Objective To investigate influence factors of diarrhea,thrush and multi-system damage in hospitalized children with lower respiratory infection (LRI).Methods A total of 9135 children with LRI who were hospitalized in our hospital were divided into four groups according to whether they had diarrhea and/or thrush:A (simple LRI group) has 7716 children,B (LRI complicated with diarrhea group) has 1057 children,C (LRI complicated with thrush group) has 200 children,D (LRI complicated with diarrhea and thrush group) include 162 children.All clinical data of four groups were collected and retrospectively reviewed.Results Infants less than six months of the group B,C and D had the highest incidence,followed by babies from six months to one year old,the lowest was the group that over the age of five.The incidence of group B and D was highest in winter.The incidence of in hospital or out of hospital for more than 14 d in group D was higher than that for less than 14 d.The incidence of premature infants in group C and group D were 3.70％ and 3.90％,higher than 2.10％ and 1.65％ of the full-term infants.The incidence of children with atopic in group B and D was 16.83％ and 3.00％,which was higher than 10.70％ and 1.57％ in children with non-atopic.The incidence of severe children in group B,C and D were 15.97％,3.92％ and 4.20％,which was significantly higher than 11.39％,2.12％ and 1.68％ of the normal patients;and 15.29％,4.00％,4.09％ in children who use antibiotics for more than 14 d which was higher than 10.44％,1.64％,1.07％ for less than 14 d.The proportion of multiple antibiotic user in group D was 2.16％,which was significantly higher than 1.12％ of the single antibiotic user.The rate of hormone application in group B and D was 13.25％ and 2.07％,which was significantly higher than 9.98％ and 1.49％ of non-hormone users.The levels of CD3 + in group B,C,D were significantly lower than that in group A,and the percentage of CD3 + CD8 + was below the normal reference value.The percentages of CD3-CD19 + and CD19 + CD23 + in four groups were significantly higher than the normal reference value.Conclusion The high incidence of diarrhea and/or thrush in pediatric patients with LRI was associated with some factors,including winter admission,premature,atopic,long course of hospital and out of hospital,severe disease,long-term or joint use of antibiotic,hormone therapy or low level of CD3 +.In clinical practice,reasonable and positive intervention and immune regulation in the early stage of disease will help to reduce the occurrence of diarrhea and/or thrush in children with LRI,promote disease recovery,reduce the use of medical resources and cases of severe,critical and refractory.

Acute mitral regurgitation(MR)in the setting of myocardial infarction(MI)may be the result of papillary muscle rupture(PMR).The clinical presentation can be catastrophic,with refractory cardiogenic shock.This condition is associated with high morbidity and mortality.Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair(TEER)has become increasingly common in treating severe mitral regurgitation.This case details a successful TEER is feasible and safe in patients with acute MR following MI.TEER is an emerging treatment option in this clinical scenario that should be taken into consideration.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics,coexisting gene mutations and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)patients with GATA2 gene mutation.Methods:The clinical data of 370 newly diagnosed AML patients treated in our hospital from January 2008 to January 2021 was analyzed retrospectively,the next-generation sequencing technology was used to detect the mutated genes in those patients.The clinical characteristics of AML patients with GATA2 mutations,the co-mutated genes of GATA2 mutations,and the effect of GATA2 mutation on prognosis were analyzed.Results:A total of 23 patients(6.2％)with GATA2 mutation was detected in 370 AML patients.Compared with GATA2 non-mutation group,patients in GATA2 mutation group were mostly normal karyotypes(P=0.037)and in low-risk cytogenetic stratification(P=0.028).The incidence of CEBPAdm and NRAS in GATA2 mutation group was significantly higher than that in GATA2 non-mutation group(P=0.010,P=0.009).There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of sex,age,white blood cell count(WBC),platelet count,hemoglobin,bone marrow(BM)blast,induction chemotherapy regimen and CR rate(P＞0.05).Among the 23 patients with GATA2 mutation,the most common co-mutated genes were CEBPAdm,NRAS(both 39.1％),NPM1,FLT3,TET2,WT1(all 17.4％),ASXL1 and IDH1(both 13.0％).Survival analysis showed that there was no statistical difference in 5-year overall survival(OS)and leukemia-free survival(LFS)rates between patients with and without GATA2 mutations in whole cohort(n=370)(P=0.306,P=0.308).Among 306 patients without CEBPAdm,the 5-year OS and LFS rates in GATA2 mutation group showed an increasing trend compared with GATA2 non-mutation group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.092,P=0.056).Among 64 patients with CEBPAdm,there was no statistically significant difference in 5-year OS rate between the GATA2 mutation group and the GATA2 non-mutation group(P=0.104),but the 5-year LFS rate of the GATA2 mutation group was significantly decreased(P=0.047).Among the 23 patients with GATA2 mutation,16 cases received the"3+7"induction regimen,of which 12 cases received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT);7 cases received the"DCAG"induction regimen,of which 3 cases received allo-HSCT.The CR rate was not statistically different between the"3+7"regimen group and the"DCAG"regimen group(P=1.000).The 5-year OS rate and LFS rate in the transplantation group were significantly higher than the chemotherapy group(P=0.021,P=0.020).Conclusion:GATA2 mutation is more common in AML patients with normal karyotype and low-risk cytogenetic stratification,and it is significantly associated with CEBPAdm and NRAS co-mutations.The prognostic significance of GATA2 is influenced by CEBPAdm.The choice of"3+7"or"DCAG"induction regimen in patients with GATA2 mutation does not affect their CR rate,while the choice of allo-HSCT can significantly improved the prognosis compared with chemotherapy only.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of pituitary stalk interruption syndrome(PSIS). Methods The clinical data including clinical manifestations,laboratory tests,and imaging findings of 114 PSIS patients in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of these 114 PSIS patients,102 cases (89.4%) were male. The average age was 21.1?6.1 years. A history of breech delivery was documented in 91 cases (91.9%). Short stature was found in 89 cases (71.8%) and bone age delayed (6.1?5.1) years. Secondary sex characteristics were poor or undeveloped in most patients. The prevalence of deficiencies in growth hormone,gonadotropins,corticotropin,and thyrotropin were 100.0%,94.0%,84.2%,and 74.6%,respectively. Hyperprolactinemia was found in 28.1% of patients. Three or more pituitary hormone abnormalities were found in 105 cases(92.1%). Compared with the 5 cases with history of cephalic delivery,no difference were found in the aspects of height(t=0.297,P=0.634),penile length(t=1.205,P=0.882),testicular volume (U=99.000,P=0.348),growth hormone peak (U=89.000,P=0.186),adrenocorticotropic hormone peak(U=131.000,P=0.967),luteinizing hormone peak(U=98.500,P=0.582),thyroid-stimulating hormone (U=82.000,P=0.162),and the height of anterior pituitary (t=1.676,P=0.107) in the 53 cases with history of breech delivery. Conclusions The clinical manifestations,symptoms,hormone deficiencies were severe in our series. The condition severities were not remarkably different in patients with different delivery ways.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of systemic allergic reactions induced by subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in patients undergoing SCIT injections in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). Methods: This is a single center retrospective cohort study. Using the outpatient information system of PUMCH, the demographic information and injection-related reaction data of patients undergoing SCIT injection in Allergy Department of PUMCH from December 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed to count the incidence and risk factors of systemic allergic reactions caused by SCIT. Mann-Whitney nonparametric test or chi-square test was used for single-factor analysis, and multiple logistic regression was used for multiple-factor analysis. Results: A total of 2 897 patients received 18 070 SCIT injections in Allergy Department during the four years, and 40 systemic allergic reactions occurred, with the overall incidence rate of 0.22%. The incidence of systemic allergic reaction was 0.37% when using imported dust mite preparation and 0.15% when using domestic multi-component allergen preparation. The risk factors significantly related with SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions in patients using imported dust mite preparation were age less than 18 years old (OR=3.186,95%CI: 1.255-8.085), highest injection concentration (OR value could not be calculated because all patients with systemic reactions were injected with highest concentration), and large local reaction in previous injection (OR=22.264,95%CI: 8.205-60.411). The risk factors for SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions in patients using domestic allergen preparation were 5 or more types of allergens (OR=3.455,95%CI: 1.147-10.402), highest injection concentration (OR=3.794,95%CI: 1.226-11.740) and large local reaction in previous injection (OR=63.577,95%CI: 22.248-181.683). However, SCIT injection in pollen allergic patients during the pollen season did not show a correlation with systemic allergic reaction. Conclusion: The incidence of SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions was low in the Chinese patient population of this study. Patients with one or more risk factors, such as multiple allergen injection, highest injection concentration, large local reaction in previous injection, should be given high attention and vigilance against systemic allergic reactions.
