RESUMEN
Objective To study the relationship between uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid (UGT1A1) gene polymorphism and unexplained neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in Jinhua.Method Full-term infants with unidentified non-binding hyperbilirubinemia were selected as hyperbilirubinemia group from January 2016 to December 2017 in the obstetrics or neonatal intensive care unit of Jinhua Central Hospital,healthy full-term neonates and those with physiological jaundice admitted during the same period were selected as control group.Whole blood DNA was extracted and UGT1A1 was sequenced and then annotated with human gene mutation database.The distribution and frequency of UGT1A1 genotype were analyzed.The correlation between different genotypes and unexplained unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in neonates was also studied.Result Two hundred and forty cases were enrolled in the hyperbilirubinemia group,and 216 cases were enrolled in the control group.Four single nucleotide variation (SNV) sites associated with the disease were found on UGT1A1,which were c.211G＞A (Gly71Arg),c.686C＞A (Pro229Gln),c.1091C＞T (Pro364Leu) and c.1456T＞G (Tyr486Asp),accounting for 83.9％(141/168),1.8％(3/168),8.9％(15/168) and 5.4％(9/168) in the experimental group respectively.The genotype frequency and allele frequency analysis showed that the distribution of the two SNV sites of c.211G＞A and c.1456T＞G were statistically different between the experimental group and the control group (P＜0.05),whereas there was no statistical difference of the other two SNV sites of c.686C＞A and c.1091C＞T between the two groups.Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that c.211G＞A and c.1456T＞G were related to the occurrence of unexplained hyperbilirubinemia,The OR values (95％CI) were 5.412 (3.567～ 8.212) and 8.377 (1.052～66.670) respectively,but no correlation was found of the other two polymorphic loci.At the different genotypes of c.211G＞A locus,the levels of total bilirubin and non-binding bilirubin in infants with homozygous mutant (AA) were higher than those in infants with heterozygous mutant (GA) and wild type (GG),which was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion The most common mutation site of the UGT1A1 gene in Jinhua is c.211G＞A.The mutations of c.211G＞A and c.1456T＞G are risk factors forunconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in neonates.Of the different genotypes of c.211G＞A locus,the serum bilirubin level of homozygous mutant group was significantly higher than heterozygous mutant group and wild type group.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the clinical characteristics and genetic basis of a child affected with Glass syndrome.@*METHODS@#Clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination results of the child were analyzed. Potential mutation was detected with next generation sequencing and validated by Sanger sequencing.@*RESULTS@#The child has featured growth and mental retardation, delayed speech, cleft palate, crowding of teeth, and downslanting palpebral fissures. DNA sequencing revealed a de novo heterozygous missense mutation c.1166G>A (p.R389H) in exon 8 of the SATB2 gene in the child.@*CONCLUSION@#The heterozygous mutation c.1166G>A (p.R389H) of the SATB2 gene probably account for the Glass syndrome in the patient.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of G protein-coupled receptor 17 (GPR17) on hypoxia injury in retinal ganglion cells .@*METHODS@#CoCl (400 μmol/L) was used to induce hypoxic injury in RGC-5 cells. The expression of GPR17 and the effect of GPR17 ligands were investigated, and the role of GPR17 in hypoxia injury was further studied by transfection of RGC-5 cells with GPR17 small interfering RNA (siRNA). The cell viability was determined by MTT and the cell apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry analysis. The expression of GPR17 mRNA was determined with RT-PCR.@*RESULTS@#mRNA expressions of GPR17 in RGC-5 cells with and without CoCl treatment were 0.36±0.05 and 0.26±0.08(<0.01). Compared with hypoxia without any treatment, pretreatment with GPR17 agonists (LTD, UDP, UDP-G) significantly reduced cell viability (the survival rates of cells decreased by 29.6%, 31.8% and 33.9%, all <0.01), while the effect of GPR17 antagonist (cangrelor) was the opposite (the survival rates of cells increased by 33.2%, <0.01). Transfection with GPR17 SiRNA inhibited hypoxia-induced up-expression of GPR17 mRNA (<0.01)and reduced cell apoptosis[rates of cell apoptosis were(39.73±2.06)%,(42.50±3.64)% and (24.98±2.16)% for blank control, NC siRNA and GPR17 siRNA groups, <0.01].@*CONCLUSIONS@#GPR17 may mediate hypoxia injury in RGC-5 cells, while the knockdown of GPR17 can reduce the hypoxia injury.

Objective:To explore the clinical value on application of laparoscopic ultrasonography (Lap US) in the adnexal operation. Methods:Eleven patients including 7 cases of tubal pregnancy, 3 cases of teratoma of ovary and 1 case of endometrial cyst of ovary were examined by LapUS, then operated with laparoscopy.Results:The results showed that the modality presented is a big progress over the traditional operative management for adnexal diseas. Conclusions:It is a good approach for micro-surgery in the adnexal operation by laparoscopy.
