Objective To study the 2244G→A, 2299 A→G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the 5' regulatory regions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in patients with Gram negative bacteria infection in Shenzhen locality, and to discuss the occurrence, course and prognosis of patients with sepsis. Method Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to detect the genotype of TLR4. After the whole blood DNA of patient was extracted and PCR was amplified, the products were 500bp and 599 bp, and were cut by endonuclease Mae Ⅱ and Sph Ⅰ respectively to determine the SNP 2244G→A and 2299 A→G in TLR4. These two kinds of allele frequencies were statistically calculated in all patients. In the meantime, the incidence of septic shock, average hospitalized days, cost and prognosis of all patients were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 16 software. ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups, and t -test and Sighed rank test were used for paired comparison. Results The 2299 and 2244 sites in the 5' regulatory regions of TLR4 gene of patients with Gram negative bacteria infection in Shenzhen locality had various degrees of changes in single nucleotide. Compared with the documented data from Chinese people in general, there was a significant difference in 2299A→G genotype frequency in residents of Shenzhen locality ( P < 0.05). But there were no statistically significant difference in mortality, incidence of septic shock, average days of ICU stay or ICU cost between TLR4 SNP positive and negative groups of patients. Conclusions There is a wide range of genetic variation in the 2299 and 2244 sites in the 5' regulatory regions of TLR4 among citizens of Shenzhen locality with unique distribution. The 2299A→G genotype frequency probably has differences in distribution and population. The pathogenesis and the prognostic factors of sepsis are complicated, whereas the gene polymorphism may be just one of the factors affecting the prognosis of patients with Gram negative bacteria infection.

8. Value of ultrasound in twin pregnancies during early trimmest
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2019;35(8):1229-1233
Objective:To explore the value of ultrasound in screening of twin pregnancies during early trimmest (11-13+6 weeks). Methods: Totally 196 twin pregnant women who received prenatal ultrasonography at 11-13+6 weeks were enrolled, among them the twins were classified as chorionic and amniotic. The fetal-rump length and nuchal translucency (NT) were measured, the fetal structures were examined systematically to detect structural abnormalities, and the pregnancy outcomes were followed up. Results: Among 196 twin pregnant women, dichorionic and diamniotic (DCDA) twins were found in 149 women, monochorionic and diamniotic (MCDA) twins were found in 43 women, while monochorionic and monoamniotic (MCMA) twins were observed in 4 women. Ultrasonography showed that 36 pregnant women had abnormal fetuses, including 30 DCDA twins, 4 MCDA twins and 2 MCMA twins. A total of 30 abnormal fetuses were detected in DCDA twins, all were one of the twins, including one with spine and lower limbs abnormally developed, one with neck water cyst, one of twins stopped developing in 25 cases and one of twins with thickened NT in 3 cases. A total of 6 abnormal fetuses were detected in MCDA twins, including one fetus without cardiac twins sequence, one of twins with neck water cyst in one case, one of the twins stopped developing and the other with neck water cyst in one case, and both twins stopped developing in one case. Among MCMA twins, encephalomeningocele was found in one of twins in one case, while conjoined twins were detected in one case. Conclusion: Ultrasound screening plays a very important role in diagnosing chorionic and amniotic, detecting fetal structural abnormalities and complications of twins during early trimmest.

Objective To explore the value of abnormal imaging findings on susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in delayed graft function (DGF). Methods The conventional MRI and SWI images of 26 cases with DGF and 20 cases with normal renal function of transplanted kidneys were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with cysts and angiomyolipomas were excluded. Normal structures of transplanted kidney were identified. If lesions of abnormal signal intensity were found in the transplanted kidney, the location, border and signal intensity compared to renal cortex would be analyzed. The differences in signal intensity between the abnormal signal lesions and normal renal cortex in the same SWI layer of DGF were compared by using independent-sample t test. The differences in positive detection rate of discovering the abnormal signal lesions in DGF between conventional MRI and SWI were compared by using McNemar test. Results Of the 26 cases with DGF, one case was found to exhibit abnormally low signal lesions with fuzzy boundary located at junctional zone between cortex and medulla on both conventional MRI and SWI images. Ten cases were found to exhibit abnormally low signal lesions with fuzzy boundary located at junctional zone between cortex and medulla on SWI images only. Fifteen cases exhibited no abnormal signal lesions on both conventional MRI and SWI images. Twenty cases with normal renal function of transplanted kidney, no abnormal signal lesions were found on both conventional MRI and SWI images. The differences in signal intensity between the abnormally low signal lesions (130±20) and normal renal cortex (177±25) in the same SWI layer of 11 cases with DGF were statistically significant (t=-4.582,P<0.01). The differences in positive detection rate of discovering the abnormally low signal lesions in DGF between conventional MRI [3.8%(1/26)] and SWI [42.3% (11/26)] were statistically significant (χ2=8.100,P=0.002). Conclusions Abnormally low signal lesions with fuzzy boundary located at junctional zone between cortex and medulla on SWI images suggest the presence of DGF. Compared with conventional MRI, SWI appears to be superior in detecting the abnormally low signal lesions.
