Objective:In this study, the feasibility of this method was evaluated in children with large distance femoral lengthening cases, and the acute correction and staging surgeries were compared at healing speed. At the same time the key points of surgical techniques would be summarized, so as to clarify the application value of this technology in children patients.Methods:Since July 7 of 2014 to January 16 of 2018, a total of 10 cases of Lengthening Over Retrograde Nail (LORN) surgery have been formulated and carried out, including 9 males and 1 females.The average age of the operation was 13.10±2.18 y. In all cases, the osteotomy point was located in the metaphysis of the distal femur, and the records from the first meeting to the end of follow-up included gender, date of birth, reason of discrepancy and treatment history, age at surgery, lengthing distance, the length of duration with frame, healing time, ROM of the knee joint, complications, et al. To compare the healing time of acute correction and staging surgery. Statistical analysis was made by SPSS 22.0 software, and then reasonable treatment strategies were proposed.Results:The average lengthing distance of 7.07±1.01 cm. The median time of the duration with frame was 8.5 (4,16) months, and the median follow-up time was 39 (34, 54) months. All cases obtained good clinical and imaging healing (1.70±1.10 month/cm vs. 1.16±0.54 month/cm), and all regained to normal walking function (136.67°±20.82° vs. 125.71°±26.37°), without the occurrence of fracture after therapy. There were no statistically significant differences in the speed of healing, range of joint motion or complication rate between acute correction and staging treatment. Conclusion:It is feasible for femoral lengthening surgery assisted by retrograde intramedullary nail in the treatment of femoral shortening deformityin children. The correction of mild angular deformity and lengthening surgery can be performed simultaneously. The osteotomy site was proposed at distal metaphysealof the femur for better quality of osteogenesis and shorter duration for fixator. It is safe to osteotomy and lengthening in the area of enchondroma.

Objective:To identify the differentially expressed snoRNAs in the carcinogenesis of cells induced by α-particles radiation and predict the targeted genes and RNA-co-expression networks.Methods:Full transcriptome expression microarray biochips were employed to screen the differentially expressed snoRNAs between human bronchial epithelial BEP2D cell line and its derivative malignantly transformed cell line BERP35T-4 established by α-particle irradiation. The expression changes of snoRNAs and their derived sdRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR. The functional domains, targets and co-expression networks of snoRNA were predicted by bioinformatics analysis.Results:Consistent with the result of microarray assay, the expression changes of the screened snoRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR. The expressions of sno116 family decreased in BERP35T-4, which was 0.105% ( t=26.60, P<0.01) of BEP2D, and they were generally down-regulated in radiation-induced carcinogenic BERP35T-4 cells and the human lung cancer cell lines A549 and H1299. It was also found that the expression level of the sdRNAs derived from sno116-14 was significantly different in the same cells. It was speculated that these less expressed sdRNAs of sno116-14 could be due to degradation as the consequence of interaction with their targets. The co-expression networks of sno116 family with other types of RNA were established, and the predicted targets of sno116-14 included ZNF280D, TFDP1, CCDC28B, RPS6KA3, CANX, RUNX1 and KALRN, which were related to the functions of cell proliferation and cytoskeletal structure. Conclusions:Some differentially expressed snoRNAs related to α-particle induced carcinogenesis have been identified. It is predicted that the target gene of sno116-14 is involved in the biological processes such as cell proliferation, cytoskeletal structure and the signaling pathways for function regulation, providing new information for the function model of C/D box snoRNAs and the mechanism of radiation carcinogenesis.

Objective:In this study, lengthening over nail (LON) and plating after lengthening (PAL) were compared by the process of treatment and therapeutic effect in the children's femoral lengthening cases,to guide treatment choices; and in the PAL group there was another comparison between different timeline of plate fixation after lengthening to formulate reasonable technical route.Methods:Since January 7, 2014 to September 10, 2018, a total of 21 cases of LON and PAL surgery had been carried out, including 12 males and 9 females. The average age at their operation was 12.43±3.12 years. There were 10 patients in the LON group and 11 patients in the PAL group, in the PAL group 5 cases was synchronous fixation, which means removal of the external fixator and plate fixation would be performed in the same surgery, 6 cases was asynchronous fixation, which means plate fixation would be performed at least 2 weeks later after the removal offixator to reduce the risk of infection. The recorded data includesgender, date of birth, reason of discrepancy and treatment history, age at surgery, lengthening distance, the length of duration with frame, healing time, total duration time and total blood loss of seriesoperations, ROM of the knee joint, complications, etc.Statistical analysis was made by SPSS 22.0 software, and then reasonable treatment strategies were proposed.Results:In the LON group, the medianlengthening distance was 7.10 (6.63, 7.70) cm, the median total duration time was 300 (240, 330) min, the medianspeed of healing was 1.12 (0.78, 1.72) month/cm, complications were found in 3 cases, the median ROM of knee joint was 125.00° (117.50°, 150.00°); in the PAL group, the data respectively were 6.00 (5.00, 8.00) cm, 260 (230, 465) min, 1.00 (0.75,1.71) month/cm, 3 cases, 100.00° (90.00°, 150.00°), the difference between them was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). 2. In the PAL group, the difference of number of surgeries, total duration time, total blood loss, complication rate, healing speed and postoperative function between synchronous and asynchronous fixation was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusion:They are similarbetween LON and PAL techniques in the process of treatment and therapeutic effect. The surgeons could make choices according to the growth potential of the patients and their own custom operation methods. In the case of the current sample size, there is no statistical difference in the therapeutic effect between the synchronous and asynchronous plate fixation in the PAL method, but the sample size needs to be increased for further study.

Objective:To analyze the iodine nutritional status of children aged 8 - 10 in Tongren City, Guizhou Province, and provide a basis for scientific iodine supplementation for children.Methods:From 2020 to 2022, a systematic sampling method was adopted in 10 districts and counties of Tongren City. Each year, each district and county was divided into 5 districts based on east, west, south, north, and center. One township (street) was selected from each district, and 40 non boarding students aged 8 to 10 were selected from each township (street) to measure the iodine content of household salt and urine samples. The content of salt iodine in children of different yesas as well as the distribution of urine iodine in children of different districts and counties and different genders were analyzed and compared. Additionally, B-ultrasound was used to measure the thyroid volume of some children and the situation of thyroid enlargement was analyzed.Results:From 2020 to 2022, a total of 6 000 salt samples were collected and monitored from children's households, and 5 989 samples of iodized salt were detected, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 99.8%; and 5 750 samples of qualified iodized salt were found, the qualified rate of iodized salt was 96.0%, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 95.8%; and the median salt iodine was 27.3 mg/kg, the difference in the median salt iodine among children between different years was statistically significant ( H = 10.04, P < 0.001). A total of 6 000 urine samples from children were tested, the median urinary iodine was 225.2 μg/L, the median urinary iodine among children in different districts and counties were statistically significantly different ( H = 85.73, P < 0.001); 3 077 male and 2 923 female urine samples were tested, and the median urinary iodine between different genders was statistically significant different ( Z = - 67.10, P < 0.001). The median urinary iodine of male samples were higher than those of female samples(227.8 vs 222.9 μg/L). The thyroid gland of 2 000 children was examined, and the rate of goiter was 1.0% (21/2 000). Conclusions:From 2020 to 2022, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt, urinary iodine content and goiter rate of children in Tongren City have all met the national standard for eliminating iodine deficiency disorders. The overall iodine nutrition level exceeds the appropriate amount (urinary iodine of 200 - 299 μg/L).
