Chinese Journal of Neurology 2015;48(6):514-520
Objective To discuss the correlation of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) with autoimmune disease of the central nervous system and its possible pathogenesis by reporting one case of the disease and reviewing related literature.Methods One case of WAS complicated with demyelinating disease of the central nervous system was reported.The patient' s clinical symptoms,laboratory examinations (such as blood tests,immune function tests,etc) and imaging features were analyzed.The patient's blood DNA was extracted and performed gene testing.And related literature was reviewed.Results The patient showed typical clinical symptoms of WAS,including eczema,thrombocytopenia and immune deficiency,complicated with demyelinating disease of the central nervous system.The DNA testing showed C400G > C p.(ALa134Pro) mutation,which is a missense mutation.The 134th amino acid in protein was changed from alanine to proline.The patient also showed the symptoms of demyelinating disease of the central nervous system,which drew our attention.This was the first report on WAS complicated with demyelinating disease of the central nervous system,which was perhaps caused by a gene mutation.Conclusions WAS complicated with demyelinating disease of the central nervous system is possibly resulted from the gene mutation,which leads to the expression disorder of WAS protein.And then non-red hematopoietic cells lead to signal transduction and cytoskeleton recombination disorders in response to environment stimulus,which produces lymphocytes immigration,signal transduction and immune synaps formation disorders.

Objective To construct a recombinant adenovirus contained respiratory syncytial virus F gene fragment. Methods The F gene fragment was amplified by RT-PCR. Then the recombinant shuttle plasmid pShuttle-CMV/F was constructed. The iinearized pShuttle-CMV/F was transformed into BJ5183-AD-1 electroporation competent cells which contained plasmid pAdEasy-1. The obtained homologous recom-binant plasmid was named pAdEasy/F, and transfected into 293 cells. Then the recombinant adenovirus rAd/F was obtained, and it was tested by electron microscope, RT-PCR, Western blot and immuno-fluores-cence assay(IFA). The vires titer and genetic stability were also studied initially. Results The recombi-nant adenovirus rAd/F was constructed, which was visualized as typical adenovirus morphology under elec-tron microscope. The transcription and expression of RSV F gene fragment integrated in the rAd/F were con-finned by RT-PCR, Western blot and IFA. Conclusion The recombinant adenovirus rAd/F contained RSV F gene fragment is successfully constructed and lay an important foundation for the further vaccine study.

China launched the nationwide resident standardized training (residential training) project since 2013 and has trained a large number of general practitioners. The primary health care institutions and general practitioners have played an important role during the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic, which not only presented the remarkable effect of residential training project, but provided new ideas for the further training program of general practitioners. It is proposed in this paper that we should adjust the training and assessment priorities in the following aspects: highlight the characteristics of general practice in the future training, so as to train general practitioners with more comprehensive ability, such as strengthening the ability to deal with public health emergencies, strengthening the consciousness and capability of scientific research, and increasing the proportion of humanistic quality training; At the same time, we should enhance career attractiveness of general practitioners to keep the excellent general residents stay for their career;All mentioned above will further improve the overall quality of general practitioners, and enable them to better deal with public health emergencies.

OBJECTIVEThe glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) can induce palatal cleft; however, the mechanism involved remains unclear. E-cadherin is an important cell adhesion molecule, and it can significantly affect cell fate and embryonic development. Recent studies have indicated that E-cadherin expression in palatal epithelial cells is suppressed in normal palate fusion. This study aimed to determine whether the change in E-cadherin expression is related to the incidence of cleft palate in DEX-induced mice.
METHODSMice were divided into the experimental group and the control group. Pregnant mice were injected with DEX on E10.0-E12.0, whereas mice in the control group were injected with normal saline. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, immunohistochemistry, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction were employed to evaluate the effect of DEX on fetal mouse palatal processes, particularly the changes in E-cadherin and β-catenin expression levels in the phases of the experimental and control groups.
RESULTSData indicated that the incidence of cleft palate in the DEX group was 43.59% (17/39), whereas that in the control group was only 3.03% (1/33). The results of HE staining showed that the obviously shortened palatal processes could not contact and fuse with one another in the DEX-treated mice model compared with those in the control group. The ectopic expression of E-cadherin in embryonic palatal mesenchymal cells was also analyzed. The expression levels of E-cadherin and β-catenin in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group.
CONCLUSIONThese findings indicated that DEX could induce E-cadherin gene upregulation and ectopic expression, as well as high β-catenin expression, thereby inhibiting the growth of mesenchyme cells and cleft palate.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the clinical features & variation features of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis and to discuss its effective surgical treatment.
METHOD:
Retrospective analysis of 27 cases of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis patients admitted to the hospital from January 2008 to December 2013. The cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis is classified based on the enhanced CT scanning conducted before operation and the preoperative evaluation of clinical characters of patients. The lymphaden ncisional biopsy was conducted on the type I patients with cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis. The lesion resection was performed on the type II and mixed type I + II patients. The regional cervical lymph node dissection was carried on the type III, the type IV and other mixed type patients. The negative pressure drainage ball was placed after operation, and the cavity was flushed with 5% povidone iodine solution. The antituberculosis therapy was performed after wound healing.
RESULT:
The analysis of the clinical features for 27 patients: the incidence rate on the left side, right side, both sides and middle-line is 63.0%, 25.9%, 7.4% and 3.7% respectively. The majority of patients whose lesion involving more than one region account for 62.1%; the patients whose lesion involving one region account for 37.9%. The most common is level V involved lesion (69.0%), then level IV (62.1%), level III (51.7%), level II (34.5%), level I (10.3%) and level VI (3.4%) in order. The analysis of the CT imageology features for 27 patients: the simple type is the majority (65.5%), and the most common is type III (24.1%), then the type I (17.2%), type II (13.8%) and type IV (10.3%) in order. The mixed type is minority (34.5%), but the two mixed is often (31.0%). The three mixed is only located on one side (3.4%). The recurrence never happened on the patients with resection and standard antituberculosis therapy.
CONCLUSION
For the cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis, the suitable surgical treatments shall be selected according to the lesion characteristics & location and CT imaging manifestations presurgical evaluation. The effective way to treat cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis is to conduct negative pressure drainage after operation, to flush the cavity with 5% povidone iodine solution and to perform antituberculosis therapy.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between sonographic features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTMC) and cervical lymph node metastasis.Methods Preoperative sonographic features of 379 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma in 341 patients were retrospectively reviewed,and were divided into two groups,lymph node metastasis and lymph node non-metastasis according to pathology.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze the sonographic features relevant to lymph node metastasis.Results Univariate analysis revealed that unclear border,microcalcification and multifocal PTMC were statistically significant(all P <0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed that microcalcification and multifocal PTMC were statistically significant (both P <0.05).Conclusions Microcalcification and multifocal PTMC are closely relevant to cervical lymph node metastasis.
