OBJECTIVETo investigate the association of Axis inhibitor-2 (AXIN2) gene rs2240308, rs8081536 and rs9913621 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with Hirschsprung disease(HSCR).
METHODSDNA was extracted from 120 HSCR patients and 120 healthy controls. The AXIN2 gene exon2-rs2240308, exon5- rs8081536 and exon6-rs9913621 were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). SNPs of AXIN2 gene were analyzed by restrictive endonuclease digestion with CviJI, DdeI and BstNI and DNA sequencing. The allele and genotype frequencies and risk factors of HSCR and control group were analyzed by Chi-square test.
RESULTSNo significant differences were found in genotype frequencies of CC and CT in AXIN2 rs8081536 between HSCR patients and the control group (P> 0.05). The frequencies of genotypes GG, AG and AA as well as alleles A and G genotypes in AXIN2 gene rs2240308 locus were found to be associated with HSCR (P< 0.05). The disease risk of genotypes GG and AA and allele G with was 2.091, 0.846 and 1.703, respectively. The frequencies of genotypes CC, CT and TT as well as alleles C and T in AXIN2 gene rs9913621 locus were also associated with HSCR (P< 0.05). The disease risk of the genotypes CC and TT and the allele T was 0.535, 1.113 and 1.569, respectively. Heterozygote mutation for rs2240308 was found in the HSCR patients, i.e. the GCA to CCA mutation at position 301. Heterozygosity for rs9913621 was observed in the HSCR patients, i.e. the CAC to CAG mutation at position 199.
CONCLUSIONThe rs8081536 allelic variation in AXIN2 gene does not contribute to the susceptibility of HSCR in the patients. AXIN2 rs2240308 and rs9913621 allelic variation might be related to HSCR. Individuals having allele G and T in these loci are at relatively high risk for HSCR.

BACKGROUND: Drug allergy (DA) is one of the most important contributors to iatrogenic morbidity and mortality. Currently DA remains a major challenge for healthcare practitioners (HCPs). OBJECTIVE: To assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of DA among HCPs in Central China. METHODS: A 25-item self-administered DA questionnaire were developed and applied in our study. The questionnaire covered 3 domains: knowledge, attitudes, and practice patterns. From July 2015 to October 2015, HCPs in 7 cities of Central China anonymously participated in the cross-sectional study. RESULTS: A total of 350 HCPs participated the study, 91 questionnaires uncompleted and 259 were analyzed. Among the respondents, 166 (64.1%) were doctors, 55 (21.2%) were nurses and 38 (14.7%) were medical students. The mean knowledge precision was 59.8%. HCPs agreed that drug induced immediate allergic reactions were IgE mediated (83.4%) and happened within 6 hours after drug administration (89.6%), and epinephrine was the first choice for drug induced anaphylaxis (79.5%). They also agreed that penicillin skin test was valuable to predict allergic reaction (88.4%). However, high proportion of HCPs (66.0%) believed glucocorticoids had an impact on drug skin test rather than antihistamines (4.2%), 47.1% never performed positive and negative control during skin test. More than 90% of the respondents would take patients' allergic history before drug administration, 98.8% agreed that they should receive advanced training of DA knowledge and practice. CONCLUSION: The HCPs demonstrated a low level of knowledge regarding DA. Advanced education is urgently needed for better understanding and filling the gaps exist in knowledge and clinical practice of DA.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of Parkinson′s disease (PD).Methods:32 PD patients treated in Hunan Brain Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were selected for the study. Guided by MRI and supplemented by electrophysiological stimulation to correct the target, PD patients were treated with DBS for the nucleus accumbens. Based on Webster and Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores before and after DBS treatment, the clinical treatment effects were evaluated. And the content of Aβ1-42, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, uric acid (UA), malondialdehyde (MDA), homocysteine (Hcy), S-nitrosylated dynamin-relatedprotein 1 (SNO-Drp1) and Drp1 was measured before and after DBS treatment. The ratio of SNO-Drp1/Drp1 was also measured.Results:The Webster score and UPDRS score of PD patients after DBS treatment were lower than those before DBS treatment ( P<0.05). The Aβ1-42 and Drp1content of PD patients after DBS treatment was higher than that before DBS treatment ( P<0.05), while the content of IL-1β, UA, MDA, Hcy and the ratio of SNO-Drp1/Drp1 were lower than before treatment ( P<0.05). Conclusions:DBS has confirmed a good clinical effect in the treatment of PD patients and significantly improved the quality of life of patients.
