AIM: To investigate the frequency and pattern of deletion of p53 gene in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its clinical significance. METHODS: The interphase dual fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) technique was applied to detect loss of p53 gene in HCCs. RESULTS: The deletion of p53 gene was found in 68.0% of HCCs whereas no loss of p53 gene was detected in 40 mated normal liver specimens. Loss of p53 gene was closely related to tumor size and serum ?-fetoprotein(AFP) level in HCC patients ( P 0.05). The 2-year survival rate of postoperative HCC patients was significantly lower in the HCC cases with p53 gene deletion (25.6%) than those without p53 gene loss (69.6%) ( ? 2=11.463, P

Objective To explore the clinical feature of Kimura disease complicated with nephrotic syndrome in children. Methods The clinical data from 4 children with Kimura disease complicated with nephrotic syndrome were retrospectively analyzed. Results In all of the 4 male children, level of serum IgE was increased but level of eosinophils was not increased in peripheral blood. The renal pathological manifestations were different among them. Two cases had acute tubular injury, one case had pathological changes in repeated renal biopsy, and one case had a little of eosinophils infiltration in renal interstitium. All of them were sensitive to oral hormone treatment. Except that one case had no relapse yet in short follow-up period, the other 3 cases had relapsed and all manifested as positive urinary protein without lymphadenectasis. The 3 cases with recurrence were treated by combined immunosuppressive agents, the palindromia of two cases were reduced which were combined with tacrolimus. Conclusion The Kimura disease complicated with nephrotic syndrome in children has a long course and different renal pathological manifestations. It is sensitive to hormone treatment but easy to relapse, and the treatment should be combined with immunosuppressive therapy. Tacrolimus may have the effect on reducing relapse and delaying the progress of renal pathology.

Objective:
To analyze the improvement of executive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) aged 7-14 years with comprehensive intervention and drug therapy alone, to provide a basis for intervention research to improve ADHD.
Methods:
A total of 80 children with ADHD treated in the Third People s Hospital of Ganzhou from January 2021 to June 2022 were randomly divided into intervention group and control group. The intervention group received drug and comprehensive intervention therapy, and sensory integration training once a week for 60 to 90 min each for 12 weeks, and conduct related training for caregivers and school teachers, the control group received only drug therapy. The changes of executive function were assessed by the stroop color word association test and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) after 12 weeks of intervention.
Results:
After intervention, the results of the Stroop color word test in the intervention group (3.25±0.98, 4.92±1.40, 10.17±1.28) showed statistically significant differences ( t=12.94, 15.36, 26.34 , P <0.01) compared with those before intervention (6.47±1.92, 8.35±1.25, 16.55±1.57). There were also statistically significant differences ( t=6.76, 15.01, 16.15, P <0.01) in the control group ( 3.95 ±1.01, 5.45±1.15, 12.35±0.86) compared to those before intervention (6.17±1.87, 8.10±1.03, 16.02±1.38). Before intervention, the number of perseverative errors, non perseverative errors, and completed categories by WCST in the intervention group were (47.77±4.50, 35.50±2.37, 3.97±1.07), and in the control group were (46.45±7.34, 34.87±2.29, 3.70±1.11). After intervention, those of the intervention group and control group were (31.42±2.01, 24.75±2.05, 5.05±1.13) and (32.82±2.57, 25.55±1.04, 4.25±1.48), respectively. There were significant differences in the two groups before and after intervention ( t =21.93, 22.27 , -10.37; 10.84, 26.81, -6.90, P <0.01). After intervention, there were significant differences in the number of Stroop color word test errors, perseverative errors and non perseverative errors in WCST between the two groups ( t=-2.94, 2.29, -9.07, -2.35 , -2.06, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Through training for children and the therapy model of comprehensive intervention could significantly improve the executive function of children for a certain extent.

Objective:To analyze the gene mutation, clinical manifestations and prognosis of children with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), and to provide reference for the treatment of hereditary SRNS in children.Methods:The clinical data of 29 patients with SRNS and whole exon sequencing (WES) diagnosed in Xi′an Children′s Hospital from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:In 29 cases of SRNS with genetic testing, 10 cases (34.5%) were gene mutations, including 2 cases of congenital nephrotic syndrome. The onset age of the patients with gene mutation ranged from 0.1 to 10.7(4.06±3.73)years, and the median age of onset was 3.3 years. The clinical type was mainly nephritis (8/10), and the pathological type was mainly focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (5/7). The main mutant genes were NPHS1 (2 cases), NPHS2 (2 cases), WT1 (2 cases), SMARCAL1 (1 case), COQ8B (1 case), TRPC6 (1 case) and COL4A3 gene (1 case). The main types of genetic variation were missense mutations, and 6 (60%) cases were new mutations that had never been reported in the database containing human pathogenic mutations before. Compared with the non-gene mutation group, 24 hour urinary protein was higher [(177.92±164.59)mg/(kg·24 h) vs (84.99±40.79)mg/(kg·24 h)] in gene mutation group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). In the gene mutation group, there were 2 cases of complete remission, including 1 case of complete remission treated with coenzyme Q10, 1 case of partial remission, and 8 cases of immunosuppression treatment, with an effective rate of 2/8, while in the non-gene mutation group, the effective rate of immunosuppression treatment was 17/19, with statistically significant difference in prognosis between the two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The pathological type of children with hereditary SRNS is mainly FSGS, which are often ineffective to immunosuppressive therapy, poor prognosis and easy to progress to end-stage renal disease. Gene detection is of great significance for etiological diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation in children with SRNS.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of children with kidney diseases who developed posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), explore the risk factors of PRES in these children, improve the understanding of the diseases, and help early diagnosis and effective treatment of the diseases.Methods:The clinical manifestations, laboratory inspection results, magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) material as well as the prognosis of 10 children with kidney diseases complicated by PRES who were admitted to the Department of Nephrology, Xi′an Children′s Hospital from November 2016 to August 2018 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:A total of 10 children were recruited, including 1 boy and 9 girls, with the onset age ranging from 4 years and 3 months to 13 years [(8.53±3.09) years]. The diagnosed kidney diseases in these patients were primary nephritic syndrome (6 cases), lupus nephritis (1 case), Hepatitis B-related nephritis (1 case), polyarteritis (1 case) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (1 case). Eight children received corticosteroids and 4 of them received other immunosuppressants simultaneously.Nine children suffered from the infections.All of them had acute onset, and the main symptoms were hypertension (10/10 cases, 100.0%), headache and dizziness (5/10 cases, 50.0%), nausea and vomiting (5/10 cases, 50.0%), visual disturbance (3/10 cases, 30.0%) and convulsions by the ways of seizures definitely (9/10 cases, 90.0%). There was nothing positive in the examinations of the nervous system and fundus.Computer tomography examinations of 9 cases showed nonspecific low-density foci.The cranial MRI scan showed abnormal signals on the cerebral cortex of frontal lobe, parietal lobe and occipital lobe in all these 10 cases.The hyperintensities were observed on the fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences of all the 10 cases.Slight hyperintensities on diffusion-weighted images of 4 cases indicated that PRES progressed from reversible angiogenic edema to irreversible cytotoxic edema, meaning a poor prognosis.After blood purification treatment and reducing intracranial pressure, these 4 cases recovered.After timely treatment upon PRES diagnosis, patients had no recurrence and showed a good outcome.Conclusions:Children with kidney diseases and PRES also suffer from hypertension, and the treatment with immunosuppressive agents may precede the occurrence of PRES.Cranial MRI is important for the diagnosis of PRES.
