ObjectiveTo explore clinical distribution rule of manifestations in patients with CAS,to provide objective basis of standardization,clinical diagnosis and treatment.MethodsEpidemiological methods were used to investigate on guanan'men hospital patients with CAS.Altogether 298 records of CAS patients were enrolled in this study,the frequency of main syndromes and the distribution characteristics of accompanying symptoms were analyzed.ResultsThe main syndromes of CAS were sputum stasis syndrome,qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome,and deficiency syndrome of both liver and kidney yin,all together accounted for 39.3%.The major symptoms were vertigo or dizziness (64.1%),chest distress (60.1%),dry mouth (63.8%),amnesia (58.7%),and insomnia (50.0%) separately.ConclusionSputum stasis syndrome,Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome and deficiency syndrome of both liver and kidney yin group were as a combine form in patients with CAS,and dizziness or vertigo was its main clinical manifestation.

Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of Yufeng Ningxin drop pills in treating nervous headache with blood- stasis syndrome.Methods A double- blind,randomized,parallel- control and multi- center trial was carried out.Treatment group was treated by Yufeng Ningxin drop pills (15 pills,tid) and placebo tablet (5 tablets,tid); Yufeng Ningxin tablet (5 tablets,tid) and placebo drop pills(15 pills,tid) served as positive control.The course of treatment lasted 4 weeks.There were 60 patients in every group.Results No significant differences were found in total therapeutic effect rate( 90 % in both two groups) ,effective rate in relieving symptoms and signs( 95 % in treatment group and 91.6 % in control group) ,attacking frequency of headache,lasting- time of headache,average lasting- time of each time of headache,severity of headache,scoring of headache and scoring of symptoms and signs between the two groups.Conclusion Both Yufeng Ningxin drop pills and Yufeng Ningxin tablet are effective and safe in treating nervous headache.No obvious adverse reaction is found.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of Bushen Huoxue Prescription in the treatment of kidney deficiency and blood stasis type primary osteoporosis. Methods Totally 50 patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis type primary osteoporosis were collected. They were given Bushen Huoxue Prescription granules twice a day, taking with water, for 12 weeks. Before and after treatment, the femoral neck, Ward's area, L1–4 bone mineral density (BMD) were measured. VAS and TCM syndrome integrals were evaluated before and 4, 8 and 12 week of treatment. The level of serum osteocalcin (OC), β-C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (β-CTX) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were detected before and after treatment. Hematuria routine, liver and kidney function were under safety testing before and after treatment. Results Bushen Huoxue Prescription could significantly increase BMD of left femoral neck and Ward's triangle (P=0.001, P=0.044). L1–4 BMD increased, without statistical significance (P=0.172). The total effective rate was 60.870% (28/46) for L1–4 and left femoral neck and 58.696% (27/46) for Ward's triangle. The VAS and TCM syndrome integral decreased significantly 4 weeks treatment compared with that before the treatment (P<0.01), and the scores decreased significantly with the prolongation of treatment time (F=159.690, P<0.001; F=163.970, P<0.001). After 12 weeks, treatment, the total effective rate for TCM syndromes was 78.26% (36/46). Serum levels of OC and β-CTX showed a tendency to increase, while serum levels of OPG showed a tendency to decrease, without statistical significance (P=0.087, P=0.091, P=0.419). There was no serious adverse reaction in hematuria routine and liver and kidney function. Conclusion Bushen Huoxue Prescription has obvious clinical efficacy for kidney deficiency and blood stasis type primary osteoporosis, which can improve the patients' BMD, improve bone metabolism, relive bone pain, with high level of safety.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic etiology of a child with multiple pterygium syndrome (MPS).
METHODS:
A child with MPS who was treated at the Orthopedics Department of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University on August 19, 2020 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected. Peripheral blood samples of the child and her parents were also collected. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out for the child. Candidate variant was validated by Sanger sequencing of her parents and bioinformatic analysis.
RESULTS:
The child, an 11-year-old female, had a complain of "scoliosis found 8 years before and aggravated with unequal shoulder height for 1 year". WES results revealed that she has carried a homozygous c.55+1G>C splice variant of the CHRNG gene, for which both of her parents were heterozygous carriers. By bioinformatic analysis, the c.55+1G>C variant has not been recorded by the CNKI, Wanfang data knowledge service platform and HGMG databases. Analysis with Multain online software suggested that the amino acid encoded by this site is highly conserved among various species. As predicted with the CRYP-SKIP online software, the probability of activation and skipping of the potential splice site in exon 1 caused by this variant is 0.30 and 0.70, respectively. The child was diagnosed with MPS.
CONCLUSION
The CHRNG gene c.55+1G>C variant probably underlay the MPS in this patient.
