Identification and Clinical Analysis of the First Nonsense Mutation in the Gene in a Family With Acute Encephalopathy and Retinitis Pigmentosa.

In the present study, we investigated the genetic variation in a family with acute encephalopathy and retinitis pigmentosa. of 25 people in this family underwent genetic testing. Three family members, namely, the proband and the proband's two sisters, showed symptoms resembling those of meningoencephalitis and simultaneously suffered from retinitis pigmentosa.

The first report: An analysis of bacterial flora of the first voided urine specimens of patients with male urethritis using the 16S ribosomal RNA gene-based clone library method.

Objectives: To analyse the bacterial flora of urine from patients with male urethritis using the clone library method.

Methods: Urine specimens from patients with urethritis were used. The bacterial flora was analysed according to the 16S ribosomal RNA gene-based clone library method.

[Study of the bacterial reduction effects of dry hand rubbing without disinfectant].

Handwashing is the most basic method of preventing infection. Hand rubbing with an alcohol-based handrub, is the most efficient and popular method. We found in several case studies that 3 minutes of dry hand rubbing without any disinfectant decreases the number of hand bacteria.
