Objective To discuss the influence of preoperative family purge care for the quality of life of patients with long type of congenital Hirschsprung′s disease (HD) who had enterocolitis history in neonatal period. Preoperative family purge care, which can shorten the HD postoperative treatment, improve the quality of life. Methods A total of 40 cases of patients with long type of congenital HD who had enterocolitis history in neonatal period received 1-stage radical preoperative by family phone call. Nineteen cases from January 2010 to February 2013 were as normal group and 21 cases from March 2013 to April 2016 were as improved group. Routine family purge nursing care 3-6 months were used in both the groups, while the combined nursing care of expanding anus were used in the improved group in addition. Evaluated the effects of postoperative observation indicates: the first defecation time, length of hospital stay, time needed for expanding anus, patency rate of defecation and not patency rate in 9-12 days, need enema intervention to assist defecate rate after postoperative 1 year, the recurrence of enterocolitis at 1-3 years after operation. Results The first defecation time, length of hospital stay, time needed for expanding anus were (39.15±8.23) h, (7.89±0.82)d, (5.17±0.98) min in normal group, (23.79± 7.54) h, (7.10± 0.29) d, (3.15±0.73) min in improved group, and there were significant differences between two groups (t=6.13, 5.46, 15.54, all P<0.01). The patency rate of defecation and not patency rate in 9-12 days were 12/19, 7/19 in normal group, 100.00%(21/21), 0 in improved group, and there were significant differences between two groups (χ2=9.38, P<0.01). The intervention rate of no need for enema, occasionally enema, often enema were 2/19, 12/19, 5/19 in normal group, 76.19%(16/21), 23.81%(5/21), 0 in improved group, and there were significant differences between two groups (χ2=18.25, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the recurrence of enterocolitis at 1, 2, 3 years after operation between two groups (χ2=2.33, P>0.05). Conclusions Patient with long type of congenital HD who had enterocolitis history in neonatal period neonatal period,received family enema and expanding anus in 3- 6 months before 1-stage radical preoperative can shorten the postoperative HD treatment, improve the quality of life.

Objective To summarize the geographical distribution,phenotype and genotype data of 206 thalassemia families underwent prenatal diagnosis to provide information for clinical genetic counseling and avoid the birth of severe thalassemia children.MethodsTotally,206 thalassemia families were collected from Southern Medical University Nanfang Hospital from January 2008 to December 2009.Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood,villus,amniotic fluid or cord blood from the couples or the fetuses.Gap-polymerase chain reaction (gap-PCR) and reverse dot blot (RDB) technology were used to detect the common α and β-thalassemia mutations.DNA sequencing was used to detect the rare mutations.Follow-up visit were done half a year after the fetuses were born. Results The 206 thalassemia families came from 12 provinces and areas across China,including Heilongjiang province.Mutations detected in α-thalassemia families included --SEA/,-α3.7/,-α4.2/,αCS α/ and αQS α/,which were all included in the testing kit. While there were 4 kinds of β-thalassemia mutations,Gγ+ (A γδβ)0,-28(A→C),CD54-58(-TATGGGCAACCCT) and CD37(G→A),could not be identified with routine testing kit. The 57 α-thalassemia families consisted of 11(19.3%) severe thalassemia,induding 8 Bart's hydrops syndrome and 3 Hb H disease,26(45.6%) heterozygote and 20(35.1%) normal infants,and the 149 β-thalassemia majors families consisted of 28 (18.8%) severe thalassemia,82(55.0%) heterozygote and 39 (26.2%) normal infants.Among the β-thalassemia heterozygotes,there was one 13-trisomy.Follow-up visit found that babies with Bart ' s hydrops syndrome (n =8),Hb H disease (n =3),β-thalassemia majors (n =28) and β thalassemia heterozygote combined with 13-trisomy(n=1) were aborted.Conclusions Thalassemia was found in some north area other than south of China,which should be paid more attention by clinicians.Gap-PCR and PCR-RDB technology are effective measures for thalassemia prenatal diagnosis in identifying major thalassemia fetuses before their birth,thus reduce the birth rate of thalassemia baby.But missed diagnosis might exist during the screening,so it is necessary to perform DNA sequencing on those patients with positive symptoms and negative common genetic diagnostic results.At the same time,prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal disorders should not be neglected for high-risk families.

Objective To explore the expressions of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 2 and 4 in mouse skin during early immune responses against Sporothrix.Methods A total of 60 BALB/c mice were randomly and equally divided into an experimental group and a control group to be intracutaneously injected with Sporothrix conidium suspensions at a concentration of 1 × 106 cfu/ml and sodium chloride physiological solution respectively.Five mice were sacrificed before the injection,and at 6,12,24,48,and 96 hours after the injection in each group,blood samples were obtained from the mice before sacrifice,and skin tissue specimens were resected from the area around the injection sites after sacrifice.Realtime fluorescence-based quantitative PCR was performed to quantify the mRNA expressions of TLR2 and TLR4,and immunohistochemical staining to observe the protein expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 in mouse skin specimens.Enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to determine the levels of interleukin 12 (IL-12) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) in serum samples from the mice.Results After injection of Sporothrix conidium suspensions,the mRNA expression level of TLR2 gradually increased and peaked at 24 hours,which was 18.8 times that in the control group at 6 hours and 34 times at 24 hours.In addition,the mRNA expression level of TLR4 in the experiment group reached a peak,and was 56.7 times that in the control group at 6 hours after injection,then gradually decreased and reached the nadir at 96 hours.As immunohistochemical staining revealed,TLR2 and TLR4 were apparently expressed in both keratinocytes and macrophages in skin specimens from the experimental group,but not obviously in those from the control group.No significant differences were observed between the experimental group and control group in serum levels of IL-12 or TNF-α at any of the sampling time points.Conclusion TLR2 and TLR4 may play a favoring role in immunological defense by participating in the recognition of Sporothrix by keratinocytes and macrophages in mouse skin.
