Optic nerve is composed by the axonal of retinal ganglion cells,there are no Schwann cells around it,and optic nerve belongs to the central nervous,so it cannot regenerate when injuried. In 1985 So and Aguayo have made a success in peripheral nerve retinal transplant,which completely changes the concept that optic nerve injury cannot regenarate. Currently nerve injury recovry has following several methods: use of neurotrophic factor,such as nerve growth factor,ciliary neurotrophic factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor,etc. These factors could promote the regeneration and repair of retinal ganglion cells; treatment of gene correction and gene regulation,by changing the expression of host gene,reduce the effect due to the disease,slow the progress of the disease course or provide protection against the disease; neural stem cell transplantatin and tissue-engineered Schwann cell transplantion. But these treatments are still at the stage of animal experiment,how timely and effctively reduce the apoptosis and increase the survival rate of ganglion cells,even further promote nerve regeneration and recovery,there is still not a perfect method so far.

Objective To sensitize the T-cell in the peripheral blood of the active tuberculosis pa-tients by rCFP-10/ESAT-6 fusion protein, phytohaemaggiutinin(PHA) and physiologic saline, and to detect the IFN-γ to approach the significance of the tuberculosis infection. Methods One hundred and eleven pa-tients were diagnosed by clinical definite, 292 undergraduate students were chosen by X-ray and PPD-selec-fion as volunteers. 3.0 ml of blood was taken from each volunteer, rCFP-IO/ESAT-6, PHA and physiologic saline were added into each 1.0 ml, respectively. The A valule and antibody of IFN-γ were assayed by ELISA. Results Treated with rCFP-10/ESAT-6 group: the A value average of patients group was 1. 3885±0.6236, students group was 0.2944±0.0917. Intergroup t'=16.4259, P<0.05, set>0.42 as cut-off, the positive rate of patients group was 93.58%, students group was 13.07%. Treated with PHA group: the A value average of patients group was 1.2463±0.5541, of which the other was 0.5613±0.064, t'=19.1797,P<0.05. Treated with physiologic saline group:the A value average of patients group was 0.0772±0.0444,of which the other was 0.0290±0.0235,t'=13.9487,P<0.05. All had significant deviation. The antibody positive rate of the patients group was 66.36%, the students group was 7.19%. Conclusion rCFP-10/ESAT-6 as specific antigen, the sensitivity of IFN-γ release assay by ELISA is above 90%. No matter specific or non-specific disposal, the active tuberculosis patients have higher IFN-γ, release level and antibody than the control group.

This study aimed to examine whether ophiopogonin D (OP-D) is capable of protecting cardiomyocytes against DOX-induced injury and the mechanisms involved. H9c2 cells were cultured. MTT assay was used to evaluate cell viability and toxicity. Mito-tracker as fluorescence probe was used to measure ROS content raised from mitochondria. The mRNA and protein expression of ATF6alpha, GRP78 and CHOP were analyzed using real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The results showed that a significant endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) was induced upon exposure of H9c2 cells to DOX as indicated by the increase in the expression of ERS related proteins, which was paralleled with the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decrease in the viability of H9c2 cells. Whereas, DOX-induced ROS accumulation and up-regulation of ERS related proteins were partially abolished by pretreatment with OP-D. Consequently, a DOX-induced ERS was mitigated by application of OP-D. Similarly, DOX-induced decrease in cell viability was partially attenuated by either inhibiting CHOP or pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant. Moreover, cardiac ultrastructural abnormalities seen in mouse receiving DOX injections were obviously ameliorated by pretreatment of OP-D. Taken together, the present study proved that OP-D protects cardiomyocytes against DOX-induced injury, at least in part, through reducing ROS accumulation and alleviating ERS.

In the process of medical dispute handling,violent injury medical incident,medical disturbance,mediation confusion and other disorder phenomena have serious harms,and the lack of faith in rule of law and idea of rule of law,loss of government supervision responsibility,poor access to the rule of law and insufficient solutions and the lagging of related legal construction are the main causes of disorder phenomena.It should start from estab-lishing the awareness in the rule of law and idea of the rule of law,through strictly implementing government re-sponsibility,building diversified disputes resolution approaches and perfecting the relevant legal construction,pro-mote the medical disputes handling return to order and return to the rule of law channels.

Objective:
This study was carried out to analyze the clinical characteristics of pseudohypopara-thyroidism(PHP) type 1b, and to improve the understanding and diagnosis of the disease.
Methods:
Five patients with molecular diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b in our hospital during 2018 were enrolled, their clinical data, biochemical indicators, imaging, and gene detection results were analyzed.
Results:
There were 4 females and 1 male, with low calcium, high phosphorus and high PTH serum concentrations. The onset age span was large and the onset symptoms were different. Family history may not be obvious. There was abnormal methylation of GNAS gene or deletion of exon STX16 in methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) detection while gene sequencing result was negative.
Conclusion
MS-MLPA detection was still needed in patients with suspected PHP but negative gene sequencing result. Different methylation abnormalities and copy number variations might be correlated with the onset symptoms and familial of type 1b PHP.

Objective:To study the distribution and antibiotics resistance of the main pathogens of neonatal purulent meningitis in different regions of China.Methods:A retrospective descriptive clinical epidemiological study was conducted in children with neonatal purulent meningitis which admitted to 18 tertiary hospitals in different regions of China between January 2015 to December 2019. The test results of blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and drug sensitivity test results of the main pathogens were collected. The distributions of pathogenic bacteria in children with neonatal purulent meningitis in preterm and term infants, early and late onset infants, in Zhejiang Province and other regions outside Zhejiang Province, and in Wenzhou region and other regions of Zhejiang Province were analyzed. The chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 210 neonatal purulent meningitis cases were collected. The common pathogens were Escherichia coli ( E. coli)(41.4%(87/210)) and Streptococcus agalactiae ( S. agalactiae)(27.1%(57/210)). The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in preterm infants (77.6%(45/58)) with neonatal purulent meningitis was higher than that in term infants (47.4%(72/152)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=15.54, P=0.001). There were no significant differences in the constituent ratios of E. coli (36.5%(31/85) vs 44.8%(56/125)) and S. agalactiae (24.7%(21/85) vs 28.8%(36/125)) between early onset and late onset cases (both P>0.05). The most common pathogen was E. coli in different regions, with 46.7%(64/137) in Zhejiang Province and 31.5%(23/73) in other regions outside Zhejiang Province. In Zhejiang Province, S. agalactiae was detected in 49 out of 137 cases (35.8%), which was significantly higher than other regions outside Zhejiang Province (11.0%(8/73)). The proportions of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus in other regions outside Zhejiang Province (17.8%(13/73) and 16.4%(12/73)) were both higher than those in Zhejiang Province (2.9%(4/137) and 5.1%(7/137)). The differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=14.82, 12.26 and 7.43, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of Gram-positive bacteria in Wenzhou City (60.8%(31/51)) was higher than that in other regions in Zhejiang Province (38.4%(33/86)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.46, P=0.011). E. coli was sensitive to meropenem (0/45), and 74.4%(32/43) of them were resistant to ampicillin. E. coli had different degrees of resistance to other common cephalosporins, among which, cefotaxime had the highest resistance rate of 41.8%(23/55), followed by ceftriaxone (32.4%(23/71)). S. agalactiae was sensitive to penicillin, vancomycin and linezolid. Conclusions:The composition ratios of pathogenic bacteria of neonatal purulent meningitis are different in different regions of China. The most common pathogen is E. coli, which is sensitive to meropenem, while it has different degrees of resistance to other common cephalosporins, especially to cefotaxime.
