Objective To evaluate the biological characteristics of hip joint in infants with developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH).Methods From January 2013 to June 2016,30 patients (age from 1 to 8 months,25 females and 5 males) who were diagnosed as DDH,underwent ultrasound examination in Shenzhen Children's Hospital,in these patients 20 cases were treated surgically,and 10 cases were treated with non-surgical treatment.There were 34 hips (26 unilateral dislocation and 4 bilateral dislocation) dislocation in 60 hips.All the patients were confirmed by X-ray,magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination or operation.All the patients were examined by ultrasound through the coronal and transverse plane of the hip joint.The α angle,femoral head coverage ratio by acetabulum (FHC),femoral head length and width,distance from pubis to femoral head (P-H) and distance from ischium to femoral head (I-H) were measured.The dislocation joints were compared with contralateral joints.Results The α angle in the hip dislocation group was smaller than the contralateral group [(50.5±3.75)° vs (64.8±3.38) °],and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=-15.181,P < 0.001).The FHC,femoral head length and width in the hip dislocation group were all smaller than the contralateral group [(23.4t17.63)% vs (64.3±6.45)%,(0.98 ±0.15) cm vs (1.19 ±0.11) cm,(1.38±0.21) cm vs (1.61 ±0.16) cm],and there were significant differences between the two groups (t=-12.469,-6.034,-4.568,all P < 0.001).The P-H and I-H in the hip dislocation group were larger than the contralateral group [(0.97±0.45) cm vs (0.27±0.05) cm,(0.75±0.30) cm vs (0.17±0.05) cm],and there were significant differences between the two groups (t=8.805,10.696,both P < 0.001).The α angle,femoral head length and width in bilateral dislocation of hip group were slightly smaller than the unilateral dislocation of hip group [(50.3±2.75)° vs (51.3±4.77)°,(0.90 ±0.15) cm vs (0.97 ±0.12) cm,(1.25±0.20) cm vs (1.37 ±0.17) cm],but there were no significant differences between the two groups.The P-H and I-H in bilateral dislocation of hip group were slightly larger than the unilateral dislocation of hip group [(0.97 ± 0.49) cm vs (0.80±0.31) cm,(0.92±0.26) cm vs (0.68±0.18) cm],but there were no significant differences between the two groups.The value of acetabular index in the ultrasound group was slightly larger than the X-ray group [(33.13 ± 7.82)° vs (31.20 ± 8.31)°],and there were no significant differences between the two groups.Conclusions The characteristics of DDH includes acetabulum and femoral head dysplasia,and femoral head and acetabulum position relationship abnormalities.Quantitative ultrasonography of the hip can be used to quantitatively evaluate the structural features of DDH,and it is helpful to the early diagnosis and follow-up of DDH.

Objective To analyze and evaluate changes of the brain gray matter in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods 46 patients with PD and 19 normal control(NC) subjects(matched to the patients in age and gender) were selected in this study.46 cases of PD were divided into early PD group(ePD,25 cases) and middle-advanced PD group(maPD,21 cases) by improved Hoehn-Yahr(H-Y) stages.All the subjects underwent 3.0T MR scanning,and data of high resolution T1-weighted imageing (T1WI) were acquired.Gray matter volume differences between PD group and NC group,or ePD group and maPD group were assessed by voxel-based morphometry (VBM) combined diffeomorphic anatomical registration through exponentiated lie (DARTEL) method.Results The gray matter volume of the bilateral frontal lobes, temporal lobes, insular lobes, cingulum gyrus, hippocampus, fusiform gyrus, cerebellum and right cuneus lobe and precuneus lobe in the PD group was smaller than that in the NC group.The gray matter volume of the bilateral frontal lobes, temporal lobes,insular lobes,cingulum gyrus,rectus gyrus,lingualis gyrus,fusiform gyrus,hippocampus,amygdaloid and cerebellum in the maPD group was smaller than that in the ePD group.Conclusion VBM reveals a widespread volume reduction of the gray matter in PD patients,and detectes a correlation with disease duration and severity.These changes located in special distribution may be in line with the pathology of PD.

Objective To develop and validate a simple and reliable HPLC method for the analysis of L-carnitine in human seminal plasma and to investigate its clinical significance as a potentially useful index of infertile.Methods After proteins in seminal plasma are precipitated with acetonitrile,L-carnitine in seminal plasma was derivatized to form its ester.HPLC separation of the sample solution was performed on a Lichrospher SiO_2 column and detected by ultraviolet absorbance at 260 nm.A mobile phase composed of acetonitrile-citrie acid buffer(containing 12 mmol/L triethanolamine,pH 5.0)was found to be the most suitable for this separation at a flow rate of 1.2 ml/min and enabled the baseline separation of the L-carnitine from interferences with isocratic elution.The L-carnitine levels in seminal plasma were studied in both 87 patients with infertility and 30 control subjects.Results Under the chromatographic conditions described, the L-carnitine derivative had a retention time of approximately 13 min.Good separation and detectability of L-carnitine in human seminal plasma sample were obtained.The method proved to be linear in the range of L-carnitine from 0 ?mol/L to 1000 ?mol/L.The relative standard deviations of within-and between-assay for L-carnitine analysis were 1.23% and 1.36%,respectively.The recoveries were 91.6% -96.5% for the human seminal plasma samples.L-carnitine concentrations in the populations were(392.7?107.2)?mol/L in the fertile group(n=30),(270.0?83.9)?mol/L in asthenozoospermia group(n=29),(187.9? 43.9)?mol/L in oligozoospermia group(n=19)and(175.7?67.1)?mol/L in oligoasthenozoospermia group(n=39).The large difference(P0.05).Conclusion The determination of L-carnitine level in seminal plasma may prove useful as a potentially biochemical marker of fertility and this is a useful guidance for the clinic therapy and the mechanismic study on the male reproduction.

HIV-1 fusion inhibitors are a new class of anti-HIV compounds, which block the entry of HIV into target cells through preventing the fusion between viral and cell plasma membrane and thus interrupt the initial steps of viral replication. T-20 (enfuvirtide), which has been clinically approved as the first fusion inhibitor of HIV-1 by U.S. FDA in 2003, can suppress replication of HIV variants with multi-drug resistance to reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitors. Peptides and small molecules display potent anti-HIV fusion activities by targeting gp41 thus inhibit its fusogenic function. In recent years, with the development of studies on the molecular mechanism of HIV membrane fusion process and the function of gp41, many new fusion inhibitors are found and some have been in advanced clinical trials. This review discusses recent progress in the development of HIV-1 fusion inhibitors targeting the gp41.
