1.The progress on genes associated with early puberty
International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;41(1):48-50
Puberty onset is triggered by re-emergence of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPGA),which is characterized by the significantly increasing amplitude and frequency of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion in human being.A series of studies found that many genes control puberty onset,including KISS1 and GPR54 gene,estrogen receptor (ESR) gene,energy balance-related genes,LIN28B gene,MKRN3 gene and so on.Studies have been confirmed that the mutation and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the genes above are associated with early puberty.In this paper,the relationship between genetic alterations of these genes and early puberty are summarized as follows.-

Journal of Forensic Medicine 2014;(2):93-95
Objective To explore the relevance between writing characteristic and therapeutic effect in schizophrenia and to discuss the influence of aggressive behavior on writing characteristic. Methods Re-coding the casual and fixed writing in admission, one week, two weeks, four weeks, eight weeks after treatment and rating Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS). Choosing two characteristics, “relationship between font and grid lines” and “having big strokes or not”, and comparing before and after treatment. Results Eight weeks after treatment, the score of PANSS decreased. The condition of patients and the writing characteristic improved as well. The differ-ences of writing characteristics were statistically significant in patients with aggressive behavior before and after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion The writing characteristic has relation with therapeutic effects and improved with therapeutic effects in aggressive patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of three different choices of indwelling urethral catheter clamping. Indwelling urethral catheter clamping choices included according to patients′complaints to clamp the catheter (Group A), released as schedule (Group B),and smooth passway of indwelling urinary catheter all the way (Group C). Methods We searched RCT about the effect of different choices of indwelling urethral catheter clamping from CNKI, VIP database,Wanfang database, PubMed on line. Literatures were searched from the database had been established till now. Two reviewers evaluate the literatures independently according to the RCT authentic assessment manual of Cochrane Collaboration. Other than different results, negotiation took as the measure to attach an agreement. No agreement reached, consult the opinion of the third person. RevMan5.2 was used to analyses the result of the study. Results Statistical difference between three clamping choice on the rate of successful in autonomous urination after catheter removed: both group A and group B preceded group C (Z=2.97, Z=4.34, P < 0.05), mean well group A preceded group B (Z=5.30, P < 0.05). Statistical difference did not found on the rate of urinary tract irritation after catheter removed between three choices. Conclusion Clamping indwelling urethral catheter according to patients′ complaints seems useful in bladder reconditioning before indwelling urethral catheter removal.
