Background: GNE myopathy is the most common distal myopathy in China. We summarized the clinical, genetic, and pathological characteristics of 125 Chinese patients with GNE myopathy.

Methods: We collected clinical data of 21 patients diagnosed at our hospital and 104 patients from previous reports.

Infantile hemangioma (IH), the most common benign tumor in infancy, mostly arises and has rapid growth before 3 months of age. Because irreversible skin changes occur in the early proliferative stage, early medical treatment is essential to reduce the permanent sequelae caused by IH. Yet there are still no early screening biomarkers for IH before its visible emergence.

Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are at risk of incomplete regression with remnant permanent sequelae, ranging from passive waiting for spontaneous regression to active systemic administration. The application of traditional therapy involving injection of a sclerosing agent is limited due to the difficulty in achieving cosmetic improvement. This study aimed to explore a new injection method that could not only promote tumor regression but also achieve cosmetic improvement.

Background: Leigh syndrome (LS) is a rare disease caused by mitochondrial defects and has high phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity. We analyzed the clinical symptoms, neuroimaging, muscular histopathology, and genotypes of 13 Chinese LS patients with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations.

Methods: Mutations in mtDNA were identified by targeted sequencing.

Zero-Valent Iron Permeable Reactive Barrier (Fe-PRB) is a competitive and economical in-situ groundwater remediation technology in recent years, and high removal efficiencies of Cr(Ⅵ)-polluted groundwater have been realized. The present study focused on the impacting mechanism of Cr(Ⅵ) removal by Fe-PRB. Environmental condition response was revealed from kinetic view, and kinetic expression describing the removal process was determined.

CREBZF, also known as Zhangfei or SMILE, is a member of the CREB/ATF protein family. CREBZF has mainly been considered as a basic region-leucine zipper transcription factor that functions in coordination with other transcription factors and plays a role in latent HSV-1 infection, apoptosis and the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum stress and unfolded protein response. In this study, we constructed recombinant lentiviral vectors for CREBZF short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression and over-expression to improve understanding of the mechanisms regulating CREBZF.

The aim of this study was to investigate the spatiotemporal expression and regulation of GRP78 in the mouse uterus during the peri-implantation period. The GRP78 protein was mainly detected in the luminal and glandular epithelia on days 1-4 of pregnancy. On day 5 of pregnancy, the GRP78 protein was more highly observed around the implanted embryo at the implantation site.

Objective: To identify potential mutation responsible for synpolydactyly (SPD) in a large Chinese kindred and to offer genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the members of the family.

Methods: All family members were examined clinically, and blood samples were obtained for linkage analysis and mutation screening. Ultrasound examinations were conducted at 16-21 weeks.

China has suffered frequent source water contamination accidents in the past decade, which has resulted in severe consequences to the water supply of millions of residents. The origins of typical cases of contamination are discussed in this paper as well as the emergency response to these accidents. In general, excessive pursuit of rapid industrialization and the unreasonable location of factories are responsible for the increasing frequency of accidental pollution events.

The whole antral follicles were isolated from porcine ovaries and classified as follows: healthy follicles (HF), early atretic follicles (EF) and progressed atretic follicles (PF). The isolated porcine follicles were used for routine histological section and HE staining after examination by eyesight. Morphological research shows that the accuracy rate of eyesight examination for HF is 92%.
