Objective To observe the effect of small interfering RNA(siRNA) targeting Survivin gene on survivin expression,proliferation and apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cell line MHCC-97H.Methods Survivin sequence specific siRNA was designed and synthesized.siRNA/liposome complex was transfected into hepatocellular carcinoma cell line MHCC-97H.The MHCC-97H cells were divided into Survivin siRNA group(Si-survivin),negative control siRNA group(NC group)and blank group (normal control group).Survivin mRNA and protein expressions were detected by reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot,respectively.The proliferation of MHCC-97H was measured by methythiazolydiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay.The Annexin V/PI double labeled flow cytometry was employed to measure the apoptosis at 24 h after transfection in different concentrations of Survivin siRNA(12.5,25.0 and 50.0 nmoL/L,respectively).Results After 48 h of transfection,the Survivin mRNA levels were 0.55 ± 0.16 (Si-survivin group),0.85 ± 0.28 (NC group) and 0.93 ± 0.40 (normal control group),respectively,which were significantly different among 3 groups (F =414,P < 0.01).The level of Survivin mRNA was the lowest in Si-survivin group,which was statistically different with NC group and normal control group (t =-20.56,-28.37,all P < 0.001).The levels of Survivin protein expression in 3 groups were 0.602 ± 0.005 (Si-survivin group),0.835 ± 0.007 (NC group) and 0.993 ± 0.003 (normal control group) at 48 h after transfection,which were statistically different among 3 groups (F =238,P <0.01).The lowest level of protein expression was in Si-survivin group,which was statistically different with NC group and normal control group (t =-40.17,-66.03,all P < 0.001).After 72 h and 96 h of transfection,the inhibitory rate of cell growth was significantly higher in Si-survivin group [(19.5 ± 3.6)%,(12.0 ± 0.9)%] compared with that in NC group [(3.6 ± 0.9) %,(-1.3 ± 6.1) %] (t--36.18,42.53,all P < 0.05).The apoptosis rates in 12.5,25.0,50.0 nmol/L Survivin siRNA were (22.64 ± 2.54) %,(35.37 ± 3.28) % and (53.28 ± 4.35) %,respectively.However,in NC group and normal control group,the apoptosis rates were (8.77 ± 1.25) % and (9.72 ± 1.37) %.The rates were statistically different among those 5 groups(F =35.93,P <0.01).And in the apoptosis rates of siRNA groups in different concentratiom were statistically different when compared between each two groups (t =-29.73,-38.57,all P < 0.001).Conclusion Survivin specific siRNA can inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis by blocking Survivin gene expression in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line MHCC-97H.

Objective:To explore the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of precursor B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia with C- MYC rearrangement (preBLL) in children. Methods:The clinical data in 2 cases of childhood preBLL in Department of Hematology, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics in June and August 2019 were summarized and analyzed.Results:Both cases were acute lymphoblastic leukemia with precursor B-cell immunophenotype.Hepatosplenomegaly and peripheral white blood cells were significantly increased, and the morphology of bone marrow was L3. C- MYC rearrangement was discovered by cytogenetic tests.Both children have received the treatment of the mature B-cell tumor protocol (FAB/LMB96), and early remission was developed in 1 case with TP53 gene mutation but relapsed thereafter and died finally.Another case had reached sustained complete remission after treatment. Conclusions:Children with preBLL is rare, and routine C- MYC rearrangement should be performed in children with Precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia whose morphology of bone marrow was L3.Its treatment needs to be further studied, and multi-center clinical trials need to be actively conducted to analyze and summarize large numbers of cases to identify effective protocol and improve the prognosis.

International Journal of Pediatrics 2020;47(11):764-767
Hypereosinophilic syndromes(HES)are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by persistent overproduction of eosinophils in bone marrow, peripheral blood, and tissues, which can involve multiple tissues and organs at the same time.Eosinophils infiltration and medium release can lead to multiple organ damage.The choice of treatment options depend on clinical manifestations, laboratory test results, and mutation analysis.The purpose of this review is to summarize the current treatment of HES, including conventional therapies such as glucocorticoids, hydroxylurea, interferon-alpha, as well as small molecule targeted drugs led by tyrosine kinase inhibitors, interleukin-5 and its receptor targeted monoclonal antibodies.

Objective:
To explore the occurrence of cognitive impairment in Chinese heart failure (HF) patients and it's impact on prognosis.
Methods:
In this prospective observational study, a total of 990 HF patients were enrolled from 24 hospitals in China during December 2012 to November 2014. All patients were administrated with the interview-format Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), according to which they were divided into MoCA<26 (with cognitive impairment) group and MoCA≥26 (without cognitive impairment) group. Baseline data were collected and a 1-year follow up was carried out. Univariate and multivariate logistic or Cox regression were performed for 1-year outcomes.
Results:
Cognitive impairment was evidenced in 628 patients (63.4%) and they were more likely to be older, female, and with higher proportion of New York Heart Association(NYHA) class Ⅲ-Ⅳ, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease, while body mass index (BMI), education level, and medical insurance rate were lower (all

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of the Shewhart control chart-based assessment and early warning system in prevention of medical device-related pressure injury(MDRPI).Methods:152 critically ill patients admitted to Hebei Central Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group based on different methods of assessing MDRPI risk,with 76 cases in each group.The control group adopted the Braden scale to assess the risk of MDRPI.The observation group adopted a safety early warning system based on Shewhart control charts to assess the risk of MDRPI in patients.Nursing measures were undertaken according to MDRPI risk grade in both groups.The occurrence of adverse events of MDRPI,nursing safety quality and nursing comprehensive quality were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence rate of head,neck and face adverse events of MDRPI and the total incidence of adverse events of MDRPI of the patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(x2=4.802,5.758,P<0.05).The safety quality and comprehensive quality of nursing of 20 nurses in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(t=6.654,7.172,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of assessment and early warning system based on Shewhart control chart in clinical nursing management can effectively reduce the incidence of MDRPI adverse events and improve the quality of nursing safety and comprehensive nursing.
