Familial non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (FNMTC) is de fi ned as the presence of two or more affected fi rst-degree relatives with non-medullary thyroid cancers without other known familial syndromes. FNMTC is one of the most inheritable forms of all cancers, with a high risk of a first-degree relative developing the disease. Compared with sporadic non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (NMTC), FNMTC presents at a younger age and is associated with a higher incidence of multifocal disease and metastasis. This in-creased aggressiveness has been hypothesized to translate into higher recurrence rates and decreased survival of patients with FNMTC. The genes involved in the pathogenesis of FNMTC are yet to be elucidated, although some recent studies identified several predisposi-tion loci with a high degree of genetic heterogeneity. Since 2005, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have been developing as rapid, high-throughput, and cost-effective approaches to fulfill medical sciences and research demands. With the use of NGS, the un-derlying causative genes can be directly distinguished via systematic filtering, through which the identified gene variants are verified for novelty and functionality.

At present the most common colorimetry for the activity determination of the peroxidase ( POD) is based on the detection of the absorbance of product at 470 nm in a reaction system of the H2 O2/POD/guaiacol ( GA) , but the shortcoming of the method is that the formed product is not stable and there is the serious adsorption phenomenon on the cell. To solve this problem, a new method was established for accurate determination of POD activity based on the fluorescent feature of GA. By using standard solutions of horseradish peroxidase as the test samples and under these optimum conditions such as 0. 5 mmol/L of GA, 0. 5 mmol/L of H2 O2 , pH 6, 0. 05 mol/L of phosphate buffer solution and the reaction temperature of 20℃, the sample volume was only consumed 20 microlitre at a time, the linear response range was 500-60000 U/L ( r=0 . 9993 ) , the detection limit was 385 U/L and relative standard deviation was ≤2 . 4% ( n=11 ) . The comparisons for the determination results of the POD activity in the white radish’s extraction solutions were conducted among our method (9714±132 U/L) and the colorimetric method (9926±352 U/L) as well as the recirculating-catalytic flow analysis ( 9608±456 U/L ) . The results showed that the mutual consistency is better.

Objective To investigate the effect of budesonide atomization on tracheal extubation in children.Methods A total of 85 patients with tracheal intubation in Tianjin Children's Hospital from May 2013 to September 2016 were selected in this study.Patients were randomly divided into budesonide group (n=44) and dexamethasone group (n=41).The budesonide group was given 1 mg of budesonide for inhalation 30 min before extubation,and 1 mg of budesonide inhalation immediately after extubation.Then every 8 hours for 0.5-1.0 mg budesonide inhalation for 4 days.The dexamethasone group was given dexamethasone 0.2-0.3 mg/kg intravenously 30 min before extubation,and dexamethasone 2.5-5.0 mg inhalation immediately after extubation.Then dexamethasone 2.5-5.0 mg inhalation was given every 8 hours for 4 days.The incidence of laryngeal edema (stridor,hoarseness),the time of extinction,the expression of hypoxia,reintubation rate within 24 hours and secondary infection rate after extubation were compared between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences in the mission success rate,the incidence of laryngeal edema,the time of extinction,the incidence of hypoxia and re-intubation rate between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Two patients were found secondary infection after extubation in dexamethasone group.Conclusion Both budesonide and dexamethasone show curative effects on the prevention and treatment of laryngeal edema after extubation.Budesonide atomization can replace systemic corticosteroids,thus reducing the adverse reactions of glucocorticoids.We recommend the use of budesonide in treating adverse events after extubation.

AIM: To evaluate the effects of different doses of valsartan alone or with concomitant benazepril on blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy, RAAS function and endoxin level in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS: Thirty SHR (fourteen-week-old, male) were divided into five groups (six rats in each group ): SHR control group: fed with normal saline; benazepril group: fed with 1 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 benazepril); low dose valsartan group: fed with 8 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 valsartan ; high dose valsartan group: fed with 24 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 valsartan ; combination drug therapy group: fed with valsartan (8 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ) and benazepril (1 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ), all for 8 weeks. WKY control group (n=6):fed with normal saline for 8 weeks.RESULTS: SBP, LVM/BW,TDM of SHR were remarkably lower than those of control after drug intervene, and effect on SBP was most remarkable in high dose valsartan group and in the combination drug therapy group; effect on LVM/BW,TDM were most remarkable in combination drug therapy group. Renin activities in plasma and myocardium were remarkably increased in drug intervene groups. The levels of Ang Ⅱ in plasma and myocardium were remarkably increased in two different dose of valsartan treating group, and the larger dose of valsartan were, the higher levels of Ang Ⅱ in plasma and myocardium were; decreased in benazepril treating group and combination drug therapy group. Na +-K +-ATPase activities in myocardium were remarkably increased and the level of endoxin in myocardium were remarkably decreased as SBP decreased after drug intervene. CONCLUSION: Different dose of valsartan alone or combined with benazepril can decrease SBP of SHR, have the effect of inhibiting progression of ventricular hypertrophy. The effect of combination drug therapy group was most remarkable among five groups and can avoid the side effect of high AngⅡ in plasma and myocardium during long-term use of valsartan alone.
