Objective To investigate the relationship between the slow acetylator genotype induced by the genetic polymorphism of N acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene and the early onset Parkinson disease. Methods Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR RFLP) method was used and three mutant alleles M1, M2 and M3 of NAT2 were studied in 126 patients with idiopathic early onset Parkinson disease and 122 age matched randomly selected controls. Results The frequencies of alleles M1, M2 and M3 of NAT2 in patients were 8 7%,26 6% and 13 1%,respectively,however,there were 2 9%,19 7% and 14 8% in controls, respectively The difference in frequency of allele M1 was statistically significant( P =0 005) The frequency of slow acetylator genotype was higher in patients (23 0%) than in controls (10 7%), showing an OR of 2 507( P =0 009). Conclusion Our study suggests that the slow acetylator genotype of N acetyltransferase 2 might be associated with the occurrence of the idiopathic early onset Parkinson′s disease

Using Isopropyl amine (0.003 mol/L), p-methyl-phenol (0.03 mol/L) and methanol (1 mol/L) for simulating amino groups, phenol groups and hydroxyl groups in silk fibroin respectively, the reaction rate of different nucleophilic groups in silk with monochlorotriazine reactive dye was studied at various temperature and pH by high performance liquid chromatography. It was found that the overall reaction rate of dyes′ phenolysis was by far higher than that of ammonolysis and alcoholysis on the conditions of 70-95 ℃ and pH=8-10. The phenolysis overall reaction rates of C.I. reactive red 24 and C.I. reactive orange 2 were 8.5 and 12.5 times of their ammonolysis′, and 23 and 50 times of their alcoholysis′ in the term of pH 9 and 95 ℃. The phenolysis efficiencies of those two dyes were 47.4 and 96.3, the ammonolysis efficiencies were 4.6 and 6.9, and the isopropyl amine, p-methyl-phenol and methanol to simulate the silk fibroin, the reaction selectivity between the monochlorotriazine reactive dyes and nucleophilic groups in silk fibroin was investigated. It was deduced that monochlorotriazine reactive dyes are suitable for dyeing silk on the conditions of about 85 ℃ and pH=8-9, and under this condition, phenol groups are the major groups in silk dyeing with monochlorotriazine reactive dyes, amino groups are the minor groups, and the contributions of hydroxyl groups can be neglected.

Objective To explore pre-service training model and its efficacy for medical undergraduate interns.Methods Anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted for 50 medical undergraduates by teaching management staff.Results Totally 62％ students thought that pre-practice training was necessary,62％ students commented that the arrangement of this pre-practice training was reasonable and feasible,more than 95％ students supported the content and form of this training and more than 95％ students believed that pre-practice training can culture the sense of organizational discipline,foster favorable doctor-patient relationship and promote clinical knowledge and skill acquisition.In general,medical undergraduates had high degree of recognition after systematic training.Conclusion A set of standardized pre-practice training programs should be summarized and constantly be refined and improved so as to ensure the training quality.

Objective To detect the micro satellite instability (MSI) from the precancerous and cancerous lesions (GC) and its effect on carcinogenesis.Methods Silver staining single strand conformation polymorphism polymerize chain reaction (PCR SSCP) was used to screen MSI markers at 5 loci in formalin fixed,paraffin embedded tissues of GC (n=30), dysplasia (n=30), intestinal metaplasia (IM) ( n =40) and corresponding normal gastric tissues.Results The abnormal shifting of the single strand DNA was identified in 7(23 3%)out of GC, in 9 (30%) out of dysplasia and in 8(20%) out of IM samples respectively. GC with MSI was associated with distal location of the tumors ( P =0 044). MSI was not detected in low grade IM tissues.Conclusion MSI may be of an early event during gastric carcinogenesis. It contributes probably to the acquisition of a transformed cell phenotype and to the development of gastric cancer.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of balloon dilatation with ice water and room temperature water on cricopharyngeal achalasia after brainstem stroke.Methods Forty dysphagic patients with cricopharyngeal achalasia after brainstem stroke were recruited.Twenty patients assigned to experimental group were treated by balloon dilatation with ice water and low frequency elecrtrical stimulation.Twenty patients assigned to control group were treated by balloon dilatation with room temperature water and low frequency electrical stimulation.Results After treatment,36 out of the 40 patients of the two groups could eat pasty food independently without choking.Videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) showed that the cricopharyngeal sphincter relaxed and the foods passed successfully when swallowing bolus,and no aspiration happened.In comparison,the level of cricopharyngeal opening,the number of patients with nasogastric tube remained and eating normally,and the scores of functional oral intake scale (FOIS) between the two groups showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The average treatment sessions,average hospitalization days and average treatment cost in treatment group were significantly less than those in the control group(P ＜0.05).Conclusion Cricopharyngeal achalasia can be treated effectively by balloon dilatation with ice water or with room temperature water combined with low frequency electrical stimulation,but treatment course of balloon dilatation with ice water were significantly shorter than that of balloon dilatation with room temperature water.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effective method of preventing cubitus varus deformity in nonoperative treatment of humeral supracondylar fracture in children.

METHODSFrom May 1992 to December 2013,319 patients with hemeral supracondylar fracture in children were treated with manual reduction and external plaster fixation in extension position. There were 253 males and 66 females, aged from 15 months to 13 years old with an average of 6.7 years. Among the patients with humeral supracondylar fracture, extension type was in 284 cases and inflexion type was in 35 cases; 167 cases on the left and 152 cases on the right. Injury to treatment time was 1 hour to 7 days with a mean of 1.8 days. No included nerve injury and operative case in the patients.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 3 months to 14 years with an average of 37.3 months. All fractures obtained bone healing and healed time was 6 to 8 weeks with an average of 6.9 weeks. No complications of serious cubitus varus deformity,vascular nerve injury or volkmann contracture were found. In 183 cases, the carrying angle was consistent with itself contralateral,ranged from 5° to 15°; in 105 cases, the carrying angle of uninjuryed side was decreased. During the reset, the carrying angle of 26 patients with ulnar deviation angle was for -5° to 0°; and 5 patients with radial deviation angle was for 15° to 18°, basically does not affect the appearance. The activities of all elbow joint were normal.

CONCLUSIONExternal plaster fixation in extension position has some value to preventing cubitus varus deformity in nonoperative treatment of humeral supracondylar fracture in children and hope that more scholars to do further study.

Objective To evaluate the image quality of 64-multi detector computed tomography (MDCT)and the clinical accuracy in detecting coronary artery lesions.Methods One hundred and five patients were studied by MDCT.The results were compared with invasive coronary angiography(ICA). Patients were excluded for atrial fibrillation,but not for high heart rate,coronary calcification,or obesity. MDCT was analyzed with regard to image quality and presence of coronary artery lesions.Results The data evaluation of the image quality was based on a total of 1365 segments(13 coronary segments for each patient),of which 1144 segments were considered to have diagnostic image quality,but 221 segments (16.2%)could not be sufficiently evaluated because of severe calcifications(153 segments)and motion artifacts(68 segments).The median calcium score[Agatston score equivalent(ASE)]was 154(range 0—1983).87 of the 105 patients had an ASE of less than 1,000[median 105(range 0—994)],and 18 patients had an ASE greater than 1000[median 1477(range 1115—1983)].For detecting lesions with 50% or greater narrowing(without any exclusion criteria),the overall sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value were 85.7%,97.9%,93.0%,and 95.5%,respectively. When limiting the number of patients to those with a calcium score of less than 1000 ASE,the threshold- corrected sensitivity for lesions with 50% or greater narrowing was 96.0%;specificity,98.9%;positive predictive value,95.3%;and negative predictive value,99.0%.Conclusion Our results indicate high quantitative and qualitative diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice MSCT in comparison to QCA in a broad spectrum of patients.

In this paper, literature about adverse reaction induced by Puerarin injection published in recent years were reviewed and analyzed. It was reported that Puerarin injection can not only induce adverse reactions on multiple systems, such as immune, blood, urinary, digestive and cardiovascular system, but so far as to cause death. Therefore, it should be administered rationally and strictly according to the direction and the course of medication should be rigorously monitored to prevent the occurrence of adverse reactions.
