Abstract
Objective: To analyze the surgical efficacy of patients with mixed hearing loss and otosclerosis with different air bone gap (ABG) before surgery, and to provide reference for the prognosis evaluation of otosclerosis surgery. Methods: The clinical data of 108 cases(116 ears) of otosclerosis who had undergone stapes fenestration technique artificial stapes implantation in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from November 2013 to May 2020 and had mixed hearing loss before surgery were collected, including 71 women(76 ears)and 37 men (40 ears), with an average age of 38.5 years. According to preoperative pure tone audiometry ABG, they were divided into three groups: group S, 15 dB≤ABG<31 dB, a total of 39 ears; group M, 31 dB≤ABG<46 dB, a total of 58 ears; and group L, ABG≥46 dB, 19 ears in total. The hearing outcomes of three groups of patients at 6-12 months after surgery were compared and analyzed using SPSS 24.0 statistical software. Results: A total of 3 patients (group S: 2 cases; group L: 1 case) experienced severe sensorineural hearing loss after surgery and were not included in the statistical analysis. After surgery, the pure tone hearing threshold of patients with otosclerosis in each group was significantly improved compared to before surgery, with an average air conduction threshold improvement of(21.6±13.4) dB. The difference between before and after surgery was statistically significant(t=17.13, P<0.01). The average bone conduction threshold improved by(3.7±7.6) dB, and the difference was statistically significant before and after surgery(t=5.20, P<0.01). The postoperative ABG was(18.3±9.3) dB, which was significantly reduced compared to preoperative(36.2±8.6)dB. Among the three groups of patients, the L group had the highest improvement in air conduction threshold[(29.9±10.8)dB], while the S group had the lowest improvement[(15.7±11.4)dB]. There was no statistically significant difference in post operative pure tone hearing thresholds between the three groups(P>0.05). The postoperative ABG in group S was the smallest[(16.5±9.0)dB], while in group L, the postoperative ABG was the largest[(20.5±10.0)dB]. Compared with group S, group M and group L still had a large residual ABG at 2 000 Hz after surgery. The bone conduction threshold of both S and M groups improved to some extent after surgery compared to before (P<0.01). Conclusions: Surgery can benefit patients with mixed hearing loss and otosclerosis with different preoperative ABG. Patients with small preoperative ABG have better surgical results and ideal ABG closure at all frequencies after surgery. Patients with large preoperative ABG can significantly increase the gas conduction threshold during surgery, but certain frequencies of ABG may still be left behind after surgery. The improvement effect of surgery on bone conduction threshold is not significant. Patients should be informed of treatment methods such as hearing aids based on their actual situation for selection.

Abstract
Objective: To verify the accuracy and effectiveness of Goldengate high-throughput deafness gene chip in detecting the patients with enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome(EVAS), and to provide a reference for genetic detection strategy of EVAS. Methods: From August 2016 to February 2018, 15 patients with EVAS and 60 normal controls were detected by Goldengate high-throughput deafness detection chip developed by our team, and the results were verified by Sanger sequencing. SLC26A4 gene sequencing was carried out in all the patients with EVAS. Results: 12/15 of patients with EVAS were detected mutations of SLC26A4 gene. Nine mutations were detected by chip detection and SLC26A4 gene direct sequencing, seven of which were detected by both methods. The chip could detect 93.33%(28/30) of the allele information provided by SLC26A4 gene direct sequencing. In addition to SLC26A4 gene, mutations of GJB2, PCDH15, TMC1, MYO6 and mitochondrial genes were detected in 15 patients with EVAS. These results were verified by Sanger sequencing. Conclusion: Goldengate high-throughput deafness gene chip possesses the traits of wide coverage and high accuracy, which can be used as a preliminary detection method for patients with EVAS.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application value of high-throughput gene detection method of copy number variations (CNV) in the diagnosis of enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA). Methods: A total of 46 nonsyndromic hearing loss patients with EVA were recruited between May 2014 and December 2016 from Department of Otolaryngology of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. A high-throughput multiplex analysis method based on double ligation and multiple fluorescent PCR was designed and performed to detect CNV in the three EVA-related genes (SLC26A4, FOXI1 and KCNJ10). The data were analyzed by GeneMapper v4.1. Healthy volunteers (n=100) were selected as normal controls. Results: A total of 46 EVA patients were detected (32 males, 14 females, aged 1 to 26 years). In 4 EVA patients, deletions of exons 1-3 of SLC26A4 gene (4/46, 8.7%) were detected, which were not reported in the database of genomic variants (DGV), and were absent in 100 normal controls. There was no CNV detected in FOXI1 and KCNJ10 in the study. Conclusions: In the current study, three known EVA-related genes were designed as the target area for CNV detection by high-throughput ligation-dependent probe amplification (HLPA) analysis. This method can be used as a supplementary analysis of point mutation detection of hearing loss, which helps achieve the accurate genetic diagnosis of EVA.

Abstract
Introduction Many studies have explored the imaging characteristics of patients with neurosyphilis, but no systematic study has been made on the neuroimaging changes after anti-syphilitic treatment. The purpose of this study was to examine neuroimaging differences before and after treatment, comparing patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic neurosyphilis. Methods A total of 102 patients with neurosyphilis, including 60 cases of symptomatic neurosyphilis and 42 cases of asymptomatic neurosyphilis, were identified between December 2012 and June 2019. Their demographics, medical histories, serological tests of peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and especially neuroimaging features before and after anti-syphilitic treatment were collected and analyzed. Results The patients presented with variable clinical and neuroimaging features, including cerebral infarction or hemorrhage, atrophy, demyelination, arteritis, encephalitis, and hippocampal sclerosis. A total of 29 neuroradiological re-examinations were performed in 19 patients treated with anti-syphilitic medicine. The results indicated that some patients still presented neuroradiological progression after treatment, including 42.1% showing infarction lesions, 47.4% mild to severe brain atrophy, and 15.8% white matter demyelination. Conclusion The clinical and neuroimaging features of neurosyphilis patients are diverse, and their follow-up neuroimaging continued to show progression even with standardized treatment.

Abstract
Background Mechanical thrombectomy has been proven as a standard care for moderate to severe ischemic stroke with anterior large vessel occlusion (LVO); however, whether it is equally effective in mild ischemic stroke (MIS) is controversial. Methods In this retrospective study, a total of 177 Chinese patients presenting with MIS (NIHSS ≤8) and LVO between January 2014 and September 2017 from seven comprehensive stroke centers were identified. Odds of good outcome with endovascular thrombectomy versus medical treatment were obtained by logistic regression analysis and propensity-score matching method, and a meta-analysis pooled results from six studies (n = 733). Results Good outcome (mRS: 0–1) was 58.2% (46/79) in the thrombectomy and 46.9% (46/98) in the medical group, which showed no statistical significance before adjustment (P = 0.13; OR = 1.57, 95% CI: 0.86 to 2.86). The adjusted ORs of thrombectomy versus medical group were 3.23 (95% CI, 1.35 to 7.73; P = 0.008) by multivariable logistic analysis, 2.78 (1.12 to 6.89; P = 0.02) by propensity score matching analysis, and 3.20 (1.22 to 8.37; P = 0.01) by propensity score matching analysis with additional adjustments, respectively. Thrombectomy treatment did not result in excessive mortality or symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after adjustments. The meta-analysis did not confirm the associations between good outcome and endovascular treatment. Conclusions The current study indicates that endovascular thrombectomy is associated with good functional outcome in MIS patients with LVO, and without additional risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality. Although the meta-analysis failed to demonstrate its superiority compared to medical treatment, randomized clinical trials are needed.

Abstract
Objective: To detect 20 common deafness gene mutations in non-syndromic hearing loss patients in China using the melting curve method, and analyze and summarize the mutation data to explore the clinical value of this method. Methods: The real-time fluorescence PCR melting curve method was used to detect 20 common mutations of four deafness genes(GJB2,GJB3,SLC26A4 and mtDNA) in 492 patients with non-syndromic hearing loss recruited between March 2014 and September 2016 from the Otolaryngology Department of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University(283 males and 209 females, the age ranged from 1 to 48 years old). The Sanger sequencing method was used to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and total coincidence rate of the deafness mutation detected by the real-time fluorescence PCR melting curve method. Results: A total of 492 samples were detected. 193 wild-type samples, 93 homozygous mutant samples, 145 heterozygous mutant samples, 59 composite heterozygous mutant samples and 2 samples with unknown mutations were detected using the real-time fluorescence PCR melting curve method within the range of 20 gene mutations, whichwere identical to the Sanger sequencing results.The two samples were detected as unknown mutations by the real-time fluorescent PCR melting curve method were confirmed by Sanger sequencing, including a composite heterozygous mutant sample and a homogenous mutation sample. GJB2 c.235delC and SLC26A4 c.919-2 A>G were the most common hotspot mutations in this study, followed by mtDNA m.1555 A>G. Compared with the Sanger sequencing method, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and total coincidence rate of the real-time fluorescence PCR melting curve method were 100%, the Youden's index was 1.0, and the Kappa value was 1. Conclusions: The real-time fluorescence PCR melting curve method is suitable for the detection of deafness gene mutations. It has the advantages in terms of simple, rapid, high sensitivity and strong specificity and can accurately detect the 20 gene mutations of 4 common deafness genes in Chinese population, which is expected to be used for the clinical detection of deafness genes in the future.

Abstract
The three-dimensional (3D) visualization of the functional bundles in the peripheral nerve provides direct and detailed intraneural spatial information. It is useful for selecting suitable surgical methods to repair nerve defects and in optimizing the construction of tissue-engineered nerve grafts. However, there remain major technical hurdles in obtaining, registering and interpreting 2D images, as well as in establishing 3D models. Moreover, the 3D models are plagued by poor accuracy and lack of detail and cannot completely reflect the stereoscopic microstructure inside the nerve. To explore and help resolve these key technical problems of 3D reconstruction, in the present study, we designed a novel method based on re-imaging techniques and computer image layer processing technology. A 20-cm ulnar nerve segment from the upper arm of a fresh adult cadaver was used for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) staining. Then, 2D panoramic images were obtained before and after AChE staining under the stereomicroscope. Using layer processing techniques in Photoshop, a space transformation method was used to fulfill automatic registration. The contours were outlined, and the 3D rendering of functional fascicular groups in the long-segment ulnar nerve was performed with Amira 4.1 software. The re-imaging technique based on layer processing in Photoshop produced an image that was detailed and accurate. The merging of images was accurate, and the whole procedure was simple and fast. The least square support vector machine was accurate, with an error rate of only 8.25%. The 3D reconstruction directly revealed changes in the fusion of different nerve functional fascicular groups. In conclusion. The technique is fast with satisfactory visual reconstruction.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the clinical chacteration and molecular pathology of Waardenburg syndrome type 2 in seven families, and provide genetic diagnosis and hereditary counseling for family members. Method:Clinical data of seven families with WS2(14 patients)were collected. Peripheral blood samples of the probands and related family members were collected and genomic DNA was extracted. The coding sequences of microphthalmia associated transcription factor (MITF), sex-determining region Y-box 10(SOX10), snail family zinc finger 2 (SNAI2) and endothelin receptor type B(EDNRB)were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing. Then the raw data was analyzed. Result:The most common manifestations of WS2 are sensorineural hearing loss(10/14,71.4%), freckle(7/14, 50.0%),heterochromia iridis(6/14, 42.9%) and premature greying(5/14,35.7%). All the deafness phenotype is congenital, bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. Freckles phenotype is different from cutaneous pigment abnormalities of WS in Westerners. The heterozygous mutation, c.328C>T in exon 3 of the MITF gene was detected in the proband and all patients of pedigree 2. However, no pathological mutation of the relevant genes (SOX10,SNAI2 and EDNRB) was detected in other pedigrees. Conclusion:There are obvious variations in clinical features of WS, while freckles may be a special subtype of cutaneous pigment disturbances. The MITF gene mutation, R110X,is therefore considered the disease causing mutation in pedigree WS02.However, there are novel disease causing genes or copy number variations in Waardenburg syndrome type 2, which require further research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We have performed a large-scale replication study based on our previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) of SLE in the Chinese Han population to further explore additional genetic variants affecting susceptibility to SLE. METHODS Thirty-eight single nucleotide polymorphisms from our GWAS were genotyped in two additional Chinese Han cohorts (total 3152 cases and 7050 controls) using the Sequenom Massarray system. Association analyses were performed using logistic regression with gender or sample cohorts as a covariate. RESULTS Association evidence for rs16972959 (PRKCB at 16p11.2) and rs12676482 (8p11.21) with SLE was replicated independently in both replication cohorts (P < 0.05), showing high significance for SLE in combined all 4199 cases and 8255 controls of Chinese Han [rs16972959: odds ratio (OR) = 0.81; 95% CI 0.76, 0.87; P(combined) = 1.35 × 10(-9); rs12676482: OR = 1.26; 95% CI 1.15, 1.38; P(combined) = 6.68 × 10(-7)). PRKCB is related to the established SLE immune-related pathway (NF-κB) and 8p11.21 contains important candidate genes such as IKBKB and DKK4. IKBKB is a critical component of NF-κB and DKK4 is an inhibitor of canonical Wnt signalling pathway. Interestingly, PRKCB is required for recruiting IKBKB into lipid rafts, up-regulating NF-κB-dependent survival signal. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provided novel insights into the genetic architecture of SLE and emphasized the contribution of multiple variants of modest effect. Further study focused on PRKCB, 8p11.21, should advance our understanding on the pathogenesis of SLE.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the expression of transform-ing growth factor alpha (TGF-α) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma.
METHODS: Immunohistochemistry (SABC assay) was used to detect the expression of TGF-α and EGFR protein in patients with reflux esophagitis (n = 13), Barrett's esophagus (n = 17), esophageal adenocarcinoma (n = 11) and normal esophageal mucosa (n = 30).
RESULTS: In the development of reflux esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma, the expression of TGF-α and EGFR protein increased gradually and closely correlated with each other (r = 0.951, P < 0.01). TGF-α protein was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm. EGFR was expressed in the cellular membrane in the normal esophageal mucosa and reflux esophagitis, but strongly positively expression was also observed in the cytoplasm and nucleus of cells in Barrett's esophagus with dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma.
CONCLUSION: TGF-α and EGFR expression increase and may play synergic roles in the development of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
gf-2.8 is a gene located on the chromosomal homologous group 4, which was reported to have relationship with salt tolerance of wheat. A pair of primers were designed to amplify the coding region of gf-2.8 in the two salt-tolerant mutants and their parents. Agarose gel electrophoresis showed that the 685 bp band was amplified among all the materials. SSCP analysis suggested that 974915 (one of the mutants) was different from the other materials. The sequencing results showed that Jimai 24 and its salt-tolerant mutant 8901-17 had the same sequence as published, which indicated that the mutation site of 8901-17 was not on the gf-2.8 gene. However, there were at least two single base mutations in the gf-2.8 of 974915, one of which caused the alternation of amino acid, this mutation occurred in the conservative region of gf-2.8.

Abstract
mtDNAs of T type wheat cytoplasmic male sterile lines 75-3369A and their maintainers 75-3369B were isolated and digested completely with restriction endonuclease BamH I, EcoR I, Hind III. The mitochondrial genomic difference between CMS line and maintainers were revealed by Southern hybridization with probes of atp6 from Oenothera and nad3/rps12, cox I from wheat mitochondria. Southern hybridization showed the differences between these two lines. Discussion was made on the change of the DNA composition and the male sterile cytoplasm.

Abstract
PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that ischemia and reperfusion injury may contribute to the cause or nonhealing of venous ulcers, the effects of postural change on the microcirculation of ulcers and on levels of known mediators of reperfusion injury in their venous effluent were studied. METHODS A standard protocol of stabilization (20 minutes), limb dependency (1 hour), and reelevation (2 hours) was used in 10 patients with venous leg ulcers as proven by clinical history, examination, ankle-brachial pressure index, and light reflective rheography. Superficial blood flow in and around ulcers was repeatedly examined with a new laser-Doppler scanning technique. Blood samples from the saphenous vein or a tributary adjacent to the ulcer before dependency and at 0, 10, 30, 60, and 120 minutes after reelevation were analyzed for tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1RA, IL-1 beta, IL-6, platelet-activating factor, thromboxane B2, leukotriene B4, and P-selectin. RESULTS Scans showed a consistent pattern of high ulcer blood flow, which decreased on dependency (p < 0.05) and then returned to baseline levels on reelevation and (in 7 of 10) eventually exceeded initial values. Mediator assays showed that levels of platelet-activating factor, IL-1RA, and IL-6 were significantly higher in resting ulcer venous effluent than in systemic venous samples; the reverse was true for P-selectin. There was no statistically significant change in effluent concentration of any mediator as a function of posture, ulcer size, or healing. CONCLUSIONS Postural vasoregulation causes relative ischemia and reperfusion in venous leg ulcers. However, this is not associated with changes in release of mediators known to be related to reperfusion injury in internal organs.

Abstract
Conventional laser-Doppler perfusion measurements can only obtain information from a single site. Since superficial blood flow is heterogeneous, this is a serious limitation, particularly in studies of methods to improve skin flap survival. A scanning laser-Doppler instrument has been developed which provides both an image and quantitative information about perfusion of the superficial tissue. We have evaluated this instrument in a circumflex iliac artery island flap model in the pig. The validity of the model was demonstrated by fluorescein dye injection and histology. Elevation of flaps was found to increase proximal flap blood flow but to decrease it in the distal portion. In flaps subjected to arterial ischaemia (9 h) and reperfusion we found an early increase in proximal flow, which gradually extended distally over the first 40 to 60 min. 16 h later, flow had declined, compatible with reperfusion damage to the vasculature. We suggest that perfusion imaging may be a valuable technique for investigating the mechanisms and extent of reperfusion injury.

Abstract
To develop the surgical model, composite mandibular tissue was transplanted at the same site. Revascularization was accomplished by end-to-end anastomosis of the facial vessels using standard microvascular techniques. A total of 33 vascularized composite mandibular tissue allografts were similarly performed between two incompatible strains of rabbit. In a control group of 9 animals, no immunosuppression was administered. All of these allografts were rejected acutely within 10 days after surgery. 7 allograft recipients were immunosuppressed with azathioprine and prednisone at 5 mg/kg.d and 2 mg/kg.d, respectively. Their allografts were also rejected acutely within 10 days. 17 allograft recipients were immunosuppressed with cyclosporine A (CsA). All allografts showed primary wound healing and hair growth and took on normal appearance. 8 of these recipients were given CsA at 5 mg/kg.d i.v. and their allografts were rejected at a mean time of 17.9 days. The remaining 9 recipients given CsA at 10 mg/kg.d i.v. rejected their allografts at a mean time of 36.1 days. In 3 of them, the rejection was reversed with CsA (20 mg/kg.d) injection for five days successfully, and one allograft survived more than 100 days. This pilot study suggests that the surgical model is reliable and that CsA will be useful as an immunosuppressive agent in the study of vascularized composite mandibular tissue allografts.

Abstract
The values obtained from the measurement of serum creatine phosphokinase (SCPK) in 70 cases of chronic cor pulmonale in exacerbation and 72 cases in remission were compared with the normal value as measured in 160 healthy adults at the same period. The results showed that the normal value of SCPK was 46.50 +/- 12.71 u/L in male, while 32.51 +/- 10.8 u/L in female. The differences of the values of SCPK in male and female are highly significant statistically (P less than 0.001). Although the values of SCPK were within normal limits (M +/- 2SD) in most patients with chronic cor pulmonale (72.38-84.10%) in this paper, the values of SCPK of some of them (13.60-22.36%) were higher than normal. But in a few of the patients in exacerbation (2.27-5.26%) the SCPK values were lower than normal. The increased activity of SCPK in patients with chronic cor pulmonale may be related to the vigorous movement of the respiratory muscles. While the level of SCPK decreased to extremely low degree may indicate that the respiratory muscles may be excessively fatigue. So we suggest that the levels of SCPK which are markedly higher or lower than normal could be served as an reference index for the excessive activity or fatigue of the respiratory muscles respectively in chronic cor pulmonale.
