Objective To study the value and limitation of CT in the damage to multiple organs in children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Methods Analysis of CT manifestations was performed in 13 cases of LCH proved by clinical features, laboratory data, and pathologic changes. Localized LCH was found in 4 cases, and disseminated LCH in 9 cases. All cases were examined by plain scan in craniocerebral, chest, liver, and spleen, and four cases by contrast-enhanced CT scan. Results The male outnumbered female in this group. Cranial bones were involved in the sequence of temporal bone(8 cases), parietal bone (3 cases), occipital bone (2 cases), and frontal bone (1 case). CT findings were very sensitive in showing the early destructions of the bones. The characteristic manifestation on CT was multiple lytic lesions of the flat bones at any sites, without reactive sclerosis and soft tissue mass accompanied with the bony lesion. Imaging findings presented later than the clinical manifestations for LCH involving the hypothalamus/pituitary axis. Involvement of the lung at various stages by LCH could be demonstrated by CT scan. Conclusion Imaging manifestations had no characteristics in LCH involvement. The sites of predilection and related CT manifestations could be suggestive of the diagnosis. In addition, CT findings can be helpful in the classification and evaluation of the therapy and prognosis in LCH.

Objective:To explore the incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer in the cancer registration areas of Heilongjiang province from 2013 to 2017 and their trends of change over time.Methods:The esophageal cancer incidence, mortality and population data reported by 12 cancer registration areas of Heilongjiang province were collected. Among them, the data of 11 areas met the check standards, including 7 cities above the prefecture level (abbreviated as urban area), 4 counties and county-level cities (abbreviated as rural area). The crude incidence and mortality rates of esophageal cancer in 11 cancer registration areas of Heilongjiang province from 2013 to 2017, and their standardized rates by Chinese population (adjusted according to the standard population composition of the 2000 census of China) and world population (adjusted using Segi world standard population composition), and the cumulative incidence or mortality rate from 0 to 74 years old (abbreviated as cumulative incidence or mortality rate) were calculated. Joinpoint regression was used to calculate the annual percentage change (APC) of the incidence and mortality rates, and the trend analysis was performed.Results:From 2013 to 2017, the crude incidence rate of esophageal cancer in the cancer registration areas of Heilongjiang province was 6.40/100 000, the standardized incidence rate by Chinese population was 3.63/100 000, and the cumulative incidence rate was 0.44%. The crude incidence rate of esophageal cancer in males (11.61/100 000) was higher than that in females (1.27/100 000). The crude incidence rate of esophageal cancer in rural area (6.27/100 000) was lower than that in urban area (6.71/100 000). From 2013 to 2017, the crude mortality rate of esophageal cancer in the cancer registration areas of Heilongjiang province was 5.32/100 000, the standardized mortality rate by Chinese population was 3.01/100 000, and the cumulative mortality rate was 0.35%. The crude mortality rate of esophageal cancer in males (9.56/100 000) was higher than that in females (1.15/100 000). The crude mortality rate of esophageal cancer in rural area (5.13/100 000) was lower than that in urban area (5.39/100 000). Joinpoint regression analysis showed that from 2013 to 2017, the incidence and mortality rates of esophageal cancer in the entire population and males had an increasing trend, but the differences were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05), and the standardized incidence rate by Chinese population in females had a downward trend, and the difference was statistically significant (APC = -7.92, 95% CI -11.52- -4.21, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The incidence and mortality rates of esophageal cancer in Heilongjiang province have been increasing in recent years, and the burden of disease is still heavy. In the male population, the primary prevention, early detection and early treatment of esophageal cancer should be paid more attention.

Objective To analyze the incidence, mortality and time trend of lung cancer in Heilongjiang Cancer Registries from 2013 to 2017. Methods We calculated the incidence (mortality) rate and age-standardized incidence (mortality) rate of lung cancer in Heilongjiang Cancer Registries from 2013 to 2017. Chinese population census in 2000 and World Segi's standard population were used for age-standardization. Annual percentage change (APC) was calculated using Joinpoint software. Results The incidence of lung cancer in Heilongjiang Cancer Registries from 2013 to 2017 was 63.44/105 and ASR China was 36.14/105. The incidence of lung cancer in males (78.08/105) was higher than that in females (49.04/105). The incidence of lung cancer in rural areas (65.54/105) was higher than that in urban areas (58.20/105). From 2013 to 2017, the mortality rate of lung cancer in Heilongjiang Cancer Registries was 57.02/105, and ASR China was 32.53/105. The mortality rate of lung cancer in males (69.92/105) was higher than that in females (44.40/105). The mortality rate of lung cancer in rural areas (60.68/105) was higher than that in urban areas (48.02/105). The incidence of lung cancer in the 55-year-old age group showed a downward trend (APC=-5.0%,

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of calmodulin (CaM) and its mutants on binding to voltage-gated Na channel isoleucine-glutamine domain (Na1.2 IQ).
METHODS:
The cDNA of Na1.2 IQ was constructed by PCR technique, CaM mutants CaM, CaM and CaM were constructed with Quickchange site-directed mutagenesis kit (QIAGEN). The binding of Na1.2 IQ to CaM and CaM mutants under calcium and calcium free conditions were detected by pull-down assay.
RESULTS:
Na1.2 IQ and CaM were bound to each other at different calcium concentrations, while GST alone did not bind to CaM. The binding affinity of CaM and Na1.2 IQ at [Ca]-free was greater than that at 100 nmol/L [Ca] ( < 0.05). In the absence of calcium, the binding amount of CaM wild-type to Na1.2 IQ was greater than that of its mutant, and the binding affinity of CaM to Na1.2 IQ was the weakest among the three mutants ( < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
The binding ability of CaM and CaM mutants to Na1.2 IQ is Ca-dependent. This study has revealed a new mechanism of Na1.2 regulated by CaM, which would be useful for the study of ion channel related diseases.
