Objective To explore the clinical features and gene mutation types of Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), an inherited metabolic disease. Methods The clinical data and gene detection results of one case of CdLS were retrospectively analyzed. Results Two-year-old male had special appearance, microcephaly, bushy eyebrows with both sides meeting in the midline, long curly eyelashes, low body mass, and motor and mental retardation. NIPBL gene detection found the variation of the nucleotide in c.7176T>A (nucleotide 7176 in coding region changed from T to A). Conclusions CdLS is a rare congenital inherited metabolic disease. The clinical manifestations were special appearance and signs. The c.7176T>A mutation in NIPBL gene has not been reported at home and abroad.

Objective To investigate change of Th 1/Th 2 Cytokines in the rats with spleen deficiency syndrome and effect of decoction of SiJunZi on it. Methods The contents of IL-4 and IFN-? in the T cells of the rats with spleen deficiency syndrome before and after treatment of decoction of SiJunZi and powder of ChaiHuShuGan were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with normal group, the content of IFN-? decreased (P0 05). After treated with powder of ChaiHuShuGan, the levels of IL-4 and IFN-? did not obviously change compared with normal group (P

Objective To investigate the effect of diagnostic ultrasound on cochlear hair cells in fetal guinea pigs. Methods Diagnostic ultrasound was used to irradiate the uteri of early pregnant guinea pigs(the first 15 days of gestion) and late pregnant guinea pigs(the 40th to 45th days of gestion) for 5 minutes daily. The number of cochlear hair cells in fetal guinea pigs was calculated using succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) staining, and computer image analysis system. The morphological change of cochlear hair cells was observed with scanning electron microscope(SEM). Results Compared with non-exposed control group, the number of total hair cells obviously decreased in the two exposed groups (P

Objective To find out the material base of the induction and aggravation of psoriasis by psycological factors such as stress and depression etc. Methods Radioimmunoassay (RIA) was used to determine the effect of sera from 49 psoriatic patients and 34 healthy controls on the suppression of the lymphocyte transformation of normal mouse lymphocytes. Results The lymphocyte transformation rate of mouse lymphocytes treated with the sera of psoriatic patients was 41.55%, and that of controls was 68.09%. The suppressive effect of sera in patients during the progressive stage and with more extensive lesions were stronger than that in the stable stage and with less lesions (P

OBJECTIVE To analyze the characters of hospital infection among deceased inpatients.METHODS The inpatients who died in hospital from Jan 2004 to Dec 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS The infection rate of deceased inpatients was 40.11%,and the location majored in respiratory tract,urinary system and digestive tract.The infection rate was apparently higher among the cases more than 60 years old,and those with hematological disease,circulatory disease and nervous system disease.The hospital infection rate was related with long hospitalization and had seasonal fluctuation.CONCLUSIONS The high hospital infection rate among deceased pabients may be related with the seriously underlying diseases, aging,drug abuse and invasive therapy.

Objective:To construct a fusion DNA vaccine pEGFP-C3-B7.2-hTERT and to observe the capability of pEGFP-C3-B7.2-hTERT DNA vaccine to induce specific anti-tumor immune responses and to inhibit growth of the hepatoma transplanted from H22 cells. Methods: The B7.2 and hTERT cDNA (amplified by RT-PCR), together with pEGFP-C3 as the vector were used to construct fusion gene plasmid pEGFP-C3-B7.2-hTERT, which was then used to vaccinated C57BL/6 mice for 3 times at a 7 d interval. Animals vaccinated with pEGFP-C3-B7.2, pEGFP-C3-hTERT, pEGFP-C3 and PBS were taken as controls. Splenocytes CTLs of immunized mice, the levels of IL-2, IFN-? in the culture supernatant, the levels of antibodies against hTERT, and the changes of the T lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood were all examined. The mice harboring hepatocarcinoma H22 cells were challenged with pEGFP-C3-B7.2-hTERT and the tumor forming time and the survival periods of mice were observed. Results: Agarose gel electrophoresis, nuclease digestion and sequencing confirmed the successful construction of pEGFP-C3-B7.2-hTERT. The CTLs activity of splenocytes from the mice immunized with pEGFP-C3-B7.2-hTERT fusion gene was significantly higher than those of the other groups (P

Objective To investigate the prevalence of dermatoses affecting officers and soldiers garrisoned southeast China,and to provide enough scientific basis for prevention and treatment of those dermatoses.Methods Epidemiological investigations were carried out on 324 officers and soldiers in both Zhejiang and Fujian military Regions,respectively.In order to get the dermatoses diagnosed correctly and the number of infected men/times calculated accurately,a large scale of clinical examination was performed by 3 senior dermatologists from the authors' hospital.Some medication and management were applied in therapy for those skin disorders.The elementary medical personnel in the troops were trained with a short time-training course to raise their vocational level.Results Tinea manuum and tinea pedis,acne,pigmented nevus,tinea corporis and tinea cruris,seborrheic dermatitis,eczema,pityriasis versicolor and lichen simplex chronicus were the eight common dermatoses affecting officers and soldiers garrisoned southeast China.The prevalence of tinea manuum and tinea pedis was highest one in all the 8 common dermatoses.158 out of 324 soldiers(48.8%)suffered from skin disorder.The prevalence of acne,pigmented nevus,tinea corporis and tinea cruris,seborrheic dermatitis,eczema,pityriasis versicolor and lichen simplex chronicus were 45.4%,19.3%,10.8%,12.3%,10.2%,7.4% and 7.1%,respectively.Conclusions Skin disorder is one of the most common diseases affecting officers and soldiers.There are different occurrences in different garrisoned region.The prevelence of tinea manuum and tinea pedis in Fujian military region is higher than that in Zhejiang military region,and the prevelence of tinea corporis and tinea cruris,eczema in Fujian military region is lower than that in Zhejiang military region.No significant difference was found in the prevalence of the eight common dermatoses between the two parts of soldiers originated separately from north or south regions of China.

Bluetooth is the most advanced wireless network technology with the characteristics of low cost,short distance and low power loss.It has taken the place of cable in the fast wireless connection of different equipments.In this paper,the wireless central monitor system with Bluetooth technology is studied.Its hardware circuit and software design are also put forward.

Objective To establish the qualitative and quantitative detective methods of Fuyang granules.Methods The TLC methods for identification of Fructus kochiae and Herba solani lyrati were established.A simple HPLC was established for the determination of hydroxysafflor A(HYSA).The mobile phase was methanol-acetonitrile-0.7% phosphoric acid(24:6:70).UV detecting wavelength was at 403 nm.Results Fructus kochiae and Herba solani lyrati could be identified by TLC.HYSA showed a linear relationship at the concentration range of 0.128～1.024 ?g,r =0.999 8.The average recovery was 99.52% and RSD= 1.97%(n = 5).Conclusion The method can be used for qualitative identification and quantization determination of Fuyang granules.
