Two pedigrees are reported here including two siblings and a boy who were diagnosed with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome type 3 (AGS3) caused by compound heterozygous variation of RNASEH2C gene. Prenatal gene diagnosis was performed when their mothers were pregnant again. All three cases presented with epilepsy, microcephaly, muscular hypertonia and severe language, motor and mental retardation. In pedigree 1, genetic analysis showed compound heterozygous variants of c.194G>A (p.Gly65Asp) and c.434G>T (p.Arg145Leu) in the RNASEH2C gene of proband 1 and her younger brother, which were inherited from their mother and father respectively. While in pedigree 2, c.194G>A(p.Gly65Asp) and c.227C>T(p.Pro76Leu) compound heterozygous variants in the RNASEH2C gene were found in proband 2, which were inherited from his father and mother, respectively. Diagnosis of AGS3 was confirmed in these three cases based on their medical history and the testing results. The mothers from the two families underwent prenatal diagnosis in their subsequent pregnancy, and the variation only inherited from the mothers was detected, suggesting that the two fetuses are carriers. Both families chose to continue the pregnancy and delivered at full-term. No growth or development abnormalities were reported in the children during a one-year follow-up.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expression of the drug resistance protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp) within 72 hours in the pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced status epilepticus (SE) model, and to identify the optimal detection time to inhibit P-gp. Methods mRNA and protein expressions of P-gp in rats hippocampal tissue were detected by using immunohistochemistry , RT-qPCR and Western blot at different time points after modeling (0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 h). Results The mean density of P-gp protein in the hippocampus of status epilepticus model was 0.325 1 ± 0.008 2 at 24 h, and was 0.396 3 ± 0.016 8 at 48 h, which were consistently higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, respectively). Results of qRT-PCR showed that MDR1a expression was significantly upregulated at 24 h and at 48 h (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, respectively). Western blot assay revealed that P-gp protein was also significantly increased at 48 h after seizures (P < 0.05). Conclusions The upregulation of P-gp after SE peaked at 48 h, which maybe the optimal detection time to detect drug resistant after SE.

Objective:To investigate the analgesic effect of neurotropin (NTP) on bone cancer pain (BCP) and its preliminary mechanisms in rats.Methods:(1) According to the random number table method, 72 Sprague-Dawley (SD) female rats were randomly and equally divided into 6 groups: normal control group, sham-operated group, BCP model group, BCP+low-dose NTP group, BCP+medium-dose NTP group, and BCP+high-dose NTP group ( n=12). The SHZ-88 breast cancer cells were inoculated into the tibias of rats in the latter 4 groups to establish BCP models. After 15-21 d of modeling, the rats of the latter 3 groups were intraperitoneally administered with 1.2, 2.4 and 3.6 unit NTP, respectively, once per d for 7 consecutive d. The mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) changes were measured in each group before BCP and 5, 7, 10, 14, 17, and 21 d after BCP. The number of 5-hydroxytryptamine 7 (5-HT7) positive cells and 5-HT7 protein expression in the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, respectively. (2) Twenty-four rats 21 d after BCP modeling were randomly divided into BCP group, BCP+high-dose NTP group (BCP rats with intraperitoneal injection of 3.6 unit NTP), BCP+NTP+SB-269970 group (BCP rats with pretreatment of specific 5-HT7 receptor antagonist SB-269970 in the vlPAG for 30 min, and then, with intraperitoneal injection of 3.6 unit NTP, n=8). The MWT changes were measured in each group before NTP and 15, 30, 45, 60 min after NTP. Results:(1) Seventeen and 21 d after modeling, the MWT values of the modeled hind limb of rats in BCP+low-dose NTP group, BCP+medium-dose NTP group, and BCP+high-dose NTP group were significantly higher than those in BCP group; those in the BCP+high-dose NTP group were significantly higher than those in BCP+low-dose NTP group and BCP+medium-dose NTP group; those in BCP+medium-dose NTP group were statistically higher than those in the BCP+low-dose NTP group ( P<0.05). Twenty-one d after modeling, the number of 5-HT7 receptor positive cells and protein expression in the vlPAG of rats in the BCP+low-dose NTP group, BCP+medium-dose NTP group, and BCP+high-dose NTP group were significantly larger/higher than those in BCP group; those in the BCP+high-dose NTP group were significantly larger/higher than those in BCP+low-dose NTP group and BCP+medium-dose NTP group; those in BCP+medium-dose NTP group were statistically larger/higher than those in the BCP+low-dose NTP group ( P<0.05). (2) At 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after injection of NTP, the MWT values of the modeled hind limb of rats in the BCP+high-dose NTP group and BCP+NTP+SB-269970 group increased gradually, enjoying statistical significance as compared with those in the BCP group at the same time point ( P<0.05); however, the MWT values of the BCP+NTP+SB-269970 group were significantly lower as compared with those in the BCP+high-dose NTP group at the same time point ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The activation of 5-HT7 receptor in the vlPAG is involved in the analgesic effect of NTP on BCP in rats.

Gingival recessions (GRs) result in root hypersensitivity, root surface caries, and esthetic problems. Various root coverage surgeries are being developed for periodontal plastic therapy. The tunnel technique (TUN) is one of the most widely applied surgeries due to its features of being minimally invasive, practical, excellent outcomes and long-term stability; however, there are still some limitations of this technique. The history and evolution from the envelope flap to TUN, including its efficiency when compared with coronally advanced flaps with a connective tissue graft (CTG), are reviewed in this paper. The limitations of TUN are discussed in consideration of our clinical experience; for example, there is high technique sensitivity when TUN is applied in GR>5 mm because of the great difficulty in covering the grafts. The advantages of surgical access, including vertical incisions in the vestibule, “W” type and pinhole access, are discussed for different situations. Mattress sutures and sling sutures in a single tooth or multiple teeth are applied in TUN. The different types of grafts, such as CTG, platelet-rich plasma, articular dermal matrix and xenogeneic collagen matrix, are described. Mechanical, chemical and biological conditioning of the root surface are recommended during surgery. Protecting the surgical area and taking antibiotics postoperatively are also very important. Finally, the modifications when TUN is applied with other kinds of techniques are discussed, including lateral closed TUN, laterally positioned flaps, double papilla flaps and frenuloplasty. Minimally invasive, esthetic, long-term stability and simplified techniques are the development trends of TUN in the future.

Objective:To analyze the phenotypes and genetic etiology of microcephaly- seizures-development delay (MCSZ) syndrome.Methods:The patient was diagnosed with MCSZ syndrome in June 2018 at Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital. She was the couple's first child, and the mother conceived a second child in 2020. The clinical data of the proband were retrospectively analyzed, and the bioinformatics analysis and whole-exome sequencing (WES) were performed on the proband and her parents to identify the pathogenic variants, which were further validated using Sanger sequencing. The prenatal genetic diagnosis of the second fetus was performed following the molecular diagnosis of the proband was confirmed. The clinical manifestations and pathogenesis of MCSZ syndrome were summarized by reviewing related literature.Results:(1) Case report: The patient, an eight-month-old girl, was admitted to our hospital due to microcephaly and repeated seizures. Another clinical characteristic was mental retardation. Auditory evoked potential detected moderate impairment of the left auditory nerve pathway. WES showed a compound heterozygous variation in the PNKP gene of the proband. Moreover, the pathogenic variation, c.199-10_203delinsTCTGAGGGGT, was inherited from the father, and the likely pathogenic variation, c.1505C>T(p.P502>L), was inherited from the mother, which was both de novo mutations. The compound heterozygous variation in the PNKP gene was considered genetic etiology based on the genetic testing and clinical features. Prenatal diagnosis showed that the second fetus did not inherit the PNKP gene variants from the parents and the couples chose to continue the pregnancy. A girl was born, and her psychomotor development and occipitofrontal size circumference were normal at 13 months old. (2) Literature review: 39 MCSZ syndrome cases were retrieved, including the present case and 38 cases from 12 relevant literature. The clinical characteristics were microcephaly (91.7%, 33/36), seizures (88.2%, 30/34), development delay (96.4%, 27/28), hyperactivity (25.6%, 9/39), gastroesophageal reflux (10.3%, 4/39), and hearing loss (7.7%, 3/39). Most patients' first onset of epilepsy was in infancy (96.3%, 26/27). Cranial MRI examination showed brain dysplasia in 31 cases (91.2%, 31/34). Conclusions:When the fetal head circumference is smaller than normal and is progressively reduced combined with postnatal microcephaly, epilepsy, developmental retardation, hyperactivity disorder, gastroesophageal reflux, and hearing loss, MCSZ syndrome should be considered. The prognosis varies widely, and genetic testing facilitates the early diagnosis and genetic counseling of MCSZ syndrome.
