Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum homocysteine (HCY), folate (FOL) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T, A1298C gene polymorphism in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy (DN).Methods:A total of 161 patients with type 2 diabetes diagnosed in Jiangsu Shengze Hospital between January 2017 and December 2018, including 81 DN (41 males, 40 females; age: (61.5±14.2) years), 80 diabetic mellitus without nephropathy (DM; 42 males, 38 females, age: (57.7±10.8) years), and 77 normal controls (NC; 39 males, 38 females, age: (58.2±16.3) years) were retrospectively analyzed. The serum levels of HCY and FOL were detected by enzyme circulation and electrochemiluminescence respectively. TaqMan genotyping technique was used to detect MTHFR 677T&A1298 gene polymorphism. The serum levels of HCY and FOL were compared with one-way analysis of variance (the least significant difference t test), and the distribution differences of MTHFR gene were analyzed by χ2 test. Results:The difference of HCY level among DN, DM and NC groups was significantly different ((19.76±7.81), (15.62±5.01) and (8.09±3.74) μmol/L; F=81.738, P<0.001). The FOL level among the 3 groups was also significantly different ((12.18±3.01), (13.50±2.71) and (15.43±2.95) μg/L; F=26.978, P<0.001). The frequencies of 677T allele (51.2%, 83/162), 677TT/1298AA genotype (25.9%, 21/81) in DN group were significantly higher than those in DM (33.1%, 53/160; 11.2%, 9/80) and NC (33.8%, 52/154; 10.4%, 8/77) groups ( χ2 values: 10.821, 9.099, both P<0.05), but the 1298C allele frequency was not significantly different among the 3 groups (21.6%(35/162, DN) vs 16.9%(27/160, DM) vs 18.2%(28/154, NC); χ2=1.269, P>0.05). The levels of HCY and FOL in individuals with 677TT/1298AA genotype were significantly higher than those in individuals with other genotypes ( F values: 12.955, 15.504, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The abnormal metabolism of HCY and FOL caused by MTHFR C677T&A1298C gene polymorphism may be the genetic risk factor of DN.

Objective To observe the pronunciation characteristics of vowels' tone in prelingual hearing-impaired children accepted cochlear implant (CI). Methods 8 prelingual hearing-impaired children accepted CI aged 3~4 years (group CI) and 8 normal-hearing children (group NH) with the same age were asked to pronounce the vowels of /a/, /o/, /e/, /i/, /u/, and /ü/ in four tones with the direction of speech training teacher. The sounds were recorded and analyzed with Praat software extract Formants (F1, F2) and duration of the sounds. Results The error of vowels in four tones was more in group CI than in group NH, but difficult level was almost the same between groups. There was significant difference in the F1 of /e/, F2 of /i/ and /u/ in tone 2, F2 of /e/ and duration of /o/, /e/, and /ü/ in tone 3 between groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Pronouncing the four tones of vowels is more difficult for the hearing-impaired children. For vowels articulation training,it is important to focus on the mouth and breath training.

AIM:To explore the involvement of oxidative stress and apoptosis in the pathogenesis of diabetic cataract induced by Streptozotocin ( STZ) and the interventions of puerarin in order to supply references for clinical treatment.
METHODS:Male SD rats were divided into four groups randomly, control group, diabetic group, apocynin group and puerarin group. The diabetic group were replicated by single injection of STZ (65mg/kg, ip). The expression of p22, p47, p67, Bax/Bcl2, Caspase 3 and P53 proteins were detected by Western Blotting.
RESULTS:The diabetic rats were replicated successfully and the expression of Bcl2 was downregulated while the expression of p22, p47, p67, Bax, Caspase 3 and P53 were upregulated in diabetic group with a significant statistical differences when compared with control group (P<0. 05). Apocynin and prerarin can reverse the abnormal expression of the aforementioned proteins dramatically (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: NADPH oxidase mediated oxidative stress and P53, Bax/Bcl2 mediated apoptosis are involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic cataract and puerarin can alleviate cataract greatly by inhibiting the aforementioned signal pathway.

Objective To investigate the schistosomiasis japonica infection and preventive knowledge of immigration popula-tion in Jinshan District,Shanghai so as to provide the evidence for improving the control work. Methods The immigration popula-tion from schistosomiasis endemic provinces and local people were screened by serum IHA screening for schistosome infection, and the positives were further examined by Kato-Katz technique and the miracidium hatching method. The schistosomiasis preven-tive knowledge and behaviors were investigated by questionnaires. Results A total of 579 were investigated with 348 immigration people and 231 local people,and among them,the male accounted for 72.0%and female accounted for 28.0%. In the immigration population,the main age group was 20-29(56.0%),and 56.6%of the immigration had an education level at senior middle school or higher. The most proportion of immigration was from Anhui Province(36.2%). There were 4 IHA positive persons(1.15%)in the immigration,and 1 was positive in the stool test,and the schistosome infection rate was 0.29%. There were no positives in the local people. The schistosomiasis preventive knowledge of the immigration was generally poor,and some people’s behaviors of see doctor and medication were incorrect. Conclusion There are schistosome infected persons among the immigration population from schistosomiasis endemic provinces,and their schistosomiasis prevention knowledge was poor,thus there is a schistosomiasistransmission risk.
