Abstract: Objective　To report the clinical characteristics and genetic test results of two children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and to provide reference for the comprehensive diagnosis-treatment and follow-up plans of NF1 patients based on the existing diagnosis and treatment progress of NF1. Methods　Two children with NF1 admitted to the Department of Children's Medicine, Haikou people's Hospital in May and June 2022 were selected to analyze the clinical data of their clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, genetic test results, diagnosis and treatment and follow-up retrospectively. Results　Two children had typical clinical manifestations, such as café-au-lait spots, axillary freckles, intraocular iris hamartoma. Venous blood was collected from case 1 and his parents for NF gene test, and a new mutation of c.4084C>T in the NF1 gene was found, and their parents did not have the pathogenic gene; the venous blood of the children in case 2 was tested for whole-exome gene analysis, and a heterozygous nonsense variant c.910C>T:p.R304 on the NF1 gene was found, , which was verified by Sanger sequencing to be inherited from his mother, his mother has café-au-lait spots and brain glioma, and has undergone surgery to remove the brain glioma, but has not undergone chemoradiotherapy or targeted therapy. No neurological malignancies were detected in either of the two children at follow-up until July 2022. Conclusions　The clinical manifestations of NF1 are relatively typical, genetic testing is conducive to determine its classification, and regular follow-up review can help to detect and treat malignant tumors early, thus improving the patient's quality of life.

AIM: Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, to inspect v sual cortex physical reactions stimulated by rotating grating, and to its components. METHODS: On 1.5T MR scanner, GRE-EPI imaging sequence was carried on 9 h discover ealthy volunteers, the visual cortex response data were processed after delinearation by SPM99.RESULTS: Different components of rotating grating excited different areas of the visual cortex. Dramatic response in the central part of the occipital lobe, which was related to white light stimuli, located at primary visual cortex. Response area in bilateral Broadaman 19 areas was related to vision-motion function. And weak response area in the central part of the occipital lobe was related to shape perception.CONCLUSION: Rotating grating conclude plenty of visual information, and it excites different areas of the optic center as a stimuli. fMRI is a valuable equipment to study the physiology of visual cortex.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effectiveness of Qilin Pills combined with sertraline in the treatment of secondary non-consolidated kidney qi premature ejaculation (PE).

METHODSA total of 120 patients with secondary non-consolidated kidney qi PE were randomly assigned to groups A (aged [35.5 ± 5.4] yr), B (aged [36.2 ± 5.7] yr), and C (aged [35.2 ± 5.3] yr) in the ratio of 1:1:1 to receive Qilin Pills (once 6 g, bid), sertraline (once 50 mg, qd), and Qilin Pills plus sertraline, respectively, all for 4 weeks. The intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) and PE diagnostic tool (PEDT) scores were obtained before and after medication and at 1 month after drug withdrawal, and comparative analyses were made among the three groups of patients.

RESULTSThe IELT was dramatically prolonged in groups A, B, and C after treatment ([3.23 ± 1.84], [3.87 ± 2.43], and [5.92 ± 3.11] min) and at 1 month after drug withdrawal ([1.85 ± 1.27], [1.52 ± 1.06], and [ 4.26 ± 1.88 ] min) as compared with the baseline ([0.88 ± 0.45], [0.84 ± 0.47], and [0.85 ± 0.50] min) (P < 0.01), even longer in group C than in A and B (P < 0.01). The PEDT scores of the three groups were 5.1 ± 1.8, 4.9 ± 1.7, and 3.8 ± 1.2 after treatment and 8.2 ± 2.4, 8.1 ± 2.4, and 6.5 ± 2.1 at 1 month after drug withdrawal, significantly improved in comparison with 13.2 ± 3.2, 12.8 ± 3.1, and 13.1 ± 3.4 before treatment (P < 0.01), even more significantly in group C than in A and B (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONQilin Pills combined with sertraline has a definite efficacy in the treatment of secondary non-consolidated kidney qi PE and therefore deserves wide clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effects of Par-4 gene silence on hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis in alveolar epithelial cells. Method The alveolar epithelial cells A549 were cultured and exposed to hydrogen peroxide. The siRNA sequences targeted Par-4 gene was chemically synthesized and transfected to A549 cells with or without the exposure of hydrogen peroxide. The cells were divided into normal control groups, hydrogen peroxide-treated group(The cells were treated with 0. 1 mmol/L hydrogen peroxide), hydrogen peroxide and Par-4-siRNA-treated group(The cells were treated with 0. 1 mmol/L hydrogen peroxide after transfection of Par-4-siRNA), Non-specific DNA sequence transfection control group. The apoptosis of A549 cells was quantified by flow cytometry. The expression of Smac protein was detected by Western blot.Electrophoretic mobility shift assay was applied for evaluating the change of E2F1 DNA binding activity. Relative activity of Caspase-3 was detected by clolorimetric assay. Results The percent of apoptotic cells in hydrogen peroxide and Par-4-siRNA-treated group was (29.7 ± 2.3) %, which was significantly lower than that of hydrogen peroxide-treated group [(54.2 ± 4.1)%, q= 8.91, P ＜ 0.01)]. Par-4 siRNA could significantly suppress the increase of Smac protein, E2F1 DNA binding activity and caspase-3 activity induced by hydrogen peroxide in A549 cells. Conclusions Par-4 gene silence induced by siRNA might inhibit the apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells, which might be resulted from suppression of the up-regulation of Smac gene expression, E2F1 DNA binding activity and caspase-3 activity.

Since the information supplied by the paternity testing of alleged parents was less than that of standard triplet parentage testing,so the paternity index (PI) calculating methods of standard triplet parentage testing was not suitable for calculating the PI value of alleged parents.In order to establish a more precise method for calculating PI value of alleged parents with STR typing results,the first thing is to summarize the standard triplet PI calculating formulas according to the Essen Mller theory.These formulas are 1/p,1/2p,1/p+q,1/2p+2q.This article reports a new PI calculating method in case of paternity testing of alleged parents.Compared with other methods,the new method for calculating Y value either considering random man and random female or considering the alleged father(mother)and random female(man).
