Clinical and genetic diagnosis of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II in a Chinese family: A case report.

Background: Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by increased bone density due to defective bone resorption of osteoclasts. Approximately, 80% of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO-II) patients were usually affected by heterozygous dominant mutations in the chloride voltage-gated channel 7 () gene and present early-onset osteoarthritis or recurrent fractures. In this study, we report a case of persistent joint pain without bone injury or underlying history.

Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics and the prognosis of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) inpatients of different renal function statuses.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 962 inpatients with DFU was conducted. The patients were divided into three groups according to their renal function statuses, and the clinical characteristics of the three groups were compared to identify differences.

[Clinical Characteristics of Diabetic Patients with Initial and Recurrent Foot Ulcers].

Objective: To explore the risk factors for the recurrence of foot ulcers by analyzing clinical characteristics of the patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) in West China Hospital, Sichuan University.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out with the clinical data of 817 DFU patients hospitalized at West China Hospital, Sichuan University between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2020.

[Levels of PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in soils near E-waste dismantling sites].

One hundred and fifty one soil samples from 125 sampling points were collected near E-waste dismantling sites and analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Total concentration of PCDD/Fs in topsoil samples ranged from 280 pg x g(-1) to 7 010 pg x g(-1) dry weight with the mean value of 1 380 pg x g(-1) dry weight. The mean value of the second layer and the deepest layer is 63% and 38% of that of top soils, respectively.
