Objective To explore the association of T cell immunoglobulin- and mucin-domain-containing molecule-3 (TIM-3) gene polymorphism and IFN-γ levels with the incidence of primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) in children. Methods A case-control study was conducted and 21 Han patients with PNS were selected and included in case group. Meanwhile, 20 each from Mongolian and Han were selected and assigned into control group and at least three generations of their family members were from the same nationality. PCR-restriction fragment polymorphism analysis was used to detect and analyze single nucleotide polymorphisms of exon -574A/C in TIM-3 gene in PNS children and controls. Also the genotype and allele frequencies between the two groups were compared. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the level of serum IFN-γ and its changes was analyzed. Results There was no significant difference in the distribution of genotypes (AA, AC, CC) of exon -574A/C in TIM-3 gene between the Han and Mongolian subgroups in control group (P=0.741). Neither did the allele frequency between the two groups (P=0.655). Compared with control group (Han and Mongolian), the frequencies of AA, AC and CC genotypes were 9.52%, 28.57% and 61.90% respectively in -574A/C loci of the Han nationality children with PNS. There was significant difference in genotypes distribution between the two groups (P=0.017). The frequency of C allele in PNS children of Han nationality was 76.2% which was higher than that in normal control group (50%), and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.005). Compared with A allele carriers, the risk of PNS in C allele carriers increased by 3.20 times (95%CI: 1.39~7.37). There were no significant differences in serum IFN-γ among the Han nationality with PNS, Han and Mongolian normal control groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The single nucleotide polymorphism of the exon -574A/C of TIM-3 gene may be related to the pathogenesis of PNS in children. In addition, IFN-γ is not associated with the incidence of primary nephrotic syndrome in children.

There is uniformed definition of rare diseases in children, which can be viewed as rare diseases that develop in childhood, or the childhood of patients with rare diseases. Rare diseases are rarely seen in clinical setting, various in types and difficult to diagnose and treat. In the past few years, with the rapid development of medical technology and the establishment and wide application of rare disease management systems, great progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases. Although the management of rare diseases is being gradually expanded and enhanced, there are still challenges, or opportunities for further improvement. China is a vast country with imbalanced distribution of medical resources. In many places, people have limited knowledge about the pathogenesis of many rare diseases. Capacities vary in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of rare disease in different places. As a result, most rare diseases are either misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a hierarchical system for the management of rare diseases, i.e., appropriate triage, risk stratification, early diagnosis and scientific treatment, and integrate regional resources into rare disease management. Studies have confirmed the existance of heterogeneity of rare diseases, with more than half of them occurring at birth or in childhood and that they are associated with a high mortality rate and a high incidence of functional disabilities in survivors. Therefore, rare diseases in child-ren deserve more attention. Standardized, protocol-based, law-based management of rare diseases in children is in urgent need. The article aims to discuss the status quo of the management of rare diseases in children, to summarize the clinical progress of rare diseases in children and to explore its prospects in the future, in the hope to provide some reference for the management of rare diseases in children.

Objective:To analyze and summarize the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant, a variant of concern (VOC), in Henan Province in 2021 in order to provide a basis for epidemic prevention and control.Methods:According to the feedback of sequencing results from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 111 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 Delta VOC were selected from the Henan imported and local cases in 2021. Basic patient information was obtained from the pandemic website. The differences in age, gender, vaccination history, the number of vaccine doses and different clinical types were analyzed. Moreover, the differences in RT-qPCR results of ORF1 ab gene and N gene Ct values between cases of different genders and symptoms were analyzed statistically. Sequencing results of the nucleotide and S protein mutation sites were analyzed. Results:There was no significant difference in the gender distribution of 111 cases between different age groups (χ 2=2.217, P=0.529). There was also no significant difference in clinical types between patients with different vaccination history (χ 2=12.074, P=0.209). The Ct values of most SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid-positive specimens were distributed in the lower range and the viral loads were higher. The difference in the Ct value of ORF1 ab gene between different gender groups was not statistically significant (χ 2=1.646, P=0.439), but were significantly different among asymptomatic, mild, normal, and severe cases (χ 2=13.257, P=0.039). There was no significant difference in N gene Ct value among cases of different genders or different symptoms (all P>0.05). The 111 patients in this study were mainly found through close-contact screening and full-staff nucleic acid screening and accounted for 62.2% (69 cases) of the total. The sequencing length coverage was basically greater than 99% (accounting for 90.1%, 100/111); the total number of nucleotide mutation sites was mostly in the range of 46-50 (86.4%, 89/103); the total number of S protein mutation sites was mostly 12 (82.5%, 85/103). The 103 Delta mutants all contained nine mutation sites, which were T19R, R158G, L452R, T478K, D614G, P681R, D950N, E156del and F157del, with a mutation rate of 100%. Conclusions:People were highly susceptible to the SARS-CoV-2 Delta in Henan Province in 2021. High viral load and increase in the ORF1 ab gene load would aggravate the clinical symptoms.

O 6-carboxymethyl guanine(O 6-CMG) is a highly mutagenic alkylation product of DNA that causes gastrointestinal cancer in organisms. Existing studies used mutant Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A (MspA) nanopore assisted by Phi29 DNA polymerase to localize it. Recently, machine learning technology has been widely used in the analysis of nanopore sequencing data. But the machine learning always need a large number of data labels that have brought extra work burden to researchers, which greatly affects its practicability. Accordingly, this paper proposes a nano-Unsupervised-Deep-Learning method (nano-UDL) based on an unsupervised clustering algorithm to identify methylation events in nanopore data automatically. Specially, nano-UDL first uses the deep AutoEncoder to extract features from the nanopore dataset and then applies the MeanShift clustering algorithm to classify data. Besides, nano-UDL can extract the optimal features for clustering by joint optimizing the clustering loss and reconstruction loss. Experimental results demonstrate that nano-UDL has relatively accurate recognition accuracy on the O 6-CMG dataset and can accurately identify all sequence segments containing O 6-CMG. In order to further verify the robustness of nano-UDL, hyperparameter sensitivity verification and ablation experiments were carried out in this paper. Using machine learning to analyze nanopore data can effectively reduce the additional cost of manual data analysis, which is significant for many biological studies, including genome sequencing.
