ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy ofelectroacupunctureplustopical laser treatmentin treating hyperplasia of mammary glands.MethodFifty-eight patients with hyperplasia of mammary glands were randomized into a treatment group of 30 cases and a control group of 28 cases. The treatment group was intervened byelectroacupunctureplustopical laser treatment, while the controlgroup was by oral administration of Ru Zeng Ning tablets. The intervention began from 15 d prior to the menstrual period. After 3 successive treatment courses, the clinical efficacies were compared, and the efficacies in treating three different patterns of mammary glands hyperplasia were also compared, i.e. qi-stagnation due to liver depression, accumulation of phlegm and stagnation, and imbalance of the Thoroughfare and Conception Vessels.ResultAccording to the comprehensive efficacy evaluation, the total effective rate was 86.7% in the treatment group versus 57.1% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The efficacy of the treatment group in treating the pattern of qi-stagnation due to liver depression was significantly higher than that in of the control group (P<0.05); there were no significant differences in comparing the efficacies in treating the types of accumulation of phlegm and stagnation and imbalance of the Thoroughfare and Conception Vessels between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionElectroacupunctureplustopical laser treatmentis effective in treating hyperplasia of mammary glands, especially for the type of qi-stagnation due to liver depression.

Transport of protein in the form of small peptides(di/tripeptides) across the small intestinal wall is a major route of dietary proteins absorption.The H + coupled dipeptide transporter,PepT1,located in the intestine and the kidney,plays an important role in the absorption of di/tripeptide;in addition,it mediates the intestinal absorption of ? lactam antibiotics,angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors,and other peptide like drugs.The human intestinal cell line Caco 2 is an in vitro model.The dipeptide transporters normally found in the small intestine are present in Caco 2 cells.Caco 2 cells spontaneously differentiate in culture to polar cells possessing microvilli and enterocytic properties.These cells have been evaluated in detail as a model to study both transcellular and paracellular transport of nutrients and drugs in the gut.

Objective To evaluate the factors influencing prognosis and to explore the pathological mechanism in which herpes simplex virus encephalitis(HSE) was one of the severe types of acute viral encephalitis in children and had poor prognosis.Methods Twenty-one children with HSE were diagnosed by the clinical syndrome of focal encephalitis and HSV DNA-PCR positive in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) from Jan.2012 to Oct.2013,among whom,19 patients were treated with intravenous Acyclovir,30 mg/(kg · d) 48 hours after onset and were followed up for 6 to 24 months.Clinical data were collected including Glasgow Coma Score,the brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),and electroencephalography(EEG).All MRI examinations including plain scan and contrast enhancement were carried out at the beginning of admission and 1 month after the onset of symptoms.The clinical outcomes were divided into two levels accoming to the severity of the neurological deficit,then the data were analyzed by using Logistic regression and Fisher's exact probability method.The OR value was calculated.Results Eighteen children survived,of whom 5 cases had no neurological deficit(27.8％),3 cases were left with mild impairment(16.7％),and the above 8 cases were thought to have better outcome.Six cases had moderate impairment (33.3％) and 4 cases had severe impairment(22.2％) and 1 child died,and these 11 cases were thought to have worse outcome.Patients aged between 1 month and 10 years,average (2.03 ± 2.23) years old.The mean GCS score was (9.68 ± 2.65) scores,the GCS of the patients were more than 7except for one death child with 3 scores.The multiple factor analysis showed that EEG,age,GCS and the range and character in MRI were significantly correlative to the prognosis(P ＜ 0.05).The single factor analysis illustrated that age 1-4 years old(OR =30,95％ CI 2.066-366.510,P =0.002),GCS ≤ 10 scores(OR =27.518,95％ C1 2.066-366.510,P =0.004)and the wide necrosis existence involving diffuse white matter or deep nuclei of MRI findings (OR =12,95 ％ CI 1.294-111.323,P =0.017) indicated the worse outcome.Conclusions Age,GCS score,nature and damage degree of MRI lesions are the main important factors affecting the prognosis of children's HSE.HSE in children is apt to involve the cortex such as frontal lobe,parietal lobe even diffuse white matter or deep nuclei,which indicates the poor prognosis.

Microcirculation dysfunction is involved in the onset of diabetes and its complications.The pathophysiological mechanisms behind the relationship between microcirculation and diabetes are multifactorial.Islet microcirculation dysfunction affects function of islet β cells.Impairment of microvascular vasomotion might be associated with insulin resistance.Microcirculation dysfunction of target organs mediates diabetic complications.

Objective To assess the feasibility of heterogeneous acellular dermal matrix(ADM)seeded with adipose derived stem cells(ADSC)for urethroplasty in a rabbit model.Methods ADSC were isolated from a rabbit and expanded in vitro,then identified by flow cytometry.We seeded ADSC onto the ADM and made it into tissue-engineered urethra.12 male rabbits were removed 1 cm urethra and divided into experiment group and control group.There were 6 rabbits in each group.Reconstructed urethra with tissueengineered urethra was used in experiment group,while unseeded ADM were used in control group.Urethrography was performed at 6 months after surgery.The animals were scarified at 3 and 6 months after surgery and the repaired urethra were harvested.H&E staining and immunohistochemical staining were performed with cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and smooth muscle desmin makers.Results The morphology of isolated ADSC was with long spindle cross-links,and had multicentral growth.Flow cytometry showed that the ADSC expressed CD166,CD105,CD90 and CD44,but not expressed CD45 and CD13.The cells could growth well on the ADM and showed good biocompatibility with it.All animals could void normally,urethrography showed there was no significant stenosis.3 months after surgery,the experiment group appeared regenerated smooth muscle but not in the control group,both groups did not regenerate urothelium.At 6 months urothelium and smooth muscle cells could be observed in the experiment group,but only the smooth muscle was evident in the control group.Conclusions By applying tissue engineering methods,we can seed the ADSC onto the heterogeneous ADM and make it into tissue-engineered urethra,which can help improve the reconstructive effect of urethra.

Objective Primary renal mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT lymphoma)is very rare,here dis-cuss the clinical pathological characteristics and diagnosis,differential diagnosis of primary renal MALT lymphoma.Methods A case of primary renal MALT lymphoma was assayed for clinical and histopathological morphology,an well as immuno-histochemical staining,then reviewed the relevant literature.Results The clinical and imaging characteristics of renal lym-phoma lack of specific performance,the tissue section of the kidney biopsy showed diffuse infiltration of small lymphocytes. The small lymphocytes were centrocytes-like,monocytes-like,and plasma cell differentiation was recognized.Lymphoepithe-lial lesions were scattered.Follicular implanted phenomenon could been seen.Immunohistochemically result:the tumor cells were positive for CD20,PAX-5,CD79αand MUM-1,but negative for CD3,CD5,CD45RO,bcl-2,CD10,bcl-6 and CyclinD1. CD2 1 showed damage FDC network,positive for Kappa,negative for lambda,and it showed monoclonal phenotype,the Ki-6 7 index was about 35%.Final pathology diagnosis was primary renal MALT lymphoma.Conclusion Primary renal MALT lymphoma is very rare,the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristic of renal lymphoma are non-specific and misdiag-nosis frequently occurs in clinical practice,definite diagnosis depends on pathological examination,immunohistochemical stai-ning is helpful to differential diagnosis.

Objectives: To determine the regulation effects of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) on dipeptide transport(PepT1) in normal and severe scalded rats. Methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats inflicted by 30% total body surface area ( TBSA) Ⅲ degree scalding were employed as the model.The rhGH was used in this study with the dose of 2 U/(kg?d). An everted sleeve of intestine was incubated in Kreb’s solution with radioactive dipeptide ( 3 H Glycylsarcosine, 3 H Gly Sar, 10 ?Ci / ml) at 37℃ for 15 min to measure the effects of uptake and transport of PepT1 of small intestinal epithelial cells in normal and severe scalded rats. Results: The transport of dipeptide in normal rats with injection of rhGH was not significantly increased compared with controls ( P =0.192 6) while the uptake was significantly increased compared with controls ( P = 0.025 3 ). The transport and uptake of PepT1 in scalded rats with injection of rhGH were significantly increased compared with controls( P = 0.008 2 and 0.039 1). Conclusions: The effects of uptake and transport of dipeptide transporters in small intestinal epithelial cells with severe injury were markedly upregulated by rhGH.

Objective To evaluate the correlations between the cerebral hemodynamic changes of severe acute encephalopathy with the clinical features from emergency periods to stable periods and the value of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography( TCD)in cerebral function assess. Methods Thirty patients with acute brain diseases by assisted mechanical ventilator from Jun 2014 to May 2015 in PICU were included and followed up to Nov 2015,then grouped by Glasgow Coma Scale( GCS),MRI,prognosis( mental sequelae after half a year). Each subject was examined through the temporal bone window by TCD at emergency peri-ods and stable periods. The systolic cerebral blood flow velocity( sCBFV),and pulsatility index( PI)of bilat-eral middle cerebral artery( MCA),anterior cerebral artery,posterior cerebral artery were analyzed. Multivari-ant analysis of variance,repeated measures analysis of variance was conducted to compare sCBFV and PI of MCA among groups in different clinical periods. The variants included sex,disease diagnosis,prognosis, MRI,GCS,and the first abnormal TCD. The variation within groups was tested via a Hotelling T2 test. All sCBFV and PI of each artery and the D-value of sCBFV between the different periods were compared accord-ing to the prognosis groups. Results (1)Five patients could be lateralized,and their lateralization of MRI focus was consistent with the abnormal sides of sCBFV in the stable periods.(2)The D-value of sCBFV in left MCA between the different periods in the poor prognosis group was significantly higher than that in the good prognosis group[(71. 93 ± 58. 21)cm/s vs.(33. 20 ± 30. 23)cm/s,t = -2. 287,P =0. 033].(3) Multivariant analysis of variance showed that GCS classification and disease diagnosis were significantly cor-related with the cerebral hemodynamic changes respectively(P =0. 042,0. 005,respectively).(4)sCBFV and PI of left MCA reduced significantly in the stable periods than those in the emergency periods( P =0. 002,0. 003,respectivly). Conclusion The cerebral hemodynamic changes by TCD from emergency peri-ods to stable periods are consistent with the clinical status,dynamic evaluation by TCD may facilitate the evaluation of brain dysfunction in the severe acute encephalopathy.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of modified single-portlaparoscopic radical prostatec-tomy(LRP) by atransperitoneal or extraperitoneal approach, and the impact of either approach on immune function in patients with prostate neoplasms. Methods The clinical data on 39 patients who had undergoneextraperitoneal LRP(group A) and 20 patients who had receivedtranperitoneal LRP (group B) in our department from January 2012 to December 2015 were retrospectivelyanalyzed. The prostate neoplasms were preoperatively diagnosed as cancer by ultrasound, CT or MRI, and pathological examinations. The clinical stage was T1-T2c , N0M0 in all patients.The efficacy was assessed by surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, timeto intestinal function recovery, and post-operative hospital stay in both groups. The indicators for immune function including prostate specific antigen (TPSA and FPSA), immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, lgM, C3, and C4) and T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+) in patientswith prostate neoplasms before and after surgery were detected. Results 59 patients were operat-ed successfully, without converting to open approach. The mean surgical duration, blood loss, time to intestinal function recovery, and postoperative hospital stay were (133.8 ± 68.6) min, (75.6 ± 51.3) mL, (2.2 ± 0.7) days, and (14.7 ± 3.6) days in group A, while (159.4 ± 78.1) min, (102.2 ± 70.8) mL, (2.9 ± 1.1) days, and (15.2 ± 4.1) days in group B. There were significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). After surgery, levels of IgG, IgA, C3, C4, CD3+, CD4+and CD4+/CD8+were significantly higherin group Athan in group B (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in levels of TPSA, FPSA and lgM (P>0.05). Average postoperative follow-up was 15 months (range 3-36) in 36 patients. No recurrence or metastasis was found in all the patients by imaging studies,and no long-term complications were found. Conclusions Extraperitoneal LRP, as compared with tranperitoneal LRP, has clearer vision, fewer effects on abdominal organs, shorter surgical duration, less blood loss, faster postoperative recovery, and better protection of immune function. It is worth popularizing clin-ically.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment of a family with inherited generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS + ) caused by the KCNT2 gene mutation and review the literature. Methods:Clinical data of a child with GEFS + and his family members who visited Department of Pediatric Neurology, Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center in May 2019 were collected.DNA samples were collected from the peripheral blood of the proband, his parents, his elder brother, and his maternal grandparents, and genetic analysis and verification were performed using the next-generation sequencing technique.Using " KCNT2" as the key word, literature was retrieved from PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases (up to August 2019). Results:The proband was a 3-year-old boy who was admitted to Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center because of frequent epileptic seizures in the past 5 months.He presented with a binocular gaze and experienced 3 to 8 times of extremities myoclonic-spastic epileptic attacks every day.He had a history of 3 times of febrile seizures at the age of 2 years old.His seizures were refractory to Sodium valproate, Topiramate, Nitrazepam and Levetiracetam.His elder brother and mother had a history of childhood febrile seizures.Other members in the family had no history of convulsion.Ictal electroencephalogram showed general 1 Hz high voltage spike-slow waves.A heterozygous nonsense mutation of KCNT2 gene c. 574C>T(p.Q192X) that was never reported previously was detected in the proband, his brother, mother and maternal grandmother.Furthermore, no other family members carried the mutation at the c. 574 locus of the KCNT2 gene.No article in Chinese was found, and 2 articles in a language other than Chinese provided the complete data of 3 sporadic cases.Together with 4 cases in the family studied in this article, there were 7 cases and 4 mutation sites in KCNT2 gene.Of these mutations, there were 3 missense mutations and 1 nonsense mutation.Three sporadic patients presented with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy.The family of this study was characterized with febrile seizures and febrile seizures plus. Conclusions:A de novo mutation and phenotype of the KCNT2 gene is found in a family with GEFS + .It would expand the gene mutation spectrum and provide basis for family genetic counseling. KCNT2 mutation induced GEFS + is refractory to antiepileptic drugs.
