Objectives To construct reference range of fetal optic tract mean diameter and to report the measured optic tract mean diameter in fetuses with agenesis of the septum pellucidum (SP).Methods Three-dimensional volumes of the optic chiasm were acquired in 254 normal fetuses during routine sonographic examination at 21 ~ 40 weeks' gestation and the diameters of posterior left and right optic tracts were measured offline.A polynomial regression approach was used to calculate reference charts for the fetal optic tract mean diameter.In addition,16 three-dimensional volumes were acquired in fetuses with SP agenesis for offline measurement of optic tract diameter.The complete follow-up data were obtained in 7 of these 16 cases.Results In normal fetuses,the optic tract diameter increased linearly throughout gestation.Normal charts and equations were constructed.Among 7 fetuses with SP agenesis and complete follow-up,one had postnatal normal vision,two had hypoplastic optic tract,and four underwent termination of pregnancy.Three cases of normal childbirth were tested after the baby was born as a bundle of apparent dysplasia,including 1 case of neonatal characterized by lack of vision at the one year old and 2 cases of impaired vision.Four cases of termination of pregnancy included 1 case with tracking pathological confirmation of optic nerve hypoplasia,and the other 3 cases without tracking the pathological results.Conclusions We present new reference charts for fetal optic tract mean diameter.In fetuses with agenesis of the SP,sonography of the optic tract might be a useful tool to assess its development and may help prenatal counseling.

OBJECTIVE To study the gene chip joint pyrosequencing technology in the newborn genetic deafness gene mutation screening, and provide a theoretical basis for the early diagnosis and prevention of genetic deafness. METHODS 2000 Neonatal EDTA umbilical cord blood was collected and genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted. Microarray chip was used to detect four deafness gene at 9 mutation sites. And the positive result of gene chip detection was verified by pyrosequencing.RESULTS Among the GJB2 mutations, there were 1 case of 35delG mutation type, 3 cases of 176 del16 mutation type, 57 cases of 235del C mutation type, 9 cases of 299 del AT mutation type, 6 cases of GJB3 gene 538C>T mutation type. There were 5 cases of 1555A>G mutations and 1 case of 1494C>T mutations in mitochondrial 12S rRNA. There were 6 cases of 2168A>G mutation type and 23 cases of IVS7-2A>G mutations in SLC26A4. 103 cases of newborns carry the mutated gene in 2,000, the gene mutation rate is 5.15%. CONCLUSION All the four genes mutation at nine mutation sites are found in newborns with family history of non-hereditary deafness, and GJB2 gene mutation is common. The screening of genetic deafness in newborns is very important for early diagnosis and prevention of hereditary hearing loss. In particular, the diagnosis of mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene mutation can prevent the occurrence of deafness caused by drug use, for the genetic mutation of these carriers' health is of great significance.

Objective To explore the method and effect of primary closure of choledochostomy with placement of a modified biliary stent after common bile duct exploration. Methods Open or laparoscopic common bile duct exploration was done in 39 patients with both gallbladder and common bile duct (CBD) stones. After extraction of stones, an 8F J-stent (pigtailed) was placed in the CBD and into the duodenum over a guide wire. The proximal end of the stent was secured to the CBD wall with rapidly absorbable suture. The CBD incision was primarily closed. Results The stent dislodged and was discharged with stool at the 13th (10-18) postoperative day . Three patients developed transient hyperamylasemia in the immediate postoperative period. None of the patients had complications of bile leak, stent occlusion, early stent dislodgement, or stent retraction into the CBD. Conclusions Placement of a self-release biliary J-stent in CBD and into the duodenum during common bile duct exploration is easier to manipulate with the help of choledochoscpe and guide wire. It is safe and cost-effective, therefore, it can expand the indications for primary closure of CBD incision, and reduce the complications related to T-tubes.

Objective To analyze the incidence of endometriosis in inpatients with infertility in Peking Union Medical College Hospital in 30 years. Methods The inpatients of Peking Union Medical College Hospital admitted between May 1983 and November 2013 was searched. The infertile patients receiving laparoscopy or laparotomy were included. The discharge diagnosis and the operation were summarized. The incidence of gynecologic diseases were demonstrated, such as endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, uterine fibroid, hydrosalpinx, ovarian benign tumor, and adenomyosis. The age was collected, and the change of age and the incidence of endometriosis was analyzed. Results The incidence of endometriosis in infertile female inpatients was 35.50%(95%CI:34.50%-36.49%). The incidence showed relatively stable increasing tendency after 2004 (with P<0.01). The age had increased significantly since 1996 (with P<0.01);the average age was (29.76±3.74) years old in 1996, and (32.85±4.49) years old in 2013 (P<0.01). The inpatients diagnosed with endometriosis had greater age, (32.67 ± 4.06) versus (32.04 ± 4.55) years old (P<0.01);the incidence of endometriosis differed in different age group, the older group had higher incidence (χ2=85.807, P<0.01). Conclusions Infertile female inpatients showed increasing incidence of endometriosis in recent years. Older infertile patients maybe have higher risk of endometriosis.
