Aim To study the effect of saikogenin d (SGD) on prostaglandin E 2(PGE 2) production in C 6 rat glioma cells. Methods Radioimmunoassay was applied to determine PGE 2 production in the cells. Scintillation counting was used to measure liberation of -arachidonic acid (AA) from the cells labeled with -AA. Results In vitro, SGD alone at 1~20 ?mol?L -1 did not affect PGE 2 release from cells, but inhibited its release induced by A23187, a Ca 2+ ionophore. The inhibition was concentration-dependent, with the IC 50 value of about 3 ?mol?L -1. SGD (2~10 ?mol?L -1 ) had no inhibitory effect on A23187-induced AA release or on the conversion of AA to PGE 2 in microsomal preparations. Conclusion SGD inhibites A23187-induced PGE 2 production in C 6 rat glioma cells in vitro, without either inhibition of free AA liberation or a direct inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) activity.

Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of caudal homeobox gene CDX2 in acute myeloid leukemia(AML) patients .Methods Bone marrow (BM )and peripheral blood (PB)samples were colleted in 114 cases of donor AML patients and 56 patients undergoing chemotherapy .The CDX2 gene expression in every patient′s mononuclera cells were de‐tected by RT‐PCR .Among these patients ,19 cases were detected the gene continuous every three months .Eight healthy PB and five patients with iron deficiency anemia BM as control .Results CDX2 gene transcript levels were detectable in bone marrow mononu‐clear cells from 114 AML patients and 13 healthy donors ,but the level of gene expression was higher in AML patients(90/114 , 78 .9% ) .There was a statistically significant difference between the AML patients and normal donor (P< 0 .01) .The higher or lower expression of CDX2 gene showed no correlation with CR rate .CDX2 gene expression level had a positive correlation in BM and PB mononuclera cells(the correlation coefficient r= 0 .656 ,P< 0 .01) .The expression of CDX2 in patients with CR was 10 .3% -86 .2% of pre‐chemotherapy ,wihch decreased with the treatment course ,while elevated in recurrence .19 cases of patients underwent half a year of follow‐up ,there was no significant difference of the rate of early recurrence in two groups(P>0 .05) .Con‐clusion Higher expression level of CDX2 gene is mostly in AML patients ,but its expression has no relation with CR rate .CDX2 gene may be a prognostic molecular marker in AML patients ,and can be used to monitor the minimal residual disease of Normal chromosome karyotype AML .

At present, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2(SARS-CoV-2)infection is still rampant worldwide.As of September 10, 2021, there were about 222 million confirmed cases of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)and more than 4.6 million deaths worldwide.With the development of COVID-19 vaccines and the gradual vaccination worldwide, the increasing number of cases in children and unvaccinated young people has drawn attention.According to World Health Organization surveillance data, the proportion of COVID-19 infection cases in children gradually increased, and the proportion of cases in the age groups of under 5 years and 5-14 years increased from 1.0% and 2.5% in January 2020 to 2.0% and 8.7% in July 2021, respectively.At present, billions of adults have been vaccinated with various COVID-19 vaccines worldwide, and their protective effects including reducing infection and transmission, reducing severe disease and hospitalization, and reducing death, as well as high safety have been confirmed.Canada, the United States, Europe and other countries have approved the emergency COVID-19 vaccination in children and adolescents aged 12 to 17 years, and China has also approved the phased vaccination of COVID-19 vaccination in children and adolescents aged 3 to 17 years. For smooth advancement and implementation of COVID-19 vaccination in children, academic institutions, including National Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Diseases, National Center for Children′s Health, and The Society of Pediatrics, Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to reach this consensus on COVID-19 vaccination in children.

China has classified the Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19) as a statutory category B infectious disease and managed it according to Category B since January 8, 2023.In view that Omicron variant is currently the main epidemic strain in China, in order to guide the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) infection in children with the times, refer to the Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for Novel Coronavirus Infection (Trial 10 th Edition), Expert Consensus on Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Novel Coronavirus Infection in Children (Fourth Edition) and the Diagnosis and Treatment Strategy for Pediatric Related Viral Infections.The Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Novel Coronavirus Infection in Children (Fifth Edition) has been formulated and updated accordingly on related etiology, epidemiology, pathogenic mechanism, clinical manifestations, auxiliary examination, diagnosis and treatment, and added key points for the treatment of COVID-19 related encephalopathy, fulminating myocarditis and other serious complications for clinical reference.
