Objective To investigate the relationship between the insertion/deletion(I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin convcer-(ting) enzyme(ACE) gene and congenital heart disease(CHD) and to quest the predisposing gene of congenital heart disease by analyzing the polymorphism of the ACE gene in patients with CHD.Methods Sixty-eight patients with CHD were served as observing group,sixty-four patients without CHD as control group.We drew DNA of leukocyte from blood by the method of saturation phenol and chloroform and we amplified the ACE gene using the DNA polymerase chain reaction technique.The amplification products were employed electrohoresis in 2% sepharose.the polymorphism of the angiotensin converting enzyme gene was analyzed under ultraviolet lump.Results In the obser-(ving) group,the genotype distribution frequency of the ACE was II in 12(17.65%),DD in 32(47.06%) and ID in 24(35.29%),and in the control group,it was II in 20(31.25%),DD in 10(15.63%) and ID in 34(53.12%).Conclusions The study result clarifies that CHD has close correlation to the polymorphism of the angiotensin converting enzyme gene.The relative risk of DD genotype is higher than that of the others,and DD genotype possibly is the predisposing genotype of CHD D allele perhaps is the susceptibility gene of CHD.

In recent years,China's science research has entered the high-speed development period,which leads to the increase of the investment of science research funds.At the same time,the safety and effectiveness of the science research management and the funds has caused public concern.So the science management of research work including the use of science research funds is of great significance.This paper will analyze the risk of key positions in science research management and put forward corresponding countermeasures,combining the writer's practical experience in hospital.

Objective To establish the quality standards of Zizhu ointment. Methods The TLC was applied to identify Radix arnebiae and borneol of Zizhu ointment, and the content of borneol was determined by gas chromatography. Results The TLC spots were clear, well-separated and easy to identify. The good linear range of borneol reference substance on calibration curve was 0.048 4-1.210 0 μg, and the recovery was 90%-110%, the relative standard deviation was less than 5%. Conclusion The method is simple and feasible, can be used as the quality control method of Zizhu ointment.

ObjectiveTo explore a new simple epicanthoplasty method fit for various types of epicanthus with inconspicuous scar after operation.Methods As the latest studies showed that the anatomical structure of epicanthus is mainly due to the eyelid orbicularis muscle's dislocation at the starting point of the medial canthal tendon,which affects the skin appearance,rather than the traditional view that was merely the excess skin,we released the adhesions between the skin and the inner canthus orbicularis muscle,and corrected the dislocation of orbicularis muscle that was key to the operation,incised along with the line A′→B→A″→ C in the field of interior canthus,separated the subcutaneous fascia tissue,relaxed the subcutaneous fibrous cord,disconnect the orbicularis muscle's attachment point in the inner canthal fold,and then sutured and folded the inner canthal ligament.After sewing up point A′ and point A″,the released skin retracted naturally and formed a new inner canthal contour.ResultsFrom June 2008 to June 2009,57 cases of epicanthus patients accepted this surgery.After operation,the appearance of canthus was nice.Eye fissure got widen,and the scar was not obvious.Also there was a high satisfactory rate.ConclusionsThis method has a broad range of applications.It is suitable for various types of epicanthus correction.

The chemical constituents of Vaccinium bracteatum were studied by means of macroporous resin, ODS column chromatography and preparative HPLC. Eleven compounds were isolated from this plant. By using ESI-MS and NMR, the structures of the eleven compounds were determined as 10-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-6alpha-hydroxyl-dihydromonotropein (1), 10-O-cis-p-coumaroyl -6alpha-hydroxyl-dihydromonotropein (2), vaccinoside (3), 10-O-cis-p-coumaroyl monotropein (4), isolariciresinol-9-O-beta-D-xyloside (5), tectoridin (6), vicenin-3 (7), quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside (8), quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (9), quercetin-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside (10), and quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucuronide (11), respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 are new, and compounds 4, 6 and 7 are isolated from the genus Vaccinium for the first time.

OBJECTIVE Identify the effect of Brandt-Daroff exercises for positional vertigo with atypical positioning nystagmus.METHODS 11 cases of positional vertigo during 2006～2007 with atypical positioning nystagmus when carrying Dix-Hallpike and roll test,the nystagmus had the follwing characters:poly-positions,atypical direction,long lasting(more than 3 mins),no fatigue.After ruling out centrul neural system disorders,the patients were instructed to do Brandt-Daroff exercises 2-3 times/day,and 6-10 times every time.RESULTS After doing the exercises for 3-4 days,the vertigo of all the 11 cases were all relieved.After 1-2 weeks,10 cases were cured,syptom of the other 1 was relieved significantly,and the nystagmus was alleviated.CONCLUSION Cases with atypical positioning nystagmus may present a different kind of BPPV related with the otolith and vestibular nerve disease.Brandt-Daroff exercises was a good method for the atypical positioning nystagmus cases.
