Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of altitude sickness combined with urinary retention. Methods 30 cases of altitude sickness combined with urinary retention were treated from April 16th to 26th,2010.They were all male,The average age of them was 24 years (range,19 -38).All were the first time entering the high altitude area (3600 -5000 m) from low altitude area (600 - 1800 m ).The urinary frequency of 25 patients reduced from 8 to 10 times/d to 2 to 4 times/d,the urine output reduced from the 1500- 2400 ml/d to 600- 800 ml/d; the other 5 patients had no urine in 12 -18 h,even had no sense to urinate.26 patients also combined with altitude pulmonary edema and 4 combined with altitude cerebral edema.30 patients had double renal columns enlarged,21 cases had urinary protein ( + ～ ++ ). Results 30 patients were exported urine 300 -600 ml within 10 min,leaded to urine 1800 -2300ml in 12 h,returned to normal voiding after catheter removal in 18 -24 h. After comprehensive treatment such as oxygen,dehydration,diuretic,sedative,antispasmodic and anti-infection,22 cases who with chest tightness,shortness of breath,dyspnea,hemoptysis foam sputum,headache,vomiting and other symptoms of jet-like improved apparently after hospital admission within 1 hour.Their heart rate downed from 90 - 145beats/min to 68 -92 beats/min,respiration from 28 -45 times/min to 18 - 28 times/min,oxygen saturation from 48％ - 84％ to 92％ - 100％ ; 8 cases who with shortness of breath,palpitation and headache improved not obviously.After the antihypertensive treatment,their blood pressure was still high (systolic blood pressure 150 - 180 mm Hg,diastolic blood pressure 90 -110 mm Hg),oxygen saturation between 78％ to 87％,so they were carried to rear area for further treatment.30 cases were all cured no death. Conclusions The high altitude urinary retention is reversible disease,which is often associated with high altitude pulmonary edema,altitude cerebral edema,acute subclinical renal dysfunction and gastrointestinal disorders.They are easily being induced by elements such as gastroenteritis,lung infection,tonsillitis,periodontitis,tiredness and so on; low atmospheric pressure,hypoxia and high altitude is the possible cause; the ratio of missed diagnosis is high; the treatment of oxygen and indwelling catheterization is better; The best method of prevention is to wear pressurized suits and adapt the environment in a ladder-step gradual way.

ObjectiveTo detect five periodontal pathogenic bacteria in coronary atherosclerotic plaques.MethodsAtherosclerotic plaque specimens were obtained from 101 patients who scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft surgery.The bacteria DNA was obtained from coronary atherosclerotic plaques using the chelex-100 method.The extracted DNA were examined by PCR.ResultsWithin the 101 pieces of atherosclerotic plaque samples Porphyromonas gingivalis( Pg,31％ ),Tannerella forsythensis(Tf,42％ ),Prevotella intermedia( Pi,26％ ),Fusobacterium nucleatum( Fn,21％ ),Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans( Aa,23％ ).PCR products were sequenced and were compared with GenBank sequences,the homology was 99％-100％.ConclusionPeriodontitis might affect the development of atherosclerosis and there is a correlation between coronary heart disease and chronic periodontitis.

Objective To study the CT specialities of small lung cancer with the thin-section scan images by general CT machine.Methods Through the 3 mm-scan means in breathless condition,CT specialities of 36 cases of little lung carcinoma were analysed,which were scanned with CT before operation and proved by pathology.Results CT specialities of peripheral small lung cancer had lobular sign(91.6%);coarse spicules sign(77.8%);bubble-like lucency sign(50%);pleural retraction sign(88.9%);honeycomb sign(11.1%);cavity(2.7%);convergence sign of pulmonary vessels(66.7%),the radiative shadiness of pathological pleural side(11.1%).Conclusion The CT specialities are divided into prime and subaltern specialities in the diagnosis of peripheral small lung carinoma.The prime specialities have lobular sign,edge coarse spicules sign,bubble-like lucency sign,pleural retraction sign,convergence sign of pulmonary vessels,and the CT specialities are not agreeable with the small lung carcinoma of different tissue types.

Objective To identify a psoriasis susceptibility locus on chromosome4q in a Chinese Han population.Methods The genome search was performed using12microsatellite spanning chromosome4q in64Chinese Han families(372family members)comprising197affected and175unaffected individuals.GENEHUNTER was used for the parametric and non-parametric linkage analyses.Results(1)Non-paramet-ric linkage analyses:single-point analyses revealed that two adjacent loci on chromosome4q D4S413and D4S1597had evidence of linkage,with NPL-scores of2.04and2.23,and P values of0.021and0.014re-spectively.Multi-point analyses showed a peak NPL-score of3.44and the corresponding P value of0.00056at157.9cM where D4S413located.Moreover,NPL score of more than3was found with a range from155.1cM to172.3cM.(2)Parametric linkage analyses revealed a LOD score of3.70,a heterogeneity LOD score of4.35and a high proportion of linked families(?)of85%under the assumption of a dominant model with dis-ease-allele frequency of0.0062and penetrance of10%at D4S1597.Conclusion Chromosome4q contains genes involved in the susceptibility to psoriasis vulgaris in a Chinese Han population.

Objective To evaluate the clinical characteristics and pathological features of Meckel's diverticulum(MD) in children.Methods 244 MD cases admitted between January 2010 and December 2014 were retropectively analyzed.Results In fifty patients,MD was an incidental finding at laparotomy or laparoscopy for unrelated entities.Among the remaining 194 symptomatic patients,there were 76 patients presenting GI bleeding,forty eight patients were identified with perforated Meckel's diverticulum,thirty six patients suffered from intestinal obstruction.34 patients had MD caused severe complications such as volvulus and intestinal necrosis,diverticular perforation and peritonitis.61 out of 76 GI bleeding patients underwent a 99mTc scan,and positive tracer was found in 42 patients.Among the 19 negative 99mTc scan patients,8 received capsule endoscopy and only 3 patients were suspected of diverticulum.242 patients underwent one stage resection of the diverticulum.Histology revealed ectopic gastric mucosa or ectopic pancreatic tissue in 128 patients.One patient died of volvulus and intestinal necrosis postoperatively,and two suffered from adhesive intestinal obstruction during one to five year's follow up.Conclusions It is necessary to maintain a high suspicion of MD in the pediatric age group with symptoms of abdominal pain,gastrointestinal hemorrhage or intestinal obstruction.Ectopic mucosa assumes the ultimate responsibility for major complications of MD.

Objective To analyses the mutation of connexin30gene in a pedigree with hidrotic ec-todermal dysplasia(HED).Methods Blood samples were obtained from18affected and16normal individ-uals in this family.Mutation scanning was carried out by PCR and direct sequencing.Results A transition,at position on connexin30gene31(G→A),leading to a missense mutation(G11R),was detected in18patients,but was not found in16normal individuals in this HED family and in188unrelated,population-matched control individuals,which indicated that it did not represent common polymorphism.Conclusion A missense mutation(31G→A)in the connexin30gene has been determined in the pedigree with HED,which is probably one of the molecular bases of the pathogenesis of the disease.

Objective To identify the genetic locus for disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis(DSAP).Methods Genome DNA was extracted from the whole blood of the family members of a pedigree of DSAP.Genotyping on chromosome12q that had been identified was performed by using7microsatellite mark-ers to scan the family members of DSAP and analysed with LINKAGE(5.1Version).Results A maximum2-point lod score of5.15with marker D12S79at a recombination fraction(?)=0.00was found.Conclusion Our study supports that DSAP gene localizes at the long arm of chromosome12,which was first reported in the literature.

Objective To detect ED1 gene mutations in the families with X-linked hypohidrotic ec-todermal dysplasia (XLHED). Methods Blood samples were obtained from 2 pedigrees. All 8 exons and flanking intronic boundaries of ED1 gene were amplified with polymerase chain reaction technique and then directly sequenced. Results Two mutations were found in ED1 gene. One was splicing mutation (IVS8+5 del G), the other was missense mutation (A959G). None of the mutations was found in normal individuals of two XLHED families and in 188 unrelated, population-matched control individuals. Conclusion Out of the ED1 gene mutations identified in 2 Chinese XLHED families, IVS8+5del G is a novel mutation.

Objective To investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with motor imagery therapy on the function of upper limbs of stroke survivors.Methods Ninety-four stroke patients were randomized into a routine group (n=31),a motor imagery group (n=31),and a combination group (n =32).All the patients received basic routine rehabilitation therapy,while the routine group accepted traditional occupational therapy,the motor imagery group accepted motor imagery therapy,and the combination group accepted tDCS and motor imagery therapy.The upper limb function of the patients was assessed using Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) of upper extremities,the Hong Kong version of functional test for the hemiplegic upper extremity (FTHUE) and the modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and after 8-week treatment.Results The average FMA of the combination group and motor imagery group were (37.81 ± 12.80) and (31.39± 15.62),respectively,both significantly higher than that of the routine group (27.61± 14.90).The average FTHUE of the combination group and motor imagery group was both significantly higher than that of the routine group.Moreover,the average MBI of the combination group and motor imagery group were (57.78±7.73) and (51.87±9.31),respectively,both significantly higher than that of the routine group (45.19:t:9.07) (P＜0.05 for all).Conclusion tDCS combined with motor imagery therapy can significantly improve the upper limb function of stroke patients,significantly superior to tDCS or motor imagery therapy solely.

Objective: To assess the status of handgrip strength of elderly population from longevity areas in China, and to analyze the correlative factors of handgrip strength of elderly people. Methods: Data from Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) in 2012 was used, from which1 967 participants aged ≥60 years old with valid data of grip strength value from 8 Chinese longevity areas were included. Information on demographics characteristic, life style and health status was collected using questionnaires. The handgrip strength of both left and right hands were measured by grip dynamometer. The different characteristics of group of participants with different grip strength were compared and then analyzed by adopting the Cumulative odds Logistic regression model to identify main factors associated with hand grip strength. Results: The P₅₀ (P₂₅-P₅₀) of hand grip strength of elderly people from the eight longevity areas was 20 (11-28) kg; The hand grip strength of males was 26 (18-34) kg, which was higher than that of females(14 (9-20) kg) (P<0.001). Cumulative odds Logistic regression model showed that the hand grip strength of females was lower than males, whose β value (95%CI) was-1.22 (-1.43--1.00). The elderly who was at a higher age, smoking, drinking or with anemia, had a comparatively lower handgrip strength, whose β (95%CI) value were separately-0.08(-0.09~-0.07),-0.29(-0.56~-0.02),-0.54(-0.80~-0.28), and-0.41(-0.62~-0.20). And the elderly who had a higher boby mass index, drinking tea and outdoor activities, had a comparatively higher handgrip strength, whose β(95%CI) value were separately 0.28 (0.15-0.40), 0.25(0.03-0.47) and 0.51(0.30-0.71). Conclusion Age and gender were the main correlative factors, lifestyles and physical conditions might also be correlative factors of hand grip strength of the elderly from longevity areas in China.
