Objective To learn the effect on carcinoma xenograft in nude mice by inhibiting human papillomavirus 16(HPV16) E6 gene expression in CaSki cell. Methods The recombinant plasmids expressing HPV16 E6 small interference RNA (siRNA) were transfected into CaSki cell. The cells expressing recombinant plasmid was screened out with G418. The expression of E6 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR. The cells were inoculated into BALB/c nude mice subcutaneouly and the growth of the xenograft carcinoma was observed. After the pGensil-CH2 recombinant was injected into the carcinoma, the growth of carcinoma and pathological changes of carcinoma were observed. Results The CaSki cell expressing E6 siRNA was obtained, and HPV16 E6 mRNA expression in CaSki cell was down-regulated. The oncogenicity of the CaSki cell expressing E6 siRNA was degraded, the inhibition rate was up to 71.4% as compared with that of control group. The growth of tumor in nude mice was inhibited after the E6 siRNA plasmids were injected into the nude mice. The volume and weight of the tumor treated by siRNA were smaller than that of control group significantly. More necrotic area and less cell division phase were observed under light microscope in the E6 siRNA treated tumor. Conclusion The oncogenicity of the CaSki cell was degraded after silencing HPV16 E6 gene in CaSki cell by E6 siRNA.

Objective To investigate the value of electronic rectosigmoidoscopy in health examinations.Methods Based on retrospective analysis of 30 250 patients who received electronic rectosigmoidoscopy in the Physical Examination Center of our hospital from May 2010 to Dec.2013,the incidence of anal disease and sigmoid colon disease were analyzed.Results The highest detection rate of common diseases was hemorrhoids,followed by proctopolyps,hypertrophy of anal papilla,proctitis,anal fissure,melanosis coli and colonic tumor.The detectable rate of them were 55.57% (16 810/30 250),10.57% (3 196/30 250),5.03% (1 523/30 250),0.69% (210/30 250),0.54% (162/30 250),0.29% (87/30 250),0.09% (28/30 250),0.04% (13/30 250),0.02% (6/30 250).Conclusion Electronic colonoscopy for colorectal polyps,rectal cancer,colon melanosis and proctitis detection rate was significantly higher than the anus digital rectal examination,the difference is statistically significant,and it also has merits of simplicity,noninvasiveness and rapidity.

Objective:
To investigate general condition of children′s rheumatic disease associated medical resources in Fujian Province.
Methods:
This questionnaire-based survey was conducted in 19 hospitals in Fujian province from December 2, 2018 to May 1, 2019. The questionnaire was designed to survey the general condition of the medical resources and the hospitalization of patients with rheumatic diseases from January 1, 2014 to December 1, 2018.
Results:
In the 19 hospitals, there were 15 general hospitals and 4 children′s hospitals, and only 5 hospitals had children′s rheumatic specialist clinic. There were only 53-62 beds for rheumatic disease patients in the 19 hospitals, accounting for 1.7%-2.0% of the total inpatient beds (3 137). There are 29 pediatric rheumatologists in total, accounting for 2.6% (29/1 120) of the total pediatricians. In the past five years, 613 patients with rheumatic diseases, accounting for 0.1% (613/625 214) of total hospitalized patients, were treated in these hospitals. Among them, 201 had juvenile idiopathic arthritis, 295 had systemic lupus erythematosus, 39 had dermatomyositis, 7 had scleroderma, and 57 had inflammatory bowel disease, 9 had Sjogren′s syndrome, 5 had Behcet′s disease, and none had overlap syndrome or mixed connective tissue disease.
Conclusion
The medical resources of children rheumatic diseases in Fujian province are insufficient which need to be developed.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of pathogenic variants in complement genes in Han Chinese children with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS).
Method:
Eleven Han Chinese children with aHUS, including 9 boys and 2 girls aged between 1 year and 4 months and 13 years, were investigated in Department of Pediatrics, Fuzhou General Hospital, from November 1998 to February 2014. Analysis of variants of all the exons of 10 complement genes (CFH, MCP, CFI, C3, CFB, CFHR1, CFHR2, CFHR3, CFHR4 and CFHR5), including 25 bases from 3′ end and 25 bases from 5' end, was performed in the 11 cases by targeted sequence capture and next generation sequencing. Significant variants detected by next generation sequencing were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. To understand pathogenicity of variants found in the captured genes, we investigated genetic conservation by multiple protein sequence alignment among different species, and analyzed whether the variants were located in protein domains or not, and investigated functional significance by functional computational prediction methods.
Result:
Twenty-seven percent of Han Chinese children with aHUS carried pathogenic variants in the 10 complement genes. Pathogenic variant CFB 221G>A (R74H) was detected in Patient 3 and Patient 9, which was not found in parents of Patient 3′ , and was found in healthy father of patient 9. Pathogenic variant CFHR5 242C>T (P81L) was found in Patient 2, and was found in healthy father of patient 2. However, no pathogenic variants in genes CFH, MCP, CFI, C3, CFHR1, CFHR2, CFHR3 and CFHR4 were identified.
Conclusion
Pathogenic variants in the 10 complement genes were identified in 3/11 of Han Chinese children with aHUS in our study and CFB was the most frequently mutated gene.
