Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2021;36(3):222-224
The clinical data of 3 cases with myasthenia in Children′s Hospital of Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed.All the 3 patients were diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and given pyridostigmine bromide, but the treatment effect was unsatisfactory.One patient had left lower limb weakness and motor development impairment, and was diagnosed with centronuclear myopathy by gene testing.One patient had blepharoptosis, accompanied by developmental delay, facial deformity, and toe deformity.This patient was diagnosed with chromosome 18p syndrome by chromosome analysis.One patient had weakness of both legs, slight development retardation, and significantly high lactic acid levels.Basal nuclei lesions were observed under head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Whole exome sequencing (WES) and mitochondrial genome testing results revealed Leigh syndrome.Through summing up experience and lessons, strengthen and improve the clinical identification ability of clinicians for myasthenia gravis, and avoid misdiagnosis.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Although a variety of cancer therapies, such as surgical resection and local ablation, chemoembolization, radiotherapy, and systemic chemotherapy, have developed rapidly in recent years, the curative effect and 5 year-survival rate of cancer remain to be unsatisfactory. In recent years, with the deepening basic research of hydrogen, its role on the treatment of various diseases including cancer has attracted an increased attention. Hydrogen can promote the apoptosis of colon cancer cells, and which combined with 5-fluorouracil has a synergistic effect and can reduce the renal toxicity induced by cisplatin, without affecting its anti-tumor effect. Hydrogen can alleviate the side effects of radiotherapy, significantly improve the quality of life for patients with liver cancer, and does not affect the effect of radiotherapy. Hydrogen application provides a new therapeutic approach to the treatment of cancer. The specific mechanism of hydrogen in cancer treatment needs further study. This article reviewes the research progress of the role of hydrogen on the treatment of cancer, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and the regulation of signaling pathways.

Objective To investigate the distribution of anxiety and depression disorders in patients of carotid artery stenosis (CAS),and the relationship between symptoms of cerebral infarction and the severity of anxiety and depression.Methods We used Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS) created by William W.K.Zung to evaluate the anxiety and depression disorders associated with CAS in 93 patients hospitalized at the Department of Vascular Surgery,and 146 hospitalized varicose veins patients as acontrols.Results The scales of CAS are significantly higher than the control group(SAS:32 ± 8 vs 29 ± 7,P < 0.001 ; SDS:42 ± 14 vs 35 ± 11,P < 0.001),within-group analysis of CAS shows that there is no statistical difference between symptomatic group and non-symptomatic group (SAS:32 ±8 vs 32 ± 7,P =0.780; SDS:41 ± 14 vs 42 ± 14,P =0.830),or between infarction group and non-infaction group (SAS:31 ± 8 vs 33 ± 8,P =0.147; SDS:39 ± 14 vs 43 ± 13,P =0.241).Conclusions CAS can cause anxiety and depression disorders,and the disorders are not related to symptoms of cerebral ischemia and cerebral infarction.

Programmed death-1 and programmed death-ligand 1(PD-1/PD-L1)are regulatory immune checkpoint molecules that inhibit T cell activation and,therefore,play an important role in tumor immunotherapy.In recent years,increasing numbers of targeted therapeutic agents have been developed,but single immune checkpoint blockers cannot completely inhibit tumor occurrence,and tumor escape sporadically occurs.Consequently,combination therapy of targeted drugs is considered a useful method to inhibit tumorigenesis and tumor development.T cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif(ITIM)domain(TIGIT)is an inhibitory type 1 poliovirus receptor that has recently been a hotspot of targeted drug therapy research.It has been shown that the combination therapy of TIGIT plus PD-1/PD-L1 can reduce tumor escape and inhibit tumorigenesis more effectively.Therefore,this review summarizes and discusses the progress on the dual blockade of TIGIT and PD-1/PD-L1 pathways in tumor immunotherapy to provide a theoretical basis for tumor im-munotherapy.
