Objective To explore the clinical-pathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis of eosinophilic gastro-enteritis in children. Methods The data of clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, endoscopy, biopsy, management and prognosis from 2 pediatric patients with eosinophilic gastroenteritis were retrospectively analyzed. Related articles were reviewed. Results The age of two patients was 13 and 14 years old. Case 1 was male and had an onset with acute pancreatitis. Case 2 was female with a history of food allergy and had an onset with unexplained ascites. Both patients presented with signiifcantly increased peripheral eosinophil count (45.9%-64.8%) and serum IgE (246-393 IU/ml). Bone marrow cytology showed increased proportion of eosinophils in both patients. Gastroscopy was performed in case 1 while gastroscopy and colonoscopy endoscopy were performed in Case 2 and the results indicated eosinophilic inifltration in duodenum. Duodenal mucosa biopsy showed eosinophilic inifltration in case 1 while gastrointestinal pathology biopsy showed multiple mucosal eosinophil inifltration in case 2. After the therapy of food avoidance, steroid and anti-allergic drugs, both patients had complete remission 1 week later. Meanwhile the peripheral eosinophil count was decreased to normal. Case 1 was followed up for 24 months, and case 2 was followed up for 2 months. Both patients showed no evidence of relapse. Conclusions The clinical manifestation and endoscopic examination of eosinophilic gastroenteritis in children are protean and lack of speciifcity. Unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms accompanied with eosinophilia may suggest the possibility of eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Eosinophilic inifltration in ascites and gastrointestinal mucosa strongly indicate the di-agnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis. After exclusion of other possible diseases, the deifnite diagnosis can be made.

Objective To isolate and culture mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)from human term umbilical cord and placenta,and to study the proliferative and adipogenic capacities of human fetus tissue MSCs (FT-MSCs ), umbilical cord MSCs (UC-MSCs)and placenta MSCs (PL-MSCs), and to provide an experimental basis for its clinical use.Methods The human term umbilical cord and placenta were obtained in sterile condition. The UC-MSCs and PL-MSCs were isolated by digestion using collagenaseⅠ,the FT-MSCs were provided by Zhongke Bio-engineering Co.,Ltd.The 3th or 4th passages of MSCs were selected in this study.The cell morphology was observed by inverted microscope.The proliferative ability was detected by living cell number counting method.The cell cycle and the positive expression rates of the surface markers of three kinds of MSCs were detected by flow cytometry (FCM).The 3th generation of UC-MSCs,PL-MSCs,and FT-MSCs were induced to differentiate into adipogenic cells.18 d after being induced,the differentiated cells were stained with Oil red O and the positive cells were counted. The adipogenic differentiation abilities of MSCs from the different tissues were assessed. Results The MSCs from different tissues were spindle-shaped adherent cells.The FCM results showed the surface marker of MSCs were positive for CD44,CD73,CD90,and CD105,and negative for CD14,CD34,and CD45. The FT-MSCs displayed higher proliferative ability than UC-MSCs and PL-MSCs (P<0.01).The proliferative index (PI)of FT-MSCs (36.66%±1.30%)was significantly higher than those of UC-MSCs (18.23%±1.10%) and PL-MSCs (10.03%±1.20%) (P<0.01).The lipid droplets were found after induction,and the results of Oil red O staining were positive in all kinds of MSCs. However the adipogenic capacity of UC-MSCs was significantly higher than those of PL-MSCs and FT-MSCs (P<0.01).Conclusion UC-MSCs,PL-MSCs and FT-MSCs have similar biological characteristics and cell surface markers. But FT-MSCs have the strongest proliferative ability and activity,UC-MSCs have the strongest adipogenic capacity invitro.

An improved and practical synthesis of racemic 11-demethylcalanolide A [(±)-1] was developed. This improved process involved Pechmann reaction on phloroglucinol with ethyl butyrylacetate to give 5, 7,-dihydroxy-4-n-propylcoumarin(3). Poly phosphoric acid (PPA) catalyzed acylation of compound(3) with crotonic acid, then intramolecular cyclization was achieved simultaneously in one step to afford the key intermediate chromanone(4). A microwave assisted synthetic method preparing chromene(6) using chromenynation of chromanone(4) with 1, 1-diethoxy-methyl-2-butene was conducted. Luche reduction of chromene(6) using NaBH<,4> with CeCl3·7H2O preferably gave (±)-1. The overall yield of this four step synthesis of (±)-1 was around 32% increasing one fold more than that of the previous method. An in vitro investigation showed that (±)-1 exhibited inhibitory activities against both wild-type and drug-resistant HIV-1 in HIV-1 RT and cell culture assay, and significant synergistic effects in combination with AZT, T-20, and indinavir. Its LD50 of acute toxicity in mice by intragastric administration and by intraperitoneal injection were 735.65mg·kg-1 and 525.10mg·kg-1, respectively. The C<,max> and AUC<,0-∞> were 0.54μg·mL-1 and 1.08(μg·mL-1)·h, respectively. The dynamics study of the inhibition of mice sera on HIV-1 RT showed that mice treated with 100mg·kg-1 (±)-1 once intraperitoneally were similar to that of 5mg·kg-1 of known clinical effective anti-HIV-1 drug neverapine. The results suggested that further investigation of the anti-HIV candidate (±)-1 was warranted.

Objective:To investigate the synchronized feature patterns of local field potentials in the hippocampus (HPC) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) during working memory based on time-varying spectral coherence so as to support the study of information processing mechanisms in working memory.Methods:The local field potentials (LFPs) signals of the ventral hippocampus (vHPC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) were collected from six SD rats during the performance of a spatial working memory task in the Y-maze, and the time-frequency distributions of vHPC and mPFC LFPs were calculated by applying the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) to determine the characteristic frequency bands of the working memory and then to investigate the synchronized patterns of vHPC and mPFC LFPs based on the coherent of the time-varying frequency spectrum. Finally, support vector machines were applied to explore the feasibility of applying spectral coherence values to predict working memory.Results:When rats performed working memory tasks correctly, the energy of the theta band (4 - 12 Hz) of the HPC and PFC increased (all P < 0.01), and the spectral coherence value of the theta band of the HPC-PFC increased ( P < 0.05). Support vector machine training and prediction using the average peak spectral coherence and the difference between the peak and the onset when correctly and incorrectly executing the working memory as features resulted in 89% accuracy, 90% precision, 88% recall, and 88% F1 scores, all of which were statistically significant differences compared to the results of the randomly disrupted labeled data rearranging (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Synchronized synergy in the HPC-PFC theta band is one of the potential mechanisms for correctly performing information processing in working memory.

The monosacchride composition of polysacchrides in Dendrobium officinal of different germplasms, physiological ages and closely related species were determined by pre-column derivatization HPLC. The results showed that the absolute and relative volumes of all monosacchrides were significantly different between D. officinale and its closely related species, different germplasms and physiological ages of D. officinale. Absolute peak areas of mannose ranged from 0.854 x 10(7) to 10.340 x 10(7) in closely related species of D. officinale, ranged from 1.467 x 10(7) to 8.475 x 10(7) in different germplasms of D. officinale and were 4.411 x 10(7) (2.577 x 10(7)-6.516 x 10(7)), 5.528 x 10(7) (3.179 x 10(7)-8.475 x 10(7)) and 3.601 x 10(7) (1.467 x 10(7)-5.888 x 10(7)), respectively, in one to three physiological ages of D. officinale. The ratio of mannose to glucose peak areas (relative peak area) ranged from 0.976 to 16.599 in closely related species of D. officinale and from 2.679 to 7.831 in different germplasms of D. officinale. Only the relative peak areas of D. pendulum and D. primulinum were in the range of different germplasms of D. officinale in all tested samples. The results revealed the variation of monosacchride composition of polysacchrides in D. officinale. Monosacchride composition of D. officinale could be altered by breeding new varieties and controlling harvesting season. Most adulterants of D. officinale could be ruled out according to the relative peak areas of D. officinale, providing a basis for quality control and resources training of D. officinale.

Objective:To analyze the social family factors influencing language delay in children with the age ranging from 18 to 42 months in Xiamen.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate children with language delay (case group) and normal controls (control group) in Child Health Clinic and Developmental Behavior Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University between July 2017 and July 2019 via a self-made questionnaire and a language development scale, and the case-control ratio was 1∶4.The chi- square test, Logistic regression and generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) were adopted for statistical analysis, and the correction analysis was performed with Bonferroni correction. Results:A total of 126 children with language delay were collected in the case group, with the ratio of male to female being 2.05∶1.00. The control group was included 504 cases.There was no significant difference in gender and age between both groups.The chi- square test showed that there were statistical differences in maternal culture and screen time distribution between both groups ( P<0.05/13). Besides, the multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested that significant risk factors for language delay in children included maternal culture, maternal-child interaction, and screen time.The GMDR analysis showed that screen time was the optimal single-mode for children at risk of language delay, while maternal culture and screen time constituted a statistically different two-factor model.Moreover, the marital-child interaction was included into the three-factor model. Conclusions:Screen time and maternal culture were the most important risk factors for language delay in children of Xiamen, and both factors would interact with maternal-child interaction, which could exert impacts on language delay in children.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of the serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery.Methods:Perioperative data of 110 consecutive neonates (≤28 days) who underwent cardiac surgery in our hospital from October 2017 to May 2021, were collected retrospectively.According to pROCK criteria, the patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group.Demographics, predominant diagnosis, laboratory examination, perioperative management and postoperative outcomes were compared between two groups.The concentration of serum NT-proBNP was routinely measured within 12 h after operation.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed for the association between serum NT-proBNP and postoperative AKI.Receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn, and the predictive value of serum NT-proBNP for postoperative AKI was determined according to the area under the curve.Results:A total of 106 neonates were enrolled, and the incidence of postoperative AKI was 54.7%.There were significant difference in the baseline hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit and serum creatinine and serum NT-proBNP concentration between AKI group and non-AKI group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that NT-proBNP level was an independent risk factor for AKI after cardiac surgery in neonates ( odds ratio 2.49, 95% confidence interval 1.183-5.23, P=0.016). The area under the curve of NT-proBNP predicting AKI after cardiac surgery was 0.66 (95% confidence interval 0.56-0.76, P=0.007). Conclusions:Elevated serum NT-proBNP concentration is an independent risk factor for AKI after cardiac surgery in neonates and has a certain predictive value for AKI, and close monitoring of perioperative NT-proBNP level is helpful for early identification of high-risk neonates.
