Objective To explore the treatment of children with EB virus infection accompanied by facial paralysis. Method The clinical data of a child with EB virus infection accompanied by facial paralysis was analyzed retrospectively, and the related literature were reviewed. Results A 2-year-old boy was admitted to hospital due to fever and mouth askew for 4 days. After admission, he was confirmed to have EB virus infection and viremia by serology and polymerase chain reaction, and then treated with acyclovir. The symptoms of facial paralysis and EB viremia disappeared completely 14 days after antiviral treatment. There was no recurrence in the short-term follow-up. Interestingly, the literature analysis shows that there is still limited evidence for the antiviral treatment by acyclovir in children with acute infection of EB virus associated with facial paralysis. Conclusion Antiviral treatment may be beneficial to EB viremia with facial paralysis.

Objective To observe the efficacy, benefits and shortcomings of pressurized air therapy for neo- natal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Methods One hundred and nine neonates with HIE were treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) with a continuing oxygen supplement from an improved oxygen mask plus a 2.5-1itre breathing sacculus proprius in a large air-pressurized oxygen chamber. Among them there were 70 cases treated with 3-6 courses of HBO + drug therapy, 39 cases treated with a single session of HBO + drug therapy, and 32 treated with drug therapy alone. Motor development was assessed using the Chinese infantile intelligence development test scale at the ages of 3, 6 and 12 months. Results The sequential HBO + drug group achieved significantly better average motor development than the single session group or the drug only group. There was mo significant difference between the single treatment group and the drug only group. The proportion of abnormal CT results 12 months after treatment was significantly higher in the drug only group than in the sequential HBO + drug group. Conclusion Sequential HBO + drugs therapy with the improved oxygen mask is preferable to a single session of HBO + drug treatment or drug therapy alone.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations, angiographic features and clinical significance of kinking of extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA). Methods The clinical and radiological data of 21 patients with kinking of extracranial ICA were retrospectively reviewed in our hospital from April 2003 to July 2007. Fisher exact test was performed. Results Of the 21 patients, 7 hod no clinical symptoms, the other 14 showed manifestations of cerebral iachemia with varying degree. One of the characteristic clinical manifestations that neck rotation or specific positions of head and neck might induce the occurrence of clinical symptoms was found in 5 cases. The whole-brain coverage DSA accurately showed the location of kinking of extracranial ICA and the degree of vascular stenosis. In patients with α < 66%, 80% > α≥ 66% and α≥ 80%, clinical symptoms were found in 3 out of 5,7 out of 10 and 4 out of 6 patients, respectively. Fisher exact test revealed that the positive rates of clinical symptoms in three groups had no significant difference (P > 0. 05). Conclusion Kinking of extracranial ICA is a frequent vascular morphologic variation, and it is also a kind of potential disease. The whole-brain coverage DSA is a relatively reliable method to detect this variation.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2020;25(11):1223-1232
AIM: To investigate the role of miR-29a/HMGB1 signaling pathway in fibrosis H9C2 cells induced by HGHL. METHODS: DMEM medium containing glucose (33 mmol/L) and palmitate (500 μmol/L) was used to intervene in H9C2 cells for 24 h for subsequent experiments. There were 8 experimental groups, namely NC group, HGHL group, miR-NC group, mimics group, inhibitor group, pc-HMGB1 group, si-HMGB1 group, and miR-29a mimics+pc-HMGB1 group. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of H9C2 cells in each group. The Western blot experiment detected the expression of TGF-β1, CTGF, MMP-9, PPARγ, and HMGB1 in H9C2 cells of each group. RT-qPCR detected the expression levels of miR-29a, TGF-β1, CTGF, MMP-9, PPARγ, HMGB1 mRNA in each group of cells. The scratch test was used to detect the migration ability of H9C2 cells in each group. RESULTS: After HGHL intervention, the apoptosis rate of H9C2 cells was significantly increased (P< 0.05), and the cell migration ability was significantly enhanced (P< 0.05). The expression level of TGF-β1, CTGF, and MMP-9 mRNA in cells increased significantly (P< 0.05), but the expression level of PPARγ mRNA decreased significantly (P< 0.05), and the expression of corresponding proteins also changed with the changes in mRNA (P< 0.05). Besides, the expression level of miR-29a in H9C2 cells was also significantly reduced (P< 0.05). After the transfection of miR-29a mimics, the increase in apoptosis rate of H9C2 cells caused by HGHL intervention was significantly inhibited (P< 0.05), and the cell migration ability was also significantly inhibited (P< 0.05). Compared with the HGHL group, TGF-β1, CTGF, and MMP-9 protein expression and mRNA expression levels in H9C2 cells were significantly lower (P< 0.05), and PPARγ protein expression and mRNA expression levels were significantly increased (P< 0.05). Transfection of miR-29a inhibitor promoted the fibrosis process of H9C2 cells induced by HGHL. miR-29a negatively regulated the expression of HMGB1 protein and its mRNA in H9C2 cells. The results of dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments showed that HMGB1 was a downstream target gene of miR-29a. Transfection of si-HMGB1 and miR-29a mimics had similar effects on H9C2 cell fibrosis induced by HGHL. Simultaneous transfection of miR-29a mimics and pc-HMGB1 had no significant effect on H9C2 cardiomyocyte fibrosis induced by HGHL. CONCLUSION: HGHL intervention can significantly increase the apoptosis rate of H9C2 cells, enhance their migration ability, and the process of fibrosis. At the same time, HGHL intervention can significantly down-regulate the expression level of miR-29a in cells, miR-29a negatively regulates the expression of HMGB1 in cells and then affects HGHL-induced H9C2 cell fibrosis.
