Intestinal neuronal dysplasia is a common disease of chronic constipation in children, which is one of the Hirschsprung disease allied disorders. In recent years, the diagnostic methods of intestinal neuronal dysplasia have been improved, but diagnostic criteria are not standardized yet. The treatments include conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Special attention should be paid to save the integrity of the anal canal during operation. Moreover, using intestinal transplantation of neural stem cells and small intestinal transplantation to treat intestinal neuronal dysplasia has gained increasing attention.

Vitamin D participates in a variety of biological processes. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25-(OH)2D]is the active form of vitamin D. Besides its classical role in bone and calcium homeostasis, 1,25-(OH)2D has many non-classical functions such as regulating proliferation and differentiation of cells in various tissues, including tumor cells as well. However, the role of 1,25-(OH)2D in thyroid cancer is not clear yet. There are three integral components of the vitamin D pathway in thyroid cells. These components are the vitamin D receptor, 1α-hydroxylase (CYP27B1), and 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1). Differences in the expression levels of these components in normal thyroid tissue and thyroid cancer tissue may offer clues and lay the foundation for study of the inhibitory function in the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer.This review focuses on the insights gained in the elucidation of the role of 1,25-(OH)2D pathway in thyroid cancer, one of the most common endocrine malignancies.

Objective To explore the role of miRNA-148a in bladder tumorous development and progression.Methods Ex-pression of miRNA-148a was assessed in 35 bladder carcinoma tissues and 16 non-carcinoma tissues by fluorescence quanti-tative real time PCR,and correlation with clinical features was evaluated.Target genes and transcription factors of miRNA-148a were predicted using bioinformatic analysis,then TF-miRNA-148a-target genes network diagram was built and the tar-get genes was analyzed of gene ontology enrichment and KEGG pathway.Results Expression of miRNA-148a was lower in bladder carcinoma tissues than in non-carcinoma tissues(0.000 8±0.000 2 vs 0.002 1±0.000 5)(t=2.46,P <0.05),but its expression was no statistical significance in different groups of gender,age,pathological classification,clinical stage, lymph node metastasis (P >0.05).268 target genes of miRNA-148a were predicted by three softwares at the same time,60 transcription factors were predicted and the binding sites with combination scroes above 80 was 657.The target genes of miRNA-148a was enriched in many biological processes,such as neuron differentiation,generation of neurons,neuron projec-tion development,cytoplasmic mRNA processing body,cytoplasm(P <0.001).They also participated in p53 signaling path-way,proteoglycans in cancer-homo sapiens,pathways in cancer,prostate cancer,protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, focal adhesion and so on(P <0.05).According to TF-miRNA-148a-target genes network diagram,miRNA-148a was regula-ted by SP1,ESR1,AP1,MYC and BRCA1,genes of IGF1,P27kip1 ,NCOA1,PTEN,SERPINE1 might be regulated by miR-NA-148a.Conclusion miRNA-148a which was significantly down-regulation in bladder carcinoma tissues may be participate in bladder tumorous development and progression,bioinformatics analysis provides some ideas for further research.

There were differences among the con-tents of C. sinensis from different areas,however,the positive correlation was found between the content of total phenolics and the total amount of chlorogenic acid and protocatechuic acid with the pearson correlation coefficient of 0.719(P<0.01).CONCLU-SIONS:The established method is simple,accurate and reproducible and can be used for the content determination of chlorogenic acid,protocatechuic acid and total phenolics in chaenomelis fructus.

BACKGROUND:Cataract is not the necessary symptom for myotonic dystrophy(DM).But it may be the early and even only clinical symptom of DM.Molecular diagnosis can provide the important evidence for the diagnosis of DM.OBJECTIVE:To explore the characteristics of cataract in 26 patients with myotonic dystrophy of 3 pedigrees from Shanghai Songjiang area.DESIGN:Analysis on the Genealogy of Pedigree.SETTING:Department of Neurology,Shanghai Changhai Hospital.PARTICIPANTS:Twenty-six patients of 3 pedigrees,aged 7 to 71 years old,which were preliminarily diagnosed as DM patients or were suspicious DM patients,admitted to Department of Neurology,Shanghai Changhai Hospital between May 2001 and August 2003,were recruited in this study.Among the involved patients,13 corresponded to the clinical diagnosis standard from Practical Neurology,and the other 13 patients have adverse symptoms and (or) body signs of partial or mild DM,suspecting with DM patients.METHODS:①Peripheral blood of 1 mL was taken and genome DNA was extracted.By using a thermocycler,a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out to examine the CTG repeats according to criteria of molecular diagnosis (CTG repeats from 80-3350).②In addition,slit-lamp examination for specific lens opacity was carried out and the association between DM and cataract was analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①CTG trinucleotide repeat numbers.②Association between DM and cataract.RESULTS:Of the 26 patients,25 participated in the final analysis except 1 who suffered from sterility clinically.①25 patients were consistent with the molecular diagnostic criteria of DM (CTG repeats from 80-3 350).The remaining 1 with CTG repeats of 13 was clinically sterility and therefore belonged to the normal individual.The (CTG)n triplet repeats of 17 patients with cataract were 2380±80,while 8 patients with cataract were 2298±105(P＞0.05).②Cataract was characterized as iridescent lens opacity or blue posterior cortical lens opacity in 17 patients.Among the 17 patients,cataract in 8 patients was the only early clinical sign whose(CTG) n triplet repeats were higher than the normal ones.CONCLUSION:In the pedigrees with DM patients,characteristic cataract,as a main and even only early clinical sign,will provide important clinical evidence for the early diagnosis of DM.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of lengthening and rotational osteotomy of the fibula for lateral malleolar malunion. Methods Twenty-three patients who had suffering from the traumatic arthritis of ankle were due to lateral malleolar malunion treated with lengthening and rotational osteotomy from October 2005 to July 2008. Special radiographs were use to fully detect the extent of shortening and rotation of the fibula. The Lengthening and rotational osteotomy could be conducted with a special compression/distraction device and bone graft. The function of the ankles was evaluated by the American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system. Serial radiographs of the ankle were made to assess the bone healing and changes of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Results Seventeen of 23 patients were followed up, with a mean 29.1 months (12-45 months). All the fractures were healed. The mean bone healing time was 13.3 weeks (11-16 weeks) and the mean time of total weight-bearing was 12.1 weeks (11-15 weeks). The ankle function score had improved from 29 (21-47) preoperatively to 81 (56-91)12 months after the operation. There was 5 in excellent, 8 in good, 3 in mild, 1 in poor, and the rate of good outcomes was 76.5%. After the operation, 1 patient had a skin necrosis around the wound which healed by conservative treatment. A slightly aggravated degeneration of the ankle joint was seen in 2 patients who responded to conservative managements. No failure of the internal fixation was noted in this group. Conclusion The outcomes demonstrate that reconstructive lengthening osteotomy is well worthwhile when there is absent or minimal osteoarthritic change, regardless the time from the original injury. Lengthening of the fibula is an important step in the treatment of the painful ankle when the fibula become shorter after injury, even when degenerative changes of the joint are already present. The lengthening of the fibula could lead to a good outcome in ankle with lateral malleolar malunion.
