Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of routine dose of calcitriol and large dose impulsion therapy on hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT). Methods 48 uremic hemodialysis patients were divided into group A(routine group, n = 22) and group B(control group, n = 21 ). In group A,22 pa-tients were administered with calcitriol for 6 months at the dosage of 0.25~0.5μg/d,adding calcium agents simul-taneously;the patients in group B were not given calcitriol for economic reason. In group C,21 patients were given calcitriol twice a week at the dosage of 2μg/time after hemodialysis for 3 months. Results Comparing to group B,serum PTH,AKP in group A had no significant difference,but serum hypocalcium and hyperphasphate were partly corrected,symptoms of bone pain, muscular convulsion and akin pruriter were improved. Comparing to group A,serum hypocalcium and hyperphasphate in group C were corrected, serum PTH, AKP were significantly decreased( t=2.031,P<0.05;t =3.317,P<0.001),and no hypercalcium oecurred. Conelosion Routine dose of calcitriol can not control uremic-SHirr,while impulsion therapy with lower dose oral calcitriol is effective and safe.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the significance of diagnosis of tempanosclerosis by HRCT combined with pure tone audiometry. METHODS 176 patients(181 ears) with chronic suppurative otitis media in stationary phase were recruited in Guizhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital between January 2014 to December 2015. Temporal bone HRCT combined with pure tone audiometry were applied to all patients before operation to diagnose tempanosclerosis. Intraoperative exploration results was the gold standard to observe sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio and the difference of accuracy of two diagnostic methods. RESULTS 1. The sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood, negative likelihood ratio and accuracy of tympanosclerosis diagnosed only by temporal bone HRCT were 58.55%, 93.10%, 8.49, 0.46 and 64.09% respectively. 2. The sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood, negative likelihood ratio and accuracy of tympanosclerosis diagnosed by HRCT combined with pure tone audiometry were caculated as 94.08%, 89.66%, 9.09, 0.01 and 93.37% respectively. Type I diagnostic accordance rate was 89.66%, type II was 87.50%, type III was 84.62%and type IV was 82.14%. The total diagnosis coincidence rate was 86.18%. The diagnostic efficacy increased significantly by the combined method than by the temporal bone HRCT alone. CONCLUSION Temporal bone HRCT combined with pure tone audiometry is valuable in diagnosis of tympanosclerosis. It can provide theoretical basis for making optimal operation scheme in suspect tympanosclerosis patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of three kinds of skin external use in the prevention and treatment of radiation dermatitis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods 120 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who were treated form August 2014 to October 2015 were divided into three groups by random number table method, namely, aloe vera gel group, triethanolamine cream group, radiation treatment of skin protectants (lifuning) group. Except for different medications among the groups, the other conditions remained relatively consistent. 3 groups were compared in the radiotherapy classification, area, local pain score, and topical drug costs during the radiotherapy and the radiation dose when radiation dermatitis occurred the first time. Results Three kinds of skin external use had a preventive effect, but the effect was different. Three groups′ patients with radiation dermatitis incidence was 100%, but occurred at different levels. Aloe vera gel cream group and triethanolamine group were mainly for gradeⅡradiation dermatitis, grade IV radiation dermatitis occurred in 2 cases and 4 cases, lifuning group were mainly for grade Ⅰ and grade Ⅱ radiation dermatitis, grade Ⅲ radiation dermatitis only occurred 2 cases, noⅣgrade radiation dermatitis occurred. Comparison among the three groups, the difference was statistically significant (H=8.758,P<0.05). 3 groups of patients after treatment all suffered pain, 12 patients in triethanolamine cream group , 7 patients in lifuning group , only 2 cases in aloe vera gel group (H=8.586,P<0.05). The average cost of skin external used in 3 groups was different, triethanolamine cream group was 546.0 yuan, lifuning group was 458.2 yuan, and aloe vera gel group was 157.5 yuan. Among the three groups pairwise comparison, the differences in triethanolamine cream group and aloe vera gel group were statistically significant in pain (χ2=9.62,P<0.05), aloe vera gel group was better than the group of triethanolamine cream, the differences among radiation dermatitis grade, size and radiation dose of radiation dermatitis occurred the first time were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The difference between in lifuning group and triethanolamine cream group in pain had no statistically significant (χ2=2.47,P>0.05), other indexes had significant differences (P < 0.05). Lifuning was better than the triethanolamine cream to reduce and delay the onset and deterioration of radiation dermatitis and could prevent a widening of the area of radiation dermatitis;aloe vera gel group and lifuning group had a significant difference in radioepidermitis grade (χ2=6.32,P<0.05). Lifuning was better than the aloe vera gel and was more conducive to reduce and delay the occurrence of radiation dermatitis, other indexes differences had no statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions Considering the efficacy, pain and price three aspects which skin external use prevention and treatment radiation dermatitis patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lifuning as the mixture of triethanolamine and aloe can effectively reduce and delay the chance of radiation dermatitis, reduce the radiation field experience of local pain, and affordable, the patients are more acceptable, it′s worthy of clinical use.

Objective To study the clinical and genetic features of Lowe syndrome. Methods The clinical data and test results of OCRL gene from two children with Lowe syndrome were analyzed. The related literatures were reviewed. Re-sults Two male patients all presented with low molecular proteinuria, hypercalciuria, rickets and nephrolithiasis. Patient 2 had renal tubular acidosis, glycosuria and cryptochism. Patient 1 was found to have abnormal vision and congenital cataract soon after birth and treated surgically. Patient 1 also had psychomotor retardation and the cranial magnetic resonance ima-ging (MRI) showed agenesis of the corpus callosum. Patient 2 did not have obviously extra-renal symptoms, but was found to have mild cataract by a meticulous ophthalmological examination. MRI showed cerebral hypoplasia and myelination delay and mental retardation was gradually appeared during follow-up. Two OCRL gene mutations were detected. A splice site mutation NG_008638.1:g.46846-46848delTAA/insC was found in patient 1 and a frame shift mutation NM_000276.3:c.321delC in exon 5 was found in patient 2. Both mutations were not reported previously. Conclusions The diagnosis of Lowe syndrome is mainly by clinical manifestations and test of OCRL gene. Lowe syndrome needs to be included in the differential diagnosis of a patient with congenital cataract and renal tubulopathy. Two novel mutations in the OCRL gene were identiifed.

BACKGROUND:Chitosan hydrogel has good biocompatibility, biodegradability and antibacterial property, which can promote tissue healing and induce bone formation. As a scaffold carrying growth factors, it can ensure the efficient and slow release of exogenous growth factors.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of injectable nano/chitosan/bone morphogenetic protein-2 composite to promote periodontal tissue regeneration in rats.
METHODS:Fifty-four Wistar rats were randomized into three groups, and then chronic periodontitis model of the second molar was established. After modeling, injectable nano/chitosan/bone morphogenetic protein-2 composite was implanted into the periodontal tissue of the second molar in the experimental group; injectable nano/chitosan hydrogel was implanted in the control grouop; and nothing was implanted in the blank group. At 3, 6, 9 weeks after surgery, gingival bleeding index, probing depth, and tooth mobility were detected. X-ray and histopathological observations were carried out.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 9 weeks after surgery, the probing depth and tooth mobility were both lower in the experimental group than the other two groups (P < 0.05). In the experimental group, the alveolar bone height was restored at the root bifurcations, bone trabeculae were arranged densely and evenly, the newly formed periodontal ligament and alveolar bone tissues were dense and equaly distributed in the bone defect area at 9 weeks after surgery, indicating a better restoration effect than the control and blank groups. These findings suggest that the injectable nano/chitosan/bone morphogenetic protein-2 composite has an anti-inflammatory role and can guide periodontal tissue regeneration.

Objective To observe the expression of brain-derived neurotrophical factor (BDNF) in injury spinal cord after transplantation olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), and to investigate the mechanism of OECs repairing spinal cord injury.Methods OECs from GFP transgenic rats were separated and cultured for transplantation. Spinal cord injury rats were separated two groups by random digits table. In experimental group, OECs suspension were transplanted into injured spinal cord following spinal cord injury. In control group, DMEM was transplanted into the injured spinal cord after spinal cord injury. Motor function was evaluated per week after transplantation. The expression levels of BDNF mRNA and protein were detected by using RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry respectively, and compared with those from normal SD rats.Results Motor function of two groups was improved gradually after transplantation. The motor function scores in experimental group was obviously higher than in control group at 21st day after transplantation (P<0.05). A lot of survival GFP OECs distributed around impaired myeloid tissue. At 21st day after transplantation, BDNF mRNA and protein expression in experimental group were strongest (P<0.05), and stronger in control group than in normal group (P<0.05).Conclusion The transplantation of OECs can repair the injured spinal cord by increasing the expression of BDNF mRNA and protein to improve local microenvironment.
