0.05),but the duration of the peaking period, the time for improving one grade, the time for reaching 2 grade, and the hospitalization was significantly shorter in patients treated with steroid than without steroid(P0.05). (3) The major side effects included Cushing's reaction and the infection of the upper respiratory tract.Conclusion Steroids can quicken the recovery of GBS, and shortened average hospitalization in patients with GBS, but steroid doesn't alter the incidence rate of the sequel and the severity of the disability at 1 year in the course.It has no side reaction to use steroid reasonably.

ObjectiveTo understand the difference in characteristics between juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and adult dermatomyositis (ADM).Methods Sixty-one cases of JDM were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 30 cases of ADM. Results The rashes were presented as the initial symptom in all expect one JDM patients. Gottron’s papules were presented in 90% JDM patients and 67% ADM patients. Calcium deposition was presented in 7% JDM patients and none of the ADM patients. The cardiovascular system was involved in 7 % JDM patients and 23% ADM patients. Cancer occurred in none of JDM patients and 13% ADM patients. In JDM and ADM patients, the ratio of elevated muscle enzymes from highest to lowest was LDH, hy-droxybutyric acid enzyme, CK-MB, AST, and CK. The positive ratio of magnetic resonance (MRI) all exceeded 80% in JDM and ADM groups. Two cases died in each group.Conclusions The clinical presentation of JDM is basically the same as that of ADM. The most common initial symptoms in JDM are skin rashes and Gottron's papules. Cardiovascular disease and cancer are less in JDM than in ADM. MRI is valuable in the diagnosis of DM.

Objective: To investigate the effect and safety of ultra-thin oblique posterosuperior auricular fascial flap in the second stage of ear reconstruction. Methods: Fifty-six cases with congenital microtia treated in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University Medical Cosmetology Department from November 2015 to November 2018 were selected as the research objects. In the first stage, the costal cartilage ear stent was implanted, and in the second stage. The ultra-thin posterior oblique fascia flap was used to cover the stent. And the cranioauricular angle was reconstructed by free skin grafting. Results: 48 cases of the 54 cases completely survived, and 8 cases had hemorrhage after operation. The wounds were healed after dressing change. The postoperative cranioauricular angle was close to the healthy side. Conclusions In the second stage of ear reconstruction, the retroauricular ultra-thin fascial flap method has reliable blood supply, small wound, unswollen reconstructed ears, and good outcome. It is a good choice for covering the ear framework.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the predictive value of myocardial scar mass in malignant ventricular arrhythmia (MVA) after myocardial infarction. METHODS: Thirty myocardial infarction patients with complete electrophysiology and cardiac MRI data admitted from January 2012 to August 2017 were enrolled in the study. According to the results of intracavitary electrophysiological study, MVA developed in 16 patients (MVA group) and not developed in 14 patients (non-MVA group). The qualitative and quantitative analysis of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVFE) and scar mass was performed with CV post-processing software and predictive value of myocardial scar and LVEF for MVA after myocardial infarction was analyzed using ROC curves. RESULTS: LVEF in MVA group was significantly lower than that in non-MVA group, and scar mass in MVA group was significantly higher than that in non-MVA group (all <0.05). Regression analysis showed that LVEF (=1.580) and scar mass (=6.270) were risk factors for MVA after myocardial infarction. For predicting MVA, the area under ROC curve () of LVEF was 0.696 with a sensitivity of 0.786 and the specificity of 0.685; the of the scar mass was 0.839 with a sensitivity was 0.618 and the specificity of 0.929; the of LVEF combined with scar mass was 0.848 with a sensitivity of 0.688 and specificity of 0.857. CONCLUSIONS Myocardial scar assessed by late gadolinium enhancement MRI is more effective than LVEF in predicting MVA after myocardial infarction.

Objective : The CRISPR / Cas9 technology was applied to construct PDE4D homozygous knockout mice to provide a basis for in-depth investigation of PDE4D gene function and mechanism of action． Methods: A vector was constructed for PDE4D gene exon 4，5 microinjected into fertilized eggs of C57BL /6J mice，and PDE4D －/ - mice were obtained after maternal breeding and offspring mating，and the mice genotypes were determined by PCR product sequencing and genotype identification techniques．Changes in morphology and function of the major organs of the mice were detected using an ultrasound imaging system and H＆E staining，and the expression of PDE4D protein in the mice was verified by Western blot assay. Results : The PDE4D －/ － mouse genotype was stably inherited， the mice were small，and there were no obvious morphological and histological changes in the major organs in vivo. The PDE4D expression was reduced or largely absent in the major tissues of PDE4D heterozygous or pure knockout mice，and the knockout effect was better． Conclusion PDE4D －/ － mice were successfully established using CRISPR / Cas9 technology，and no significant physiological abnormalities were found，which could be used for disease pathogenesis and drug research using PDE4D as the target.
