1.Advance on the neonatal sepsis
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2014;21(8):539-542
Neonatal sepsis is a systemic infection in which bacteria or fungi invade blood circulation and grow in it in the neonatal period,caused by toxin produce from bacteria or fungi.Currently sepsis is the major causing morbidity and mortality in neonatal infectious diseases,its clinical manifestation is not obvious and this brings us a range of clinical problems.In this review,we discussed these characteristics epidemiology,etiology,pathophysiology,clinical features of neonatal sepsis and septic shock in adults,to deepen the understanding of neonatal sepsis.

Objective:To study the immunomodulatory effect of extracts from Chinese marine algae, methanol extracts of thirty-nine species were assayed.Methods:The proliferation of T,B lymphocyte and cytotoxic was measured by MTT assay.Results:Among the methanol extracts of algae, 16 showed well concentration-dependent immunomodulatory effects, 6 have exhibited fine dual-immunomodulatory effects at the doses of 1-100 ?g/ml.Conclusion:These results suggest Chinese algae have different immunomodulatory effects and merit further investigation.

Objective To study expression differences of the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM ) protein in early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues in order to explore its diagnostic significance for early esophageal squa-mous cell carcinoma .Methods ATM protein expression was detected in early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues and adja-cent normal tissues by immunohistochemical SP method and the differential expression was calculated by using statistical methods . Results The positive positive expression rate of ATM protein in the early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and adjacent normal tissue were 65% and 95% respectively ,which were statistically different (P= 0 .044) .Conclusion The ATM protein ex-pression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue declined .The detection of ATM protein in esophageal squamous cell carcino-ma tissue could become a reliable method for early diagnose of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma .

The voltage-gated sodium channel subtype Nav1.7 is highly expressed in nociceptive sensory neurons and is a key pathogenic target in several human hereditary pain syndromes. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that Nav1.7 plays an important role in inflammatory, neuropathic, and nociceptive pain. Therefore, targeting Nav1.7 is a new strategy and hotspot for the development of novel analgesics. This review introduces the structure and function of Nav1.7, its regulatory role in pain, highlights the development progress of small-molecule Nav1.7 inhibitors in clinical trials, and analyzes the preclinical development of highly specific Nav1.7 inhibitors, with a view to providing reference for the development of Nav1.7 analgesic drugs.

Objective To study local and systemic immune response in an animal model treated with recombinant hIFN-α-2b-BCG instillation. Methods The MB49 orthotopic bladder cancer model in C57BL/6 mice was established and treated separately with rBCG, wild BCG, wild BCG combined with IFN-α-2b and PBS as the control. The changes of lymphocyte subgroups in peripheral blood were analyzed with FCM, and mTNF-α and mIL-12 in peripheral blood of mice were detected with ELISA.Immunohistochemistry was carried out to detect the local immune reaction, T cell subsets and FAS, in bladder cancer after being treated with rBCG or wBCG. Results The content of CD4+ T lymphocyte was up-regulated in the rBCG group. The CD4+/CD8+ ratio of 2. 63 was up-regulated than pretreatment, significantly different than that of wBCG group(P<0.05). ELISA assay showed that BCG significantly up-regulated the level of mTNF-α and mIL-12 in serum of orthotopie murine bladder cancer mice. The mTNF-α 806 pg/ml, mIL-12 860 pg/ml in rBCG group, was not significantly higher than those in wBCG group and combination group. The immunocompetent cell numbers with CD3, CD4,CD8 phenotype increased significantly in the tumor tissue of BCG treated group than the control(P<0.05). The results of CD4+ in rBCG group and the combination group, and CD8+ in rBCG group were significantly higher than that of the wBCG(P<0.05). The expression of Fas in tumor tissues treated with intravesical BCG was increased(P<0. 05). Conclusions The recombinant IFN-α-2b-BCG can retrieve the disproportion of systemic lymphocyte subgroups, and increases Th1-type factors and local Fas expression in orthotopic murine bladder cancer. The recombinant IFN-α-2b-BCG is effective in regulating local and systemic immune reaction in orthotopic murine bladder cancer model.

Purpose:
An effective biomarker for the diagnosis of breast cancer (BC) and benign breast diseases (BBD) is crucial for improving the prognosis. We investigated whether N6-methyladenosine (m6A) can be a diagnostic biomarker of BC.
Materials and Methods:
We detected the contents of peripheral blood m6A in 62 patients with BC, 41 patients with BBD, and 41 normal controls (NCs) using the colorimetric method. The relative expression of the m6A regulated genes methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) and fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) was analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Results:
m6A in peripheral blood RNA was significantly higher in patients with BC than that in patients with BBD (p < 0.001) or the NCs (p < 0.001). m6A was closely associated with the disease stage (from stage 0 to stage I-IV, p=0.003). The receiver operating characteristic curve of m6A contained an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.887 in BC, which was greater than that of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) or carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153). The combination of m6A, CEA, and CA153 improved the AUC to 0.914. The upregulated and downregulated mRNA expression of METTL14 and FTO, respectively, might contribute to the increase of m6A in patients with BC. m6A combined with METTL14 and FTO improved the AUC to 0.929 with a specificity of 97.4% in the peripheral blood of patients with BC.
Conclusion
The peripheral blood RNA of m6A might be a valuable biomarker for the diagnosis of BC.
