Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) has been implicated as an important regulator of many cellular processes and signaling pathways,including chromatin remodeling,RNA splicing,DNA transcription,and cell proliferation.Therefore,structural and functional studies on PRMT5 are quite important.The full length ofPRMT5 gene was cloned into vector pGEX-4T-1,resulting in only low expression levels in Escherichia coli (E.colO.Here,it was showed that the several N-terminal amino acids deletions could result in a significant increase in the amount of soluble ft"action,while one of them did not affect the protein-arginine methyltransferase activity.And it was also found that the N-terminal 15 amino acids region of PRMT5 may be important for the catalytic activity.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of Budd-Chiari syndrome(BCS) on 64 slice spiral computed tomography(64SCT) and the diagnostic value of 64SCT for BCS.Methods Twenty-nine patients diagnosed as BCS by 64SCT were retrospectively included into this study and all the patients were researched by digital substraction angiography(DSA).Two abdominal radiologists analyzed the CT imaging features of BCS,paying attention to the vascular lesion,the morphology abnormality of the liver and the degree of portal hypertension,with review of DSA findings.Results ①The accuracy of 64SCT for BCS was 93.1%(27/29),and there were 2 false positive cases and no false negative case.The accuracy of 64SCT for those patients with thrombosis of inferior vena cava(IVC) and(or) hepatic vein(HV) was high as compared to those with stenosis of IVC and(or) HV.②The morphology abnormality of the liver included hepatomegaly(24 cases),low attenuation(27 cases) and inhomogeneous pattern of parenchymal contrast enhancement(5 patients in arterial phase and 19 patients in portal vein phase).③The images of all the patients showed the features of portal hypertension.Conclusion The accuracy of 64SCT for BCS is satisfactory and the false negative is seldom.The 64SCT could accurately display the morphology abnormality of the liver and the compensatory circulation in BCS patients.For those patients with stenosis of IVC and(or) HV,however,the diagnostic power of 64SCT is limited.

Objective To analyze the correlation of serum creatinine(Cr)/cystatin C(Cys C)ratio and monocyte/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C)ratio with hypertension complicated with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods A total of 200 hypertension patients with concomi-tant CHD admitted in our hospital from August 2021 to August 2023 were recruited and served as the observation group,and another 100 patients with hypertension during the same period served as the control group.Based on the number of vascular lesions,the patients in the observation group were divided into single-,double-and multi-vessel disease subgroups(104,75 and 21 cases).According to their Gensini score(＜30,30-90,＞90),they were also assigned into mild,moderate and severe stenosis subgroup(98,78 and 24 cases).After the fasting venous blood sam-ples were harvested from all subjects,the serum levels of Cys C,Cr and HDL-C were measured,and monocyte count was calculated,and Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation of serum Cr/Cys C ratio and monocyte/HDL-C ratio with number and severity of cor-onary artery lesions.Results The observation group had significantly higher Cr and Cys C levels,monocyte count and monocyte/HDL-C ratio,while lower Cr/Cys C ratio and HDL-C level than the control group(P＜0.01).The conditions of above indicators were more severe in the multi-vessel lesion subgroup than the single-and double-vessel lesion subgroups(P＜0.05).Similar re-sults were observed in the severe stenosis subgroup when compared with the mild and moderate stenosis subgroups(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the Cr/Cys C ratio was negatively correlated with the number of coronary artery lesions and the severity of coronary ar-tery stenosis(r=-0.743,P＜0.05;r=-0.673,P＜0.05),and the monocyte/HDL-C ratio was positively correlated with the number of coronary artery lesions and the degree of coronary artery stenosis(r=0.692,P＜0.05;r=0.611,P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum Cr/Cys C ratio and monocyte/HDL-C ratio are closely associated with hypertension combined with concomitant CHD.And the Cr/Cys C ratio is negatively correlated with the severity of the disease,and the monocyte/HDL-C ratio is positively correlated with the severity of the disease in the patients.

Mesh-related visceral complications caused by mesh erosion after tension-free inguinal hernia repair are one kind of rare long-term complications, but they are easily neglected. Interval time from initial hernia repair to mesh-related visceral complications by preperitoneal and laparoscopic repair is short. Rutkow and transabdominal preperitoneal repair have the highest reported rate. Lichtenstein has the longest interval time and the lowest reported rate. The most frequently eroded organs are sigmoid colon, bladder and small intestine. The common clinical manifestations of sigmoid colon erosion are hematochezia, abdominal wall fistula and colitis, hematuria and recurrent urinary tract infection in bladder erosion cases, intestinal obstruction and abdominal wall fistula in intestinal erosion case, sigmoid-bladder fistula and intestinal-bladder fistula in multiple organ erosion cases. Resection or repair of corresponding organs with mesh removal have good efficacies in most patients. The authors summarize and analyze researches on mesh-related visceral complications after tension-free inguinal hernia repair from 1994 to 2021, review their advances, in order to raise awareness of such complications in clinicians.

Objective: To explore the related factors of myopia among children and adolescents in Yunnan Province, and to predict and evaluate the influencing factors, so as to provide a scientific theoretical basis for the prevention and control of myopia. Methods: From March 9 to 14, 2023, 848 students from 6 primary and secondary schools in Dali and Lijiang of Yunnan Province were selected by multi stage stratified random cluster sampling method for visual acuity detection and questionnaire survey on myopia related factors. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to establish a Nomogram prediction model for the selected influencing factors. Results: The overall myopia rate of the respondents was 68.3%, the myopia rate of boys (63.4%) was lower than that of girls (72.9%), and the myopia rate of primary school students (46.7%) was lower than that of junior high school students (81.1%), and the difference was statistically significant（ χ 2=8.71, 108.07, P <0.05). Daily eye exercises, activities outside the teaching building during recess, having daily sleep time of 7-9 and >9 h, having both parents without myopia were negatively correlated with the occurrence of myopia in children and adolescents in Yunnan Province ( OR=0.64, 0.63, 0.56, 0.28, 0.48, P < 0.05 ). The reading and writing time after school ≥3 h per day and parents unrestricted time to play video games were positively correlated with myopia ( OR=1.94, 1.78, P <0.05). Based on the influencing factors, a Nomogram prediction model was established to quantitatively evaluate the risk of myopia. The results showed that greater risk for myopia was associated with sleep duration, parental history of myopia, and the time spent reading and writing after school every day. Conclusion Both genetic factors and environmental factors are related to myopia in children and adolescents. The prediction model of nomogram is beneficial for screening high risk factors of myopia and taking corresponding prevention and treatment measures.

Objective To assess ocular biometric parameters among primary and secondary school students from Naxi,Bai and Han ethnic groups in Yunnan Province.Methods The school-based study was conducted in October 2020.A total of 724 second-,third-and seventh-graders were selected from Dali and Lijiang,where Bai and Naxi ethnic groups inhabit,using a stratified cluster sampling method to receive questionnaire surveys and eye examinations.Non-cycloplegic spherical equivalent(SE),axial length(AL),anterior chamber depth(ACD),corneal radius of curvature(CR),central corneal thickness(CCT),white-to-white(WTW)distance,and the AL/CR ratio were measured.Covariance analysis was used to examine the differences in SE and ocular biometric parameters in terms of ethnicity,sex and grade,while Pearson correlation was used to test the associations among the said indicators.Results There were no significant differences in daily outdoor time,screen time and sleep time among the three ethnic groups regardless of grades(all P＞0.05).The mean CCT of Naxi students was lower than that of Han and Bai students[grade 2 and grade 3:(542.48±39.76)μm vs.(553.81±31.83)μm and(559.27±32.79)μm;grade7:(538.86±34.91)μm vs.(547.41±33.55)μm and(548.26± 32.98)μm,all P＜0.05],while no significant differences were found in the other ocular biometric parameters among the three ethnic groups(all P＞0.05).Among the seventh-graders,the SE,AL and AL/CR ratio of Naxi students were signifi-cantly different from those of Han and Bai students(all P＜0.05).The AL,CR,ACD,CCT,WTW distance,and mean SE were lower in girls than in boys(all P＜0.05).Compared with grade 2 and grade 3,students of grade 7 had longer AL,deeper ACD and thinner CCT(all P＜0.05),while no significant differences were found in CR and WTW distance(all P＞0.05).Correlation analysis showed that the AL/CR ratio was highly correlated with SE(r=-0.78,P＜0.05).Conclu-sion Multiethnic primary and secondary school students may face similar environmental risks.Yet,disparities in ocular biometric parameters caused by ethnicity,sex and age should be noted.
