ABSTRACT

We report a case of a 44-year-old female patient with acute liver failure and hepatic encephalopathy. The patient received artificial liver treatment and underwent allogeneic orthotopic liver transplantation at 14 days after admission. Laboratory examination reported a small number of green cytoplasmic inclusions in neutrophils on the peripheral blood smear at 68 days after admission. The patient eventually died of liver failure at 71 days after admission. Green inclusions are bright green or blue-green inclusions presented in the cytoplasm of neutrophils in Wright-Giemsa stained peripheral blood smears, and is associated with liver failure and high short-term mortality.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, diagnosis and treatment of discordant lymphoma (DL).Methods:The clinical data of a patient with EB virus-positive DL admitted to Taizhou People's Hospital in November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient underwent a cervical lymph node biopsy pathology examination at onset, and then results suggested angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). The patient subsequently developed gastrointestinal bleeding and underwent resection of small bowel lesions, and postoperative pathology suggested diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The patient was finally diagnosed as DL. The R2-CHOP chemotherapy regimen was given to the patient, but the patient still had recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding and poor general condition. The patient refused chemotherapy and was changed to lenalidomide monotherapy. Finally, the patient died due to multiorgan failure, with an overall survival of 13 months.Conclusions:DL is rarely seen in lymphoma, whereas the combination of AITL and DLBCL is extremely rare. The clinicians need to improve the understanding of this disease to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate whether the presence of complement factor H( CFH) gene polymorphisms is associated with unexplained mild visual loss (UMVL) in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods:A case control study was adopted.The participants included two groups from a previous population-based epidemiology study on type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in the Beixinjing community, Shanghai: UMVL was defined by a best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)<20/25 and≥20/63 in both eyes, with no eye diseases causing visual impairment, such as corneal diseases, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, optic nerve atrophy, diabetic retinopathy, etc.Genomic DNA was isolated from the peripheral venous blood of all the participants and then loaded onto Fluidigm Digital Arrays.Four CFH gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)(rs800292, rs1061170, rs529825, rs1410996, rs203674) were assessed with the SPSS 13.0 and HAPLoVIEW 4.0 software to test the statistical association of CFH polymorphisms with UMVL.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University(No.2013KY023). All the procedures were conducted according to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to entering the study cohort. Results:Total of 135 residents with UMVL and 133 with normal vision(BCVA≥20/25 in both eyes) were enrolled.The UMVL group matched the control group in terms of gender, age, onset age, and duration of diabetes mellitus, hemoglobin A1c levels, and body mass index(all at P>0.05). The four SNPs(rs800292, rs1061170, rs529825, rs1410996) except rs203674 tested in the UMVL and control groups were qualified by the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium ( P>0.05). There were no differences in SNPs and genotypes between the two groups in the four loci of the CFH gene.The P value of allele frequencies of rs529825, rs800292, rs1410996 and rs1061170 were 0.79, 0.25, 0.69 and 0.77, respectively, and the P value of genotype frequencies were 0.61, 0.69, 0.87 and 0.43, respectively. Conclusions:There is no correlation between CFH gene polymorphism and UMVL in type 2 diabetic patients.

ABSTRACT

Purpose To investigate the influence of the region of interest (ROI) selection on the repeatability of 64 slice spiral CT perfusion parameters for the peripheral lung cancer.Materials and Methods The 64 slice spiral CT perfusion images of thirty-seven patients with peripheral lung cancer were retrospectively analyzed.The perfusion parameters including blood flow (BF),blood volume (BV),Patlak blood volume (PBV),permeability surface area product (PS),and mean transit time (MTT) were obtained by using three ROI selection methods including maximum area of ROI (ROIm),round of ROI (ROIr),and volume of ROI (ROLv),and these parameters were measured by two observers repeatedly.The repeatability and reliability of the values of these perfusion parameters by using different ROI methods or measured by different observer were determined.Results The perfusion parameters derived from three ROIs all had a excellent intraobserver and interobserver agreement (ICC>0.75).Besides,the values of the perfusion parameters by using different ROI methods had no significant difference (P>0.05),but the data obtained by ROIm and ROIv were more stable than that obtained by ROIr.Conclusion The repeatability of the perfusion parameters obtained from above three ROIs is excellent,but ROIm and ROIv may be more suitable than ROIr to assess vascular perfusion of peripheral lung cancer.

ABSTRACT

Background Researches showed that elevatory blood glucose level results in long-term damage of cells and tissue,or metabolic memory phenomenon,and manipulation of hyperglycemic memory is a good approach in the prevention of diabetic complications.However,its mechanism is not clear.It is speculated that the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in diabetic patients may be associated to related mechanisms.Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) can decrease the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS),which may be related to DR.Objective This study was to explore the association between DR and the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of UCP genes in Chinese Han population with type 2 diabetes.Methods A cross-sectional study was performed.This study was approved by Ethic Committee of Affiliated First Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and complied with Declaration of Helsinki,and written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to any medical examination.One thousand eight hundreds and seventy-five patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in Xinjing district of Shanghai city by cluster sampling from November 2014 to January 2015.The demographic and medical baseline characteristics,ocular examination and laboratory tests were obtained and periphery blood of 2 ml was collected for extraction of DNA.Eight tag SNPs of UCP1,three tag SNPs of UCP2,and seven tag SNPs of UCP3 were selected as marker locus for the detection of genotype by Sequenom Mass ARRAY.Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry platform were used for genotyping.Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) analysis,allele and genotype frequencies,haplotype analysis,and association tests for DR and SNPs were performed by SAS and SHEsis software.Results A total of 530 DR patients were checked out from 1 875 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus,with the detection rate of 28.27%.rs660339 locn of UCP2 gene and rs1626521,rs668514 locus of UCP3 gene appeared to have low detectable rates,and the secondary allele base frequency of rs632862 in UCP2 gene was <0.01 and rs15763 of UCP3 gene was unmatched with HWE,therefore,these locus analysis was not included.In 13 SNPs locus included in the analysis,only 2 SNPs of UCP1 gene were related to DR.Compared with the non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) patients,the G allele frequency of rs10011540 was increased (P =0.03,OR =1.31,95 % confidence interval[CI] =1.03-1.67,and T allele frequency of rs3811787 was decreased (P=0.04,OR=0.86,95% CI=0.75-0.99) in DR patients.Genotyping detection showed that the C/C and A/A frequencies of rs3811790 in UCP1 gene were significantly more and C/A frequency was less in DR patients than those in NDR patients (all at P<0.01).The logistic regression analysis indicated an association of SNPs of rs10011540 and rs3811787 with DR independent from glucose and disease duration.Conclusions The SNPs of rs10011540 and rs3811787 locus in UCP1 gene are associated with DR in Chinese type 2 diabetes patients.

ABSTRACT

Background Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis is a common eye disease,and adenovirus is one of the common pathogens.The hexon protein,one main capsid protein of the virus,is an important target of antibody binding.Thus,sequencing the coding region of the hexon protein is an important way for adenovirus fast typing.Objective This study was to complete a molecular epidemiology survey of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis and investigate its association with adenovirus in Shanghai area by sequencing the coding region of hexon protein.Methods Two hundred and fourteen sacconjunctival swab specimens were collected from 214 patients with suspicious epidemic keratoconjunctivitis who visited Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center and the clinical sites supervised by the Shanghai Prevention and Monitoring Office of Acute Hemerragic Conjunctivitis under the informed consent from January 2010 to December 2012.DNA was extracted from the specimens and then the 140 bp conserved sequence in hexon protein coding region was amplified by PCR initially to determine an adenovirus pathogen.Furtherly,956 bp conserved sequence of the hexon codind district was sequencied to clarify the serotype of adenovirus in the adenovirus-positive specimens.Results 50.93% patients (109/214) were detected to be adenovirus-positive by generic PCR,in which AdV1 + was in 4 patiens,AdV2+ was in 33 patients,AdV3+ was in 15 patients,AdV4+ was in 12 patients,AdV8+ was in 19 patiens,AdV19+ was in 15 patients,AdV37+ was in 8 patients.The subgenus D adenoviruses,including AdV8+,AdV19+ and AdV37+ often resulted in corneal inflammation,pseudomembranous conjunctivitis and preauricular lymph nodes;while subgenus B adenovirus induced much frequent tract infection and less corneal response.Conclusions PCR-sequence of conserved region of hexon protein coding district is applicable for the detection and serotyping of adenovirus in epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.

ABSTRACT

Background Epidemiologieal survey suggests that visual impairment in teenagers is a worldwide public health problem,and its leading cause is uncorrected refractive error.To conduct an extensive screening of visual impairment in teenagers and analyze the relevant affecting factors are significant works for the prevention and management of refractive errors.But high-quality epidemiological data on visual impairment and refractive error from large groups of children are lacking in Shanghai.Objective This study was to investigate the prevalence of ametropia and visual impairment in schoolchildren aged 6 to 12 years old.Methods In this cross-sectional study,4 686 students from 6 elementary schools in Baoshan District of Shanghai,a rural-urban fringe zone,China were selected by clustering sampling from May 2010 to April 2011.The eye examinations included visual acuity,ocular surface,ocular anterior segment,ocular media,fundus and intraocular pressure measurement,and the data autorefraction under cycloplegia and eye position were recorded.The cause of visual impairment was evaluated.Results A total of 4 594 students received examination with the response rate 98.0%,and autorefraction under cycloplegia was completed in 84.8% schoolchildren (3 975/4 594).The prevalence rate of uncorrected visual acuity 0.5 or worse in both eyes was 14.4% (662/4 594),with the wearing glasses rate 51.8% (343/662).The percentage of students with the uncorrected visual acuity 0.5 or worse in at least one eye was 22.4% (1 031/4 594).The prevalence rate of refractive error in the visual impaired students was 96.9% (999/1 031),followed by amblyopia (37/1 031,3.6%).The prevalence rate of myopia,hyperopia,and astigmatic in the pupils after cycloplegia was 31.1%,4.3 % and 33.0%,respectively.In addition,the prevalence rate of myopia in public elementary schools was higher than that in migrant elementary schools (33.9% versus 30.3%) (x2 =5.46,P =0.02).Logistic regression analysis showed that myopia was associated with age (OR =1.60,95 % CI:1.53-1.68,P < 0.01) and female (OR =1.33,95% CI:1.16-1.54,P<0.01).Conclusions The leading cause of vision impairment is myopia in the elementary school students in Shanghai,China.The screening-ratio of refractive error and the coverage of refractive correction in the elementary school students in Shanghai are matters of urgent concern.

ABSTRACT

Background The commonly used method of typing the adenovirus (AdV) for epidemic keratoconjunctivitis is direct DNA sequence.However,heteroduplex mobility assay (HMA) is found to be a faster method to identify the subtypes of adenovirus and is more conforming to the principle of cost and economic benefit.There are few studies to illustrate the application of HMA in epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.Objective This study analyzed the conserved region of hexon coding sequence and compared the outcomes between direct DNA sequence and HMA for classification of adenovirus in epidemic keratoconjunctivitis patients.The validity of HMA is evaluated by comparing the result of both studies Methods Two hundreds and fourteen patients with suspicious epidemic keratoconjunctivitis were included in Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center or the clinical sites supervised by the Shanghai Prevention and Monitoring Office of Acute Hemerragic Conjunctivitis from January 2010 to December 2012.Sacconjunctival swab samples were collected from each patient under the informed consent.DNA of pathogens was extracted from the samples using QIA-amp minikit,and the conserved sequence with 366 bp at hexon protein coding region was amplified by PCR and sequenced subsequently to determine the infected adenovirus and their subtypes.These samples were simultaneously assayed by HMA,and the outcomes between DNA sequence and HMA were compared.Results Extracted DNA presented a yellow fluorescence band with the fragment size 35 kb and absorbance ratio at the wavelength 260 nm and 280 nm (A260/A280) was I.7.In the 214 samples,AdV type 1 (AdV1) was found in 4 samples,AdV2 in 33 samples,AdV3 in 15 samples,AdV4 in 12 samples,AdV8 in 19 samples,AdV19 in 15 samples and AdV37 in 8 samples.HMA showed the same outcome for the identification of AdV1,AdV2,AdV3,AdV8,AdV19 and AdV37 with direct DNA sequence.AdV4 was not feasible to HMA owing to 59.6% (over 10%) mutation sites.Conclusions Direct DNA sequencing for conserved regions in coding sequence of hexon is an important way to identify causing-disease adenovirus subtypes in the patients with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.HMA can offer a consistent result with the DNA sequencing,and it might be used as a suitable tool for large-scale molecular epidemiology researches.

Objective To evaluate skin barrier function in children with atopic dermatitis (AD) as well as healthy children from two communities in Shanghai and to assess the relationship between skin barrier function and AD severity.Methods Totally,169 children with AD and 142 healthy children aged 3-12 years were recruited from two communities (Changning Xining community and Jiading Juyuan community) in Shanghai,China.Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and stratum corneum hydration were measured in normal appearing nonlesional skin at four body sites (dorsal and volar forearm,cheek and anterior shin) of the patients,as well as in normal skin at the same sites of the controls.AD severity was evaluated by using the severity scoring of atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) index.Results Compared with the healthy children,the patients with AD showed higher TEWL value at all of the four body sites (all P < 0.05),but lower water content in stratum corneum at dorsal forearm and anterior shin (both P < 0.05).In patients with AD,the SCORAD index was positively correlated with mean TEWL value,but negatively correlated with the mean water content in stratum corneum.Conclusion Skin barrier function may serve as an index for evaluating the severity of AD.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, a new method was presented which can generate dental panoramic radiographs from the 3D CT sectional data. The dental panoramic radiograph was generated by casting ray into the 3D sectional data from a curved surface close to the dental arch. With this method, the relationship between the 3D CT sectional data and the dental panoramic radiographs was built, which helped to overcome the defects in the real X-ray panoramic radiographs, such as structure overlap and unselectable content for displaying. The technology is of certain significance in computer aided technique and surgical planning related to dentistry.
