Objective To analyze the correlation between acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stress differentiation factors (GDF-15), catecholamines, and heat shock proteins (HSP-70). Methods A total of 40 patients with ACS were selected from the Emergency Department of the PLA General Hospital from September 10, 2016 to October 10, 2016. 40 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group. The information of age, gender, history of smoking, drinking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes. Inspection indicators of blood biochemistry (Creation kinase Isoenzyme, Total cholesterol, Triglyceride, High-density lipoprotein, Blood glucose, Total bilirubin, Direct bilirubin), serum level of GDF-15, catecholamine (Adrenaline,norepinephrine,dopamine)and HSP-70 were collected. Evaluation of Coronary Stenosis used with Coronary Artery Lesions and Gensini Score. Statistical analysis using SPSS 17.0 statistical software, measurement data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (x±s),count data to the number of cases and percentage, measurement using t test, count data using chisquare test. Results Serum levels of GDF-15[(21.94±14.23) vs. (7.06±5.53), P=0.007],catecholami ne[(46592.15±30931.27) vs. (5507.14±2083.28), P<0.01], HSP-70 [(369.56±300.44) vs. (07.76±54.23),P<0.001],all higher than the control group. GDF-15 serum levels of Gensini scores> 40 compare with <20group was significantly higher [(324.27 ± 198.81) vs. (77.43 ± 699.22), P=0.035], serum catecholaminelevels of > 40 group compare with <20 group significantly increased [(18.71 ± 7.32) vs. (18.6±46.1),P=0.017], GDF-15 levels were significantly higher in the multi-vessel stenosis group than in the doublevessel stenosis group[ (618.40±434.42) vs. (292.07±219.65), P=0.033]. Conclusions GDF-15,catecholamine and HSP-70 are correlated with ACS, as well as the severity of coronary artery lesions.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between molecular cytogenetic abnormalities and clinical characteristics of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in childhood .Methods:A total of 403 patients newly diagnosed with ALL in the Department of Hematology, Shanghai Children′s Hospital from January 2009 to December 2018 were enrolled in this study.All the patients had completed the test of bone marrow smear cytology, immunotyping, karyotype analysis, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Results:(1)There were 240 males (59.6%) and 163 females (40.4%) aged (5.31±3.46)years.There were 374 patients(92.8%) with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL)and 29 patients(7.2%) with T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). (2)Cytogenetics: A total of 311 cases (77.2%) showed mitosis in the chromosomal karyotype analysis, of which 126 cases were abnormal (abnormality detection rate was 40.5%), including 15.4% (48/311cases) hyperdiploid.(3)Fusion gene: Positive fusion genes were found in 110 cases (27.3%), including TEL/AML1 gene in 70 cases (17.4%), BCR/ ABL in 13 cases (3.2%), MLL in 19 cases (4.7%). From 2015-2018, 8 cases (4.0%) of PBX1/TCF3 fusion gene, 1 case of EBF1-PDGFRB fusion gene, 6 cases of SIL/TAL1 fusion gene were detected, SIL/TAL1 positive patients which were accounting for 33.3% of T-ALL improved the detection rate of T-ALL molecular abnormalities.Patients with positive BCR/ ABL were older than those with positive TEL/AML1 and positive MLL[(8.01±3.11) years vs.(3.89±1.84) years, (1.56±1.25) years, P<0.001]; patients with positive PBX1/TCF3 [6.58±4.83) years]were older than those with positive TEL/AML1 and positive MLL (all P<0.05); patients with positive MLL were younger than those with positive TEL/AML1 [(1.56±1.25) years vs.(3.89±1.84) years, P=0.001]; the white blood cell (WBC) count of positive MLL patients was higher than that of positive TEL/AML1 and positive BCR/ ABL patients [(76.97±19.87)×10 9/L vs.(16.94±2.28)×10 9/L, P=0.002; (76.97±19.87)×10 9/L vs.(20.53±6.49)×10 9/L, P<0.05]; the WBC count of PBX1/TCF3 positive children was higher than that of positive TEL/AML1 patients [(85.75±30.32)×10 9/L vs.(16.94±2.28)×10 9/L, P=0.002]. The immunotyping of positive MLL patients was dominated by early precursor B-ALL (14/19 cases), while the immunotyping of TEL/AML1 and BCR/ABL positive patients were dominated by common-B-ALL(57/70 cases and 11/15 cases). (4)The detection rates of chromosome karyotype analysis, FISH, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to detect molecular genetic abnormalities in primary ALL patients, the detection rate was 40.5% (126/403 cases), 69.2% (279/403 cases), and 29.7% (60/202 cases), respectively.The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the abnormality detection rate between chromosome karyotype analysis and PCR ( P=0.71). (5)There was no significant difference in the detection rate of molecular cytogenetic abnormalities between different genders and age groups ( P=0.651, 0.721). There was a significant difference between the WBC count ≥50 × 10 9/L group and <50 × 10 9/L group(37/51 cases vs.107/352 cases, P<0.001). The detection rate of B-ALL genetic abnormalities was higher than that of T-ALL genetic abnormalities(275/374 cases vs.14/29 cases, P=0.005). Conclusions:There are a higher proportion of hyperdiploidy chromosomes in children ALL.The distribution of fusion genes is related to age, primary white blood cell count, and immunotyping.The three detection methods complement each other and greatly improve the detection rate of genetic abnormalities.The detection rate of T-ALL genetic abnormality is low, and new detection methods may be needed.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of the onset of autism spectrum disorder in male children.Methods Totally 151 male children with autism spectrum disorder were selected as case group and 119 healthy male children matched with the age of the case group in the same administrative region were taken as the control group.All children were assessed with the questionnaire for children's autism etiology and risk factors.Results (1) The differences in children having anorexia and partial eclipse (x2 =50.763,P<0.01),father's age during pregnancy (x2 =11.441,P=0.043),place of pregnancy (x2 =50.763,P<0.01),hypertension of pregnancy (x2 =5.693,P=0.026),intrauterine hypoxia (x2 =9.332,P=0.002),umbilical cord around the neck(x2 =18.483,P<0.01),parents smoking and drinking history during pregnancy (x2 =13.660,P=0.008),parental smoking (x2 =12.901,P=0.005) and alcohol consumption (x2 =8.386,P=0.039) during pregnancy,birth height of child (x2 =8.870,P=0.031),amniotic fluid pollution (x2 =4.561,P=0.043),participation time of artificial feeding,major caregivers,delayed development indicators in infants and young children and whether or not the harmonious parent-child relationship were statistically significant(P<0.05).(2) Children with anorexia and partial diet (OR =12.284,95% CI =2.768-54.507),living in rural areas during pregnancy (OR =17.251,95% CI =1.899-1 56.745),parents' history of smoking and drinking (OR =6.191,95% CI =1.678-22.838),and intrauterine hypoxia during pregnancy (OR=38.859,95%CI=2.944-512.930) may be risk factors for male autism spectrum disorder.Conclusion To correct children's anorexia bias,improve the living environment in pregnancy,reduce pregnancy complications and avoid exposure to tobacco and alcohol pollution during maternal pregnancy can be an effective entry point for the prevention and control of autism spectrum disorders in male children.
