Objective To explore the use of auditory steady-state response (ASSR) for threshold evaluation in neonates. Methods 30 neonates 60 ears) were included in the study who passed distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) screening and 45 neonates (78 ears) who failed DPOAE. The ASSR thresholds were evaluated screening, the significant difference was found between the ASSR thresholds at 250 Hz and the ABR thresholds (P ＜0.05), however the ASSR thresholds at 4 000 Hz and average thresholds were not different from the ABR thresholds (P＞0.05). For the neonates whose DPOAE screening results were abnormal, the ASSR thresholds from 250 to 4 000 Hz and average thresholds were not significant different from the ABR thresholds respectively (P＞0.05). olds were not correlated, but there were significant correlations at 2 000 and 4 000 Hz. For the neonates whose DPOAE screening results were abnormal, the ASSR thresholds and the ABR thresholds were significantly correlated at all the carrier frequencies. Conclusion Reliable and frequency specific results could be obtained by ASSR,so it could be a promising audiometry to evaluate the hearing of neonates.

High resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) has become an indispensable tool for multidisciplinary teams addressing locally advanced rectal cancer.Preoperative HRMRI is accurate in predicting tumor stage and poor prognostic features,such as circumferential resection margin and extramural venous invasion,et al.HRMRI is a precise diagnostic tool to select who may benefit from neo-adjuvant therapy and to avoid over treatment in those patients who can proceed directly to surgery,thus achieving better prognosis and quality of life for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

0.05).②For the neonates passed DPOAE screening,the ASSR thresholds at 250,500 and 1 000 Hz and the ABR thresholds were not correlated,but there were significant correlations at 2 000 and 4 000 Hz.For the neonates whose DPOAE screening results were abnormal,the ASSR thresholds and the ABR thresholds were significantly correlated at all the carrier frequencies.Conclusion Reliable and frequency specific results could be obtained by ASSR,so it could be a promising audiometry to evaluate the hearing of neonates.

DNA repair defects are classified as combined immunodeficiencies with associated or syndromic features,including 8 kinds of diseases with mutation of 9 pathogenic gene (ATM,MRE11,NBS1,BLM,RNF168,DNMT3B,ZBTB24,PMS2,MCM4),which are mainly autosomal recessive and monogenic inheritance.This article mainly reviews the pathogenesis,clinical manifestation,immunophenotype,and diagnosis of these diseases.

Objective To observe the effect of Tiaozhi granule in treatment of hyperlipoproteinemia. Methods Randomized, blind and control trial was applied. Two hundred and forty hyperlipoproteinemia patients were randomly assigned to observation group (120 cases) and control group (120 cases). Observation group was treated with Tiaozhi granule, and control group with Xuezhikang. Two groups were treated for 4 weeks. Results Observation group and control group were improved in blood fats spectrum, TXB2, 6-Keto-PGF1?, and observation group was superior to control group (P

Objective To explore the relationship between Lp (a)level and age,gender in Nanjing area.Methods 8 442 ser-um specimens from examination individuals were collected in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in 2014.Lp (a)was measured by immune turbidimetry method.All the subjects were divided into six groups:15~29,30~44, 45~59,60~69,70~79 and ≥80 years old.SPSS21.0 software was used to carry out statistics.Results The Lp(a)level in female [134±197 mg/L (M±QR,the same below)]was higher than that in male significantly (U =8 355 137,P <0.001). LP (a)levels from people of different sex correlated with the age weakly (r =0.154,P <0.001),and increased with age groups.Lp(a)of six groups in male were 106.5± 151.0,119.0± 170.0,128.0± 179.0,159.0±206.0,145.0±200.0 and 162.0± 190.0 mg/L respectively.The difference was statistically significant between between 1 and 2 groups,2 and 3 groups,3 and 4 groups,theU value were 645 152.5,1 006 572.0,197 595.0 respectively;P all<0.05.The difference was not statistically significant between 4 and 5 groups,5 and 6 groups,3 and 4 groups,theU value were 59 127.0 and 15 959.5 respectively,P >0.05.Lp(a)of six groups in female were 128.0 ± 194.0,128.0 ± 187.0,139.0 ± 207.0,157.0 ± 228.0, 173.5±227.0 and 150.0±201.0 mg/L.The difference was statistically significant between 2 and 3 groups,theU value was 641 147,P =0.006,respectively.The difference was not statistically significant between 1 and 2 groups,3 and 4 groups,4 and 5 groups,5 and 6 groups,theU value were 783 676,92 442.5,16 069.5 and 3 038,respectively;P all>0.05.Conclusion Lp (a)level in healthy population in Nanjing area is related to gender and age groups,it is necessary to establish different reference ranges.

[Objective]To explore the effect of continuous physiological osteogenic stress on the bone healing of canine iliopectineal crest.[Method]Ten adult mixed breed dogs without significant individual difference were made transverse fracture at bilateral iliopectineal crest 1.5 cm above the dome of acetabulum,which were fixed with ATMFS or steel plate respectively. The animals were sacrificed and specimens were procured at 2,4,6,8 and 12 weeks after operation.Samples from the fracture gaps were investigated by histology of HE and Masson staining,image pattern analysis of new bone formation.[Result]The formation of cartilaginous tissue and the maturity of cortical and trabecular bone and collagen fibers of ATMFS sides were earlier than that of steel sides obviously.There was significant difference of the integrated optical density (IOD) of new bone formation between two groups (P

[Objective]To explore the cause and treatment of refractory nonunion of patella combined with handicapped joint function.[Method]Retrospective analysis was given to twenty-four patients diagnosed as patellar nonunion that had been admitted to our hospital from Jan 1992 to Jan 2006.The series included fifteen males and nine females with an average age of 36(range 12-71) years.Initial treatment of the original fractures was nonoperative in 3,cerclage with wiring or suture silk in 11,tension band wiring in 6 and modified tension band wiring in 4.All fractures progressed to symptomatic nonunion at an average of 18 months from original injury(range 5-32).All patients were given open reduction and internal fixation,which consisted of Nickel-Titanium patella concentrator(NT-PC) in 9,NT-PC combined with cannulated compression screws in 6,combined with Kirschner wire in 5 and tension band wiring in 4.[Result]Twenty-four patients were followed up with an average of 35(range 6-168) months.The time of bone union averaged 4.2(range 3-6) months.No bone block displacement,loosening or breakage of internal fixation happened.According to Xu Shaoting' s knee function scores,the results were excellent in 14 cases,good in 6 cases,fair in 3 cases and poor in 1 cases.The excellent and good rate was 83.3%.[Conclusion]Operative reconstruction of smooth joint surface,rigid internal fixation and early functional exercise are effective remedies to refractory nonunion of patella combined with handicapped joint function.
