1.Progress of diagnosis and management of non-severe aplastic anemia in children
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;31(15):1132-1135
Acquired aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare heterogeneous disease characterized by pancytopenia and hypoplastic bone marrow.The differential diagnosis should always take in account inherited forms of AA,like Fanconi anemia(FA),dyskeratosis-congenita(DC),and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS).Patient with transfusion-dependent non-severe aplastic anemia(NSAA),with severe AA (SAA) and very severe AA(VSAA),if an human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched family donor(MFD) is found,then hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using bone marrow (BM) stem cells is the treatment of choice.If a MFD is not available,the immunosuppressive therapy (IST) with the combination of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) plus cyclosporin (CsA) still represents the first line choice.For transfusion-independent NSAA patients,most hematologists suggests no intervention,however,some studies indicate the patients with transfusion-independent NSAA may benefit from IST,and the rate of progression to SAA and transfusion-dependent NSAA is lower than other observation groups.So a multicenter randomized clinical trial is needed.
2.Diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency anemia in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(2):122-126
Iron deficiency could cause hemoglobin synthesis decrease,and then lead to iron deficiency a-nemia(IDA).The present study has found that incorrect feeding,gastrointestinal disease and deficiency of trace elements are high risks of IDA.Whether febrile seizure is associated with IDA is still controversial.Recent re-search has discovered that infant iron deficiency can lead to poor cognitive inhibitory control,while delayed cord clamping and other measures can effectively prevent IDA in children.Discontinuous complement iron agent can also achieve good effect on treatment.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of autologous mononuclear bone marrow cells (BMCs) transplantation in patients with anterior myocardial infarction. Methods Twenty-two patients were enrolled in this prospective, nonrandomized, control study (14 patients in cell transplantation group; 8 in control group). All patients underwent standard percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and drug therapy. 14 patients in the cell transplantation group were transplanted with autologous mononuclear (BMCs) via a over-the-wire (OTW) balloon catheter slowly placed into the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery during inflation. Results One patient in the cell transplantation group died of acute drug eluting stent thrombosis. The other 13 patients and the 8 patients in the control group had no procedure related complications and ventricular arrhythmia. All patients in both groups underwent 3-month and 6-month follow-up, 6 minutes test, 2D Doppler echocardiogram, single photon emission computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After 3 months of follow-up, a significant increase of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) determined by ultrasonic cardiography was found [(50.37?7.31)% vs (40.12?5.52)% before transplantation, P =0.000?1] and was also significantly greater compared with the control group [(50.37?7.31)% vs (44.09?3.50)%, P =0.035]. Conclusion The result indicates that selective intracoronary transplantation of autologous mononuclear BMCs seems to be feasible and may improve the left ventricular systolic function.

Objective:To study the relationship between G protein ? 3 subunit ( GNB3 )C825T variant and plasma renin angiotensin system(RAS) activity in Chinese essential hypertensive patients. Methods: Case control method was used. For 408 essential hypertensive patients who were enrolled in the trial groups, we chose 140 normotensives as control group 1 and 61 health persons with hypertensive familial history as control group 2, respectively. PCR-RFLP method was used to measure the C/T polymorphism. The results were observed by agarose gel eletrophoresis. Results: The frequencies of 825T allele were 45.6% to 56.4% in the three groups. Neither GNB3 genotype distribution nor the frequency of T allele was associated with essential hypertension. But patients with TT genotype had higher aldosterone level and lower angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity than patients with CC genotype. Conclusion:In Chinese, patients with TT genotype had higher aldosterone level and lower angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity.

Objective To investigate the association between albuminuria incidence and blood pressure (BP) level or body weight index (BMI) in patients with essential hypertension from five regions in China. Methods A total of 5021 non-diabetic patients with clearly diagnosed essential hypertension were enrolled in our study. The participants came from five cities in China.Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio was measured in these patients for two times. The associations of albuminuria with BP level and BMI were analyzed. Results (1)There was no significant difference of albuminuria incidence between <60-year-old and ≥60-year-old patients. The longer the hypertension exited, the higher the albuminuria incidence was. (2) The albuminuria incidence was associated with blood pressure level significantly. The urinary protein excretion increased with the level of blood pressure. The albuminuria incidences in patients with normal BP, upper range of normal BP, Ⅰ , Ⅱ or Ⅲ stage hypertension were 26.3%, 27.3%, 28.7%, 31.5% and 40.3% respectively. (3) The albuminuria incidence was significantly different in patients with uncontrolled BP (≥ 140/90 mm Hg) compared with those with well controlled BP (< 140/90 mm Hg) (27.1% vs 30.2%, P<0.05 ). (4) The albuminuria incidence was higher in obese patients compared with those with normal BMI at same BP level, but the difference was not statistically significant. (5) Patients with albuminuria had more cardiocerebral or renal events as compared to those without proteinuria. Conclusions The albuminuria incidence of non-diabetic hypertensive patients from 5 cities in China is 28.8%, of which the microalbuminuria incidence is 18.6% and the clinical albuminuria incidence is 10.2%. Uncontrolled BP is an important risk factor of proteinuria.
