Objective To evaluate the effect of decompression suction drainage treated mandibular cystic lesions,and compared with the othertreatments such as surgery,decompression,and suction drainage.In order to explore its value in the field of mandible conservative treatment.Methods 36 cases of mandibular cystic lesions were performed decompression and suction drainage.Compared the cystic size before and after the treatment to evaluate the clinical effect.Results According the pathology,29 cases are cyst and 7 cases are mural-ameloblastoma.28 cases which X-ray show a remarkable lessen,6 cases have no change and 2 cases deteriorated.Conclusion decompression suction drainage is one of the ideal treatment for mandibular cystic lesions.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of infective endocardits(IE)by exploring the causes,pathogenic microorganism,clinical characteristics and therapeutic results of patients with IE.Methods From January 2006 to January 2016,89 cases with IE in Ganzhou People's Hospital were collected,and the clinical charac-teristics were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among the IE patients,40.5%had congenital heart diseases,33.7%had rheumatic heart diseases,18.0% were post－PCI or operative endocarditis,and patients without basic cardiac diseases accounted for 7.9%.The most common clinical manifestations were fever (86.5%),followed by anemia (85.4%).The blood culture positive rate was 63.4%.Streptococci viridians were the most common causative organ-isms(44.2%),followed by coagulase －negative staphylococci(21.2%).Eighty－six patients received echocardio-graphy examination,vegetation was observed in 61cases (68.5%).The hospital mortality rate was 10.1%,mostly due to refractory congestive heart failure and sepsis.Conclusion Congenital heart disease showed an upward trend, rheumatic heart disease decreased significantly.Intermittent fever,anemia are the main clinical manifestations.Blood culture positive rate is not high,Streptococcus viridians is the most common causative organism.Echocardiography is the main basis for the diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum citrulline levels in evaluating the remnant bowel absorptive function with enterostomy in the neonatal period by means of tandem mass spectrum so as to guide clinical treatment with parenteral nutrition(PN) or not.Methods The serum amino acid profiles of 30 enterostomy infants including small intestinal enterostomy 17 cases of enterostomy and 13 cases of colon enterostomy and 20 cases of control infants in Wuhan Children's Hospital,Tongji Medical College University of Science & Technology from January 2016 to June 2018 were performed by using tandem mass spectrum,and the related amino acid with the bowel absorbing ability-citrulline was screened out.The Pearson correlation of the serum citrulline levels with the gain weight of the infants was studied.Results The weight of small intestinal enterostomy was significantly lower than colon enterostomy and control infants [(3.22 ± 1.00) kg vs.(5.63 ± 0.66) kg and (6.09 ± 0.85) kg],and there was statistical significance (F =57.23,P ＜ 0.05).Serum citrulline levels were significantly lower in small intestinal enterostomy compared with colon enterostomy and controls [(10.65 ± 5.82) μmol/L vs.(16.57 ± 4.33) μmol/L and (16.52 ± 4.20) μmol/L],and there was statistical significance (F =8.29,P ＜ 0.05).In enterostomy infants serum citrulline was positively correlated with gain weight everyday(r =0.65,P ＜ 0.05).Serum citrulline level ＜ 12 μmol/L had 81.3％ sensitivity and 71.4％ specificity for underweight.Conclusions Serum citrulline is a simple and accurate biomarker for evaluation of the absorptive function and adaptation of the enterostomy infants.Serum citrulline level ＜ 12 μmol/L is a strong predictor of PN-dependence in infants with temporary enterostomy.

Objective To evaluate the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for genetic evaluation of fetal ultrasound abnormality. Methods A total of 180 pregnant women with fetal abnormality detected by prenatal ultrasound diagnosis in the first trimester during the period from January 2020 through May 2022 were enrolled as the study subjects. All prenatal fetal screening samples were subjected to G-band karyotyping and CMA. Results G-band karyotyping detected normal karyotypes in 168 samples (93.85%) and abnormal karyotypes in 11 samples (6.15%), and CMA detected 17 positive samples (9.44%) and 163 negative samples (90.56%). The seventeen positive samples included 11 pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) and 6 variants of unknown significance (VOUS), and there were 11 CMA-positive results consistent with G-band karyotyping, and 6 additional pathogenic CNVs mainly included microdeletion and microduplication syndromes. The detection rates of pathogenic CNVs were 11.11%, 2.63%, 2.78%, 4.00%, 0, 0, 11.11% and 0 among the fetuses with abnormal structure of the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system, the nervous system, the digestive system, the cranial and face system, the skeletal system, the urinary system, and other system (χ² =8.188, P = 0.316). All eleven fetuses with pathogenic CNVs detected by CMA were all induced for abortion. Conclusion CMA improves the detection of genetic abnormality among fetuses with ultrasound abnormality in relative to G-band karyotyping, which is feasible for prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis among fetuses with ultrasound abnormality

Objective: To evaluate the association between NLRP2(NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 2) gene polymorphisms and classical type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM) in Chinese Han population. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in 510 classical T1DM patients from the Department of Metabolism and Endocrinology in the Second Xiangya Hospital affiliated to Central South University and 531 healthy controls in this region. The polymorphisms of rs1043673 in NLRP2 gene were analyzed by MassARRAY. Mann-Whitney U test and χ² test were used to compare the differences between patients and controls. Logistic regression analysis and χ² test were performed to compare the distributions of the alleles and genotypes between T1DM patients and controls. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the clinical characteristics of different genotypes in T1D patients. Results: The differences of the allele and genotype distributions in rs1043673 of NLRP2 gene were not significant between patients and controls. The polymorphisms of rs1043673 were associated with fasting C-peptide(P=0.029), postprandial 2-h C-peptide(P=0.017), and titer of GADA(P=0.043) in T1DM patients. Conclusion The polymorphisms of NLRP2 gene were associated with the characteristics of T1DM patients.
