Objective: To develop a molecular screening test for genetic defects on hearing loss related genes has significant impacts on early identification of hereditary hearing loss and genetic susceptibility to aminoglycoside ototoxicity. Early identification of pre-lingual hearing loss is very important for patient's language development, academic achievement, and social skill. Two common mutations, the 235delC in GJB2 gene and the mutation A1555G in mitochondrial DNA, are included in the newly developed screening panel for Chinese population. Methods: A molecular genetic assay, based on fluorescent labeled multiplex PCR and automatic DNA fragment analyzing techniques, was developed to detect both mutations simultaneously. Results: This assay was able to detect both mutations from patient's samples, and pooled DNA tests, as well as suitable to detect mutation from the DNA extracted from dried blood spot and buccal swab. Conclusion: This assay could be a useful tool for newborn screening and carrier screening for the hereditary hearing loss for the Chinese population.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of rocuronium on limb ischemia-reperfusion injury in the patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.Methods:Ninety patients of both sexes, aged 50-80 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, with body mass index<30 kg/cm 2, scheduled for elective unilateral knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia combined with femoral nerve block from January 2019 to October 2019, were divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: normal saline group (group S), rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg group (group RL) and rocuronium 1.2 mg/kg group (group RH). Anesthesia was induced by intravenous injection of midazolam, etomidate, sufentanil and rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg (group RL) or 1.2 mg/kg (group RH) or equal volume of normal saline (group S). Mechanical ventilation was performed after placement of laryngeal mask to maintain P ETCO 2 35-45 mmHg.Femoral nerve block was performed under ultrasound guidance.Anesthesia was maintained by inhaling 1% sevoflurane and intravenous infusion of propofol and remifentanil to maintain entropy index at 40-60 during operation.Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was performed with sufentanil after surgery to maintain visual analogue scale score ≤ 4 points.When visual analogue scale score was > 4, flurbiprofen axetil 100 mg was intravenously injected.The vastus medialis muscle at the edge of the incision was obtained at 60 min after inflation to determine the expression of dystrophin by immunohistochemistry.Arterial blood samples were collected immediately after inflation of the tourniquet, at 60 min after inflation, and at 5 and 30 min after deflation for determination of the serum malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations by the thiobarbituric acid method.The effective pressing times of the analgesic pump and consumption of sufentanil and flurbiprofen axetil were recorded within 48 h after operation.The occurrence of responses to tourniquet and residual muscle relaxation during recovery from anesthesia, the first postoperative off-bed time and postoperative length of hospital stay were recorded.The thigh girth was measured before operation and at 24 and 48 h after operation, and the difference after and before operation was calculated.The range of motion of knees of the operated limb and tourniquet-related complications in the early postoperative period (3 days) and in the long-term postoperative period (3 months) were recorded. Results:Compared with group S, the expression of dystrophin in skeletal muscle was significantly up-regulated, the concentration of serum MDA was decreased at 30 min after deflation, and the difference in thigh girth at 24 and 48 h after operation was decreased in group RH, and the range of motion of knees was significantly increased at 3 days and 3 months after operation, and the first postoperative off-bed time was shortened in group RH and group RL ( P<0.05). Compared with group RL, the range of motion of knees was significantly increased at 3 days and 3 months after operation, and the first postoperative off-bed time was shortened in group RH ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of responses to tourniquet, postoperative length of hospital stay, effective pressing times of the analgesic pump, postoperative consumption of sufentanil and flurbiprofen axetil, and the incidence of tourniquet-related complications in the early and long-term postoperative periods among the three groups ( P>0.05). No residual muscle relaxation was found during recovery from anesthesia in three groups. Conclusion:Rocuronium 1.2 mg/kg can reduce limb ischemia-reperfusion injury in the patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of atomoxetine combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) on children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods:Totally 104 children diagnosed with ADHD were randomly divided into atomoxetine group ( n=34), CBT group ( n=35) and atomoxetine combined with CBT group ( n=35). After 12 weeks of treatment, questionnaire-children with difficulties (QCD), Swanson child behavior checklist (SNAP-Ⅳ) and Conners parents rating scales (CPRS) were used to evaluate the efficacy and recorded the adverse reactions during the treatment. SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Paired sample t-test was used to compare the scores of the same group before and after treatment, and one-way ANOVA was used to compare the difference between the three groups after treatment. Results:(1)Compared with baseline, the score of QCD increased(32.96±3.01, 43.00±2.22) ( t=-13.35, P<0.01) , while the attention deficit(15.67±3.46, 6.07±1.73), hyperactivity/impulse(13.59±3.41, 7.30±2.43), opposition disobedience(9.85±3.98, 2.59±2.17) and total score(39.11±6.65, 16.59±3.91) of SNAP-Ⅳ decreased in atomoxetine combined with CBT group after treatment ( t=14.96, 10.87, 11.77, 21.49, all P<0.01). The factor scores of behavior problems(0.81±0.30, 0.70±0.26), learning problems(1.58±0.31, 0.32±0.13), psychosomatic disorders(0.22±0.25, 0.16±0.20), impulse hyperactivity(1.27±0.37, 0.71±0.18), anxiety(0.32±0.26, 0.23±0.17) and hyperactivity index(1.19±0.40, 0.79±0.22) of CPRS also decreased ( t=2.71, 21.23, 2.41, 8.87, 2.96, 6.19, all P<0.05) in atomoxetine combined with CBT group after treatment. (2) After treatment, the changes of QCD scores, attention deficit dimension in SNAP-Ⅳ scale, learning problems and impulse hyperactivity dimension in CPRS scale of the three groups before and after treatment were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (3) Post LSD comparison showed that the change in CBT group was significantly lower than that in atomoxetine group and atomoxetine combined CBT group in QCD score(both P<0.05). In the dimension of attention deficit of SNAP-Ⅳ, the difference in CBT group was significantly lower than that in atomoxetine combined CBT group ( P<0.01). In the learning problems and impulse hyperactivity dimensions of CPRS, the changes of atomoxetine combined with CBT group were significantly higher than those of atomoxetine group and CBT group (all P<0.01). Conclusion:Atomoxetine combined with CBT has better curative effect than atomoxetine or CBT alone in patients with ADHD. It can effectively improve the core symptoms and daily life function of ADHD children, and has high safety.
