Objective To explore the clinical features and diagnosis of primary immunodeifciency disease caused byTyk2 gene mutations.Methods Clinical data from the ifrst case in China diagnosed of primary immunodeifciency disease caused by Tyk2 gene mutation were retrospectively analyzed, and related literature was reviewed.Results One year and 3 month old boy suffered with repeated pulmonary infection, chronic otitis media, intractable eczema like rash, repeated skin abscess, HSV infection, intracellular bacterial infection, and remarkedly increased total IgE. It was detected that compound heterozygous mutations of c.2269C>G in No. 16 exon and c.149delC in No. 3 exon inTyk2 gene. Literature searching found other 8 cases (5 males and 3 females) of immune deifciency patients caused byTyk2 gene defects, all of which hadTyk2 gene homozygous mutations and presented with repeated infection of paranasal sinus and lung. In the 8 cases 6 cases were combined with mycobacterium tuverculosis infection, 4 cases had repeated virus infection, 4 cases had meningonecephalitis, 3 cases had intractable eczema like rash, 2 cases had salmonella enteritis, 1 case had remarkedly increased total IgE, one case had elevated eosinophils, 5 cases were born in intermarriage family and 1 case died of meningitis caused by unknown etiology.Conclusions When patients have repeated paranasal sinus infection and lung infection, combined with intracellular bacterial infection (including mycobacterium tuberculosis infection), and repeated virus infection or intractable eczema like rash, with or without increased total IgE, immunodeifciency disease caused by Tyk2 gene defection should be considered. Gene sequence analysis can assist in early diagnosis.

To enhance the production of ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL) by improving dissolved oxygen level of the fermentation system, different oxygen-vectors were added to broth and n-dodecane was screened as the best oxygen-vector. The best amount of n-dodecane was 0.5% (V/V) and the best time was at start of the fermentation. In a fed-batch fermentation in a 5 L bioreactor, ε-PL concentration reached a maximum of (30.8 ± 0.46) g/L and the dry cell weight obtained was (33.8 ± 0.29) g/L, increasing by 31.6% and 20.7% compared with the control group, respectively. This improvement can be related to 0.5% n-dodecane could maintain dissolved oxygen concentration > 32% of air concentration compared with 23.8% in ε-PL production phase, and the production of a main by-product, poly-L-diaminopropionic acid, fell by 31%. These results indicated that the dissolved oxygen level in the broth was improved by adding n-dodecane, which can inhibit the by-product production and improve the biosynthesis of ε-PL.

Objective To explore the clinical phenotype, treatment and prognosis of immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome, and to improve pediatricians' knowledge of this disease. Methods Clinical data of a case of IPEX with congenital ichthyosiform skin lesions were retrospectively analyzed, and related literatures China were reviewed. Results The 2-month-11-day old boy came to our hospital due to ichthyosiform skin lesions accompanied by blood oozing in the head and feet exudatation, with severe sepsis and gastrointestinal perforation. He was died of multiple organ failure. DNA sequencing of whole-genome exon group showed a hemizygous mutation of c.1150G> A, p.A384> T in FOXP3 gene. His mother was a heterozygous mutation carrier, while his father was normal. Conclusions In addition to typical symptoms including early-onset refractory diarrhea, multiple endocrine disease and growth retardation, IPEX should be considered also in infants with ichthyosiform rash and severe infection. Gene sequencing will help diagnose the disease.
