Objective To explore the clinical features of lissencephaly and the detection ofLISI gene.MethodsThe characteristic of clinical features, laboratory examination and gene detection in one case of lissencephaly was retrospectively analyzed. Meanwhile, the related literatures were reviewed.ResultsA 5-month-old female child diagnosed with epilepsy 20 days ago was hospitalized for convulsive seizure more than 30 times in 3 days. The manifestations were eyes staring, and turning upward, cyanosis of lips and face, froth at the mouth, extremities rigidity and loss of consciousness, and the symptoms can spontaneously remitted in 2-3 minutes. Laboratory examination showed that peripheral blood white cell count was 13.67×109/L, hemoglobin 108 g/L, red blood cell count 3.90×1012/L, lymphocyte 10.26×109/L; maocardial enzyme and hepatic and renal function were normal; blood ammonia was 23 μmol/L and lactic acid 2.11 mmol/L. Long-range video EEG showed highly arrhythmia, and frequent partial epilepsy, and sometimes secondary generalized epilepsy. Head MRI showed lissencephaly. The child was treated with oral administration of Keppra 27 mg/(kg·day), Topiramate 6.5 mg/(kg·day), currently no seizure. The detection ofLIS1 gene found that heterozygous mutation of c.232delG, which lead to protein shift mutation (p.E78NfsX25). No mutation was found in her parents.ConclusionsChild with lissencephaly may combine with epilepsy which may cause by mutation inLIS1 gene. And there was no information about point mutation of c.232delG inLIS1 gene being reported at home and abroad so far.

Objective To study the clinical and genetic features of Lowe syndrome. Methods The clinical data and test results of OCRL gene from two children with Lowe syndrome were analyzed. The related literatures were reviewed. Re-sults Two male patients all presented with low molecular proteinuria, hypercalciuria, rickets and nephrolithiasis. Patient 2 had renal tubular acidosis, glycosuria and cryptochism. Patient 1 was found to have abnormal vision and congenital cataract soon after birth and treated surgically. Patient 1 also had psychomotor retardation and the cranial magnetic resonance ima-ging (MRI) showed agenesis of the corpus callosum. Patient 2 did not have obviously extra-renal symptoms, but was found to have mild cataract by a meticulous ophthalmological examination. MRI showed cerebral hypoplasia and myelination delay and mental retardation was gradually appeared during follow-up. Two OCRL gene mutations were detected. A splice site mutation NG_008638.1:g.46846-46848delTAA/insC was found in patient 1 and a frame shift mutation NM_000276.3:c.321delC in exon 5 was found in patient 2. Both mutations were not reported previously. Conclusions The diagnosis of Lowe syndrome is mainly by clinical manifestations and test of OCRL gene. Lowe syndrome needs to be included in the differential diagnosis of a patient with congenital cataract and renal tubulopathy. Two novel mutations in the OCRL gene were identiifed.

Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are commonly used plasticizers and solvents. Human body is exposed and absorbed mainly through diet, skin and air inhalation. The biological samples such as urine, blood, saliva, semen and breast milk generally contain PAEs and their metabolites, but the concentrations of PAEs metabolites vary in different samples. In the general population, the levels of PAEs are higher in children than in adults, and higher in women than in men; the levels of PAEs are higher in the occupational population than in the general population. In this paper, the research of PAEs related human biomonitoring in the general population and occupational population at home and abroad is reviewed, so as to provide the basis for reducing the exposure of PAEs and related health risk.
