Objective: To explore the relationship between urinary soybean isoflavone metabolites and sexual development of adolescent girls. Methods: Fifty girls of grade 5 from one primary school in Xingang City who met the inclusion criteria were selected. Sexual characteristic development was assessed and soybean isoflavone metabolites in urine was tested by ultra high speed liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC MS/MS). Results: Levels of dye xylinone in girls with different stages of sexual development (advanced, normal, and delayed groups) varied significantly[(186.7±24.1，171.8±22.8，155.3±21.6)μmol/mol] ( F =3.53， P <0.05), highest in advanced group. Urinary genistein was significantly higher in menarche group than that of non menarche group[(213.4±22.8，166.3±21.7)μmol/mol] ( t =2.16， P <0.05). Urinary genistein may be associated with early sexual development among adolescent girls. Conclusion High level of urine genistein may be related to the early sexual development of adolescent girls.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and clinical features of the patients with 2019-nCoV infection, so as to provide basis for clinical diagnosis. Methods: The epidemiology, clinical symptoms, laboratory and radiologic data of 23 patients with 2019-nCoV infection admitted to the Fifth People's Hospital of Xinyang City from January 22,2020 to January 29, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The 23 patients with 2019 nCov infection consisted of 15 men and 8 women, and the median age was 46.0 (40.5, 52.0) years (27-80 years); 9 of them had basic disease (39%), including hypertension (17%), cardiovascular diseases (17%), diabetes (9%), hypothyroidism (4%) and old tuberculosis (4%). All the 23 patients had contact history in Wuhan area or with confirmed infections. Clinical symptoms included: fever (100%), cough (70%), expectoration (43%), myalgia (26%), headache (17%) and dyspnea (17%), and the less common symptoms were diarrhea (4.3%). Blood routine test: white blood cells (WBC) < 4×10⁹/L in 11 cases (48%), (4-10)×10⁹/L in 10 cases (43%), >10 × 109/L in 2 cases (9%); lymphocytopenia in 13 cases (56%). All 23 patients had different degrees of infective lesions in chest CT examination, with 9 cases (39%) on one side and 14 cases (61%) on both sides. Classification: 19 mild cases, 4 severe cases, no critical or death case. Complications included acute respiratory distress syndrome [4 (17%)]. No case was reported with the damage of liver or kidney function and with secondary infection. Conclusions Epidemic history of contact, fever, pneumonia signs of chest CT, normal or decreased count of WBC and lymphocytopenia are the clinical basis for diagnosis of the disease. However, at present, the treatment of patients has not been completed, the effective treatment strategy and final prognosis are not clear.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of different germplasms of Rehmannia glutinosa based on iridoid glycosides. METHODS The contents of total iridoid glycosides ，catalpol，rehmaionoside D ，rehmaionoside A ，and leonuride in 18 batches of R. glutinosa from 6 germplasms（85-5，JinJiu，BX，BJ-1，Shandong，QH-1）were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography. After normalization of the above content determination results ，the quality of different germplasm of R. glutinosa were evaluated by multiple statistical methods such as cluster analysis ，factor comprehensive analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis （PLS-DA）. RESULTS Among 6 germplasms of R. glutinosa ，the content of total iridoid glycosides in R. glutinosa 85-5 was the highest ，and the content of catalpol in R. glutinosa BX was the highest ；the contents of rehmannioside D and rehmannioside A in R. glutinosa JinJiu were the highest ，and the content of leonuride in R. glutinosa BX was the highest. Cluster analysis showed that R. glutinosa JinJiu were clustered into one category ，R. glutinosa BX clustered into one category ，R. glutinosa Shandong and R. glutinosa BJ-1 were clustered into one category ，and R. glutinosa QH-1 and 85-5 were clustered into one category. Through factor comprehensive analysis ，there were differences in the quality of different germplasms of R. glutinosa . The comprehensive score of R. glutinosa BX，Shandong，85-5，BJ-1，QH-1，JinJiu were 2.283 9，1.689 1，1.664 8， 1.503 3，1.469 0，1.214 6，respectively. PLS-DA showed that variable importance projection value of total iridoid glycosides ， catalpol and leonuride were all higher than 1. CONCLUSIONS The quality difference of R. glutinosa from different germplasms may be caused by total iridoid glycosides ，catalpol and leonuride.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common activity limitition of children, their movement and posture impairments persist throughout whole life.In recent years, CP has been significantly increasing with the improved survival rate of newborns.This may lead to a great burden and costs to both the family and the society.A variety of risk factors have been proposed to be associated with CP.However, recent abroad researches indicate that genetic factors may predispose to CP of newborns and initial results of related researches infer that several susceptibility genes may contribute to CP's development, masqueraders have a great impact on CP's clinical symptoms.Now, the recent publications related to virulence genes and masqueraders of CP are reviewed.

Objective To study the effect of TREK-1 potassium channel blocker on the behavior in rats with depression.Methods Forty-eight healthy adult male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into 6 groups as following:control + saline (CON group),control + fluoxetine (CON + FLU group),control + SID1900 (CON+SID group),CUMS + saline (CUMS group),CUMS + fluoxetine (CUMS+FLU group) and CUMS + SID1900 (CUMS+SID group) with 8 in each group.Isolated living conditions combining chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS) were used to establish depression model in rats.Four weeks after modeling,fluoxetine 10 mg· kg-1,SID1900 5.1 mg · kg-1 and 0.9％ sodium chloride were given by intraperitoneal injection respectively.Body weight and behavioral performance of rats in several experiment paradigms were measured after drug administration.The behavioral paradigms included sucrose preference test(SPT),open field test(OFT) and forced swimming test(FST).Results Drug administration had no significant effect on body weight and behavioral performance in non stress rats (P＞0.05),however,after chronic unpredicted mild stress the body weight,percentage of sucrose consumption,movement distances and rearing times in CUMS group were decreased dramatically contrast to CON group,but the immobility duration was increased significantly (all P＜0.001).After treatment with drug for 14 days,the sucrose consumption percentage(62.03± 6.99) ％) and rearing times (18.57 ± 6.37) in CUMS+SID group were increased contrast to C UMS group ((45.46± 15.54) ％,(5.83±3.06)),while the immobility time((123.57±26.73) s) was decreased compared with that in CUMS group((174.33±40.68) s).When drug administration for 28 days,the sucrose consumption percentage((79.64± 11.37) ％),the total distance as well as the rearing times ((13.18 ± 3.17) m,(19.33±3.33)) within OFT in CUMS+FLU group were increased in comparison with CUMS group((48.06± 17.10) ％,(4.45±3.69) m,(5.17± 2.99)),and the immobility duration ((97.83± 18.97) s) in CUMS+FLU group was shorter than that ((194.83±37.97) s) in CUMS group(P＜0.05).Notably,the immobility time in CUMS+SID group ((44.29± 14.30)s) was shortened obviously compared with that in CUMS+FLU group ((97.83± 18.97)s) (P＜0.01).Conclusion Blockade of TREK-1 potassium channel can ameliorate the depression-like behavior rapidly in rats.

AIM: To investigate the antitumor effect and mechanism of trichosanthin (TCS) on melanoma B-16 cells. METHODS: (1) The injury of B-16 cells by trichosanthin was observed with SCGE and hoechst33258 staining method. (2) LCSM and specificity fluorescent probe Fluo-3/AM, H2DCF-DA, DAF-FM diacetate were applied to analyze the dynamic changes of Ca2+, ROS and NO in single cell cultured with TCS. Simultaneously, the relationship between ROS, NO and increase of Ca2+ was also revealed. RESULTS: (1)When treated with TCS (50 mg/L) for 3 h and 6 h, neither cytotoxicity assay nor SCGE showed the differences compared with control group. After 12 h incubation, specificity phenomena of DNA injury-comet tail appeared in SCGE and chromatin condensation even apoptotic body formation were seen by Hoechst33258 staining. (2) TCS (50 mg/L) evoked rapid enhancement of the production of Ca2+, ROS and NO in the cell and the differences between TCS and control group had statistical significance (P

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and karyotyping in the prenatal diagnosis for carriers of balanced translocations. METHODS: Clinical records of 135 amniocentesis samples of balanced translocation carriers undergoing simultaneous CNV-seq and karyotyping were analyzed. Chromosomal aberrations were defined as those can definitely lead to birth defects definitely, which included chromosomal numerical abnormality, large deletion/duplication and pathogenic copy number variations (pCNVs). RESULTS: The detection rates for karyotyping and CNV-seq were 4.44% (6/135) and 5.93% (8/135) respectively, and the latter had a detection rate of 1.48(2/135) higher than the former. A total of 68 fetal chromosomal translocations were detected by karyotying analysis. CONCLUSION For couples carrying a balanced translocation, simultaneous CNV-seq and karyotyping is conducive to the detection of fetal chromosomal abnormalities and genetic counseling.
