Objective K93T point mutation exists in the quinoid dihydropteridine reductase ( QDPR) of OLEFT rats which catalyzes QDPR into tetrahydrobinopterin(BH4), while dihydrofolate reductase(DHFR) can reduce QDPR to BH4, which implies crosstalk between hydrobiopterin and folate metabolism.By investigating the influence of QDPR expression on DHFR expression of NRK-52E cells, the article aimed to find out the possible underlying mechanism of QDPR gene in diabetic nephropathy ( DN). Methods Western blot was performed to identify the expression level in NRK-52E cell under high glucose ambience and DHFR pro-tein expression of OLETF rats.NRK-52E cells were transfected by the lentivirus to establish no-load overexpression, overexpressed QDPR and knockdown QDPR models.Each group was given 5.4 mmol/L normal sugar medium and 30mmol/L in high glucose ambi-ence for 72 hours'cell cultivation to simulate DN model.Observation was made on the influence of QDPR gene expression levels on DHFR in high glucose ambience. Results The western blot analysis revealed that DHFR protein decreased in NHG group( [0.33 ± 0.16] vs [0.64 ±0.5], P<0.05) and OLETF rats cortex ([0.56 ±0.16] vs [1.03 ±0.12], P<0.01).In high glucose ambi-ence, compared with LV-OCON-HG group, the protein expression of DHFR was significantly decreased in LV-QDPR-HG group ([0.12 ±0.09] vs [0.63 ±0.08], P<0.01).No difference was found in the comparison of DHFR expression levels between LV-SHQDPR-HG and LV-SHCON-HG group. Conclusion DHFR protein expression decreases in NRK-52E cells of high glucose and LOLETF rat model, which suggests that DHFR protein plays an important role in the development of DN.QDPR overexpression leads to the decreased expression of DHFR, which implies that overexpressed QDPR influences the occurrence and process of DN by down-regulating DHFR expression level.

Objective:
To investigate the status of immunization of National Immunization Program (NIP) and its adverse reaction rate in children with tuberous sclerosis.
Method:
Questionnaire survey was adopted to identify the vaccination coverage and its adverse events; 72 cases of children with tuberous sclerosis and 78 normal controls (healthy children completing age-appropriate NIP) admitted to Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from December 2014 to November 2015 were involved into this study.
Result:
The age-appropriate NIP coverage rate of tuberous sclerosis was 36%(26/72). The coverage rate of bacillus calmette-guerin (BCG), hepatitis B vaccine 1st to 3rd doses (HepB1-3), oral poliovaccine 1st dose (OPV1), diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus 1st dose (DPT1), DPT1-3, meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine group A (MPVA), measles amd rubella vaccine/measles vaccine 1st dose (MRV/MCV1), and Japanese encephalitis vaccine 1st dose (JEV1) were 100%(72 cases), 75%(51 cases), 97%(66 cases), 91%(62 cases), 82%(56 cases), 66%(45 cases), 69%(42 cases), and 61%(37 cases) respectively. The reasons why the children did not complete the vaccination plan were that parents were concerned about vaccination-induced seizures or seizures had not been controlled. Among 72 children with TSC, the rate of adverse events or suspected adverse events after vaccination was 17% (12 cases), which was higher than the normal control children (2 cases, 3%) (χ2=8.799,

Family physicians contracted service is an important choice to deepen the reform of China′s healthcare reform and achieve the strategic goal of " health for all" . In order to effectively promote the contracted service, the central government has successively issued a number of policy documents, which are echoed by the localities in their proactive explorations, achieving remarkable results. But there are also multiple roadblocks hindering the contracted service to progress. This article referred to the three-circle theory and studied policy implementation from the three dimensions of policy value, policy resources, and policy impetus. A thorough analysis of the problems in the implementation process revealed such main problems as insufficient family physicians, inadequacy of supporting policies and low level of policy acceptance among the young healthy age groups. The follow-up work will promote the long-term implementation of the family physicians contracted service policy by enriching the family physicians team, enriching supporting policies, and focusing on promotions to key age groups.

Objective:To conduct simulated graduation skill assessment and annual skill assessment by self-designed objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for standardized training of radiation oncology residents.Methods:The structured examination, standardized questions and standardized tasks of each disease were designed by teaching team of radiation oncology in the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital. The implementation effect of the annual assessment and simulated completion assessment of standardized training for residents in radiation oncology from Class 2019 to 2021 was prospectively observed. The difference between scores by two independent examiners was analyzed by the paired t-test. The overall feedback of residents and examiners for the implementation were collected after the completion of OSCE. Results:A total of 18 residents participated in 67 sessions of 3-station skill assessments of different diseases, including 2 make-up tests. There was no difference in the score pairing and grade pairing tests between two examiners at 3 stations ( t=0.85, -0.68, -1.16; P=0.401, 0.499, 0.255). A total of 91.3% of the residents reported that the assessment well reflected their actual clinical competency. Conclusions:The current program of OSCE assessment for radiation oncology meets objectification, standardization and high efficiency, and achieves the goal of making trainers familiar with the graduation skill assessment and assessing comprehensive clinical competence. It is a reproducible and flexible structured assessment model.

Objective:The causes of infertility are complex and diverse, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is often overlooked in screening for infertility. In this study, CAH was diagnosed in women with high androgenemia who were infertile during childbearing age, and the diagnosis and treatment of CAH in pregnant women was investigated.Methods:This study included 20 women with high androgenemia and infertility in the childbearing age who were referred to the Endocrinology Department after visiting the Reproductive Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from December 2016 to April 2019. All patients were tested for blood hormone levels, glucose, and lipid metabolism, underwent ACTH stimulation test, uterus and bilateral ovarian B-ultrasound, adrenal computed cosmography (CT), etc. Full-length sequencing of the CYP21A2 gene was performed as necessary.Results:Among the 20 women with hyperandrogenism who were infertile, there were 7 cases of CAH (35.0%), including 6 cases of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) confirmed by gene sequencing; 10 cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS); 3 cases of idiopathic hyperandrogenemia (IHA). Sex hormone results showed that testosterone in CAH group was significantly higher than that in PCOS group and IHA group [(4.4±2.0 vs 2.9±0.4, 2.8±0.8) nmol/L, P<0.05]; ACTH stimulation test showed that the 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) in CAH group was significantly higher than that in PCOS group [(101.0±100.8 vs 1.4±0.8) ng/ml, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference between CAH group and IHA group [(101.0±100.8 vs 3.0±1.8)ng/ml, P>0.05]. However, the 17-OHP (60 min) in CAH group was significantly higher than that in PCOS group and IHA group [(200.1±80.8 vs 3.1±1.2, 3.4±0.2) ng/ml, P<0.05]. Glucocorticoid therapy was given to patients with CAH, and 4 patients had successful pregnancy. No clinical symptoms of CAH and external genital malformations were found in the offspring of patients who had been delivered. Conclusions:The ACTH stimulation test is of great significance in the differential diagnosis of CAH, especially 21-OHD. Genetic testing helps to identify the type of mutation in CAH patients. On the one hand, glucocorticoid therapy may improve the pregnancy rate of CAH patients, on the other hand, it can help to reduce the status of maternal high androgen and avoid masculine manifestation of female offspring.

Objective To systematic review the influence of case-based payment on inpatient costs since China′s new medical reform. Methods Studies about inpatient costs before and after the implementation of case-based payment were collected. The literature collected underwent a meta-analysis by RevMan 5. 0. Results A total of 11 articles in compliance were included in the study. The meta-analysis of random effect model showed the overall effect size (SMD) was -1. 54 with 95% CI being -1. 79, -1. 29, showing a significant difference (P<0. 05). The subgroup analysis showed that the overall effect size (MD) in the low-cost disease group was -585. 57 yuan with 95% CI being -750. 34, -420. 80, showing a significant difference (P < 0. 05). The overall effect size (MD) in the high-cost disease group was-4 172.65 yuan with 95% CI being -5 368. 21, -2 977. 10, showing a significant difference ( P <0.05). The funnel plot was approximately symmetrical, suggesting a publication bias as less likely in the study. Conclusions The implementation of case-based payment has reduced the inpatient costs to some extent thanks to China′s new healthcare reform. And the effect in the high-cost disease group was more obvious than that in the low-cost disease group.
