BACKGROUND: Wnt signaling pathway is a key regulator of cellular proliferation and differentiation, but its correlation with neural differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is not very clear. OBJECTIVE: To find out the molecules of the Wnt family which are involved in differentiation of rat BMSCs into neuron-like cells. METHODS: The rat BMSCs were separated and cultured in vitro. The morphology of the BMSCs was observed. Flow cytometry analysis was performed to detect cell phenotype CD44, CD9, CD34 and CD45. Wnt3a and Wnt5a were respectively combined with basic fibroblast growth factor to induce BMSCs differentiation into neuron-like cells, and then were identified by using immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The BMSCs were long-spindle. CD9 and CD44 were highly expressed, while CD34 and CD45 were lowly expressed. Nestin and neuron specific enolase were positive but glial fibrillary acidic protein were not obviously expressed when they were cultured with Wnt3a. In Wnt5a group, Nestin expression was weakly positive, while neuron specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein were negative. RT-PCR result revealed Nestin expressed both before and after induction in the Wnt3a induced group, neuron-specific enolase exhibited apparent amplified bands 5 days after the induction, and more apparent at 10 days. A weak amplification band of glial fibrillary acidic protein could be seen at 10 days after the induction. In Wnt5a and control groups, BMSCs induced by 10 days weakly expressed Nestin, while neuron-specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein were almost not expressed. It is indicated that Wnt3a molecule can promote the differentiation of BMSCs cultured in vitro to neuron-like cells.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and molecular genetic features of neonatal congenital Netherton syndrome (NS) caused by mutations in serine protease inhibitor of Kazal type 5 ( SPINK5) gene. Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of an NS neonate admitted to Shanghai Children's Hospital in November 2018. SPINK5 gene was analyzed using high-throughput sequencing and Sanger sequencing. Relevant articles were retrieved from various databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and PubMed, and the reported cases who were diagnosed as NS within two months after birth with SPINK5 gene sequencing results were reviewed. Clinical features, gene mutations, treatment and follow-up results of NS were summarized using descriptive statistical analysis. Results:The patient presented with diffuse erythema and desquamation, sparse hair and repeated infections shortly after birth. Laboratory tests revealed elevated IgE (111 IU/ml) and "invagination-like" change in the hair under optical microscope. SPINK5 gene analysis found that there were compound heterozygous mutations of c.2468dup (p.Lys824Glufs*4) and c.377_378del (p.Tys126*) in the child. The pedigree analysis found that the two mutations were respectively inherited from the father and the mother, which supported the diagnosis of NS caused by SPINK5 gene mutation. Though skin rash improved after comprehensive treatments including anti-infection therapy, gamma globulin injection and skincare, the patient suffered from recurrent infection and was discharged from the hospital after giving up treatment and died of infection at two months old. Eleven NS cases were retrieved from literature and altogether 12 cases were analyzed here. The most common clinical manifestations in the 12 patients were early skin diffuse erythema and desquamation (12/12), infection (8/12), dry hair (7/12), hypernatremia dehydration (7/12), high IgE (5/12), growth retardation (4/12), respiratory failure (3/12), atopic constitution (2/12), diarrhea (2/12), dysphagia (1/12), hypothermia (1/12), wheezing (1/12), hypertension (1/12), liver failure (1/12) and metabolic alkalosis (1/12). Conclusions:NS is caused by SPINK5 gene mutation with atypical manifestations in neonates. Neonates with diffuse erythema and desquamation of the skin, repeated infections, dry hair and especially with high blood IgE should be considered the possibility of NS. Genetic testing is conducive to early diagnosis, guiding treatment decisions and providing a basis for genetic counseling.

Objective To analyze the causes and explore suitable treatments for the complica-tions induced by polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG) injection for augmentation rhinoplasty. Methods The causes of the complications of 52 cases who accepted PAHG injection for augmentation rhinoplas-ty were analyzed and summarized. All the patients were treated by surgical operations to remove the injected PAHG. Results The complications included infection, granuloma, skin ulceration, bad shape, pain and serious psychological stress. Each case had 1 to 4 complications. Satisfactory results were obtained after suitable treatments. Some cases had silicone or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implant augmentation rhinoplasty at the same time or secondary to the PAHG removal. A few cases had sequelae and long time psychological stress or tend pain of nose. Conclusions The complications induced by PAHG injection for augmentation rhinoplasty are various, and may relate to the inherent character of PAHG and the anatomic features of the nasal soft tissue. Surgery can remove the PAHG as completely as possible, which is a better method to treat the complications of PAHG injection for augmentation rhinoplasty.
