Objective To discuss the influence of hydrotherapy on jaundice of newborn. Methods We divided 400 newborn into the hydrotherapy group and the control group with 200 cases in each group randomly. The newborn in the hydrotherapy group received hydrotherapy from 24 hours to 30 days after born,one time per day and 15 minutes per time.The control group was given pure shower, the time of first defecation ,the time of meconinm turning yellow, jaundice index and incidence of hyperbilirubinemia were compared at the 1st,5th,10th and 30th days after born. Results The time of first defecation and the time of meconium turning yellow were advancer in the observation group than those in the control group(P<0.01 ).The jaundice index at the 5th,10th andf 30th days after born and the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia also decreased in the observation group compared with those of the control group (P<0.01 ). Conclusion Hydrotherapy could decrease the jaundice of newborn and prevent the incidence of kernicterus.

The expression and function of NIS are the prerequisites of radioactive iodine ( RAI ) treatment for DTC, which in turn determine the iodine uptake and outcome in DTC patients. Studies for the factors that might influence the function of NIS for the development of redifferentiation therapy should be conducted in conjunction with the individualized course of treatment in DTC patients having poor iodine up?take in their thyroid tumors. This review summarizes the factors that influence the function and expression of NIS in these patients.

Approxmately 97% of all transcriptional output of the human being is noncoding RNA(ncRNA),which has been found to play roles in a great variety of processes,and is becoming more andmore attractive.This review is a general intruduction to the concept,classification and functions ofncRNA.

Objective To study the clinical and genetic features of Huntington's disease (HD). Methods The data of clinical information and heredity in 28 patients with HD from 6 Chinese families were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 28 patients in 6 pedigrees, including 15 males and 13 females. The onset age of all patients was 26～72 years old and the course of disease was variable from 6 years to more than 20 years, and there were 6 gene carriers, including 2 males and 4 females. These patients mainly appeared progressively chorea movement, with mental abnormalities (3 cases), dementia (1 case),ataxia (3 cases), dysarthria and dysphay in late stag (10 cases). Brain MRS of one gene carrier demonstrated significant Lac inversion hump in bilateral lenticular nucleus. Six pedigrees showed autosomal dominant inheritance. HD patients and gene carriers had an abnormal expansion of CAG (n≥37). Moreover, in 4 pedigrees, the onset age was earlier in the subsequent generations. Conclusions HD is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder with genetic anticipation and diversified clinical presentations. The (CAG)n expansion at the IT15 gene is the disease-causing mutation in the six pedigrees.

Objective HCV NS3 protein plays an important role in disease caused by HCV. We investigate the gene expression of HCV NS3 in yeast for future study of the function of the protein. Methods PCR was performed to amplify the gene of HCV NS3 from the plasmid pBRTM/HCV containing the whole fragment of HCV and the gene was cloned into pGEM T vector. Thereafter, HCV NS3 gene was cut from pGEM T vector and cloned into yeast expression plasmid pGBKT7, and recombinant pGBKT7∶NS3 was transformed into yeast AH109. The yeast protein was isolated and analyzed with sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE) and Western blotting. Results HCV NS3 gene was successfully cloned into pGBKT7. The results of SDS PAGE and Western blotting assay showed that the molecular weight of the expressed product was about 22000 Da and HCV NS3 protein was existed within yeast cells.Conclusions HCV NS3 was successfully expressed in yeast expression system.

Objective To explore the prognostic factors of nosocomial infection in severe hepatitis and liver cirrhosis,and to assess its prevention and treatment.Methods A prospective study of nosocomial infection of severe hepatitis and liver cirrhosis was carried out in our hospital from Apr.1996 to Dec.2000.The prognostic factors of nosocomial infection in severe liver diseases was analyzed by logistic regression.Results The mortality of nosocomial infection in severe liver was 37 36%(34/91).Multiple regression analysis showed that prognosis was in order variables related to follow factors:Serum bilirubin,prothrombin time,complement C3,serum cholesterol,serum sodium,white blood cells count,polymorphonuclear cell rate,the kinds of nosocomial infection,severe complications and improper medical manipulations.The prognostic factors high correlated with nosocomial infection via analysis by logistic analysis were as follows:low serum complement C3 and low cholesterol.Conclusions The nosocomial infection were important factors that cause highly mortality in severe liver diseases.The prognositic factors high related with nosocomial infection of severe liver diseases were:low serum complement C3 and cholesterol level.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screw fixation and posterior paraspinal muscle space approach pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 29 patients treated via minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screw fixation(minimally invasive group) and 28 patients treated via posterior paraspinal muscle space approach pedicle screw fixation(paraspinal muscle approach group) from March 2013 to October 2015.The anterior vertebral height ratio,sagittal Cobb angle,surgical incision,operation time,number of fluoroscopy,intraoperative blood loss and ODI and VAS scores were compared between the two groups.Results All patients were followed up for an average period of 12.6 months (ranged from 6 to 18 months).At the end of 3 days,3 months and 12 months after operation,vertebral sagittal index and Cobb angle of the two groups were significantly recovered compared with the preoperative data(P<0.05),and the ODI and VAS scores were significantly lower than those before the operation,but the above indicators had no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The surgical trauma and intraoperative blood loss of patients in the minimally invasive group were significantly lower than those of the paraspinal muscle approach group,while the operation time and fluoroscopy times were significantly higher than those of the paraspinal muscle approach group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Minimally invasive percutaneous and paraspinal muscle approach pedicle screw fixation are both effective,safe and reliable.Paraspinal muscle approach pedicle screw fixation has shorter operation time and easier operation,while minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screw fixation has less trauma,less bleeding and faster postoperative recovery.

Objective To study the positive incidence and clinical significance of auto-antibody of liver antigens in the serum of patients with autoimmune hepatitis diseases and viral hepatitis.Methods The serum samples with hepatic diseases were col-lected in Jiangyin People’s Hospital from 2010 to 2014 year.Patients were divided into three groups according to diseases:autoimmune hepatic disease group including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH)12 cases and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)36 case;viral hepatic group including HAV 23 cases,HBV 30 cases,HCV 14 cases and HEV 8 cases;normal control group 30 cases.Auto-antibody of live antigens AMA-M2,LKM-1,LC-1,SLA/LP,GP210 and SP100 were tested respectively by west-ern blotting assay.Results The positive rates of anti-AMA-M2,anti-LKM-1,anti-LC-1,anti-SLA/LP,anti-GP210,anti-SP100 were 16.7%,16.7%,8.3%,25%,0% and 16% respectively in AIH group,83.3%,0%,0%,0%,44.4% and 27.8% respectively in PBC group.Patients with viral hepatitis,one case were anti-AMA-M2 positive,one case were anti-GP210 positive and three case with positive anti-SP100.anti-AMA-M2,anti-GP210 and anti-SP100 were detected more fre-quently in autoimmune liver diseases group than viral hepatitis group (χ2 = 33.9,10.6 and 8.8,P < 0.05),anti-SLA/LP were detected more frequently in AIH group than PBC group (χ2 = 6.4,P <0.05),while anti-AMA-M2,anti-GP210 and were detected more frequently in PBC group than AIH group (χ2 =15.1 and 6.1,P <0.05).The positive rate of viral hepat-ic group was a very low frequency,there are little statistically significant difference (χ2 =1.1,P >0.05)compared with nor-mal control group.Conclusion The antibody of liver antigens are useful clinically for diagnosing and classifying autoimmune liver disease.
