1.Treatment strategies for children with hematonosis and multi-drug resistant bacteria infection
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;30(15):1124-1127
Children with hematological diseases usually accompanied by low autoimmune function,and repeated chemotherapy exacerbated the damage to their immune system and hematopoietic function.Those lead to high incidence of nosocomial infection,most of infection were caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria and fungi.The major infections in hematological children are the following:multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli/Klebsiella pneumonia bacteria;multi-drug resistance Pseudomonas and Acinetobacte;Methicillin-resistant coagulase negative Staphylococcus and aureus;multi-drug resistance Enterococcus faecium.This review presents updated treatment strategies from the published clinical literature and provides recommendations for clinical treatment of multi-drug resistant bacteria in children with hematonosis.
2.The management of facial nerve tumor manifested as facial paralysis.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2014;29(8):716-719
OBJECTIVE:
To heighten the awareness of the facial nerve tumors.
METHOD:
The clinical data of twenty-three patients complaining of facial paralysis who were diagnosed postoperatively as facial nerve tumors were analyzed. The hearing assessment of all patients was based on pure tone audiometry at the frequency of 0. 5, 1, 2, 4 kHz. Temporal bone high resolution CT scan and temporal bone MRI with gadolinium enhancement were conducted on all patients. Facial nerve function was assessed with the House-Brackmann (HB) grading system. Facial electroneurography (ENoG) was conducted on 20 patients to quantify the degree of nerve degeneration preoperatively. The pathological types of tumor were determined by postoperative pathological reports.
RESULT:
Nineteen out of 23 cases presented hearing loss (82.6%), 10 cases suffered from tinnitus (43.5%), otalgia (17.4%) affected 4 cases, 3 cases manifested otorrhea (13.0%), and 2 cases presented vertigo (8.7%). Geniculate ganglion was the most commonly involved site (20 cases, 87.0%), followed by tympanic segments (18 cases, 78.3%), pyramid segment (16 cases, 69.6%), mastoid segment (10 cases, 43.5%), labyrinthine segment (9 cases, 39.1%), internal auditory canal segment and parotid gland segment (5 cases, 21.7%, respectively). Twenty-one cases (91.3%) of schwannomas, 1 case (4.3%) of neurofibroma and 1 case (4.3%) of hemangiomas were identified with histopathology postoperatively. The tumors were all completely excised, and the facial nerve function could recovered to HB III at the best after facial nerve repairment.
CONCLUSION
Facial nerve tumor is a rare and often misdiagnosed disease which was commonly manifested as facial nerve paralysis. Temporal bone CT and MRI can help to clarify the diagnosis preoperatively. Pure tone audiometry and electroneurography also plays a some certain roles in the diagnosis of facial nerve tumors. The tumors should be completely resected and the surgical approaches were determined based on tumor size, facial nerve function and preoperative auditory function.

3.Clinical characteristics of familial aggregation and risk factors in first -degree relatives of migraineprobands
Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases 2017;43(6):327-330
Objective To examine the clinical characteristics of familial aggregation in migraineurs and to ana-lyze the risk factors. Methods Seventy-two migraineurs were recruited and divided into two subgroups according to family migraine history. The subjects were interviewed in detail with questionnaire including age, disease duration, age at migraine onset,migraine severity, frequency of headache,duration of each attack, aura, unilateral pain, pulsate pain, family history of migraine, family members and other factors. Multi-factors logistic regression analysis was performed to analysis the risk factors after single variable analysis. Results Of 72 migraine patients, 37(51.4%) reported that at least one first-degree relative had a history of migraine. There were no significant differences between migraine sub-groups with and without family migraine history in age (P=0.598), gender(P=0.675), disease duration (P=0.419), aura (P=0.669), headache severity (P=0.837), frequency of attack (P=0.465), concomitant symptoms (P=0.081), headache location (P=0.353), headache property (P=0.963), there were significant differences between migraine subgroups with and without family migraine history in age at disease onset (P=0.023), duration of headache attack (P=0.041), early age (<16 years)at disease onset (48.6% vs. 22.9%, P=0.023) and long duration (≥24 hours)of attack (35.1% vs. 14.3%, P=0.041). Multi-variables logistic regression analysis identified fist-degree relatives of probands who had ear-ly age at disease onset (OR=2.986, 95%CI:1.621~5.503) and long duration of headache attack (OR=2.320, 95%CI:1.219~4.415) had higher risk of migraine (P<0.05). Conclusion Migraineurs with family migraine history have earlier onset of migraine and longer duration of attack. Early age at headache onset and long duration of headache attack are the risk factors of family aggregation.

Objective To explore the effect of chimera on acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after xenogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Methods Chimera was produced by exposing rats to sublethal total body irradiation and mouse bone marrow transplantation plus intraperitoneal injection of CTX. Mice were divided into three groups. Mice in group A were transplanted with marrow cells of rats without chimera, mice in group B with marrow cells with chimera, and mice in group C with C57BL/6 of rat marrow cells with chimera. Prophylactic effect on the model of aGVHD in the mice induced after xenogeneic bone marrow transplantation was observed. Results All transplantated mice showed typical aGVHD signs. Animals in group A developed typical aGVHD, and death occurred in 10-12 days after transplantation. The mean survival time of group B were longer than that of group A and C, and the signs and histopathological changes of aGVHD in group B were less severe. Conclusion Xenogeneic chimera can prevent aGVHD, alleviate its symptoms and histopathological changes, and prolong mean survival time. The prophylactic effect is specific.

OBJECTIVE:
10 summarize tne clinical features of the facial nerve tumors involving the internal auditory canal and promote the management of facial nerve tumor.
METHOD:
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical manifestations, the experiences of diagnosis and treatment of the facial nerve tumor involving the internal auditory canal. All these 5 cases were enrolled during January 2013 to Apr 2015.
RESULT:
Among the 5 cases, 3 cases were facial neurilemmoma and the others were facial neurofibroma. The main symptoms of facial nerve tumors involving the internal auditory canal most commonly were facial paralysis companied with hearing loss. All the patients accepted the surgical treatment with various approaches, 3 cases of translabyrinthine approach, 1 case of middle fossa approach, and 1 case of combination of translabyrinthine and transotic approach. Total tumor resection were achieved in all 5 cases. Facial-hypoglossal nerve anastomosis was performed in one case, another case was undergone great auricular nerve graft.
CONCLUSION
Surgical intervention for patients with facial neuroma involving internal auditory canal should be considered when facial weakness has deteriorated to grade 4. The management should be based on the patient's hearing, facial nerve function, tumor size and invasive extension to select the appropriate surgical procedures.

Objective To investigate the change in the function of the motor nerve fibers of the sciatic nerve of rat following injection of different neurolytic drugs. Methods Thirty-five SD rats weighing 350-380 g were randomly divided into 7 groups ( n = 5 each): group C received normal saline; group Ad adriamycin 5 mg/ml;group Aa anhydrous alcohol; group Pg1 8% phenol-glycerol; group Pg2 10% phenol-glycerol; group Pg3 12% phenol-glycerol and group Ci cidomycin 4000 U/ml. 0.2 ml of the different neurolytic drugs was injected at the points where the branches of the sciatic nerve entering semi-membranous and adductor magnus muscles. The action potential and conduction velocity of motor and sensory nerve fibers were measured at 21 d after injection. Results The conduction velocity of sensory nerve fibers was 0 in each group. The conduction velocity and action potential of the motor nerve fibers were significantly decreased in group Ad, Aa, Pg1, Pg2, Pg3 and Ci as compared with group C (the control group). The action potential and the conduction velocity were significantly higher in group Ad than in other neurolytic drug groups. The potential and the conduction velocity were the lowest in group Aa and Pg3.The conduction velocity in group Pg1, Pg2, Ci was comparable. Conclusion 5% adriamycin seems to be a better neurolytic drug with less interference with function of motor never fibers.

The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) VP22, is one of the most abundant HSV-1 tegument proteins with an average stoichiometry of 2 400 copies per virion and conserved among alphaherpesvirinae. Many functions are attributed to VP22, including nuclear localization, chromatin binding, microtubule binding, induction of microtubule reorganization, intercellular transport, interaction with cellular proteins, such as template activating factor I (TAF-I) and nonmuscle myosin II A (NMIIA), and viral proteins including tegument protein VP16, pUS9 and pUL46, glycoprotein E (gE) and gD. Recently, many novel functions performed by the HSV-1 VP22 protein have been shown, including promotion of protein synthesis at late times in infection, accumulation of a subset of viral mRNAs at early times in infection and possible transcriptional regulation function.
