Objective:To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic etiology of a child with Developmental epileptic encephalopathy type 104 (DEE 104).Methods:A child who had presented at the Children′s Medical Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University in February 2021 for recurrent seizures over 1 month was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected. Peripheral blood samples of the child and his parents were collected and subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES). Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:The child, a five-month-old male, had presented with frequent focal seizures with severe developmental retardation from infancy. Physical examination showed emaciation, microcephaly, oblique palpebral fissures, Stahl′s ears, and hypotonia in the limbs. Electroencephalogram revealed multi-focal sharp waves, slow waves and slow spinal waves. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging revealed enlargement of bilateral lateral ventricles and the third ventricle, along with widening of brain sulci, fissure and cisterna. WES revealed that he had harbored a heterozygous c. 2401C>T (p.His801Tyr) missense variant of the ATP6V0A1 gene. Sanger sequencing showed that both of his parents were of the wild type. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was predicted to be likely pathogenic (PS2+ PM2_Supporting+ PP3). The proband was diagnosed with DEE 104. Early treatment with sodium valproate has failed, but the child had become seizure free after the addition of levetiracetam and topiramate. He still had abnormal EEG discharges and severe psychomotor retardation. Combining our case and a review of literature, DEE104 is mainly caused by de novo heterozygous variants of the ATP6V0A1 gene with an autosomal dominant inheritance. The patients may show refractory epilepsy and severe global developmental delay from infancy. Conclusion:The c. 2401C>T (p.His801Tyr) variant probably underlay the DEE104 in this child.

Neurodegenerative diseases(NDs)are closely related to the central nervous system and characterized by morphological abnormalities and progressive loss of function in specific neuron groups.The main NDs include Alzheimer's disease,Parkinson's disease,amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,multiple sclerosis and Huntington's disease.However,no direct therapies for NDs exist.In recent years,single cell RNA-sequencing(scRNA-seq)has been widely used in various NDs.The pathogenesis of NDs is closely related to morphology of immune cells,and the pathogenesis mainly involves mitochondrial function,glucose metabolism,inflammation,and synaptic transmission.Induced pluripotent stem cells are a potential therapy for NDs.Ultimately,we review the application of scRNA-seq to various NDs and provide a reference for prevention and treatment of NDs.

Objective:To compare the early therapeutic effects of internal fixation with percutaneous minimally invasive hollow nail assisted by electromagnetic navigation robot and guided by C-arm in the treatment of Tile type C pelvic fracture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 32 patients with Tile type C pelvic fracture admitted to Weihai Central Hospital from January 2020 to March 2022, including 18 males and 14 females; aged 36-60 years [(44.1±3.9)years]. Among them, 17 patients were treated with internal fixation with percutaneous minimally invasive hollow nail assisted by electromagnetic navigation robot (electromagnetic navigation group), and 15 with internal fixation with percutaneous minimally invasive hollow nail guided by C-arm (C-arm guidance group). Operative time, intraoperative blood loss, sacroiliac screw placement time, pubic branch screw placement time, ambulation time and fracture healing time were compared between the two groups. Visual analog scale (VAS), Majeed function score and complication rate at 1 day, 6 months, 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-24 months [(15.4±0.5)months]. The operative time and intraoperative blood loss in the electromagnetic navigation group were (42.0±2.5)minutes and (10.9±2.6)ml, shorter or less than (50.0±3.5)minutes and (14.9±3.1)ml in the C-arm guidance group (all P<0.01). The placement time of sacroiliac screw and pubic branch screw in the electromagnetic navigation group was (12.4±0.2)minutes and (10.1±0.3)minutes, shorter than (15.3±0.3)minutes and (13.2±0.3)minutes in the C-arm guidance group (all P<0.01). The ambulation time was (3.2±0.4)weeks in the electromagnetic navigation group, earlier than (3.5±0.4)weeks in the C-arm guidance group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in fracture healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). VAS scores of the electromagnetic navigation group were (4.4±0.3)points and (1.1±0.1)points at 1 day and 6 months after surgery respectively, lower than those of the C-arm guidance group [(4.8±0.4)points and (1.2±0.3)points] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Majeed function scores of the electromagnetic navigation group were (37.3±1.1)points and (88.5±1.4)points at 1 day and 6 months after surgery respectively, higher than those of the C-arm guidance group [(30.7±4.2)points and (82.6±1.8)points] (all P<0.01). There were no significant differences in VAS and Majeed scores at 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up between the two groups (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with C-arm guidance, electromagnetic navigation robot-assisted internal fixation with percutaneous minimally invasive hollow nail for Tile type C pelvic fracture can reduce operative time and intraoperative blood loss, shorten screw placement time and ambulation time, relieve pain and improve functional recovery at early stage.

OBJECTIVE: To construct polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) microspheres loaded with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and human β-defensin 3 (HBD3), and evaluate the antibacterial activity of microspheres and the effect of promoting osteogenic differentiation, aiming to provide a new option of material for bone tissue engineering. METHODS: The soybean lecithin (SL)-BMP-2 and SL-HBD3 were prepared by SL-mediated introduction of growth factors into polyesters technology, and the functional microsphere (f-PMS) containing BMP-2 and HBD3 were prepared by microfluidic technology, while pure microsphere (p-PMS) was prepared by the same method as the control. The morphology of microspheres was observed by scanning electron microscopy and the water absorption was detected; the release curves of BMP-2 and HBD3 in f-PMS were detected by ELISA kit. The antibacterial effect of microspheres in Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was tested with the LIVE/DEAD^TM BacLight^TM bacterial staining kit; the biocompatibility of microspheres was tested using Transwell and cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8). The effect of microspheres on osteogenic differentiation was determined by collagen type Ⅰ (COL-1) immunofluorescence staining and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentration. RESULTS: In this experiment, the f-PMS and p-PMS were successfully constructed. Morphological characteristics showed that p-PMS surface was rough and distributed with micropores of 1-3 μm, while f-PMS surface was smooth and existed white granular material. There was no significant difference in water absorption between the two groups (P>0.05). The release curves of BMP-2 and HBD3 in the f-PMS and p-PMS were basically the same, showing both early sudden release and late slow release. The antibacterial activity of f-PMS was significantly higher than that of p-PMS in the test that against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in biocompatibility between the two groups (P>0.05). The results of osteogenic differentiation of human BMSCs showed that the fluorescence intensity of osteogenic specific protein COL-1 of f-PMS was significantly higher than that in p-PMS, and the activity of ALP in f-PMS was also significantly higher than that in p-PMS (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The p-PHA have good antibacterial activity and biocompatibility, and can effectively promote the osteogenic differentiation of human BMSCs, which is expected to be applied to bone tissue engineering in the future.

A fast,reliable,and cost-effective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was established to determine the effects of the traditional Chinese medicine employed to treat coronavirus disease 2019,namely,Lianhua Qingwen granules,Huoxiang Zhengqi capsules,Jinhua Qinggan granules,Shufeng Jiedu capsules,and Angong Niuhuang pills,on the pharmacokinetics of lopinavir/ritonavir in rats.Blood samples were prepared using the protein precipitation method and atazanavir was selected as the internal standard(IS).Separation was performed on an Agilent ZORBAX eclipse plus C18(2.1 mm x 50 mm,1.8 μm)column using acetonitrile and water containing 0.1％formic acid as the mobile phase for gradient elution.The flow rate was 0.4 mL/min and the injection volume was 2 μL Agilent Jet Stream electrospray ionization was used for mass spectrometry detection under positive ion multiple reaction monitoring mode at a transition of m/z 629.3→447.3 for lopinavir,m/z 721.3→296.1 for rito-navir,and m/z 705.4→168.1 for the IS.The method showed good linearity in the concentration range of 25-2500 ng/mL(r=0.9981)for lopinavir and 5-500 ng/mL(r=0.9984)for ritonavir.The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy were both within±15％.Items,such as dilution reliability and residual effect,were also within the acceptable limits.The method was used to determine the effects of five types of traditional Chinese medicines on the pharmacokinetics of lopinavir/ritonavir in rats.The pharmaco-kinetic results showed that the half-life of ritonavir in the groups administered Lianhua Qingwen granules and Huoxiang Zhengqi capsules combined with lopinavir/ritonavir was prolonged by approx-imately 1.5-to 2-fold relative to that in the control group.Similarly,the pharmacokinetic parameters of lopinavir were altered.Overall,the results of this study offer important theoretical parameters for the effective clinical use of five types of traditional Chinese medicines combined with lopinavir/ritonavir to reduce the occurrence of clinical adverse reactions.

Objective:To investigate the influence of modified catheter thrombolytic regimen on clinical efficacy and safety of patients with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT).Methods:From March 2016 to March 2018, 86 patients with acute DVT were chosen in the Central Hospital of Yuncheng and randomly divided into two groups by random drawing method, with 43 cases in each group.The control group received routine catheter thrombolytic regimen, and the observation group received modified catheter thrombolysis regimen.The postoperative detumescence rate, postoperative lower limb circumference difference, venous patency score before and after operation, postoperative venous patency rate, operation time, thrombolytic costs, urokinase dosage, reduction amount of hemoglobin after operation and incidence of complications after operation of the two groups were compared.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the postoperative detumescence rate, postoperative lower limb circumference difference, venous patency score after operation, postoperative venous patency rate between the two groups[(81.52±3.05)% vs.(84.66±4.29)%; (1.10±0.34)cm vs.(1.24±0.39)cm; (2.40±0.53)points vs.(2.51±0.59)points; (63.16±6.98)% vs.(64.81±7.15)%; t=0.58, 0.70, 0.16, 0.25, all P>0.05]. The operation time and reduction amount of hemoglobin after operation of the observation group were significantly more than those of the control group[(42.81±6.17)min vs.(20.86±3.02)min; (12.84±3.96)g/L vs.(4.13±1.02)g/L; t=4.26, 3.51, P<0.05]. The thrombolytic costs and urokinase dosage of the observation group were significantly less than those of the control group[(4 129.25±584.57)CNY vs.(7 251.49±695.70)CNY; (79.17±10.79)×10 4U vs.(217.13±38.76)×10 4U; t=7.14, 10.26, all P<0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications after operation between the two groups (11.63% vs.9.30%, χ 2=0.82, P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with routine catheter thrombolytic regimen, modified catheter thrombolytic regimen in the treatment of patients with acute DVT has the same clinical effects and safety, and can efficiently reduce the treatment costs and the urokinase dosage, but may also increase the operation time and bleeding volume.
