Disseminated intravascular coagulation ( DIC ) is a exceedingly complicated pathophysiological process,both pro and anti coagulation factors are activated and consumed,it is difficult to determine acute stage of the syndrome for physicians based on clinical presentations and laboratory tests,management strategy of DIC is not same due to different etiology,the dose and regimen of drug administration are uncertain. At present pediatricians usually treat children patients with DIC according to researches and guidelines for adults. The key strategies to DIC management is to treat underlying diseases aggressively so as to clear risk factors triggering extensive coagulation and resuscitate with ap-propriate blood products. No clinical trials have proved that heparin can improve clinical outcome,efficacies of activated protein C,antithrombin, tissue factor pathway inhibitor and thrombomodulin are needed to be verified by more high qua-lity clinical trials in DIC treatment.

Acute mveloid leukemia(AML) is a heterogeneous group of leukemias that arise from clonal transformation of hematopoietic precursors.This review summarizes classification of pediatric AML,more precise risk-group stratification,ongoing phase Ⅲ studies and minimal residual diseasse monitoring.In addition,we discuss the opportunities for innovative chemotherapy drugs in refractory AML and relapsed AML,such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin,liposomal daunorubicin,clofarabine,cladribine and lmatinib.Finally,the roles of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in pediatric AML are also discussed.

Mesangial proliferation is a basic pathologic process of many kidney diseases,mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis(MsPGN) is the common pathological type.The pathogenesis of MsPGN still remains unclear.Recently,cytokines of fractalkine,interleukin and TGF-β gradually become hotspot in the pathogenesis of MsPGN.Studies shows that a variety of cytokines play an important roles in the development of MsPGN and the mechanism has been gradually clarified.Certain progress has been made in treatment,and more profound understanding of mycophenolate mofetil has been received,the treatment of the MsPGN as manifestations with refractory nephrotic syndrome has been achieved good effect.This review is based on the recent years of the primary non-IgA MsPGN progress.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of combined analysis on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of X-ray cross-complementing1 ( XRCC1 ) gene 194 and 399 codon,xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) gene 312 codon and glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) gene 105 codon in platinum based chemotherapy.Methods Direct sequencing was performed to detect XRCC1,XPD and GSTP1 genotypes in peripheral blood from 50 cancer patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.Genetic polymorphisms of these genes related to sensitivity of platinum were reviewed.Results Favorable genotypes were Arg/Trp and Trp/Trp in XRCC1 194 codon,Arg/Arg in XRCC1 399 codon,Asn/Asn in XPD 312 codon and Val/Val in GSTP1 105 codon.The response rate to chemotherapy was 57.1％,75.0％,60.9％,85.7％ and 87.5％,respectively.The response rate for patients possessing ≥2 favorable genotypes and those possessing 1 or 0 favorable genotype was 78.9％,36.4％ and 0,respectively.Patients possessing ≥2 favorable genotypes demonstrated higher sensitivity to platinum based chemotherapy,compared with those possessing 1 or 0 favorable genotype ( x2 =25.79,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Combination analysis of genomic polymorphisms of XRCC1,XPD and GSTP1 may be useful in predicting sensitivity of platinum based chemotherapy.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of severe liver damage in children.MethodsClinical data of 55 children with severe liver damage were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 55 children (31 boys and 24 girls) aged from 28 days to 12 years, forty-five children had acute liver injury mainly caused by infectious diseases (21 cases, 53.3%), blood tumor diseases (5 cases, 11.1%), hereditary metabolic diseases (4 cases, 8.9%), and unexplained diseases (10 cases, 22.2%), ten children had chronic liver injury with decompensated cir-rhosis. Most of severe liver damage in children was caused by antipyretic drugs, traditional Chinese medicine and cold medicine, including 31 cases of acute liver injury and 4 cases of chronic liver injury. In children with acute liver injury, clinical symptoms included gastrointestinal symptoms (32 cases, 71.1%), jaundice (26 cases, 57.8%), hemorrhage (9 cases, 20.0%), multiple organ dysfunction (13 cases, 28.9%) and hepatic encephalopathy (6 cases, 13.3%). In children with chronic liver damage, clinical symptoms included abdominal distension and ascites (10 cases), jaundice (9 cases), gastrointestinal bleeding (7 cases), hepatic encephalopathy (3 cases) and multiple organ dysfunction (1 case). In 55 chil-dren, 39 children were died and the total mortality was 70.91%. In 14 cases of multiple organs dysfunction syndromes, 13 cases (92.9%) were died. All three cases of hepatic encephalopathy were died.ConclusionsInfectious diseases are the leading cause of sever liver damage in children. The most common inciting factors are antipyretic drugs, traditional Chinese medicine and cold medicine. Children with severe liver damage have a high mortality. Rational use of medicine and the concept of the prevention first should been strengthened.

Objective To investigate the homology of methicillin-resistant Stphylococcusaureus(MRSA)from the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)of a children's hospital,and evaluate routes and preventive strategies of MRSA healthcare-associated infection(HAI). Methods MRSA strains from neonates and environment of NICU between October and December 2014 were collected,and strains were identified by VITEK-2 microbial analysis system and cefoxitin Kirby-Bauer method,homology of MRSA was analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE ). Results A total of 6 MRSA strains were isolated from NICU between October and December 2014,3 of which (bed-58,70,and 100)were detected MRSA from specimens,MRSA were isolated from neonatal incubator and nurse (nasal swabs and hands)who cared for neonate at bed 58. 5 of 6 MRSA strains were homology,antimicrobial susceptibility testing result showed that No. 1-5 strains were resistant to clindamycin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid,No. 6 strain was slightly different from No. 1-5 strains,No. 6 strain was susceptible to both clindamycin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. PFGE results showed that No. 1-5 strains were of the same type,No. 6 strain was a different type. Conclusion The main route of this MRSA transmission is contact transmission,especially through the hands of health care workers,identification and analysis of epidemic strains by PFGE technique is an effective measures to prevent HAI outbreak and perform epidemiological study.

Objective To explore the association between variation in genes related to lipid metabolism and the susceptibility of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods Obese children with fatty liver aged 6~18 years old were included. All of them got ultrasonic testing, routine examination and biochemical detection. In addition, the DNA of peripheral blood was extracted and the 36 target genes related to lipid metabolism were detected by next generation sequencing. Results In 368 obese children who met the inclusion criteria, 183 children (49.7%) were detected to have NAFL . 100 children with NAFLD and 100 children without NAFLD were randomly selected from obese children. The levels of body mass, waistline, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), triacylglycerol (TG), cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) in NAFLD children were all higher than those in non-NAFLD children, and there were significant differences (P all<0.05). However, the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), fasting blood glucose, insulin, high density lipoprotein (HDL), free fatty acid (FFA) and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were not significantly different between the two groups (P all>0.05). The levels of bilirubine in the two groups were within normal range. Logistic regression analysis showed that the genes of MTTP rs2306986 (OR=2.70, 95%CI: 1.38~5.27) and MTTP rs3792683 (OR=7.34, 95%CI: 2.04~26.50) that encode microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP or MTP), and the mutation of rs738409 (OR=2.11, 95%CI:1.31~4.48) in gene PNPLA3 that encode patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 are the independent risk factors for the occurrence of the disease. Conclusion Genovariation of MTTP rs2306986, MTTP rs3792683, and PNPLA3 rs738409 may increase susceptibility to NAFLD in children.

Objective:To study the clinical features and molecular genetic mechanisms of children with lissencephaly (LIS), as well as to analyze the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes of the disease.Methods:From October 2016 to December 2017, the clinical data and follow-ups of 21 LIS children were collected in the Department of Neurology, Shenzhen Children′s Hospital.Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed for genetic testing.Results:Among these 21 cases, 18 cases developed epilepsy (86%), and 3 cases were seizure free (14%). The onset age of children with epilepsy was relatively young, and 16 cases occurred within 1 year old (89%). Among these cases, 16 were pachygyria (76%), 3 cases were agyria combined with pachygyria (14%) and 2 cases were agyria (10%). Epileptic syndromes included 12 cases of West syndrome (67%), 2 cases of Ohtahara syndrome (11%), 2 cases of other epileptic encephalopathy (11%), and 2 cases of focal epilepsy (11%). Brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) demonstrated that most cases were pachygyria, among which diffuse pachygyria was more common (56%, 9/16 cases). The results of WGS: 13 pathogenic or likely pathogenic single nucleotide variants (SNV) and copy number variants (CNV) were detected.The total detection rate was 62%, of which 2 cases were frameshift, 1 case was nonsense and 1 case was missense variants of PAFAH1B1, 6 cases were chromosome 17p13.3 deletion syndrome, thus lea-ding to the whole gene deletion of PAFAH1B1, and 1 case was missense variant of DCX, frameshift variant of KIF2A, and missense variant of PIK3R2, respectively.Totally, 48% (10/21 cases) of the cases were variants or deletions of PAFAH1B1, which resulted in lissencephaly in the parietal-occipital region of the brain.Novel variants were PAFAH1B1: c.1067G>A, PAFAH1B1: c.897delT and KIF2A: c.2225delG. Conclusions:Most cases of LIS accompanied with epilepsy, in which West syndrome was relatively more common.Brain MRI showed that most cases were diffuse pachygyria.The variants and deletions of PAFAH1B1 was the main genetic cause of LIS.The identification of the novel variants expanded the genotypical spectrum of LIS.
