The pregnant woman was 34 years old,G9P0,at 32 weeks of gestation,the routine prenatal examination of the fetus in the Second Xiangya Hospital,Central South University indicated that “The hyperechoic mass in the right lobe of the liver,Hepatic hemangioma?Hepatoblastoma?”. Since then,multiple fetal and postnatal color ultrasound scans indicated progressive enlargement of the mass. The fluctuation of serum alphafetoprotein(AFP)was increased after birth,the possibility of a malignant tumor could not be ruled out by imaging and laboratory examinations. The child underwent hepatectomy 70 days after birth. The final diagnosis was hepatic hemangioma,and a one-year follow-up showed that she had a good prognosis. Fetal liver hemangioma is the most common benign liver tumor,prenatal ultrasound diagnosis is not difficult. However,atypical fetal hepatic hemangioma has complex ultrasound manifestations,and prenatal diagnosis is hard to determine its nature. In this article,the ultrasonographic features of typical and atypical fetal hepatic hemangioma were compared to provide the basis for early diagnosis of atypical fetal hepatic hemangioma.

The pregnant woman was 39 years old,G2P1,a fetal goiter was found at 25 weeks at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University,and thyroid function was normal during the pregnancy. Amniocentesis revealed the presence of two DUOX2 mutations in fetal DNA:c.3340delC(P.L1114Sfs56)in exon 25 and c.2654G>A(p.R885Q)in exon 20,which were determined to be heritable by familial genetic testing. Many fetal and neonatal ultrasounds have shown goiter,rich blood flow in the parenchyma and low postnatal thyroid hormone levels led to the diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism. The patient was given L-thyroxine 30 μg/d. After 3 months of follow-up,the thyroid function was normal without developmental problems.

Objective To study the accuracy and safety of oral mucosal exfoliated cell specimens used in the bedside rapid detection of MTHFR C677T genotype by using the fluorescent probe method.Methods The outpatients and inpatients with hypertension visited and admitted in the department of cardiovascular medicine of this hospital from January 2019 to September 2020 were selected.The plasma homocysteine (Hcy) level in all patients was detected in the laboratory,a total of 482 hypertensive patients with Hcy≥10 μmol/L were se-lected,and the oral mucosal cells and whole blood sample were collected in all patients,and the genotypes of the above specimens were detected by the oral mucosal exfoliative cell fluorescent probe method and whole blood sample contrast reagents.If the two test results were inconsistent,the "gold standard" Sanger sequen-cing method was used to detect the whole blood sample for the final determination of MTHFR C677T geno-type.The coincidence rate was compared between the two detection methods,and the probability of adverse e-vents during the samples collection was observed and recorded.The accuracy and safety of fluorescence probe method for detecting MTHFR C677T genotype in the patients with oral mucosa exfoliation was evaluated.Re-sults The oral mucosal exfoliated cell samples and whole blood samples from 482 hypertensive patients were successfully collected,and no obvious adverse reactions occurred during the sampling process.The incidence rate of total mutation of MTHFR C677T gene detected by the fluorescence probe method and contrast reagent all were 73.23% (353/482),the coincidence rate of homozygous wild type (CC type) in MTHFR C677T gene detected by the two methods was 100.00% (95%CI:97.11-100.00),which of heterozygous mutant type (CT type) was 99.14% (95%CI:96.91-99.76),which of homozygous mutant type (TT type) was 99.17%(95%CI:95.47-99.85),the total coincident rate of MTHFR C677T genotype was 99.38% (95%CI:98.19-99.79)and the detection results consistency Kappa value was 0.9902.Conclusion The detection of MTHFR C677T gene mutation in oral mucosal exfoliated cells by fluorescent probe method is simple with less invasion,moreover which is rapid,safe and accurate.

Objective To observe the effect of stress on the rapid component of delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) in rat cardiomyocytes. Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups (10 each): control group (Ctrl), exhaustive group (ES), noise group (WN) and composite group (ES+WN). Stress animal models were prepared as follows: Rats in ES group were undergoing exhaustive swimming as the stress factor, in WN group undergoing white noise and in ES+WN group undergoing exhaustive swimming + white noise as the stress factor. Langendorff device was used to reversely perfuse collagenase for isolating the rat's ventricular myocytes. The effect of stress on IKr current and gating mechanism of single ventricular myocyte was recorded by whole-cell patch clamp technique. Results Compared with the Ctrl group, the tail current density of IKr (IKr,tail) of ventricular myocytes increased significantly in ES group and WN group (P<0.01). The IKr,tail current density of the ventricular myocytes in ES+WN group was significantly higher than that in ES group and WN group (P<0.01), and the effect was voltage dependent. Gating mechanism revealed that the half inactivation voltage of IKr,tail (V1/2,inact) can be shifted to the right in ES group, WN group and ES+WN group when compared with the Ctrl group, and the recovery time constant shortened after inactivation (P<0.01). However, the steady-state activation, fast inactivation constant and voltage dependence of IKr,tail were not statistically significant in ES group, WN group and ES+WN group when compared with the Ctrl group. Conclusion Stress increases the IKr current in rat cardiomyocytes, suggesting it be one of the electrophysiological bases of stress-induced arrhythmia.

Objective:To analyze the accuracy of the digital imaging fiber optic transillumination (DIFOTI) on diagnosis of caries lesions depth using DIAGNOcam system.Methods:This experiment adopted self-matching design.Seventy-four extracted teeth (molar:sixty-six,premolar:eight) with one caries lesions in proximity which were not damaged in surface marginal ridge were selected.Dental calculus and dental stains were removed from the extracted teeth for standby application.A sign was marked in the middle of the occlusal surface edge at the side of decay.Then the teeth were fixed in the standard model of dentition and cavities were adjacent with the sound tooth surface.Sticky wax was applied to seal the level of 2 mm beyond cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) in the direction of occlusion and interproximal space to imitate gingival margin and gingival papilla.The standard models of dentition was seated in imitation head mold.The lesions depth degree was looked into and checked with DIAGNOcam system.Besides,the pictures on the occlusal surfaces were recorded and saved.The sign above could be seen on the picture.The measuring tool in DIAGNOcam system was used to measure the depth of the caries from the sign (as starting point) to the deepest point of caries in the pictures and its length was recorded for a.The line a was lengthened to the contralateral edge of occlusal surface in the photo and the length was recorded for b.A line from the marked point on the occlusal surface edge of the extracted teeth was draw parallel to the line b on the corresponding photo and its length was recorded for c.The depth of the cavities on the projected images was recorded for d,and calculated d/a =c/b (digital optical fiber measured decay depth/caries damage depth of the image =actual tooth width/tooth width of the image),and d =c/b × a inferred.At last,the teeth were taken out from the standard model dentition.The decay of the tooth was removed completely.The actual depth of the cavity was recorded for D.The difference between d and D was recorded for Δd.The software of SPSS 20.0 was used to test the consistency of the results,and the MedCalc 14.8.1.0 software was used for Bland-Altman analysis.Results:The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between d and D was 0.951 (ICC > 75 %),P =0.263.There was a function relationship y =0.23 ± 0.9 1x between d (x) and D (y).Bland-Altman analysis method showed that the mean of Δd (Δd) was 0.05 mm,the standard deviation of Δd (ΔdsD) =0.308,and the 95% confidence interval was (-0.55 to 0.65).The amplitude of difference was clinically acceptable.So the consistency of the two measurement modes was high.Conclusion:There was no significant difference between the depth of caries lesions checked with DIAGNOcam system and the depth of the actual cavity,and the consistency was very good.The vitro study suggests that the DIAGNOcam system may be used to assess the depth of caries cavity as a useful tool in diagnosis and treatment.
