Objective To detect the expression of Survivin and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic carcinoma,and investigate their roles and mutual correlations in pathogenesis and progression of prostatic carcinoma.Methods The expression of Survivin and HIF-1α in proliferative lesions of prostate (15 cases) and prostatic carcinoma (62 cases) were detected by immunohistochemistry method.The relationship between the expressions of Survivin and HIF-1α was analyzed,as well as their correlations with clinicopathological features.Results The positive expression of Survivin and HIF-1α were significantly higher in the prostatic carcinoma [71.0 % (44/62) and 69.4 % (43/62),respectively] compared with those of the prostatic proliferation [6.7 % (1/15) and 0] (x2 =20.56,P 0.001; x2 =23.56,P =0.001,respectively).The expression of Survivin and HIF-1α in prostate carcinoma was significantly related with the histological grading,clinical staging (x2 =10.64,5.39,7.62,6.43,all P < 0.05).And there was positively correlated between Survivin and HIF-lα (rs =0.350,P =0.006).Conclusion Survivin and HIF-1α synergistically play important roles in pathogenesis and progression of prostatic carcinoma.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of opportunistic infection (OI) in patients with HIV/AIDS in Guangdong and the relationship between OI and the change in blood CD4+ T lymphocyte count (CD4+ ).Methods Seven hundred and sixty two patients with HIV/AIDS admitted were analyzed. Results Among all the 762 patients, 704 (92.39% ) had more than one kind of OI, with 1428 episodes totally.Etiologically, fungus infection (38.38% ) was most common, followed by bacteria (36.20% ), and virus (7.77% ) infection. Most OI occurred in the lungs (33.05% ), mouth (26.89% ), skin (10.29% ) and gastro-intestine (8.96% ).Septicemia and other systemic disseminated diseases accounted for 6.58% and 9.94% respectively.The incidence of OI in patients with CD4+= 200/μ1 (103/136, 75.74%) was significantly lower than that in patients with CD4+ <200/μ1 (601/626, 96.01%), P<0.01.All the AIDS defining OI were found in patients with CD4+ <200/μ1 Among them, 81.97% of patients with pneumonia carinii pneumonia (PCP), 71.43% of patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis and all the patients with cryptococcal meningitis, disseminated cryptococosis, disseminated histoplasmosis, mycobacterium avium intracellular complex (MAC), disseminated penicilliosis mameffei and toxoplasma cerebritis had the CD4+ less than 50/ μ1.Conclusions The most common OI in patients with AIDS in Guangdong area are fungi, bacterial and viral infections.Lung, mouth, skin, gastro-intestine and systemic disseminated infections are the most prevalent infections.As the CD4+ decreased, the incidence of OI especially AIDS defining OI increased. Dynamic detection of CD4+ will be of great help for the prediction, prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of OI in patients with AIDS.

ObjectiveThe clinical features, bacteria distribution and antibiotic resistance proifle of blood stream infection(BSI) were investigated in the patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis for better management of such infections.MethodsThe clinical data of BSI were collected in the patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis between January, 2012 and December, 2014, and reviewed retrospectively in terms of risk factors, diagnosis and treatment, pathogen distribution and prognosis.ResultsOf the 1 071 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and suspected bacterial infection, 154 (14.4%) were diagnosed as BSI evidenced by blood culture. Of these patients, the leukocyte count in the peripheral blood was higher than 10×109/L in only 48 (31.2%) patients; neutrophil proportion>0.75 in 133 patients (86.4%); serum procalcitonin level>0.5 ng/mL in 74 patients (68.5%). A total of 155 bacterial strains were isolated, including 115 strains of gram-negative bacilli and 40 strains of gram-positive cocci. Most patients (68.8%) recovered and 31.2% died or discharged from hospital voluntarily. All these BSI patients had Child-Pugh grade C liver function. Some patients also had other serious systemic diseases or repeated hospitalization.ConclusionThe prevalence of BSI is high in the decompensated liver cirrhosis patients with poor prognosis. Gram-negative bacilli are the major pathogens of such septicemia. Early diagnosis and proper use of antibiotics based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing are important to improve patient outcome.

A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of a child with Turnpenny-Fry syndrome who was treated in the Epilepsy Center of Kunming Children′s Hospital in January 2023 for developmental retardation and epileptic spasm.The child, a 1-year-and-4-month-old boy, had developmental retardation since birth and developed epileptic spasm at the age of 5 months.Physical examination and auxiliary examination showed distinct facial features, heart, bone and other developmental malformations.Electroencephalogram indicated hypsarrhythmia and epileptic spasm.The genetic test suggested the presence of c. 194C>T (p.Pro65Leu), a new heterozygous mutation in PCGF2 gene.The seizures were completely controlled with anti-seizure drugs.This child is the only case reported with infantile epileptic spasm as the main manifestation so far, expanding the understanding of the phenotype of the disease.

AIM: To analyze and compare the efficacy of binocular visual perception training and suspended vision trainer in postoperative rehabilitation of strabismus.METHODS: A total of 96 children who received surgical treatment from July 2022 to September 2023 were included in the study subjects, and they were group A(n=32), group B(n=32)and group C(n=32). After operation, binocular visual training, visual perception training and suspension vision trainer were used to compare the efficacy among groups.RESULTS: The changes of simultaneous visual function, fusion visual function, stereoscopic visual function, perceptual eye position(horizontal and vertical)and CIXTQ of the three groups of children were observed before training and at 3 mo after training, and the study found that the simultaneous visual function recovered differently at 3 mo after training, with the best recovery in the group B(all P<0.05); there were no significant differences in fusion visual function of the groups A and B(P>0.05), but there were statistical significance in fusion visual function among the three groups(all P<0.05); and there were no significant differences in recovery rate of stereoscopic visual function among the three groups(P>0.05). The improvement of perceptual eye position of the group B, either horizontally or vertically, was better than that of both the group A and group C(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Visual perception training has a higher value in the simultaneous visual function, fusion function, stereoscopic visual function, perceptual eye position and quality of life in children with strabismus.
