1.Analysis of microbial infection and the related factors in patients with periodontal -endodontic combined lesions
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(2):201-203
Objective To explore the microbial infection and the related factors in patients with periodontal-endodontic combined lesions(PECL),in order to provide reference for the control and prevention of clinical infec-tion.Methods 36 patients with PECL were selected as observation group;36 cases(36 teeth)were selected as con-trol group.Samples of periodontal pockets and root canal samples were collected to detect the infection of microorgan-ism,and the risk factor of the occurrence of PECL was analyzed.Results 23 teeth in the observation group were detected microorganisms,the detection rate was 63.9%,such as Neisseria,Corynebacterium,actinomyces,Campy-lobacter,Fusobacterium were the main microorganisms,including 23 teeth for periodontal pockets were detected in the microorganism,the detection rate was 100.0%,and 14 cases of root canal detection of microbial,the detection rate was 60.9%;7 teeth in the control group was found in microbes,and the detection rate was 19.4%,the detection rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that of control group(χ2 =14.63,P <0.05).The tooth week source PECL dependent variable y multi factors logistic regression analysis showed that Neisseria,Corynebacterium, actinomyces,Fusobacterium infection were periodontal source PECL risk factors(OR =1.462,1.379,1.467,1.665, all P <0.05).Conclusion The occurrence of periodontal source PECL is closely related to the microbial infection, and the clinical treatment can improve the cure rate.

OBJECTIVE:
To identify potential mutation in a child clinically diagnosed as Noonan syndrome and to provide genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for his family.
METHODS:
Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the patient and his parents, and amniotic fluid was taken from the mother during the second trimester. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was used to screen potential mutations from genomic DNA. Suspected mutation was verified by Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS:
A heterozygous c.4A>G (p.Ser2Gly) mutation of the SHOC2 gene was identified in the patient but not among other family members including the fetus.
CONCLUSION
The Noonan syndrome is probably caused by the c.4A>G mutation of the SHOC2 gene. NGS is helpful for the diagnosis of complicated genetic diseases. SHOC2 gene mutation screening is recommended for patient suspected for Noonan syndrome.
