Abstract: Objective　To report the clinical characteristics and genetic test results of two children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and to provide reference for the comprehensive diagnosis-treatment and follow-up plans of NF1 patients based on the existing diagnosis and treatment progress of NF1. Methods　Two children with NF1 admitted to the Department of Children's Medicine, Haikou people's Hospital in May and June 2022 were selected to analyze the clinical data of their clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, genetic test results, diagnosis and treatment and follow-up retrospectively. Results　Two children had typical clinical manifestations, such as café-au-lait spots, axillary freckles, intraocular iris hamartoma. Venous blood was collected from case 1 and his parents for NF gene test, and a new mutation of c.4084C>T in the NF1 gene was found, and their parents did not have the pathogenic gene; the venous blood of the children in case 2 was tested for whole-exome gene analysis, and a heterozygous nonsense variant c.910C>T:p.R304 on the NF1 gene was found, , which was verified by Sanger sequencing to be inherited from his mother, his mother has café-au-lait spots and brain glioma, and has undergone surgery to remove the brain glioma, but has not undergone chemoradiotherapy or targeted therapy. No neurological malignancies were detected in either of the two children at follow-up until July 2022. Conclusions　The clinical manifestations of NF1 are relatively typical, genetic testing is conducive to determine its classification, and regular follow-up review can help to detect and treat malignant tumors early, thus improving the patient's quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) and intracranial and extracranial arterial stenosis in 146 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Methods Degree of intracranial and extracranial arterial stenosis in 146 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease was assessed by CT angiography (CTA). Then all patients were divided into 4 groups according to the numbers of branches with stenosis: no stenosis group, 1 branch group, 2 branches group, and 3 and more than 3 branches group. Dynamic blood pressure was monitored to calculate the AASI. Results There was no significant difference of AASI among the extracranial arterial stenosis groups (P=0.614). AASI was positively correlated with the degree of intracranial artery stenosis (r=0.743, P<0.05), and with 3 and more intracranial artery branches stenosis (r=0.797, P<0.05). Conclusion AASI is closely correlated with the degree and numbers of branches of intracranial artery stenosis.

Parkinson's disease(PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with no effective protective treatment,characterized by a massive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra(SNpc) and the subsequent loss of their projecting nerve fibers in the striatum.The major neurochemical manifestation of this disorder is the loss of the neurotransmitter dopamine(DA) in the striatum as a result of the progressive degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.There have been significant progresses in recent years reporting on the use of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)in gene therapy,with specific application towards PD.MSCs,a kind of multipotent adult progenitor cells,are considered as a useful vehicle for cell and gene therapy because of their multiple differentiation potentiality and self-transplantation.The present study was focused on treating rat model of PD using human tyrosine hydroxylase gene(hTH),human aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase gene(hAADC) and human GT Pcyclohydrolase I gene(hGCH-I) engineered MSCs,in order to provide a better understanding about the application of these cells in the therapeutic benifit of PD.The gene of hTH,hAADC and hGCH-I were introduced via recombinant adeno-associated virus(rAAV) infection into the MSCs in vitro.The genetically modified MSCs expressing hTH,hAADC and hGCH-I were transplanted into the striatum of PD rat models.The behavior,the nigra-striatal level of DA and its metabolite were detected.The results of present study were shown as follows:hTH,hAADC,hGCH-I and LacZ gene were transfected into MSCs with adeno-associated virus vectors.The HEK293 packaging cells(ATCC) were transfected with the plasmids of pAAV-hTH,pAAV-hAADC,pAAV-hGCH-I,pAAV-LacZ,pAAV-RC,pHelper by using calcium phosphate precipitation.Titer was detected using HT1080 cells.Viral particles were collected and used to infect MSCs.The purified modified MSCs expressing the three kinds of genes were selected separately and were grafted in the striatum of the PD model rats in the lesion side.The MSCs genetically modified suvived well 12 weeks after transplantation.The improvements of the behavior were observed every week after transplantation.Compared with the control group,the rounds of asymmetric rotation after apomorphine administration decreased in the groups double or triple genes engineered MSCs grafted(p

BACKGROUND: At present, bone remodeling biological model study usually applys finite element method combing with computer technique to simulate and predict bone quantity or bone structure. In this study the author integrate inversion method with animal experiment to establish a quantification bone remodeling biological model of in vivo bone tissue in real stress environment.OBJECTIVE: To set up a quantification biological model of bone growth and remodeling adaptation, which integrates animal experiments, parameter inversion identification of mathematical functions, and technique of computer simulation. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The experiment was accomplished in Animal Experiment Center of Dalian Medical University in October 2002.MATERIALS: 60 female Sprague Dawley mice of 6-week old were used in this study. Challenger double-energy X ray bone density device was provided from DMS Company, France. Sensation l6 CT machine was provided from Germany Siemens Company.METHODS: 60 mice were randomly divided into two groups: i 5 animals were in normal control groups. 45 in experiment groups. By designing a new animal experiment, we investigate the effects of stress environments on bone growth and remodeling of rapid growing rats and gather the bone mineral density (BMD) of proximal femur in the same interval for the unknown parameters (B and K) inversion of bone growth and remodeling equation to create the femur three-dimension geometrical model based on CT images. MAIN OUTCOMING MEASURES: Body weight of animal, bone density and CT imagine of proximal femur. RESULTS: Body mass in the experiment group and control group was increased with the rat growing; BMD in the control group and overloading group was also increased with the rat growing; but BMD in the unloading group was decreased in the fifth week. Inversion and experimental data showed that parameter B was rapidly decreased as compared to time, and it was closed to zero in the 10th week. Parameter K was rapidly increased as compared to time. and it was gradually increased from the 5th to the 10th weeks, moreover, it was closed to the horizontal line after 10 weeks. This predicted that rapid growth was over, and bone reconstitution and absorption came into another balance cycle. CONCLUSION: The thought and method used in the model creating in.this paper provide clue and reference to establish human model of bone growth and remodeling.

Objective To determine whether the supplementation of thyroid hormone(TH)improves β-adrenoceptors(β-AR)density and expression of peripheral blood lymphocyte in elderly patients with chronic heart failure(CHF). Methods A total of 42 elderly patients with advanced CHF(NYHA classⅢorⅣ)due to dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM)or ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM)were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group.Low-dose L-thyroxine(LT50)was added to the treatment group,both groups had routine anti-heart-failure treatment.Before and after 1 month of treatment,125I-Pindolol radioligand binding assay was used to measure β-AR in peripheral lymphocytes.Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was used to measure β1-AR expression in peripheral lymphocytes. Results The density and expression of β-AR of lymphocytes in patients with CHF due to ICM or DCM were lower than those in normal health people.and the serum TH level in patients with CHF was lower than that in normal health people.The L-T4 administration induced an up-regulation of β-AR density and expression in peripheral lymphocytes. Conclusions Thyroxine administration induces an up-regulation of β-AR density and expression in peripharal lymphocytes.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate (PKRP) and transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods Two groups of BPH patients (78 patients in each group) were treated by PKRP and TURP,respectively. The clinical efficacy and safety indices were reviewed and compared for both intra- and inter-groups. Results In PKRP group,the operative time,intraoperative bleeding, the rates of postoperative temporary urinary incontinence (within 2 months) ,secondary hemorrhage (within 4 weeks),and urethral stricture (within 3 months) were ( 64?21) min, ( 247?84) ml, 26. 9% ( 21/78 ) , 1. 3% ( 1/78 ) and 2.6% (2/78) ,respectively; while in TURP group, these parameters were (78?18) min, (432?132) ml, 48.7% (38/78) , 10. 3% (8/78) and 12. 8% ( 10/78 ), respectively; there were significant differences between the 2 groups (P 0. 05). Conclusions PKRP and TURP have similar efficacy in the treatment of BPH,but PKRP is safer than TURP. Thus,PKRP is a better treatment option for BPH.
