objective To observe the distribution of vitamin D receptor(VDR)gene polymorphisms in children of Han nationality and investigate the relationship between VDR gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility to children's dental fluorosis of Han nationality.Methods From October of 2008 to March of 2009,a case-control study was conducted among children between 8 and 12 years old with(n=101)and without(n=102)dental fluorosis using Dean method in Guandian countyside of Fengtai county in Anhui province.DNA was extracted from blood samples ofthese children.The Apa I,Bsm I,Fok I and raq I polymorphisms in the VDR gene were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP).The distribution of the genotypes in patients and the control group were analyzed. Results Different genotypes of the VDR gene existed in children of Han nationality with the highest distribution frequency of Aa, bb, Ff, TT, which respectively was 51.7% ( 105/203 ), 89.7% (182/203), 52.7% (107/203), 93.1% (189/203), followed by genotype distribution frequency of aa, Bb, FF, Tt, being 39.9% (81/203),7.9% (16/203),31.5% (64/203) ,6.9% (14/203), respectively. AA,BB, ff, tt distribution frequency was the lowest as follows, 8.4% ( 17/203 ), 2.4% (5/203), 15.8% (32/203),0 (0/203). The frequency distribution of VDR Apa I genotype was AA 7.9% (8/101), Aa 55.4% (56/101), aa 36.7%(37/101) in children with fluorosis, and AA 8.8% (9/102), Aa 48.0% (49/102), aa 43.3% (44/102) in children without fluorosis, respectively. There were no significant differences in the two groups(χ2= 1.13, P > 0.05).The frequency distribution of VDR Bsm I genotype was BB 3.0%(3/101), Bb 5.9%(6/101 ), bb 91.1% (92/101) in children with fluorosis, and BB 2.0% (2/102), Bb 9.8% (10/102), bb 88.2% (90/102) in children without fluorosis, respectively. There were no significant differences in the two groups(χ2 = 0.55, P > 0.05). The frequency distribution of VDR Fok I genotype was FF 28.7%(29/101), Ff 56.4% (57/101), ff 14.9%(15/101) in children with fluorosis, and FF 34.3% (35/102), Ff 49.0% (50/102), ff 16.7% (17/102) in children without fluorosis,respectively. There were no significant differences in the two groups(χ2 = 1.14, P > 0.05). The frequency distribution of VDR Taq I genotype was TT 93.1%(94/101), Tt 6.9%(7/101) in children with fluorosis, and TT 93.1% (95/102), Tt 6.9%(7/102) in children without fluorosis, respectively. The tt genotype was not found. There were no significant differences in the two groups (χ2 = 0.00, P > 0.05 ). Conclusions Different genotypes of the VDR gene existed in children of Han nationality. There were no correlation between VDR Apa I , Bsm I , Fok I , Taq I gene polymorphisms and children's dental fluorosis of Han nationality in this area.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and side effects of concurrent chemotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) following induction chemotherapy (IC) in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods From January 2005 to January 2009,62 cases of locally advanced NPC confirmed by pathological and cytological examination received IC with vinorelbine (25 mg/m2) plus cisplatin (25 mg/m2) for 2-4 cycles and then concurrent chemotherapy and IMRT.Conventional fractionated radiotherapy was adopted in IMRT.The radiotherapy for the nasopharyngeal region was performed a dose of 72-76 Gy/36-38 fractions,and additional 5-Gy gammaknife treatment was carried out in case of local tumor residue.Prophylactic irradiation to the cervical lymph nodes was performed at a dose of 50 Gy,and the dose was increased to 60-70 Gy in case of lymph node enlargement.Results The follow-up rate was 100%.The patients showed a response rate (RR) of 89% in the nasopharyngeal region and an RR of 90% in the cervical lymph nodes.The 1-,2-,and 3-year overall survival rates,disease-free survival rates,local relapse-free survival rates,and distant metastasis-free survival rates were 97%,92%,and 82%,94%,73%,and 65%,97%,89%,and 87%,and 97%,84%,and 77%,respectively.The incidence rates of grade 3-4 acute reactions were 37% for leucopenia,18% for thrombocytopenia,and 6% for mucositis.No grade 3-4 long-term temporomandibular joint injury and xerostomia were observed.Conclusions Concurrent chemotherapy and IMRT following IC with vinorelbine (25 mg/m2) plus cisplatin (25 mg/m2) have tolerable adverse effects and can achieve high survival rate in the patients with locally advanced NPC.

Objective To explore the gene expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)in childhood acute non- lymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) and its clinical implication. Methods Expression of hTERT mRNA was detected in HL - 60 leukemia cell line, 14 ANLL children and 11 healthy children by reverse transcriptase- polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR). Results hTERT gene was expressed in HL-60 cell line, ANLL children (11/14) and healthy children (2/11). The expression of hTERT gene was observed in all subtypes of ANLL. Furthermore, there were statistically significant differences in expression levels of hTERT gene between children with ANLL and healthy children (t = 5.034 P = 0). Conclusions The up - regulation of gene expression of hTERT may play a very important role in the progression of children ANLL. The detection of hTERT expression may be a useful additional method for monitoring the state of illness.

Objective:To observe the effect of Governor Vessel-unblocking and mind-refreshing acupuncture plus functional training on neural development in infants with brain damage and seek an effective method for early intervention of infantile brain damage.Methods:Eighty infants with brain injury were recruited and allocated to a treatment group and a control group by their visiting sequence,with 40 cases in each group.The control group received exercise training,40 min each session and 6 sessions a week,and tuina treatment,30 min each time and 6 times a week.Based on the treatment protocol for the control group,the treatment group additionally received Governor Vessel-unblocking and mind-refreshing acupuncture,3 times a week and 10 sessions as a course at a 2-week interval.Before the treatment and after 14-week treatment,the gross motor function measure (GMFM) and developmental quotient (DQ) of Bejing Gesell developmental scale were used to evaluate the development of the infants.Results:After the treatment,the GMFM score and DQs of Gesell scale all increased by different levels in the two groups,and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05);the scores of the treatment group were superior to those of the control group,and the between-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).Conclusion:Governor Vessel-unblocking and mind-refreshing acupuncture plus functional training can significantly promote the development of gross motor and cognitive functions in infants with brain damage,and it is an early and effective intervention for infantile brain damage.
