Objective By detecting the mutations spectrum of phenylalanine hydroxylase(PAH)gene in phe-nylketonuria(PKU)patients and their parents. The researchers analyzed the gene mutation features and high - frequency mutations and determined the relationship between the genotype and the phenotype,which would provide a theoretical basis for the early diagnosis and genetic consultation of PKU children in the region. Methods In this study,13 exons and their flanking introns of the PAH gene in 32 PKU patients and their parents from Wuxi and Suqian in Jiangsu province were sequenced by using the next - generation sequencing(NGS)technology. Results Sixty - one mutant sites and 32 mutant genes were detected in 32 PKU patients,and the mutation detection rate was 95. 31%(61 / 64 cases). The variants at c. 721C ﹥ T,c. 1068C ﹥ A,c. 611A ﹥ G,c. 1197A ﹥ T,c. 728G ﹥ A,c. 331C ﹥ T and c. 442 -1G ﹥ A were common mutations in the region with mutation frequency over 5% . What's more,4 novel variants of c. 699C ﹥ G,c. 265C ﹥ T,c. 722G ﹥ A and c. 1194A ﹥ G were found. Of those,c. 699C ﹥ G was not recorded in the PAH variant database and HGMD database and. c. 265C ﹥ T,c. 722G ﹥ A,and c. 1194A ﹥ G were first reported in the Chi-nese population. Genotype - accurate biochemical phenotype correlation by using the Guldberg AV system revealed con-sistency rate of 38. 0%(8 / 21 cases),which the consistency rate between accurate biochemical phenotype and predic-tive phenotype of moderate to severe genotype was 92. 3%(12 / 13 cases),and mild genotype was 50. 0%(4 / 8 cases). Conclusions The PAH gene variants of PKU patients in Jiangsu province are distributed mainly in exons 7,of which the highest frequency gene mutation is c. 721 c ﹥ T. Moreover,one novel variant c. 699C ﹥ G was reported for the first time. The PKU children inherit the PAH mutation gene mainly from both parents. There are definite correlation between the genotypes and phenotypes.

ld have an improved outcome after reasonable treatments. The gene mutation detection suggests that 609G>A (W203X) may be the hot spot mutation of MMACHC gene in Chinese patients.

Objective Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare metabolic disorder caused by deficiency of the activity of branched-chain 2-keto acid dehydrogenase complex.The complex contains E1α,E1β and E2 subunits which are encoded by BCKDHA,BCKDHB or DBT genes respectively.Mutation in any gene will cause MSUD.The aim of this study was to analyze the gene mutations of four cases with MSUD and carry out prenatal diagnosis for these four families for MSUD.Methods From 2005 to 2010,four neonates (two males and two females) were diagnosed as MSUD at 2,5,10and 26 days of life.The coding regions of BCKDHA gene and BCKDHB gene in the above four cases were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and analyzed by direct DNA sequencing.During the second pregnancy of the same mother,the amniotic fluid was drawn out at 16-20 weeks for gene mutation analysis after the amniocytes were cultured.Results Mutation analysis revealed six mutations in four patients,including four novel mutations (c.308T＞C,c.562G＞T,c.1279C＞G and c.1280-1291de112) and two previously reported mutations.Five mutations (c.308T＞C,c.562G ＞T,c.868G＞A,c.1279C＞G and c.1280-1291de112) were detected on BCKDHA gene in three patients.While one mutation (c.853C＞T) was found on BCKDHB gene in one patient.Only one mutation was found in the amniocytes of each patient's mother at their second pregnancies suggesting a MSUD heterozygous fetus.Conclusions Analysis of BCKDHA and BCKDHB allowed preliminary understand of gene mutations in the four MSUD families,and made prenatal diagnosis possible,which helped in consultation in the second pregnancy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the MUT gene mutations in patients with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), and analyze the genotype-phenotype correlation in patients with methylmalonyl-CoA mutase deficiency.

METHODSThe diagnosis of the disease mainly depends on the measurement of C3 (acylcarnitine), C3/C0 (free carnitine) and C3/C2 (acetylcarnitine) in the blood by tandem mass spectrometry, the detection of methylmalonic acid in the urine by gas-chromatography mass spectrometry, the determination of total homocysteine in the serum, and the loading test of vitamin B(12). The entire coding region of the MUT gene was screened by PCR combined with direct DNA sequencing in 21 isolated MMA patients. Novel mutations were identified by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequence analysis in 100 controls.

RESULTSSeventeen MUT gene mutations were detected in 14 of the 21 patients, among them 8 mutations were novel, and R108H, D244LfsX39 and G544X were more frequent, with the frequencies of 9.5%, 7.1% and 9.5%, respectively. Most mutations were missense mutations (64.7%), and majority of them were in exons 2 and 3 (55.6%). Ten out of the 14 patients with MUT gene mutations had early-onset disease, while one case had late-onset disease, and the remaining 3 cases were detected by newborn screening. In addition, 11 of these 14 patients did not respond to vitamin B(12).

CONCLUSIONThis study revealed partial MUT gene mutation spectrum in Chinese patients with isolated MMA. The patients carrying MUT mutations often had early-onset disease, and most of them were VitB(12)- non-responsive.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of estrogen-intervened endothelial progenitor cells( EPCs) transplantation on diabetic ischemic stroke rats. Methods PKH26-labeled diabetic EPCs and estrogen-intervened diabetic EPCs were injected into rats via the tail vein 24 h after cerebral ischemia. Cerebral ischemic volume, behavioral changes, ischemic site vascularization and homing of EPCs were measured 3 d after EPCs injection. Results Compared with diabetic ischemic rats, estrogen-intervened EPCs transplantation had reduced infarct volumes, improved behavioral scores and ischemic site revascularization and promoted homing of EPCs to sites of injury(P<0.05). Conclusion Estrogen-intervened EPCs transplantation had a better therapeutic effect on diabetic ischemic stroke by promoting EPCs homing to injury site and EPCs-medicated neovascularization .

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of estrogen on endothelial progenitor cells（EPCs）function in diabetic rats. Methods EPCs were isolated from bone marrow of rats and characterized by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Rat diabetic model was established via streptozotocin induction. The bone marrow was taken to culture EPCs. EPCs of diabetes were incubated with Estrogen 10 nmol/L for 24h. The functions and proliferation of EPCs in vitro were detected. The levels of MnSOD and NO in EPCs and TSP-1 in supernatant were assayed. Results Compared with control group, EPCs proliferation, adhesion and angiogenesis functions were impaired in diabetic rats. The level of MnSOD and NO in diabetic EPCs were significantly decreased, while TSP-1 protein level in the supernatant increased. The above changes can be reversed with estrogen incubation. Conclusion Estrogen improved the EPCs migration and tubule formation in diabetic rats. The mechanism may be related to the reduction of oxidative stress and downregulation of TSP-1 expression in diabetic EPCs.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the implementation of insulin centralized volume-based procurement policy （hereinafter referred to as “centralized procurement”） in our hospital and its effect on the use of insulin products in clinical. METHODS The manufacturer， specifications， usage， sales amount and agreed purchase volume of insulin products in our hospital before （July 4， 2021 to January 3， 2022） and after （July 4， 2022 to January 3， 2023） the centralized procurement were collected. The defined daily dose （DDD） method was used to calculate defined daily doses （DDDs）， defined daily cost （DDC）， the progress of procurement completion and actual cost saving. RESULTS After the centralized procurement， the number of insulin products had increased from 20 to 29 in our hospital； except for the Insulin degludec/aspart injection in our hospital’s original insulin catalog that had not been centrally purchased， all other existing varieties had been included in centralized procurement catalog. The use of Insulin aspart 30 injection produced by Novo Nordisk （China） Pharmaceutical Co.， Ltd. always ranked the first place in the list of usage and DDDs before and after the centralized procurement. The sales amount of Insulin glargine injection produced by Ganli Pharmaceutical Co.， Ltd. and Tonghua Dongbao Pharmaceutical Co.， Ltd. increased significantly due to the significant increase in usage. The centralized procurement of Degu insulin injection from Novo Nordisk （China） Pharmaceutical Co.， Ltd. had achieved a relatively high completion rate in our hospital’s original insulin catalog， while the completion rate for new varieties was low. After the centralized procurement， our hospital actually saved a total of 1 388 582.66 yuan in expenses. CONCLUSIONS After the centralized procurement， the selection and usage of insulin varieties in our hospital are reasonable， which saves patients’ insulin treatment costs， and reduces economic pressure on patients and society.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between the functional GLCCI1 gene rs37973 polymorphism and inhaled corticosteroids （ICSs） response in patients with asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap （ACO）. METHODS Totally 173 newly diagnosed ACO patients were recruited from Shanghai Pudong New Area People’s Hospital during April 1st， 2019 to December 31st， 2020. All patients were treated with Salmeterol fluticasone inhalation powder， twice a day， for 24 weeks. The genotype of rs37973 locus was determined， and lung function indicators [forced expiratory volume in one second （FEV1）， FEV1/forced vital capacity （FVC）， the percentage of FEV1 to expected value （FEV1%pred）]， and lung function improvement （ΔFEV1 and ΔFEV1%pred） were all detected. RESULTS Totally 111 patients completed the whole 24-week follow-up and lung function detection. Among them， there were 42 cases of AA genotype， 52 cases of AG genotype， and 17 cases of GG genotype. After 12， 24 weeks of treatment， lung function indexes of patients were significantly better than baseline lung function indexes before treatment （P＜0.05）. After 24 weeks of treatment， ACO patients with AA and AG genotypes showed significantly better lung function improvement than GG genotype， and ΔFEV1%pred of AA genotype was significantly better than AG genotype （P＜ 0.05）. After 12， 24 weeks of treatment， the improvement of lung function in patients with a smoking history ≤20 pack year was significantly better than those with a smoking history ＞20 pack year， and among patients with a smoking history ≤20 pack year， only AA genotype had significantly better FEV1%pred than AG genotype （P＜0.05）. After 12 weeks of treatment， among patients with a smoking history ＞20 pack year， the improvement of lung function in AA genotype and AG genotype was significantly better than GG genotype， and the FEV1%pred in AA genotype was significantly better than AG genotype （P＜0.05）. After 24 weeks of treatment， the improvement of lung function of AA genotype and AG genotype was significantly better than GG genotype （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS GG genotype of GLCCI1 gene rs37973 locus is associated with the poor treatment response to ICSs in patients with ACO， especially in patients with smoking history ＞20 pack year.
