Primary immunodeficiency disease (PID) is a heterogeneous group of congenital disorders of the immune system.The impaired immune response is caused by defect of immune active cells and moleculars,which results in increased susceptibility to pathogens.Recurrent infection is the predominant presenting complaint for patients with PID.Early diagnosis,immunoglobulin replacement therapy,antimicrobial treatment,haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and gene therapy,genetic conselling and prenatal diagnosis will help to prevent and control infections in patients with PID.In addition,we should strengthen the education of paediatricians,improve awareness about PID and collaboration across different centers to advance the diagnosis and management of PID in China and save the life of patients at the maximum limit.

Objective:To classify the types of radiographic feature of central salivary gland type malignant tumors of the jaws(CSMTJ) with studying the clinical data,radiographic characteristics and pathological classifications,and to help the diagnose CSMTJ correctly and effectively in future. Methods:The clinical,radiological and pathological features of 62 cases of CSMTJ were studied and summarized. Among these cases,52 cases were collected from the medical records of patients of the internal databank according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Histological Classification of Salivary Gland Tumors standard and 10 cases of CSMTJ were from Guangdong Provincial Stomatological Hospital. Results:The maxilla to mandible ratio was 1∶1.7,Among CSMTJ cases,central mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the jaws (CMCJ) was the most common pathological type and the second was central adenoid cystic carcinoma of the jaws(CACCJ). 62 cases of CSMTJ could be classified into four types:Unicystic type,Multicystic type,"Flame shape" type and Osteolytic type. Conclusion:The radiographic presentation of CSMTJ was very complicated and its classification was connected with tumor malignant degree. The classification was very helpful to determine the treatment methods and the prognosis of the CSMTJ.

Objective To explore the value of video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy in the treatment of myasthenia gravis. Methods A prospective randomized controlled study,fifty-four patients who were preoperatively confirmed to be MG from 2005 to 2008 were divided into VATS group (27 cases) and conventional thoracotomy group (27 cases). Thymectomy and dissection of all fatty tissue anterior to the pericardium were performed in both the groups. The operation time,blood loss,chest drainage time,hospital stay and outcomes of the two groups were recorded and compared. Results In the VATS group,one patient was converted to open surgery because of electrocoagulation injury and brachiocephalic vein. Compared with the conventional group,the patients in the VATS group had fewer blood loss [(43.0?5.2) ml vs (117.6?17.2) ml,t=-21.196,P=0.000],shorter operation and postoperative drainage time [(89.4?15.0) min vs (98.4?12.5) min,t=-2.377,P=0.021;and (2.2?1.6) d vs (4.2?1.3) d,t=-5.003,P=0.000,respectively],and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(7.0?1.2) d vs (11.0?2.5) d,t=-7.379,P=0.000].In the conventional group,3 patients developed MG crisis and 9 had lung infection,while none of the VATS group developed the crisis,and 2 showed lung infection (P=0.236; ?2=5.295,P=0.021). The 54 patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months with a mean of 18.6 months,during the period,the MG symptoms were improved in 80.8%(21/26)of the patients in VATS group and 85.2% (23/27)in conventional group (Z=-0.126,P=0.899). Conclusions Extended thymectomy by VATS is safe and feasible with the advantage of less invasion,less surgical trauma and pain,lower rate of complication,and good curative effect.

The hepatic portal system is a unique circulatory system that connects two systems of capillary beds ; one in the wall of the small intestine and spleen and the second in the sinusoidal area of the liver.Therefore,alterations in vasoreactivity (vasodilation and vasoconstriction) play a critical role in the pathophysiology of portal hypertension (PHT).The RhoA/ ROCK pathway exerts an important role in the Ca2+-independent mechanism in vascular smooth muscle (VSM).This mechanism not only modulates the constriction of intrahepatic small vessels and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) but also effects the hyperdynamic circulation due to vascular hyporesponsiveness.Understanding the detailed mechanism and role of the RhoA/ROCK signal pathway in portal hypertension could be of great utility in providing a new target for portal hypertension therapy.
