Purpose To investigate MRI features of encephalitis in children with severe hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD). Materials and Methods The MR images of 85 cases of clinically diagnosed encephalitis in severe HFMD patients were retrospectively reviewed. Results In 85 patients, plain MRI was negative in 28;57 cases were positive including 10 cases showing punctate or patchy lesions in cerebral hemisphere, callosum, thalamus and cerebellar vermis with isointensity or slightly hypointensity on T1WI, isointensity or slightly hyperintensity on T2WI, and hyperintensity on T2FLAIR and DWI. In 47 cases, the lesions were located in the brainstem, tegmentum of pons and medulla oblongata. MRI features included symmetric high signal on DWI in posterior portions of brainstem, hypointensity or isointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity or isointensity on T2WI and T2FLAIR (n=17);patchy long T1, long T2 signal in posterior portions of brainstem, normal or mild hyperintensity on DWI, hyperintensity on T2FLAIR (n=30); lesion extending around the fourth ventricle in 9 patients, one of which involved bilateral cerebral peduncles. Conclusion Encephalitis in children with severe HFMD has characteristic MRI features. The lesions are mostly located in the posterior portion of the brainstem. DWI and T2FLAIR can better detection lesions.

Objective:To investigate the perfection and improvement of the execution of integrative medicine therapy in severe tetanus therapy, to successfully control tetanus severe spasms, autonomic dysfunction and prevent lethal side-effect of prolong and high-dosage sedative-muscle-relaxant therapy, resulted in significant reduction of mortality of tetanus.Methods:Symptoms, treatments and outcome of tetanus patients admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from 1965 to 2020 were reviewed. Patients were classified with Ablett classification. The cases of Ablett grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ were severe tetanus. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they were treated together with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) simultaneously during the standard tetanus treatment; the patients in the TCM group were divided into the tetanus TCM medication group and the non tetanus TCM medication group according to the medicine provided whether was in accord with the conventional tetanus TCM prescriptions. The mortality of each group was calculated. In addition, one survived and one deceased case with severe convulsion, autonomic nerve dysfunction (Ablett grade Ⅳ) were selected, combined with the treatment methods and curative effects, the types, use methods and outcomes of Chinese and Western medicine were analyzed.Results:The 46 tetanus cases were treated with Western medicine. Twenty-two of them, TCM were applied. Fifteen of the 22 cases took the TCM prescription which was accord with the conventional tetanus prescription. The mortality of the 46 cases was 21.7% (10/46). The number of non-TCM group was 24 cases, with mortality of 20.8% (5/24); 1 case was Ablett Ⅱ, 1 was Ablett Ⅲ and 3 were Ablett Ⅳ. The number of the TCM group was 22 cases, with mortality of 22.7% (5/22), 2 cases were Ablett Ⅲ, 3 were Ablett Ⅳ. The TCM prescription of these 5 deceased cases was not directed towards tetanus. The tetanus TCM medication group was 15 cases, with no mortality. Case analyses: case 1 was intubated because of severe spasms. Autonomic dysfunction occurred on the 8th day after admission. Esmolol with increasing the dosage of the sedatives and muscle relaxant, was not effective. Tetanus TCM was applied after 2 days of autonomic dysfunction happened. Autonomic dysfunction was then under controlled on the 2nd day post-TCM. She was recovery and discharged after 4 weeks. Case 2, also was intubated because of severe spasms. Autonomic dysfunction happened on the 3rd day after admission, and failed to be controlled by large-dose sedatives, muscle relaxant, and Esmolol. After 8 days of persistent autonomic dysfunction, tetanus TCM was applied and autonomic dysfunction was under controlled on the 2nd day post-TCM administration. Large dosage of muscle-relaxant was applied continuously. After 5 days' administration of TCM, the TCM was withdrew. One day after the withdrawal of TCM, respiratory and cardiac arrest happened because of the diffused bronchiole obstruction with pulmonary secretions loading.Conclusion:Based on the precise and real-time diagnosis of the state of the disease, integrative medicine therapy with an overall analysis tetanus TCM prescription, is the key of declining tetanus mortality.

Objective To explore the inheritance characteristics of SCN1A gene in familial severe myoclome epilepsy in infancy.Methods The clinical information and blood of the patients and their relatives who had febrile seizure(FS)or epilepsy history were collected.Blood genome DNA were extracted.All exons of SeN1A gene were PCR amplified and screened with denaturing high Performance liquid chromatography(DHPLC)technology,and sequence analysis was performed.Results Fourteen SME patients had FS or epilepsy family history.Five were found positive history in first class relatives and 2 of them had inherited mutations of SCN1A(C.4284+2T>C and e.1216G>T):Other9 were found positive history in second class relatives and 2 of them had de novo mutations of SCN1A.Condusions SCN1A is the pathogenic gene for SME.The same muatation of SCN1A gene can be related to different clinical phenotypes.SME patients whose first class relatives with FS or epilepsy history should be taken as the focus of SCN1A inherited mutation screening.

Objective To study the SCN1A gene in a family with partial epilepsy with febrile seizures plus ( PEFS+ ) and its characteristics of inheritance. Methods The clinical features of the 2 patients and their father were summarized. All 26 exons of SCN1A gene were screened with denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), and direct sequence analysis was pedormed on those with abnormal elution peak. Pyrosequencing was subsequently performed in those without abnormality in direct sequence analysis. Results The proband and his sister had the phenotype of PEFS+ . The same heterozygous mutations (AS768G) on exon 26 which caused the related amino acid change (Q1923R) were found among them. Their father had frequent febrile seizures (FS) in childhood, and seizures stopped spontaneously. No abnormality was found in direct sequence but mosaic mutation in the same site was discovered with pyrosequencing (mutation quantity was 25% ). Conclusions The mutatin of SCN1A could cause partial epilepsy. PEFS+ could be inherited, the relatives carrying the affected gene may have mild clinical symptoms, possibly resulting from the low concentration of the mutated gene due to mosaic mutation.

Objective To study the sodium channel α1-subunit (SCN1A) gene in a pair of monozygotic twins with borderland severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (SMEB) and its characteristic of clinical manifestations. Methods The clinical features of 2 monozygotic twins were summarized. All 26 exons of SCNIA genes were screened with denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), and direct sequence analysis was performed on those with abnormal elution peak. Results The proband and her sister showed typical clinical features of SMEB. The same heterozygous mutations on exon 26 which caused the related amino acid change were found among them (c. 5348C > T, A1783E). Conclusion Monozygotic twins with similar clinical phenotype of SMEB have same SCN1A gene mutation.

Primary pigmented nodular adrenal disease (PPNAD) is a kind of autosomal dominant inherited disease. Patient in the study presented with Cushing's syndrome, and clinical and pathological diagnosis of PPNAD was confirmed. It is now confirmed that there are two relevant genes and their mutations may lead to PPNAD. This study showed no mutations in the patient, surpecting if there would be an alternative mechanism or a new gene in playing the role.

To investigate the effects and mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)modified by cytotoxicity T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4-immunoglobulin (CTLA4-Ig)gene on the rejection of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT)in rats. Methods MSC was infected with recombinant adenoviruses (Ad)5 containing CTLA4-Ig gene. After recombinant Ad-5 containing CTLA4-Ig infected MSC for 72 h,the total proteins were extracted. The protein expression of CTLA4-Ig was assessed by Western-blot.The suppression to lymphocyte proliferation by MSC and transgenic MSC were tested by cell counting kit (CCK)-8 analysis. Forty models of acute rejection after OLT in rats were established by modified Kamada’s two-cuff technique,with male Lewis and BN rats serving as liver donors and recipients respectively. Forty recipient rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 rats in each group including control group (group A, only saline solution was injected into portal venous during transplantation),MSC group (group B,MSC was injected into portal venous during transplantation),transgenic MSC group (group C,transgenic MSC was injected into portal venous during transplantation),immunosuppressant group [group D,saline solution was injected into portal venous during transplantation,and ciclosporin (CsA)was administered intramuscularly at a dose of 1.5 mg /(kg·d) for 8 days]. On the 9 th day after operation,5 rats were killed randomly in every group,then the levels of interleukin (IL)-2,interferon (IFN)-γ,IL-4 in peripheral blood were measured and the pathological changes and rejection expression of liver tissues were observed by light microscope. The survival condition of other 5 rats in 4 groups was observed. Results After recombinant Ad-5 containing CTLA4-Ig infected MSC for 72 h,the protein expression of CTLA4-Ig gene in MSC infected with Ad5-CTLA4-Ig could be detected by Western-blot.When the ratios of MSC∶peripheral blood monouclear cell (PBMC)were 1∶10 and 1∶20,the rates of suppression to lymphocyte proliferation were 85.60% and 76.69% respectively.When the ratios of transgenic MSC∶PBMC were 1∶10 and 1∶20,the rates of suppression to lymphocyte proliferation were 90.50% and 84.20% respectively. Compared with MSC,MSC infected with Ad5-CTLA4-Ig had stronger effect on suppression to lymphocyte proliferation (P <0.05 ). The survival time after liver transplantation of rats in group A,B,C,D was (13 ±3),(41 ±6),(90 ±15),(102 ±18)d respectively.There were significant differences among group A,B,C (P<0.05 )and there was no significant difference between group C and D (P>0.05 ). Compared with group A,the serum levels of IL-4 in group B and C were significantly higher (P<0.05 ). The serum levels of IL-4 in group C were significantly higher than that in group B (P<0.05 ). There was no significant difference in the serum levels of IL-4 between group C and D (P>0.05 ). Compared with group A,the serum levels of IL-2 and IFN-γin group B and C were lower significantly (P<0.05 ). The serum levels of IL-2 and IFN-γin group C were significantly lower than those in group B (both in P<0.05 ). There were no significant differences in the serum levels of IL-2 and IFN-γbetween group C and D (P>0.05 ). The pathological result of liver tissues of rats showed that the grafts of group A developed severe rejection,and the grafts of group B developed moderate rejection. And the grafts of group C and D developed slight rejection. Conclusions MSC infected with recombinant Ad5-CTLA4-Ig can inhabit the rejection in liver transplantation,and the effect is superior to MSC alone.
