Objective To study the effect of injection ganciclovir in infants with rotavirus disease.Methods According to age (6 months to 2 years) and typical clinical symptoms in combination with etiologic evidence of rotavirus, 76 patients within 2 days after onset were selected as study subjects. These young children were randomly assigned to two groups according to the hospitalized order.Treated group received intravenous administration of ganciclovir 5～10 mg/(kg?d) once daily for 3 days while control group didn′t receive any antivirus drugs. Rotavirus testing by ELISA on stool samples was performed for every patient on admission and the third day after treatment. Stool sample was collected to a clear box every day in patients with positive results until the reaction was negative.Results The total effective rate after treatment was 88.1% and 61.8% in treated group and the controll group, respectively. There was significant difference between these two groups(?2=20.42 P

OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathological characteristics of papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis.

METHODSUsing routine pathology and immunohistochemistry, we observed the surgically obtained samples from 2 cases of papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis, analyzed their pathological features and clinical presentations, and reviewed the related literature.

RESULTSThe 2 patients were both adult males. The tumors typically manifested as painless swelling in the epididymis, with occasionally dull pain and tenesmus in 1 of the cases. Pathologically, the lesions exhibited three morphological features, i. e., dilated ducts and small cysts surrounded by fibrous connective tissue, adenoid papillary hyperplasia into the cysts embraced by fibrovascular stroma, and acidophil substance present in the cysts. Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumors were strongly positive for CK8/18, CK7, and EMA, but negative for CK20, CEA, MC, Calretenin, P53, P63, SMA, VHL, and CD10, with the positive rate of Ki-67 <1%. Follow-up visits revealed good prognosis in both cases.

CONCLUSIONPapillary cystadenoma of the epididymis is a rare benign tumor in the male urogenital system, which may be accompanied by the VHL syndrome. Surgery is the first choice for its treatment.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the application of breast reconstruction that permits the surgeon to expand and recruit sufficient tissue for modified radical mastectomy, skin-sparing mastectomy and asymmetry deformity.

METHODSPlacement of round tissue expander in subpectoral position below. Overexpansion of tissue expander to match over 30% approximately 50% opposite breast. After 3 months, removal of tissue expander and replacement with permanent implant.

RESULTSPostoperative follow-up for 3 months to 2 years demonstrated satisfactory results in all the cases.

CONCLUSIONSThe breast reconstruction with a subpectoral silicone tissue expander is an ideal treatment to modified radical mastectomy, skin-sparing mastectomy and asymmetry deformity. The women can obtain a restored breast to approximate a full opposite breast and avoids a major distant surgical intervention and additional scars. Tissue expansion should be cautiously used in cases of patients with irradiated chest skin.

AIM:To compare the clinical effect of 23G and 25G+ vitrectomy for treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).METHODS: A total of 128 PDR patients (195 eyes) requiring vitrectomy in our hospital from November 2013 to May 2016 were randomly divided into 25G+ group and 23G group, 64 cases (97 eyes) in 25G+ group and 64 cases (98 eyes) in 23G group.In 25G+ group, patients were treated by 25G+ vitrectomy.In 23G group, patients were treated by 23G vitrectomy.The visual acuity, as well as intraocular pressure (IOP), iatrogenic injury and complications in two groups were recorded before and 1d, 1wk, 1mo after treatment.The operation time was compared between two groups.RESULTS: The operation time in 25G+ group was lower than that in 23G group (P<0.05).The postoperative visual acuity at 1mo of two groups were improved compared with before surgery (P<0.01).However, visual acuity between two groups in the same period had no significant difference (P>0.05).IOP in 25G+ group before surgery had no significant difference compared with those after surgery at 1d,1wk, and 1mo(P>0.05), which it was the same in 23G group.IOP of two groups in the same period had no significant difference (P>0.05).The incidence rate of iatrogenic injury in 25G+ group was 4.1%, which was significant lower than that of 23G group (13.3%) (P<0.05).The incidence rate of complication in 25G+ group was 3.1%, which was significant lower than that of 23G group (11.2%) (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Both 23G and 25G+ vitrectomy are safe and effective treatment for PDR.However, 25G+ vitrectomy is the better choice for PDR for the shorter operation time, lower incidence rate of iatrogenic injury and fewer surgical complications.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) Msp I gene polymorphism and childhood acute leukemia (AL).

METHODSRelevant literature was extensively searched and screened by Pubmed and Wanfang Database, Chinese Science Journal Database and Chinese Journal Net. Various data consolidation, combined OR values and their 95% CI were tested by RevMan 4.2; Funnel plots were used for the bias analysis.

RESULTSSix related literatures were found to meet the requirements. According to heterogeneity results, there was no significant difference in homozygous types(P>0.05), while there was significant difference in two others types (P all<0.05). For wild CYP1A1MspI homozygous for the reference group, Combined OR of heterozygous mutation, homozygous, heterozygous + homozygous mutation in AL and control groups were 1.18, 0.96, and 1.10 respectively. Subgroup analysis: Z values of CYP1A1MspI homozygous, heterozygous + homozygous in the acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and the control group were 0.10 and 0.76 respectively, Z values in non-acute lymphoblastic leukemia and control group were 0.74 and 0.75.

CONCLUSIONThere is no correlation between CYP1A1MspI gene polymorphism and the susceptibility of childhood AL.

OBJECTIVETo study the immunophenotype and its relationship with clinical characteristics in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

METHODSBone marrow or blood samples (2-3 mL) with heparin anticoagulation from 139 children with ALL were obtained, and immunophenotypes were identified by flow cytometry.

RESULTSIn 139 ALL children, there were 103 cases (74.1%) of B-ALL, 24 cases (17.3%) of T-ALL, 12 cases of T/B biphenotypic (8.6% of T/BALL). In the 103 children with B-ALL, CD19 (90.3%), CD10 (83.5%) and CD20 (27.2%) were expressed as major antigens. In the 24 children with T-ALL, the major antigens were CD3 (79.2%), CD7 (66.7%) and CD5 (33.3%). In the 12 children with B/T-ALL, T-lymphoid antigens included CD7 (50.0%) and CD5 (41.7%), while the B-lymphoid antigens included CD19 (50.0%) and CD10 (33.3%). Of the 139 children with ALL, 32 cases (23.0%) showed myeloid antigen expression (My+ ALL) and the main expression antigens were CD13, CD33, CD14 and MPO. CD34 was expressed in 31 cases. CD34-positive expression (15.6%) in My+ ALL children was significantly lower than in My-ALL children (24.3%). HLA-DR was expressed in 82 of the 139 ALL children. The expression of CD10, CD34 and HLA-DR in the standard-risk, medium risk, high-risk ALL children was significantly different. There were significant differences in gender and incidence of bleeding between the My+ ALL and My-ALL groups (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSImmunetyping can differentiate the sources of leukemic cells. The expression of CD10, CD34 and HLA-DR antigen is related to the clinical classification of ALL.

OBJECTIVETo establish a technological system of proteomics research for displaying the full-scale protein expression spectrum of the prostate cells.

METHODSWe obtained the epithelial cells from normal prostate tissues by laser capture microdissection (LCM) technology, extracted the proteins from them and established two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) profiles of the proteins by immobilized pH gradient (IPG) two-dimensional electrophoresis. Then protein spot detection and matching were performed with the scanner and the ImageMaster 2D Elite analysis software. With the help of the Ettanspotter and digester, protein spots that matched well across the gels were extracted, digested and further identified by assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS).

RESULTSThe 2-DE profiles of prostate cells were established, and one protein spot from normal prostate cells identified successfully.

CONCLUSIONThe 2-DE profiles of normal prostate cells have good reproducibility. We have tentatively established the proteomics research technology of normal prostate cells and demonstrated the feasibility of proteomics research with the model of human normal prostate cells.
