Objective To explore the risk factors for inguinal hernia in children.Methods A 1:1 matched case-control study which based on hospital group data was carried out.201 cases aged 0～6 years with inguinal hernia and controls were enrolled,and their parents were investigated with questionaire.Conditional logistic regression model was used for single factor and multivariate factoranalysistoestimateoddsratios(OR) and the 95% eonfidence interval(95% CI).Results Inguinal hernia was related to ehildren ' s constipation(0R=3.520,95%CI:1.238~10.015),children's cry(OR=6.532,95%CI:2.651~16.091),mother ate pickles(OR=2.529, 95%CI:1.271~5.031) and maternal anemia(OR=6.809,95%CI:2.530～18.322) during the period of one month before pregnancy and the first 3 months of gestation,the children's family history of inguinal hernia(OR=I 1.250,95%CI:4.766～26.553).Conclusion Children's constipation,children's cry,maternal anemia and eating pickles during the period of one month before pregnancy and the first 3 months of gestation,children ' s family history of inguinal hernia are the risk factors for children' s inguinal hernia.

AlM:To investigate the opportunity of the concomitant strabismus operation and the function in the treatment of strabismic amblyopia through analyzing the changes of binocular summation of pattern visual evoked potential ( P-VEP ) before and after the surgery of concomitant strabismus.
METHODS: ln this retrospective study we investigated 67 cases admitted in our hospital. All patients were less than 18a and the postoperation squint angle was less than ± 10△. Patients were divided into three groups according to the strabismus type, age, and amblyopia degree. P-VEP binocular summation response was recorded in all cases, to observe the changes of the binocular summation response of P-VEP before strabismus surgery and 1mo, 3mo after surgery. The P-VEP response of binocular /monocular ( B/M ) ratio was taken as an evaluation index.
RESULTS: B/M value of three groups all improved obviously 1mo after surgery, which the difference showed statistical significant (P<0. 01). 1) After 3mo surgery, B/M value in esotropia group was higher than that in exotropia group (P<0. 05). 2) After 3mo surgery, B/M value in≤6a group was higher than that in >12a group (P<0. 05). 3) After 1mo surgery, B/M value in severe amblyopia group was higher than that in mild group (P<0. 05). After 3mo surgery, B/M value in severe amblyopia group was higher than that in mild group significantly (P<0. 01).
CONCLUSlON: Concomitant strabismus surgery is suggested to be performed before 6 years old when the patients are difficult to improve the vision after amblyopia treatment, especially with the severe amblyopia and esotropia (accommodative esotropia must be excluded). The early operation is better to amblyopia treatment and binocular vision recovery.

Objective To study the transcription and expression of excision repair cross complementing 1(ERCC1) in the peripheral blood and the skin tissue in coal-burning borne endemic arsenism, and to explore the role of arsenism in its pathogenic or carcinogenesis mechanism. Methods According to "Endemic arsenism diagnostic criteria" (WS/T 211-2001), 110 arsenism patients were chosen as case group in Xingren county,Guizhou province and they were divided into 3 groups according to their hnir arsenic: ＜ 2(31 cases),2 ～＜ 4(31 cases),≥4 mg/kg(48 cases), respectively. Another 36 healthy residents about 13 km away from the endemic area were chosen as healthy control group. Under the principle of informed consent, hair samples were collected for arsenic analysis by Ag-DDC and blood samples were collected to determine mRNA expression levels of ERCCI by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. At the same time, skin tissue samples were collected from the voluntary surgical treatment of 62 patients with endemic arsenism as case group which were divided into 3 groups according to their hair arsenic: ＜ 2(16 cases), 2 ～＜ 4(20 cases) and ≥4 mg/kg(26 cases), respectively, and these patients were also divided into general pathological changes (32 cases), precancerous (19 cases) and cancerous groups( 11cases), respectively, according to their skin pathologic diagnosis of skin lesions. Another 13 cases pathologically normal without skin cancer surgery from a certain hospital were chosen as control group. Skin samples were collected to detect the ERCC1 protein by immunohistochemical method. Results The mRNA levels of ERCC1 were 0.7156(0.2158 ～ 1.2405),0.5772(0.0843 ～ 1.1234) and 0.5490(0.1895 ～ 0.8431 ), respectively, among ＜ 2, 2 ～＜ 4and ≥4 mg/kg groups, which were lower than the mRNA levels of ERCC1 in the control group[1.5128(1.0000 ～2.1295)], and the difference was statistically significant(all P ＜ 0.05). The expression rate of ERCC1 protein were 87.5%, 80.0% and 77.0%, respectively, among ＜ 2, 2 ～＜ 4 and ≥4 mg/kg groups. The expression rate of ERCC1 protein in 2 ～＜ 4 and ≥4 mg/kg groups were lower than the rate in the control group(100.0%), and the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05). The expression rate of ERCC1 protein were 84.4%, 79.0%and 72.8%, respectively, among general pathological changes, precancerous and cancerous groups compared with the control group( 100.0% ), and the difference was statistically significant(all P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions Arsenic from coal-burning can lead to abnormal ERCC1 gene transcription and protein expression, which may inhibit DNA repair through influencing the removal of damaged DNA and promoting the incidence of arsenism development and even skin carcinogenesis.

Objective To observe the effects of comprehensive measures of changing grain,selenium supplementation,off-site education and resettlement on prevention of children's Kashin-Beck disease in Aba state.Methods Fifty eight villages in Aba Kashin-Beck disease areas were chosen as intervention points in Aba state Sichuan province from 2007 to 2011.Based on the implementation of prevention and control measures,the villages were divided into off-site education + changing grain + selenium supplementation group and resettlement + off-site education + changing grain + selenium supplementation group,Geletuo town of Seda county,Ganzi state was selected as a control point,and right-hand anteroposterior X-ray examination(including the wrist) was carried out on children aged 6-13 from 2007 to 2011 annually.Clinical and X-ray diagnosis of Kashin-Beck disease was made in accordance with the Diagnostic Criteria of Kaschin-Beck Disease(GB 16003-1995).The effects of prevention and control measures were evaluated by comparing the child X-ray detection rate before and after the implementation of the measures.Results The average X-ray positive detectable rate of children in the intervention points was 2.07％(66/3181),2.72％ (69/2540),1.16％ (35/3017),0.56％ (19/3397) and 0.56％ (24/4273),respectively from 2007 to 2011,with a downward trend (x2trend =66.74,P ＜ 0.01).There was a downward trend in the average X-ray positive detectable rate of children in off-site education + changing grain + selenium supplementation group [1.60％(29/1809),2.63％ (39/1484),1.29％ (25/1941),0.64％ (15/2332),0.42％ (10/2379)] and resettlement + off-site education + changing grain + selenium supplementation group [2.70％ (37/1372),2.84％ (30/1056),0.93％(10/1076),0.38％ (4/1065),0.74％(14/1894)] (x2trend=30.97,35.19,all P ＜ 0.01).The average X-ray positive detectable rate of children in the intervention group was 0 from 2007 to 2010,and was 1.61％ (1/62) in 2011.The difference of X-ray positive detectable rate was not statistically significant in the control group in the 5 years from 2007 to 2011.The difference of children's X-ray positive detectable rate was not statistically significant between control group and intervention group.Conclusions The effect of taking changing grain,selenium supplementation,off-site education and resettlement comprehensive measures to prevent children's Kashin-Beck disease is not significant in those places where the state of Kaschin-Beck disease is not active.

To establish a cell model in vitro that stable expressing HBV by integrating HBA1.3 DNA into cell chromosome. The HBV1.3 full-length DNA was obtained by digested pGEM-HBV1.3 plasmid with HindIII and then was linked with PU-21 vector digested by HindIII. This was resulted in generation of a recombined plasmid named PU21-HBV plasmid. The recombined plasmid was introduced into HepG2 cells by electroporation. The transfected cells were screened with G418. The insertion and expression of HBV were identified by X-gal staining, RT-PCR and Southern blot. The result of PU21-HBV plasmid sequence demonstrated that HBV1.3 DNA was linked correctly with PU-21 vector. A series of positive cell colonies were obtained with G418 screening followed transfecting PU21-HBV plasmid into HepG2 cells. The results of Southern blot and RT-PCR exhibit that HBV1.3 DNA had successfully integrated into the chromosomes of HepG2 cells and had functional HBV gene transcription. HBV1.3 DNA was inserted into HepG2 genome and could stable transcript HBV RNA. The stable HBV expression cell line was constructed successfully. There are LoxP sites in the trapping vector PU21. With the Cre enzyme, interesting genes could be excganged into the LoxP sites. Therefore, double stable expression of interesting gene and HBV cell lines could be generated. The cell lines will be useful for further research some target gene function on replication of HBV.

Objective To investigate the relationship between refractory hypertension and renal hemodynamics in end stage renal diseases (ESRD) patients.Methods ESRD patients were classified into:patients with refractory hypertension (group A) and patients with normal blood pressure(group B).Renal hemodynamic indices were ex- amined by duplex ultrasonography.Fasting serum lipid (TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,Lp(a),ox-LDL) and serum parathyroid hormane (PTH) were determined in all patients.Results Significant differences were found in renal hemodynamic indices such as peak systolic velocity (PSV),mean flow velocity (MV),pulsatility index (PI),renal- aortic ratio (RAR) and in clinical index such as Lp(a) and ox-LDL between the two group.Refractory hyperten- sion patients had lower renal hemodynamic indices and higher Lp(a) and ox-LDL levels than in patients with con- trolled BP.Logistic regression analysis revealed that refractory hypertension was related with PSV,EDV,Pl and RAR,but not relevant with sex,age,dialysis time,hematocrit,BUN,creatinine,TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C, PTH,MV and RI.Conclusion Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis and severe disorder in renal hemodynamics is likely the cause for refractory hypertention in ESRD patients.The rise of serum Lp(a) and ox-LDL might acceler- ate renal artery atherosclerosis.
