Objective:To investigate the clinic characters and diagnosis of Diabetic amytrophy.Methods:Two cases were systematically studied by the authors.Results:All the two cases were senile patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus.The clinical manifestations include chronic and subacute proximal amytrophy,weakness and pain of lower limbs,There were no specific auxiliary examination.Conclusion:Diabetic amyotrophy is often misdiagnosed.And careful history inquiry and physical examination can contribute to identification at an early stage,excluding other differential diagnosis.

The proliferative response of splenic lymphocytes to Con A in Wistar rat was significantly enhenced after x-irradiation of the head with 10 Gy. At a cell concentration of 5?10~6 per ml, the ratio of 3~H-TdR incorporation between the irradiated head group and whole-body shielded group was 3.20(P

The HIV-1 capsid protein plays a crucial role in viral infectivity, assembling into a fullerene cone that encloses the viral RNA and it has gained attention as a promising therapeutic target. Research has been focused on the spatial structures of capsid proteins in recent years, and peptides and small molecules targeting capsid have been discovered. In this article, it summarizes the structure information of capsid protein, analyzes and compares the binding information of different peptides and small molecules targeting capsid. At the same time we give the perspective to the future drug discovery based on the protein-protein interaction during the maturation process.

Grainhead-like 2 (GRHL2) is one of the homologous genes of Drosophila granule head-like gene in mammals,which is a kind of Drosophila granule head transcription factor.In normal organisms,GRHL2 is involved in the regulation of epithelial cell differentiation and development.In tumors,GRHL2 is complex.GRHL2 not only inhibits tumorigenesis,but it also promotes tumor formation,especially epithelial origin of malignant tumors mostly involving epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process.Further study of the relationship between GRHL2 and tumor will provide a new idea for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients.The relationship between GRHL2 and tumor is reviewed in this paper.

Head irradiation with 10 Gy X-rays was given to adrenalectomized male rats in the present study to observe the changes of serum LH, FSH and testosterone (TS) levels and testcular cAMP content. The results showed that the function of pituitary-gonad axis decreased in the adrenalectomized male rats. The levels of serum LH and FSH were lower, (P0.05). The changes might be related to the interaction of both hypothalamic CRF and GnRH neurons. Both the serum TS level (P

Objective To study the expressions of p27Kip1 (p27) protein and Ki 67 antigen in human clear cell carcinoma of kidney and to find out the relationship between the expression levels and the clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis in cases of clear cell carcinoma of kidney. Methods The expressions of p27 protein and Ki 67 antigen in the adjacent tissues of carcinoma in 20 cases and 42 cases of clear cell carcinoma of kidney were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The positive rates of p27 protein and Ki 67 antigen in clear cell carcinoma of kidney were significantly higher than those of the both in the adjacent tissues of carcinoma( P

The prevalence of invasive pulmonary fungal infections (IPFIs) has increased in children,which becomes a clinical concern in recent years.With the availabilities of new diagnostic tools for fungi and more antifungal agents,children with IPFIs may achieve a much earlier diagnosis and treatment.This article reviewed the development of laboratory tests,diagnostic criteria,treatment strategies and commonly used antifungal agents for IPFIs.

BACKGROUND: Autism is a kind of severe growth and development disorder that occurs in the infant period. It is basically characterized by social communication disorder, language development disorder, narrow area of interest, and stereotyped and repeated behavior to different extents, and is increasing in the worldwide. Education training is still taken as the major for the rehabilitation therapy of autism.OBJECTIVE: Case analysis is performed to provide elicitation for mainstreaming education training of children with autism and proper suggestions for education worker and children patients' parents.DESIGN: Case analysis.SETTING: Department of Rehabilitation, Nanjing Technical College of Special Education; Nanjing Shangxinhe Primary School.PARTICIPANTS: One male child patient, born in June 1998, was diagnosed as autism by Shenyang Children's Hospital. They met the diagnostic criteria of infantile autism of the 4th edition of diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (1994, USA).METHODS: Comprehensive intervention was performed in the child with autism for 5 months. Education measures consist of: ① to well accept class learning. ② showing merits in class. ③ to well apply learning contents in life. ④ to establish friendship. ⑤ to establish good behaviors and eliminate abnormal behaviors. ⑥ to pay more attention in class.⑦ to train the perceptivity in class. ⑧ to choose proper examination methods. ⑨ to establish pleasant and confluent plate time. The procedures were as follows: we had one telephone interview to the teachers and parents of child patient every day, one face-to-face communication with the teachers, parents and classmates of child patient every week. Education strategy was regulated in time aiming to the concrete condition of child patient.Wechsler Intelligence scale was used to measure the intelligence quotient (IQ) at the beginning and end of the experiment. The changes in behavioral performance in class and playtime of patient were summed up.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The measurement results of Wechsler IQ of patient at the end of the experiment. ② Changes in the behavioral performance of patient in class. ③ Changes in the behavioral performance of child patient in playtime.RESULTS: ① Measurement results of Wechsler IQ of patients at the end of the experiment were as follows: verbal IQ 80 points, performance IQ 110 points, full scale IQ 95 points. There was 30-point discrepancy between performance IQ and verbal IQ, and 9 points between the highest and lowest scores. The imbalance of intelligence development had turned better.② Changes in behavioral performance in class: The child patient was basically the same as other children. He could attend a class silently, followed the teacher to learn, did not disturb class, and show his brilliance with proper style. ③ Changes in the behaviors in playtime: made friends; was interested and participated in the games of the classmates, entered the classroom when he heard the ring without the help from the teacher.CONCLUSION: After 5-month rehabilitation training, the mainstreaming status of patient with autism is significantly improved as compared with before intervention. Application of various rehabilitation-training methods can improve the education effect of patient with autism.

The abnormal changes of tumor suppressor genes such as deletion mutant,transcription inactivation or silence on human chromosome 3p (pter) are considered as a key step which is closely related to the tumorigenesis of several kinds of cancers,especially clear cell renal cell carcinoma,one kind of renal cancer.And on this basis,it has been confirmed that the deletion and downregulation of multiple 3p genes such as VHL,RASSF1A,SEMA3B,SETD2,PBRM1,NPRL2 and so on,play a vital important role in the tumorigenesis and development of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.And they provide a further way to explain the molecular mechanism of the tumorigenesis of kidney cancer.However,when the regulatory pathway and mechanism research of some genes are known to us,the other genes,especially those newly founded,which are still not clear and need to be further investigated.
