With patch clamp method,the effects of taurine (Tau) on slow inward calcium current (Ica) were investigated in single ventricular cells of guinea pigs. Tau decreased Ica in a dose- and voltage-dependent mode,but had little effect on reversal potential. Tau 0. 1 umol - L-1 decreased Ica by 17% and its maximal effective concentration was near 100 umol -L '. The initial block of Tau had already reached by 47% after a rest out of stimulation. Tau facilitated the reduction of lea through increasing clamp pulse frequency. The obtained results suggested that it decreased Ica in a use-dependent manner.

Objective To observe the effect of shock lymph drainage on multiple organ injury of rats with traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS) and discuss the relating mechanism. Methods Male Wistar rats were divided into control group, lymph drainage group and lymph return group. The THS model was established in lymph drainage group and lymph return group, when the shock mesenteric lymph was drained in lymph drainage group. The change of the mean arterial pressure ( MAP), the biochemical indices of liver, kidney, myocardium and acid-base, the morphology, ATP contents and ATPase activities of lung, kidney, liver and myocardium were observed. Results The MAP at multiple time points after 80 minutes of infusion, the ATP contents and ATPase activities of multiple organs in lymph drainage group were higher than those in lymph return group. Multiple biochemical indices in lymph drainage group were superior to those in lymph return group, with statistical difference. The inflammation, congestion, degeneration and necrosis were found in organs of lymph return group, but only mild lesions could be seen in lymph drainage group. Conclusions The shock lymph drainage can alleviate multiple organ injury of THS rats, mechanism of which is correlated with improvement of the energy metabolism and maintenance of MAP and acid-base status.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis of a Chinese pedigree affected with Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome.
METHODS:
Whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were carried out to detect potential pathogenic variants associated with the syndrome. The function of candidate variant was verified by Western blotting.
RESULTS:
A novel homozygous variant, c.1222delG of the DYM gene was detected in the two affected siblings, for which both parents were heterozygous carriers. The variant has caused replacement of Asp by Met at amino acid 408 and generate a premature stop codon p.Asp408Metfs*10. Western blotting confirmed that the variant can result in degradation of the mutant DYM protein, suggesting that it is a loss of function variant.
CONCLUSION
The homozygous c.1222delG frameshift variant of the DYM probably underlay the Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome in the two affected siblings. Above findings has enabled clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling for the family.

Objective:To explore the effect of health education management based on "People-Environment-Occupation" (PEO) model in epilepsy patients and their families.Methods:From October 2018 to December 2019, 84 pairs of epilepsy patients and their families admitted to the Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University were selected by convenience sampling as the research object. According to the admission time, the patients admitted from October 2018 to March 2019 were set as the control group, with a total of 42 pairs. A total of 42 pairs from April to December 2019 were set up as the observation group. The control group was given routine in-hospital health education, group occupational therapy and regular follow-up after discharge. On the basis of the above, the observation group carried out health education management based on PEO model for their families. The scores of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) , Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) , Quality of Life in Epilepsy-31 (QOLIE-31) were compared between the two groups before intervention and 2, 6, and 10 weeks after discharge, and the scores of Epilepsy Knowledge Questionnaire before intervention and 10 weeks after discharge were compared.Results:The HAMA scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the QOLIE-31 score was higher than that of the control group, the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Ten weeks after discharge, the epilepsy knowledge scores and total scores of the observation group, such as disease and medication knowledge, safety and first aid, psychological nursing, life coping and social participation, were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.01) . Conclusions:Health education management based on PEO model can improve the disease knowledge of epilepsy patients and their families, patients' anxiety and depression, and their quality of life.
