AIM: To study the expression of the VEGF in single and multiple superficial transitional cell bladder carcinoma and their clinical significance. METHODS: Immunohistochemical method was used to study the VEGF in 60 cases of superficial transitional cell bladder carcinoma and in 10 cases of normal bladder tissue as control. RESULTS: High expression of VEGF in bladder carcinoma cell was observed. The expression level of VEGF in multiple superficial transitional cell bladder carcinoma was higher than that in single superficial transitional cell bladder carcinoma. The recurrent rate in the patient with VEGF high expression was more than that in the patient with VEGF low expression. CONCLUSION: The expression level of VEGF was correlated to the biological behavior of superficial transitional cell bladder carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients suffering from autoimmune hemolytic anemia(AIHA) associated with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods The clinical data of 2 case patients with AIHA and AKI in the People's Hospital of Huadu District of Guangzhou was analyzed and associated literatures were reviewed.Results Two patients presented with severe anemia,raised reticulocyte count,positive Coomb's test,and acute renal failure.They were no effect therapy when treatment with agent of erythropoietin (EPO),iron or folic acid.The level of serum indirect bilirubin was at normal range.Liver function and serum LDH were normal too.However,treatment with corticosteroids was effective.Conclusion When patients suffering AKI occur worsening anemia,AIHA probably should be concerned.Treatment with corticosteroids early is effective.

Objective To collect the families with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus(GEFS+) and analyze the clinical status and heredity features of Chinese GEFS+.Voltaged-gated sodium channel ?1 subunit(SCN1B) gene of 2 families were detected,and expect to find new mutation sites.Methods All participant in the study of 2 families members were informed of voluntary participate in this investigation,health examination and blood sampling.All 6 gene exons of proband,patients and healthy control group were sequenced.The sequencing result was compared and analyzed with the normal sequence of genomic exon fragment and exon fragment sequencing result of control group through internet(BLAST).Results 1.A new G/A heterozygous polymorphism (G181A)was found in the 181th basyl of SCN1B gene exon 3,and codon was changed from TCG to TCA,both encoding serine (Ser,S).It was synonymous mutation.2.A new G/A heterozygous polymophism(G15A)was found in the 15th basyl of SCN1B gene exon 3,and codon was changed from GAG to GAA,both encoding glutamic acid(Glu,E).It belonged to synonymous mutation.3.A new T/C heterozygous polymorphism (T37C)was found in the 37th basyl of SCN1B gene exon 6.The patients genetype were:5 cases with T/C heterozygote,3 cases with T/T homozygote,2 cases with C/C homozygote.Healthy control group were all T/T homozygote.Allele frequency distribution for T was 55.0%,and 45.0% for C.4.A new A/C heterozygous polymorphism (A81C)was found in the 81th basyl of SCN1B gene exon 6.The patients genetype were:5 cases with A/C heterozygote,3 cases with A/A homozygote,2 cases with C/C homozygote.Healthy control group were all A/A homozygote.Allele frequency distribution for A was 55.0%,and 45.0% for C.Conclusions Two new heterozygous polymorphism (G181A),(G15A) were found in SCN1B gene exon 3.Two new heterozygous polymorphism (T37C),(A81C) were found in SCN1B gene exon 6.These 4 polymorphism enriched single nucleotide polymorphism(SPN) database and provided candidate sites for the research of epilepsy susceptbility polymorphisms.

Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus(GEFS+) is a new epilepsy syndrome proposed by International League Against Epilepsy.At present,the progress of genetic studies of GEFS+ focus on gene mapping based on family analysis,many researches indicate that GEFS+ is associated with voltaged-gated sodium channel(SCN) gene mutation.This paper intends to discuss the relationship beween GEFS+ and SCN1B,SCN2B,SCN1A,SCN2A genes,mutations in order to improve the cognition about GEFS+.
