Objective To determine Oligl transcription factor expression in periventricular tissue of day 2 newborn rat of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and to explore the relation with remyelination.Methods PVL newborn rat model was successfully established through bilateral common carotid artery ligation,followed by 8% oxygen exposure for 30 min. On day 0,day 7 and day 14 after operation,Oligl expression was examined through in situ hybridization, oligodendrocyte precursor cells and oligodendrocytes were detected via immunohistochemistry method and mRNA levels of MBP, PLP, MAG in control and PVL group were examined with quantitative real-time PCR. Results Oligl positive cells of control group were 115 ± 15/mm2. On day 0 and day 7 after operation,oligl positive cells were 72 ± 20/mm2and 75 ± 12/mm2 ,and there was significant difference as compared with control group (P both ＜ 0. 05), however the oligl positive cells on day 14 after operation(146 ± 1 1/mm2) significantly increased with comparison to control group (P ＜0. 05). Compared to control group, GST-Ⅱ positive oligodendrocytes and O4 positive oligodendroglial progenitor cells of PVL group were significantly decreased on day 0, day 7 after operation (P both ＜ 0. 05), and these cells both increased on day 14 after operation ,however there was no difference as compared with control group (P ＞ 0. 05). Compared to control group, mRNA levels of MBP, PLP, MAG all significantly decreased on day 0,day 7 after operation(P all ＜ 0. 05), and these levels slightly increased on day 14 after operation (P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusion Oligl transcription factor may be essential in the remyelination and repair of myelin in PVL.

Objective To explore the clinical features of respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) pneumonia in full-term neonatal patients.Methods All 422 full-term newborns diagnosed as pneumonia in NICU of Shenzhen Children's Hospital during January 2014 to January 2015 were included in this study.They had been detected for RSV in the way of direct immunofluorescence assay.According to the detection results, they were divided into RSV positive group and RSV negative group, the clinical data in two groups were analyzed.Results Forty-five cases were RSV positive,377 cases were RSV negative.The proportion of breast feeding was 42.22％ vs.65.25％ ,the proportion of cesarean section was 20.00％ vs.76.12％ in two groups,there were significant differences between the two groups.Hospitalization time, birth weight, gestational age, the age of admission showed no difference between two groups.The incidencs of cough (100％), shormess of breath (88.89％), three depressions (48.89 ％), fine rales (66.67 ％), wheezing (22.22％) in RSV positive group were higher than those in the RSV negative group(84.88％ ,42.44％, 13.26％, 13.53％ ,3.98％ respectively), there were significant differences between the two groups.The incidences of fever, saliva, nasal showed no significant difference between the two groups.There was significant difference in the X-ray chest film performance between two groups,RSV positive group was more emhrysema(71.11％ vs.6.9％) ,and less patch shadow(88.89％ vs.93.10％).The laboratory examination of blood routine test, C-reactive protein,respiratory failure, the positive rate of sputum culture, pneumothorax, pleural effusion were without differences.Conclusion RSV is an important pathogen of full-term neonates with infectious pneumonia.Breastfeeding and eutocia can reduce the incidence of RSV infection.Cough, shortness of breath, pulmonary rales, and emphysema in X-ray were common in RSV pneumonia.

Objective To observe the efficacy of HAG regimen in remission inductive treatment for elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome-refractory anemia with excess blasts (MDS-RAEB). Methods The clinical features of 21 cases with AML and 9 cases with MDSRAEB (≥60 year old) treated with HA-G regimen in remission induction were retrospectively analyzed,including the complete remission (CR) rate, efficiency rate as well as their toxicities. Results In 21 elderly patients with AML treated with HAG regimen, the efficiency rate was 66.7 % (14/21), CR rate 47.6 % (10/21).In 9 elderly patients with MDS-RAEB, the CR rate was 55.6 % (5/9). The main toxicity of HA-G regimen was infections secondary to hematopoiesis suppression after chemotherapy. All patients were well tolerated to adjusted regimen. Conclusion The HA-G regimen is much effective in remission induction for elderly patients with AML and MDS-RAEB.

Objective To study the protective effect of curcumin on precurosor oligodendrocytes (preOLs) damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2),and explore its mechanism.Methods (1) In vitro primary culture ofpreOLs was performed; and 0 (normal controls),100,250 and 500 μmol/L H2O2 were added for 30 min; the apoptosis and death of preOLs were observed by Hoechst33342/PI double staining.(2) The preOLs were divided into normal control group,model group,and 5,10 and 20 μmol/L curcumin treatment groups; cells the later three groups were given 5,10 and 20 μmol/L curcumin for one h,and the later four groups were given 100 μmol/L H2O2 for 30 min; MTT assay was,then,employed to detect the cell viability.(3) The preOLs were divided into normal control group,model group,and 10 μmol/L curcumin treatment group; the apoptosis ofpreOLs was detected by Annexin V/FITC flow cytometry; Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl2),Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) and cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-9; activities of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD),glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected by spectrophotometry.Results (1) As compared with those in the normal control group,significantly decreased number of normal healthy cells and statistically increased apoptotic and necrotic cells in the 100,250 and 500 μmol/L H2O2 treatment groups were noted (P＜0.05); 100 μmol/L H2O2 treatment group had larger number of apoptotic cells than that of necrotic cells,while 250 and 500 μmol/L H2O2 treatment groups had larger number of necrotic cells than that of apoptotic cells.(2) Cells from 5,10 and 20 μmol/L curcumin treatment groups had significantly higher preOLs viability than those from model group,and 10 and 20 μmol/L curcumin treatment groups had significantly higher preOLs viability than those from 5 μmol/L curcumin treatment group (P＜0.05).(3) As compared with the model group,the 10 μmol/L curcumin treatment group had obviously decreased apoptotic and necrotic cells,increased activities of T-SOD,GPx and CAT,increased GSH level and decreased MDA concentration,up-regulated Bcl-2 expression,and inhibited Bax,caspase-3 and caspase-9 expressions,with significant differences (P＜0.05).Conclusion Curcumin has protective effect on preOLs against oxidative injury through effectively reducing lipid peroxidation,regulating Bcl-2/Bax expression and suppressing caspase-3 and caspase-9 activation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effect of endovascular embolization (EVE) in the treatment of hemoptysis of systemic arterial origin in children.

METHODSA total of 20 children with hemoptysis of systemic arterial origin who underwent EVE from January 2016 to November 2017 were enrolled. The method for embolization was analyzed and the clinical outcome was evaluated.

RESULTSOffending vessels were bronchial artery (BA) in 14 children, non-bronchial systemic artery (NBSA) in 1 child, and BA and NBSA in 5 children. Of all the children, 13 underwent EVE with peripheral embolization agents and 7 underwent EVE with mechanical coils. A total of 41 offending vessels were embolized (34 BAs and 7 NBSAs) and all the children achieved immediate arrest of hemoptysis. Two children experienced recurrence within 6 months after EVE and 2 experienced recurrence with 6-24 months after EVE. The peripheral embolization agent group had a lower overall recurrence rate than the mechanical coil group [8%(1/13) vs 43%(3/7); P=0.10]. One child experienced intracranial ectopic embolism after surgery and had good quality of life during 20 months of follow-up after treatment. No other complications were observed.

CONCLUSIONSEVE is a safe and effective method for the treatment of hemoptysis of systemic arterial origin in children and thus holds promise for clinical application.

Objective To apply ultrasound to monitor cardiac function changes after anthracycline exposure in children with acute leukemia,in order to obtain the indicators of early changes in their cardiac function.Methods Children with acute leukemia from 2018 March to December 2020 in the Children's Hospital of Kunming Medical University were enrolled according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,their routine cardiac ultrasound and tissue Doppler condition were recorded,and the changes in systolic function were evaluated by Tei index including TeiS,TeiRL,TeiM and TeiT.Results The mean values of LVEF in the normal and the experimental group were both above 60%.FS,SV,and EDV were all in the normal range.While common indicant,the index of TDI or Tei was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The levels of TeiM,TeiRL and TieT in the groups that received a total dose of 200 mg/m2 anthracyclines and 250 mg/m2 were significantly different from that before treatment(P<0.05).Conclusion Tei index can be utilized as a sensitive indicator for early changes in left and right heart function after children with acute leukemia are exposed to anthracyclines.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy is a novel cellular immunotherapy that is widely used to treat hematological malignancies, including acute leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Despite its remarkable clinical effects, this therapy has side effects that cannot be underestimated. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is one of the most clinically important and potentially life-threatening toxicities. This syndrome is a systemic immune storm that involves the mass cytokines releasing by activated immune cells. This phenomenon causes multisystem damages and sometimes even death. In this study, we reported the management of a patient with recurrent and refractory multiple myeloma and three patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia who suffered CRS during CAR-T treatment. The early application of tocilizumab, an anti-IL-6 receptor antibody, according to toxicity grading and clinical manifestation is recommended especially for patients who suffer continuous hyperpyrexia, hypotensive shock, acute respiratory failure, and whose CRS toxicities deteriorated rapidly. Moreover, low doses of dexamethasone (5-10 mg/day) were used for refractory CRS not responding to tocilizumab. The effective management of the toxicities associated with CRS will bring additional survival opportunities and improve the quality of life for patients with cancer.
