Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance ot the expression ot microRNA in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with schizophrenia.Methods 174 patients with schizophrenia in Danzhou People 's Hospital were selected as the case group and the other 80 healthy persons as control group The relative expression levels of 8 microRNA in two groups of plasma and pcripheral blood mononuclear cells were detected by real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR(MiR-195,MiR-346,MiR-181b,MiR-212,MiR-30e,MiR-432,MiR 7,MiR-34a),and the differences of microRNA in the plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were compared between the two groups.ROC curve was used to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of microRNA as diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and Logistic regression analysis of the relative risk of microRNA in schizophrenia.Results The expression levels of MiR-195,MiR-181b,MiR-132,MiR-30e,MiR-7 and in the patients of the case group(3.11±1.05,2.18±0.72,1.85±0.74 and 9.61±1.87) were significantly higher than those in the control group(4.48±1.07,2.92±0.86,3.53±1.07 and 11.96±2.73,P<0.05 or P<0.01).The expression levels of MiR-181b,MiR-212,MiR-30e and MiR-34a in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients in the case group (-4.20±1.16,0.27 ±0.55,-4.83± 1.05 and 2.64± 1.08) were significantly higher than those in control group (-3.56±0.81,0.91±0.68,-3.49±1.22 and 3.95±1.03,P<0.05 or P<0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that plasma MiR-181b and MiR-30e were significantly relative risk (OR=2.357,95 % CI:1.361 ~ 4.093;OR=2.064,95 % CI:1.147~3.815),and peripheral blood mononuclear cells MiR-30e also had significant relative risk (OR=1.628,95 %CI:0.914~2.926).ROC curve analysis showed that 95%CI and AUC in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of MiR-181b were 0.702 (0.784~0.632),0.658 (0.593 to 0.736),and plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cell of MiR-30e were 0.775 (0.706~0.857),0.758 (0.686~0.839),respectively.Spearman correlation analysis showed that plasma MiR 181b and plasma MiR-30e were significantly correlated (r=0.547,P =0.043).Conclusion Abnormal expression of microRNA in patients with schizophrenia,and plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells MiR-181b and MiR-30e had good diagnostic value for schizophrenia patients.

Objective To observe the effect of transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE)with Glubran-2 glue for treating hemorrhage after percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage(PTCD).Methods Data of 17 patients with hemorrhage after PTCD who underwent TAE with Glubran-2 glue were retrospectively analyzed.The technical success rate,clinical success rate and complications were observed.The red blood cell(RBC)and hemoglobin(Hb)on the day of TAE and the next day of TAE were compared,also the glutamic-pyruvic transaminase(GPT)level before TAE,on the next day of TAE,on the second and the fourth day after TAE,respectively.Results The offending vessel of bleeding was successfully embolized in all 17 cases,both technical success rate of TAE and clinical success rate of hemostasis were 100%.There was no serious complication such as liver abscess,septicemia nor pulmonary embolism.No significant difference of RBC nor Hb was found between the day of TAE and the next day of TAE(both P>0.05).GPT before TAE was lower than the next day of TAE and the second day after TAE(P<0.05),while no significant difference of GPT was found before TAE and 4 days after TAE(P>0.05).Conclusion TAE with Glubran-2 glue for treating hemorrhage after PTCD was safe and effective.

PTPN11 is the most common mutation gene of RAS disease, which is located in the upstream of RAS/MAPK pathway and participates in signal transduction. Because the molecular mechanism of RAS's disease involves the same pathway, it may present a certain commonality in clinic, but the different genotypes with PTPN11 mutation may also express different phenotypes. Therefore, it is not easy to identify and diagnose this disease early in clinic. The present article aims to analyze the correlation between the clinical phenotype and genotype of 4 patients with RAS disease.

Objective To explore the etiology and clinical characteristics of short stature. Method Clinical data of 2075 children with short stature treated from May 1995 to July 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The etiology and morbidity of pathological short stature and normal variant short stature were analyzed. The clinical characteristics of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) , idiopathic short stature (ISS) , constitutional delay in growth (CDG) and familial short stature (FSS) were analyzed. The etiological differences between severe short stature [height standard deviation score (SDS) ≤-3] and general short stature (height SDS>-3) were analyzed. Results Among 2075 children diagnosed with short stature, 1719 (82.84%) were pathological short stature, among which GHD (38.60%) and ISS (22.02%) were more common. Normal variant short stature was found in 356 children (17.16%) , with FSS and CDG accounting for 10.70% and 6.46% respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the sex ratio, age at initial diagnosis, height SDS, body mass index (BMI) , bone age and bone age delay among children with four common childhood short stature (GHD, ISS, CDG and FSS) (all P<0.01) . Boys were more than girls in four kinds of childhood short stature. The height SDS was the lowest in GHD group and the highest in CDG group; BMI was highest in GHD group, but lower in CDG and ISS group. Bone age delay was highest in GHD group and lowest in CDG group. In severe short stature group, the rates of complete GHD, multiple pituitary hormone deficiency, small for gestational age infant, Turner syndrome, hypothyroidism and Russell-Silver syndrome were higher than those in general short stature group, but the rates of partial GHD, ISS, FSS and CDG was lower than those in general short stature group. Conclusion The etiology of short stature is complex. Analysis of the etiology and clinical features is helpful for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:
To investigate the long-term effects of GnRHa treatment on final height gain, gonadal function, and body mass index(BMI) in children with central precocious puberty(CPP) or early and fast puberty(EFP), and to explore the influencing factors of height gain and early predictors.
Methods:
Fifty patients with CPP and 44 patients with EFP who were treated with GnRHa for more than 2 years were enrolled(80 females and 14 males). Body height, bone age, BMI, gonads hormone, uterus and ovarian volumes(female), testicular volume(male), and other parameters before and after treatment were measured.
Results:
(1)For girls: GnRHa plus GH treatment gained more final height compared with GnRHa treatment [(10.69±5.73) cm
