Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(19):1453-1456
Recently, the incidence of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease( IBD) is increasing. The diagnosis and treatment of IBD were focused by pediatric clinicians. The clinical features and treatment of pediatric IBD are dif-ferent,because of the growth and development. Growth deficiency and delayed puberty are unique symptoms. Children with IBD were treated with exclusive enteral nutrition as the first line treatment. The better treatment was formulated in accordance with the clinical features and nutritional therapy of pediatric IBD.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of mizolastine combined with H2 recepter antagonists in the treatment of chronic urticaria,and provide evidence-based reference for the clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,Cochrane Library,EMBase,CBM,CJFD,etc.,randomized controlled trials (RCT) or QRCT about mizolastine com-bined with H2 recepter antagonists(test group)versus mizolastine alone(control group)in the treatment of chronic urticaria. After quality evaluation and data extract,Meta-analysis was conducted by using Stata 12.0 statistics software. RESULTS:A total of 12 RCT were included,involving 1 188 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed the effective rate [RR=1.23,95%CI(1.16,1.31), P<0.001] in test group was significantly higher than control group,subgroup analysis showed the the efficacies of different combi-nation of mizolastine and other drugs were significantly better than control group;there was no significant difference in the inci-dence of adverse reactions between 2 group[RR=1.01,95%CI(0.71,1.44),P>0.05]. CONCLUSIONS:The effective rate of mizo-lastine combined with H2 recepter antagonists is significantly higher than mizolastine in the treatment of chronic urticaria,with bet-ter safety. Due to the limit of methodological quality and sample size,it remains to be further verified with more rigorously de-signed and long-term follow-up of large-scale RCT.

Aim To study the effect of ginsenoside F1 on the enzyme activity and expression of gene of CYP3 A4 through activation of pregnane X receptor ( PXR ) . Methods With different concentrations of ginsenoside F1 treated on LS174T cells, the expression of CYP3A4 mRNA was determined by Q-PCR, and the enzyme activity was measured by P450-GloTM CYP3A4 assay according to the manufacturer′s instructions, fur-ther PXR-CYP3 A4 stable translation HepG2 cell lines were used to test ginsenoside F1 activates PXR by re-porter gene screening assay. Results The results re-vealed that the levels of CYP3 A4 gene and protein ex-pression were significantly increased by ginsenoside F1 in a concentration-dependent manner. At the same time, reporter gene screening showed that ginsenoside F1 could also enhance the transcriptional activity of PXR. Conclusion Ginsenoside F1 can significantly up-regulate the gene expression and enzyme activity of CYP3A4 via the PXR-CYP3A4 pathway.

Objective:To investigate the application value and treatment opportunity of single balloon enteroscopy in children with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome(PJS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 33 children diagnosed with PJS in Hunan Children′s Hospital from January 2011 to September 2021.The patient′s age, gender, family history, clinical symptoms, enteroscopy examination and treatment, number of polyps, intraoperative and pos-toperative complications, surgical treatment, recurrence of surgery, and follow-up data were analyzed, and the chi- square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 33 PJS children aged (9.00±3.13) years, including 21 males and 12 females, were included.All of them received at least once single balloon enteroscopy test.The main manifestations of the children were black spots (33 cases) and multiple polyps in the digestive tract (31 cases). In all the 33 cases, black spots were distributed on lips.Some black spots were also found at the end of fingers (3 cases), at the end of foot toes(2 cases), and at the end of finger toes (6 cases). During the operation, 391 polyps were removed, most of which were jejunum polyps (37.08%, 145/391 polyps). Eleven children with PJS has intussusception, of which intestinal intussusception accounted for 90.91% (10/11 cases). Ten cases (30.30%, 10/33 cases) received surgical treatment, and 72.73% (8/11 cases) underwent surgery for acute refractory intussusception.One case had intestinal perforation and 2 cases were bleeding during the operation, and the 3 cases recovered completely after hemostatic clip sealing and surgical treatment.The incidence of hollow ileum polyps and giant polyps in children aged >8 years was higher than that in children aged ≤8 years[92.55% (149/161 polyps) vs.7.45%(12/161 polyps), 96.20%(76/79 polyps) vs.3.80% (3/79 polyps)]. The differences were statistically significant ( χ2=9.854, 8.711, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of intussusception among different age groups ( P>0.05). Among the 33 children with PJS, 57.58% (19/33 cases) had recurrence 1-3 years after operation, and no cases of cancer have been followed up so far. Conclusions:Intestinal polyps are common in children with PJS, and the application of single-balloon enteroscopy in children with PJS is reliable and safe.Children over 8 years old are more vulnerable to empty ileum polyps and giant polyps.Therefore, it is advised that children aged above 8 years with PJS should undergo at least once enteroscopy.

Targeting immune checkpoints such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) have been approved for treating melanoma, gastric cancer (GC) and bladder cancer with clinical benefit. Nevertheless, many patients failed to respond to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment, so it is necessary to seek an alternative strategy for traditional PD-1/PD-L1 targeting immunotherapy. Here with the data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and our in-house tissue library, PD-L1 expression was found to be positively correlated with the expression of ubiquitin-specific processing protease 7 (USP7) in GC. Furthermore, USP7 directly interacted with PD-L1 in order to stabilize it, while abrogation of USP7 attenuated PD-L1/PD-1 interaction and sensitized cancer cells to T cell killing
