Partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 7 is a rare disease and is prone to missing the diagnosis or being misdiagnosed.Here we present a case of a 13-year-old boy that showed symptoms such as growth-retardation,moderate intellectual disability,hypotelorism,microcephaly,epicanthal folds,genu varum and lumbar vertebral cleft,but it did not show serious symptoms like cleft lip,urogenital malformation and hypotonia.He was eventually diagnosed as partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 7 syndrome through gene analysis.Considering the rare incidence of this disease and more rarely for being hospitalized to endocrine ward due to growth retardation,this case report can provide more information for clinic diagnosis and differential diagnosis for growth retardation.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus has been considered as one of the most important foodborne bacterial pathogens.The loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP) that amplifies DNA with high specificity and rapidity under an isothermal condition was applied for rapid detection of this pathogen for the first time.A set of four primers,two outer and two inner primers,was designed specifically to recognize the thermolabile hemolysin gene(tlh) of V.parahaemolyticus.The LAMP reaction mix was optimized.The most optimal reaction temperature and time of the LAMP assay for the tlh gene were 60℃ and 60min,respectively.Genomic DNAs from 28 bacterial strains including 14 V.parahaemolyticus strains were amplified using LAMP,and no amplicon was observed in other bacterial strains.The detection limit of this LAMP assay was around 90 fg of V.parahaemolyticus genomic DNA and 24 colonies forming units for pure cultures.In addition,this method was applied to detect artificially contaminated food samples,and the detection limit was 89 cfu/g for non-cultured artificially contaminated food samples.These results suggested that detection of V.parahaemolyticus by LAMP is an effective and low-cost procedure with high specificity and sensitivity that requires no specialized equipment.This assay is expected to become a valuable tool for rapid detection and identification of V.parahaemolyticus.

Objective To analysis the health literacy status, trends and distribution characteristics of Ningbo residents during 2015-2016, and to provide basis for developing health policies and intervention strategies. Methods During 2015-2016, 9810 residents of 15-69 years old in Ningbo were investigated by face-to-face interviews using the unified national questionnaire and multistage PPS sampling method. Results Totally 9750 residents correctly filled out the questionnaire. The adjusted health literacy (AHL) of residents in 2016 was 21.73％, increased by 6.29 percentage points than 2015 (15.44％) .The monitoring results of two years both showed that there was no significant differences of AHL between men and women (P >0.05) . However, the AHL of residents with different age-groups, occupations and education levels all assumed significant differences (P<0.05) . The AHL was significantly higher in urban residents than rural residents (P<0.05) .Among the 6 health issues, the AHL of safety and first aid was the highest (2015: 56.98％, 2016: 61.32％), and the chronic disease prevention (2015:11.23％, 2016: 12.10％) and basic medical care (2015: 11.97％, 2016: 13.81％) were the lowest, also who had the smallest lifting range. Logistic regression analysis displayed that residents with higher level of education had higher AHL (OR=1.72, 95％CI: 1.61-1.83) . Comparison with civil servants, institutions, teachers and medical professionals, farmers (OR=0.74, 95％CI: 0.58-0.94), workers (OR=0.70, 95％CI: 0.57-0.86) and other occupational groups (OR=0.78, 95％CI: 0.64-0.96) had lower AHL. Conclusion The health literacy of Ningbo residents is on the rise, Knowledge of chronic disease prevention and basic medical care will be the main contents of health literacy enhancement program in the future, especially for people with less education.

Objective To investigate the management and control of hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) and its associated factors.Methods Data of 726in-patients with CKD and hypertension who hospitalized in our hospital from March 2009 to April 2010 were studied.Results 91.74％ of patients was treated with antihypertensive medications,and 21.21％, 22.59％, 19.56％, 28.37％ of patients received 1, 2, 3, ≥4 antihypertensive drugs,respectively.42.4％ of patients with CKD and hypertension could be controlled up to the standard,and the mean blood pressure was(137.86±20.75)/(76.30±11.35) mm Hg.There was significant difference among stage 1 plus 2, 3, 4 plus 5 (non-dialysis), 5 (dialysis) kidney diseases, with the hypertension control rate being 50.8％, 46.7％, 42.0％, 33.5％, respectively.The hypertension control rate of non-dialysis patients was significantly higher than that of dialysis (44.9％ vs 33.5％,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between blood dialysis group and peritoneal dialysis group(32.3％ vs 38.7％, P＞0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=1.787, 95％CI 1.045-3.056)and ACEI application (OR=4.378, 95％CI1.830-10.472) were positively associated with hypertension control.Whereas, diabetes (OR=0.415, 95％CI 0.188-0.919)and pulse pressure (OR =0.847, 95％ CI 0.811-0.885) were associated with inadequate blood pressure control.ConclusionsDespite almost universal hypertension treatment is used in patients with CKD and high blood pressure, the hypertension control rate is still suboptimal.Female and ACEI are positively associated with adequate hypertension control, whereas diabetes and pulse pressure are negatively associated with the standard.
