1.Progress in genetics of vesicoureteral reflux
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(1):9-13
Vesicoureteral reflux,a most common congenital anomaly of the kidney and urinary tract,is associated with the malformation of ureterovesical junction. It does not cause any specific symptoms or signs un-less it is part of a syndrome or complicated by urinary tract infection. The exact cause is not clear,and genes or environmental factors may result in vesicoureteral reflux. The prevalence of siblings and offspring of reflux pa-tients are higher than normal control groups,so the genetic screening is necessary. This article will review the ge-netics of vesicoureteral reflux and possible interactions.
2.Amplification of Full-length mRNA 5′Ends Based on Template-switching Effects
China Biotechnology 2006;0(12):-
"CapFinder" technology,which can be used to clone the full length of 5′ UTR sequence of mRNA,was described.This technology used the terminal transferase activity of certain MMLV RT variants that added 3-5 residues(predominantly dC) to the 3′end of the first-strand cDNA exhibited when MMLV RT reached the 5′cap structure of mRNA.In the reverse reaction system containing GGG oligo,the terminal transferase activity was harnessed by the GGG oligo whose terminal stretch of dG residues can anneal to the dC-rich cDNA tail and serve as an extended template for RT.After RT switch templates from the mRNA template to the GGG oligo,a complete cDNA copy of the original RNA was synthesized with the additional GGG oligo sequences at the end.5′UTR of mRNA can be amplified with GGG oligo as forward primer and a gene-specific reverse primer.5′UTR of Bt toxin receptor E-Cadherin gene in midgut of cotton bollworm was cloned.

Objective To analyze imaging of gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST),and to compare their imaging features with operational and pathological findings.Methods Clinical,imaging,and pathological data of 20 patients with GIST were collected.Results Imaging findings were endophytic or exophytic tumors with heterogeneous density or signal intensity,corresponding to hemorrhage,necrosis,and cystic changes.Imaging was correct for the location of the lesion in 11 of 16 primary GIST and 4 cases of relapsed tumors.Preoperational CT did not detect mesenteric,peritoneal,and omental metastasis in 5 cases. Hepatic metastases detected at CT (3 cases )were identified by operational findings.Conclusions GIST has some imaging features.CT is a useful tool in detecting and characterizating of lesions rather than detecting mesenteric,peritoneal,and omental metastasis.

AIM: To investigate the change of myopic choroidal neovascularization treated by ranibizumab and evaluate their value in monitoring the effect of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) therapy. ·METHODS: The study enrolled 30 patients ( 30 eyes ) diagnosed with myopic choroidal neovascularization. All affected eyes were treated with intravitreal ranibizumab 0. 05mL ( 10mg/mL ). Best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , non-contact tonometer, ophthalmoscope, fundus fluorescein angiograph ( FFA ) and OCTA were evaluated monthly until 6mo. The changes of BCVA and central macular thickness ( CMT) were compared at 1, 3 and 6mo after treatment. ·RESULTS:All patients received an average of 1. 70±0. 65 injections. BCVA was 0. 96 ± 0. 17 ( LogMAR ) before therapy, and BCVA 1, 3 and 6mo after treatment respectively improved by 0. 23 ± 0. 09, 0. 34 ± 0. 07, 0. 38 ± 0. 11. The differences were significant ( t=5. 461, 8. 191, 8. 894; P<0. 05 ). Mean CMT decreased form 281. 07 ± 13. 72μm to 261. 33 ± 13. 13μm, 243. 47 ± 16. 65μm, 234. 73 ± 17. 52μm respectively 1, 3 and 6mo after treatment, showing significant differences (t=12. 007, 13. 360, 9. 531;P<0. 05). OCTA revealed a progressively smaller vascular lesion and reduction in capillary density. · CONCLUSION: Intravitreal ranibizumab for CNV secondary to pathologic myopia is effective and safe;OCTA is a noninvasive and time-saving new technology, and it also is a promising tool for clinicians to make preliminary diagnosis and assess treatment efficacy in the follow-up visits.

A comparative analysis is made on the background and inherent characteristics of the Hospital Management Evaluation Manual,ISO-9000 Series Standard,and JCI Hospital Evaluation Standard.On this basis,the paper combined the three standard systems into a Hospital Management Evaluation Indicator System and put it into practice,based on hospital realities.Such an innovation and effective operation promotes sustained quality improvement in hospitals,in line with the development trends of internatioual certification.
