To observe the clinical effect of Yangxue Zhitong pills combined with Shuangbaisan on the treatment of children with hip synovitis in.Methods 60 children with hip synovitis from November 2013 to May 2015 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,30 cases in each group.The observation group were given conventional treatment and the control group was given Yangxuezhitong pills combined with Shuangbaisan.Hip VAS and blood flow index in the two groups were followed-up and compared.Results (5 days after treatment,hip VAS in the observation group(3.50±0.46),was lower than that of the control group(4.51±0.55)(P<0.05).②CRP,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1 level in the observation group were(3.01±1.73mg/L,15.58±5.46pg/mlL,74.9±19.4pg/mL,22.57±4.01ng/L),which were lower than those in the control group(5.69±2.05mg/L,32.47±4.16pg/mL,97.6±24.2pg/mL,32.17±4.38ng/L)(P<0.05).③After treatment,total effective rate in the observation group(93.3%)was higher than that in the control group 66.7%(P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical therapeutic effect of Yangxue Zhitong pill combined with Shuangbaisan on the treatment of children with hip synovitis is exact,which is worthy of further clinical research and application.

Objective To analyze the variations of PTPS gene in patients with suspected 6-pyruvoyl-tetra hydropterin synthase deficiency (PTPSD) and to make prenatal diagnosis in high-risk families. Methods Chemiluminescence was used for phenylalanine detection in blood or dried blood spots.Patients with phenylalanine concentration over 120μmol/L were detected by urine pterin analysis, and the activity of dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) was detected. tetrahydrobiopterin loading tests were performed in suspected patients with abnormal urinary pterin profiles. PTPS gene variation analysis was performed by direct Sanger sequencing based on PCR amplification. Prenatal diagnosis in 7 high-risk families was performed by chorionic villus sampling when the genotype was identified. Results In 656 patients with hyperphenylalanine, 22 cases were diagnosed as PTPSD clinically. 16 variations were detected in the 22 PTPSD cases. The 5 variations, p.Lys77Arg, p.Ile84Phe, c.315-2A>G, c.244-2A>T, c.187-1G>T, were identified as novel variations. Two fetuses carried the same mutation with the proband and therefore were thought to be PTPSD fetuses. Three fetuses carried only one mutant allele and thus were thought to be PTPSD carriers.

Objective To explore the relationship of cuprotosis-related genes with survival rate and prognosis in patients with liver cancer. Methods By collecting clinical information and corresponding RNA-seq data of patients with liver cancer in the TCGA database, the differential expression levels of 10 cuprotosis-related genes in liver cancer and normal tissues was analyzed. Novel liver cancer subtypes were identified through consistent clustering, and differences in overall survival and clinicopathological factors were compared between the two subtypes. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used in screening cuprotosis genes associated with prognosis, and LASSO regression analysis was used in constructing a risk model. Results FDX1 was down-regulated, and the other nine genes were up-regulated in HCC tissues compared with normal tissues. Cluster analysis showed that the prognosis of Cluster1 was poor. Five prognostic genes (LIPT1, DLAT, MTF1, GLS, and CDKN2A) were screened out through univariate Cox regression analysis and LASSO regression analysis for risk model construction. The risk score of this prognostic model was identified as an independent prognostic factor compared with other clinical features. Conclusion Through bioinformatics analysis, a liver cancer prognosis model of five cuprotosis-related genes is constructed, which may be used as molecular markers for tumor diagnosis and are potential therapeutic targets.

Objective:
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents, often accompanied by motor function disorders. Sarcopenia not only has skeletal muscle dysfunction but also has neurocognitive dysfunction. At present, there is no research to explore the relationship between ADHD and skeletal muscle function. The purpose of this study is to explore whether there is a causal effect between ADHD and sarcopenia.
Methods:
In this study, genome-wide association study data of ADHD, appendicular lean mass (ALM), hand grip strength, and walking pace (WP) were extracted from public databases. The bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method was employed to investigate the correlation between ADHD and sarcopenia-related indicators, and the inverse-variance weighted analysis as the primary analysis method.
Results:
Based on the forward MR analysis, a potential causal relationship exists between ADHD and ALM (odds ratio [OR]=1.020, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.012–1.029, p<0.001). The reverse MR analysis indicates a link between WP and the risk of ADHD (OR=2.712, 95% CI: 1.609–4.571, p<0.001), with an accelerated WP increasing the likelihood of ADHD. Nevertheless, other MR analysis results did not show significant differences.
Conclusion
The findings of this study indicate an intricate causal relationship between ADHD and sarcopenia, suggesting the absence of a clear link. WP may be used as one of the indicators to evaluate the risk of ADHD. At the same time, we should pay more attention to the ALM of ADHD patients.

Objective:To establish cell lines stably expressing Rab5a and its the inactive mutant Rab5aN133I,analyze the effect of Rab5a on the expression of cytokines in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells .Methods:RAW264.7 cells were transfected with Rab5a and its inactive mutant vector Rab5a N133I separately,and then screened by G418.Rab5a stable expressing cell lines were identified by Real time-PCR.The growth of the stable cell lines was analyzed by MTT assay.After the stable cell lines were stimulated by LPS for different time periods,the expression of iNOS,TNF-αand IL-6 was detected.Results:Rab5a and Rab5aN133I transfection resulted in elevated Rab5a mRNA expression compared with the control cells ( P<0.05 ).Rab5a overexpression enhanced the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells.However,the proliferation of Rab5aN133I cells was significantly slower than the control cells ( P<0.05).Overexpression of Rab5a promoted LPS-induced production of iNOS,TNF-αand IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells (P<0.01). Conversely,overexpression of Rab5aN133I abolished the stimulating effects of Rab5a.Conclusion: Rab5a promoted LPS-induced expression of iNOS,TNF-αand IL-6 in RAW264.7 macrophages in a GTP-binding ability-dependent manner.
