BACKGROUND:In the past, the surgical treatment of patients with hemophilia B was difficult, the bleeding was difficult to estimate, and the wound healing was difficult. In the perioperative period, the control of coagulation factor IX activity in a safe range can ensure the safety of the operation, resulting in wel wound healing, good recovery, and no significant complications appeared in the long term. OBJECTIVE:To study essentials of perioperative diagnosis and treatment in omarthritis patients with hemophilia B undergoing humeral head replacement, and to analyze the importance on prognosis and rehabilitation. METHODS:The significance of surgical treatment for hemophilia B patients with arthritis, the prevention and treatment of perioperative complications were summarized through literature review. Humeral head replacement was conducted in a patient with hemophilia omarthritis by monitoring coagulation factor activity and infusing human prothrombin complex and frozen plasma. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) According to the monitoring, patients, whose coagulation factor IX activity increased from 7%to 50%, underwent humeral head replacement. (2) Within three days after replacement, coagulation factor IX activity was control ed>30%, 3 days-2 weeks>20%. No obvious complication was found after surgery. (3) These results suggested that hemophilia B arthritis was commonly treated by surgical treatment, which plays an important role in assessing patient’s condition and treatment. During perioperative period, replacement therapy of human prothrombin complex and control of coagulation factor activity in a appropriate range can effectively prevent postoperative complications.

Cardiovascular diseases(CVDs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world.So far,there has been substantial progress toward understanding the pathophysiology and treatment of CVDs.There are multiple cell signaling cascades,some of which are beneficial or compensatory and others deleterious.The balance between these pathways determines the outcome as a diseased or non-diseased state.Protein phosphorylation,which is mediated by enzymes,called protein kinases,is a major mechanism for transducing external stimuli into intracellular signals.Electively targeting of signaling pathways using protein kinase inhibitors would have a potential advantage over receptor blockers.By now,there are types of protein kinase inhibitiors available for treating several diseases.The success of kinase inhibitors in cancer treatment has strongly supported application in the treatment of CVDs.Here,we will review several kinds of protein kinases as potential targets for CVDs and some difficulty in identifying a protein kinase as a putative therapeutic target for CVDs.

Objective To study the relationship between polymorphisms of RET gene and the incidence of Hirschsprung's disease, investigate the haplotypes of RET gene in patients with Hirschsprung's disease, and analyze the characteristics of single nucleotide polymorphisms of RET gene in Zhejiang Han population. Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from 123 patients with Hirschsprung's disease and 194 healthy children from 2005 to 2007 at Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University. G enomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood, and the genotypes were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. The frequencies of haplotypes were estimated using the PHASE software. The frequencies of RET alleles of the 194 healthy children were compared with those of other races. The correlation between RET gene and Hirschsprung's disease was analyzed using the chi-square test, and it was expressed in the form of odds ratio and 95% confidence interval.Results Increased risk of Hirschsprung's disease was observed in homozygous genotypes of the RET alleles -5AA, - 1CC, c135AA and c2307GG when compared with other genotypes ( x2 =57. 775, 20.469, 57. 040,38. 869, P < 0. 05 ). Increased risk of Hirschsprung's disease was also observed in RET alleles -5A, - 1 C,c135A, c2307G when compared with other alleles ( x2 = 85.114, 53.117, 77. 005, 70. 161, P <0.05). There was no relationship between the frequencies of the alleles and the types of Hirschsprung's disease ( x2= 0.048,0.265, 0. 395, 0.027, P > 0.05 ). The percentage of patients with haplotype ACAG was 75.2%, which was significantly higher than that of 38.7% in healthy children ( x2 = 62. 776, P < 0.05 ). The frequencies of Hirschsprung's disease-associated alleles of RET - 5A, c135A and c2307G in Chinese were significantly higher than thosein the Caucasians or Yorubas (P<0.05). Conclusions RET -5G>A, -1A >C, c135G>A and c2307T > G are associated with Hirschsprung's disease and haplotype ACAG is the core one in Zhejiang Han population. There is no relationship between the frequency of allele and the types of Hirschsprung's disease. The frequencies of alleles of RET -5A, c135A and c2307G in Chinese are significantly higher than those in the Caucasians or Yorubas.

Objective To explore the selection of medical unit and the major influencing factors among residents in Hubei province,to allocate reasonably the health resources and provide reference for developing medical policy.Methods With the method of multi-stage stratified cluster sampling,household survey were done.The multilevel statistical model was used to analyze the influencing factors of the first diagnosed agencies.Results The proportions of residents who chose primary medical institutions as the first diagnosed agencies were 64.5% in urban areas and 84.3% in rural areas,and the visiting rate decreased as the level of health care institutions increased.The selection of first diagnosed agencies among patients were related to district (city or village,OR=0.463,95%CI..0.254-0.842),age (OR=1.023,95%CI:1.010-1.036),the educational attainment (OR>1.000),illness duration in days (OR=0.945,95%CI:0.917-0.973) and number of days in bed (OR=0.854,95 % CI:0.825-0.884).Conclusion The residents who chose primary medical institutions as the first diagnosed agencies took a large proportion.District,age,the educational attainment and the illness duration in days had influence on the selection of the first diagnosed agencies among residents.

Objective:
To understand the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of human brucellosis in Huai'an of Jiangsu Province, and to provide evidence for the formulation of prevention and control measures.
Methods:
Relevant data was collect through "Infectious Disease Report Information Management System". Descriptive epidemiology (population distribution, time distribution, regional distribution) and clinical characteristics analysis of brucellosis were conducted in Huai'an City from 2013 to 2018.
Results:
Totally 704 cases of brucellosis had been reported in Jiangsu Province, with an average annual incidence of 0.146 7/100 000, among which 32 cases (4.55%) had been reported in Huai'an, with an average annual incidence of 0.110 0/100 000 from 2013 to 2018. The annual outcomes (incidence rates) were 2 (0.041 6/100 000), 4 (0.083 4/100 000), 6 (0.124 7/100 000), 6 (0.123 2/100 000), 8 (0.163 6/100 000) and 6 (0.122 1/100 000), respectively. Most of the cases were males (20 cases, 62.5%), and aged mainly focused from 40-< 60 years old (20 cases, 62.5%). The occupation was mainly farmers (21 cases, 65.6%). The contact with animals was mainly sheep, and the contact mode was feeding and slaughtering. The cases mainly occurred from March to September (26 cases), and all districts had cases except Hongze. The main clinical manifestations were fever, fatigue, hyperhidrosis and arthromyalgia, with 30 cases (93.8%), 28 cases (87.5%), 25 cases (78.1%) and 22 cases (68.8%), respectively. Some cases showed enlargement of liver, spleen, lymph nodes and testis.
Conclusions
The incidence of brucellosis in Huai'an City is on the rise, and the characteristics of population distribution, time distribution and regional distribution are obvious. The clinical features are mainly fever, fatigue, and hyperhidrosis. We should strengthen the monitoring of brucellosis, carry out health education for high-risk groups, and reduce the occurrence of brucellosis.
