Voice recognition is a key skill for successful human communication,but patients with voice recog-nition defects often suffer from the inability to accurately identify the speaker's identity.Phonagnosia refers to the difficulty in identifying a speaker by voice alone when hearing ability is not impaired.From the perspective of brain injury,the symptoms can be divided into congenital phonagnosia and developmental phonagnosia,and congenital phonagnosia is related to the dysfunction of the functional connection between the temporal lobe and the amygdala.The damaged brain areas in patients with acquired speech recognition defect mainly include the temporal lobe and the frontal lobe.In the future,more attention should be paid to the screening methods,neural mechanisms and differ-ences between patients with speech recognition deficiency and other patients with hearing and cognitive impairment.

Health security for rare diseases has aroused much attention in the society nowadays, In this article, we analyzed in-depth the construction of rare diseases health security in China by studying the literature reviews, expert interviews, and reports of pilot policy investigations. We conclude in the study that it is an important step to constructing a multiple health security system for the rare disease making the basic health security as the cornerstone. For rare medications and treatments that cannot be covered by the current national health insurance, it is necessary to build an specific funding for rare disease funding as a means of safeguard. Finally, for those who are financially disadvantages, the system should involve relief and philanthropy to help them. By constructing a multiple health security system, rare diseases patients in our country will get a well-covered health care.

ObjectiveTo establish a rat model of hyperuricemia （HUA）， to study the effect of Liqing granules on lowering serum uric acid， and to evaluate its safety . MethodsMale SD rats were randomly divided into solvent control group and model group according to their body weight. For the model group， serum uric acid （SUA） was determined after 7 days of intra-gastric administration of potassium oxyazinate. The model group were randomly divided into model control group， positive control group， and low， medium， high dose group based on SUA level. Each group from the model group continued to receive potassium oxyazinate in the morning. The animals in the model groups received 0.5% CMC-Na， 10 mg·kg^-1 benzbromarone （Doses by body weight） and Liqing granules 0.6， 1.2， 2.4 g·kg^-1 （Doses by body weight）， respectively in the afternoon. 0.5% CMC-Na suspension with the same volume was given both in the morning and afternoon for the solvent control group. Levels of SUA， creatinine （CREA）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate transaminase （AST） were determined after 32 and 45 days administration of the test substance. ResultsSUA of the model group was （218±23） μmol·L^-1 after 7 days of modeling， which was significantly higher than that of the solvent control group （P<0.001）. After 32 days administration of the test substance， SUA didn’t significantly decrease in each dose group （P>0.05）. CREA in the medium and high dose groups significantly decreased （P<0.05）. After 45 days administration of the test substance， SUA in each dose group was significantly decreased （P<0.001）， but CREA， ALT， and AST were not significantly different in each dose group in comparison with the model control group （P>0.05）. ConclusionLiqing granules can assist in lowering blood serum uric acid in the rat HUA model， and no damage to liver and kidney function is found.

Objective: To explore the effects of macrophages with high expression of TL1A on the activation and proliferation of HSCs in vitro. Methods: The Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) and peritoneal macrophages (PMs) from wild type (WT) and myeloid-overexpressed TL1A transgenic mice were isolated, differentiated and activated. HSCs were harvested from activated macrophages culture supernatant (CM). HSCs were detected by immunofluorescence and real-time Q-PCR. And the proliferation was detected by CCK-8 and BrdU assay kit. The levels of IL-1β and PDGF-BB in macrophage culture supernatants were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: BMMs-derived CM-intervention HSCs were used to detect the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) on the 2nd, 4th and 6th day respectively by immunofluorescence method. There was no significant difference between the two groups on the 2 nd and the 6th day, P > 0.05; On day 4, the CM/Tg group was significantly higher than that of CM/WT group, P < 0.01; the results of CMs derived from PMs were consistent with the above trend. The expression of α-SMA mRNA on the 2nd, 4th and 6th day was detected by real-time Q-PCR method using BM-derived CMs. No significant difference was found between the groups on the 2nd day (P > 0.05).α-SMA mRNA increased further on the 4th and 6th day, and the level of CM/Tg in CM/Tg group was significantly higher than that in CM/WT group (P < 0.05). The detection results of CMs derived from PMs were consistent with the above trend. The results of CCK-8 assay and BrdU assay showed that the proliferation rate of HSCs in CM Tg group was significantly higher than that in CM/WT group (P < 0.01). The CMs derived from PMs were used to interfere with HSCs. And the results were consistent with the above trend. For BMMs, the levels of IL-1β and PDGF-BB in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) + IFNγ/Tg culture supernatant were significantly higher than those in the LPS+IFNγ/WT group (P < 0.01). For the culture supernatants of PMs Liquid test results consistent with the above trend. Conclusion Macrophages with high expression of TL1A could enhance the activation and proliferation of HSCs by increasing the secretion of IL-1β and PDGF-BB.

Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11) in treatment of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia of acute leukemia. Methods: Acute leukemia patients with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia [Platelets (Plt) < 50×10⁹/L] in 6 centers nationwide from February 2016 to July 2016 were treated with rhIL-11 (2 mg/time, twice per day) by subcutaneous injection. Treatment lasted 7 days or at least until Plt≥ 50×10⁹/L. The Plt recovery was observed during treatment. Results: A total of 112 patients were enrolled, and 2 patients decided to drop out of study. The efficacy population consisted of 110 patients, and the total response rate reached 74.5% (82/110). The average variation of Plt during treatment was (70±54)×10⁹/L, and recovery average time of Plt for the patients with favorable efficacy was (8.7±3.0) days. In treatment with severe thrombocytopenia, rhIL-11 alone could shorten the recovery time compared with rhIL-11 combined with Plt transfusion [(8.0±2.6) d vs. (9.6±3.5) d, t=2.17, P=0.03]. Conclusion rhIL-11 twice a day of subcutaneous injection can effectively promote Plt recovery and reduce Plt transfusion with less adverse reactions, which is worthy of further application.

Objective: To study the correlation of lifestyle characteristics with thyroid nodules in a population-based sample of centenarians in Hainan. Methods: The study was based on China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study (CHCCS) conducted in 18 cities and counties in Hainan province from 2014 to 2016. A group of multidisciplinary team interviewed and examined local centenarians with structured questionnaires and ultrasonography procedures. A total of 918 centenarians were analyzed after excluding those who refused ultrasonographic examinations or had relevant missing data. Thyroids of centenarians were examined by 3-year experienced sonographer, details on lifestyle characteristics and dietary habits were collected by standard procedure. Results: Of the 918 centenarians, 683 (74.4%) had thyroid nodules under the ultrasonography procedures. The prevalence of thyroid nodules in different group of areca nut consumption varied significantly (P<0.05). In multivariate logistic regression model, the results showed female and areca nut intake were independently associated with thyroid nodules in centenarians (P<0.05). Conclusions The modifiable variables including areca nut intake as well as non-modifiable such as gender are independent determinants of thyroid nodules in centenarians. Further studies are warranted to explore and verify these associations in populations with different ranges of age.

Objective To investigate the effects of tumor necrosis factor-related ligand-1A(TL1A)on activation of T helper 9(Th9)cells of colonic tissues in chronic experimental colitis mice.Methods The chronic experimental colitis mice model was established with drinking dextran sulfate sodium salt(DSS).A total of 32 lymphocytes TL1A highly expressed mice and wild type(WT)mice were divided into WT control group, transgene control group,WT modeling group and transgene modeling group.The mice of control groups were administrated with distilled water. The mice of modeling groups received 3% DSS in drinking water discontinuously.The mice were sacrificed on 29 days after modeling.Body mass was measured,length of colon was recorded,scores of gross colon and the disease activity index(DAI)were calculated.The colonic morphological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(H-E)staining.The lamina propria mononuclear cells(LPMC)were isolated and the number of Th9 cells was tested by flow cytometry.The levels of interleukin-9(IL-9)in serum and LPMC were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The expressions of IL-9 protein and mRNA of the colonic tissues were measured by Western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR),respectively.T test and single factor analysis of variance were performed for statistical analysis.Results The percentage of body mass loss of WT modeling group was lower than that of transgene modeling group(16.2% ± 1.0% vs 18.9% ± 1.2%),and the difference was statistically significant(t=4.90, P<0.05).The scores of gross colon,DAI and pathology of transgene modeling group were all higher than those of WT modeling group(2.80 ± 0.64 vs 1.60 ± 0.31,2.55 ± 0.20 vs 1.58 ± 0.17,and 11.85 ± 0.86 vs 9.50 ± 0.79),and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.77,10.45 and 5.69,all P<0.05).The number of LPMC in transgene modeling group was higher than that of WT modeling group(3.70×106± 0.28×106vs 2.65×106± 0.32 × 106)and the difference was statistically significant(t= 6.98,P< 0.05).The percentage of Th9 in total CD4+T cells of LPMC in colonic tissues of transgene modeling group was higher than that of WT modeling group(0.54% ± 0.04% vs 0.23% ± 0.03%),and the difference was statistically significant(t= 17.54,P< 0.05).The serum IL-9 level of transgene modeling group was higher than that of WT modeling group((170.23 ± 5.69)pg/mL vs(150.62 ± 6.45)pg/mL),and the difference was statistically significant(t= 6.50,P< 0.05).The level of IL-9 secreted by LMPC of transgene modeling group was higher than that of WT modeling group((265.21 ± 8.76)pg/mL vs (237.58 ± 10.24)pg/mL),and the difference was statistically significant(t= 5.80,P< 0.05).The expressions of IL-9 protein and mRNA of transgene modeling group were higher than those of WT modeling group(1.31 ± 0.09 vs 1.18 ± 0.03,and 8.26 ± 1.13 vs 2.25 ± 0.29,respectively),and the differences were statistically significant(t=3.88 and 14.57,both P< 0.05).Conclusion TL1A high expression in lymphocytes can promote Th9 cells differentiation and IL-9 secretion which involved in the genesis of chronic experimental colitis.

Objective The expression of chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 13 (CXCL13) within liver in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) patients is significantly increased, but its origin and mechanism is not clear yet.The study aimed to investigate the expression of CXCL13 in the liver of mice through establishing a mouse model of PBC.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into experiment group (n=20) control group(n=10).The mice in the experimental group were intraperitoneally injected with polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid (Poly I:C) while the mice in control group were injected with PBS of the same volume.The level of serum AMA was quantified by ELISA and intrahepatic inflammatory cells were assessed by HE staining.Kupffer cells, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, and infiltrating lymphocytes in the liver of mice were collected by in situ perfusion enzyme digestion and magnetic bead separation methods.The transcriptional level of intrahepatic CXCL13 in liver tissues and cell subpopulations were detected by qPCR.Results The serum AMA titers of the mice in experiment group increased gradually with the prolonging of modeling time and the positive rates at the 4th, 8th, and 12th week after the first injection of Poly I:C were 5.9%, 52.9% and 76.5% respectively.While the serum AMA titers of the mice in control group were at a lower level through the modeling process, with only 2 mice presenting a little higher level above positive cutoff value at the 12th week.The results of HE staining in liver tissues of both groups showed that there were a great amount of intensely infiltrating inflammatory cells in the mice of experimental group while no inflammatory cell infiltration were found in the mice of control group.The separation purity of Kupffer cells and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in the mice of experiment group tested by flow cytometry were 76%-80%, 68%-72% respectively.Compared with the CXCL13 mRNA level in Kupffer cells [2.34(0.22-8.64)], the expression levels in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and infiltrating lymphocytes declined[0.27(0.03-1.64), 0.05(0-0.22), P<0.05].Conclusion The chemokine CXCL13 is predominantly produced by Kupffer cells in the liver of PBC mice established by Poly I:C injection.
