Objective To observe effect of muscle basal lamina containing neural stem cells (NSCs) in repair of spinal cord injury.Methods Thirty-six SD rats from the same nest were used in the study and spinal cord hemisection models were induced.The animals were classified to blank control group (clearance of the lesion edge only with isotonic saline),NSCs group (transplantation of NSCs to the edge),NSCs + muscle basal lamina group (transplantation of complex of NSCs and muscle basal lamina to the edge) according to random number table,with 12 rats per group.At weeks 4 and 8,survival and migration of the transplanted cells and compatibility of muscle basal lamina with the host were detected.At weeks 2,4,and 8,the hindlimb function was assayed using BBB scoring system.Results NSCs in NSCs + muscle basal lamina group grew at the lesion edge,migrated to both sides of the edge,and integrated with peripheral tissues.Whereas,few NSCs survived at the lesion edge in NSCs group and inflammatory cell infiltration was notable.At week 2,there was no statistical difference of BBB score among the three groups.At weeks 4 and 8,BBB score in NSCs + muscle basal lamina group (7.92 ± 1.00,11.38 ± 1.51) was significantly higher than that in blank control group (3.82 ± 0.75,3.71 ± 0.76) and NSCs group (6.25 ±1.06,8.25 ± 1.83) (P<0.05).Conclusion Muscle basal lamina orients growth of NSCs along its lumen,facilitates migration of host cells to ground substance within its lumen,and reduces local inflammatory reaction.

Objective To study early diagnosis and treatment of Wernicke's encephalopathy(WE) in allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation recipients.Method A 17 years old patient with acute B-lymphocytic leukemia received HLA-matched nonrelative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation after conditioning with total-body irradiation/idamycin/cyclophosphamide (TBI/IDA/Cy) regimen.CD25 monoclonal antibody and cyclosporine A+mycophenolate mofetil + methotrexate were administrated for graft versus host disease prophylaxis.Result On the day 8,the platelet was over 20 × 109/L; On the day 10,the neutrophile granulocyte was over 0.5 × 109/L; On the day 28,full engraftment was confirmed by a bone marrow medicolegal identification.The continued nausea and vomiting after HSCT resulted in deficiency of intake and malabsorption.On the day 54,illusion and tremor occurred,and the follow-up brain MRI suggested WE,but the patient died before thiamine replacing therapy.Conclusion WE is also a rare neurologic complication of HSCT,however,it can easily be overlooked.So early radiologic surveillance and treatment for patients with WE is very important to minimize central nervous system complications and unwanted mortality.

OBJECTIVEThe aim of this survey was to obtain some information of the prevalence of dental caries in the youth aged 12, 15 and 18 years of Sichuan province.
METHODSBased on WHO and national oral health survey standards, dental caries prevalence and treatment needs were investigated randomly in selected young individuals of Sichuan province in 1995.
RESULTSThe prevalent rates of caries of 12-, 15-, and 18-year-old adolescents were 28.47% and 36.40% and 39.54% respectively. The mean DMFT of 12-, 15- and 18-year-old were 0.52, 0.81, and 0.99. There are more pit and fissure caries than smooth caries in the young of 12-year-old than those of 15- and 18-year-old.
CONCLUSIONDespite improvement can be seen in adolescents' oral health in Sichuan, there remains a proportion of active untreated decays. Some simple prevention programs are needed to stabilize the caries.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis of a child with Very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD).
METHODS:
A female child who had presented at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University on May 23, 2018 due to occurrence of diarrhea and fever 6 days after birth was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected. Family-based whole-exome sequencing (WES) was carried out. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing and PCR of the patient and her parents.
RESULTS:
The child had developed the symptoms 6 days after birth, with main manifestations including diarrhea, fever, failure to thrive, rectovestibular fistula and hypothyroidism. An enterostomy was performed at the age of 3.5 months due to severe intestinal adhesion and obstruction. Based on her clinical manifestations, colonoscopic finding, and results of biopsies, she was diagnosed with VEOIBD in conjunct with congenital hypothyroidism. Replacement treatment of levothyroxine was given since one month of age. Family-based WES revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the DUOX2 gene, namely c.2654G>T (p.R885L) and c.505C>T (p.R169W), in addition with a heterozygous c.301C>T (p.R101W) variant of the IL10RA gene. Re-analysis of the WES data revealed that the patient also had a 333 bp deletion spanning exon 1 of the IL10RA gene (Chr11: 117857034_117857366).
CONCLUSION
For patients with VEOIBD, genetic testing is recommended. Presence of additional DUOX2 gene variants might have exacerbated the clinical symptoms in this patient. Above finding has facilitated genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for this family, and raised clinicians' awareness of this rare disease.

Objective To explore the differential expression of the key microfilament cytoskeleton-binding proteins in immature dendritic cells(imDCs)during antigen phagocytosis.Methods Monocytes(MOs)were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy individuals and cultured with recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(rhGM-CSF)and recombinant human interleukin-4(rhIL-4)for 6 days to obtain imDCs.ImDCs were co-cultured with low molecular weight(40 kDa)and high molecular weight(150 kDa)dextrans for 1,3 and 6 hours,respectively.Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage of imDCs phagocytosing dextran and the expression of immunophenotype molecules.The localization of filamentous actin(F-actin),PFN1,WASP,and α-actinin in cells were observed by immunofluorescence imaging.The differential expression of MCBPs at the mRNA and protein levels were respectively detected by q-PCR and Western blotting.Finally,the MCBPs with the highest component coefficients were identified based on the stepwise regression and principal component analysis method in systems biology algorithms.Results During the process of antigen phagocytosis,imDCs phagocytized low molecular weight antigens at a faster rate,with a phagocytic duration of approximately three hours.Their cell phenotypes and morphology gradually differentiated into mDCs,and F-actin remodeling was occurred significantly.The expression of MCBPs such as PFN1,CDM,WASP,CAPZB,Filamin A,α-actinin were downregulated,while the expression of WAVE1,Arp2/3 complex,and Fascin were upregulated.The mRNA expression of signaling protein Rac1 was upregulated,while the mRNA expressions of CDC42 and RhoA were downregulated.The immunofluorescence results showed that PFN1,WASP,and α-actinin were transposed during the antigen phagocytosis process of imDCs.The results of stepwise regression and principal component analysis showed that PFN1 had the highest component coefficient.Conclusions PFN1 may be a key MCBPs involved in the process of antigen phagocytosis of imDCs,which is of great significance for further understanding the relationship between changes in the cytoskeleton structure of imDCs and their immunological functions.
