Objective To identify the correlativity between SCN4A V781I mutation and hypokalemic periodic paralysis(HOKPP).Methods The SCN4A V781I mutation was screened on the members of a hypokalemic periodic paralysis family(including 3 patients and 14 healthy relatives), 71 sporadical hypokalemic periodic paralysis patients and 100 healthy adults with the PCR sequencing and the incision enzyme techniques.Results The mutation existed not only in all the patients but also in 4 healthy relatives, including 1 male and 3 females, in the hypokalemic periodic paralysis family.Seven of 71 sporadieal hypokalemic periodic paralysis patients and 7 of 100 health adults indicated the SCN4A V781I mutation.There was no significant difference in the SCN4A V781I mutation rate between the hypokalemic periodic paralysis patients and the healthy adults(X~2=0.452, P=0.502).Conclusions SCN4A V781I mutation maybe is an innocent polymorphism.There is little correlativity between SCN4A V781I and hypokalemic periodic paralysis.

Objective To study the setup accuracy and other factors during frameless stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of intracraial tumor using ExacTrac X-ray image guide system.Methods Totally 119 intracranial tumor patients from August 2014 to February 2016 underwent auto setup with infrared marker.Bilateral oblique cross field images were obtained with ExacTrac X-ray system,and went through comparison,registration and correction with the digitally reconstructed ones of the planning system.Then the translation accuracy errors at LAT,LNG and VRT directions and corresponding rotational accuracy errors were acquired,and the errors experienced extended analysis.Results The translation errors at LAT,LNG and VRT directions acquired with ExacTrac X-ray image guidance system and 6DOF couch were (0.16±0.13) mm,(0.17±0.14) mm and (0.15±0.11) mm respectively,the corresponding rotational errors were (0.21±0.15),(0.18±0.15),(0.18±0.14)° respectively,and the vector error was (0.32±0.16) mm.All of 3 translation and 3 rotational errors were in the SRS error range.Conclusion ExacTrac X-ray image guidance system combined with 6 degrees-of-freedom couch increases the treatment accuracy during frameless SRS,and thus is worthy promoting practically.

Objective To analyze the results of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination(OSCE) of medical interns in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics,and to assess the role of OSCE in clinical teaching and practice. MethodsAtolal of 104 medical interns of five-year education program in 2002 and seven-year education program in 2003 in School of Medicine had taken part in OSCE of gynecology and obstetrics.The OSCE consisted of six stations: gynecologic examination,obstetric examination,oral test,interrogation of standardized-patients(SP),drawing partogram,and non-stress test(NST) explanation.After gathering the data of each station,the software of SPSS 11.0 was used to make statistical analysis. Results The median scores were as follows: 92.0 for gynecologic examination,91.0 for obstetric examination,83.5 for oral test,80.0 for interrogation of SP,80.0 for drawing partogram,and 70.0 for NST explanation.There was no significant impact of familiarity to OSCE on the results of the test.The results showed that medical interns did good job in basic performance,but lack of clinical practice skills in some complicated practice of gynecology and obstetrics.Conclusion The grading system and stations setup of OSCE in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital show objectivity and equity.The OSCE can be widely applied in the after-department examination and even graduation examination.

Objective To profile the phenotype and pathogens of cutaneous and mucous mycoses in a dermatology outpatient clinic in Nanchang region. Methods A review was performed to assess cutaneous and mucous mycoses diagnosed in the dermatology outpatient clinic of Dermatology Hospital of Jiangxi Province from 2006 to 2008. The relationship of clinical phenotype and pathogens to season, patients' age and gender was analyzed. Results A total of 7251 cases were collected, and the ratio of male to female patients was 2.3: 1. The most prevalent mycoses included tinea cruris (2702, 37.1%), pityriasis versicolor (1505, 20.8%) and tinea manus (727, 10.0%). In total, 4953 fungal strains were isolated from all the patients except for those with pityriasis versicolor, of them, Trichophyton rubrum accounted to 69.9%, Candida to 20.4%, and Trichophyton violaceum to 4.5%. Season, patients' age and gender were found to be associated with clinical phenotypes and pathogens of mycoses. Conclusions In the dermatology outpatient clinic of Nanchang region, tinea cruris is the most common superficial fungal disease, with the predominant pathogen being Trichophyton rubrum. Trichophyton violaceum is the primary pathogen of tinea capitis, which is different from other reports.

Aim To establish and optimize the VSVG/HIV-1NL4-3 Luc pseudovirus model for anti-HIV drugs screening. Methods The infectivity of VSVG/HIV-1 NL4-3 Luc in 4 different cell lines was investigated according to the method of the lucifer-ase activity analysis system of Promega company. 3 different ex-perimental settings were used to detect the activities of approved anti-HIV drugs to confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the system. Finally, some potential compounds were screened for their anti-HIV activities, and their antiviral activities against the pseudovirus were compared with HIV-1ⅢB . Results The pseud-ovirus showed the strongest replication ability in CRFK cells, and a clear dose-effect relationship was found between the report gene expression level and the virus quantity. Comparing the EC50 of different positive inhibitors against VSVG/HIV-1 NL4-3 Luc on 3 kinds of experimental conditions, 3rd scheme is the best. Finally, the system was used to screen compounds, the EC50 s a-gainst pseudovirus were similar to those in HIV-1ⅢB . Conclusion An optimized VSVG/HIV-1 NL4-3 Luc anti-HIV screening sys-tem has been successfully developed.

Basic life support ( BLS ) is a very important clinical skill for medical students. However,current BLS education is lack of proper BLS skills evaluation protocol to give educational feedback both to instructors and students. This article is aimed to discuss the necessity of protocol of skills evaluation in basic life support education for medical students prior to their internship.

Objective To study the safety and efficacy of transhepatic arterial infusion embolization using microspheres combined with lipiodol for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Transhepatic arterial chemoembolization(TACE)was performed with 1-2 ml 300-500?m mierospheres and 10-20 ml lipiodol for treatment of HCC.Changes of liver function,AFP,responses of tumor and complications related to embolization were analyzed before and after TACE.Results Thirty six patients with HCC were enrolled into this study.After TACE,patients' liver function got worsen and tumor size decreased significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion TACE with use of microspheres combined with lipiodol is an effective treatment for HCC,but should be taken carefully to avoid hepatic failure.

The strain of DG7 isolated from the oilwater sample in DAGANG oilfield could produce surfactant ?acids and gas in the culture medium in which the diesel was sole carbon source .The strain was Gram-negative, motive, rod and growed facultatively in the 0 to 18.5% NaCl. Based on its characters, the strain was identified as a member of the genus Aeromonas, but there were some differences between this strain and the described species of this genus in some biochemical features, suggesting that it could be a new species of the genus.
