Objective To investigate the effects of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF 1) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) in he pathogenesis of children with allergic purpura kidney damage.Methods 135 henoch-schonlein purpura (HSP) children with kidney damage were divided into HSP and HSPN group according to whether associated with renal damage,blood IGF 1,TGF-β1,urinary inhibition C (Cys C),creatinine (SCr) and content of urea nitrogen (BUN) were compared,and blood IGF-1,TGF-β1 and Cys C content of HSPN patients in different pathological grading were compared,the correlation of blood IGF 1,TGF-β1 and Cys C content of the HSPN group were analyzed,Results Blood IGF 1,TGF-β1 and Cys C content of the control group(117.2±18.8 ng/L,164.2±18.4 ng/L,0.9±0.2 mg/L),the HSP group(131.7±19.6 ng/L,282.1±28.3 ng/L,1.1±0.2 mg/L) and the HSPN group (205.3±24.5 ng/L,489.2±32.7 ng/L,1.3±0.3 mg/L) showed a trend of increasing gradually (F=4.824～45.066,P value＜0.01),the HSP group and the HSPN group were higher than that of the control group (q=3.397～58.931,P value＜0.01),the HSPN group was higher than that of the HSP group (q=16.997,35.193,P value＜0.01),the difference was statistically significant.Blood IGF-1 (level Ⅱ 175.6 ± 20.4 ng/L,level m198.5±23.3 ng/L,level Ⅳ241.7±25.1 ng/L),TGF-β1(level Ⅱ 392.8±38.9 ng/L,level Ⅲ 481.3± 44.03 ng/L,level Ⅳ 537.6±42.9 ng/L),Cys C (level 11 1.1±0.3 mg/L,level Ⅲ 1.3±0.4 mg/L,level Ⅳ1.6±0.4 mg/L) content of children with HSPN increased with the increase of renal pathology classification (F=6.594～ 28.317,P value ＜0.01),blood IGF-1,TGF-β1 and Cys C content of kidney pathology classification of Ⅵ level in children was higher than that of the level of Ⅱ and Ⅲ in children (q=2.415～11.818,P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while the contern of blood IGF-1,TGF-β1 and Cys C of level Ⅲ in children was higher than that of the level Ⅱ in children (q=2.577～6.244,P＜0.05 orP＜ 0.01),the difference was statistically significant.Blood IGF-1,TGF-β1 content of children with HSPN were positively correlated with Cys C content of children (r=0.648,0.719,P＜0.05),but blood IGF 1 content was significantly positive correlated with TGF-β1 content (r=0.748,P＜0.05).Conclusion IGF 1 and TGF-β31 partieipated in the pathogenesis of HSPN,and both were correlated with the degree of the pathological damage.

Objective: To investigate the dynamic expression of placenta growth factor (PlGF) in the lungs and its role in paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis and to evaluate the effect of ACEI captopril and AT (1) -receptor blocker losartan on paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: 84 adult healthy female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups of different treatments designated as: Control, PQ alone (PQ) , captopril treatment, losartan treatment. Each group was divided into three subgroups of seven animals each. The animals were killed at either 7, 14 or 28 days after PQ administration. The rats in PQ group, treatment group were treated intragastrically (ig) with PQ (40 mg/kg) and the rats in control group were treated with the same dose of saline at the beginning of the experiment. The treatment group received Captopril (60 mg/kg; ig) or Losartan (10 mg/kg; ig) once a day respectively after PQ administration and the other two groups received saline. At the given timepoint, animals were sacrificed and lungs were harvested. A semiquantitative assay of histological examination, hydroxyproline in lung tissues were used to determine the severity of alveolitis and fibrosis. RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of PlGF. Results: Inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrotic scores were more prominent in the model group, hydroxyproline contents in lung tissue were significantly increased after PQ administration compared to the control group. Captopril, losartan apparently attenuated the degree of lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis. On 7th, 14th days, the levels of alveolitis in the intervention groups were significantly alleviated as compared with the model group (P<0.05) . On 28th days, the levels of pulmonary fibrosis in the intervention groups were significantly alleviated as compared with model group (P<0.05) . The hydroxyproline contents in the intervention groups were significantly decreased as compared with model group (P<0.01) . PlGF mRNA on day 7, 14, 28 (1.28±0.29vs0.10±0.01、0.80±0.07vs0.10±0.01、0.65±0.13vs0.10±0.01) in the PQ group were all upregulated as compared with that of the control group. PlGF mRNA on day 7, 14, 28 in the captopril and Losartan intervention groups were significantly decreased (0.94±0.04、0.71±0.09、0.52±0.24 and 0.80±0.12、0.66±0.11、0.51±0.03) . PlGF positive expression index on day 7, 14, 28 (2.27±0.34 vs0.13±0.01、1.78±0.41 vs0.14±0.03、1.25±0.69 vs0.13±0.01) in the PQ group were all upregulated as compared with that of the control group. PlGF positive expression index on day 7, 14, 28 in the captopril and Losartan treatment groups were significantly decreased (1.53±0.78、1.17±0.79、0.97±0.61 and 1.36±0.63、1.24±0.80、0.83±0.47) . PlGF positive expression index on day 7 in the two intervention groups were significantly decreased, as compared with PQ group (P<0.05) . Conclusion PlGF may plays an important role in the development of pulmonary fibrosis following paraquat-induced lung injury in rats. Captopril and losartan had an inhibitory effect on paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis, and the effect may be due to inhibition of angiotensin II and, in part, be associated with reduction in PlGF.

Objective To detect chromosomal aberrations of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we performed karyo?types analyses in 632 ASD trios and then investigated whether copy number variants and neurodevelopment related genes are present in the regions of chromosomal aberrations. Methods Karyotypes analyses were performed in 632 ASD trios (1896 individuals). In addition, we investigated whether there were pathogenic copy number variants located in the rele?vant regions of detected aberrant karyotypes by using the database of the International Standards for Cytogenomic Arrays (ISCA) and the Genomic Variation and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources (DECIPHER) for ASD patients. Results We detected aberrant results in 22 of 632 patients (3.48%) by karyotypes analyses. Of these 22 aberrant karyo?types, 5 were de novo (0.79%), including the duplication, the translocation, karyotypes of Turner syndrome and the addi?tional material with unknown origin. Seventeen children affected with autism had aberrant karyotypes inherited from one of their parents. By using the ISCA and the DECIPHER database, we found that several copy number variants with high pathogenicity were located in 1q25 and 3p24. Further, these copy number variants consisted of several genes related to neurodevelopment such as TNR, ASTN1, and NMNAT2. Conclusion There are a few de novo chromosomal aberrations in some patients affected with ASD. Copy number variants of several pathogenic neurodevelopmental related genes may exist in the regions of chromosomal aberrations. Karyotypes analyses may be applied to explore the genetic etiology in some patients affected with ASD.

AIM: To observe the effect of osthole on tricalcium phosphate (TCP) particles-induced calvarial osteolysis in vivo.METHODS:Male ICR mice were randomly divided into sham group , TCP group and osthole group .A mouse calvarial model of osteolysis was established by TCP particles .On the second postoperative day , osthole (20 mg/kg) was locally injected into the calvarium under the periosteum 3 times a week.Two weeks after osthole treatment , blood and calvaria were collected to determine the level of bone turnover markers such as alkaline phosphatase ( ALP) , osteocalcin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase ( TRACP) .The periosteum was performed to examine the release of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1βby ELISA.The calvaria was obtained for histological and molecular analyses.RESULTS:Data from HE and TRACP staining revealed that osthole prevented TCP particles-induced obvious increase in osteoclastogenesis and resorption area in the metaphysis of mouse calvaria .Osthole treatment increased ALP ac-tivity and osteocalcin level , and dncreased the activity of TRACP in the mouse serum compared with TCP group .Further-more, TCP particles-induced the releases of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1βwere significantly suppressed by osthole treatment .In addition, Western blot demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum ( ER) stress markers such as glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) were significantly up-regulated in TCP parti-cles-implanted calvarial mice , indicating that TCP particles triggered an ER stress response in the mouse calvarial osteolysis model , which obviously attenuated by osthole .CONCLUSION:Osthole inhibits TCP particles-induced calvarial osteolysis in mice, which is mediated by inhibition of ER stress signaling pathway .

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and genetic features of tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency(THD) caused by TH gene variants for the improvement of the understanding of the disease. Methods:The clinical and genetic data of 33 children with THD caused by TH gene variants were diagnosed in the Department of Neurology of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from May 2011 to January 2020 and their data were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results:There were 19 females and 14 males.The age at onset was ranged from 0 to 6.3 years.13 patients developed diseases, accompanied with fever after infection, and 1 patient suffered from hypoxia, 19 patients suffered from no predisposing factors.There were 7 mild TH-deficient dopa-responsive dystonia cases, 16 severe TH-deficient infantile parkinsonism with motor delay cases and 10 very severe TH-deficient progressive infantile encephalopathy cases.Clinical symptoms were fluctuating, including 26 cases of diurnal fluctuation, 22 cases of infection aggravation, and 30 cases of fatigue aggravation.The initial symptoms included tiptoeing and numbness in the limbs(7 cases), motor development retardation or degression (26 cases), fremitus (8 cases), ptosis (2 cases), and status dystonicus (3 cases). Other clinical features had hypermyotonia (23 cases), hypomyotonia (27 cases), decreased movement (27 cases), decreased facial expression (24 cases), fremitus (18 cases), tiptoeing (20 cases), talipes equinovarus (7 cases), ptosis (8 cases), oculogyric crisis (10 cases), salivation (21 cases), dysphagia (12 cases), dysarthria (16 cases), dyspnea (3 cases), increased sleep (10 cases), decreased sleep (5 cases), irritable mood (15 cases), apathetic mood (2 cases), profuse sweating (8 cases), and status dystonicus (6 cases). A total of 6 patients′ right limbs were more severe, and 14 patients′ lower limbs were more severe.Eight patients had family history, and Levodopa treatment was effective for all patients.Ten patients suffered side effects, including dyskinesia and irritability.Four patients were lost follow-up, and 29 patients were followed up between 0.8 and 13.2 years old until Ja-nuary 2020.Totally, 22 patients almost had no such symptoms.Twenty-five TH gene pathogenic variants were discovered in 33 patients.There were 13 novel variants (c.1160T>C, c.1303T>C, c.887G>A, c.1084G>A, c.1097A>T, c.734G>T, c.907C>G, c.588G>T, c.992T>G, c.755G>A, c.184-6C>T, c.1510C>T, c.910G>A) and 2 patients had c. 910G>A variant.Meanwhile, there were 5 hot variants [c.698G>A(13 cases), c.457C>T(9 cases), c.739G>A(6 cases), c.1481C>T(4 cases), c.694C>T(3 cases)]. c.910G>A(2 cases) may be the foun-der variant of Chinese population. Conclusions:THD caused by TH gene variant mostly onsets from infant, with complex clinical features.Most of these patients were severe, and only a few were very severe and mild.Very severe and mild symptoms were easily misdiagnosed.Levodopa treatment was obviously effective.A possible founder variant of Chinese population (c.910G>A) was found.c.698G>A and c. 457C>T mutations mainly appeared in patients with severe and extremely severe THD, while c. 739G>A mainly appeared in patients with mild THD.

Objective: To evaluate the implementation of vaccination certificate verification in Guizhou Province from 2020 to 2022, so as to provide reference for improving the efficiency of vaccination certificate verification and vaccine re inoculation work. Methods: Data was drawn from the 2020-2022 report on the verification of vaccination certificates for children entering daycare and enrollment in various cities and prefectures in Guizhou Province. In July, 2021, Guizhou Province began to implement a new inspection scheme with close cooperation between health and education departments, moving forward the gateway, parents using "Guizhou CDC" WeChat official account for self inspection, and a long term supervision and assessment mechanism. A comparative analysis was conducted on the evaluation of vaccination certificate verification rate, vaccination certificate holding rate, full revaccination rate of the National Immunization Program (NIP) for children and full vaccination rate of the NIP vaccine before(2020) and after(2021 and 2022) the implementation of the new plan. Chi square test was used for statistical analysis. Results: The rate of vaccination certificate verification of children enrolled in kindergarten and primary school in Guizhou Province increased from 99.85% in 2020 to 100% in 2022, the rate of holding certificate increased from 99.55% in 2020 to 99.91% in 2022, the rate of full vaccination NIP vaccines for kindergarten and primary school entry increased from 78.95% in 2020 to 96.59% in 2022, and the rate of full revaccination increased from 42.40% in 2020 to 79.19% in 2022 ( χ 2=2 203.19, 3 651.67, 291 896.31, 103 938.76, P < 0.01 ). Conclusions From 2020 to 2022, the rates of full vaccination and the full revaccination for NIP vaccine among children entering kindergarten in Guizhou Province have increased year by year. Each region should fully utilize the achievements of immunization planning informatization construction to establish effective inspection work ideas, and ensure that eligible children complete the full vaccination process of the national immunization plan vaccine.

Objective: To summarize the clinical features of leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter disease (VWM) in children. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on 54 genetically diagnosed VWM patients in Peking University First Hospital from January 2007 to March 2019. Paper registration form and electronic medical record system were used to collect the data,and the children were divided into five groups according to the age of disease onset:<1 year, 1-<2 years, 2-<4 years, 4-<8 years and 8-<18 years respectively. The progression of motor function, episodic aggravation, epileptic seizures, survival time, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and genotype features were analyzed and compared. Non-parametric test, χ² test or Fisher′s exact test were used for comparison among groups; Kaplan-Meier survival curve was adopted to delineate the survival status of the children. Results: Fifty-four VWM patients were included in the study, including 34 males and 20 females.The age of disease onset was 2 years and 8 months (ranged from 6 months to 9 years and 7 months). Onset age was less than 1 year in 5 cases; onset age was 1-<2 years in 12 cases; onset age was 2-<4 years in 25 cases; onset age was 4-<8 years, in 10 cases; onset age was 8-<18 years in 2 cases; 94% (51/54) of patients had complaint of motor regression at the first visit; 87% (47/54) of patients suffered from episodic aggravation. Episodic seizures occurred in 43% (23/54) patients. In survivors with disease durations of 1-3 years, in 38% (9/24) patients the disease was classified as grades Ⅳ-Ⅴ by gross motor function classification system (GMFCS). For the onset age 1-<2 years group, 1 patient was classified as GMFCS Ⅳ among 3 survivors with disease durations of 1-3 years. As for the 2-<4 years group, 6 patients were classified as GMFCS Ⅳ-Ⅴ among 15 patients with disease durations of 1-3 years, whereas 1 patient was classified as GMFCS Ⅳ-Ⅴ among 4 patients with disease durations of 1-3 years in the 4-<8 years group. Lesions, liquefaction and diffusion restriction in brain MRI were compared among different groups, and it was revealed that the earlier the age of disease onset was, the more likely the subcortical white matter (frontal lobe P<0.01,temporal and parieto-occipital lobe both P=0.002), internal capsule (anterior limb P<0.01, posterior limb P=0.00) and brain stem (midbrain P=0.001, pons P<0.01) were to be involved. In addition, internal capsule (anterior limb P=0.002, posterior limb P=0.005) and brain stem (midbrain P=0.001, pons P=0.003) showed more diffuse restricted diffusion. Moreover, the subcortical white matter (frontal and parieto-occipital lobe both P<0.01, temporal lobe P=0.005) showed earlier rarefaction. The 1-year and 2-year survival rates of the overall patients were 81% and 75% respectively, while the 15-year survival rate was 45%. EIF2B5 gene variation was the most common, which accounts for 43% (23/54), followed by EIF2B3 (22%, 12/54). Conclusions The majority of VWM patients complained of motor regression at the first visit, episodic aggravation and epileptic seizures are common in the course. Earlier age at onset is associated with more rapid clinical progression, shorter survival time as well as more extensive lesions, liquefaction and diffusion restriction in brain MRI. The most common variant gene is EIF2B5, followed by EIF2B3.

Objective:To investigate the genetic association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes cluster on chromosome 15q12 with autism in Chinese Han population.Methods:Totally 502 autism trios of Chinese Han ethnicity (including 502 autism individuals and 1004 healthy biological parents) were selected.All children met the autism diagnosis of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth edition (DSM-Ⅳ).Genotyping for 15 selected tag SNPs in three GABAA receptor genes (GABRB3,GABRA5,and GABRG3) was performed using Agena Bioscience MassARRAY platform.The family-based association test for 15 tag SNPs was performed to compare the transmitted frequency of al leles of heterozygous genotypes from parents to offspring in autism trios.Results:The C allele of rs7180500 in GABRG3 and the A allele of rs4906902 in GABRB3 exhibited the preferential transmission from parents to affected offspring (Z =3.573,P ＜0.001;Z =3.141,P =0.002),and the association was significant after Bonferroni correction.Conclusion:It suggests that GABRG3 and GABRB3 which located in chromosome 15q12 might be susceptibility genes in Chinese Han population.
