T),resulting in His to Leu(CAT→CTT) substituted at codon 435(H435L).No mutation was identified in the patient's parents.HT occurred in the patient during following-up.Conclusion H435L mutation in exon 10 of TR? gene leads to resistance to thyroid hormone.Meanwhile,consistent RTH might lead to HT.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of using adsorption method combined with warm saline in heparin- free dialysis for patients with high risk bleeding tendency in order to reduce blood ag-glutination in the dialyzer and pipeline. Methods 60 patients with high risk bleeding tendency who were to undergo long- term hemodialysis (HD) were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 30 eases in each group,they both adopted heparin- free dialysis.The control group used saline washing of room temperature, while the experimental group adopted adsorption method combined with warm saline during washing. The completion of dialysis as well as the agglutination in the dialyzer and pipeline were ob-served. Results Number of patients who completed the dialysis were more, the completion rate of dialysis was higher and agglutination of dialyzer and pipeline decreased in the experimental group than those in the control group. Conclusions Agglutination of dialyzer and pipeline can be reduced and the aim of safe and effective heparin- free dialysis can be reached when using adsorption method combined with warm saline.

Objective To explore the clinical features and endoscopic manifestations of eosinophilic gastroente-ritis(EG)in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of the clinical manifestation,laboratory examination,endoscopy(upper and/or colonoscopy)performance,diagnosis and treatment of 49 cases of patients who were diagnosed as EG in Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July 2013 to July 2015.Results The common clinical manifestations of EG in children were hematochezia(23 cases),diarrhea(20 cases),vomiting(18 cases)and abdominal pain(15 cases).The ages of children admitted to hospital for the first time ranged from 1 month and 7 days old to 13 years and 7 months old,and the mean age was 59.4 months old,in which most patients were younger than 1 year old,accounting for 38.77％(19 cases)of all.Peripheral blood eosinophilia was present in 20 cases(40.82％)of the patients,and only 6/18 cases(33.33％)of the patients had elevated serum IgE.Upon endoscopic analysis,the lesions involved esophagus(4 cases),stomach(14 cases),duodenum(20 cases),small intestine(15 cases),colon(28 cases)and rectum(6 cases),and the most common manifestation under gastroscopy was mucosal hyperemia edema(27 cases)and erosion(9 cases),while the most common manifestation under colonoscopy was mucosal hyperemia edema(25 cases)and nodular hyperplasia(24 cases).All patients improved with food restriction,in which 8 cases were treated with glucocorticoid while 9 cases with oral Singulair and 9 cases with oral Loratadine.All children with symptoms were alleviated somewhat,but 5 cases of them relapsed after drug withdrawal.Conclusions The clinical manifestations of EG in children varied and were mainly hematochezia,vomiting,diarrhea and abdominal pain.Some patients had the elevated peripheral blood eosinophilia and serum IgE.The most common manifestations under gastroscopy were mucosal hyperemia edema and erosion while the most common manifestations under colonoscopy were mucosal hyperemia edema and nodular hyperplasia.

ConclusionThe rate of complications of multiple electrodes radio-frequency treatment for liver tumor is low and the complications can be prevented and cured.

0.05),but there was significant difference between group A and group C,the rate of hypoglycemia of group A was less than group C(P

BACKGROUND:Abnormal hippocampal neurogenesis during aging has been reported to result in learning and memory dysfunction. But its mechanism is unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To understand the changes of mouse neurogenesis in the hippocampal subgranular zone during aging.
METHODS:C57BL/6 mice 2, 6 and 20 months of age were used. Immunochemistry was used to count the number of neural stem cels (nestin+), neuroblasts (Doublecortin+, DCX+), and proliferative cels (proliferating cel nuclear antigen+, PCNA+) in the hippocampal subgranular zone. mRNA expressions of aging-related genes, p19Arf and p21Cip1/Waf1, in the hippocampus were detected by reverse transcription-PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the young and middle age groups, the number of PCNA+ cels, nestin+ and DCX+ cels in the hippocampal subgranular zone of the aged group decreased dramaticaly; the expression of p19Arf and p21Cip1/Waf1 mRNA increased in the aged group. Proliferation activity, the number of neural stem cels and neuronal differentiation al decreased. These findings indicate that the decline of hippocampal neurogenesis may be associated with increased expression of aging-related genes p19Arf and p21Cip1/Waf1 in the p19Arf-Mdm2-p53-p21Cip1/Waf1pathway.

Objective Investigate the effect of EC50 of propofol target-injection in the different TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) physique types of patients who are in unconscious phase. Methods Depend on the standard protocol of TCM physique types sort and determination, we sorted 60 patients into three groups:Ping He (group A), Yang Xu (group B) and Yin Xu (group C), 20 patients per group. We applied the sequential experiment to measure the minimal EC50 and NI values of propofol when the patients were in the unconscious phase. Results The EC50 of propofol of group A, B and C are 3.85 μg/mL, 4.12 μg/mL and 3.43 μg/mL respectively. 95% confidence intervals of group A, B and C are 3.64 ~ 4.07 μg/mL, 3.92 ~ 4.33μg/mL and 3.26 ~ 3.60 μg/mL respectively. Conclusion There is a correlation between the different TCM physique types and the dosage of propofol target-injection.

Objective To determine the impact of uric acid changes on kidney function in middle-aged and elderly women with normal renal function.Methods Serum uric acid and estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) were studied by prospective cohort analysis in 1152 middle-aged and elderly Dalian women with serum uric acid<7 mg/dl, estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)≥90 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1, and age>45 years old.Results The analysis of variance (ANOVA) of clinical indices between baseline and follow-up data showed that an eGFR was decreased after three years in both middle-aged and elderly women even with normal serum uric acid.Compared with those in the lowest guartile subgroup, a significant drop of eGFR to less than 90 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 was seen in those with the highest guartile of baseline serum uric acid group (OR=1.707, 95%CI 1.192-2.443, P=0.003).Furthermore, there were positive correlations between changes in the levels of serum uric acid and eGFR, and linear regression analysis showed that, as the change level of serum uric acid increased, the change level of eGFR declined(β=1.562, 95%CI 1.050-2.075, P<0.01], and the changing degree of uric acid increase is independent risk factors refor eGFR reductions.Conclusion Reduction in eGFR level is inversely related to serum uric acid in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.However, our study showed that, women with serum uric acid level ranging from normal, slight increase, and relatively high levels, the increasing degrees of uric acid are independent risk factors responsible for the changing degree of eGFR reduction.

DNA damage response (DDR) in different cell cycle status of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and the role of H2AX in DDR were investigated. The PBLs were stimulated into cell cycle with phytohemagglutinin (PHA). The apoptotic ratio and the phosphorylation H2AX (S139) were flow cytometrically measured in resting and proliferating PBLs after treatment with camptothecin (CPT) or X-ray. The expressions of γH2AX, Bcl-2, caspase-3 and caspase-9 were detected by Western blotting. DDR in 293T cells was detected after H2AX was silenced by RNAi method. Our results showed that DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) were both induced in quiescent and proliferating PBLs after CPT or X-ray treatment. The phosphorylation of H2AX and apoptosis were more sensitive in proliferating PBLs compared with quiescent lymphocytes (P<0.05). The expression levels of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 were reduced and cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-9 were increased. No significant changes were observed in CPT-induced apoptosis in 293T cells between H2AX knocking down group and controls. It was concluded that proliferating PBLs were more vulnerable to DNA damage compared to non-stimulated lymphocytes and had higher apoptosis rates. γH2AX may only serve as a marker of DNA damage but exert no effect on apoptosis regulation.
