Conclusion The QQ group follow up of nursing education can reduce the incidence of adverse reactions by radiotherapy after discharge.

Purpose　The aim is to sulfonize Hunai polysaccharide fr om p leurotus tuber-rigium(Fr.)Sing. and to evaluate the antioxidative activities of the sulfated po lysaccharide (S-HNP).Methods　S-HNP was prepared by the reacti on of Hunai polysaccharide with chlorosulfonic acid-Pyridine. The antioxidative activities o f S-HNP were evaluated as follows: (1) the inhibition effects on Fe2+- Vc inducing the injury of rat liver mitochondria in vitro, (2) the protectiv e ef fect on CuSO4 -Phen-Vc-H2O2 inducing the damage of DNA, (3) the scaven ging effect on O*-2. Results　 S-HNP could protect mitochondria from lipid peroxidation induced by Fe2+-Vc, i ncluding the inhibitions of the increase of TBARS content, the swelling of mitoc hondria and the decrease of membrane fluidity, and protect DNA from the damage induced by CuSO4-Phen-Vc-H2O2， and scavenge O*-2 generated in the sel f-oxidation of pyrogallic acid. Conclusion　S-HNP exhibi ted marked antioxidative activities.

Roundworms of Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina are common gastrointestinal helminths of canids over the world. Humans are infected with T. canis larvae through ingestion of infective eggs in contaminated environments or larvae by consumption of raw or uncooked meat or livers. Recently, patients of clinically diagnosed toxocariasis are increasing and require correct diagnosis in Korea. The present study investigated serological cross-reactivity between crude antigens of T. canis (TCLA) and T. leonina (TLLA) larvae. We collected serum specimens from 177 toxocariasis patients who were clinically suspected in the Seoul National University Hospital and 115 healthy controls. An ELISA method for toxocariasis was used to evaluate diagnostic efficacy of TLLA for serodiagnosis of human toxocariasis. The IgG ELISA using TLLA gave 14 (14.3%) positives of 98 TCLA positive specimens among 177 suspected toxocariasis patients. Most of them showed high absorbances with TCLA. In conclusion, there is a partial cross reaction between serum specimens of toxocariasis and TLLA.

We optimized the conditions of mixed fermentation of very high gravity ethanol with cassava flour and sugarcane juice. Based on the single factor experiment, we screened the important parameters for very high gravity ethanol fermentation with cassava flour and sugarcane juice by the Plackeet-burman design. Then, we obtained the optimum values of the important parameters by the orthogonal experiments: the mixing ratio of cassava flour to sugarcane juice, 1:5; initial pH of fermentation, 4.0-4.5; the concentrations of urea and MgSO4, 0.25% and 0.04% (W/W), respectively. Finally, we used a gradient temperature control strategy with the optimized conditions, and ethanol concentration of 17.84% (V/V) and fermentation efficiency of 91.82% were achieved, correspondingly.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Personal and Social Performance scale (PSP-CHN) in patients with schizophrenia.Methods:Totally 165 out-patients and in-patients meeting the DSM-IV-TR criteria for schizophrenia were entered in the study.Ten of subjects was included the intra-rater reliability training.The Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF) was regarded as the' gold standard' to investigate the validity of PSP-CHN,and the Positive and Negative Rating Scale was used to assess the severity of disease to explore the correlative validity,in the other 155 subjects.Five to seven days after the first PSP-CHN interview,the second PSP-CHN was evaluated by another investigator to assess the test-retest reliability among 66 subjects.Twenty-seven subjects with the score of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) more than 60 were followed up for 8 weeks of standardized pharmacotherapy.By the end of 8 week of treatment,the PANSS and PSP-CHN were assessed again to explore the sensitivity of PSP-CHN.Results:The internal consistency (Cronbach α=0.84) and the inter-rater reliability (κ value=0.56,ICC=0.94 for PSP-CHN total score) were good.The test-retest reliability was high [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.95].The scale showed good construct validity with statistically significant correlations with the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF) (ICC of 0.95).The PSP-CHN score had a good negative correlation with the PANSS total score(r=-0.79,-0.57,-0.63 and -0.71,respectively,P<0.01).After 8 week treatment,PSP-CHN total score was increased with the improvement of PANSS,and the responder showed higher increasing of PSP-CHN total score (21.2) than those partial responder(10.2),significantly.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the PSP-CHN is a convenient and valid instrument to assess the personal and social functions of stabilized and acute patients with schizophrenia.

Toxocariasis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by larvae of ascarid nematodes of dogs or cats, Toxocara canis or T. cati. Diagnosis of human toxocariasis currently relies on serology that uses T. canis excretory-secretory antigen to detect specific IgG antibodies by ELISA. We investigated the serodiagnostic efficacy of ELISA using crude antigen of T. canis larvae (TCLA). Serum specimens of 64 clinically confirmed toxocariasis, 115 healthy controls, and 119 other tissue-invading helminthiases were screened by ELISA using TCLA. The ELISA using TCLA showed 92.2% (59/64 patient samples) sensitivity and 86.6% (103/119) specificity. Its positive diagnostic predictivity was 78.7% and negative predictivity was 97.8%. No serum of healthy controls reacted but that of anisakiasis (45.5%), gnathostomiasis (19.2%), clonorchiasis (15.8%), sparganosis (11.1%), and cysticercosis (6.3%) cross-reacted. Immunoblot analysis on TCLA recognized antigenic proteins of 28- and 30-kDa bands in their dominant protein quantity and strong blotting reactivity. The present results indicate that the ELISA using our TCLA antigen is acceptable by the sensitivity and specificity for serodiagnosis of human toxocariasis. ELISA with TCLA is recommended to make differential diagnosis for patients with any sign of organ infiltration and eosinophilia.

Objective:To evaluate primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma surgeries in combination with involved bowel resection .Methods:Clinical data of primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma patients admitted for surgery at Peking University International Hospital from Jan 2015 to July 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.Results:Twenty-four patients undergoing resectional surgeries combining with bowel resection were included for the study, of which 6 cases underwent right hemicolectomy, 8 did left hemicolectomy, 6 did sigmoidectomy, 2 did proctectomy and 8 did small bowel resection. The post operative morbidity was 38%. 2 of 24 had anastomotic fistula. There was no mortality. Final pathology disclosed well differentiated liposarcoma in 13 and dedifferentiated liposarcoma in 11 cases. 18 cases were confirmed with bowel infiltration pathologically. All patients were followed up after the surgery. After a median of 25 months following up, 8 cases developed recurrences and 3 deceased. Two-year overall survival and progression free survival probability were 91% and 71% respectively. Dedifferentiated liposarcoma as a pathological type was found as the only risk factor associated to poor progression free survival ( Z=2.02, P=0.042). Conclusion:Combining resection of primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma with involved bowel was relatively safe, with low morbidity, increasing tumor clearance. Dedifferentiated liposarcoma is associated wth poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of final vowel types on the voice onset time(VOT)of differ-ent stops in children with hearing impairment,and to provide a basis for the acquisition and correction of stop sounds.Methods A total of 22 hearing-impaired children aged 3～6 and 22 children with normal hearing were ran-domly selected-18 consonant-vowel(CV)syllables composed of 6 stops and 3 single finals were recorded,using first tone.Using Praat 6.1.29 software to analyze and extract the stops VOT.Two-way ANOVA was used for each stop,the dependent variable was VOT,and the independent variables were hearing status and final type.Results Children in the hearing-impaired group had articulation errors in/t/,/g/,and/k/.Hearing status had significant effect on the main effect of plosives/g/,/p/,/t/,/k/(P＜0.05),and the VOT of slurs/g/,/p/,/t/,/k/in the normal hearing group significantly greater than the hearing-impaired group(P＜0.05).The main effect of finals on the VOT of the stops/b/,/p/and/t/was significant(P＜0.05).Hearing status and final type had an interac-tive effect on the stop/t/,and the simple main effect showed that the difference in VOT of/ti/between the hear-ing-impaired group and the normal hearing group was greater than that of/ta/and/tu/.Conclusion The stops/g/,/p//t/,/k/VOT of hearing-impaired children are smaller than those of with normal hearing.The difference in VOT of/ti/sound between the hearing impaired group and the normal hearing group is greater than that of/ta/sound and/tu/sound.In the teaching of the initial/t/sound for hearing-impaired children,we can start with/ta/and/tu/with less difference,and the/ti/sound is consolidated later.Pay attention to breathing and oral exercise training,to lay a good foundation for clear pronunciation.

Objective:To establish a conditional knockout mouse model of polycystic kidney disease 1 ( Pkd1) gene based on CRISPR/Cas9 and Cre-loxP gene editing technology, and to provide an animal model for in-depth research on the role of Pkd1 gene in the development of polycystic kidney disease. Methods:In-Fusion technology was used to construct a targeting vector. Corresponding gRNAs, Cas9 mRNAs, and donor vectors carrying the loxP site were prepared based on the Pkd1 gene, and injected into the fertilized eggs of C57BL/6N mice. The fertilized eggs were transferred to the fallopian tubes of female mice with pseudopregnancy. After the newborn mice were identified by PCR and sequencing analysis, Pkd1 flox/flox F0 generation positive mice were selected. The F0 generation positive mice were bred with wild-type mice, and F1 generation heterozygous mice with Pkd1 flox/+ genotype were selected for offspring. F2 generation homozygous mice with Pkd1 flox/flox genotype were obtained through internal expansion, and then hybridized with Cre positive Ggt1/ Cre mice. F3 generation mice with Pkd1 flox/+Ggt1 Cre genotype were obtained. F4 generation mice with Pkd1 flox/flox Ggt1 Cre genotype were obtained by self crossing or backcrossing with F2 generation Pkd1 flox/flox, namely kidney-specific Pkd1 gene knockout mice ( Ggt1-cKO mice). PCR method was used to identify the genotype of mice, and then the mice were divided into wild-type control (WT) group ( n=6), Pkd1 homozygous control (PKD) group ( n=6), and Ggt1-cKO knockout validation (CKO) group ( n=6) according to the gene identification results. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of Pkd1 mRNA in the kidneys and other organs of mice in each group. HE staining was used to detect the pathological changes in renal tissues of mice in each group. The automatic biochemical detector was used to detect the blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels of mice, and the kidney coefficient was calculated. Results:The PCR detection results showed that the genotype of offspring mice in CKO group was consistent with Pkd1floxflox Ggt1 Cre. Pkd1 gene was only specifically expressed in the kidney, but not in other tissues. The RT-qPCR results showed that the relative expression of Pkd1 mRNA in the renal medulla of CKO group was significantly lower than that of WT and PKD groups. The kidney volume of the CKO group had increased by about twice compared to the WT group. Under the microscope, it could be observed that there were multiple vacuoles of varying sizes and shapes in the kidneys of the CKO group, and there was a significant increase in the interstitial space of the medullary tissue. The kidney coefficient, blood urea nitrogen, and serum creatinine in the CKO group were significantly higher than those in the WT and PKD groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Based on CRISPR/Cas9 and Cre-loxP gene editing technology, Pkd1 gene kidney conditional knockout mice can be successfully constructed, providing an animal model for further studying the action mechanism of Pkd1 gene in polycystic kidney disease.
