Three cpDNA sequences were amplified and sequenced by universal primers of matK, rbcL and psbA. By comparing PCR amplification efficiency, length, intra-and inter-specific divergence, and barcoding gap, BLAST and DNA MAN were used to evaluate these loci. Results The amplification efficiency of 5 samples from 3 gardenia species was 100%. Analysis of the intra-and inter-specific divergence of matK among the sequences showed that barcoding gap was superior to psbA and rbcL, with higher identification efficiency. Conclusion Gardenia jasminoides Ellis can be better identified by matK sequence.

Objective To investigate the effects of intervertebral bridging ossifications in patients of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) on bone fracture healing.Methods A total of 170 patients of thoracolumbar vertebral endplate fracture who were admitted into our hospital were selected.Divided these patients into the observation group,namely 60 patients with nonunion of vertebral endplate after 3 months of conservative treatment,and the control group, including 110 patients with well healed vertebra after 3 months of conservative treatment.Compared the distribution of intervertebral bridging ossifications of the two groups 3 weeks after injury.Results The incidence of bridging ossification at levels of T9 to T10,T10to T11,T11to T12 in the observation group were significantly higher than that in the control group.And it showed a significantly higher incidence of bridging ossification at the second proximal intervertebral segment in the observation group than that of the control group.There was a significantly greater sagittal wedge angle in the observation group compared with the control group.Conclusion Conservative treatment may increase the risk of nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures when there is a bridging ossification at the second proximal intervertebral level or the sagittal wedge angle was greater than 14.2°in a fresh osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.It should be a careful choose whether to take conservative treatment or surgical intervention.

OBJECTIVE: To carry out genetic testing for an abortus suspected with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS). METHODS: History of gestation and the family was taken. Combined with prenatal ultrasonography and the phenotype of the abortus, a diagnosis was made for the proband. Fetal tissue and peripheral blood samples of its parents were collected for the extraction of genomic DNA. Whole exome sequencing was carried out to detect mutations related to the phenotype. Suspected mutations were verified in the parents through Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: Prenatal ultrasound found that the forearms and hands of the fetus were anomalous, in addition with poorly formed vermis cerebellum, slight micrognathia, and increased echo of bilateral renal parenchyma. Examination of the abortus has noted upper limb and facial malformations. Whole exome sequencing revealed that the fetus carried a heterozygous c.2118delG (p.Lys706fs) frameshift mutation of the NIPBL gene. The same mutation was not found in either parent. CONCLUSION The heterozygous c.2118delG (p.Lys706fs) frameshift mutation of the NIPBL gene probably underlies the CdLS in the fetus. Above finding has provided a basis for the genetic counseling for the family.

OBJECTIVE: To diagnose a fetus with Papillorenal syndrome by prenatal ultrasonography and genetic testing, and to correlate its genotype with phenotype. METHODS: Ultrasound finding of the fetus was reviewed. Muscle sample of the abortus was taken, and genetic variant related to the clinical phenotype was screened by whole exome sequencing (WES). Suspected pathogenic variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: Prenatal ultrasound revealed severe dysplasia of the fetal kidneys and oligohydramnios. WES revealed that the fetus has carried a c.736G>T (p.Glu246Ter) nonsense variant of the PAX2 gene, which was unreported previously. The result of Sanger sequencing was consistent with that of WES. Both parents of the fetus were of the wild-type, suggesting a de novo origin of the fetal variant. CONCLUSION The novel heterozygous c.736G>T (p.Glu246Ter) variant of the PAX2 gene probably underlay the Papillorenal syndrome in the fetus. Above finding has provided a basis for genetic counseling and clinical decision-making.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for fetus with short limbs detected by prenatal ultrasonography. METHODS: Results of clinical imaging of the fetus was collected. Amniotic fluid sample was collected through amniocentesis for the extraction of fetal DNA. Whole exome sequencing was carried out to detect variants related to the clinical phenotypes. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: Prenatal ultrasound showed that the fetus had short limbs but no other abnormality. Whole exome sequencing has identified that the fetus carried two heterozygous pathogenic variants c.484G>T and c.1436dupA of the SLC26A2 gene, for which its mother and father were heterozygous carriers, respectively. CONCLUSION The fetus was diagnosed with atelosteogenesis type 2 by combined prenatal ultrasonography and whole exome sequencing, which may be attributed to the compound heterozygous variants of the SLC26A2 gene. Above findings provided evidence for the diagnosis of the fetus and genetic counseling.
