1.Progress of the renal chloride channel CLC-5 and Dent disease
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;42(1):73-75
Chloride channel CLC-5 is a voltage-dependent gated channel.The voltage-gated characteristic of CLC-5 is not only regulated by glutamate E211 and E268,but also by lysine K210.In proximal renal tubule,CLC-5 can interact with megalin protein,and adjust the reabsorption of albumin together.CLC-5 can also affect the activities of the sodium hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 in proximal renal tubule.CLCN5 gene mutations can lead to Dent disease,and recent studies have found some new pathogenic mutants of CLC-5,VS05G,L266V and G446A,and so on.CLCN5 can also mutate together with ORCL1,and then result in Dent disease.However,the regulatory mechanism of the voltage-gated channel,physiological functions and molecular mechanism,and Dent disease are still not entirely clear.In this paper,we will review these problems of CLC-5.

Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2019;35(12):1775-1779
Objective: To explore the impact of CT image reconstruction methods on the performance of pulmonary nodule detection algorithm based on deep learning (DL). Methods: Lung CT images of 298 cases were labeled by 2 attending doctors, and the inconsistent results between them were checked by a senior doctor. The final labels were regarded as the gold standards of this experiment. Pulmonary nodule detection algorithm was constructed based on a deep neural network and tested on these 298 cases. Comparing the output of the detection algorithm with the doctor's labeling, the sensitivity, accuracy and F1-score of the algorithm were calculated, especially those under different CT image reconstruction methods. Afterwards, the false-positive detections of the algorithm were checked, and the detailed distribution of these false positives was presented. Diagnostic effects of the model were analyzed among different CT image reconstruction algorithms. Results: The sensitivity of pulmonary nodule detection algorithm under mediastinum, lung, and bone CT reconstruction methods was 92.33% (313/339), 86.97% (287/330) and 92.73% (319/344), while the precision was 23.55% (313/1 329), 37.91% (287/757) and 27.84% (319/1 146), respectively. Taken sensitivity and precision into account, F1-socre of these 3 reconstruction methods was 0.38, 0.53 and 0.43, respectively (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Pulmonary nodule detection algorithm based on DL achieves excellent performance under pulmonary window reconstruction, mediastinum window reconstruction and bone window reconstruction, which can help doctors to improve work efficiency and diagnose quality.

Objective? To investigate the impact of establishing a follow-up center on the perception of vulnerability and anxiety in the parents of children of congenital heart disease (CHD) undergoing interventional therapy. Methods? A total of 80 parents of children with CHD undergoing interventional therapy in the Cardiology Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from September 2017 to December 2017 were selected as study subjects by purposive sampling method. The parents of the children admitted to hospital from September to October in 2017 were the control group, while the parents of children in the period from November to December in 2017 were the experimental group. The control group were given general discharge guidance, and the intervention group was included in the Follow-up Center for intervention. Parent Perception of Vulnerability Scale and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were applied to evaluate the intervention effects. Results? There was no statistical significance in the difference in scores of Parent Perception of Vulnerability Scale between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). The scores of Parent Perception of Vulnerability Scale at the time of discharge and 3 months after intervention of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.01). There was no statistical significance in the difference in the scores of SAS between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). At the time of discharge and 3 months after intervention, the score of SAS was lower in the experimental group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions? Setting up the Follow-up Center for parents of children can effectively reduce the perceived vulnerability and anxiety of them, and it is suggested that they should be further popularized and applied clinically.

Objective To study the dynamic changes of blood carnitine and acylcarnitine levels in preterm infants during parenteral and enteral nutritional support,and the relationship between carnitine status and nutritional patterns,gestational age (GA) and weight gain.Method From January 2017 to December 2017,preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) within 24 hours after birth and received parenteral nutrition support were enrolled.They were assigned into 4 groups according to their GA:ultra-premature infants (< 28 weeks),very premature infants (28 ~ 31 weeks),mid premature infants (32 ~ 33 weeks) and late premature infants (34 ~ 36 weeks).They were assigned into 2 groups according to their average daily weight gain:< 15 g/(kg · d) group and ≥15 g/(kg · d) group.Blood samples were collected and examined as dried-blood spot specimens on filter paper for four times:after born,given total parenteral nutrition,given enteral combined parenteral nutrition,and given total parenteral nutrition.The concentrations of free carnitine and acylcarnitine were detected using liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).SPSS 21.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis.Result A total of 124 preterm infants and 410 samples were collected.As the infants experienced gradual transition from parenteral nutrition to enteral nutrition,the free carnitine and most acylcarnitines levels were decreasing (C3,C4,C10DC,C12,C12∶1,C12DC,C14,C16,C16∶ 1,C16-OH and C18,P<0.05).Preterm infants with small GA showed higher levels of C4-OH (P =0.001) and C5 (P =0.001).Preterm infants with lower velocity of weight gain showed lower concentration of C5-OH (P =0.006) in the early postnatal period.Conclusion Free carnitine and acylcarnitine in preterm infants during the early postnatal period are decreasing with the transition from parenteral nutrition to enteral nutrition,indicating that the exogenous nutrition is relatively insufficient.C4-OH and C5 levels are negatively correlated with GA.In addition,lower level of C5-OH may indicate slow weight gain during the early postnatal period.

Objective:To explore the predictive effect of acute stress disorder (ASD) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on subsequent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) , and to clarify the potential mediating role and pathway of type D personality and cognitive evaluation in the evolution of ASD to PTSD in AMI patients.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, patients with newly diagnosed AMI in Department of Cardiology of the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from September to December 2019 were selected as the research subjects. General Information Questionnaire, Acute Stress Disorder Scale (ASDS) , Type D Personality Scale-14 (DS-14) and Cognitive Appraisal of Health Scale (CAHS) were used for survey 1 to 2 days after hospitalization.One month after discharge from the hospital, a follow-up call was used to complete Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) .Results:A total of 494 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 457 valid questionnaires were returned.The incidence of ASD in AMI patients was 31.29% (143/457) , and the ASDS score was (40.28±12.74) . The incidence of PTSD was 33.5% (153/457) , and the PCL-C score was (34.49±14.00) .The moderated mediating effect analysis showed that ASD could directly and positively predict PTSD ( P<0.01) , and injury cognition and irrelevant cognition played a mediating role in the transition from ASD to PTSD ( P<0.01) .At the same time, type D personality can influence the process of ASD to PTSD transformation by regulating injury cognition and irrelevant cognition ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The occurrence of ASD in AMI patients can effectively predict the occurrence of PTSD one month after discharge.At the same time, the cognitive evaluation of type D personality regulation can play an important mediating role in the process of ASD transforming into PTSD.
