Objective:To confirm the novel allele HLA-A*01∶130 and analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the abnormal reaction pattern.Methods: The HLA typing of sample DNA was performed by PCR-SBT.The ambiguous novel HLA allele was confirmed with single stranded SBT method,then DNA sequencing was performed to identify the difference between the novel allele and HLA-A?01:66 allele.Finally, it was modeled by Swiss-Model to three-dimensional structure of HLA Molecule.Results: The novel allele was not the same with all known HLA-A allele sequence.After analysis,there was one nucleotide differed from the A?01:66 at position 368 where A→G( codon 99 TAT→TGT) resulting in a coding change,99 Tyr was changed to Cys.The amino acid substitution at residue 99 the HLA polypeptide was located in a beta-sheet of antigenic peptide-binding region.Conclusion: The allele is a novel allele that has now been officially named as HLA-A*01∶130 by the World Health Organization( WHO) HLA Nomenclature Committee.

Objective: To observe the role of Qudu medicinal granules (祛毒冲剂) on enterogenous endotoxemia . Methods: Sixty-one cases with enterogenous endotoxemia were randomly divided into two groups:Qudu medicinal granule group (n=30) that was treated with Qudu medicinal granules combined with western medicine, and smecta group which was treated with smecta and western medicine (n=31). Changes of symptoms and signs were observed before treatment and 1, 3, 7 days after treatment. Blood samples were collected in the morning to measure the white blood cell (WBC), plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels. Results: Recovery speed of WBC count in Qudu medicinal granule group was faster than that of the smecta group, there was significant difference on the third day after treatment (P

Objective: To investigate the clinically and genetic characteristics of children with Leigh syndrome. Method: Patients with clinically diagnosed Leigh syndrome(LS)in the department of Neurology, Beijing Children′s Hospital from January 2013 to February 2016 underwent the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA (nDNA) detecting with next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The clinical data of gene confirmed cases were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The differences in the onset age, clinical manifestations, lactic acid level and MRI results between the mtDNA variation and nDNA variation were compared and analyzed.t test, Chi-square test and Fisher′s exact test were used for statistical analysis. Result: Thirty-five cases were diagnosed by gene detection, including 20 males and 15 females. The median onset age was 1 year (ranging from the neonatal period to 4.4 years old). The age of onset within 2 years accounted for 74%(26 cases). The onset age of initial symptoms, including developmental delay, developmental regression, and seizures, were 6 (4, 12) months, 12 (8, 14) months, and 6 (1, 23) months respectively. The onset age of ptosis, extrapyramidal symptoms and ataxia were 26 (18, 44) months, 28 (23, 40) months and 28 (19, 35) months, respectively. There were significant differences in the onset age between the three groups (H=21.919, P=0.01). Within the 35 cases, 29 were manifested with developmental delay (83%), 26 with dystonia (74%), 18 with growth retardation, 15 with myasthenia, 13 with developmental regression, 11 with dysphagia, 10 with feeding difficulties, 4 with skeletal dysplasia, and 2 with digestive tract symptoms; nystagmus and respiratory abnormalities were observed in 9 cases respectively; extrapyramidal symptoms, peripheral nerve injury, ptosis, seizures were observed in 8 cases respectively; and ataxia, ophthalmoplegia and hypertrichiasis were found in 5 cases respectively.The blood lactic acid was measured in 32 LS patients, within which 23 cases (72%) had increased results; 8 out of 11 cases who underwent were cerebrospinal fluid lactic acid test had increased results. The results of neuroimaging revealed that all the patients were involved in the brainstem and (or) basal ganglia, of whom 27 (77%) had brainstem involvement, 24 (69%) had basal ganglia involvement. Thirteen out of 14 patients who had medulla oblongata involvement had nDNA variation; while 7 out of 8 patients with cerebellar involvement had nDNA variation. Genetic etiology was confirmed in all patients, among whom there were 17 cases (49%) with mtDNA mutation, including 8993T>C/G (n=5), 14487T>C (n=4), 13513G>A (n=2), 9176T>C, 10158T>C, 3697G>A, 10191T>C, 14459A>G and 11777C>A (n=1) respectively. Remaining 18 cases(51%) had nDNA mutation, including SURF1 gene(n=10), PDHA1 gene(n=3) and one case each of NDUFV1, NDUFAF6, NDUFAF5, NDUFS1 and COQ7 genes. In this study, 27 types of mutations were founded, 15 of which had not been previously reported. Respiratory chain gene mutations have been found in 31 cases(89%); 3 cases had PDHc gene mutations, and 1 case had other mutation. Conclusion LS usually occurs in infants. The most common primary symptoms are age-dependent abnormal movements, ocular symptoms, and seizures. Respiratory chain defects is the most common causes of LS.SURF1 is the most common variation, followed by 8993T>C/G, 14487 T>C and 13513G>A mutation.

OBJECTIVETo explore the differences in volume and localization of the internal gross target volume and planning target volume delineated by clips and/or seroma based on four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) during free-breathing in breast cancer patients after breast conserving surgery.

METHODSFifteen breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) were recruited for external-beam partial breast irradiation (EB-PBI). On the ten sets CT images, the gross tumor volumes (GTV) formed by the clips, the seroma, and both the clips and seroma were delineated and defined as GTVc, GTVs and GTVc+s, respectively. Ten GTVc, GTVs and GTVc+s on the ten sets CT images produced the IGTVc, IGTVs, IGTVc+s. The PTVc, PTVs, PTVc+s were created by adding 15 mm to the IGTVc, IGTVs, IGTVc+s, respectively. The IGTV and PTV volume and distance between the centers of IGTVc, IGTVs, IGTVc+s and PTVc, PTVs, PTVc+s were all recorded. Conformity index (CI) and degree of inclusion (DI) were calculated for IGTV/IGTV and PTV/PTV, respectively.

RESULTSThe volume of IGTVc+s[(35.73 ± 19.77) cm³] was significantly larger than the IGTVc [(28.35 ± 17.54) cm³] and IGTVs [(24.19 ± 21.53) cm³] (P < 0.05), and the volume of PTVc+s [(191.59 ± 69.74) cm³] was significantly larger than that of the PTVc [(161.53 ± 61.07) cm³] and PTVs [(148.98 ± 62.22)cm³] (P < 0.05). There were significant differences between the DIs of IGTVc in IGTVc+s and IGTVc+s in IGTVc, the DIs of IGTVs in IGTVc+s and IGTVc+s in IGTVs, the DIs of PTVc in PTVc+s and PTVc+s in PTVc, and the DIs of PTVs vs. PTVc+s and PTVc+s in PTVs (P < 0.05 for all). The CI of IGTVc/IGTVc+s (0.63 ± 0.14) and the CI of IGTVs/IGTVc+s (0.54 ± 0.17) were significant larger than that of the CI of IGTVc/IGTVs (0.40 ± 0.14)(P < 0.05). There were non-significant differences among the CI of PTVc/PTVs, PTVc/PTVc+s and PTVs/PTVc+s (0.73 ± 0.12, 0.78 ± 0.13 vs. 0.75 ± 0.17). The DIs and CIs of IGTV/IGTV and PTV/PTV were negatively correlated with their centroid distance (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThere are volume difference and spatial mismatch between the target volumes delineated on the basis of surgical clips and seroma. The DI and CI between the PTVs are larger than that between the IGTV. External-beam partial breast irradiation should be implemented based on the PTV that is defined based on both seroma and surgical clips.
