5.Differential diagnosis of pulmonary cavitary lesions in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2021;48(4):235-238
Pulmonary cavitary lesions in children consist of a group of heterogeneous diseases, mainly caused by infections, and their imaging manifestations can be similar.It is clinically difficult to distinguish them from other lesions such as bullae, cyst, and emphysema.Some scholars have advanced a concept about thin wall(4 mm or less) and thick wall(more than 4mm).People tried to make this distinction by defining cyst as a thin wall and cavity as a thick wall, but there are considerable overlaps between the two categories in etiology and pathophysiology.They are sometimes difficult to distinguish for imageology, and it is still necessary to find the cause of the disease based on the characteristics.This review divides etiology into two categories: infectious and non-infectious etiology.Combined with chest imaging examination, the purpose is to analyze and summarize the features of pulmonary cavitary lesions in children, and provide a diagnostic idea for differentiating various pulmonary cavities to guide clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate changes of ligament lengths with the wrist at the neutral and hyperextended positions in vivo. Methods Six volunteers were enrolled in this study.Their wrists were held in 3 controlled positions:the neutral position of the carpus,hyperextension with radial deviation of 0° and hyperextension with radial deviation of 10°.We obtained computed tomography scans of the wrists at the 3 positions for each subject for 3-dimensional reconstruction of the carpal and distal radioulnar joint with customized softvare (Mimics 10.0).A total of 9 palmar and dorsal wrist ligaments were measured for the length changes. Results Lengths of the radioscaphocapitate (RSC),long radiolunate (LRL),radioscapholunate (RSL),ulnocapitate (UC),ulnolunate (UL),ulnotriquetral (UT) ligaments,and the dorsal intercarpal (DIC) inserting on the scaphoid ligament at the position of hyperextension with radial deviation of 0° were significantly longer than those at the neutral position ( P < 0.05) while lengths of the dorsal-radiocarpal (DRC) ligament and the DIG ligament inserting on the trapezoid decreased significantly ( P <0.05).From 0°to 10° of wrist radial deviation in hyperextension,the UL,RSC,LRL,DIG inserting on the scaphoid and the trapezoid ligaments decreased significantly in length ( P < 0.05),while UT,UC,RSL and DRC ligaments lengthened significantly (P <0.05). Conclusions The RSL,UC and UT ligaments are subjected to higher strain at the position of hyperextension with wrist radial deviation of 10°; the RSC,LRL,UL ligaments and dorsal DIC ligament inserting on the scaphoid are subjected to higher strains at the position of hyperextension; the DRC ligament at the neutral position and the DIC ligament inserting on the trapezoid when the wrist is extended are subjected to less tension.Thses findings will help understand the mechanism and range of the injury to the wrist ligaments.

β-Thalassemia is an inheritance anaemia disease due to the defect in β- globin gene. Gene therapy is considered to be the only method which could cure this disease. Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) has benn gaining more attention as a vector in human gene therapy for its non pathogenic character and broad host range. Although, the efficacy of recombinant AAV2 (rAAV2) in transducing human hematopoietic stem cells has been investigated by researchers, the results were varied from different laboratory. The view was proposed recently that it may be resulted from helper virus in their packaging system. Respecting this, the packaging system without helper virus was used to produce rAAV2. Human early fetal liver hematopoietic cells not only possess many superior peculiarity compared to hematopoietic cells of bone marrow or cord blood, but also the inherent β-globin gene in the cells is not expressed. Studies on the AAV2 transduction of human fetal liver hematopoietic cells and mediated expression of β- globin gene in vivo were performed and the potential role of AAV2 in β-thalassemia gene therapy was analyzed. The rAAV2 containing a normal human β-globin gene (rAAV2-β-globin) without helper virus contamination were produced. The viral titer, purity and the ability of mediating expression of β-globin gene were detected in vitro. Then, human early fetal liver hematopoietic cells were isolated and were further transducted with the rAAV2-β-globin, followed by transplantation into sublethally irradiated BALB/C nude mice to analyze the β-globin gene expression. The results showed that the high titer and purity of rAAV2-β-globin had the ability of mediating β-globin gene expression in vitro. In 8 recipient BALB/C nude mice, the β-globin gene expression were detected in the 2 mice marrow by RT-PCR. The results suggested that rAAV2 could transduce human fetal liver hematopoietic cells and mediate the β-globin gene expression in BALB/C nude mice, meanwhile the expression level of the gene was still rather low. It is necessary to perform further research on AAV2 biology before applying in β-thalassemia gene therapy.
