Objective:To examine the relation between the alteration of condylar endochondral in response to mandibular protrusion and the action time length by establishing a model of mandibular protrusion on young adult rats. Methods: 75 female Sprague-Dawley rats aged 9 weeks were divided into two experimental groups and one control group. In two experimental groups, bite jumping appliances created forward positioning of the condyle for twelve hours and whole day, respectively. The experimental rats, together with the control rats, were sacrificed on days 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30, respectively. Tissue sections were cut in the sagittal plane through the mandibular condyle and were processed for in situ hybridization and immunostaining of type X collagen. Results: The peak of type X collagen protein expression in 24-hour experimental groups appeared on day 21 which was on the top of all experimental groups, while in 12-hour experimental groups it was found on day 30. The results of in situ hybridization were basically in agreement with the results of immunostaining. Conclusion: Both intermittent and continuous mandibular advancement can provoke endochondral ossification in young adult rat condylar, while 24-hour ones can produce more obvious and quicker effect.

The clinical data of a case of Weave syndrome admitted in the Department of Endocrinology, Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The patient was a 9 years and 2 months old girl, who was hospitalized because of " growing too fast for 9 years" . After birth, the child is found to grow fast and have mental retardation, slurred speech, a blurred vision, a long face, a protruding forehead, ocular hypertelorism, epicanthus, nasal bridge pit, finger pads on both hands and feet, uncoordinated gaits, and intoeingpigeon toes.A novel heterozygous c. 1720A>G (p.K574E) mutation was detected in the exon 15 of the EZH2 gene of the patient.This mutation has not been reported at home and overseas.Sanger sequencing revealed that the patient′s parents did not carry the mutation.The disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, and the parents and sibling of the patient have no corresponding symptoms, so it is inferred that the mutation is spontaneous.Based on the peculiarity of the face, clinical manifestations and the results of molecular genetics, the child was diagnosed as Weaver syndrome.

ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between pancreatic cancer (PC) and diabetes mellitus (DM),and the clinical and pathological features of pancreatic cancer in patients with DM.MethodsFrom January,2008 to December,2010,151 patients with PC and 195 comparable patients without PC were enrolled in a case-control study to analyze the relationship between PC and DM.ResultsThe OR was 5.91 (95% CI 3.03-8.00,P<0.05) in PC patients with DM for less than 2 years,and 1.308 (95% CI 0.37-4.60,P>0.05) in patients with DM for 2 to 5 years,and 1.16(95% CI 0.44-3.19,P>0.05) for patients with DM for more than 5 years.There was no significant difference between PC patients with and without DM in gender,age,body-mass index (BMD,obstructive jaundice,tumour location and tumour metastases (P>0.05).ConclusionsThere was a significant correlation between PC and DM.De novo DM may be a clinical manifestation in patients with PC.PC patients with concurrent DM have no particular clinical and pathological features.

Objective To establish written and electronic archives of Schistosoma japonicum antibody indirect hemagglutina-tion(IHA)tests. Methods In the process of schistosomiasis screening by IHA,the written records,electronic records,and se-rum sample bank were combined to make comprehensive archives. Results The S. japonicum antibody IHA test archives can pre-serve the schistosomiasis screening data in the long term and even can trace the source of experiments,and the operation was sim-ple. Conclusion The archives of S. japonicum antibody IHA tests are simple and useful,and worth of popularization.

Objective To understand the changes of positive rates of IHA detections of outpatients in schistosomiasis clinic. Results The data of IHA detections of outpatients in schistosomiasis clinic in Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention were collected and analyzed statistically from 2005 to 2014. Results A total of 7 113 outpatients were detected by IHA test,and 547 of them were positives with a positive rate of 7.69%. The positive rate of IHA test was on an upward slope be?fore 2008,and the rate reached 14.85% in 2008,which was significantly higher than that in 2005(5.81%)( χ2 = 47.40,P<0.01),then it was on a declined stage after 2008,and the positive rate decreased to 3.76 in 2014,which was significantly lower than that in 2008( χ2 = 12.29,P<0.01). The positive rate of outpatients in the 10~<30 years age group was higher than those in other age groups(all P < 0.012 5),and the male positives were more than the female ones. Conclusions The schisto?somiasis endemic situation has been significantly decreased in Hubei Province. The male and people in 10~<30 age group are the high risk groups,so the targeted health education should be strengthened.
