Analysis of related factors of behavioral problems in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with behavioral problems in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia. METHODS: Random sampling is utilized to obtain a sample of 90 patients. The behavioral problems of the patients are detected by Achenbach Children's Behavior Scale. Parental emotional problems are investigated by the Self-Rating Depression Scale and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. RESULTS: The results demonstrate that the detection rate of behavioral problems in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is 53.3% (48/90). Among these behavioral problems, an abnormal rate is higher in the four dimensions: thinking, violation of discipline, social interaction, and aggression. The anxiety and depression scores of caregivers are statistically higher in the abnormal group than in the normal group. The results of the multivariate analysis show that the anxiety degree of the parents had a significant impact on the behavior of the children. CONCLUSIONS: Children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia are facing the issues of high rates of behavioral problems. Parents of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia had higher levels of anxiety and depression than parents of normal children. The anxiety and depressive state of mind of parents or caregivers had a significant impact on the behavior of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia.

Application of interatrial shunt device in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

@#Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe, progressive disease leading to right ventricular failure and finally death. Lung transplantation is recommended for PAH patients who do not respond to targeted drug combination therapy or World Health Organization functional class (WHO FC) Ⅲ or Ⅳ. However, only 3% of PAH patients can recieve the lung transplantation. A novel implantable interatrial shunt device (ISD) can create a relatively fixed right-to-left shunt established by balloon atrial septostomy (BAS). The device may decompress the right sided chambers, facilitate left heart filling, improve organ perfusion and reduce the likelihood of syncope, acute pulmonary hypertensive crisis and death. The systemic oxygen transport improves despite hypoxemia. Implantation is simple, feasible and safe, and the X-ray time and operation time are short. There is no severe complication or thrombosis during the mid-term follow-up of the clinical studies and the device remained patent. The syncope symptoms, six-minute walk distance, cardiac index and systemic oxygen transport improve significantly in the patients. ISD may be currently the last alternative treatment to improve symptoms and prolong survival in currently drug-resistant patients with severe PAH.

Efficacy and Safety of Cladribine-based Intensified Conditioning Regimen in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients with High-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy, safety and the risk factors affecting prognosis of high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated by cladribine-based intensified conditioning regimen.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 28 patients with high-risk AML treated by cladribine in combination with busulfan plus cyclophosphamide (BuCy) intensified conditioning regimen before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University from October 2016 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The overall survival (OS) rate, cumulative progression-free survival (PFS) rate, relapse rate, non-relapse mortality (NRM), regimen related toxicity (RRT) and risk factors affecting prognosis of the patients were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The 1-year OS and PFS of the patients after implantation was (78.8±8.6)% and (79.8±8.1)%, while the 1-year cumulative relapse rate and NRM of the patients was 9.3% and 22.0%, respectively. The 1-year expected OS of MRD- high-risk patients before HSCT was 100%. The 1-year expected OS and PFS of the patients in pre-transplant relapse group was (46.9±18.7)% and (50.0±17.7)%, respectively. The incidence of I/II grade RRT was 39.3%. NO III/IV grade RRT were found in 28 patients. Multivariate analysis showed that pre-transplant relapse was the independent risk factor affecting OS and PFS of the patients.@*CONCLUSION@#The intensified conditioning regimen of cladribine in combination with BuCy can reduce the relapse rate of high-risk AML transplantation, and its RRT is mild, exhibiting good safety. MRD- high-risk patients before HSCT can achieve better transplant benefits, but the prognosis of patients with relapse before transplantation is not significantly improved. Therefore, for non-relapsed high-risk AML patients, this intensified conditioning regimen deserves to be considered.

Comprehensive genetic diagnosis of patients with Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) and pathogenicity analysis of splice site variants in the DMD gene / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are caused by mutations in the DMD gene. The aim of this study is to identify pathogenic DMD variants in probands and reduce the risk of recurrence of the disease in affected families. Variations in 100 unrelated DMD/BMD patients were detected by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Pathogenic variants in DMD were successfully identified in all cases, and 11 of them were novel. The most common mutations were intragenic deletions (69%), with two hotspots located in the 5' end (exons 2-19) and the central of the DMD gene (exons 45-55), while point mutations were observed in 22% patients. Further, c.1149+1G>A and c.1150-2A>G were confirmed by hybrid minigene splicing assay (HMSA). This two splice site mutations would lead to two aberrant DMD isoforms which give rise to severely truncated protein. Therefore, the clinical use of MLPA, NGS, and HMSA is an effective strategy to identify variants. Importantly, eight embryos were terminated pregnancies according to prenatal diagnosis and a healthy boy was successfully delivered by preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Early and accurate genetic diagnosis is essential for prenatal diagnosis/PGD to reduce the risk of recurrence of DMD in affected families.

@# Objective To investigate the relationship between interleukin 10 (IL-10) -592 (rs1800872) and -819 (rs1800871) promoter genetic polymorphisms and the susceptibility of antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ADLI). Methods A case-control study was conducted. Epidemiology survey data and peripheral blood samples were obtained from the patients. Two IL-10 gene polymorphisms (-592 A/C and 819 C/T) were genotyped with PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) in Chinese Han ADLI subjects (n=180) and sex matched by frequency matching in control subjects (n=180). Results No significant differences in genotypes of IL-10 -592 site and IL-10 -819 site between ADLI group and that of the control group were noticed (all P>0.05). The mutant alleles -592 C of IL-10 gene polymorphism was significantly higher in ADLI subjects compared to controls, and in dominant model, the frequency of CC+AC genotype was 1.62 higher among the cases than controls (all P<0.05). Significant difference in allele -819 C/T between the ADLI group and the control group were not found (P=0.190). The polymorphisms at -819 C/T and -592 A/C variants of IL-10 gene were found to be good linkage disequilibrium. The CC haplotype represent genetic risk factor (OR=1.37, 95% CI: 1.02-1.85) and CA haplotype represent genetic protect factor (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.34-0.70) for ADLI in the subjects. Conclusions The polymorphisms in IL-10 gene -592 A/C and -819 C/T are associated with ADLI.

Objective: To study the relationship between plasma levels of Neutrophil gelatinase- associated lipocalin (NGAL), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9), hs-CRP, IL-1β and the severity of coronary stenosis in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients without kidney disease; to explore the ability for NGAL discriminating severe coronary stenosis. Methods: Our research included in 2 groups: STEMI group, n=124 patients admitted in our hospital from 2014-01 to 2017-03 and Control group, n=124 subjects without obvious coronary stenosis. According to SYNTAX score, the patients were divided into another set of 2 groups: High score group, patients with SYNTAX score ≥ 33, n=26 and Low score group, patients with SYNTAX score < 33, n = 98. Relationship between plasma levels of NGAL, MMP-9, hs-CRP, IL-1β and the severity of coronary stenosis were studied by Spearman correlation analysis; the ability for NGAL discriminating severe coronary stenosis was examined by ORC curve; the influencing factors for SYNTAX score were determined by Logistic regression analysis. Results: Compared with Control group, STEMI group had increased plasma levels of NGAL, MMP-9, hs-CRP, all P < 0.01,while IL-1β was similar between 2 groups, P=0.272. NGAL was positively related to MMP-9 (r=0.757, P<0.01), SYNTAX score (r=0.616, P<0.01) and IL-1β (r=0.185, P<0.05). Compared with Low score group, High score group showed the higher plasma levels of NGAL, MMP-9, both P<0.01, while the lower LVEF, P<0.01. The area under ROC curve for NGAL discriminating severe coronary stenosis was 0.881 (95% Cl 0.813-0.949, P<0.01) which was greater than MMP-9 [0.799 (95% Cl 0.709-0.890, P<0.01)] and hs-CRP [0.446 (95% Cl 0.306-0.587, P=0.400)]. Multivariate regression analysis presented that plasma NGAL level was independently related to high SYNTAX score [OR=1.115, 95% Cl (1.107-1.123), P<0.01]. Conclusion: STEMI patients had increased plasma levels of NGAL, MMP-9 and hs-CRP; NGAL had better ability for discriminating severe coronary stenosis than MMP-9 and hs-CRP. NGAL as a new biomarker should be helpful for risk stratification in STEMI patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and carotid atherosclerosis and its related indicators in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A total of 101 T2DM patients were divided into T2DM group (A group, n=52) and T2DM with carotid artery atherosclerosis group (B group, n=49) according to whether complicated with carotid artery atherosclerosis, and 50 normal healthy persons were used as the normal group (C group , n=50). The TSP-1 and other clinical indicators were detected including fasting blood sugar (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fibrinogen (Fib) and homocysteine (homocysteine). The differences between TSP-1 and other related indicators were analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and body mass index (BMI) between the 3 groups (P>0.05). The level of systolic blood pressure (SBP) was significantly higher in group B than that of group A and group C (P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between group A and group C (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in TC, TG and HDL-C between three groups (P>0.05). The values of TSP-1 and Hcy were increased sequentially in group B, group A and group C (P <0.05). There were significant differences in FPG, HbA1c, Fib, FINS and LDL-C between three groups (P<0.05). TSP-1 was positively correlated with FPG, FINS, HbA1c, Fib and Hcy (r= 0.585, 0.341, 0.701, 0.409 and 0.351, P < 0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that TSP-1 was affected by FINS, HbA1c and Fib, and HbA1c was more important. Conclusion TSP-1 is associated with the occurrence and development of diabetic macrovascular complications. It has good clinical value for early detection, early treatment and delaying the progress of diabetic macrovascular diseases.
