Allergic diseases such as allergic asthma, allergic der-matitis, allergic rhinitis, are polygenic diseases, involving the interaction between the environment, genes and immunity. In the past few decades, the incidence rate of allergic diseases in-creased predominantly and influenced the quality of people's lives seriously, so looking for new targets for the prevention and treat-ment of allergic diseases and drugs with less adverse reaction be-comes a hot topic for researchers. MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that mediate nega-tively posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression by targe-ting specific mRNA sequences to inhibit the translation of mR-NAs. They are widely involved in the biological processes of cell differentiation, immune response and tumor development. The study shows that miRNAs can control the occurrence and devel-opment of allergic diseases. Studying the regulatory role of miR-NAs in allergic diseases has important implications for exploring the immunopathological mechanisms and discovering new thera-peutic targets of drugs.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the phenotype and genetic variant of a fetus with dysplasia of cerebellar vermis.
METHODS:
Gestational status and family history of the gravida was taken in combination with the imaging results of the fetus. Following elected abortion, fetal tissue and peripheral blood samples of the couple were collected for the extraction of genome DNA. Whole exome sequencing was carried out to screen potential variant associated with the phenotype of the proband. Specific PCR primers were designed to verify the results by Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS:
Prenatal ultrasound revealed that the fetal vermis cerebellum was poorly developed, which was similar to the previous pregnancy. Whole exome sequencing revealed that the fetus has carried compound heterozygous variants of the CPLANE1 gene, namely c.7978C>T and c.7169delT, which were respectively inherited from the husband and wife.
CONCLUSION
The c.7978C>T and c.7169delT compound heterozygous variants of the CPLANE1 gene probably underlay the dysplasia of cerebellar vermis in the fetus, which has provided a basis for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis.

Bronchial asthma is a kind of respiratory disease which affects people 's life quality seriously. Many factors in-volved in the occurrence and development of such disease, of which the aberrant expression of E-cad plays a critical role in it. Research found that E-cad is an important cell adhesion molecu-lar, and its main function is to maintain the structural integrity of cells and participate in the improvement of airway remodeling as well as restoration of immune function. Further study showed that the role of mucosal barrier of airway epithelial cells in bronchial asthma patients was often damaged. Moreover, the protein ex-pression of E-cad decreased significantly in mucosal molecular, which suggested that the abnormal expression of E-cad was in-volved in the development of bronchial asthma. A review on the relations between the abnormal expression of E-cad protein and bronchial asthma has been discussed in this paper, also it in-cludes the discussion about the mechanisms of E-cad’ s disorder-induced bronchial asthma as well as explores the strategies of bronchial asthma treatment, which may provide references for the follow-up research and clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation and computed tomography (CT) features and clinical features in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLCs) patients. Methods The clinical data of 187 patients with NSCLCs admitted in our hospital from September 2014 to July 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients accepted the EGFR mutated gene detection, and they were divided into effective mutation group (n=67) and non-effective mutation group (n=120). The clinical data and lung CT imaging data were complete in the two groups. The univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the differences of imaging and clinical features between the two groups. Results Comparing with the non-mutation group, there were higher proportion of women and lower smoking index in the EGFR effective mutation group. Lesions in the lung tissue showed a clear edge, leaf and burr, and containing ground-glass opacity (GGO) component, usually accompanied by airway bronchogram and pleural indentation, and associated with cancer lymphatic inflammation and lung metastasis in mutation group (all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the proportion of necrosis, cavitation, calcification, halo sign and vacuole sign between the two groups (P > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that female, GGO containing composition, burr, air bronchogram, carcinomatous lymphangitis and lesion density showed obvious airway involvement were the predictive risk factors in patients with EGFR effective mutation. Conclusion The EGFR mutation occurs more oftern in female. The reliable predictive signs of CT include GGO composition, burr, airway bronchogram and carcinoid lymphangitis. In critical patients who are not easy to obtain clinical pathology, it has a guiding significance to radiographic assessment for EGFR effective mutation.
