OBJECTIVE:To study the adsorbability of plastic transfusion bottle and infusion set to diazepam. METHODS:With the reference of plastic-bottled 5% glucose injection,HPLC was used to determine the changes of mass concentration of diazepam adding into plastic-bottled 5% glucose injection at different time;disposable plastic infusion set was connected to simulate intrave-nous infusion and determine the changes of mass concentration of diazepam in the liquid effluent at different time. RESULTS:The mass concentration of diazepam in glass infusion bottles group was higher than in plastic transfusion bottles group. The adsorbabili-ties of solutions showed the strongest at the time of 15-20 min. The mass concentration of the effluent liquid from the glass bottle group was about 80% of the original concentration and plastic bottle group was about 67%. As the time went on,the adsorbability was gradually saturated at 60 min and the concentration rose again;the mass concentration of the effluent liquid from the glass bot-tle group returned to 95%of the original concentration at 80 min and the plastic bottle group was about 75%of the original concen-tration. CONCLUSIONS:Both plastic infusion bottle and infusion set have strong adsorbability to diazepam. It is suggested that the dosage of diazepam should be increased by 25% to 33% while plastic-bottled 5% glucose injection is used as solvent for intrave-nous drip.

Objective To explore the clinical features and diagnosis of primary immunodeifciency disease caused byTyk2 gene mutations.Methods Clinical data from the ifrst case in China diagnosed of primary immunodeifciency disease caused by Tyk2 gene mutation were retrospectively analyzed, and related literature was reviewed.Results One year and 3 month old boy suffered with repeated pulmonary infection, chronic otitis media, intractable eczema like rash, repeated skin abscess, HSV infection, intracellular bacterial infection, and remarkedly increased total IgE. It was detected that compound heterozygous mutations of c.2269C>G in No. 16 exon and c.149delC in No. 3 exon inTyk2 gene. Literature searching found other 8 cases (5 males and 3 females) of immune deifciency patients caused byTyk2 gene defects, all of which hadTyk2 gene homozygous mutations and presented with repeated infection of paranasal sinus and lung. In the 8 cases 6 cases were combined with mycobacterium tuverculosis infection, 4 cases had repeated virus infection, 4 cases had meningonecephalitis, 3 cases had intractable eczema like rash, 2 cases had salmonella enteritis, 1 case had remarkedly increased total IgE, one case had elevated eosinophils, 5 cases were born in intermarriage family and 1 case died of meningitis caused by unknown etiology.Conclusions When patients have repeated paranasal sinus infection and lung infection, combined with intracellular bacterial infection (including mycobacterium tuberculosis infection), and repeated virus infection or intractable eczema like rash, with or without increased total IgE, immunodeifciency disease caused by Tyk2 gene defection should be considered. Gene sequence analysis can assist in early diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the alterations of serological endothelin(ET) in patients with kawasaki disease(KD) and its relation with coronary dilatation(CAD).Methods Serological ET were measured in 50 cases of patients with KD in acute phase as well as subacute phase; 30 cases of patients with acute febrile infection(IC) in infective phases and 30 healthy children(HC).Results 1.ET in subacute phase significantly increased than that in acute phase.2.In both acute and subacute phases of KD, ET significantly elevated higher than that in HC; and ET in subacute phase significantly elevated than that of IC. 3. Fifty-four percentage patients with KD were complicated with CAD. For CAD subgroup, ET had no difference with CAD subgroup in subacute phase.Conclusion ET has still increases in subacute of KD,which indicates the relation with coronary artery lesion.

Objective To evaluate the effects of oxycodone combined with incision infiltration with ropivacaine on postoperative outcomes in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods Eighty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 33-64 yr,weighing 45-88 kg,scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n=40 each) using a random number table:patient-controlled intravenous analgesia group (group P) and oxycodone combined with incision infiltration group (group O).In group P,fentanyl 1-2 μg/kg was intravenously infused after cholecystectomy,and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was performed with sufentanil at the end of surgery.In group O,oxycodone 0.05-0.10 mg/kg was intravenously injected after cholecystectomy,incision infiltration was performed with 0.5％ ropivacaine before suturing,and visual analog scale score was maintained ≤ 3.The emergence time,time to first flatus,time to liquid diet,first ambulation time,length of hospital stay after operation and adverse reactions were recorded.Results Compared with group P,the time to first flatus,time to liquid diet,first ambulation time and length of hospital stay after operation were significantly shortened,the incidence of urinary retention and nausea and vomiting was decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the emergence time in group O (P＞0.05).Conclusion Combination of oxycodone and incision infiltration with ropivacaine can promote postoperative outcomes in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yigan Fupi Decoction (YFD) in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) patients.

METHODSA randomized controlled clinical trail was carried out in patients with IBS-D. All patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (58 cases, treated with YFD) and the control group (58 cases, treated with Pinaverium Bromide Tablet). The treatment course was 4 weeks for all patients. The total effective rate, the stool property and state, the quality of life (QOL), and TCM syndrome efficacy were assessed by IBS bowel symptom severity scale (IBS-BSS), IBS defecation state questionnaire (IBS-DSQ), IBS quality of life questionnaire (IBS-QOL), and traditional Chinese medicine pattern curative effect scoring system (TCM-PES) before and after treatment.

RESULTSThere was no statistical difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (82.76% vs. 77.59%, P > 0.05). The treatment group was superior in the total IBS-BSS integral to the control group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of improving the stool property was better in the treatment group than in the control group (81.03% vs. 72.41%, P < 0.05). Besides, the number of days for emergent defecation among 10 days was less in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The improvement of the total IBS-QOL integral and the total integral of TCM syndrome were better in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.01). The total effective rate of TCM-PES was better in the treatment group than in the control group (84.48% vs. 70.69%, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONYFD was effective in the treatment of IBS-D patients of Gan-qi invading Pi syndrome, and could effectively relieve bowel symptoms, improve the stool property and the defecation frequency, elevate their QOL, and attenuate Gan-qi invading Pi syndrome with favorable safety and compliance.

Objective To explore the clinical phenotype, treatment and prognosis of immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome, and to improve pediatricians' knowledge of this disease. Methods Clinical data of a case of IPEX with congenital ichthyosiform skin lesions were retrospectively analyzed, and related literatures China were reviewed. Results The 2-month-11-day old boy came to our hospital due to ichthyosiform skin lesions accompanied by blood oozing in the head and feet exudatation, with severe sepsis and gastrointestinal perforation. He was died of multiple organ failure. DNA sequencing of whole-genome exon group showed a hemizygous mutation of c.1150G> A, p.A384> T in FOXP3 gene. His mother was a heterozygous mutation carrier, while his father was normal. Conclusions In addition to typical symptoms including early-onset refractory diarrhea, multiple endocrine disease and growth retardation, IPEX should be considered also in infants with ichthyosiform rash and severe infection. Gene sequencing will help diagnose the disease.

Objective To investigate the molecular defects of CYPl7A1 gene in a pedigree with two 46,XY patients suffering from 17α-hydroxylase deficiency (17-OHD) and explore the steroid biosynthetic difference in carriers of 17-OHD before and after adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) test.Methods Clinical data and hormone profiles were collected from the members of the pedigree.CYPl7A1 genotyping was performed in the patients and family members with PCR-direct sequencing.A short ACTH test was evaluated in some cases.Results The CYP17 genes of the patients were proved to hold a homozygous mutation with a base deletion and a base transversion (TAC/AA) in exon 6,which produced a missense mutation of Tyr→ Lvs at codon 329 and changed the open reading frame following this codon.The hormone response of the carriers after ACTH stimulation was abnormal between the patients and normal controls.Conclusion 17-OHD in this family was caused by CYP17A1 mutation (TAC329AA):some hormonal response to ACTH stimulation Was abnormal in carriers.

Objective Establish a method for measuring the activities of Galactocerebrosidase (GALC), α-Glucosidase(GAA), α-Galactosidase (GLA) and α-L-Iduronidase (IDUA) in dried blood spots specimen by tandem mass spectrometry ( MS/MS ).Methods A total of 2175 dried blood spot samples forinborn errors of metabolism in neonatalscreening center of Shanghai Xinhua hospital were collected in July and November, 2013.And twenty dried blood spot samples from patients withlysosomalstorage disorders( LSDs) of Shanghai Xin Hua Hospital were collected from September 2012 to January 2014.The extraction of DBS was incubated with enzyme substrates and internal standards.After liquid-liquid and solid-phase extraction, the extraction solution was dried under nitrogen and reconstituted.Then enzyme reaction products and internal standards were analyzed by MS/MS.Linearity, precision, accuracy and the limit of detection were evaluated.2175 dried blood spot samples were detected to establish the normal reference range for the activities of four enzymes according to 0.5th to 99.5th percentiles.20 specimens from patients withLSDs were detected to verify the reference range inclinical judgment.Results The intraassay and interassay precisions ranged from 1.7%to 11.8%, and the intraassay and interassay accuracies ranged from 85%to 115%.The linear coefficients for measured concentration of enzyme products/internal standards and theoretical concentration were 0.997-0.999.The limits of detection forGALC, GAA, GLA and GLA were 0.03 μmol/(L· h), 0.09 μmol/(L· h), 0.12 μmol/(L· h) and 0.16 μmol/(L· h) .The normal reference values for GALC, GAA, GLA and GLAwere 0.51-8.51μmol( L· h) ,1.99-22.22μmol/( L· h),1.68-41.59 μmol/(L· h) and 2.36-19.21 μmol/(L· h).The enzymes of 20 patients with LSDs were remarkably decreased compared to the normal range.The Krabbe, Pompe, Fabry, MPSⅠpatients can be effectively detected by this MS/MS method.Conclusions A MS/MS method for measuring GALC, GAA, GLA and IDUA enzyme activities in DBShas been established.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis(CMC).Methods The case diagnosed as CMC in the Department of Nephrology and Immunology of Shenzhen Children's Hospital in February 24,2014 was analyzed in terms of symptoms,signs,laboratory findings,gene tests and treatment process,and related literature was reviewed.Results The patient was a 14-year-old boy.The patient started to develop recurrent oral candida infection shortly after birth,then candida infection of skins and nails,which could be alleviated by antifungal agents,but easily relapsed.Since 4 years ago,autoimmune reactions such as autoimmune anemia,thrombocytopenia,leucopenia,proteinuria,and hypothyroidism had successively appeared,and cytopenia began to palliate after administering Glucocorticoid and Cyclosporin,but easily relapsed when the dosage was reduced.The genetic test showed the case was of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) gain-of-function mutation.During the hospitalization,hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) and stagnation of hematopoietic function successively occurred.The cytopenia did not improve and the patient suffered severe infection in spite of washing red blood cells 13 times and blood palate 3 times via infusion,together with high dosage of Dexamethasone and Cyclosporine.The peripheral blood cells and bone marrow gradually returned to normal after being treated by human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor combined with Dexamethasone and Cyclosporin.Retrieving the database in PubMed database,824 articles were found which were about CMC,and 39 of them were about the STAT1 gain-of-function mutation,including 120 cases.But there was only 1 domestic case in 2012,who was a three-year-old child,manifesting recurrent fungal infection of the skin.Conclusions STAT1 gain-of-function acquired mutation is one of the reasons that can lead to CMC.Autoimmune reactions prominently represented by cytopenia occur in a few patients with CMC.It should be alert on those who are with CMC and simultaneously with autoimmtne reaction of blood system.And gene tests facilitate the early diagnosis.
