Objective To explore the operation points of the steps offront-typehypospadias operation in oral mucosa urethroplasty and scrubbed shaped urethra with meat membrane covering.Methods After correction of chordee of penis of 40 patients with Front -type hypospadias, oral mucosa was transplanted and fixed on albuginea surface at the one-third of ventral penile for all the patients to increase the width of the urethra and form the urethra with the selected appropriate size ureter. The skin of dorsal penile was transferred to ventral penile. After clearing the pedicled skin flap, the subcutaneous layer of meat was kept down, and stamped wholly on forming place of urethral reel (including both sides inferior of cut-off cavernous body of glans penis),forming the glans again.Results There was no ankylo-urethria among the 40 front-type hypospadias operation, ureteroscopy examination after two months of the operation showed that all the transplanted oral mucosa survived, and the stamped subcutaneous layer of meat located at both sides inferior of cut-off cavernous body of glans penis adhered with satisfaction,no glans incision dehiscence,there occurred 2 cases of urinary fistula which had been cured by neoplasty,there was 1 case of transferred flap necrosis which had been cured after dressing change.40 patients were satisfied with penis appearance after operation.Conclusion Following up the operation points of “front-type”hyospadias operation,the success rate of operation can be improverd obviously,the plastic effect is good,and the complications after operation can be reduced.stamped wholly on formed urethra.There is a small probability of incidence of urethral stenosis and urinary fistula after operation.

With the rapid development of nanotechnology, accurate personalized treatments for tumor have attracted more attention to increase the therapeutic effects and reduce the side effects. The emerging theranostic systems incorporating different therapeutic and diagnostic imaging capabilities have become a new research hotspot. Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles(IONP)have been widely used in theranostic systems due to their unique imaging properties, stable thermal performance, excellent biocompatibility and admirable surface modifiability. In this review, we analyzed the advantages of IONP in the diagnosis and the treatment of tumor, and detailedly introduced the relevant strategies and latest research progress, including magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), photothermal therapy, magnetic hyperthermia, and magnetic targeted drug delivery, etc. Finally, the potential application of IONP in the clinical tumor theranostics was proposed.

Objective:To analyze the inter-observer consistency of Smart 3D super microvascular imaging (Smart-3D SMI) in evaluating the blood flow of breast lesions.Methods:Prospective study on Smart-3D SMI images of 225 cases of continuous breast lesions in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January to December 2018. Two sonographers conducted qualitative evaluation of vascular architecture(VA) under Smart-3D SMI, and took the mean value of three measurements evaluations of vascular index(VI). Weighted Kappa was used to test the consistency of the vascular architecture, and Bland-Altman scatter plot was used to calculate the 95% consistency limit of the measured data for the VI value. Spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze whether the absolute difference of VI between observers was correlated with the mean value of VI.Results:The Weighted Kappa coefficient of Smart-3D SMI for the evaluation of VA by two sonographers was 0.839 (95% CI was 0.795-0.881, P<0.001), showing strong inter-observer consistency. Bland-Altman plot analysis of VI value showed that the value of 95.11% was within the clinically acceptable range and had good consistency, and there was a correlation between the difference of VI value between observers and the value of VI mean ( r s=0.639, P<0.001). Conclusions:There is a good inter-observer consistency in evaluating the blood vascular architecture and quantitatively measuring the blood flow abundance by Smart-3D SMI.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the clinical features and genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with hereditary dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH).
METHODS:
Peripheral blood samples of the proband and his mother were collected and subjected to PCR and Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS:
The patient has conformed to the typical pattern of DSH and manifested with hyperpigmentation, hypo- and hyperpigmentation spots on the back of hands, feet and face. Sanger sequencing confirmed that the proband and his mother have both harbored heterozygous splicing variant c.2762+1G>T in exon 9 of the ADAR gene, which was unreported previously. The same variant was not detected among 100 healthy controls. According to the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the variant was predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+PM2+PP4).
CONCLUSION
The c.2762+1G>T variant of the ADAR gene probably underlay the DSH in this pedigree. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of ADAR gene mutations.

Objective To investigate the popularization of cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)knowledge and science popularization needs among urban and rural residents in Tonghai County,Yuxi City,Yunnan Province,so as to explore the establishment of an efficient and appropriate science popularization model.Methods A total of 300 residents aged 15-60 years old were selected from Tonghai County,Yuxi City,Yunnan Province using stratified and simple random sampling methods.A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an anonymous questionnaire survey.Results Only 20.3%of Tonghai County residents master CPR skills,and 26.2%of Tonghai County residents have never heard of CPR.There is a statistically significant difference in the awareness rate of CPR between rural residents and non-rural residents(P<0.01).There are differences in residents'age and CPR awareness(P<0.01),the age and CPR are inversely proportional.The residents have a higher willingness to perform chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on strangers,66.2%and 68.6%respectively.63.79%of residents have never attended relevant training.But 92.76%of the people said they were willing to participate in the relevant training when they learned the training news.Conclusion Residents in Tonghai County generally lack knowledge of CPR first aid,but the demand for first aid knowledge of residential CPR is high and the attitude towards rescue is positive.It is recommended that relevant departments increase CPR science popularization and training efforts,and popularize CPR into villages.

Objective:To screen host cell proteins interacting with rotavirus nonstructural protein 2(NSP2) and provide a theoretical basis for the discovery of antiviral targets.Methods:E. coli BL21(DE3) was transformed with a recombinant plasmid NSP2-pGEX-6P-1 and induced by IPTG to express NSP2-GST. GST affinity chromatography was used to purify NSP2-GST and Western blot was performed for verification. NSP2-GST and GST proteins were used as targets to capture interacting proteins in MA104 cells via GST pull-down. After silver staining, differential proteins were screened by in-gel enzymatic hydrolysis and mass spectrometry. Protein pilot platform was used to filter peptides, and the names and the biological functions of the proteins were obtained by Paragon algorithm. The potential connection between the interacting proteins was demonstrated by protein interaction network diagrams and GO functional annotation analysis. Moreover, the molecular docking of the top three proteins with NPS2 was predicted using HDOCK server and verified by docking and confidence scores, so as to investigate the visual docking model between interacting proteins. Results:SDS-PAGE and Western blot showed the successful purification of the recombinant protein NSP2. Ten host proteins including PKM2, which might interact with NSP2, were identified by GST pull-down and protein profiling. GO analysis and interaction diagrams revealed that RPS4X, EZR, SUPT16H and EIF2S3 mediated molecular expression; PKM2, LDHA and ATP5A1 participated in energy metabolism; HSP90, ACTB and ANXA2 were involved in biological movement. Besides, there were functional connections and interaction networks among them. Molecular docking further verified PKM2, HSP90 and RPS4X did interact with NSP2, and the interaction force were strong enough to form a stable structure.Conclusions:This study successfully discovered several host proteins including PKM2, HSP90 and RPS4X that could interact with NSP2, providing reference for investigating the process of rotavirus infection and making related prevention and control strategies.
