Iliac arteriovenous ifstula (AVF) usually manifests in a wide range of symptoms similar to typical deep venous thrombosis (DVT), which often lead to delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. We reported a 51-year old woman who was performed lumbar discectomy and showed a progressive abdominal distention, dyspnea, and swollen left leg. She was initially diagnosed as deep vein thrombosis and the ifnal diagnosis was arteriovenous ifstula. hTe ifstula was successfully sealed by an endovascular covered stent. No further recurrence was found atfer a half year’s follow-up. hTis article summarized the experience regarding iliac arteriovenous ifstula misdiagnosed, and discussed the differential diagnosis between arteriovenous ifstula and pulmonary thromboembolism causedby deep vein thrombosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the dynamic expression and role of SENP1 (SUMO-specific proteases-1) in the pulmonary vascular wall of rat during the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH).

METHODSForty adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 8), and exposed to normoxia (Control group) or exposed to hypoxia for 3, 7, 14 or 21 d, respectively. The HPH models were established by normobaric intermittent hypoxia. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP), right ventricle hypertrophy index (RVHI), and vessel morphometry were measured. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and in situ hybridization were used to determine the mRNA expression of SENP1. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to determine the protein expression of SENP1.

RESULTSThe hypoxic rats developed pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary arterioles after 7 d of hypoxia exposure. Pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary arterioles significantly increased after 14 d of hypoxia. The level of mPAP in hypoxic rats increased significantly after 7 d of hypoxia, reached its peak after 14 d of hypoxic exposure. RVHI was markedly increased after 14 d of hypoxia. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis showed that SENP1 mRNA and protein were positively stained in control. SENP1 mRNA expression had little changes after exposure to hypoxia compared with the control, however, SENP1 protein expression was declined gradually after 7 d of hypoxia. The results of RT-PCR and Western blot showed that the same dynamic expression of SENP1 mRNA and protein in lung tissues of rats. Linear correlation analysis showed that SENP1 protein were negatively correlated with mPAP, pulmonary vascular remodeling index and RVHI.

CONCLUSIONUnder chronic hypoxia, SENP1 protein can be degradated. The dynamic expression of SENP1 protein may play a role in implicating in the development of HPH.

A longitudinal study was carried out on fifty infants selected from both urban and rural areas of Beijing for their body weights, heights, head and mid-upper arm circumferences, tricep and abdomen skinfold thicknesses, and breatmilk and energy and protein intakes at the 1st, 3rd and 6th month of life. The results revealed that the breastmilk intakes of these infants were ranged from 600-800 g/day during this period of time, the breastmilk intakes of the rural infants were higher significantly than that of the urban infant throughout the study period (P

Objective To study the effects of different level of iodine nutrition on the thyroid function in women of reproductive age. Methods A total of 100 (50 from each) women of reproductive age but not pregnant were collected from iodine deficient and adequate areas. The questionnaire was obtained individually with items concerning personal history of thyroid diseases, goiters and category of edible salt and drinking water based on the project design. The household salt and drinking water were collected for measuring iodine content, and blood samples were obtained for TSH, FT4 and FT3 testing. Results The coverage of iodized salt and the median level of urinary iodine in iodine deficient women(72.0% and 95.5 μg/L) were obviously lower than that in iodine sufficient women(100.0% and 167.4 μg/L, χ2=16.28, U = 632.00, P < 0.01). Median level of serum TSH in iodine deficient women (2.56 m U/L) appeared in an increasing tendency compared to the iodine sufficient women (1.88 mU/L), but there was no significance (U=990.50, P > 0.05). Serum FT4 mean level in iodine deficient women [(14.7±2.0) pmol/L]was lower than that in iodine sufficient women[(17.0±3.8)pmoI/L, t=3.76, P<0.01]. There was no difference in serum FT3 between two group women[(5.1±1.4), (4.8±0.5)pmoI/L, t = 1.59, P > 0.05]; but FT3/FT4 ratio in iodine deficient women(0.33±0.04) was markedly higher than that in the iodine sufficient women(0.30±0.04, t=3.13, P<0.01). The percentage of thyroid dysfunction in iodine deficient women[20.0% (10/50)]was higher compared with the iodine sufficient women[8.0%(4/50)], but without significance(χ2=2.99, P>0.05). Conclusions Iodine deficiency is a primary cause leading to hypothyroid in women of reproductive age. Long term of iodized salt usage is an efficient way to correct iodine deficiency.

To understand the family sex education for young children in rural areas of Sichuan province and analyze the influencing factors. A multi-stage random sampling method was used to select 2246 parents of kindergarten children from rural areas in Sichuan province for a questionnaire-based survey.The Chi-square test and Logistic regression model were used for data analysis. It was found 1132(52.33%)parents had implemented family sex education for young children and 1031(47.67%)had not.Young children having asked sex-related questions(=1.536,95%=1.257-1.878),parents thinking that early childhood sex education is necessary(=3.691,95%=2.029-6.717),and parents having the intention to know early childhood sex education(=1.700,95%=1.274-2.269),and kindergarten having implemented early childhood sex education(=3.316,95%=2.515-4.372)were promoting factors for parents to conduct early childhood sex education,whereas a total annual household income at the middle level(=0.664,95%=0.456-0.968)was a hindering factor for parents to conduct early childhood sex education. Parents of young children in rural areas of Sichuan province have poor awareness of sex education,and the proportion of parents who have never conducted sex education for children is high.The total annual income of the family,whether the children have asked about sex-related questions,parents' attitude towards early childhood sex education,and whether the kindergarten has conducted the early childhood sex education are important factors that influence the level of children's family sex education.
