3.Research advances in transplantation for thalassemia major.
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics 2020;22(1):77-81
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder caused by disordered globin chain synthesis due to mutations in the regulatory genes for hemoglobin. At present, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is recognized as the only curative method for treatment. Through the revolution of pretransplantation regimens and selection of donor and source of stem cells, patients' survival has been greatly improved. This article reviews the development of transplantation for thalassemia and related research advances, in order to provide suitable treatment options for clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of SiO(2) on the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) in human lung fibroblasts in vitro and vivo.
METHODSThe experimental group comprised 32 rats while 32 rats were included in the control. In vivo, the expression of alpha-SMA in lung tissues of rats exposed to SiO(2), the supernate of RAW264.7 cells, SiO(2) and the growth factor beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) were investigated, respectively.
RESULTS(1) alpha-SMA positive myofibroblasts appeared in the lung tissues of the 28th day groups exposed to SiO(2). (2) The expression of alpha-SMA in HLF-02 cells was unregulated by TGF-beta(1) and supernate of RAW264.7 cells exposed to SiO(2). (3) The expression of alpha-SMA in HLF-02 cells was not induced by SiO(2).
CONCLUSIONMyofibroblasts related to silicosis, and the appearance of myofibroblasts (in vitro) are independent on direct stimulation by SiO(2), but related to the mediator (TGF-beta(1)) secreted by SiO(2) stimulated macrophages.

OBJECTIVETo explore the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis effects of polysaccharides extracts from Hedyotis diffusa (PEHD) on multiple myeloma (MM) cell line RPMI 8226 cells in vitro, so as to provide experimental theory for the clinical application in the treatment of MM.
METHODSMTT assay was used to examine the effects of PEHD on cell growth. The apoptotic cells were analyzed by flow cytometry with AnnexinⅤ/PI staining. Hoechst staining was used to observe the morphological changes of RPMI 8226 cell apoptosis. The expression levels of caspase-3,-8,-9, PARP, nucleoprotein NF-κB protein and other channel protein were assayed by Western blotting method.
RESULTSThe growth of RPMI 8226 cells were suppressed after treatment with PEHD, the highest inhibition rate reached to 92.3%, the results in the doses from 1 to 4 mg/ml showed a dose-and-time-dependent manner. The proportion of apoptotic cells in 1, 2 and 3 mg/ml PEHD treatment groups for 24 h were 22.52%, 62.31% and 69.94%, respectively, and significantly higher than that of control 8.93%. After treated with PEHD, apoptotic body appeared in RPMI 8226 cells nucleus and the number of apoptotic body increased in a dose-dependent manner. With the increasing of PEHD concentration, the expression of caspase-8,-9,-3 and PARP protein increased. The expression of Mcl-1, Bcl-xl, Bid and Bim protein decreased gradually, but the expression of Bax, Bak and Bad protein increased, and the expression of p-AKT protein (60 kDa) and NF-κB obviously decreased.
CONCLUSIONPEHD could inhibited the growth of RPMI 8226 cells and displayed a dose-and-time-dependent manner, its mechanism may involve cell apoptosis induction, which was associated with the activation of caspase-8, caspase-9, and caspase-3 protein and the down-regulation of p-AKT and NF-κB protein expression.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlations between preS1 antigen, HBV-DNA and hepatitis B virus (HBV) serum markers in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
METHODSThe HBV markers, preS1 antigen and HBV-DNA were determined using enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay and quantitative PCR in 1158 patients with chronic hepatitis B.
RESULTSIn these patients, the HBV-DNA positivity rate was 68.9%, significantly higher than preS1 antigen positivity (54.8%, chi2=53.24, P<0.005). The positivity rates of both HBV-DNA and PreS1-antigen were significantly higher in HBeAg-positive patients than in HBeAg-negative patients (P<0.005). The coincident rates of preS1-antigen and HBeAg with HBV-DNA were 56.9% and 63.3%, respectively. PreS1 antigen had higher sensitivity but lower specificity than HBeAg. The detection rates of preS1 antigen and HBeAg increased with the level of HBV-DNA, and preS1 antigen positivity was higher than that of HBeAg in patients with low HBV-DNA levels.
CONCLUSIONDetection of HBV serum markers along with preS1 antigen and HBV-DNA may help assess the status of viral replication and therapeutic efficacy in patients with chronic hepatitis B. PreS1 antigen may serve as an auxiliary indicator in HBeAg-negative cases or when HBV-DNA detection is impossible.

OBJECTIVETo Evaluate four kits for screening HIV antibody by comparing and analyzing the HIV antibody screening positive results and Western Blot (WB) test results.
METHODSFrom January 2004 to June 2009, three ELISA kits (Zhongshan, Biomérieux and Livzon) were used for initial screening HIV antibody. The reactive positive samples were reexamed by initial ELISA kit and a rapid kit (Abbot Determine HIV-1/2). All repeatedly reactive positive screening results were followed by WB test.
RESULTSA total of 193 (0.094%) WB confirmed positive results were obtained from 206 151 specimens. The sensitivities and predictive values of negative test result (PVN) of three ELISA kits were all 100% and those of Abbot Determine HIV-1/2 were 93.93%, and 91.67% respectively. All false negative results from Abbot were WB indeterminate. The specificities of Zhongshan, Biomérieux, Livzon and Abbot were 99.88%, 99.89%, 99.96% and 89.38%; the study predictive values of a positive test result (PVP) were 35.58%, 46.46%, 76.61% and 92.20%; the efficiencies were 99.88%, 99.89%, 99.96% and 91.98%; the areas under ROC curve of the three ELISA kits were 0.93, 0.99, and 0.95 respectively. PVP of Livzon was obviously higher than those of Zhongshan (chi(2) = 45.804, P = 0.000), Biomérieux (chi(2) = 25.231, P = 0.000) and Biomérieux was higher than Zhongshan (chi(2) = 2.488, P = 0.115). PVP of Abbot was highest (chi(2) = 18.633, P = 0.000, vs Livzon). There were some specimens with S/CO (optical density of sample/cut off) ratio < 6 or > or = 6 in all three groups with positive, indeterminate and negative WB results. The S/CO ratio from Zhongshan in confirmed positive group (14.29 + or - 2.63) was higher than in positive-negative group (2.80 + or - 3.25) (t = 17.652, P = 0.000). The S/CO ratio from Biomérieux in confirmed positive group(16.09 + or - 2.35) was higher than in positive-negative group (2.14 + or - 1.91) (t = 31.622, P = 0.000). The S/CO ratio from Livzon in confirmed positive group (11.54 + or - 1.95) was higher than in positive-indeterminate group (5.54 + or - 3.57) (t = 6.386, P = 0.000), positive-negative group (3.25 + or - 2.41) (t = 21.772, P = 0.000) and positive-indeterminate group was higher than positive-negative group (t = 2.301, P = 0.033).
CONCLUSIONThe performances of four HIV antibody screening kits are good but estimating WB confirming result in line with S/CO ratio is not available. All repeated screening positive results should be followed by confirmatory tests.

OBJECTIVETo study the anatomy of the facial artery using 16-slice spiral CT angiography (CTA).
METHODSForty-five patients without vascular pathologies or other anomalies underwent 16-slice spiral CT angiography after injection of 350 mg I/ml Omnipaque through the ulnar vein. MIP and volume rendering of the images were performed to analyze the left and right facial artery.
RESULTSThe left facial artery arose from the external carotid artery with the distances from the carotid artery bifurcation of 4.5-47.90 mm (mean 18.77-/+8.98 mm), and in 1 case (2.2%), the artery arose from the common carotid artery. The right facial artery arose from the external carotid artery in all the 45 cases (100%) with distances from the carotid artery bifurcation of 6.8-39.70 mm (mean 19.23-/+8.25 mm). The bilateral facial arteries more commonly arose from the external carotid artery independently, and the lingual artery and facial artery sharing the same trunk arising from the external carotid artery was less common. In 1 case, the left facial artery and the submental artery shared the same trunk, and in another case, the left facial artery, thyroid artery and lingual artery shared the same trunk. The diameter of the left facial artery ranged from 1.40 to 4.70 mm (mean 2.83-/+0.77 mm), and that of the right facial artery was 1.60-4.30 mm (mean 2.81-/+0.79 mm). The left facial artery ended below the angle of the mouth in 12 cases (26.67%), between the angle of the mouth and the nasal wing in 7 cases (15.56%), and above the nasal wing in 26 cases (57.77%). The right facial artery ended below the angle of the mouth in 7 cases (15.56%), between the angle of the mouth and the nasal wing in 12 cases (26.67%), and above the nasal wing in 26 cases (57.77%). The bilateral facial arteries frequently passed through the submandibular gland parenchyma (23 cases on the left and 24 cases on the right), and the facial arteries were found occasionally to run below the submandibular gland (11 cases on the left and 9 on the right).
CONCLUSION16-slice spiral CT angiography can help in preoperative facial artery evaluation noninvasively. This modality can clearly display the bilateral facial arteries, including their origin, course, distribution and ending to provide detailed information for flap designing before plastic surgery and for preoperative evaluation for microvascular surgery.
