Recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Children are also at high risk of novel coronavirus infection. However, as children are in the developmental stage and their phylogeny is not yet complete, adult guidelines cannot be directly copied in the diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children. Therefore, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University organized relevant professionals of Children’s Hospital. Based on the "Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for SARS-CoV-2 Infection (Trial 10th Edition)" issued by the General Office of the National Health Commission of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the diagnosis and treatment plan suggestions for children with novel coronavirus infection in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University were formulated by referring to several instructive diagnosis and treatment plans and combining our hospital’s experience in treating children with SARS-CoV-2 infection. This recommendation makes a concise and practical description from the perspectives of epidemiology, clinical manifestations, clinical typing, treatment and nursing of children infected with SARS-CoV-2, and also makes recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of high-risk factors and complications for the reference of front-line clinical pediatricians so as to achieve timely and reasonable diagnosis and treatment of children infected with SARS-CoV-2. Early identification and active treatment of high-risk and critically patients can minimize the harm caused by complications.

G protein-coupled receptor 35 attenuates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis by reprogramming cholesterol homeostasis in hepatocytes

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. Fat accumulation "sensitizes" the liver to insult and leads to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). G protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) is involved in metabolic stresses, but its role in NAFLD is unknown. We report that hepatocyte GPR35 mitigates NASH by regulating hepatic cholesterol homeostasis. Specifically, we found that GPR35 overexpression in hepatocytes protected against high-fat/cholesterol/fructose (HFCF) diet-induced steatohepatitis, whereas loss of GPR35 had the opposite effect. Administration of the GPR35 agonist kynurenic acid (Kyna) suppressed HFCF diet-induced steatohepatitis in mice. Kyna/GPR35 induced expression of StAR-related lipid transfer protein 4 (STARD4) through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, ultimately resulting in hepatic cholesterol esterification and bile acid synthesis (BAS). The overexpression of STARD4 increased the expression of the BAS rate-limiting enzymes cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily A member 1 (CYP7A1) and CYP8B1, promoting the conversion of cholesterol to bile acid. The protective effect induced by GPR35 overexpression in hepatocytes disappeared in hepatocyte STARD4-knockdown mice. STARD4 overexpression in hepatocytes reversed the aggravation of HFCF diet-induced steatohepatitis caused by the loss of GPR35 expression in hepatocytes in mice. Our findings indicate that the GPR35-STARD4 axis is a promising therapeutic target for NAFLD.

Effect of CXC chemokine receptor 7 on cell cycle of neuronal cells in ischemic stroke / 中华危重病急救医学

Objective:To investigate the function and mechanism of CXC chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) in neuronal cells of ischemic stroke.Methods:The expression of CXCR7 in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells was interfered by small interfering RNA (si-RNA) technique. Oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injury model was constructed in SH-SY5Y cells. CXCR7 protein expression and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The protein expression of CXCR7 and Akt signaling pathway was detected by Western blotting.Results:After 6 hours of OGD/R, the expression of CXCR7 was significantly decreased compared with OGD/R 0 hour (CXCR7/GAPDH: 0.483±0.098 vs. 1.000±0.000 by Western blotting and 0.686±0.0524 vs. 1.000±0.000 by FCM, both P < 0.01), cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase (1.190±0.040 vs. 1.000±0.000, P < 0.01). After CXCR7 si-RNA interference with SH-SY5Y cells, OGD/R was constructed again for 6 hours. Compared with negative control group (si-NC group) under the same environment, the expression of CXCR7 and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) was significantly decreased (CXCR7/GAPDH: 0.471±0.051 vs. 1.000±0.000, p-Akt/GAPDH: 0.616±0.027 vs. 1.000±0.000, both P < 0.001) and cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase (1.105±0.033 vs. 1.000±0.000, P < 0.05). Conclusion:The CXCR7 could regulate the cycle of neuronal cells in ischemic stroke through Akt signaling pathway, which has a protective effect on neuronal cells.

Epileptic spastic seizures, generalized seizures, partial seizures and myoclonic seizures as the first onset were reported in 13 cases (37.1%), 11 cases (31.4%), 10 cases (28.6%), and 1 case (2.9%), respectively.There were 15 cases (43.9%) of flexion type, 11 cases (30.4%) of extension type and 9 cases (25.7%) of mixed type.Spastic seizures can be presented as genera-lized or focal seizures.Among the 35 cases of LOS, 12 cases (34.3%) had normal EEG background, 18 cases (51.4%) had slow EEG background, and 5 cases (14.3%) had high EEG irregularity.Three cases were in accor-dance with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and the other 32 cases were not in accordance with the defined epileptic syndrome.Eighteen cases were treated with antiepileptic drugs, and sodium channel blockers were added in 9 cases; 17 cases were treated with glucocorticoid.Eight cases did not have seizures at the last follow-up.There were 17 children with seizure reduction ≥ 50%, 3 cases with seizure reduction < 50%, and 7 cases with no reduction of seizure.Conclusions:LOS is mostly symptomatic and often associated with other types of seizures.Most of cases do not have high irregularity in the EEG, and the focal discharges are mainly in the temporal region or frontotemporal region, with refractory epilepsy mainly.The onset age, etiology and EEG characteristics of LOS differ from those of West syndrome, which should be detected and treated as soon as possible to improve the prognosis in pediatric patients.

Research progress of CCL20-CCR6 axis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in breast cancer / 国际外科学杂志

CCL20 and CCR6 are chemokines produced by a variety of cells. CCL20 and CCR6 combine to stimulate a series of downstream pathways, participate in the occurrence and development of various malignant tumors, and also play an important role in the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer and the process of chemotherapy resistance. Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) is a key step in the process of tumor cell metastasis, which is characterized by loss of cell adhesion, down-regulation of E-cherherin expression, up-regulation of mesenchymal markers and fibrinectin expression, and enhancement of cell motor ability and invasion ability. This article reviews the research of CCL20-CCR6 biological axis and EMT on invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells.

Service quality improvement in hospital physical examination centers based on perceived service quality theory / 中华健康管理学杂志

Objective:To obtain an accurate understanding of the true perceptions and potential needs of physical examination population on the services provided by the health management center, so as to improve the quality of the services provided.Methods:All of 250 subjects were randomly selected from those who underwent physical examinations in the health management center of the second affiliated hospital of Dalian medical university. Based on the perceived service quality theory, the Servqual model scale was to evaluate the service quality with five dimensions and 25 items for tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. This measure can be used in service quality evaluation, evaluation of physical examinations to the expectations of service quality, and perceived value in the screening, and computing service quality measurement value (SQ). A two-dimensional quadrant diagram was used to analyze the results of the survey.Results:A total of 234 valid questionnaires were collected with an effective recovery rate of 93.6%. The mean age of the 234 physical examinees was 42.0±7.3 years, including 114 males (48.7%) and 120 females (51.3%). The results of the Servqual scale showed that SQ was -0.44, expectation was 4.45, and perceived value was 4.01. Of the 25 evaluation items, only 1 evaluation item (complete convenience of services of the health management center) SQ was positive, while the other 24 evaluation items were all negative. The average perceived value of service quality of the 25 evaluation items were higher than 3.5. As per the two-dimensional quadrant diagram analysis, 7 items in quadrantⅠwere in the “charm” area, and the expectation of the medical and perceived values were higher than average; 6 items located in quadrant Ⅱ were in the “surprise” area, and the medical expectation and perception values were higher than average and below average; 7 items in quadrant Ⅲ were in the “potential” area, while the expectation of the physical examination and perception values were lower than average; 5 items were in the quadrant Ⅳ “region” area, while physical examination expectations than average perception value is lower than the average.Conclusion:The expectations of physical examinees based on each attribute of the service in the health management center of our hospital is high, and there is a gap between the perceived value and the expected value. Therefore, the service level should be improved according to the four regions in the two-dimensional quadrant diagram to enhance the brand competitiveness of the health management center.
