[ Abstract]Objective To investigate the effect of two-tage skin grafting with artificial dermis for perianal hidradenitis suppurativa. Methods A total of 20 cases diagnosed as perianal hidradenitis suppu-rativa in our hospital were selected from 2011 to 2013. In the first-stage operation,all diseased skin inclu-ding the superficial subcutaneous fatty tissue was excised,and normal deep subcutaneous fatty tissue was preserved. Then,artificial dermis was grafted to the preserved fatty tissue. After two weeks,split-hickness skin grafts were used for the skin defects as the second-tage operation. Graft success,recurrence and post-operative appearance were evaluated in these patients who were followed up for 9 to 28 months. Results Skin grafts of all 19 patients were successfully survived. The recurrence of hidradenitis suppurativa oc-curred in only one patient. This patient was treated with reoperation and the postoperative appearance was welly recovered. Conclusion Two-tage skin grafting with artificial dermis appears to be a good treatment option for perianal hidradenitis suppurativa.

The unicellular green alga Haematococcus pluvialis accumulates a highly valuable ketocarotenoid, i.e. astaxanthin up to 4%dry weight under stress conditions. Phytoene synthase is considered to be the first rate limiting enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis pathway in H. pluvialis. The cDNA and genomic genes of phytoene synthase, i.e. psy from H.pluvialis were cloned and characterized.Result showed that psy had one open reading frame of 1 200 bp encoding a putative polypeptide of 400 amino acids which was interrupted by four introns. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that psy from green algae formed a monophyletic clade, and its closer relationship was higher plants. By using genomic walking approach, an approximate 1 kb 5′ flanking region ofpsy gene was cloned and a number of putative cis-regulatory elements were revealed. Fusing a 297 bp internal sequence (-297 to -1 bp from the translation initiation codon ofpsy) with the reporter gene, i.e. lacZ before attemptedintroducing the construct into the green alga via particle bombardment resulted in lacZ transient expression.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of the clip with the flossmethod during endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric angle cancer. Methods A total of 27 gastric angle lesions diagnosed as early gastric cancer were treated by ESD. They were randomized to two groups, routine ESD group and clip with the flossgroup. The procedure time, complication events, en-block resection rate and complete resection rate were compared between the two groups. Also,the learning time was divided to two stages and the learning curve was studied according to the resected specimen areas per minute. Results The en block rate was 85. 7%(12/14) in the routine ESD group and 100. 0%(13/13) in the clip with the floss group. The procedure time in the clip with the flossgroup was significantly less than that in the routine ESD group (the median time 30 min VS 40 min, P =0. 011) . Perforation and the post operative bleeding did not occur in either group. The ESD learning curving during the first learning period and the mean resected specimen (area/min) in theclip with the floss group were larger than routine ESD group(30±6 mm2/min VS 20±5 mm2/min,P=0. 01). However, no difference presented during the second learning period between the two groups. Conclusion Clip with the flossmethod during endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric angle cancer as a novel procedure is safe, efficacious and worthy to recommend to beginning learners.

Objective To evaluate the applicability and security of transpancreatic precut sphincterotomy vs double guidewire technique for cannulation in difficult bile duct cannulation in endoscopic retrograde eholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Methods Retrospective analysis of 158 cases difficult bile duct cannulation in ERCP from January 2012 to January 2014, according to the intubation tube method, we divided all the cases into 3 groups, transpancreatic precut sphincterotomy group (group A); double guide wire technique group (group B); single guide wire technique group (group C). Then compare the intubation success rate and the incidence of complications among the 3 groups. Results 54 of 58 patients in group A intubation successful, the success rate is 93.1%, 50 of 56 patients in group B intubation successful, the success rate is 89.3%, 26 of 44 patients in group C intubation successful, the success rate is 59.1%, there was no significant difference between group A and B(P > 0.05), group A and group C, group B and C have significant difference (P < 0.05). In group A, 4 cases were complicated with acute pancreatitis, hemorrhage in 6 cases, infection in 2 cases, the complication rate is 20.7%; In group B, 5 cases were complicated with postoperative pancreatitis, 4 cases of infection, incidence of complications is 16.1%; 7 patients were complicated with pancreatitis in group C, hemorrhage in 2 cases, infection in 4 cases, complication rates is 29.5%, 3 groups were no perforation occurred.The complication rate of group B is lower than in group A, but no significant difference (P > 0.05), group A and group C, B and C complication rates had significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusions When selective bile duct intubation is difficulty and guide wire thread into the pancreatic duct, continue to single guide wire have low intubation success rate and higher incidence of complications,transpancreatic precut sphincterotomy and double guide wire technique can effectively improve the success rate of intubation, and complication rates are relatively low, no significant difference between the two.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical manifestations and laboratory examination characteristics of neonatal dengue fever.
METHODA retrospective analysis of 12 cases of neonatal dengue fever treated in the Guangdong Women and Children's Hospital and Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center was conducted, and related literature was reviewed.
RESULTTwelve cases of neonatal dengue fever included 9 males and 3 females; their age was 30 min after birth to 29 d, the age of onset was 30 min-24 d. (1) CLINICAL FEATURES: fever was present in 11 cases, rash in 6 cases, bleeding in 1 case, jaundice in 5 cases, cough in 1 case, coagulopathy in 2 cases. (2) Mothers' perinatal conditions: 7 mothers were confirmed to have dengue fever, 2 mothers had suspected dengue fever, and in 3 mothers the dengue fever was excluded. Eight mothers prenatally had fever. (3) LABORATORY TESTS: Thrombocytopenia was found in 11 cases (19×10(9)-156×10(9)/L), activated partial thromboplastin time prolonged in 11 cases (44.0-89.8 s), fibrinogen decreased in 5 cases (1.17-3.02 g/L), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increased in 5 cases (28-78 U/L), creatine kinase (CK-MB) increased in 4 cases (13-86 U/L), hypokalemia in 1 case (2.8-5.1 mmol/L ), C- reactive protein (CRP) increased in 6 cases (0.04-46.05 mg/L). (4) Treatment and prognosis: platelet transfusion was used in 2 cases, anti-infective therapy was given to 6 cases, intravenous gamma globulin treatment was used in 5 cases, hospitalization was 4-17 d, 10 cases were cured, 2 cases were discharged after condition was improved. Literature search was performed with "neonatal dengue" as keywords at Wanfang, Weipu, and CNKI, no relevant reports were found. Pubmed search was done with "neonatal dengue" and "case report" as keywords, 15 reports were retrieved during 1990 and 2014, which reported 30 cases, all acquired the disease via vertical transmission; the main clinical manifestations were fever, rash, petechiae, anemia, jaundice, tachycardia, and hepatomegaly; laboratory test: all had visible purpura due to thrombocytopenia; anti-infective treatment, platelet transfusion and symptomatic treatment were given, and all the 30 cases of infants were cured.
CONCLUSIONThe clinical manifestations of neonatal dengue fever are characterized by fever and the disorder of blood coagulation system. The course of disease is mild, lack of specific clinical symptoms, and the prognosis is good. Mother to infant vertical transmission of dengue virus is one of the ways of transmission.

Objective:To analyze the viral nucleic acid and cytokines in 12 children with 2019-nCoV infection.Methods:Clinical and laboratory data of the children diagnosed with 2019-nCoV infection in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from January to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Throat and anal swabs were collected on alternate days for the detection of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Flow cytometry was used to detect serum cytokines including IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22, TNF-α and TNF-β during the early (both throat and anal swab tests were positive), the intermediate (throat swab test was negative, while anal swab test remained positive), and the convalescence (both throat and anal swab tests were negative) stages of infection.Results:A total of 12 children were enrolled in this study. The male-to-female ratio was 5∶1. The average age was (7.0±4.3) years. There were two asymptomatic, five mild and five common cases. No severe or critical cases were involved. Initially, throat and anal swab nucleic acid tests were simultaneously positive in nine children newly diagnosed in our hospital and the median time of viral shedding in throat swab was longer than that in throat swab [32 (4.5, 45.0) d vs 3 (2, 9) d, Z=11.0, P=0.010]. The median difference of viral shedding time between anal swab and pharyngeal swab was 25.5 (1.5, 42.8) d. The overall levels of serum cytokines IL-17A, IL -4 and IL-5 in different stages of the disease (early, intermediate and convalescence stage) were statistically different ( Z or F, P values were 8.33, 0.016; 5.36, 0.010 and 6.56, 0.004, respectively), and a significant increase was observed in the intermediate stage of infection. IL-17F, IL-2 and IL-22 were all increased during the infection, but there was no significant statistical difference among the three stages ( P>0.05). Conclusions:It was noted that intestinal viral shedding needed a longer time. Although the infectivity has not been determined, higher requirements have been put forward for disease prevention and control. Cytokines secreted by Th2 and Th17 cells were involved in the immune response in children with non-severe 2019-nCoV infection. Monitoring viral shedding and cytokine changes in pediatric patients would be conducive to disease assessment.
