Objective To explore the prenatal genetic diagnosis for classic phenylketonuria (PKU) families.Methods Probands and their family members from three classic PKU families were analyzed by combining linkage analysis through short tandem repeats (STR) polymorphism and PCR-sequencing for the exons within mutation hot spot of phenylalanine hydroxylase gene.Results Linkage analysis found uninformative for Family 1,while 100 % confirmative information was obtained from Family 2 and 3.Sequencing showed compound heterozygous mutations of phenylalanine hydroxylase gene for all of the three probands.Five mutations were detected,namely Y166X,R243Q,R413P,EX6-96A ＞ G and IVS11-1G＞ C,and IVS11-1G ＞ C was a novel identified muntation.Information from linkage analysis and mutation screening showed clearly that the fetus of Family 1 and 2 were affected,while normal for Family 3.Conclusions For those PKU families,reliable service of prenatal genetic diagnosis could be provided by combining linkage analysis with mutation screening of phenylalanine hydroxylase gene.

Objective To investigate the optimal time to remove the urinary catheter in patients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy. MethodsPatients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy were assigned to group A (6 h), group B ( 12 h), group C ( normal control group) with 20 cases in each. Subject feeling, adverse reactions, postoperative bed time and days of absolute diet were compared. Results The incidence of bacteriuria in group A (35％) and B (30％) were significantly lower than that of group C (85％)(F=14. 80, P =0. 000). The incidence of hematouria in group A (25％) and B (10％) were also significantly lower than that of group C ( 80％ ) ( F =22. 98, P =0. 000). Conclusions 6 - 12 hours after laparoscopic adrenalectomy are the optimal time to remove the catheter. In this manner, it can reduce the incidence of bacteriuria and hematouria, promote the postoperative recovery, thus to reduce the cost of hospitalization and improve the nursing work efficiency.

BACKGROUNDTo investigate the expression of COX-2 and its relation to clinical pathophysiological features and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

METHODSThe expression of COX-2 protein was detected in 52 NSCLC tissues by immunohistochemical (S-P) method.

RESULTSThe positive COX-2 expression was observed in 25 (48.1%) cases of NSCLC tissues. The positive rate of COX-2 expression was 76.5% and 34.3% in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma respectively (P < 0.01). The positive rate of COX-2 expression in T3+T4 disease (92.3%) was remarkably higher than that in stage T1+T2 (33.3%) (P < 0.01). There was a remarkable difference in COX-2 expression rate between clinical stage I+II (28.1%) and clinical stage III+IV (80.0%) groups (P < 0.01). The positive rate of COX-2 expression was 83.3% in those with lymph node metastasis, but only 17.9% in those without lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01). In addition, there were significant differences in positive rate of COX-2 expression among patients with ≤2, > 2 but < 5, ≥5 years of survival span respectively (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSOverexpression of COX-2 in NSCLC, especially in adenocarcinoma, is closely related to invasion, lymph node metastasis and clinical stage of lung cancer. It may play a role in development of NSCLC, and also may be a prognostic marker.
