1.Evaluation of myocardial injury markers in the diagnosis of pediatric myocardial injury diseases
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2015;(6):370-372
Pediatric cardiac injury is common in primary heart disease and secondary systemic diseases.The pathophysiological processes include ischemic injury or direct injury, as well as focal or diffuse myocardial inflammatory lesions.Myocardial injury markers, including myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme muscle B and troponin, are first used for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome(ACS) in adult, and have greatly improved the efficiency of diagnosis with their sensitivity and specificity.However, due to the very different pathogenesis of myocardial injury in pediatric and adult ACS, as well as the particularity that children are in continuous growth and development, it is necessary to evaluate the value of the myocardial injury markers and their biological reference intervals in pediatrics.
2.Detection of trace elements in children and its clinical value
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;39(4):240-242
While only in minute quantities in the body, trace elements are crucial co-factors and regulators of normal metabolism.Commonly tested elements include calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and copper.Imbalance or deficiencies in trace elements can cause growth retardation, malnutrition, immune malfunction and other abnormalities in children.Because these elements are in trace amounts, sensitivity and reproducibility of detection methods are of paramount importance.Different methods for the same element can yield different reference intervals, which, in order to be applied in the clinic, would have to be independently established by individual laboratories.Clearly defined indications and good quality control to ensure accuracy and sensitivity are necessary for the measurement of trace elements to provide objective reference for clinical diagnosis.

Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2021;44(4):285-290
As a new emerging infectious virus, 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has been widely popular all over the world since the beginning of 2020. As a special group, children have similarities and differences with adults for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment, curative effect monitoring, prognosis, virus testing methodology, infection and inflammation markers, etc. This paper mainly reviews the characteristics of COVID-19 in children from two aspects: the epidemiological and pathogenic detection characteristics, so as to provide some basis for its diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To detect the levels of Th1 and Th2 type cytokines of peripheral CD+4 T lymphocytes in patients with colonic cancer in order to find out the significance of variance of imbalance in clinical therapy.Methods The peripheral blood lymphocytes were stimulated by stimulator in order to enhance the expression of cytokines.Then a specific fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibody was added to be combined with its specific antigen.Cytokines were detected by flow cytometry.Results The levels of Th1 type cytokines such as interferon-γ/(INF-γ),interleukin-2(IL-2)were significantly lower in patients of colonic cancer than those of normal controls.The levels of Th2 type cytokines such as interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-6(IL-6)and interleukin-10(IL-10)were higher in patients of colonic cancer than those of normal controls.Conclusion Th1/Th2 shihs in colonic cancer.It is suggested that the levels of INF-γ/IL-4 in colonic cancer may provide clinical index for the prognosis and evaluation of immunity.

Objective To evaluate the effect of heat treatment on ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced oxidative injury to human melanocytes.Methods Melanocytes were isolated from adult foreskins,and subjected to a primary culture.After 3-4 passages of subculture,the melanocytes were classified into 4 groups:control group incubated at 37 ℃,heat treatment group incubated at 42 ℃ for 1 hour,UVB group exposed to UVB irradiation at 100 mJ/cm2,combination group receiving heat treatment at 42 ℃ for 1 hour followed by UVB irradiation at 100 mJ/cm2.After three successive days of treatment,MTT assay was performed to evaluate cell viability,a biochemical method to determine the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and concentration of malonaldehyde (MDA),and flow cytometry to detect intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis in melanocytes.Results The cell survival rate,apoptosis rate,SOD activity,MDA concentration and ROS level were (100 ± 6.14)%,(4.66 ± 0.58)%,(53.39 ± 8.23) U/gprot,(1.09 ± 0.32) mmol/gprot,and 1070.85 ± 42.07 in the control group respectively.UVB exposure induced a significant increase in apoptosis rate (24.14% ± 2.90%,P < 0.001),MDA concentration (1.65 ± 0.33 mmol/gprot,P < 0.01) and ROS level (1416.45 ± 79.12,P< 0.01),but a significant decrease in cell survival rate (50.23% ± 5.36%,P< 0.01)and SOD activity (31.98 ± 1 1.89 U/gprot,P < 0.01) in the UVB group compared with the control group,while the heat pretreatment markedly downregulated the UVB-induced increase in apoptosis rate (14.9% ± 1.49%,P < 0.001),MDA concentration (1.10 ± 0.26 mmol/gprot) and ROS level (1033.30 ± 68.41,P< 0.01),as well as the decrease in cell survival rate (74.12% ± 6.17%,P< 0.01) and SOD activity (51.63 ± 6.55 U/gprot,P< 0.01) in the combination group.Conclusion Heat treatment could protect melanocytes from UVB-induced oxidative injury.

Objective To evaluate the effect of a nurse-lead rehabilitation training on quality of life and psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia inpatients. Methods Totally 190 schizophrenia inpatients were divided into the intervention group (96 cases) and the control group (94 cases). In addition to rehabilitation activities which can be chosen freely, the schizophrenia in the intervention group received rehabilitation training including medication training, life skills training, social skill training and physical training, while the schizophrenia in the control group could only chose rehabilitation activities freely. The quality of life and the psychotic symptoms of the schizophrenia while enrolled and discharged were evaluated. Results No significant difference was found in the score of Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQLS) and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) between the two groups(P>0.05)while enrolled. The scores of SQLS, psychosocial and motivation/energy in the control group were 30.22 ± 17.21, 30.22 ± 17.21 and 18.28± 9.33, while 21.41±14.63,19.76± 18.85 and 15.95± 8.80 in the intervention group one month after intervention, the difference was significant (t=-2.14,-2.19,-1.99,P<0.05). The scores of BPRS and hostile suspiciousness in the control group were 26.39 ± 6.37 and 4.11 ± 1.87 , while 23.67 ± 6.37 and 3.44± 1.26 in the intervention group one month after intervention, the difference was significant (t=-2.33,-2.54, P<0.05). Conclusions The nurse-lead rehabilitation training can improve the quality of life and psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia inpatients.
