ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the duration, MRI characters and prognosis in transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods36 TIA cases were retrospectively analyzed according to the duration and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diffusion Weighted Imaging(MRI-DWI). They were divided into two groups, Group A (13 cases) in which TIA continued within 1 h and Group B (23cases) in which TIA continued for 1～24 h. The patients were followed up 3 months and 12 months later. ResultsMRI abnormalities could be found with MRI-DWI in 2 cases in Group A, but 17 cases in group B(χ2=11.416,P=0.001). 1 case in Group A and 14 cases in Group B occurred cerebral infarction within a year(χ2=9.663,P=0.004). ConclusionThe longer TIA duration, the worse the prognosis.

Objective:To construct GJB2 gene mutaitons common in Chinese EGFP fusion protein vectors, and to search for better way to study the mechanism of deletion mutaitons in GJB2 gene. Method: Non-fusion protein vectors of 235delC, 299-300 del AT and 176 del 16 bp were first made by point mutaiton methods in vitro. Then expression part of the upper 3 mutations were amplified by PCR and the PCR products were cloned into TA cloning vector. After cutting by restriction enzymes EcoRI/BamHI, three deletion mutaions were inserted into pEG-FP-N1 vector. Sequencing was used to verify the validity of the fusion protein vectors. HEK293 cells were trans-fected with the recombinant DNA samples by the liposome complex method. Results The recombined plasmids were highly expressed in HEK293 cells. Green fluorescence singals were distributed uniformly in cytoplasm. Conclusion; GJB2 mutations common in Chinese EGFP fusion protein vectors were constructed successfully. It may provide a better way to explore the reasons of nonsyndromic hearing loss common in Chinese.
