Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2006;0(24):-
Objective To explore the clinical significance of the footprints and lateral X-rays in weight loading in evaluating the rehabilitation of talipes valgus in the children with cerebral palsy.Methods One hundred footprints of 56 children who were cerebral palsy with talipes valgus in the hospital-community-family-based rehabilitation mode were divided into light,middle and heavy types,and they were counted with two footprint-based approaches,and the two approaches were compared with chi-square criterion,and the dependability on consequence of the footprint and lateral X-rays in weight loading were analyzed.Results One hundred feet evaluated by the method of footprint were flatfeet radically,and the occurrence of flatfoot evaluated by three define lines were 11,57,32,respectively,and evaluated by footprint ratio were 6,7,87,respectively,but the degrees were different with two footprint-based approaches.There was a close correlation between two footprint-based approaches and lateral X-rays in weight loading.Conclusions Flat foot caused by talipes valgus can be evaluated by footprint in static state,while the development of bones of foot and the constitution of instep can be monitored on the lateral X-rays in weight loading.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of cerebroprotein hydrolysate on diabetic peripheral neuropathy.Methods105 diabetic patients were randomly divided into the treatment group (34 cases, treated with intravenous injection of cerebroprotein hydrolysate), standard control group (38 cases, treated with intramuscular injection of Metrycobal combined with intravenous injection of Actovegin) and blank control group (33 cases, treated with oral vitamin B1, B6, B12). Curative effects of three groups were evaluated.ResultsIt was shown that intravenous injection of cerebropotein hydrolysate could improve patients' symptoms, raised speed of nerve conduction and its curative effect was as same as intramuscular injection of Metrycobal combined with intravenous injection of Actovegin.ConclusionIntravenous injection of cerebropotein hydrolysate has a curation effect on diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

BACKGROUND:Rapid development of spermatogonial stem cells is the new hope for assisting reproductive technologies,and the stability of the number and structure of the chromosome cultured in vitro is one of the important factors in usage.OBJECTIVE: To study the influential factors on G-band exhibition in mouse spermatogonial stem cells, so as to offer a technology to identify karyotype of stem cells in culture.DESIGN: Observational experiment.SETTING: Luzhou Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of Medical Molecular Biology, Luzhou Medical College from March 2004 to April 2005. 10 days old male and female Kunming mice were provided by Department of Animal of Luzhou Medical College (number of license No. 17 of experimental animal quality administration in Sichuan province).There were low-sugar DMEM medium, 10 mg/L Mitomycin-C, IMDM medium, 1 ×10-5 mol/L colchicines (PBS allocation),7.5 mmol/L KCL, fixative (mixture glacial acetic acid with methanol in 1:3), Giemsa staining solution and 0.25% zymine.METHODS: Bone marrow was aspirated from the thigh bone of mouse for feeder layer cells preparation. Cells from the male mice testis of 7-8 days after birth were prepared and made into cell suspension. After adjusting the cell density to 3×105 L-1, they were inoculated into the feeder layer of bone marrow stromal cells. Cells were cultured at 37 ℃ in CO2 incubator containing CO2 of 0.05 volume fraction and 70% humidity. The proliferation groups of stem cells cultured 15-20 days were selected, stirred and spread, and then treated with colchicine for 4-6 hours. Cell suspension was collected,and then stained after hypotonic treatment. The cells whose chromosomes were dispersed well and in metaphase were selected, and number of chromosomes was counted, and then the morphology of chromosomes was observed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Culture of bone marrow stromal cells and spermatogonial stem cells and coloration and count of chromosomes.RESULTS: The karyotype of spermatogonial stem cells was the same as the body cells of normal mouse, which showed granule or rod-shape. Karyotype was 20 pairs, 40 bars. Three kinds of chromosome morphology could be observed under oil immersion lens. The first type was condensed, which could be counted in total, but the band could not be seen.The second type was chromatosome that spread completely in the center of equatorial plate and were in metaphase. In this phase, total numbers and band were seen clearly. Last type-chromosomes had already folded and moved towards two poles and concentrated gradually, the total number of chromosomes could be counted, but bending could not be seen clearly.CONCLUSION:Many factors can affect the karyotype of spermatogonial stem cells, including the phase of cell division,effect of hypotonic solution, diffusion of the cell when dropping slides, concentration of trypsin and digestion time, etc.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the concepts and contents of the Chinese precision medicine,and to provide reference for the development of precision medicine in China.METHODS:By evidence-based evaluation method,using jingzhun yixue jingzhun yiliaoprecision medicineas keywords,all literatures were retrieved from CBM,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,PubMed and Ovid EMBase databases up to Nov.17th,2015.The relevant information were extracted,including researchers (first author or correspondence author's unit belonged to China),domains and concepts.The concepts and contents of the Chinese precision medicine based on China's national condition were summarized and analyzed,and the difference between precision medicine and personalized medicine was compared.RESULTS:54 studies were included,the results indicated most studies (51 literatures) were published in 2015 by hospitals (28 literatures) and high schools (14 literatures);most literatures (23 literatures) presented the concept of precision medicine,followed by disease precision medicine (19 literatures) and relevant technology of precision medicine (7 literatures);a total of 39 literatures presented the specific concept of precision medicine.Besides genetic information involved in American precision medicine,the Chinese one expanded the disease diagnosis and treatment technology,as well as the application.Personalized medicine and precision medicine were in common partially,however,the latter one underlined the disease classification and diagnosis,which was more practicable.CONCLUSIONS:Chinese precision medicine involves disease diagnosis and treatment technology as well as influential factors based on genetic information,and includes disease classification and diagnosis so as to perform personalized precision intervention.The Chinese precision medicine is overall developed and focused.

Background:MicroRNAs ( miRNAs ) is a class of small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at posttranscriptional level. They are considered to play a critical role in the tumorigenesis and development of various tumors. Aims:To identify the recurrence-specific miRNAs in peripheral blood of patients with recurrent colorectal adenoma by miRNA array for providing sensitive and specific molecular markers for recurrence prediction. Methods:Fifty colorectal adenoma patients who had undergone polypectomy by colonoscopy were re-examined from Aug. 2012 to Sep. 2013. Four recurrent and four non-recurrent patients were selected and miRNA array was used to detect the expression profiles of miRNAs in peripheral blood samples. Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified between recurrent and non-recurrent patients. Real-time PCR was applied to verify the differentially expressed miRNAs identified by microarray. Results:Seven up-regulatedmiRNAs(hp hsa-miR-548ai,hsa-miR-4446-3p,hsa-miR-139-3p,hsa-miR-27a-5p,hsa-miR-10a,hsa-miR-23a and hsa-miR-486-3p)and 4 down-regulated miRNAs( hsa-miR-124,hsa-miR-3613-5p,hsa-miR-495 and hsa-miR-485-5p)were identified by microarray between recurrent and non-recurrent patients. Among them,seven miRNAs were validated by real-time PCR as consistent with microarray. Conclusions:Some differentially expressed miRNAs may be involved in the recurrence of colorectal adenoma,which gives clues for further investigation on recurrence predictors.
