Advances in the effects of pyrethroid exposure on child development / 国际儿科学杂志

Pyrethroids, a broad class of synthetic organic insecticides applied in daily life, are highly toxic in the water environment and can cause organisms to develop symptoms of neurotoxicity.Environmental exposure has become one of the important factors explored during child growth and development in recent years, and the exposure of pyrethroids in the environment has gradually increased, making their effects on child growth and development also highly valued.A large number of studies at home and abroad have found that pyrethroids have effects on multi system development: exposure during pregnancy can lead to intrauterine growth restriction, malformations, etc.Postnatal exposure can lead to cognitive retardation, abnormal pubertal development, and may also increase the risk of allergic diseases, wheeze, cough, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.This article provides a review of the effects of pyrethroid exposure on growth and developmental processes in children.

New insights for infection mechanism and potential targets of COVID-19: Three Chinese patent medicines and three Chinese medicine formulas as promising therapeutic approaches / 中草药·英文版

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with high pathogenicity and infectiousness has become a sudden and lethal pandemic worldwide. Currently, there is no accepted specific drug for COVID-19 treatment. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to clarify the pathogenic mechanism and develop effective therapies for patients with COVID-19. According to several reliable reports from China, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), especially for three Chinese patent medicines and three Chinese medicine formulas, has been demonstrated to effectively alleviate the symptoms of COVID-19 either used alone or in combination with Western medicines. In this review, we systematically summarized and analyzed the pathogenesis of COVID-19, the detailed clinical practice, active ingredients investigation, network pharmacology prediction and underlying mechanism verification of three Chinese patent medicines and three Chinese medicine formulas in the COVID-19 combat. Additionally, we summarized some promising and high-frequency drugs of these prescriptions and discussed their regulatory mechanism, which provides guidance for the development of new drugs against COVID-19. Collectively, by addressing critical challenges, for example, unclear targets and complicated active ingredients of these medicines and formulas, we believe that TCM will represent promising and efficient strategies for curing COVID-19 and related pandemics.

The total control rate of core competence in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (95.24% vs. 78.95%) ( P<0.05), and the teaching satisfaction rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group (100% vs. 84.21%) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Application of CBL based on UMU interactive mobile learning in the teaching of standardized training of respiratory medicine is not only conducive to improving the teaching quality, but also conducive to cultivating core competence, clinical thinking ability and problem-solving ability of the training students, with higher teaching satisfaction.

Treatment and prognosis of severe hyperbilirubinemia in full-term infants meeting exchange transfusion criteria: a multicenter retrospective study / 中华围产医学杂志

Objective:To investigate the prognosis of severe hyperbilirubinemia in full-term infants who met the exchange transfusion criteria and were treated by blood exchange transfusion and phototherapy.Methods:A total of 168 full-term infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia who met the criteria for exchange transfusion and were hospitalized in the Neonatology Department of seven tertiary hospitals in Hebei Province from June 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively included. According to the treatment protocol, they were divided into two groups: exchange transfusion group (38 cases) and phototherapy group (130 cases). Two independent sample t-test and Chi-square test were used to compare the clinical manifestations and follow-up results between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for poor prognosis. Results:Neonatal severe hyperbilirubinemia in the exchange transfusion and phototherapy group were both mainly caused by hemolytic disease [42.1%(16/38) and 29.2%(38/130)], sepsis [28.9%(11/38) and 11.5%(15/130)] and early-onset breastfeeding jaundice [15.8%(6/38) and 11.5%(15/130)]. Total serum bilirubin level on admission in the exchange transfusion group was significantly higher than that in the phototherapy group [(531.7±141.3) vs (440.0±67.4) μmol/L, t=3.870, P<0.001]. Moreover, the percentage of patients with mild, moderate and severe acute bilirubin encephalopathy in the exchange transfusion group were higher than those in the phototherapy group [15.8%(6/38) vs 3.8%(5/130), 7.9%(3/38) vs 0.8%(1/130), 13.2%(5/38) vs 0.0%(0/130); χ2=29.119, P<0.001]. Among the 168 patients, 135 were followed up to 18-36 months of age and 12 showed poor prognosis (developmental retardation or hearing impairment) with four in the exchange transfusion group (12.9%, 4/31) and eight in the phototherapy group (7.7%, 8/104). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that for full-term infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia who met the exchange transfusion criteria, phototherapy alone without blood exchange transfusion as well as severe ABE were risk factors for poor prognosis ( OR=14.407, 95% CI: 1.101-88.528, P=0.042; OR=16.561, 95% CI: 4.042-67.850, P<0.001). Conclusions:Full-term infants who have severe hyperbilirubinemia and meet the exchange transfusion criteria should be actively treated with blood exchange transfusion, especially for those with severe ABE, so as to improve the prognosis.

The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway ameliorates acute viral myocarditis in mice by regulating CD4+ T cell differentiation.

Many studies have found that abnormalities in the proportion and differentiation of CD4+ T cells (Th cells) are closely related to the pathogenesis of viral myocarditis (VMC). Our previous research indicates that the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) attenuates the inflammatory response of VMC and downregulates the expression of cytokines in Th1 and Th17 cells. This suggests that the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway likely attenuates the inflammatory response in VMC by altering Th cell differentiation. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of CAP on CD4+ T cell differentiation in VMC mice. CD4+ T cells in the spleen of VMC mice were obtained and cultured in the presence of nicotine or methyllycaconitine (MLA). Cells were harvested and analyzed for the percentage of each Th cell subset by flow cytometry and transcription factor release by Western blot. Then, we detected the effect of CAP on the differentiation of Th cells in vivo. Nicotine or MLA was used to activate and block CAP, respectively, in acute virus-induced myocarditis. Nicotine treatment increased the proportion of Th2 and Treg cells, decreased the proportion of Th1 and Th17 cells in the spleen, reduced the level of proinflammatory cytokines, and attenuated the severity of myocardium lesions and cellular infiltration in viral myocarditis. MLA administration had the opposite effect. Our result demonstrated that CAP effectively protects the myocardium from virus infection, which may be attributable to the regulation of Th cell differentiation.

Ivabradine Treatment Reduces Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis in a Murine Model of Chronic Viral Myocarditis.

This study was designed to explore the effects of ivabradine on cardiomyocyte apoptosis in a murine model of chronic viral myocarditis (CVMC). Mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with Coxsackievirus B3 at days 1, 14, and 28, respectively. On day 42, the mice were gavaged with ivabradine for 30 days until the 72nd day. The heart of infected mice was dilated and a large number of interstitial fibroblasts infiltrated into the myocardium on day 42. Compared with the untreated CVMC mice, mice treated with ivabradine showed a significant reduction in heart rate and less impairment of left ventricular function on day 72. The positive apoptosis of myocardial cells in the untreated CVMC group was significantly higher than that of the normal group and was significantly reduced after treatment with ivabradine. The expression levels of Bax and Caspase-3 in the untreated CVMC group were significantly higher than those of the normal group and were apparently reduced in the ivabradine-treated group versus the untreated CVMC group. Bcl-2 showed a high expression in the normal group and low expression in the untreated CVMC group, but its expression level in the ivabradine-treated group were higher than that of the untreated CVMC group. These results indicate that ivabradine could attenuate the expression of Caspase-3 by downregulation of Bax and upregulation of Bcl-2 to prevent the deterioration of cardiac function resulting from ventricular myocyte loss by cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Application of high time-resolved contrast-enhanced MR angiography in postoperative follow-up study of children with congenital heart diseases / 中华放射学杂志

Objective To assess the application value of high time-resolved MR angiography (TR-MRA) in postoperative follow-up study of children with congenital heart diseases. Methods Seventy-three patients (median age 6 years, range 1-20 years) with congenital heart diseases who underwent TR-MRA scan after operation were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-nine cases also were performed conventional contrast-enhanced MRA and forty-four cases were performed phase-contrast MRA. A 3D T1-weighted fast gradient-echo sequence was used for time-resolved three-dimensional MRA (10-20 dynamic data sets, less than three seconds per dynamic data set). The flow dynamics and morphology of pulmonary circulations, lung perfusion and collaterals flow direction were noted. All imaging quality was evaluated by using 5 scales. Left and right pulmonary artery flow volumes were measured and left and right pulmonary artery ratio was noted. SPSS22.0 was used in statistic analysis. The statistical analysis of comparing imaging quality was performed by using paired t-test. The intermodality agreement between TR-MRA and phase contrast in assessing left and right pulmonary perfusion was tested by Kappa coefficient. Results In 73 cases, imaging scores were over 3 and imaging quality was good enough for diagnosis. In 29 cases, there was no statistic difference between TR-MRA and conventional CE-MRA in demonstrating great vessels (P>0.05) except that CE-MRA scores(3.77 ± 0.39)was higher than TR-MRA scores(3.44 ± 0.55)of inferior vena cava (IVC). There was statistic difference(t=3.68,P=0.01)between two sequences. TR-MRA could qualitatively demonstrate the pulmonary perfusion comparing to the results of PC. In PC sequence, there were 8 cases with symmetric and 36 cases with asymmetric left and right pulmonary perfusion. In TR-MRA sequence, there were 6 cases with symmetric and 38 cases with asymmetric left and right pulmonary perfusion. There was an excellent agreement between PC and TR-MRA (Kappa=0.83,P=0.01). Conclusions TR-MRA not only supplies with high spatial resolution imaging which demonstrates postoperative great arteries anatomy and also with high temporal resolution imaging which can demonstrate the preferential or balanced pulmonary blood flow and collaterals flow direction. TR-MRA is a very important sequence in follow-up study of congenital heart disease.
