BACKGROUND: Phenylketonuria is caused by gene mutation of phenylalanine hydroxylasel (PAH), which is mainly induced by permutation, short segments and insertion of base.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the gene mutation of phenylalanine hydroxylasel in phenylketonuria in Hui nationality.DESIGN: Open study.SETTING: Urumqi General Hospital of Lanzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA; Capital Pediatrics Institute.PARTICIPANTS: A boy of Hui nationality in China and aged 3.1 years was selected in this study. The boy had intellect hysteresis in his one year and received medical treatment in his three years, while he was diagnosed as cerebral paralysis. After repeatedly inefficient treatment, he was hospitalized in our hospital on December 13, 2004. Iron sesquichloride in urine was strongly positive and concentration of serum phenylalanine was 1 680 μmol/L; therefore, he was diagnosed as the typical phenylketonuria.METHODS: 5 mL venous blood was selected from the boy and his parents, respectively, and anticoagulated with EDTA-Na2. DNA in gene group was extracted by using typical phenol/chloroform method. In addition, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer sequence of extron 7, 6, 11, 3, 12 and 5 of PAH gene was designed based on references. And then, PCR products were detected with 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. 5 μL PCR products were mixed with the same volume of degenerated buffer solution, degenerated at 97 ℃ for 5 minutes, put in iced bath and performed with 80 g/Lnon-degenerated polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After that, the products were dealt with sliver staining routinely, and single strand DNA banding patterns were analyzed and recorded. ABI377 automatic sequenator (PE Company) was used to detect PCR sequence and purify PCR product in Shanghai Boya Biotechnology Company.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Iron sesquichloride in urine, concentration of serum phenylalanine and mutant gene types of phenylalanine hydroxylase.RESULTS: Extron 7, 6, 11, 3, 12 and 5 of PAH gene were analyzed in the boy and his parents. The results demonstrated that SSCP electrophoresis in extron 6 was different from that in the normal control group. Site of electrophoresis strip of his father was coincident with that of his mother, but different from that of the boy. Sequencing results indicated that point mutation (cytosine replaced by thymine), which was a R176X mutant heterozygote, occurred at the 526th site of cDNA of phenylalanine hydroxylase gene in his parents; however, two chromosomes of the boy had mutation at the same site, which was R176X mutant homozygote.CONCLUSION: Mutation of R176X homozygote of phenylketonurea is firstly reported in Hui nationality in China.

The presence of adenocarcinoma in urothelium is rare and mucinous adenocarcinoma is even rarer. A case of primary ureteral papillary mucinous adenocarcinoma was reported. The patient was admitted to hospital due to dull pain in the left lumbar abdomen with abdominal distension for 2 years and aggravation with fever for 1 week. CT examination revealed left ureteral calculi, severe left renal hydronephrosis, and renal cortical atrophy. The diagnosis was left ureteral calculus with hydronephrosis and left renal dysfunction. Left kidney puncture and drainage were performed first, followed by laparoscopic nonfunctional nephrectomy and ureterolithotomy. The pathological diagnosis was left ureteral mucinous adenocarcinoma. The patient refused further adjuvant therapy and died 16 months after surgery due to extensive tumor metastasis.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the most common mental illness after patients suffer physically or emotionally from traumatic events, can cause persistently strong, painful and terrible avoidance symptoms, emotional and cognitive changes, causing psychologically strong stimulation and heavy burden to patients and even leading to some extreme behavioral reactions. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important factor in the occurrence of PTSD, both of which shares many similar pathological overlaps, and may coexist and interact with each other. The hippocampus and amygdala play a central role in the pathogenesis of PTSD, but the specific cellular and molecular and neural circuit mechanisms are still unclear. About two-thirds of the patients still meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD after psychotherapy. However, the current treatment methods are complicated and not unified, and patients treated with medications may have adverse drug reactions, poor treatment outcomes and recurrence. Therefore, it is of great significance to further clarify the occurrence and development of PTSD in TBI patients. The authors reviewed the research progress of the pathogenesis and treatment of PTSD in TBI patients, so as to provide reference for the related research and treatment of PTSD in TBI patients.

Craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion is a special kind of compound injury, with low temperature, high permeability, high alkali, high salt content, and bacterial infection being the main causes. The injury is also characterized with complex damage mechanisms, difficulty to treat, and poor prognosis. At present, the damage mechanisms of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion are mainly studied by establishing the experimental animal models at the levels of tissue, cell, organelle, molecule, etc. However, the craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion is more complex than the simple onshore craniocerebral injury, therefore, a stable disease model is not easy to construct. Most researches on the specific injury mechanisms are relatively single and one-sided, with many different views in existence, and the damage mechanisms of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion have hitherto not been clear. The authors reviewed the research progress in the damage mechanisms of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion, in order to promote the in-depth study of the mechanism of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion and provide reference for its clinical treatment.

【Objective】 To explore B lymphocytes’ role and mechanisms in angiotensinⅡ/phenylephrine (AngⅡ/PE) induced cardiomyopathy so as to understand the role of inflammatory cells in myocardial injury. 【Methods】 AngⅡ/PE was administered to wild-type (WT) and B cells deficiency (μMT) mice for 14 days or 28 days. The mice were analyzed by blood pressure measurement, echocardiography imaging, flow cytometry, and histology. Cardiac fibrosis was evaluated by Masson staining. 【Results】 Compared with the control group, the left ventricular mass (P<0.01), heart mass/tibia length ratio (P<0.01) and cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes in AngⅡ/PE group were significantly increased (P<0.01). After 2 weeks of AngⅡ/PE treatment, B lymphocytes (P<0.05), CD45⁺ leukocytes (P<0.05), CD64^-Ly6C⁺ monocytes (P<0.05), CD64⁺Ly6C^-macrophages (P<0.05) and Ly6g⁺ neutrophils (P<0.05) were recruited in myocardial tissue. Compared with WT_AngⅡ/PE group, the heart weight/tibia length ratio (P<0.05), left ventricular weight (P<0.05) and myocardial cell cross-sectional area (P<0.05) of μMT_AngⅡ/PE mice were significantly improved. CD45⁺Ly6C⁺CD64^- monocytes (P<0.05) and CD45⁺Ly6C^-CD64⁺ macrophages (P<0.05) were significantly decreased. 【Conclusion】 B lymphocytes deficiency improves AngⅡ/PE induced cardiac hypertrophy by reducing the infiltration of CD45⁺Ly6C⁺CD64^- monocytes and CD45⁺Ly6C^- CD64⁺ macrophages.

【Objective】 To explore the clinical application effects of animated video in doctor-patient communication before surgical treatment of ureteral calculi. 【Methods】 A total of 278 cases of ureteral calculi treated in our hospital during Jan. and Dec.2021 were selected as subjects. According to the operation periods, 146 patients treated during Jan. and Jun.2021 were classified as the conventional group, who received traditional oral explanation for preoperative conversation, while 132 patients treated during Jul. and Dec.2021 were classified as the video group who watched animated video for preoperative conversation. The two groups of patients and their families were compared in terms of operation awareness, satisfaction of preoperative conversation, anxiety, preoperative ECG monitoring abnormalities, medical complaints and so on. 【Results】 The operation awareness [(93.35±2.33) vs. (89.21±2.78) points] and satisfaction of preoperative conversation [(94.27±2.33) vs. (91.36±3.68) points] of the video group were significantly higher than those of the conventional group (P<0.05). In terms of anxiety, abnormal preoperative ECG monitoring and medical complaints, the video group also had significant advantages (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Using animated video to assist preoperative conversation can effectively improve the awareness of patients and their families about the operation, and alleviate the anxiety and fear of patients, so that they are more cooperative. This ensures the smooth operation and reduces the occurrence of postoperative complaints.
