Turner syndrome (TS) is the result of complete or partial deletion of an X chromosome. It is often associated with endocrine dysfunction such as thyroid dysfunction, growth and developmental disorders, glucose and lipid metabolism disor-ders, and so on. Long-term follow-up of children with TS should regularly monitor thyroid autoantibodies, thyroid function, blood glucose and blood lipids for early detection and intervention of the complications, in order to further improve the life quality of children with TS.

Background and purpose:There were reports that radiotherapy might intensify angiogenesis and result in the resistance of tumor to radiotherapy.Endostar,a new type rh-endostatin,may specifically inhibit angiogenesis and tumor growth,so it may reduce the resistance to radiotherapy.This study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Endostar in combination with radiation compared with cisplatin(DDP) plus radiation on lung adenocarcinoma A549 in BALB/c nude mice.Methods:We established A549 lung adenocarcinoma xenograft models.When the largest diameter of tumor reached 1.0 cm,all mice were randomized into 4 groups(n=6):control,radiation alone,radiation plus DDP,radiation plus Endostar.We measured the largest diameter and the vertical diameter of the tumors at different time points after treatment.At the 16th day,mice were executed and the tumors were subjected to removal for the analysis of apoptosis,and the expression level of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) mRNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) were also detected by immunohistochemistry.Results:The tumor growth velocity of control,radiation alone,radiation plus DDP,radiation plus Endostar were(162?6)%,(131?8)%,(104?7)% and(108?11)% respectively(P0.05).The apoptosis rates of control,radiation alone,radiation plus DDP,radiation plus Endostar were(12.2?1.1)%,(16.5?0.8)%,(24.4?1.5)% and(20.5?1.9)%,respectively(P

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease due to glucocorticoid biosynthesis enzyme deficiency,in addition to the common types such as 21-hydroxylase,11 β-hydroxylase deficiency,also include rare types such as 3 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency,17α-hydroxylase deficiency and congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH).These rare types of CAH have multiple clinical manifestations,which are easily missed or misdiagnosed.This article focus on molecular genetics,pathophysiology,clinical manifestations and treatment principles of above 3 rare types of CAH.

ObjectiveTo investigate the associations of the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP) subtypes with severity and outcomes of acute ischemic stroke.MethodsThe inpatients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled prospectively and divided into total anterior circulation infarct (TACI), partial anterior circulation infarct (PACI), posterior circulation infarct (POCI), and lacunar infarction (LACI) according to the OCSP classification.Demographic and baseline clinical data of the patients were recorded.The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used to assess stroke severity, ≤8 was mild stroke and >8 was moderate to severe stroke.The clinical outcome was assessed at 90 d after onset with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and the favorable outcome was defined as mRS score 0-2, and the unfavorable one was defined as mRS score 3-5, death or cardiovascular event.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent associations of the OCSP subtypes and stroke severity and outcomes.ResultsA total of 765 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 46 (6.0%) with TACI, 281 with PACI (36.7%), 229 (29.9%) with POCI, and 209 (27.3%) with LACI.There were 580 patients (75.8%) with mild stroke, and 185 (24.2%) with moderate to severe stroke;17 were lost to follow-up, 513 (68.6%) had favorable outcomes, and 235 (31.4%) had unfavorable outcomes.There were significant differences between the baseline NIHSS scores and outcomes in each OCSP subtypes (all P<0.05), in which the baseline NIHSS score in TACI was the highest, the outcome was worst, and the proportion of patients with unfavorable outcome was 89.1%;there was significant difference in the baseline NIHSS scores between the PACI and the POCI (P<0.05), however, the proportion of patients with unfavorable outcome was not the case.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TACI was an independent risk factor for moderate to severe stroke (odds ratio 84.881, 95% confidence interval 20.307-354.792;P<0.001) and unfavorable outcome (odds ratio 21.472, 95% confidence interval 8.362-55.136;P<0.001).Conclusion The OCSP subtypes were independently associated with the severity and outcomes of acute ischemic stroke.

Background Animal model of fungal keratitis is an available tool to the experimental study of the pathogenesis mechanism of fungal keratitis. Current modeling methods of fungal keratitis include corneal scratching, corneal stroma injection and corneal surface lens methods. But these methods still have their own shortages. Objective This experiment was to create a fungal keratitis animal model by modifying corneal surface lens method. Methods Modified animal models of fungal keratitis were created by modified corneal surface lens method in 12 general adult New Zealand white rabbits. The filter papers soaked 108 spores / ml or A106spores / ml of spergillus fumigatus suspension were attached on the de-epithelial cornea surface and fixed with contact lens and tarsorrhaphy for 2 days, and the filter paper with physiological saline was used as control group. The symptoms of anterior segment were examined under the slit lamp in 3 ,7 and 14 days after surgery and scored based on the criteria of Dong. Corneal scraping was stained with 10% potassium hydroxide and calcofluor white stain to observed mycelium under the fluorescence microscope. Corneal tissue sections were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining and periodic acid Schiff staining under the light microscope. The use of animal followed the Standard of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Results Fungal keratitis models were successfully established in 6 eyes and 4 eyes in 108 spores/ml group (6/6) and 106 spores/ml group respectively. The symptom was more severer and score was higher in the eyes of 108 spores/ml group than that in 106 spores/ml group. At 3 and 7 days after surgery,the symptom scores of fungal keratitis models were higher than those of control group from 3 through 7 days with the statistically significant difference (P<0. 01) and the symptom scores of 108 spores/ml group were significantly higher than those of 106 spores/ml group (P<0. 01). At 14 days after surgery, the symptom scores of 108 spores/ml group were still higher than those of control group (P<0. 05). Fungal hyphae was seen in the corneal scrapes in 108 spores/ml group and 106 spores/ml group respectively from 3 through 7 days after surgery. Inflammatory cell infiltration, stroma cells necrosis and fungal hyphae were presented in 108 spores/ml group, and the corneal neovascularization could be observed in 108 spores / ml group 14 days later. Fungal culture revealed the positive outcome in both 3 and 7 days after surgery in 108 spores/ml group,but in 106 spores/ml group,the positive result was only in the 3rd day. Conclusion Modified corneal surface lens method is more feasible and sample in the model of Aspergillus keratitis. This animal model of Aspergillus keratitis is practical for the further study of fungal keratitis.

Objective To investigate the alternation of left ventricular systolic function in patients underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation operation(TAVI) by three-dimensional speckle tracking technology (3D-STI).Methods Totally 20 patients with severe aortic stenosis were enrolled.All the subjects underwent successful TAVI operation.The real-time 3D full volume datasets on apical four-chamber view were acquired on before,7 days and 1 month after TAVI.Left ventricular global longitudinal strain(GLS),regional peak systolic longitudinal strain(LS),regional peak systolic circumferential strain(CS) and regional peak systolic radial strain(RS),were analysed using off-line TomTec software,the differences among the three groups were compared.Results Compared with the preoperation,aortic valve blood flow velocity (AV),mean aortic valve pressure gradient(mPAG) of 7 days after operation decreased significantly.Threedimensional left ventricular ejecation fraction(3D-LVEF) among the patients whose 3D-LVEF under 50％had a remarkable increase and whose 3D-LVEF exceed 50％ before operation had no significant change,while 1 month after operation the 3D-LVEF had a significant improvement compared with the preoperational data regardless of 3D-LVEF under 50％ or not.The GLS and LS of all segments of 7 days after TAVI were higher than pre-operation(all P ＜0.05),and it had a further improvement 1 month after TAVI.Conclusions LV systolic function had improvement early after TAVI.3D-STI is a new,convenient way to detect the global and regional left ventricular systolic function of TAVI patients.
