International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2017;38(16):2205-2206,2209
Objective To investigate the FYES and FYX allele expression situation of Duffy blood group in Han population of Nanjing area.Methods The genomic DNA was randomly extracted from peripheral EDTA-K2 anticoagulation blood samples in 200 voluntary blood donors and Duffy blood group FYA and FYB allele typing was performed by PCR-SSP.The EYES and FYX allele sequence charateristics of Duffy blood group were analyzed by adopting Sanger double deoxygenation gene sequencing method.Results The PCR genotyping results were consistent with the sequencing results.Among 200 samples,180 cases were FYA/FYA and 20 cases were FYA/FYB;the sequencing results showed that FYES and FYX allele expression was not been found in 200 samples.Conclusion The expression frequencies of FYES and FYX alleles are extremely low in Han population of Nanjing area,which has significant difference compared with other races.

Journal of Regional Anatomy and Operative Surgery 2016;25(6):401-404,405
Objective To compare the short-term clinical effect of K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system and lumbar fusion for multi-ple segmental lumbar degeneration.Methods Between January 2010 and October 2012,56 patients with segmental lumbar degeneration who were accepted K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system and posterior lumbar interbody fusion were retrospectively reviewed.The 56 patients were divided into K-Rod and fusion group,28 patients with K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system and 28 cases with traditional lumbar fusion and internal fixation.Clinical assessments were based on comparion of Oswestry disability index score ,visual analogous scale (VAS),im-provement rate of low back pain,postoperative lumbar spine X-ray,average operation time and intraoperative blood loss of two groups.Results All of 56 cases were followed up for 12 to 24 months,the difference of Oswestry disability index score and VAS between two groups were not statistically significant(P >0.05),but the difference of average operation time,blood loss and the average length of stay(ALOS)were statis-tically significant(P <0.05),the K-Rod group was superior to the fusion group.Conclusion In the treatment of multiple segmental lumbar degeneration both K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system and traditional lumbar fusion can obtain satisfactory short-term clinical effect,but the K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system has advantages of less intraoperative blood loss,shorter operation time,postoperative small effects on lumbar spine mobility.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of regulator of G-protein signaling 4 (RGS4) in pediatric nephroblastoma and pericancerous tissues, and explore the relationship between RGS4 and the occurrence and development of pediatric nephroblastoma. Methods Thirty-seven samples of pediatric nephroblastoma tissues and 8 samples of pericancerous tissues were collected after surgery to detect the expression of RGS4 protein by immunohistochemistry. Another 8 samples of fresh cancer tissues and corresponding pericancerous tissues were collected to detect the mRNA and protein levels of RGS4 by qRT-PCR and Western blot assay, respectively. Results Immunohistochemistry results showed that RGS4 protein was positively expressed both in pediatric nephroblastoma and pericancerous tissues, and its high expression rate was lower in pediatric nephroblastoma than that in pericancerous tissues [(37.83%(14/37) vs. 87.5%(7/8),χ2=4.675, P<0.05]. The expression level of RGS4 mRNA was significantly lower in pediatric nephroblastoma than that in pericancerous tissues (1.064 ± 0.549 vs. 5.374 ± 0.735, t=13.290, n=8, P < 0.01). Western blot results showed that the expression level of RGS4 protein was lower in pediatric nephroblastoma than that of pericancerous tissues (0.301±0.092 vs. 0.779 ± 0.041, t=13.424, n=8, P < 0.01). Conclusion The expression level of RGS4 is down-regulated in pediatric nephroblastoma, which may be related to the occurrence and development of pediatric nephroblastoma.

Objective: To explore the prevalence and co-morbidity in depression disorder among children and adolescents in Chengdu City. Methods: Using a one-phase design, 4S8S children and adolescents in grades 1~10 were assessed with the Strength and Difficulty questionnaire (SDQ) and Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) . A structured interview with verbatim reports was reviewed by clinicians so that information from parents, teachers, and children were combined in a manner that emulated the clinical process. Results: (1) The rate of depressive disorder was 1.2% , and that in girls was much higher than that in boys after 12 years old (2.56% vs. 1.42%) . (2) The rate of depressive disorder increased with age from 0.10% (6~8 years) to 2.59% (≥ 15 years) . (3) The co-morbidity was 40% . The most common comorbidity diagnosis was anxiety disorders (29.1%) and behavior disorders (25.5%) . Conclusion: The prevalence of depressive disorder among children and adolescents in Chengdu is 1.2%. Gender and age may be the related factors. The co-morbidity is common in children and adolescents with depression disorder.
