1.CD133 molecule on identification of leukemic stem cells from acute leukemia
International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;39(4):406-410
Leukemia stem cell might cause relapse and resistance in leukemia.CD133 molecule is a new biomarker of hematopoietic stem,progenitor cell,similar with CD34.In recent years,CD133 has been found to be also expressed in some hematopoietic malignancies,especially in acute leukemia.A remarkable characteristic of CD133 is that the expression of CD133 will be down-regulated as cell differentiation.Therefore,it has become a biomarker to isolate and identify human stem cells and progenitor cells.As a feasible cancer stem cells marker,CD133 plays an important role in sorting cancer stem cells from many solid tumors.Some studies have demonstrated that CD133+ cells are related to signal transduction,immune escape and resistance to medicine and radiation.CD133 is expected to become a new target on leukemia treatment.

Objective To set up assessment indexes of nursing process quality in hospitals that are scientific, practical and in keeping with the times so as to provide hospital departments in charge of nursing with the basis for reasonable assessment and scientific decision-making. Methods Typical investigations were conducted to understand the content and methods of the current assessments of nursing process quality in hospitals; the basic scope of the assessment indexes was determined through meeting discussions; the indexes were selected, verified, and established by means of brainstorming and the Delphi method; field surveys were conducted to assess and analyze the nursing process quality in 25 departments. Results A system of comprehensive assessment of nursing process quality in hospitals was established. It covered four categories, viz. nursing services, nursing control, nursing skills and nursing safety, and decomposed into assessment indexes of different levels, with the overall structure consisting of 1 overall goal, 4 first-level indexes, 12 second-level indexes, 5 third-level indexes and 290 subindexes. Conclusion The new system of indexes, which stresses the idea of nursing services, highlights the quality control principle of focusing on the patients,and is characterized by clear-cut structure and easy operability, provides a reliable guarantee for scientifically and rationally assessing nursing process quality.

Objective To discuss the expression level of serum procalcitonin( PCT) and clinical val-ue in acute viral diarrhea patients. Methods A total of 186 patients with acute viral diarrhea treated in our hospital from September 2013 to September 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. One hundred and seven were male and 79 were female,of which 171 cases were infected by rotavirus and 15 cases infected by norovirus. The average age was ( 1. 29 ± 0. 89 ) years old. All patients′ blood and stool cultures were negative. The patients were divided into three groups according to the degree of dehydration and whether complicated with multiple organ dysfunction or not:severe group( complicated with severe dehydration,shock or multiple organ dysfunction,n=33),mild-moderate dehydration group(n=68) and no dehydration group(n=85). Thirty-five healthy children with the same age were enrolled as the control group. Serum PCT levels,high sensitivity CRP(hs CRP) and blood routine were detected. Results The serum PCT levels increased in 73 patients with acute viral diarrhea,8 cases>100 ng/ml,21 cases 5 to 100 ng/ml and 44 cases 0. 5 to 5. 0 ng/ml. PCT( ng/ml)[0. 36(0. 14,1. 67),hsCRP(mg/L)[3. 50(0. 70,14. 83)] and WBC( × 109/L)[9. 06(6. 79,12. 50)] levels increased in the diarrhea patients compared with those in the healthy group[0. 09(0. 05,0. 13);1. 00 (0.40,2.50);6.90(5.90,8.20)](all P < 0.05). The level of PCT in patients with dehydration [0.54 (0. 19,7. 83)]was higher than that without dehydration[ 0. 26(0. 11,0. 55)](P<0. 05) and increased in severe group[13. 69(3. 41,60. 30)] compared with in those the mild-moderate group[0. 33(0. 13,0. 89)] and no dehydration group[0. 26(0. 11,0. 55)](all P<0. 017),but there was no difference among groups in hsCRP and WBC levels ( P>0. 05 ) . Conclusion PCT can increase in pediatric patients with acute viral diarrhea,especially in those with severe dehydration,shock and organ dysfunction. Continued high levels of PCT indicates critical condition and has poor prognosis. PCT can be used as a good indicator to evaluate the severity of disease and the prognosis.

Objective:In May 2019, the 2018 version of Criteria and practical guidance for determination of brain death in children in China was published, which was revised by Brain Injury Evaluation Quality Control Center of National Health Commission, making the determination of brain death for pediatric patients in China more standardized and orderly.However, there is currently lacking of direction for the implementation of the above criteria for determining brain death to patients supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) in China.We successfully completed the determination of brain death and the organ transplantation(as a donor)for a pediatric case with severe brain injury and pneumorrhagia supported by VA-ECMO in our PICU, which provided clinical references for the revision of the guidelines for determination of brain death for pediatric patients in China. Methods:By referring to the international guidelines of Determination of Brain Death/ Death by Neurologic Criteria: The World Brain Death Project published in JAMA in August 2020, we performed a determination of brain death for a case of pediatric patient with severe brain injury and pneumorrhagia supported by VA-ECMO(blood flow 720 to 750 ml/min, gas flow 600 mL/min, oxygen concentration 65% to 70%)in our PICU. Results:The results of the determination of brain death included: Glasgow coma scale was 2T, all brainstem reflexes disappeared, three confirmation tests(electroencephalography, transcranial Doppler, short latency somatosensory evoked potential)all met the criterias for determination of brain death, apnea test(AT)showed PaCO 2>60 mmHg and elevated >20 mmHg than that before AT.We performed twice determination of brain death, interval time was >12 h. Finally, we successfully completed the determination of brain death and the organ transplantation(as a donor)for the case. Conclusion:The successful experience in the determination of brain death in the pediatric patient with severe brain injury and pneumorrhagia supported by VA-ECMO will provide clinical references for the revision of the guidelines for determination of brain death for pediatric patients in China.
