Personal glucose meters coupled with signal amplification technologies for quantitative detection of non-glucose targets:Recent progress and challenges in food safety hazards analysis / 药物分析学报

Ensuring food safety is paramount worldwide.Developing effective detection methods to ensure food safety can be challenging owing to trace hazards,long detection time,and resource-poor sites,in addition to the matrix effects of food.Personal glucose meter(PGM),a classic point-of-care testing device,possesses unique application advantages,demonstrating promise in food safety.Currently,many studies have used PGM-based biosensors and signal amplification technologies to achieve sensitive and specific detection of food hazards.Signal amplification technologies have the potential to greatly improve the analytical performance and integration of PGMs with biosensors,which is crucial for solving the challenges associated with the use of PGMs for food safety analysis.This review introduces the basic detection principle of a PGM-based sensing strategy,which consists of three key factors:target recog-nition,signal transduction,and signal output.Representative studies of existing PGM-based sensing strategies combined with various signal amplification technologies(nanomaterial-loaded multienzyme labeling,nucleic acid reaction,DNAzyme catalysis,responsive nanomaterial encapsulation,and others)in the field of food safety detection are reviewed.Future perspectives and potential opportunities and challenges associated with PGMs in the field of food safety are discussed.Despite the need for complex sample preparation and the lack of standardization in the field,using PGMs in combination with signal amplification technology shows promise as a rapid and cost-effective method for food safety hazard analysis.

A case of febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome in children successfully treated with tocilizumab and literature review / 中华神经科杂志

Objective:To report a case of tocilizumab successfully used in a child with febrile infection-associated epilepsy syndrome (FIRES), and to provide a new idea for the treatment of FIRES in children.Methods:The diagnosis and treatment of 1 case of FIRES admitted in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University on February 15, 2021 were described, and the prognosis and follow-up of the child were evaluated. At the same time, the literatures on tocilizumab in the treatment of children′s FIRES were reviewed.Results:A 5-year-old case of FIRES was reported. The child was extremely refractory to immunotherapy and anti-seizure medicines, anesthetics and ketogenic diet. So he was treated with tocilizumab (each time 4 mg/kg) at the 36th day and 43rd day, and epileptic seizures were controlled 10 days after the 2nd doses of tocilizumab. During a follow-up of 10 months, his epileptic seizures were controlled and the cognitive behavior and speech function were well recovered. At present, only 3 cases of FIRES in children have been reported all over the world. All the seizures were well controlled and no obvious adverse reactions were observed.Conclusions:FIRES is a rare refractory epilepsy syndrome, resistant to many kinds of anti-seizure medicines or even anesthetic agents, which is difficult to treat and has poor prognosis. Preliminary trials have shown that tocilizumab is effective and well tolerated in children with FIRES. It may be a potential therapeutic modality for children with FIRES.

Efficacy and prognostic factors analysis of CT-guided 125I seeds implantation for primary hepatocellular carcinoma / 中华核医学与分子影像杂志

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors of 125I seeds implantation for primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods:From December 2011 to January 2021, 102 primary hepatocellular carcinoma patients (86 males, 16 females; median age 61 years) who underwent 125I seeds implantation from 5 hospitals in China were enrolled in this retrospective study. Local progression-free survival (LPFS), overall survival (OS) and the prognostic factors were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the distribution curve of survival time, and LPFS rate and OS rate were calculated. Log-rank test and Cox regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of survival. Results:The median follow-up time was 38 months until April 2021. The local control rate was 96.1%(98/102). The 1-, 3- and 5-year LPFS rate were 61.3%, 25.5% and 12.7%, and the 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rate were 73.9%, 39.1% and 22.6%, respectively. There were 75 patients with progressive disease, including 42 patients with intrahepatic recurrence and metastasis after seed implantation, and 55 patients died. Multivariate analyses showed that short-term efficacy complete response (CR) (hazard ratio ( HR)=0.34, 95% CI: 0.20-0.58) was protective factor related to LPFS; short-term efficacy CR ( HR=0.25, 95% CI: 0.13-0.47) was the protective factors related to OS; Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) C stage ( HR=2.33, 95% CI: 1.27-4.27), intrahepatic progression and extrahepatic metastasis ( HR=3.18, 95% CI: 1.28-7.86; HR=3.23, 95% CI: 1.27-8.21) were independent risk factors related to OS. No sever adverse effects were observed. Conclusions:125I seeds implantation is safe and effective for the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma. BCLC stage, short-term efficacy and post-implantation progression are independent factors related to survival time.

Clinical and PRRT2 gene variants analysis of three families with benign familial infantile epilepsy / 中华神经科杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical and gene variant characteristics of benign familial infantile epilepsy in generations of three families.Methods:The clinical data of the three benign familial infantile epilepsy patients with PRRT2 gene variant who were diagnosed and their family members were collected from Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University between 2018 and 2019. All coding exons from the patients and their parents were screened by targeted next-generation sequencing, and detected variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:In all the patients, a cluster of seizures was observed before one year old,but interictal clinical conditions were normal. The electroencephalograms were all normal in interictal stage. The father of proband 1 presented with convulsion onset at the age of eight months and showed remission before one year old. The grandpa, mother and uncle of proband 2 also presented with convulsion onset in their babyhood of life and showed remission before one year old. The mother of proband 3 presented with convulsion onset in their babyhood of life and showed remission before three years old. Proband 1 carried heterozygous c.937G>C variant in the PRRT2 gene which is inherited from his father. Proband 2 carried c.1075_c.1076insC variant inherited from his mother. A deletion of PRRT2 gene exon 2 was detected in both of proband 3 and her mother. The three variants had not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database.Conclusions:Benign familial infantile epilepsy is a kind of inherited epilepsy characterized by early onset of seizure in babyhood with better prognosis, a cluster of focal seizures with or without secondary generalization, and cessation of seizure mostly before two or three years of age. The variants c.937G>C, c.1075_c.1076insC and the deletion of exon 2 in the PRRT2 gene have enriched the gene variant spectrum of benign familial infantile epilepsy.

Application of early assessment and intervention in motor development of high-risk infants with cerebral palsy / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of the General Movements (GMs) in predicting the neurological outcome of high-risk infants with cerebral palsy in the early stage, and to analyze the application of the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale-Gross Motor (PDMS-GM) and Gross Motor Function Measure Scale (GMFM) in the rehabilitation assessment and intervention of high-risk infants with cerebral palsy.Methods:The gross motor function of 64 high-risk infants with cerebral palsy before treatment and after 2 months of treatment in Department of Child Rehabilitation, Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to December 2019 was evaluated using PDMS-GM and GMFM.The total percentage of PDMS-GM and GMFM before and after treatment, and the monthly relative percentage of PDMS-GM and GMFM were compared.The correlation between PDMS-GM and GMFM original scores in the writhing and fidgety movements period before treatment, and that between PDMS-GM and GMFM original scores before and after treatment were compared.High-risk infants with cerebral palsy were followed up to 1 year old, and their neurological outcome was determined according to the clinical diagnosis and evaluation results.The predictive value of GMs on the outcome of cerebral palsy was evaluated.Results:Compared with that before treatment, the total percentage of PDMS-GM and GMFM in high-risk infants with cerebral palsy increased significantly after treatment [PDMS-GM: (37.250±13.690)% vs.(20.992±10.273)%, t=-15.793, P<0.01; GMFM: (22.672±8.438)% vs.(10.601±7.890)%, t=-16.442, P<0.01]. PDMS-GM original scores in the writhing movements period and fidgety movements period before treatment were highly correlated with those of GMFM (writhing movements period: r=0.922, P<0.01; fidgety movements period: r=0.905, P<0.01). PDMS-GM original score before and after treatment were highly correlated with those of GMFM (before treatment: r=0.901, P<0.01; after treatment: r=0.801, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the monthly relative percentage of PDMS-GM and GMFM [(97.286±88.330)% vs.(76.885±43.815)%, t=-1.656, P=0.103]. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the writhing movements period to the prediction of cerebral palsy outcome were 90.7%, 82.3%, 23.4%, and 95.8%, respectively, which were 98.3%, 88.1%, 27.6% and 96.8% in the fidgety movements period, respectively.At 1-year-old follow-up, 3 cases of spastic cerebral palsy were found in a high risk with cerebral palsy, and 1 case was cramped synchronized and 2 cases were absence of fidgety movements. Conclusions:Gross motor function of high-risk infants with cerebral palsy was significantly improved after treatment compared with that before treatment, and PDMS-GM and GMFM were consistent in the assessment of gross motor function of high-risk infants with cerebral palsy in the writhing and fidgety movements period before and after treatment.In the early screening of infants at high risk of cerebral palsy, absence of fidgety movements and cramped synchronized maybe predict spastic cerebral palsy more sensitively, and fidgety movements assessment was more sensitive to predict spastic cerebral palsy outcome than writhing movements assessment.

The number of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cells was normal and the protein increased. High throughput gene testing of CSF showed HHV-6. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple symmetry damage in the bilateral thalamus, brainstem, and cerebellum. The symptoms improved after the treatment of glucocorticoids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasmapheresis.Conclusions:ANE is a rare severe encephalopathy, the characteristic imaging change of which is symmetry multifocal cerebral damage, especially in the bilateral thalamus. ANE should be considered for patients with frequent convulsions and disturbance of consciousness after virus infection.

125I seed implantation for early stage non-small cell lung cancer—analysis of clinical efficacy and prognosis factors / 中华放射医学与防护杂志

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of radioactive 125I seed implantation in the treatment of unresectable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in order to provide data for clinical practice and relevant research. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the data of 39 patients with early-stage NSCLC who received CT-guided radioactive 125I seed implantation from Dec 2010 to Dec 2018 in multiple hospitals.The seed implantation process consisted of preoperative planning and design, CT-guided puncture, seed implantation, and postoperative evaluation and dose verification.The efficacy and complications of the treatment were analyzed.The clinical efficacy was evaluated by adopting the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (v1.1) and the adverse reactions were evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0). Results:All the patients were 70 years old on average (51-85). The median lesion diameter was 2.7 cm (1.1-6.0 cm), the median seed activity was 0.7 mCi (0.6-0.8 mCi), while the median follow-up duration was 29 months (3-97 months). Meanwhile, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall local control rates were 89.5%, 79%, and 79%, respectively, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 100%, 74.8%, and 49.9%, respectively.Local recurrence and distant metastasis were the main causes of failure, accounting for 17.9% (7 cases) each.The incidence of pneumothorax was 56.4% (22 cases), among which nine cases (23.1%) required invasive closed thoracic drainage.Only 1 case of grade-2 radiation pneumonia (2.6%) was observed, with no other adverse reactions such as dermatoses, esophagitis, or myelitis being discovered.As indicated by univariate analysis, the patients with KPS scores of 80-90, pathological type of adenocarcinoma, T stage of T 1-2, and D90>180 Gy exhibited better local control ( χ2=6.202, P<0.05). Meanwhile, high D90 was also associated with a higher survival rate ( χ2=6.907, P<0.05). Conclusions:Radioactive 125I seed implantation is a safe and effective treatment for unresectable early-stage NSCLC.In cases where external beam radiotherapy is not available, radioactive 125I seed implantation can be considered as one of the treatment options.Pneumothorax is the most common complication of radioactive 125I seed implantation, and adenocarcinoma (pathological type) and higher values of D90 are predictors of better local control.

MFSD8 gene mutation and clinical characteristics of a family with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 7 / 中华神经科杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and mutation of MFSD8 gene in a family with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type7 (CLN7).Methods:The clinical data of a CLN7 patient and her family from the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in January 2018 were reviewed and analyzed. Whole exome sequencing of second-generation sequencing was used to analyze gene mutation results.Results:The proband, a five years and nine months old girl, admitted to the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University with the chief complaint of "intermittent seizures for seven months". She had the first seizure at the age of five years and two months, and different types of generalized tonic-clonic and atypical absence seizures were found. At the age of five years and nine months, she was admitted to the hospital with mild mental deterioration. She had normal motor and physical development. Ophthalmological evaluation revealed macular degeneration. The video electroencephalography revealed multifocal spikes or spike-and-wave, prominent in the anterior fronto-temporal regions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed cerebellar atrophy. Compound heterozygous mutations c.553 (exon 6) G>A and c.1391 (exon 13) C>T were found on her MFSD8 gene, supporting the diagnosis of CLN7. Each of her parent carried one of the mutations, and c.553 (exon 6) G>A was a new mutation. Her elder brother had the first seizure at the age of 6 years, with motor and mental deterioration as well as visual impairment. MRI revealed generalized cerebral atrophy. He had the same compound heterozygous mutations with his sister. No pathogenic mutation was found in her younger brother.Conclusions:CLN7 is a rare neurodegenerative disease, the main clinical features of which are epileptic seizures, progressive motor intelligence regression, visual loss, cranial MRI suggesting brain atrophy, and binocular macular degeneration. MFSD8 gene heterozygous mutations c.553G>A (p.V185I) and c.1391C>T (p.A464V) are the genetic etiology of this proband.

Mediating effect of mental health on psychological capital and work engagement in subway employees / 中国职业医学

OBJECTIVE: To understand the mental health status of subway employees, and to explore the relationship among their mental health, psychological capital and work engagement. METHODS: Using the typical sampling method, a total of 2 758 subway employees from a rail transit group Co., Ltd in a city were selected as the study subjects. The Symptom Check List 90, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were used to investigate the mental health, psychological capital and work engagement of the study subjects. RESULTS: The screening positive rate of mental disorder of the study subjects was 15.6%(431/2 758), and the median scores of mental health, psychological capital, and work engagement were 108, 109, and 62 points, respectively. The mental health scores of the study subjects were negatively correlated with their psychological capital and work engagement scores [Spearman correlation coefficient(r_S) were-0.55 and-0.57, respectively, P<0.01]. The psychological capital score was positively correlated with the work engagement score(r_S=0.70, P<0.01).Mental health played a partial mediating role in the influence of psychological capital on work engagement(mediating effect was 0.07, 95% correlation coefficient: 0.06-0.08, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The mental health status of the subway employees is good. Psychological capital of subway employees can not only directly affect work engagement, but also indirectly affect work engagement by influencing mental health.

Objective To evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a booster dose of live attenua-ted measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine for 4-year-old children and to provide references for reasonable arrangement of MMR immunization schedule. Methods Children aged 4 years (54-60 months) old were recruited and divided into three groups as follows: Group 8 months MR [receiving live attenuated measles and rubella(MR) vaccination at 8 months and MMR vaccination at 18 months],Group 8 months MMR(re-ceiving MMR vaccination at both 8 and 18 months) and Group 12 months MMR(receiving MMR vaccination at both 12 and 22 months). Active follow-up was conducted for safety evaluation after immunization of all subjects with the booster dose of MMR vaccine. Blood samples were collected before and 35 days after vacci-nation and analyzed by ELISA to detect serum antibodies to measles,mumps and rubella. Results A total of 514 subjects were enrolled in this study of safety evaluation and 469 of them received serologic detection of antibodies twice. The rate of adverse reactions following vaccination was 17.12% (general reactions accoun-ted for 94.21%) and no severe adverse reactions were reported. No significant difference in the rates of ad-verse reactions was found among the three groups (χ2=4.82, P=0.090). Subjects who were seropositive for measles, mumps and rubella increased after immunization with MMR vaccine, accounting for 100%, 99.79% and 99.79%,respectively. Geometric mean concentrations (GMC) against measles, mumps and rubella in all subjects were 1.35,3.05 and 2.13 times higher than what they were before the immunization. Levels of antibodies to measles,mumps and rubella were all increased significantly in the three groups after immunization with the booster dose of MMR vaccine (Fisher Exact Test, P=0.000). Conclusion The booster dose of MMR vaccine increases the levels of serum antibodies in children aged 4 years old with high safety. It suggests that two doses of MMR vaccine should be encouraged in the immunization program in China.

Progress in etiology,diagnosis and treatment of late onset epileptic spasms / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Epileptic spasms (ES)as an independent form of seizure,exist not only in infantile spasms but also in other epilepsy syndromes. Most ES start within 1 year of age and may also develop after 1 year of age. The onset of ES after 1 year is referred to as late onset epileptic spasms (LOS). The etiology,clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treat-ment and prognosis of LOS are different from infantile spasms and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Now,the progress in etiology,diagnosis and treatment of LOS were reviewed.

Behavioral factors for predicting severity of enuresis and treatment responses in different compliance groups receiving behavioral therapy

Objective: To investigate behavioral factors for predicting severity of nocturnal enuresis and compare response rates in different compliance groups of behavioral interventions

Methods: Three hundred eleven children diagnosed with nocturnal enuresis were enrolled. This study was conducted at Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to the Capital Medical University from September 2016 to December 2016. Correlation of severity of enuresis and behavioral factors was investigated. All patients were treated with desmopressin based on behavioral interventions. After two month treatment, the patients were grouped according to the compliance of behavioral therapy. Then response rates in different compliance groups were compared

Results: Multivariate analysis revealed stool frequency, drinking water before going to bed, awaking the child to toilet at night, and appetite were independent risk factors affecting the severity of enuresis. The complete response rate of enuresis and partial response rate in full compliance group are higher than those of partial compliance and non-compliance group [21.9% vs 11.3%, 78.1% vs 59.8%; 21.9% vs0%, 78.131 vs 49.1%; P<0.01]

The complete response rate and partial response rate of partial compliance group are higher than those of the non-compliance group [P<0.01]

Conclusions: Stool frequency, drinking water before going to bed, awaking the child to toilet at night, and appetite are independent predictive factors affecting the severity of enuresis. Good compliance of behavioral interventions may have a crucial role for better therapeutic outcomes
