Objective To investigate the variation of morbidity and clinical features of Henoch-Seh(o)nlein purpura (HSP) in childhood in recent years.Methods The clinical data of 901 cases with HSP admitted to our hospital from January 1,1995 to December 31,2005 were retrospectively analyzed.The constitute rate of admission,the initial clinical presentations,specific manifestations such as multi-system 23/2165(1.06%),29/2098(1.38%),24/1973(1.22%),39/2008(1.94%),54/2433(2.22%),86/2611(3.29%),94/2724(3.45%),99/3014(3;28%),138/2900(4.76%),143/3177(4.50%)and 172/3500(4.91%),resp-sixty-five of 901 HSP children (1 8.3%) had no palpable purpura at onset, 90 cases initially manifested as abdominal pain and (or) gastrointestinal bleeding,14 of them was diagnosed by gastroendoscopy which demonstrated mucous membrane vasculitis.Sixty-three cases manifested as arthritis/arthralgias,6 cases presented as renal involvement,1 case with neurological symptoms and 5 cases with other symptoms at their pancreatic involvement was present in 3 cases,cardiac involvement in 47 Cases and one case had lung hemorrhage.Conclusion The morbidity of HSP has increased in recent years.The diagnosis in patients who do not have palpable purpura at onset and patients who present with the cerebral,pulmonary,cardiac and pancreatic involvement as the initial manifestations is difficult.Special attention should be paid to this group of patients.Gastrointestinal endoscope is valuable in diagnosing HSP in patients whose initial symptoms are abdominal pain and (or) gastrointestinal bleeding.

To investigate the clinical course and management of congenital vaginal atresia.This retrospective analysis included patients with congenital vaginal atresia treated from March 2004 to August 2014 at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University.Thirty-nine patients were included in this study.Their average age was 16.87±2.2 years when they came to our hospital.Totally,51% of the patients had isolated congenital vaginal atresia with a normal cervix,whereas the others had either cervical atresia or imperforate hymen.The primary presenting signs and symptoms included primary amenorrhea (71.8%),periodic abdominalgia (41.0%),abdominal pain (36.0%),dyspareunia (10.3%),menstrual disorders (5.1%),and pelvic mass (5.1%).Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were effective inspection methods for the screening of urogenital tract-associated anomalies.Vaginoplasty mainly included simple vagina reconstruction with insertion of a mold (n=22) and split-thickness skin grafting (n=4).In 64% of surgical patients,normal menstrual bleeding was achieved.Four of the patients subsequently became pregnant and delivered at term.Primary amenorrhea,periodic abdominalgia and abdominal pain are the main reasons for the post pubertal patients to visit doctors.Surgical methods can successfully provide these patients an opportunity for subsequent conservative management,can result in normal menstrual bleeding,resolve cyclic pelvic pain,and provide some potential for fertility.

Tumor immune checkpoint therapy is a clinical treatment strategy developed based on the new principle of the inhibition of negative immune regulation. In this article, the tumor immune checkpoint therapy and the drug delivery strategies were reviewed, mainly including immunity and tumor therapy, tumor immune checkpoint therapy and its mechanism of action, clinical application of tumor immune checkpoint therapy and therapeutic drugs, immune resistance of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PDL1) treatment and countermeasures, drug delivery strategies for tumor immune checkpoint therapeutic agents, etc. As a revolutionary new immunotherapy strategy, tumor immune checkpoint therapy has shown obvious superior therapeutic efficacy in a variety types of tumor. However, tumor immune checkpoint therapy is also faced with a big challenge, namely, immunotherapy resistance. With the discovery of new mechanism, the continuous development of new therapeutic drugs and delivery strategies, tumor immune checkpoint therapy is expected to further improve the clinical efficacy of tumor.

There is obvious allele disequilibrium in nasopharyngeal carcinoma at chromosome 3p, 9p, 6q, 11q, 13q and 14q. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) susceptibility/suppressor gene candidates were obtained by molecular biology methods,such as cDNA representational difference ana-lysis. The functional research of NPC susceptibility/ suppressor gene candidates indicated: (1) The increased expression of Cx contributed to obstacles of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC), and resulted an aberration of GJIC; (2) BRD7, a transcript factor, was associated with cell cycle regulation; (3) NAG7,an estrogen receptor repressor, inhibited the invasive potential of human NPC cells by regulating ERalpha expression and the H-ras/p-c-Raf and JNK/AP-1/MMP1 signaling pathways; (4) NGX6, a metastasis-associated protein, can negative-regulate EGF/Ras/MAPK signaling transduction pathway, and interact with ezrin protein to inhibit invasion and metastasis of NPC cells; (5) SPLUNC1, a secreted protein, can inhibit the bacterium clone formation, and is an innate immune molecule. These data will lay an important foundation for the NPC mechanism.

OBJECTIVE:
To construct the genomic library of Raji cells and screen it by EBV DNA probe.
METHODS:
High molecular weight genomic DNA of Raji cells was digested by restriction enzyme BamHI. DNA fragments ranging from 9 to 23 kb were recovered by agarose gel electrophoresis, which were ligated with Lambda DASH II vector BamHI arms pre-treated with calf intestine alkaline phosphatase (CIAP). Ligated DNA was packed in vitro using Gigapack III gold packaging extract. The library was plated on XL1-blue MRA (P2) host strain.Titering and screening of the Raji genomic library were performed.
RESULTS:
The primary titer of the Raji genomic library was 1.8 x 10(5) pfu/mL, while that of the amplified library was 2.8 x 10(8) pfu/mL. Plaques (1 x 10(5)) were screened with (32)P-labeled EBV DNA probe(EBV genome 5-3271), 4 positive clones were obtained, and 1 of the 4 positive clones was picked out randomly for the second round of plaque screening. All the phage plaques were positive. DNA of the positive clone was extracted and was digested with BamHI. The length of the inserted fragment was 8.5 kb. Sequencing and BLAST analysis revealed that the inserted fragments consisted of the BamHI-W fragment at one end and clone RP11-665A22 on chromosome 15 at the other end.
CONCLUSION
The successfully established genomic library of Raji cells will provide a basis for cloning the sequences of the EBV junction sites and interpreting the mechanism of oncogenesis of EBV integration.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the effect of LRRC4, a glioma suppressive gene, on blocking U251 cells in G0/G1 by MAPK signaling pathway.
METHODS:
LRRC4 was transfected into U251 cells, and at 24 hour of post-transfection, cells were split at a 1:3 dilution, challenged with 500 microg /mL G418 and formed a stable transfected clone pool. RT-PCR, Northern blot and Western blot were used to identify the stable transfectants. ERK, JNK and P38 expression changes were analyzed by Western blot. FACS analysis, Luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot were used to detect the cell cycle and cyclin D1.
RESULTS:
LRRC4 down-regulated the expression of phosphorylated ERK2 and up-regulated the expression of total protein JNK2 (a key molecule of MAPK signaling pathway) and phosphorylated c-Jun. LRRC4 decreased the expression of mutation P53, cyclin D1 activation and its expression. U251 cells were blocked in G0/G1 by LRRC4.
CONCLUSION
LRRC4 can decrease JNK2, up-regulate the phosphoralated c-Jun, down-regulate mutant P53 and cyclin D1, and therefore block U251 cells in G0/G1.
