1.Research progress of systemic inflammatory response syndrome in acute pancreatitis-associated lung injury
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2015;14(11):975-979
As a result of the early amplification of the inflammatory response in the acute pancreatitis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a main cause of acute pancreatitis-associated lung injury (APALI) , while early combined acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome causes a high mortality of acute pancreatitis.A series of inflammatory mediators and cytokines play important roles in the process of SIRS and APALI, therefore, inflammatory reaction restoring a balance becomes a key point of the treatment of pancreatitis lung injury.

Objective To investigate the balance of Th1/Th2 cytokines and its relationship with prognosis of severe chronic hepatitis B ( CHB ). Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from 112 severe CHB patients, 30 CHB patients and 30 healthy controls. IL-4, IFN-γ levels and HBV DNA loads were measured by ELISA and fluorescent PCR, respectively. The levels of cytokines in different stages, and their correlations with HBV DNA loads and short-term prognosis were analyzed. Results Higher levels of IL-4, IFN-γ and Th1/Th2 ratios in peripheral blood were detected in patients with severe CHB than those with CHB and the healthy controls (Z = 8.968, 10. 004 and 26. 067, P =0. 009, 0. 007 and 0. 000). IL4 levels in patients with end-stage server CHB were markedly higher than those in other stages ( Z = 3. 672 and 3. 158, P= 0.000 and 0.002), while their Thl/Th2 ratios were lower (Z=3. 161 and 2. 166, P=0.002 and 0. 030). No significant differences on levels of IL-4, IFN-γ and Th1/Th2 ratios were observed in severe CHB patients with different HBV DNA levels (Z =4.431, 2.626 and 0. 140, P =0.219, 0.403 and 0. 987). Elevated IL-4 was closely correlated with the high case-fatality rate within 12 weeks. Conclusions The balance between Th1 and Th2 cytokines is- disturbed in patients with severe CHB. Thl/Th2 ratio decreases with the aggravation of diseases, which may indicate unfavorable short-term prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations and pathogenic gene mutation sites of familial cavernous hemangioma by a pedigree study of this disease.Methods:A family of cerebral cavernous hemangioma who was admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology in April 2019 was diagnosed as cerebral cavernous hemangioma type 1 based on clinical manifestations and head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion weighted imaging and susceptibility weighted imaging screening. According to Zabramski classification criteria, the family′s clinical data were collected and genes were sequenced.Results:A 58-year-old female proband had dizziness and headache as the main symptoms, her daughter and son had no clinical symptoms, and her granddaughter had clinical manifestations of cerebral hemorrhage and seizures. The proband and her family members showed multiple cavernous hemangioma on cranial MRI,and the p.L436fs mutation in the KRIT1 gene of familial cerebral cavernous malformation type 1 was confirmed through genetic examination, which was consistent with the Zabramski typing results based on head MRI. The mutation site of the familial spongiform malformation type 1 pathogenic gene was found to be p.L436fs in KRIT1 gene, which has not been reported in familial cerebral cavernous hemangioma type 1 until now.Conclusion:A new p.L436fs mutation of KRIT1 gene was found in familial cerebral cavernous malformation type 1, which expands understanding of the clinical manifestations and pathogenic gene mutation sites of familial cavernous hemangioma.

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the change of the position of the tongue before and after combined treatment of maxillary expansion and orofacial myofunctional therapy in children with mouth-breathing and skeletal class Ⅱmalocclusion. Methods:A total of 30 children with skeletal class Ⅱ malocclusion and unobstructed upper airway were selected. The 30 children were divided into mouth-breathing group(n=15) and nasal-breathing group(n=15) and CBCT was taken. The images were measured by Invivo5 software. The measurement results of the tongue position of the two groups were analyzed by independent samples t-test. 15 mouth-breathing children with skeletal class Ⅱ malocclusion were selected for maxillary expansion and orofacial myofunctional therapy. CBCT was taken before and after treatment, the measurements were analyzed by paired sample t test with SPSS 27.0 software package. Results:The measurement of the tongue position of the mouth-breathing and nasal-breathing groups were compared, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The measurement of the tongue position showed significant difference after the combined treatment of maxillary expansion and orofacial myofunctional therapy in children with mouth-breathing and skeletal class Ⅱmalocclusion(P<0.05). Conclusion:Skeletal class Ⅱ malocclusion children with mouth-breathing have low tongue posture. The combined treatment of maxillary expansion and orofacial myofunctional therapy can change the position of the tongue.
