Objective To evaluate the clinical value of small doses of solifenacin to treat children of primary nocturnal enuresis. Methods Children (n=78) of primary nocturnal enuresis were randomly divided into treatment group(39 cases) and control group(39 cases). All children received behavioral intervention therapy, while children in the treatment group were given Solifenacin(5 mg/tablet, 1/3 tablet, 1 times a day for 3 months) orally besides behavioral therapy. Children were followed up for 3 months after the end of the treatment, and the curative effect and recurrence rate were compared between two groups. Results Compared with that of children in control group, cure rate of children in treatment group is higher at the end of treatment (89.7%vs 69.2%, P<0.05) as well as by 3 month of follow-up time (82.1%vs 46.2%, P<0.05). The re?currence rate of children in treatment group, by three months follow-up time, was lower than that of children in control group (8.6%vs 33.3%,P<0.05). Conclusion Small dose of Solifenacin in addition to behavioral intervention is safe and effec?tive in treatment of children with enuresis, which enhance cure rate and reduce recurrence.

Objective To investigat the safe time of SVC interruption in New Zealand rabbits, and help to find the safe time ofSVC interruption in chnical operation. Methods 25 New-Zealand rabbits were separated into 3 groups randomly. Bi-SVC was cross-clamped for one hour, two hours in animal models. The femoral artery or SVC pressures were monitored. The control group (sham op-eration group, 5) were opened chest both sides and monitored femoral artery pressure and SVC pressure for 2 hours. Samples of cere-brum, cerebellum and medulla of rabbits immediately post-operation were studied for water content, light and electric microscopies.The tiny change of brain cells in brain mantle, hippocampus and thalamencephal were observed under electron microscope. Results(1) The SVC pressure of rabbits varied regularly in occlusion groups, which displayed as "upgrade-degression- upgrade again-retain".(2) There was no obvious difference in water content of brain between the one hour group and the control group, both of which weremuch lower than two hours group. (3) The brain tissues were almost in normal construction in one hour group, but encephaledema wasobserved in two hours group. The pathological change of cony brain cells was light and reversible in one hour group. However, in twohours group, necrosis of neuron ceils in brain could be observed, which was irreversible. Concerto The animal model of acuteSVC obstruction was built successfully. Interruption of the SVC for 1 hour was proved safe, with longer interruption of SVC 2 hours,obvious encephaledema and necrosis of neuron cells can be observed.

Objective To determine the effects of Hyperoside ( Hyp) on the memory impairment induced by hypobaric hypoxia. Meth-ods SD rats were exposed in hypobaric hypoxia chamber which simulated 6 100 m high altitude for 7 days to induce memory impairment. Morris maze was applied to determine the effects of Hyp on memory in hypobaric chamber. The activities of SOD and CAT and levels of GSH and MDA in rat hippocampus were measured by assay kit ( Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute) . Results In target quadrant,the time and path and the frequency to cross platform were reduced under hypobaric hypoxia as compared with normoxia group ( P < 0. 05 or P<0. 01). Administration of Hyp significantly attenuated the hypoxia-induced the memory impairment responses(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The activities of SOD and CAT in rats hippocampus exposed to hypobaric hypoxia were significantly improved in the presence of Hyp as com-pared with the absence of Hyp(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01),so did GSH level (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Significant decrease of MDA levels was observed in the hippocampus on exposure to hypobaric hypoxia with Hyp as compared without Hyp. Conclusion Hyp reduces hypoxia-in-duced oxidative stress injury by upregulating activity of antioxidant proteins such as SOD,CAT in hippocampus of rats, which contribute to at-tenuate memory impairment induced by hypobaric hypoxia.

Abstract: Objective To identify the pathogenetic characteristics of an aggregated outbreak of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis in a school in Bao'an District, Shenzhen in 2023, and to analyze its virological characteristics, providing a reference and basis for the rapid tracing of the source of infection and the handling of such outbreaks. Methods A total of 22 eye swab samples were collected from an AHC cluster in a school in Bao'an District, Shenzhen in 2023. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR) method was used to detect Enterovirus 70 (EV70) and Coxsackievirus A24 (CVA24) viruses in eye swab specimens collected from patients. The positive samples were performed by full sequencing of the viral gene (VP1 nucleotide). The sequenced data was compared with that from different periods and regions for CVA24, analyzing homologies and constructing a phylogenetic tree. Additionally, the nucleotide sequences were translated into amino acid sequences to analyze mutations at the amino acid sites. Results Among the 22 eye swab specimens collected, 16 samples were positive for CVA24 virus as determined by fluorescence quantitative PCR, with a positive rate of 72.73%, while all samples tested negative for EV70. VP1 primers were used to amplify 16 positive specimens, successfully sequencing the complete VP1 sequence from 14 samples. They were determined to be of the CVA24v GⅣ genotype. The genetic evolutionary analysis showed that the 14 CVA24v nucleotide sequences had 100.00% homology with each other, 85.14% homology with the prototype strain EH24/70 of CVA24v, and 77.27% homology with the prototype strain Joseph of CVA24. The phylogenetic tree showed that these isolates and the CVA24v strains circulating in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province at the same time were on the same evolutionary clade, suggesting a close phylogenetic relationship. Compared with the amino acid sequence of the reference sequence before 2023, the amino acid sequence of the VP1 region of this epidemic strain formed a new mutation at the 16th site, with a substitution from leucine (L) to isoleucine (I). Conclusions The pathogen causing this outbreak of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis was the Coxsackievirus A24 variant, presenting a new variant site appears in its amino acid sequence. According to the results of the phylogenetic tree, the strain is presumed to originate from a strain circulating in Guangdong Province during the same period.

[Summary] A selection of 528 unrelated subjects were enrolled(198 males, 330 females) with the mean age of(52. 23 ± 13. 41) years old. According to body mass index, 253 persons belonged to the normal weight group and 275 persons overweight/ obesity group. A total of 10 SNPs in CIDEB and CIDEC genes were detected. SHEsis online were used to get the haplotypes of these two genes. The relationship between above SNPs and obesity were analyzed under additive inheritance pattern. The main effects and interaction on obesity induced by two genes’ haplotypes were analyzed by logistic regression. rs2144493 in CIDEB gene was associated with obesity, C was a protective alleles, OR (95% CI) equals 0. 722(0. 525-0. 992). CCTT haplotype of CIDEB gene carriers and GCG haplotype of CIDEC gene carriers were more prone to obesity or overweight, there was an interaction between the haplotypes of 2 genes. CIDEB, CIDEC haplotypes may play independent and interactive roles in causing obesity.
