OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Compound duzhenggan jiegu plaster for external use on the healing of closed distal radius fracture. METHODS:68 cases of closed distal radial fracture were randomly assigned into treatment group(34 cases) and control group (34 cases). Treatment group was treated with Compound duzhenggan jiegu plaster for external use,and control group was treated with Dieda pills for external use. The changes of X-ray score,BMD and serum ALP content were com-pared between 2 groups after 30 d and 60 d treatment. RESULTS:In 2 groups,there were statistically significant difference in X-ray score,BMD and serum ALP content between 30 d and 60 d treatment(P<0.01). After 60 d treatment,there were statistical-ly significant difference in X-ray score,BMD and serum ALP content between 2 groups(P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compound duzhenggan jiegu plaster for external use in the treatment of closed radius distal fracture can promote the increase of BMD and serum ALP content,improve fracture repair and healing,shorten the healing time. The mechanism should be further re-searched.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of eosinophilic lung disease.Methods Patients who were diagnosed with eosinophilic lung disease and hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from January 2004 to August 2012.Data of etiology,clinical manifestation,imaging and pathological features,diagnosis and treatment were recorded.Results A total of 25 patients were diagnosed with eosinophilic lung disease including 9 chronic eosinophilic pneumonia,6 churg-strauss syndrome,and 10 cases of parasitic infection of which two patients were the simple pulmonary eosinophilia (L(o)ffler syndrome).Eosinophil counts in peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were increased.Arterial gas analysis showed varying degree of hypoxemia,which pulmonary function tests showed restrictive,obstructive,mixed ventilatory dysfunction.Chest CT showed bilateral flaky,streak or flake diffuse ground-glass infiltrates and reticular opacities.Results of pulmonary biopsy or skin biopsy identified diffuse eosinophil infiltration.Corticoidsteroid therapy alone or combined with immunosuppressive agents were both effective.Conclusion (1) Liver fluke and other food-borne parasites are the most common causes in eosinophilic lung disease; followed by unexplained chronic acidophilic granulocyte pneumonia; (2) In addition to histopathological evidence,the diagnosis of eosinophilic lung disease was made comprehensively based on clinical features,laboratory test,the BALF analysis,and imaging data.

Objective To investigate the meridian touching on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia effect of adjuvant therapy.Methods 120 cases of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,60 cases in the control group were treated with modified simple touch of domestic law,on the basis of modified simple touch,the observation group increased meridian touching,2 times per day,once every 15 min.The nursing effect was compared between two groups.Results The observation group was significantly better than the control group in items such as daily intake of milk,sleep time,meconium drained time,jaundice.Conclusions On the basis of modified simple touch of domestic law,the addition of meridian touching can effectively reduce neonatal hyperbilirubinemia serum bilirubin levels,prevent high bilirubin encephalopathy,and promote the growth and development of newborns.

Objective To explore the genetic mutation in neonates who failed to pass hearing screening.Methods A total of 111 cases of neonates who failed to pass hearing screening and were conifrmed sensorineural deafness by auditory brainstem evoked potential (ABR) were randomly selected. The heel blood was collected and DNA was extracted.GJB2, SLC26A4, and 11 mutation hotspots in mitochondria gene12SrRNA were tested. The relationship between degree of hearing loss and gene mutation was analyzed.Results In 111 neonates, mutation in deafness gene were found in 24 cases (21.6%) . Among them 14 cases (12.6%) hadGJB2 gene mutation including 5 cases of 235delC single heterozygous mutation, 5 cases of 235delC, and 1 case each of 299_300delAT compound heterozygous mutation, 235delC homozygous mutation, 299_300delAT single heterozygous mutation, 176_191del16 and 235delC compound heterozygous mutation, and 299_300delAT and 508_511dupAACG compound heterozygous mutation respectively. Ten cases (9.0%) hadSLC26A4 gene mutation including 2 cases of IVS7-2A>G single heterozygous mutation, 3 cases of 1226G>A single heterozygous mutation, 2 cases of 2168A>G single heterozygous mutation, and 3 cases of IVS7-2A>G and 2168A>G compound heterozygous mutation.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PRRC2A gene with the susceptibility to sporadic breast cancer among Han women in Jiangsu Province, China. Methods:Using the genotyping technique of matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, we analyzed the polymorphisms of an SNP (chr6_31697494) in gene PRRC2A in 214 breast cancer patients and 212 healthy controls admitted to the Huaian Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital. The genotype frequencies were analyzed using a Chi-square test between the case and control groups. Unconditional lo-gistic regression analysis for calculating the odds ratio (OR) and 95%confidence interval (95%CI) was conducted by analyzing the cor-relation between the susceptibility to breast cancer and genotypes. Additional analysis was then performed based on the immunohisto-chemical results of the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR). Results:The genotype frequencies for chr6_31697494 between the case and control groups were not significantly different (P>0.05). Further analysis indicated that the genotype frequencies of the site were significantly different in the ER (+/-) groups or the PR (+/-) groups (P<0.05). Heterozygous genotype (chr6_31697494, CT) was related to the breast cancers with ER (+) and PR (+) (OR=0.40, 95%CI:0.33-0.47;OR=0.49, 95%CI:0.43-0.57, respectively). Conclusion:No significant difference was found between the polymorphism of chr6_31697494 in the PRRC2A gene and the suscepti-bility to breast cancer among Han women in Jiangsu Province. The heterozygous genotypes were associated with breast cancer tissues with ER (+) and PR (+).
