PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether radiation adaptive response could be induced by high dose I-131 therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Lymphocytes from 21 patients (7 males, 14 females, mean age 55+/-12 years) were collected before and after administration of 5,550 MBq (150 mCi) I-131. They were exposed to a challenge dose of 1 Gy gamma rays using a Cs-137 cell irradiator. The number of ring-form (R) and dicentric (D) chromosomes was counted under the light microscope, and used to calculate the frequency of chromosomal aberration. Ydr, which was defined as the sum of R and D divided by the total number of counted lymphocytes. RESULTS: Ydr in patients before I-131 therapy (0.09+/-0.01) was not different from that of controls (0.08+/-0.01). Ydr was significantly increased to 0.13+/-0.02 (p<0.0001) after I-131 therapy. Increase of Ydr after the challenge irradiation of 1 Gy was significantly lower in patients after I-131 therapy than before I-131 therapy (0.17+/-0.03 vs 0.21+/-0.02, p<0.0001). Cycloheximide (CHM), an inhibitor of protein synthesis, abolished this effect. Ydr after CHM (0.20+/-0.01) was significantly higher than Ydr after I-131 therapy (0.17+/-0.03, p<0.0001), but was not different from Ydr before I-131 therapy (0.21+/-0.02). CONCLUSION: High dose I-131 therapy induces an adaptive response in peripheral lymphocytes of patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer, which is associated with protein synthesis.

Background Congenital aniridia is a rare congenital autosomal dominant disease,which is shown as aniridia of double eyes,and the paired box gene 6 (Pax6) gene mutation is now known to be associated with congenital aniridia.Objective This study was to screen the Pax6 gene mutation in patients with congenital aniridia.Methods Eleven patients with congenital aniridia were enrolled in Tianjin Eye Hospital from August 2012 to October 2015,including 6 patients from 3 congenital aniridia family and 5 sporadic patients.All patients received routine ophthalmic examination.Peripheral venous blood of 3 ml was collected from the patients for DNA extraction according to the standard process of DNA isolation instructions,and all the exons of Pax6 gene,Elp4 gene,exon 5 ' and 3',intron splice sequence and SIMO sequence were amplified by PCR.Pax6 genes of the patients were sequenced using Sanger direct sequencing and multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and compared with those of 500 ocular trauma patients.This study complied with Helsinki declaration,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical examination.Results Iris absence was found in all the patients,and the visions acuity was hand motion to 0.2.Lens dislocation was seen in 1 patient.Direct sequencing results found that three patients in AN-O1 family were c.688g＞t (p.E230X) mutation of Pax6 gene,and 3 of 5 sporadic patients carried c.468g＞a (p.W156X),c.613c＞t (p.Q205X) and c.141 +2t＞c mutant of Pax6 gene,and the c.688g＞t (pE230X) mutation was a novel-discovered mutation.No any mutation in Pax6,Elp4 gene and SIMO fragment was detected in 1 patient from AN-02 family,2 patients from AN-03 family and 2 sporadic patients by both direct sequencing and MLPA validation.No above-mentioned mutation was found in 500 normal individuals.Conclusions The mutation of Pax6 gene is a pathogenic mutation in congenital aniridia patients,and c.688g＞t (p.E230X) is a novel Pax6 mutant,which expanded the mutation spectrum of Pax6 gene.

Background Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a hereditary disease of pigment absence in eyes,skin and hair due to the lack of congenital melanocyte.OCA is classified into 7 types based on different genetic mutations,and the mutation of tyrosinase (TYR) gene causes OCA type 1 (OCA1).OCA has obvious genetic heterogeneity and phenotypic heterogeneity.The molecular diagnosis of the mutant gene is helpful for the classification and molecular pathogenesis study of OCA.Objective This study was to screen the TYR mutation in OCA patients,and to analyze the association between the gene mutation type and clinical phenotype.Methods Ten patients with OCA were enrolled in Tianjin Ophthalmological Hospital from January 2011 to December 2014.The clinical and ocular manifestations of the patients were examined.Peripheral venous blood 3 ml was collected in the patients and their lineal relatives for the extraction of genomic DNA.Extracted DNA was amplified by PCR and the TYR gene sequence was analyzed,including all 5 exon coding sequence and exon 5 ' and 3' end and the non-coding region sequence of intron splicing in TYR gene.This study complied with Helsinki Declaration and the protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Tianjin Eye Hospital.Informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results All the patients showed white or reddish hair and snow-white skin,and different degrees of pigment lack was seen in iris.The best corrected visual acuity of the patients was 0.05-0.2,and 3 patients complicated with nystagmus.Fundus findings showed a sunset-like change and dysplasia of macula.The TYR gene sequencing revealed that patient 1 was OCA1A subtype,with the compound heterozygous mutant of c.832C＞T (p.R278X) and c.1217C＞T (p.P406L),and his/her parents occurred the heterozygous mutation of exons P406L and R278X.The phenotype of the patient 1 was white hair and white iris.The patient 3 was OCA1B subtype,with the compound heterozygous mutations of c.1265G＞A (p.R422Q) and c.1217C＞T (p.P406L),showing an appearance of reddish brown hair and sallow iris.TYR gene mutant was not detected in other 8 patients.Conclusions The mutation of TYR gene is the main cause of OCA1 type.The phenotype of OCA1A subtype is no pigment in eyes and hair,and one of OCA1B subtype was obviously lessening of pigment.The difference of mutant genes of OCA is the cause of genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity.

Objective: To describe the differences of plasma folate concentration and prevalence of folate deficiency in genders and ages in Chinese adults aged 35 to 64 years. Methods: By cross-sectional analysis, plasma folate concentration was measured in 2 545 adults including men and women by microbiological assay. Results: (1) Men tended to have lower plasma folate concentration and higher prevalence of folate deficiency(9.70 nmol/L, 31.0%) than did women(14.2 nmol/L, 12.5%, P=0.001). (2) Men in South have significantly higher plasma folate concentration and lower prevalence of folate deficiency than in North. The difference of plasma folate concentration was not evident between urban and rural area, but evident in North between in winter and spring. There were no significant differences of prevalence of folate deficiency for men between urban and rural areas in both regions. For women, the differences of plasma folate concentration in areas were significant, which were higher in South and urban, and lower in North and rural areas. (3) Plasma folate concentration increased with age in Southern men. A similar trend for others was not significant. Conclusion: Men have lower plasma folate concentration and higher prevalence of plasma folate deficiency than do women. The distribution of plasma folate concentrations in urban and rural areas seems different between men and women.

Background and purpose: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare complex reticulocndotheliai disease that often invades the head and neck. There in no consensus of treatment. Radiation is one of the treatment options for the localized lesions. Our aim in the study was to analyze the radiotherapeutic efficacy for LCH in the head and neck region. Methods: 8 patients with eosinophilic granuloma (EG) and 1 case with Hand-Schuller-Christian disease (HSC) were treated with radiotherapy in our hospital from July 2000 to May 2007. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results: 5 cases of EG were treated with tumor partial excision and radiation, while the other 3 cases of EG were given radiation alone after biopsy. The HSC was administered with radiation and endocrine therapy. All the patients were followed up for 1.5-8 years. The response rate was 89%. Conclusion: Radiotherapy of LCH is an effective modality, but the optimal dose needs to be further studied.

To investigate the clinical efficacy of distally based myocutaneous flap pedicled with nutrient vessel of cutaneous nerve of leg for the treatment of traumatic chronic osteomyelitis of lower leg. A total of 25 patients with traumatic chronic osteomyelitis of lower legs were from Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2002 to June 2008. All the patients were treated with distally based myocutaneous flap pedicled with nutrient vessel of cutaneous nerve of leg after thoroughly debridement. Among them, 6 patients were treated with myocutaneous flap with nutrient vessel of saphenous nerve, and 19 patients were treated with myocutaneous flap with nutrient vessel of sural nerve. The sizes of the flaps were 5 cm×3 cm-18 cm× 12 cm, with attached muscles were 3 cm×3 cm-8 cm×5 cm. The lengths of the pedicles were 5-12 cm. All transplanted myocutaneous flaps survived well. A 6-24 months follow-up of all patients was obtained. The shape and texture of the myocutaneous flaps were good. And there was no recurrence of osteomyelitis. Results suggested that the distally based myocutaneous flap pedicled with nutrient vessel of cutaneous nerve of leg had reliable blood supply and satisfied efficacy, which was a good method for repairing traumatic chronic osteomyelitis of lower leg.
