Risk factors and prediction model of thrombocytopenia in children with patent ductus arteriosus after transca-theter closure / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective:To explore the risk factors of thrombocytopenia in children with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) after transcatheter closure, and to establish a prediction model of thrombocytopenia after transcatheter closure of PDA.Methods:A total of 39 PDA children with thrombocytopenia after transcatheter closure treated in Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from November 2016 to January 2020 were selected.During the same period, 138 PDA children without thrombocytopenia after transcatheter closure were included in the control group. Logistic regression model was used to explore the possible risk factors of thrombocytopenia after transcatheter closure in PDA children, and a random forest model was established to predict the occurrence of thrombocytopenia after transcatheter closure of PDA. Results:After transcatheter closure of PDA, children developed thrombocytopenia within 1 to 7 days, and the platelet count recovered within 2 to 22 days. Logistic regression model suggested that the diameter of pulmonary artery end of arterial catheter ( OR=9.54, 95% CI: 2.08-48.84, P=0.004)and preoperative platelet count( OR=0.99, 95% CI: 0.98-0.99, P=0.001)were correlated with the occurrence of thrombocytopenia after transcatheter closure of PDA.The random forest model indicated that PDA inner diameter was the most important factor for predicting the occurrence of thrombocytopenia after transcatheter closure of PDA. Conclusions:A large diameter of arterial duct is an important risk factor and increased preoperative platelet count is a protective factor for thrombocytopenia after transcatheter closure of PDA.Diameter is of the greatest significance in predicting the occurrence of thrombocytopenia after transcatheter closure of PDA.

Case report of congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ia combined with dilated cardiomyopathy / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Clinical data and follow-up of a case of congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ia (CDG-Ia) combined with dilated cardiomyopathy admitted to the Department of Cardiology, Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.The 5-year-old female patient was admitted in December 2016 due to recu-rrent shortness of breath for 2 months.Clinical symptoms and signs included repeated attacks of shortness of breath, physical retardation, malnutrition, binocular esotropia, multiple episodes of hypoglycemia, hepatosplenomegaly, hypotonia and other multi-system damages.Cardiac echocardiography suggested the feature of dilated cardiomyopathy, including the significant enlargement of the left ventricle, and decreased systolic function.Genetic testing revealed a compound heterozygous mutation in the PMM2 gene, and as a result, the patient was diagnosed as CDG-Ia.The patient′s condition improved after symptomatic treatments such as Cedilanid, Dopamine, Dobutamine, Furosemide, as well as support treatments like myocardium nutrition, blood sugar maintenance, liver protection, etc.After discharge, the patient was given oral Digoxin, Betaloc, Captopril and diuretics, and hypoglycemia-controlling agents.The patient was followed up every 3-6 months.After more than 2 years of follow-up, the heart function and heart enlargement gradually returned to normal.During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 outbreak, self-withdrawal continued for 2 months.Re-examinations showed decreased cardiac function and enlarged left ventricle again.Medications were resumed again, and the patient was followed up closely.This case report suggested that CDG-Ia may be associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, and the cardiac phenotype may be improved by symptomatic supportive treatment.

Correlation between SLAMF6 expression and perforin and granzyme B on circulating CD8 +T cells and the clinical significance in patients with severe aplastic anemia / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective:To explore the correlation between the expression of signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family 6 (SLAMF6) on peripheral blood CD8 +T cells and perforin and granzyme B and the clinical significance in patients with newly diagnosed severe aplastic anemia(SAA). Methods:The indicators of blood routine and bone marrow and peripheral blood samples of 32 newly diagnosed SAA patients admitted to Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2016 to June 2019 were collected for retrospective analysis. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B on samples CD8 +T cell before therapy and 6 months after therapy (11 cases received transplantation, 21 cases received immunosuppressive therapy [IST]). Spearman correlation analysis was performed to determine the association between clinical indicators and laboratory test results. The expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B was also detected in 10 healthy people (normal group) and 13 myelodysplastic syndromes/paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (MDS/PNH) patients (MDS/PNH group). Results:(1) At diagnosis: the expression of SLAMF6 was significantly lower in the SAA group than that in the normal group and the MDS/PNH group ([56.40±6.37]% vs [84.34±5.81]% and [82.24±4.98]% (both P<0.001]). The expression of perforin was significantly higher in the SAA group (32.73±8.46) than that in the normal control group (23.75%±5.10%), and the MDS/PNH group (26.12%±5.53%) (both P<0.05). The expression of granzyme B was also significantly higher in the SAA group (36.23%±7.94%) than that in the normal control group (21.67%±5.05%) and the MDS/PNH group (21.79%±5.10%) (both P<0.001). The expression of SLAMF6 was positively correlated with the hemoglobin ( r=0.804), and reticulocyte absolute values ( r=0.656) in peripheral blood, percentage of granulocytes ( r=0.643) and erythrocytes ( r=0.622) in bone marrow of SAA patients (all P<0.05). Expression of SLAMF6 was negatively correlated with perforin ( r=-0.792) and granzyme B ( r=-0.908) on CD8 +T cells in patients with SAA (both P<0.001). (2) After treatment: the expression of SLAMF6 in peripheral blood CD8 +T cells of 30 surviving patients was higher than pre-treatment ([79.19±12.69]% vs [56.40±6.37]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than pre-treatment level (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 11 transplanted patients was higher than before transplantation ([86.54±3.75]% vs [56.40±7.35]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than before transplantation (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 12 IST-respond patients was higher than that before treatment, while the perforin and granzyme B levels were lower than pre-treatment (all P<0.05). The post-treatment expressions of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B were similar as before treatment levels in 7 IST-unrespond patients (all P>0.05). Conclusion:SLAMF6 is significantly down-regulated on CD8 +T cells in newly diagnosed SAA, negatively correlated with the effective factors of CD8 +T cells, which might participate in the immune regulatory of CD8 +T cells as a negative regulatory factor in patients with SAA. The SLAMF6 is significantly up-regulated after hematopoietic recovery, while there is no significant change in treatment-unrespond patients, which could thus serve as an useful diagnostic and therapeutic index of patients with SAA.

Clinical manifestations and genetics research progress of congenital heart disease with neurodevelopmental disorders in children / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Recent studies have found that children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including cognitive, adaptive, motor, speech and autism spectrum disorders.Structural and functional neuroimaging has indicated that brain abnormalities in children with CHD might be caused by an in utero developmental insult.Specific genetic abnormalities, particularly copy number variants(CNVs), have been increasingly implicated in both CHD and NDDs.Variations in genes involved in apolipoprotein E production, the Wnt signaling pathway, and histone modification, as well as in the 1q21.1, 16p13.1-11 and 8p23.1 genetic loci, are associated with CHD and NDDs.Understanding these associations is important for risk stratification, disease classification, improving screening and pharmacologic management of individuals with CHD.

Objective@#To reveal the related factors of inhibitors and differences ofhemorrhage and joint disease before and after the production of inhibitors in children with hemophilia A (HA) .@*Methods@#Retrospective analyses of the clinical data of 381 children with HA under the age of 16 registered in the Registration Management Center of Hemophilia in Henan Provincial from January 2015 to August 2018.@*Results@#A total of the 381 children were enrolled with 116 (30.4%) mild, 196 (51.4%) moderate, and 69 (18.1%) severe cases; 54 patients (14.2%) had inhibitors, including 22 high and 32 low titer inhibitors. Positive family history was positively associated with inhibitors[P<0.001, OR=3.299 (95%CI 1.743-5.983) ], and high-intensity exposure was associated with inhibitors[P=0.002, OR=2.587 (95%CI 1.414-4.731) ]. High-intensity exposure was associated with high titer inhibitor production[P=0.001, OR=8.689 (95%CI 2.464-30.638) ], and high-intensity exposure increased the risk of high titer inhibitors in HA patients. After inhibitors occurred in 54 patients with HA, the rates of overall joint annual bleeding (z=-3.440, P=0.001) and traumatic annual bleeding (z=-2.232, P=0.026) increased, but the rates of the annual joint bleeding (z=-1.342, P=0.180) and spontaneous annual bleeding (z=-1.414, P=0.157) remained to be not statistically significant. The joint ultrasound score did not change significantly after the inhibitor information (z=-0.632, P=0.527) .@*Conclusions@#Positive family history and high-intensity exposure could increase the risk of F Ⅷ inhibitors in HA patients, and high-intensity exposure increased the risk of high titer inhibitors. The rates of the overall joint annual bleeding and traumatic annual bleeding increased after the inhibitor information.

Attention to plant sterols: a novel risk factor for residual risk assessment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease / 中华检验医学杂志

Plant sterols are a class of compounds naturally produced by plants and structurally similar to cholesterol. For human, plant sterols can only be obtained from food and cannot be utilized directly. With the development of gas chromatography technology and in-depth research on the molecular mechanisms of rare diseases, plant sterols have been found to play important roles in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)and become a residual risk factor after statin therapy. As a novel metabolic marker, plant sterols can reflect steady state the imbalance of the cholesterol and the increase of the cholesterol absorption within the human body, and is expected to become a new risk factor for ASCVD residual risk assessment.

Progress of therapy for pediatric dliated cardiomyopathy / 国际儿科学杂志

Pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy( PDCM) is not only associated with infection,metabolism and other factors, but also a congenital cardiomyopathy. PDCM echocardiography ( ultrasonic cardiogram ) showed a severe enlargement of the left ventricle or double ventricle,with decreased left ventricle ejection con-traction. Clinical onset of disease concealment,often manifested as refractory heart failure,arrhythmia and sudden death( heart function often reached III～IV level) . The prognosis of the disease is poor,and mortality and mor-bidity are high,which may be the main cause of heart transplantation in children. Over the past three decades, treatment of left ventricular dysfunction has been the focus of research on adult cardiomyopathy,and treatment of PDCM has mostly extended from the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy in adults. This article will provide the guidance of adult patients with cardiac dilation therapy,and is combined with recent research at home and abroad to illustrate the latest research and experience of PDCM treatment,and to explore the progress of PDCM treat-ment in recent years.
