Objective:Some medical liquid needs to be heated to the human body temperature, so the constant temperature case is a necessary equipment. But the common constant temperature case is often bulky, inconvenient application and the price is very high, so this paper is mainly to develop a convenient and cheap thermostat device for medical liquid heating.Methods:The system used single-chip microcomputer for temperature control. The temperature sensor collected and displayed the temperature of the box when the temperature was set up. Then the heating module started when the temperature was lower than the set point, and stopped heating when reaching to the set point.Results: The temperature control effect of constant temperature case tested by calibrated mercury thermometer, the temperature of constant temperature case was not significantly different from that of mercury thermometer.Conclusion: The portable constant temperature case for medical liquid have the characteristics of precise temperature control, high temperature resolution, and small temperature fluctuations. It can meet the clinical needs and be worth to popularizing in clinical applications.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of inhaled aerosolized and intravenous milrinone (a phosphodiesteraee-3 inhibitor) on postoperative pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in children with congenital heart disease (CHD).Methods Forty CHD complicated with PAH children aged 5-14 yr weighing 15-38 kg with pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) 30-90 mm Hg were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 20 each): Ⅰ milrinone inhalation group and Ⅱ intravenous milrinone group. At the end of CPB, aerosolized milrinone 1 ml/kg was inhaled for 12 h at 30 min intervals, and each time milrinone was inhaled for 10 min in group Ⅰ . In group Ⅱ , a bolus of 10 g/kg milrinone was given iv followed by 12 h milrinone infusion at 0.5 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 . Blood samples were taken from aorta and pulmonary artery for blood gas analysis at the end of administration and venous oxygen saturation (S(-v)O2) was recorded. MAP, PAP, pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) were recorded every 2 h during milrinone administration. The duration of endotracheal tube, PAH, lung infection and postoperative hyoxemia were recorded during milrinone administration. Results PAP, PVRI and the incidence of lung infection and PAH were significantly lower, while MAP, SVRI and S(-v)O2higher in group Ⅰ than in group Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the duration of endotracheal tube and incidence of hyoxemia between the two groups(P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Inhaled aerosolized milrinone has better therapeutic effect than intravenous milrinone on PAH in children with CHD.

OBJECTIVETo detect potential mutation of EXT1 gene in a pedigree affected with multiple osteochondroma and explore its pathogenic mechanism.

METHODSThe coding regions and their flanking sequences of the EXT1/EXT2 genes were subjected to PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. Suspected mutations were verified by excluding possible single nucleotide polymorphisms and bioinformatics analysis. Transcripts of the EXT1 gene in the proband were analyzed by TA clone-sequencing, with its abundance compared with that of healthy controls.

RESULTSDNA sequencing has identified in the proband a novel heterozygous point mutation (c.1164+1G to A) at the 5'splice sites of intron 3 of the EXT1 gene. The same mutation was not found in the healthy controls. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the mutation is highly conserved and can lead to skipping of exon 3 or aberrant splicing. TA clone-sequencing indicated that the numbers of transcripts with skipping of exon 3 has significantly increased in the proband (< 0.05) compared with the controls.

CONCLUSIONThe c.1164+1G to A mutation has resulted in skipping of exon 3 in a proportion of EXT1 gene transcripts. As the result, the number of transcripts with tumor suppressing function is relatively reduced and has ultimately led to the tumors.

OBJECTIVE: To verify a HLA-DQB1*03:90N allele and method to improve the accuracy of HLA typing. METHODS: A total of 2265 hematopoietic stem cell donors from Shenzhen Branch of China Marrow Donor Program in 2018 were initially detected by a PCR sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP) method. Among these, a rare HLA-DQB1 allele was identified by sequence-based tying (SBT) and Ion Torrent S5 next generation sequencing (NGS). RESULTS: The SSOP typing result suggested the HLA-DQB1 to be a rare allele, while an insertion and a deletion was suspected in its exon 2 by SBT, which were confirmed by NGS as DQB1*03:90N and DQB1*06:01, respectively. CONCLUSION Rare alleles suspected by the SSOP method should be verified by other methods to ensure the accuracy of HLA genotyping. Rare alleles formed by deletions can be detected by NGS with accuracy.

Objective:To investigate the association of total sleep time (TST) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) with hypertension in patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSA).Methods:A total of 440 OSA patients admitted to Yixing Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022 were consecutively enrolled, including 236 patients with hypertension (OSA+hypertension group) and 204 patients without hypertension (OSA group). The clinical data and polysomnograpic parameters were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of OSA complicated with hypertension. The multiplicative interaction between TST and ODI on OSA with hypertension was analyzed. A two-factor cross-over analysis of TST and ODI was performed and the additive interaction model was used to analyze the additive interaction between TST and ODI on OSA with hypertension.Results:Univariate logistic regression showed that male sex, smoking, diabetes, coronary heart disease, TST <7 h, age, body mass index, neck circumference, waist circumference, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score, TST, AHI, ODI>16 times/h, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and fasting blood glucose were positively correlated with hypertension in OSA patients (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking ( OR=4.327, 95% CI: 2.499-2.499, P<0.001), TST<7 h ( OR=1.748, 95% CI: 1.079-2.832, P=0.023) and ODI>16 times/h ( OR=3.482, 95% CI: 2.016-6.014, P<0.001) were independently associated with hypertension in OSA patients. After introducing a multiplicative term and adjusting for confounding factors, there was a positive multiplication interaction between TST <7 h and ODI>16 times/h ( OR=2.958, 95% CI: 1.079-8.113, P<0.050). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of hypertension in OSA patients with TST<7 h and ODI>16 times/h was 7.196 times (95% CI: 3.421-15.137) higher than that in patients with TST≥7 h and ODI≤16 times/h. The additive interaction model showed a synergistic effect between TST<7 h and ODI>16 times/h, with S value of 4.302 (95% CI: 1.566-11.815), RERI value of 4.756 (95% CI: 0.642-8.869) and API value of 66.10% (95% CI: 43.10%-89.10%). Conclusion:Shortened sleep duration and increased ODI are independent risk factors for hypertension in OSA patients, and when they coexist, the risk of hypertension in OSA patients is further increased.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of KIR/HLA alleles with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among ethnic Han Chinese patients from southern China. METHODS: For 95 patients with HCC and 171 healthy controls, the genotype of HLA-C alleles was determined with a PCR sequence-specific oligonucleotides typing method on an Illumina GenDx NGSgo platform. Genotypes comprised of HLA-C and KIR gene alleles were also subjected to statistical analysis. RESULTS: In total 16 KIR genes (2DL2, 2DS2, 2DS3, 2DS5, 3DS1, 2DS1, 2DL5, 2DS4, 3DL1, 3DP1, 2DL3, 2DP1, 3DL3, 2DL1, 3DL2 and 2DL4) were discovered in the two groups. The frequencies of KIR2DL3 alleles and combinational genotypes of KIR2DL3/HLA-C1C2 were significantly lower in the patient group compared with the controls (0.9368 vs. 0.9883, χ²>3.84; P<0.05, OR = 0.1; 0.0112 vs. 0.2663, χ²>3.84; P<0.05, RR = 0.03). The frequency of HLA-C2C2 genotype of the patient group was significantly lower than that of the controls (0.0316 vs. 0.2690, P<0.05, RR = 0.09), while the frequency of HLA-C1C2 genotype was significantly higher than that of the controls (0.2316 vs. 0.0058, P<0.05, RR = 51.23). CONCLUSION Above results suggested that the KIR2DL3 allele is associated with lower risk for HCC. There may be individual difference in patients with HCC and HBV infection but various combinations of KIR/HLA alleles.
