Objective:To investigate the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) associated lung injury in mice.Methods:Totally 32 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=8/per group): wild type control group (WT+CON group), wild type SAP group (WT+SAP group), MIF gene knockout control group (KO+CON group), and MIF gene knockout SAP group (KO+SAP group). SAP model was established by intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine (4 mg/g). The expression of serum amylase, IL-6, TNF-α and MIF were detected by ELISA. The pathological changes of pancreatic and lung tissues were observed by HE staining. The expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in lung tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of NF-κB in lung tissue was detected by Western blot. For measurement data, t test was used for comparison between two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups. Results:Compared with the WT+CON group, pathological score of pancreatic and lung injury, serum amylase, TNF-α and IL-6 expression in serum and lung tissues were significantly increased in the WT+SAP group ( P<0.05), while the above indexes were significantly decreased in the KO+SAP group ( P<0.05). In addition, the expression of NF-κB protein in KO+SAP group was significantly lower than that in the WT+SAP group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:MIF gene knockout can alleviate severe acute pancreatitis associated acute lung injury in mice, and its mechanism may be related to NF-κB.

Objective:To summarize the diagnosis features of the prenatal genetic diagnosis of fetal renal cystic disease and to explore the clinical feasibility and significance of prenatal genetic diagnosis of congenital cystic nephrosis.Methods:A total of 25 fetuses with congenital renal cystic disease were examined via invasive prenatal diagnosis in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from June 2017 to September 2019. Amniotic fluid samples were extracted by amniocentesis. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) were performed in 17 cases. In addition to CMA, the other 8 cases were analyzed by G-band karyotype. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in 6 cases which got normal results by CMA and karyotype, and highly suspected as hereditary disease.Results:Of the 25 fetuses assessed, 4 cases (16.0%) pathogenic copy number variation (pCNV) were found, including 2 cases of 17q12 deletion, 1 case of 10p15.1p14 deletion and 1 case of 4q21.28q22.1 deletion(including PKD2 gene). There were 8 cases without chromosome abnormality by karyotype analysis. Six clinical WES analysis found NPHS1 gene c.1440+1 G>A and c.925G > T mutations were related to Finnish type congenital nephrotic syndrome in 1 case, PKD1 gene c.6878C>T mutation was related to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in 1 case, and there was no definitive mutation in 4 cases. Conclusions:CMA and next generation sequencing are powerful tools for accurate diagnosis, treatment and genetic counseling of fetal congenital renal cystic diseases. For congenital cystic nephropathy, genetic detection is helpful to clarify the etiology, and provide more exactly informations for prognosis evaluation, treatment and family genetic counseling.

Objective To explore the mutations of EDA gene in 2 X - linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dyspla-sia(XLHED)pedigrees,and provide clues for the XLHED diagnosis,genetic counseling and treatment. Methods Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing were used to analyze the coding sequences and their flanking sequences of the EDA gene in the patients,suspicious carriers,normal family members in 2 families and non - relative control sam-ples. Results In family 1,mutation c. 659 676del18,namely p. 220 225del(Gly - X - Y)6 which was located in (Gly - X - Y)19 collagen - like repeat domain,was found in the proband and other patient's EDA gene. In family 2,an insertion c. 118 - 119insT was found in the intracellular domain,which induces reading frame alteration from the 40th a-mino acid. The mutations found in the 2 families were consistent with the principle of mutation and phenotype co - sepa-ration,but these mutations were not found in the normal control samples. EDA gene analysis of fetal amniotic fluid sam-ple from Ⅲ - 1 in the family 1 was not found to have the same mutation as the proband,and the follow - up after birth proved normal for the baby. Conclusions EDA gene c. 118 - 119insT mutation found in the research is a novel muta-tion. Sequence analysis of EDA gene is an efficient method in XLHED diagnosis,and is beneficial for the genetic coun-seling and the genetic intervention of the disease in the affected families.

Objective To investigate the value of array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) technique for the detection of chromosomal analysis of miscarried embryo, and to provide genetic counseling for couples with spontaneous abortion. Methods Totally 382 patients who underwent miscarriage were enrolled in this study. All aborted tissues were analyzed with conventional cytogenetic karyotyping and array-CGH, respectively. Results Through genetic analysis, all of the 382 specimens were successfully analyzed by array-CGH (100.0%, 382/382), and the detection rate of chromosomal aberrations was 46.6% (178/382). However, conventional karyotype analysis was successfully performed in 281 cases (73.6%, 281/382), and 113 (40.2%, 113/281) were found with chromosomal aberrations. Of these 178 samples identified by array-CGH, 163 samples (91.6%, 163/178) were aneuploidy, 15 samples (8.4%, 15/178) were segmental deletion and (or) duplication cases. Four of 10 cases with small segmental deletion and duplication were validated to be transferred from their fathers or mathers who were carriers of submicroscopic reciprocal translocation. Of these 113 abnormal karyotypes founded by conventional karyotyping, 108 cases (95.6%, 108/113) were aneuploidy and 5 cases (4.4%, 5/113) had chromosome structural aberrations. Most array-CGH results were consistent with conventional karyotyping but with 3 cases of discrepancy, which included 2 cases of triploids, 1 case of low-level mosaicism that undetcted by array-CGH. Conclusions Compared with conventional karyotyping, there is an increased detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities when array-CGH is used to analyse the products of conception, primarilly because of its sucess with nonviable tissues. It could be a first-line method to determine the reason of miscarrage with higher accuracy and sensitivity.

Objective To investigate the association between multi-drug resistant 1 (MDR1) gene C3435T and T129C polymorphism with refractory epilepsy in children. Methods A total of 260 children including 60 refractory epilepsy, 100 drug-responsive epilepsy, and 100 healthy children were enrolled. The genotypes for MDR1 polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.The distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies of the three groups were compared. Results The distribution of TT/TC/CC genotypes and T/C allele frequencies of C3435T showed no signiifcant difference between drug-resistant patients and drug-responsive patients or normal control group (P>0.05). Drug-resistant patients were more likely to have the TC genotype and the C allele at T129C when compared with the drug-responsive patients and the normal control group (P<0.05). Conclusions T129C polymorphism of the MDR1 gene was associated with refractory epilepsy in children.

Objective:To evaluate the effect and influence of exchange transfusion on neonatal ABO hemolysis by comparing the changes of indirect bilirubin in serum and internal environment before and after exchange transfusion.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 242 cases with neonatal ABO hemolytic disease from January 2017 to October 2018 in the Children's Hospital of Jiangxi Province was carried out.According to whether the parents signed or agreed to exchange transfusion, they were divided into two groups.The exchange group (126 cases) received routine treatment + exchange of blood, and the control group (116 cases) was only given conventional therapy(blue light + probiotics + gamma globulin). In the exchange group, peripheral venous blood was collected half an hour before the exchange of blood(T1) and half an hour after the exchange of blood(T2), while in the control group, the indirect bilirubin, platelet and blood sugar were measured at two time points of parents signing disapproval of exchange of blood(T1) and disapproval of exchange of blood and one day after the treatment(T2).Results:The indirect bilirubin levels in serum of the exchange group and the control group were decreased, and the difference was statistically significant[(194.010±41.065)μmol/L vs.(390.048±39.058)μmol/L, t=1507.604, (292.014±39.998)μmol/L vs.(383.452±42.820)μmol/L, t=306.820, all P<0.05]. The decrease of serum indirect bilirubin in the exchange group was more significant than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant.[(194.010±41.065)μmol/L vs.(292.014±39.998)μmol/L, t=368.267, P<0.05]. After exchange transfusion, the levels of platelet and blood sugar were decreased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant[(91.370±24.766)×10 9/L vs.(350.660±32.564)×10 9/L, t=5061.203, (2.965±0.593)mmol/L vs.(5.490±0.876)mmol/L, t=717.817, all P<0.05]. Decreased platelets and blood sugar could return to normal within 3 days. Conclusion:Exchange therapy can significantly reduce the level of bilirubin and the incidence of bilirubin encephalopathy in neonates with ABO hemolysis.Exchange therapy has certain effect on the internal environment of neonatal ABO hemolytic patients, which is easy to cause thrombocytopenia and blood sugar reduction.But the change of internal environment is temporary and reversible.
