OBJECTIVETo assess the value of pre-gestational deafness-related mutation screening for the prevention and intervention of congenital deafness.

METHODSIn this study, 2168 couples with normal hearing were screened for common mutations associated with congenital deafness using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The mutations have included GJB2 c.235delC and c.299_300delAT, SLC26A4 c.2168A>G and c.IVS7-2A>G, and mtDNA 12SrRNA c.1494C>T and c.1555A>G. For couples who have both carried heterozygous mutations of the same gene, genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis were provided.

RESULTSAmong of the 4 336 individuals, 178 (4.06%) were found to carry a mutation. Mutation rate for c.235delC and c.299_300delAT of GJB2 gene, c.IVS7-2 A>G and c.2168 A>G of SLC26A4 gene, c.1555 A>G and c.1494 C>T of DNA 12S rRNA gene were 0.91%, 0.20%, 0.68%, 0.11%, 0.1% and 0.01%, respectively. For six couples who have both carried mutations of the same gene, all fetuses showed a normal karyotype, while DNA sequencing indicated that two fetuses have carried homozygous c.235delC mutation of the GJB2 gene, one carried a heterozygous c.235delC mutation of the GJB2 gene, one carried heterozygous mutation of GJB2 gene (c.299_300delAT), and two have carried a heterozygous mutation of c.IVS7-2A>G of the SLC26A4 gene.

CONCLUSIONPre-gestational screening for deafness gene mutation can facilitate avoidance the birth of affected children and has a great clinical value for the prevention and intervention of birth defect.

Objective This epidemiologic survey aims to investigate the changes in prevalence and risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)in the elderly people who are living within Pudong San-lin region.Methods We retrospectively analyzed annual physical check-up data in 2012 and 2014 for elderly people living in this region (aged≥70years).Demographic variables including age,sex,blood pressure,body mass index (BMI)were recorded.Serum fasting glucose level was determined and liver and kidney function were assessed.Abdominal echo-Doppler examination was performed.NAFLD was diagnosed according to Chinese guideline on management of NAFLD (revised version).Results Among 2127 sub-jects with physical check-up in 2012,the occurrence rate of NAFLD was 27.46% (23.02% and 31.02%for men and women,respectively).Type 2 diabetes was detected in 224 subjects and 33.93% of them de-veloped NAFLD (26.73% and 39.84% for males and females,respectively).Among 1771 subjects who received physical check-up in 2014,the occurrence rate of NAFLD increased up to 32.29%,with NAFLD rate being 29.97% and 34.19% for men and women,respectively.In 185 subjects with type 2 diabetes, 49.19% developed NAFLD (47.56% and 50.49% for men and women,respectively).Thus,compared with the findings during physical check-up in 2012,the occurrence rate of NAFLD was significantly in-creased during physical check-up in 2014 for both male and female subjects of overall and diabetic popula-tions (P <0.05 for all comparisons).Further analysis showed that for 185 diabetic patients who had phys-ical check-up in 2014,systolic and diastolic blood pressures,BMI,and serum levels of fasting glucose lev-el,alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,total cholesterol,and triglyceride were significant-ly higher in patients with NAFLD than in those without NAFLD (all P <0.05).Multivariate regression a-nalysis revealed that BMI,total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were independent risk factors for occur-rence of NAFLD in diabetic patients.Conclusions This epidemiologic survey demonstrates a significant increase in the occurrence rate of NAFLD for the elderly people (especially with type 2 diabetes).Hyper-lipidemia,obesity,and hypertension are major risk factors for NAFLD in diabetic patients.

Objective To investigate iodine nutrition status in healthy adults in Xinjiang Urumqi city and their relationship to ethnicity, gender and age. Method A cross-sectional survey was performed in 2 100 residents of Xinjiang Urumqi 2 communities in May 2013, of which 1 835 healthy adults aged 18-84 years, mean age 46.3 ± 14.2 years were enrolled. Urine iodine with arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry and salt iodine and water iodine of the residents were measured. Result The water iodine content was 3.14 μg/L, salt iodine was 27.75 mg/kg, 1 835 urine samples were collected, the urinary iodine median(MUI) was133.4 μg/L, iodine deficiency accounted for 32.37% (595 cases), iodine sufficient 42.94% (788 cases), iodine super-sufficient 14.44%(265 cases), iodine excess 10.19%(187 cases). The urine iodine level in Han ethnic group was higher than those in Uygur adults, no significant difference was observed between men and women (P>0.05). Urinary iodine levels among different age groups had no statistical difference, but in the older groups the level was lower than that in young or middle age adults. The urinary iodine level decreased gradually with the age increasing. Conclusion There was a sufficient pattern of iodine nutrition levels in healthy adults in Xinjiang Urumqi; there was a correlation between the level of iodine nutrition and the ethnicity but not with gender;iodine nutrition level in older age group was lower than those in younger age groups. Monitoring the urinary iodine continually and decreasing iodine intake may be necessary for part of iodine excess population.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of aggregation and activation of neu-trophils(polymorphonuclear neutrophils,PMN)in mice with chlamydial pneumonitis. Methods C57BL/ 6 mice were inoculated intranasally with 3×103 inclusion-forming units(IFU)of Chlamydia muridarum(Cm) to induce the murine model of chlamydial pneumonitis. Samples of lung tissues collected at different time points after infection were stained by hematoxylin and eosin for histopathological assessment of inflammation. The levels of myelo-peroxidase(MPO)were detected for the evaluation of PMN aggregation. The mononu-clear cells were isolated from lung tissues. The inflammatory cells were counted with Giemsaˊs staining. CD11b+Gr1+ cell population and CD11b expression in lung mononuclear cells were analyzed by flow cytome-try. The expression of chemokines(MIP-2,LIX,KC and MCP-1)in lung tissues at mRNA level was meas-ured by RT-PCR. Results Chlamydial pneumonitis was induced in mice by intranasal inoculation of 3×103 IFU of Cm. Compared with the mice from control group,large amounts of inflammatory cells including PMN, monocytes and lymphocytes were induced in lung tissues of mice with Cm infection. PMN responded earlier than monocytes to the infection. The levels of MPO were significantly increased in mice with Cm infection and reached the highest level on the 7th day after infection. A decline in MPO levels was observed on the 14th day but the levels were still higher than those on day 0. The percentages and total numbers of CD11b+Gr1+ cells were significantly increased after Cm infection. Moreover,an increased expression of PMN CD11b was also detected by flow cytometry. The expression of chemokines(MIP-2,LIX,KC and MCP-1)was in-creased in lung tissues of mice after Cm infection. The results of the study indicated that Cm infection in-duced the expression of PMN chemoattractants,resulting in the recruitment of PMN. Conclusion The infil-tration and activation of PMN in lung tissues of mice were induced by Cm infection through increasing the ex-pression of chemokines. PMN played an important role in immune responses against Cm infection.
