Objective Investigation and analysis of intelligence and psychomotor function in children born after implementingt universal salt iodization(USI). Methods Historical serious illness areas of water iodine below 10μg/L were selected as study sites, water iodine in 50 - 100 μg/L in the historical non-endemic areas were as control points in Henan, 2008. Cluster sampling was used to select children aged 6 - 15 years as observing subjects,IQ were measured with CRT- Man Test(CRT-C2). A "Tianjin Medical psychomotor test battery" (JPB) was carry out to test psychomotor function. Results In IDD regions 230 children were surveyed post-USI and 1284 children preUSI. The IQs post and pre USI were 99.3 and 99.9, respectively, and the proportion of IQ ≤69 were 2.17%(6/230) and 2.80%(36/1284), respectively. In non-IDD regions 650 children were surveyed post-USI and 2079children pre-USI. The IQs post and pre USI were 95.3 and 93.8, respectively, and the proportion of IQ ≤ 69 were 2.31%(15/650) and 3.37%(70/2079), respectively. In IDD regions, the abnormal rate of T scores and damage index post USI were 3.6%(2/56), 5.3%(3/56), respectively, significantly lower than pre USI [18.1%(29/160),18.1%(29/160), x2 = 7.54, 6.86, all P ＜ 0.01]. Conclusions USI could increase the IQs of children and decrease the positive rate of JPB, and significantly improve the quality of whole nation and persistently eliminating IDD.

Objective To establish a sensitive,specific,simple and high-throughput method for detection of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in the plasma samples of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLS) by the use of mutant-enriched liquid chip (MEL) assay.Methods The specific probes for the EGFR exon19 E746-750 deletion,exon 21 L858R mutation and wild-type sequence were designed and coupled to the microspheres coding with different fluorescent dye.The probe coupling efficiency was verified by crossing hybridization test with biotin-labeled reverse sequence.A blood-based MEL approach which integrates a sensitive mutant-enriched PCR and quantitative high throughput liquid chip assay for assessment of EGFR mutations was developed.The sensitivity and specificity of MEL was further evaluated using the mixture with different copy numbers of mutant and wild-type plasmids as template.The mutations of exon 19 and 21 of EGFR gene in plasma samples from 201 patients with stage ⅢB or Ⅳ NSCLC who enrolled in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College from September 2008 to April 2010 were analyzed by both the MEL and the mutant-enriched PCR assay.The result comparison was made between direct sequencing and MEL in 50 cases whose EGFR gene type had been tested by MEL and mutantenriched PCR.The correlation of EGFR gene mutation and the response to the Geftinib treatment was analyzed in 16 patients with lung adenocarcinoma as well.Results The probes were successfully coupled to the microspheres encoding with different fluorescent dye,and could be specifically recognized by the corresponding target sequence.The MEL was capable of detecting as few as 10 copies of EGFR mutants (sensitivity was 0.1％).Among the enrolled 201 cases of advanced NSCLC,the detection rate of the EGFR exon19 E746-750 del and exon 21 L858R was 55.7％ (112/201) by MEL assay.Conpared with mutantenriched PCR[58.2％ (117/201)],the coincidence rate was 97.5％ (196/201).There was no statistically significant difference between the results of mutant-enriched PCR and MEL (x2 =3.20,P ＞ 0.05).The mutations detection rate was 22.0％ (11/50) by directing sequencing,which was significantly lower than by MEL[50.0％ (25/50),x2 =12.07,P ＜ 0.05].Among the 16 patients treated with Gefitinib,9 cases who had EGFR mutation showed a higher response rate(P =0.041)and prolonged progression-free survival (x2 =6.76,P =0.009) after the treatment compared to those 7 who without EGFR mutation.Conclusions A new method of MEL with accuracy,specificity,fast and high-throughput is established for the detection of EGFR 19 E746-750 deletion and exon 21 L858R mutations in plasma from advanced NSCLC patients.It has the ability to provide the most direct and valuable guidance for clinicians to make decision on EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy in the advanced NSCLC paticnts.

Objective:To investigate the role of alloreactive T cell in clonal deletion and regulatory T cells ( Treg) in transplant tolerance.Methods:F1 mice were bred by crossing female BALB/c mice and male C57BL/6 mice.Within 24 h,newborn C57BL/6 mice were inoculated with F1 spleen cells via the orbital branch of the anterior facial vein.Six weeks later,the mice were subjected to F1 skin grafting to evaluate their tolerance.Proliferation,flow cytometry and adoptive transfer assay were used to analyze clonal deletion of alloreactive T cells and the expression of CD4+Foxp3+T cells in neonatal treated mice.Results: Newborn C57BL/6 mice injected with F1 splenic cells could induce transplantation tolerance,the level of tolerance was associated with the dose of splenic cells.3×107 splenic cells from F1 mice could induce long-term skin graft acceptance in C57BL/6 mice ,1×107splenic cells significantly prolonged the survival of F1 skin grafts,but the grafts completely rejected within 50 days.The mixed lymphocyte reaction ( MLR) experiment in vivo showed that alloreactive T cell in long-term tolerant mice was deleted completely,but a certain amount of reactive T cells existed in the low-dose group mice.Flow cytometry ( FCM) analysis showed that the expression of CD4+Foxp3+T cell in the high-dose group and low-dose group mice had no obvious difference compared with the naive mice.When alloreactive T-cells were injected into tolerant mice,the skin graft rejection was observed,and Treg cells upregulated in graft-rejected mice.Conclusion:The degree of transplantation tolerance depended on the clonal deletion of alloreactive T cells,instead of on the expression of CD4+Foxp3+Treg cells.CD4+Foxp3+regulatory T cells upregulated in graft rejected mice,which may be served as a negative feedback mechanism to control the intensity of rejection.

Objective:To study the effect of portal vein occlusion on intestinal mucosal barrier in rats and the protection of ulinastatin to the injury,to present the experimental data for the clinical surgery.Methods:70 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into controlled group (n=10),operation group (n=30) and operation+medication group (n=30).The portal vein were occlused 40 min in the operation groups and operation+medication groups.2ml blood from portal vein,lymph nodes around appendix,1cm small intestine wall were taken for endotoxin levels,bacterial translocation and pathiology examinations in the all rats 280 mins after operation.The mocusal barrier and microscopic structure of intestine were observed.Results:Compared between the control group and the operation group,endotoxin levels,bacterial translocation rates rise greatly and gut structure change obviously in the latter.Compared between the operation group and operation+medication group,the former changes is also obvious.Conclusion:The occlusion of portal vein can leads the decrease of intestine mocusal barrier and the increase of its permeability.Ulinastatin has a good protective effect on the damages above.
