Objective To explore the causes of subclinical hypothyrodism in children and the effects of the interventional therapy with thyroixine on the course of it.Methods Two hundreds children with subclinical hypothyroidism were measured for thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb),thyroid microsomal antibody(TMAb) in the blood serum,examined by colord Dopplor ultrasonic,examined by fine needle aspiraton cytology of the throid and measured the rate of 131I absorbed by thyroid in order to find out the causes of the disease.Two hundreds cases were randomly divided into two groups on the base of the cause of diseases,treatment group 100 cases and control group 100 cases.The treatment group were treated by throxine 25-75 ?g/d and the therapeutic dosage were chosen with the normal value of free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4)and high sensitive thyrotropin(sTSH) in the blood serum .After one year thyroxine therapy were stopped.Thyroid function was examined 6 months later after stopping the thyroxine.Results Among all of the causes of subclinical hypothyroidism in children,Hasgumoto′s thyroiditis accounts for 56%,simple goiter accounts for 26%,antithyroid drug accounts for 6%,the lack of thyroxine substitution therapy on the hypothyroidism accounts for 5% and undefined causes accounts for 7% .The thyroid function could keep normal for 1 year with an alternative therapy with thyroxine on subclinical hypothyroidism in children.Half a year later after stopping thyroxine,the thyroid function turned normal in most of the children.There were obvious differences in the ratio of cure and the ratio of effectiveness between treatment group and control group (t=20.2,3.2 Pa

Abstract: Objective To analyze the drug sensitivity and the carrying of carbapenem resistant gene of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from clinical patients and clinical objects, and analyze the homology of strains to provide support for the control of nosocomial infection. Methods A total of 38 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from patients and clinical objects surface were collected from January 2019 to August 2020. The antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by the minimum inhibitory concentration method. In addition, the resistance related genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction method, and homology analysis was performed by enterobacterial repetitive Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus Polymerase Chain Reaction (ERIC-PCR). Results All 34 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from Clinical patients and 4 strains isolated from clinical objects carried blaOXA-51 and imp resistance genes, neither of them carried blaVIM gene. 32 Acinetobacter baumannii carrying blaOXA-23 gene, 28 strains carrying blaTEM gene, 7 strains carrying blaOXA-58 gene. After cluster analysis, 38 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were classified into 7 genotypes (expressed A, B, C, D, E, F, G), and cluster E and cluster G were the main clusters, containing 12 strains (12/38, 31.6%) and 18 strains (18/38, 47.4%), respectively, as the main prevalent clonal strains. Conclusions Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from different sources have the significant differences in drug resistance and carry different resistance genes. There is no direct correlation between patients and environmental isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii belonging to different clonal strains. Also, there aren’t significant correlation between clinical patients infected with Acinetobacter baumannii.

In order to determine the challenge dose of pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1) inactivated vaccine (S-1 strain). The virus titer of PPMV-1 E5 allantoic fluid (Chuansha strain) was determined using SPF chicken embryos in this research. After inoculating 30-day-old and 120-day-old pigeons with low-HI antibody against PPMV-1 (HI antibody < or =2) with different doses of PPMV-1 (Chuansha strain), the clinical symptoms and histopathological lesions of the challenged pigeons were examined. The results showed that the minimal lethal dose (MLD) of PPMV-1 (Chuansha strain) was 102.5 ELD50, so we determined that 10(5.5) ELD50, which was 1000 times the MLD, could be taken as the challenge dose in the vaccine efficacy test for PPMV-1 inactivated vaccine (S-1 strain).

Targeting dosage form is a kind of targeting drug delivery system which can be used to lock drugs aroud the target organs, tissues, cells and obtain more effective treatment for dose concentration, thus reducing the side-effects of such drugs while increasing their effeciveness. Targeting dosage form is the fourth-generation drug dosage form and it is ideal system for administration because it release the theraping drugs in the targeting-site. Particular emphasis was placed on liposome due to it was used as a drug carrier. Meanwhile, the highlights of research were on magnetic and enzyme targeting preparations. In addition, oral colon targeting drug delivery system, drugs were carried to ileocecum and release to get local and whole effect, is also an important part of targeting dosage form. The study on traditional chinese medicine (TCM) targeting dosage form is still at beginning stage in China. At present, most of study on TCM and natural products targeting drugs were focus on simple effective component and merely on TCM effective positions in relative with the difficult for determing their quality standard and procedure of preparing. It is the kernel item for TCM modernization and the key for TCM internationalization to develop new dosage form and new technology of TCM. There is a need in collaboration with multiple discipline. It will be a important research subject to develop TCM targeting preparation in the near future. TCM targeting dosage form can be classified into liposome, nanoparticles, multiple emulsion etc according to the difference of carrier and oral, rectal, colonic, nasal, dermal, ocular system on a basis of administration and so on. This paper made a summary on TCM and natural products targeting dosage form according to different targeting positions and introduce the procedure of preparing compared with the effect in vivo and manifest that TCM and natural products targeting dosage form will have good exploit prospect.

In this study, 31 Notopterygium incisum populations were analyzed using ITS sequences to investigate the genetic structure. The results showed that: the ITS region ranged in size from 634 to 635 bp and base composition was with high G + C content of 57.8%. Thirty-one polymorphic sites were detected from 402 sequences of 31 populations of N. incisum, and the proportion of polymorphic sites was 4.88%, in which parsimony informative sites were up to 12. And 31 haplotypes were identified based on these polymorphic sites. Molecular variance analysis (AMOVA) indicated that high genetic differentiation (57%) existed among population, and gene flow was low (N(m) = 0.38) among populations. Phylogenetic relationships of 31 haplotypes were analyzed using NJ method with N. forbesiias an out-group. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 31 haplotypes from different populations mixed together and did not form distinct geographically separated clades.

Background: Creatine transporter (CRTR) deficiency is the most common creatine deficiency syndrome,
of which the final diagnosis relies on mutation in the X-linked CRTR gene. To date, more than 90
mutations in the SLC6A8 gene have been reported. This paper discusses a novel mutation detected via
the thorough sequencing of all the X-chromosome-specific exons investigated in a four and a half year
old boy with an intellectual disability, speech and language delay and motor disturbance. Methods:
A brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)
were carried out, the creatine and creatinine concentrations in the urine were checked and all exons
were sequenced. Results: A detailed clinical investigation revealed a reduction in the cerebral creatine
levels in the brain by the MRS, elevated creatine and creatinine concentrations in the urine and signal
abnormalities in the left frontal cortex of the brain by the MRI. A novel change was identified in the
heterozygosity of the exon 10: c.1395-c.1401 deletion.
Conclusion: The use of a combination of powerful new technologies, such as thorough exome-nextgeneration
sequencing and a brain MRS, should be considered, in order to determine any neurometabolic
diseases, especially when the signal abnormalities in the brain MRI cannot be explained by any other
factors. This mutation results most likely in a dysfunction of the creatine transport and synthesis,
hence causing central nervous system symptoms.
