Objective:To observe the effect of interleukin-8 (IL-8) on the adhesion and migration of retinal vascular endothelial cells (RCEC).Methods:A cell experiment. Human RCEC (hRCEC) was divided into normal control group (N group), advanced glycation end product (AGE) treatment group (AGE group), and AGE-induced combined IL-8 antagonist SB225002 treatment group (AGE+SB group). The effect of AGE on IL-8 expression in hRCEC was observed by Western blot. The effect of SB225002 on hRCEC migration was observed by cell scratch assay. The effects of SB225002 on leukocyte adhesion and reactive oxygen species (ROS) on hRCEC were detected by flow cytometry. Student- t test was performed between the two groups. Oneway analysis of variance was performed among the three groups. Results:Compared with group N, the expression level of IL-8 in cells of AGE group was significantly increased, with statistical significance ( t=25.661, P<0.001). Compared with N group and AGE+SB group, cell mobility in AGE group was significantly increased ( F=29.776), leukocyte adhesion number was significantly increased ( F=38.159, 38.556), ROS expression level was significantly increased ( F=22.336), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:IL-8 antagonist SB225002 may down-regulate hRCEC adhesion and migration by inhibiting ROS expression.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare type of cerebrovascular disease, accounting for about 0.5% of all strokes. About 4% of patients with CVST have supratentorial brain parenchymal lesions and brain edema sufficient to cause brain hernia and neurological deterioration, which is called malignant CVST. Malignant CVST refers to the clinical (loss of consciousness, unilateral or bilateral pupil dilation) and imaging signs of supratentorial cortical lesions (ischemia or hemorrhage) accompanied by tentorial hiatal hernia formation at the onset or after treatment with heparin. For patients with malignant CVST, decompressive craniectomy is not only a life-saving treatment, but also can make most patients achieve good functional outcome.

In recent years, the rapid increase in cancer treatment costs in China had brought a huge economic burden to society, and it was urgent to standardize the rational application of anti-tumor drugs. In the context of the reform of group payment related to disease diagnosis, a tertiary first-class hospital focused on the needs of patients and guided by value-based healthcare, established a professional and normalized refined anti-tumor drug management system, setted up a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment team, and promoted " Internet plus pharmaceutical services" in December 2018.From 2019 to 2021, the proportion of hospital drugs were 30.8%, 30.1%, and 27.3%, respectively. The amount of money spent on anti-tumor drugs were 83.25 million yuan, 76.41 million yuan, and 62.48 million yuan, respectively, showing a decreasing trend year by year. The practice of refined management of anti-tumor drugs fully reflected the core concept of value based healthcare, achieving closed-loop management of the entire process of drugs, improving the level of rational drug use, reducing the economic burden on patients, and providing reference for improving the level of rational use of anti-tumor drugs in public hospitals.

Objective:To understand the characters of norovirus infection in children with acute diarrhea in Beijing from 2014 to 2019.Methods:Fecal specimens were collected from children with acute diarrhea visiting the hospital affiliated to the Capital Institute of Pediatrics from April 2014 to December 2019 for norovirus screening by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Then RdRp gene and VP1 gene of norovirus (NoV) were amplified and sequenced from positive specimens and then genotyped by Norovirus Genotyping Tool 2.0.Results:Fecal specimens were collected from 2 577 cases with acute diarrhea and tested for NoV RNA in this study, of which 484 cases (18.78%, 484/2 577) were positive for NoV. NoV infection can occur all year round, with obvious seasonal distribution, the epidemic peak is in autumn and winter. There was no gender difference in the detection of NoV ( χ2=1.77, P=0.183). 399 specimens genotyped by VP1 gene with 98.25% (392/399) being GII and GII.4 Sydney as the mainly genotype (52.13%, 208/399), followed by GII.3 (19.8%, 79/399) and GII.2 (18.5%, 74/399). Then 267 specimens also were genotyped by RdRp region, which revealed that the main genotype was GII.P31 (57.3 %, 153/267), followed by GII.P12 (15.36%, 41/267) and GII.P16 (14.98 %, 40/267). Dual-typing revealed that various combination strains, GII.4 Sydney[P31] (53.18%, 142/267) as the major combination, followed by GII.3[P12] and GII.2[P16] (15.36%, 41/267 and 10.49%, 28/267). While GII.3[P12] showed a downward trend, GII.4 Sydney[P16] increased gradually. Conclusions:Norovirus is an important pathogen of acute diarrhea in children in Beijing, from 2014 to 2019, with various prevalent genotypes.

Objective: To investigate the physical and intellectual development and mutation characteristics of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene among 53 newborns with phenylketonuria (PKU), so as to provide insights into the management and genetic counseling of PKU Methods: The medical records of 54 children with definitive diagnosis of PKU and standardized therapy until 2 years at the Center for Neonatal Disease Screening of Shanxi Children' s Hospital from 2018 to 2021 were collected. Newborns' body weight and height developments were evaluated using the World Health Organization growth chart (2006 version), and the intellectual development was assessed using the national criteria of Development Behavior Assessment Scale among Children at Ages of 0 to 6 Years (WS/T 580-2017). The gene mutations were detected among neonates and their children, and the physical, intellectual developments and genetic characteristics of neonates with PKU were descriptively analyzed. Results: The 53 PKU cases included 29 male children and 24 female children, 36 cases with classic PKU and 17 cases with mild PKU, and 30 cases from rural areas and 23 cases from urban areas. The study subjects had a median age of 30 (10) d at initial therapy, and a mean blood phenylalanine concentration of (1 507±685) μmol/L at definitive diagnosis. There were 52 cases with normal height developments (98.11%), and all cases had normal weight and intellectual developments. The mean developmental functional quotient (DFQ) was significantly greater among urban children with PKU than among rural children [(94.92±8.57) vs. (87.65±6.57); t=-3.498, P=0.001], and the mean DFQ was significantly higher among children with mild PKU than among those with classic PKU [(95.55±8.76) vs. (88.57±7.11); t=-3.095, P=0.003]. There were 37 mutations detected in the PAH gene, which were mainly distributed in exons 3, 6, 7, 11, 12 and intron 4. Three high-frequency mutation sites were detected, including c.728G>A, c.611A>G and c.1197A>T, including three novel mutations (c.674C>G, c.1316-2A>C and c.1069T>C). Conclusions Following standardized treatment, the children with PKU have comparable physical and intellectual developments as compared to normal children. c.728G>A, c.611A>G and c.1197A>T were predominant mutations in the PAH gene among these 53 children with PKU, and three novel mutations were identified, including c.674C>G, c.1316-2A>C and c.1069T>C.
