BACKGROUND: Appropriate direction and angle of traction for the vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis(CSA)make significant effect.Selective angiography is recognized as"gold standard"to diagnose the vascular disease.Although magnetic resonance angiography as a non-invasive examination,there exist shortcomings such as a longer time checking,vulnerable to man-made factors,a certain aggressive feature.OBJECTIVE: Through the use of color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI)and transcranial Doppler sonography(TCD)adding the test of turning neck,to analyze the change of blood current parameter before and after the tractions from different directions and angles.METHODS: 240 cases suffering CSA were selected and divided into groups according to anatomy angle of lesion parts(upper cervical segments,lower cervical segments,mixed type)and traction mode,angel(anteversion sitting position 1°-10°,11°-20°,21°-30° groups,posterior extension sitting position 1°-10°,11°-20°,21°-30° groups,neutral position sitting position group).Local massage served as control group.The indexes of vertebral artery of neck part including inner diameter(D)of narrowest location,peak systolic velocity and average velocity of blood were measured by CDFI adding the test of turning neck.The indexes of left vertebral artery,right vertebral artery and basiiar artery including peak velocity(Vp)of period of contraction and mean velocity(Vm)of blood were measured by TCD adding the test of turning neck.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: ①We determined vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis on the base of anatomic site. On the basis of diseased region,we divided cervical syndrome into 3 types.They were superior part(C1-C3),inferior part (C4-C6) and commixture.it offers clinical guidance for traction therapy from spondylous morphous and mechanics.② We determined the gbest angle of traction.The therapeutic efficacy in posterior extension sitting position occupying 11-20～was better in upper hind neck;the therapeutic efficacy in anteversion sitting position occupying 11-20° was better in inferior neck; the therapeutic efficacy in anteversion sitting position occupying 1-10° was better in neutral position sitting position.③ We knew that CDFI and TCD are the convenient,non-invasive,safe and reduplicative methods to guide traction therapy in vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis.

In order to study the effect of magnetic action on the rabbit tests, we fed the rabbit with magnetized water and embedded the small magnetic disc at "guanyuan point". Five months later, the total sperm number as well as the sperm number per 100 mg in epididymal tail of the experimental group significantly increased than those of the control group. The observation by light microscope and scanning electron microscope showed more increased spermatogone, spermatoblast and sperm in the experimental group than in the control. This study indicates that drinking magnetized water and embedding magnet disc at "guanyuan point" have a spermatogenic effect

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a fetus with cerebellar dysplasia and widened lateral ventricles. METHODS: The couple have elected induced abortion after careful counseling. Skin tissue sample from the abortus and peripheral venous blood samples from both parents were collected for the extraction of genomic DNA, which was then subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: Prenatal ultrasonography showed increased nuchal translucency (0.4 cm) and widened lateral ventricles. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed infratentorial brain dysplasia. By DNA sequencing, the fetus was found to carry compound heterozygous variants c.1A>G and c.1564G>A of the RARS2 gene, which were inherited from its father and mother, respectively. Among these, c.1A>G was known to be pathogenic, but the pathogenicity of c.1564G>A was unreported previously. Based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines, the c.1564G>A variant of RARS2 gene was predicted to be likely pathogenic(PM2+PM3+PP3+PP4). CONCLUSION The compound heterozygous variants c.1A>G and c.1564G>A of RARS2 gene contributed to the fetus suffering from pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6, which expanded variant spectrum of RARS2 gene.

Objective:To explore the effect of collaborative teaching on anesthesia nursing.Methods:A total of 50 anesthesiology nursing undergraduates were randomly selected from the Batch 2018 of Harbin Medical University as experimental group and control group respectively. The two groups completed the teaching tasks in the same teaching hours. The control group was taught by traditional teaching method. The experimental group was jointly taught by the teaching team composed of anesthesia nursing teachers, humanistic medicine teachers and ideological and political teachers. After the completion of teaching, the two groups of students were surveyed by questionnaire to evaluate the teaching effect. SPSS 22.0 was used Fisher's exact probability test.Results:The questionnaire results showed that in the evaluation of collaborative teaching, the evaluation of expanded ideological, political and humanistic knowledge (96.00%, 48/50), strengthened the understanding of theoretical knowledge (88.00%, 44/50), improved doctor-patient communication ability (90.00%, 45/50), improved clinical strain ability (94.00%, 47/50), and improved professional identity (86.00%, 43/50) of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The collaborative teaching method in anesthesiology nursing course can not only strengthen students' mastery of clinical skills, but also cultivate lofty sense of mission and professional spirit, strengthen doctors' benevolent belief, improve medical students' comprehensive quality in an all-round way, and promote the development of new medical education.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze FOXC2 gene variant in a family affected with lymphodema-distichiasis syndrome (LDS). METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected for the extraction of DNA and protein. Whole-exome sequencing was carried out to detect variants in the proband. Suspected variant was validated by Sanger sequencing. Western blotting was used to detect changes in protein expression. RESULTS: The proband and his mother were both found to carry a heterozygous nonsense variant c.177C>G (p.Tyr59X) of the FOXC2 gene, which was previously unreported. Down-regulated expression of FOXC2 was detected by Western blotting. Prenatal ultrasonography of the fetus indicated increased nuchal thickness. Amniocentesis was performed at 21+1 weeks of pregnancy, genetic testing suggested that the fetus also carried the c.177C>G variant. CONCLUSION The patients' condition may be attributed to the heterozygous nonsense variant c.177C>G of the FOXC2 gene, which resulted in a significant decrease in FOXC2 expression. Increased nuchal thickness may also be related with decreased FOXC2 expression. Above finding has expanded the variant spectrum of the FOXC2 gene.

OBJECTIVE: To detect pathogenic variants in a pedigree affected with propionic acidemia (PA). METHODS: The proband was subjected to high-throughput next-generation sequencing. Suspected variants were validated by Sanger sequencing of his family members. mRNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes from the proband's father in order to verify the impact of the splicing variant by RT-PCR combined with Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of the missense variant was predicted by using PolyPhen-2, Mutation Taster, SIFT, COBALT and HOPE software. RESULTS: The proband was found to harbor compound heterozygous variants of the PCCB gene, namely c.184-2A>G and c.733G>A (p.G245S), which were respectively inherited from his father and mother. RT-PCR combined with Sanger sequencing confirmed skipping of exon 2 during transcription. Bioinformatic analysis indicated the c.733G>A (p.G245S) variant to be damaging. CONCLUSION The two variants of the PCCB gene probably underlay the disease in this patient. Above findings have enriched the spectrum of PCCB gene variants.

Objective:To explore the effect of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) at the initial visit on the survival of children with newly diagnosed medulloblastoma (MB).Methods:This was a case-control study involving 61 children with newly diagnosed MB at the Department of Pediatrics, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from August 2018 to January 2020 .The blood cell counts, lymphocyte subsets and immunoglobulin in the periphe-ral blood were measured to calculate NLR at the initial visit.Based on the cut-off value determined by receiver opera-ting characteristic (ROC) curve, patients were divided into high NLR group (≥ 2.07, n=21) and low NLR group (<2.07, n=40). The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between 2 groups were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method, followed by Log- rank test.The correlation between NLR at the initial visit with clinical characteristics, lymphocyte subsets and immunoglobulin of children with newly diagnosed MB was analyzed.Differences between groups were compared by the Chi- square test, Mann- Whitney U test and independent sample t test. Results:The survival analysis showed that the relapse rate (38.1% vs.10.0%, χ2=6.879, P=0.016) and mortality rate (19.0% vs.0, χ2=8.154, P=0.011) were significantly higher in high NLR group than those of low NLR group.PFS (12 months vs.19 months, χ2=9.775, P=0.002) and OS (19 months vs.20 months, χ2=8.432, P=0.004) were significantly shorter in high NLR group than those of low NLR group.No significant differences in clinical characteristics were detected between groups (all P>0.05). Compared with low NLR group, the percentage of T lymphocyte[(67.93±6.37)% vs.(73.38±8.08)%, t=2.886, df=48.865, P=0.006], T helper cells (Th)[(30.86±5.53)% vs.(34.29±7.44)%, t=2.037, df=51.981, P=0.047], and T suppressor cells (Ts)[(27.39±5.50)% vs.(30.84±6.58)%, t=2.164, df=47.581, P=0.035] were significantly lower in high NLR group.Spearman correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between NLR and T lymphocyte count ( r=-0.303, P=0.018), and Ts lymphocyte count ( r=-0.260, P=0.043). Conclusions:Children with newly diagnosed MB expressing a high level of NLR had a poor prognosis, which may be associated with T lymphocyte and Ts lymphocyte.
