Objective To evaluate the efficacy of living related kidney transplants (LRKT). Methods Retrospectively clinical results of 25 LRKT were reviewed and analyzed. Results Living related donors underwent nephrectomy without any complications and the donors have had normal renal function on follow up studies.All the renal grafts survived.Two recipients experienced delayed graft function recovery,Both the patients and the grafts have been surviving. Conclusions The patient and graft survival rates of LRDT are better than cadaveric donor transplantation.Living related donor serves as an alternate way of kidney source.

OBJECTIVE To analyze for mutations of the PDS gene in patients with sensorineural hearing loss associated with enlarged vestibular aqueduct and analyze the molecular pathogenesis of enlarged vestibular aqueducts. METHODS Eighteen sporadic cases of large vestibular aqueduct syndrome and twelve control individuals with normal hearing were included in this study. Exons 6 and 9 of the PDS gene in all subjects were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and analyzed by direct DNA sequencing. RESULTS Analysis revealed 2 single base changes in exon 6 of one patient with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome. One was a G→C transversion at nucleotide position 611, and the other was a T→G transversion at nucleotide position 612, resulting in a predicted Gly→Ala substitution at position 204. No mutation in exons 6 and 9 of the PDS gene was found in the PDS gene of the control individuals. CONCLUSION Mutations of the PDS gene are responsible for the large vestibular aqueduct syndrome. Analysis of the PDS leftover sequence in patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome is the next step in elucidating the complicated causes of this disease.

75dB SPL or no response. RESULTS The individual differences of CM absolute amplitudes among the normal hearing ones at different frequencies are distinct, but bilateral CM amplitudes in same person are almost uniform and stable. Enlargedand prolongated CM was found in ears with loudness recruitment .Of 104 cases with unilateral hearing loss, CM were enlarged and prolongated at corresponding frequencies with loudness recruitment in 95 cases(91.3 %).The prognosis of cases with CM type Ⅰ was better than those with types Ⅱ and Ⅲ. The effective rates of treatment were 78.19 % in type Ⅰ , 2.5 % in type Ⅱ, and none in type Ⅲ. There were significant differences among them. CM was slightly enlarged during sleep, and the detected threshold of CM is less than that of the awake condition. CONCLUSION CM offers the reliable information for the mechanism of loudness recruitment and is also useful for understanding the relationship among loudness recruitment, cochlear microphonics and prognosis. CM may be taken as a valuable parameter for evaluating prognosis.

Objective:Through the establishment and application of the biosafety autopsy pathology platform in Huoshenshan Hospital, the feasibility and application effect of the biosafety autopsy pathology platform were analyzed.Methods:The feasibility and application effect of the biosafety autopsy pathology platform were analyzed by layout design, instruments and equipment preparation, testing methods examination, and effect evaluation.Results:A total number of 26 cases of systematic autopsy and 8 cases of minimally invasive autopsy (puncture) were performed on the biosafety autopsy pathology platform, and no one was infected. Some pathology original findings were identified, including COVID-19 and pathological characteristics of identification, SARS respiratory failure mechanism and treatment significance, systemic distribution and spreading mechanism of the new coronavirus, the " storm" of inflammation pathological basis, some tumor markers rise in pulmonary pathological cell source and the overcast with fibrosis characteristics, such findings play important roles in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.Conclusions:The study of autopsy pathology is of great significance for the prevention and control of emerging infectious disease, which calls for early intervention. To promote the standard construction of biosafety autopsy platform is the key to the pathological study of emerging infectious diseases. Pathological research and clinical diagnosis and treatment should be combined to inform each other.
