Objective To Investigation of serun lipid levels of professional population in Qingpu District. Methods The serun levels of total cholesterol (TC) , triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured in 9 846 professional individuals. Results The prevalence of abnormal serum lipid levels of 9 846 professional individuals was 20.53%. It was 31.97% among male group, 7.86% among female group(P < 0.01). Conclusion The prevalence of abnormal serum lipid level among the professional population in Qingpu, Shanghai was rather high. The prevalence of abnormal serum lipid levels a-mong men was higher than women.

Objective To investigate a mechanism protected radiation-induce injure for radiated guinea pigs'nasal mucosa treated with intranasal corticosteroids (fluticasone nasal cavity spray). Methods 50 health guinea pigs were divided into 2 groups randomly: the irradiated group (control group) with 25 guinea pigs and the administration group after irradiation (test group)with 25 guinea pigs. The nasal part of all guinea pigs were performed irradiation by the 6 MV X-ray with single 5 Gy, one time each week for three weeks. The guinea pigs of test group received intranasai eorticosteroids with one time every day and one spray each side nasal cavity on the second day after three weeks irradiation. Five guinea pigs in each group were saeritieed randomly at 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 4 months after irradiation, and the histopathologie changes were observed under optical microscope and electron microscope. At the same time, blood were drawn from the heart and the concentration of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were measured by ELISA. Results The early nasal mucosa inllammatory reaction of the test group was less than the control group. The coverage rate of cilia of the test group was much than that of the control group (72.9% vs 50.2%) at four months after irradiation. The atrophy of submucosal glandular organ was lessened and they displayed some extent secretory function. The concentration of IL-1 in serum was increased very much in the test group compared with the control group after irradiation and kept higher level in the first two months. After two months, it began to decrease;on four months, it still kept equivalency level with the control group. The concentration of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were reduced all the while. Conclusions The intranasal eortieosteroids with fluticasene nasal cavity spray can reduce radiation-induced injury of guinea pigs' nasal mucosa. The concentration change of IL-I, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum may be one of mechanism protected radiation-induce injure of guinea pigs' nasal mueosa.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical features and genetic characteristics of patients with 3-hydroxy-isobutyryl-CoA hydrolase (HIBCH) gene mutations.

METHODThe clinical data of a patient with novel HIBCH mutations were collected, the related literature was searched from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, National Center for Biotechnology Information and PubMed (up to December 2014) by using search terms" HIBCH", "3-hydroxy-isobutyryl-CoA hydrolase" or "beta-Hydroxyisobutyryl CoA Deacylase Deficiency". The clinical features, neuroimage and treatment of the patients with HIBCH gene mutations were studied.

RESULTThe patient was a girl who was born at term after an uneventful pregnancy to non-consanguineous healthy parents, she was hospitalized at 5 years and 5 months of age because of development delay for 5 years and 5 months and abnormal posture on the left of body for more than 10 days. The family history was unremarkable. Her psychomotor development was significantly delayed. Three times brain MRI between 2. 5 years and 5 years of age revealed bilateral symmetrical lesions in basal ganglia. At the age of 5 years and 5 months, she presented with acute encephalopathy and severe extrapyramidal symptoms preceded by fever. At that time, her brain MRI revealed aggravated lesions in bilateral basal ganglia, new lesions in the midbrain cerebral peduncle and pons, and cerebellar atrophy. The results of biochemical tests were normal. A novel compound heterozygous mutation of HIBCH gene, c. 1027C > G, p. H343D and c. 79-1G > T, splicing, were found in the parent. Further study showed that c. 1027 C > G mutation was inherited from her father and c. 79-1 G > T from her mother. Her symptoms were mitigated after "cocktail" therapy and symptomatic treatment. Repeated brain MRI revealed that the lesion in basal ganglia got better, the lesions in brain stem disappeared. Literature relevant to HIBCH published all around the world was reviewed, no Chinese cases with HIBCH gene mutations had been reported, 6 foreign cases with HIBCH gene mutations were reported. Among them, 5 patients were diagnosed as Leigh-like syndrome, with progressive neurodegenerative course, and symmetrical basal ganglia lesions on brain MRI. Another case was reported in 1982, with developmental delay and various physical malformations without data on his brain MRI. HIBCH gene mutational analysis showed that 4 cases had homozygous mutations, which were c. 950G > A (p. G317E) in two brothers, c. 219 _220insTTGAATAG (p. K73fsX86) and c. 1128_1129insT (p. K377X) respectively. Three of them died before 3 years old. Two cases had compound heterozygous mutations: c. 365A > G (p. Y122C) and IVS2-3C > G (p. R27fsX50); c. 517 + 1G > A and c. 410C > T (p. A137V). They were alive at the time of the report.

CONCLUSIONPatients with HIBCH gene mutation mainly presented as Leigh-like syndrome both in clinical manifestation and in neuroimage. HIBCH gene mutational analysis should be performed on children with Leigh-like syndrome, if the mutations of known genes of Leigh syndrome were negative.

Objective: To study shame of college student through phenomenological method. Method: 147 college students (male 53, female 94, average age 20.2) were involved. Each subject was asked to describe his/her personal shame experience, which was rate on phenomenological dimensions. Experience of Shame Scales (ESS) was used either. Result: The finding from phenomenological rating was in accord with the theory of “self orientation". Students with stronger shame proneness showed tendency to attribute negative events to him/herself. Conclusion: Shame is an acutely painful experience that involves a marked self-focus (self oriented) emotion. Shame proneness tended to have stronger sense of worthlessness and powerlessness and have much more strategies of denying and escaping in hard situations.

In allergic reaction activated eosinophils have been known to accumulate at the site of inflamma tion. Apoptosis of eosinophils may be involved in the inflammation resolution. In this review, we state that the apoptosis of eosinophils play a direct role in allergic reaction. Regulating the apoptosis of eosinophils can effectively alter the development of allergic inflammatory reaction.

Osteoid osteoma was first reported in 1935 by Jaffe. It is a kind of benign bone disease with the limitation of well-defined lesions. It is rarely seen in the periorbital region. The only symptom of the patient was unilateral proptosis of right. The result of MRI examination was cystic masses in the edge of the right orbit. The tumor was complete removed by the nasal endoscopic approach during the surgery. Pathology result was reported as osteoid osteoma. There was no significant complications of diplopia, visual acuity decreased, enophthalmos, cerebrospinal fluid leakage and others.

Objective To study the relationship between chromosome aberration and the pathogenesis,development and prognosis of lung carcinoma. Methods Tissue speciments from 30 cases of lung carcinoma and 10 cases of normal lung tissue were detected using FISH with chromosome 6 probe,respectively. Results All of the 30 cases of lung carcinoma were found chromosome 6 aberration,involved monosomy,trisomy,and even heptasomy.But there was no chromosome 6 aberration found in normal lung tissues.The significant difference was between these two groups. Conclusion Chromosome 6 aberration may occur in the early stage of lung carcinoma,which may closely relate with the process of pathogenesis,development of lung carcinoma.The chromosome 6 aberration may have the significant association with clinical phase and pathological differentiation among the patients.

Neurofibromas are benign nerve sheath tumors that arise from the nonmyelinating Schwann cells. Generally, neurofibromas can be categorized into dermal and plexiform subtypes. The former subtype is usually associated with a lone peripheral nerve in the integumentary system, while plexiform tumors are associated with many nerve bundles and can originate internally. Rarely, the plexiform tumors can undergo malignant transformation. Neurofibromas are usually found in individuals with neurofibromatosis, which is an autosomal dominant disease. On occasion, an isolated neurofibroma can transpire without being associated with neurofibromatosis. Mostly, these solitary tumors tend to occur in the gastrointestinal system, and neurofibromas of the head and neck are not uncommon, but very rarely they have been reported to occur in the temporal fossa. In this report, we describe a case of a solitary neurofibroma arising from the temporal fossa.
