1.Biomarkers: the diagnostics and prognostics function in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2017;32(9):648-651
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized with arthritis in one or more joints,fever,rash and serositis.Due to the atypical symptoms and poor prognosis,it's a great challenge in the clinical diagnosis and treatment efficacy evaluation in sJIA.These challenges could be addressed by the identification of clinical biomarkers,aiming at evaluating the disease severity,predicting the activity and prognosis of sJIA.This review will be focus on genetics,serum and cellular markers in sJIA and summarize the relative application on diagnosis and treatment.

Tianjin Medical Journal 2017;45(1):43-46
Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of serum procalcitonin (PCT) level in children with acute phase of Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods The serum PCT levels and their changes before and after the treatment in 120 children with KD at acute phase were retrospectively analyzed. According to the results of ultrasonic echocardiography, all children were divided into coronary artery damage (CAL) group and no coronary artery lesion (NCAL) group. According to the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms, patients were divided into two groups (A: yes and B: no ). According to the presence of abnormal liver function, patients were divided into two groups (C:yes and D:no). PCT levels were compared between groups. Results The serum PCT levels were increased at acute phase in 56 (46.67%) patients before the treatment than those in normal children, which were decreased obviously after treatment (P<0.05). There were 31 cases combined with CAL, the rising rate of PCT was 38.71%, which was no significant difference compared with that of NCAL group (49.44%, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in serum PCT value between CAL group and NCAL group (P>0.05). The serum C-reactive protein level was significantly higher in CAL group than that of NCAL group. There were 35 patients combined with gastrointestinal symptoms in 120 KD patients. There was no significant difference in the rising rate of PCT between patients with gastrointestinal symptoms (62.86%) and patients without gastrointestinal symptoms (40.00%, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum PCT level between these two groups of patients. There were 42 cases with liver dyfunction in 120 KD patients, the PCT rising rate (52.38%) was no statistically significant difference compared with that of patients with no liver dyfunction (43.59%, P>0.05). And there was no significant difference in serum PCT value between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion PCT can reflect the acute phase of KD patients. The increased PCT level may be related with the emergence of gastrointestinal symptoms, even though it cannot predict CAL and the occurrence of liver damage.

Objective To determine clinical characteristics and the effects of drug-eluting stents on the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events during percuteneous coronary artery interventional(PCI)and long- term outcomes in patients with chronic renal insufficiency(CRI).Methods Nine hundreds and seventy three patients with angiographically-documented coronary artery disease(lumen inner diameter narrowing>50%), included 516 patients complicated with experienced renal impairment(CRI group)and 457 with normal renal function(control group).Baseline clinical data and coronary angiographic features were recorded.Results Comparing with control group,patients in CRI group were older with higher incidence of hypertension or diabetes and simultaneously complicated by reduced left ventricular ejection fraction,and more complex coronary lesions(type C).During follow-up(mean 17 months),the mortality was significantly higher in CRI than in control group(6.2% vs 3.3%,P<0.05),but the former with CRI was significantly lower by using drug-eluting stents in comparing with bare-metal stents(4.1% vs 8.5%,P<0.05).Conclusion Patients with CRI often complicated with severe coronary artery disease,the mortality after PCI would be significantly reduced by using drug-eluting stents.

Objective To investigate the gross tumor volume (GTV) changes in nonoperatively treated lung cancer patients during radiotherapy by off-line analysis using kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography (KVCBCT).Methods Eighteen nonoperatively treated lung cancer patients were divided into group A (n =13) to receive conventional radiotherapy (1.8-2.2 Gy/fraction) and group B (n =5) to receive accelerated radiotherapy (5-8 Gy/fraction).Group A was further divided into subgroup A1 (n =10) and subgroup A2 (n =3) according to GTV changes.Each patient in group A underwent KVCBCT scan before treatment once a week,and each patient in group B underwent KVCBCT scan before each treatment.KVCBCT and CT images were registered in the treatment planning system to analyze GTV changes.Results Of all patients in group A,77% showed > 20% GTV reduction.Subgroup A1 had the maximum GTV reduction in the 4th week of treatment (the 20th treatment) ;Subgroup A1 had a mean reduction of (0.94 ± 9.94)%,with a maximum value of-56.76%.Subgroup A2 showed no correlation between GTV changes and treatment time.Group B had a mean GTV reduction of (-7.41 ± 1.76)%,with a maximum value of -15.91%.Of all patients in group B,71% showed ≤ 10% GTV reduction.Small GTV changes were observed in group B.Conclusions There are no regular GTV changes in nonoperatively treated lung cancer patients during radiotherapy.Adaptive radiotherapy is recommended in the cases where GTV is reduced over 20% in the 20th treatment.

Objective · To design and synthesize a series of benzenesulfonamide derivatives, test their inhibitory activity to CDK2-cyclinA2 kinase, and investigate the structure-activity relationship. Methods · Virtual screening was executed via computer-aided drug design according to the ATP binding site in CDK2-cyclinA2 protein crystal. A series of benzenesulfonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized on the basis of the interaction modes between the lead compound and the CDK2-cyclinA2. The biological evaluation of compounds was made through the CDK2-cyclinA2 in-vitro kinase activity detection system. Results · Twenty-nine new benzenesulfonamide compounds were prepared, and their inhibitory activity to CDK2-cyclinA2 was elicited. WZ-026 had the highest inhibitory parameter, which half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 3.81 μmol/L. Conclusion · By multipurpose utilization of virtual screening, chemical synthesis, and biological activity test, a benzenesulfonamide compound WZ-026 was found, which has great inhibitory activity towards CDK2-cyclinA2. Preliminary structure-activity relationship of compounds was obtained.

Objective To explore the prenatal indications and pregnant outcome of balanced transloca-tion at amniocentesis, so as to provide scientific guidelines of prenatal diagnosis for local pregnant women. Methods Retrospective review was made on 76 cases of balanced translocation at amniocentesis from 2011 to 2015 at our hospital. Results In 76 cases, 38 cases were aged pregnancy prenatally, 20 cases carriers, 9 cas-es abnormal serum screening , 5 cases with previous abnormal births , 2 cases with abnormal ultrasound findings and 2 cases with other problems. Conclusion Balanced translocation concomitant aneuploidy , de novo X-auto-some translocation or de novo complex chromosome rearrangements can cause fetal abnormalities on prenatal di-agnosis. The results of ultrasound, FISH and array-CGH could provide for de novo simple translocation at amnio-centesis.
