BACKGROUND:For pediatric patients with aplastic anemia in China, it is difficult to find human leucocyte antigen-matched sibling donors that are mostly replaced by parental donors.
OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of parental haploidentical peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cel transplantation in children with relapsed and refractory severe aplastic anemia.
METHODS:Seventeen children with relapsed and refractory severe aplastic anemia who had no matched sibling or unrelated donor and failed to respond to immunosuppressive therapy were subjected to parental haploidentical peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cel transplantation. A conditioning regimen of fludarabine+cyclophosphamide+rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin antibody and the triple therapy of methotrexate, cyclosporine A and mycophenolate mofetil were applied to prevent graft-versus-host disease.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Of the 17 children, 16 cases (94%) reached hematopoietic reconstitution, and the median time of neutrophils≥ 0.5×109/L and platelets≥ 20×109/L was 13 (11-15) days and 17 (12-28) days, respectively. (2) Incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease was 47% (8 of 17 cases), including 29% (5/17) of grades I-II and 18% (3/17) of grades III-IV. Incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease was 41% (7/17). (3) With a median folow-up duration of 268 (43-753) days, the overal survival rate was 70.6% (12/17). Five dead cases (29%) belonged to transplantation-related death, including one case of fungal skin infections, one case of graft-versus-host disease, three cases of severe lung infection. No relapse case was reported. These findings indicate that if there are no matched sibling or unrelated donors and the immunosuppression effect is poor, parental haploidentical peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cel transplantation is a safe and effective salvage treatment for children with relapsed and refractory severe aplastic anemia.

Objective:To explore the correlation between abdominal aortic calcification and serum cell division cycle 42 (CDC-42) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and to explore the influencing factors of them.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Blood Purification Center of Qingdao Municipal Hospital,112 patients who underwent MHD for more than 6 months from October 2019 to March 2021 were selected. The abdominal aortic calcification score (ACCs) was calculated by reference to the abdominal lateral X flat tablets. According to AACS, 50 cases were divided into no and mild calcification group (0≤AACS<5 points) and 62 cases were divided into moderate and severe calcification group (AACS≥5 points). The level of serum CDC-42 was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Taking the median serum CDC-42 level as the boundary, 56 cases were divided into low CDC-42 group and high CDC-42 group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between indicators. The risk factors of elevated CDC-42 and abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients were explored by multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the variables were included by entry method.Results:In 112 patients, 91 cases (81.25%, 91/112) had abdominal aortic calcification, and the median serum CDC-42 level was 466.56 (335.56,623.57) ng/L. CDC-42, AACs, age, dialysis age, diabetic nephropathy, glycosylated hemoglobin, alkaline phosphatase, parathormone and calcium in the no and mild calcification groups were 347.77 (291.20, 419.53) ng/L, 1.00 (0.00, 3.00) points, (57.18±6.25) years, 31.50 (15.00, 49.25) months, 34.00%(17/50), (6.63±0.97)%, 116.22 (87.32, 152.13) U/L, 258.57 (143.40, 433.31) ng/L, (2.18±0.26) mmol/L, and in the moderate to severe calcification group were 602.69 (489.61, 762.73) ng/L, 10.00 (7.00, 16.25) points, (60.81±7.12) years, 49.00 (18.00, 67.00) months, 53.23%(33/62), (7.07±1.20)%, 144.34 (99.71, 201.76) U/L, 336.57 (230.63, 506.00) ng/L,(2.28±0.26) mmol/L, with statistically significant differences between the two groups(The statistical values were 6.99, 9.11, 2.83, 2.45, 4.14, 2.08, 2.04, 2.16 and 1.99, respectively, all P<0.05). CDC-42, AACs, glycosylated hemoglobin and parathormone in the low CDC-42 group were 336.50 (295.10, 395.25) ng/L, 2.00 (0.00, 4.00) points, (6.62±1.06) %, 250.60 (140.20, 462.02) ng/L,and in the high CDC-42 group were 622.92 (558.11, 836.65) ng/L, 10.00 (6.25, 15.75) points, (7.13±1.13) %, 347.21 (240.40,501.20) ng/L, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (The statistical values are 6.51, 5.21, 2.43 and 2.54, respectively,all P<0.05). Abdominal aortic calcification has positive correlations with CDC-42 ( r s=0.704, P<0.001), age ( r s=0.308, P=0.001), dialysis years ( r s=0.198, P=0.036), glycosylated hemoglobin ( r s=0.358, P<0.001), alkaline phosphatase ( r s=0.187, P=0.048), parathormone ( r s=0.437, P<0.001), serum calciu m( r s=0.323, P=0.001) and serum phospho-rus ( r s=0.251, P=0.007), and negative correlation with serum albumin( r s=-0.276, P=0.003). This study has confirmed that high serum CDC-42 ( OR=1.010, 95%CI:1.004-1.016, P=0.001) and senior dialysis age ( OR=1.033, 95%CI:1.006-1.061, P=0.018) were independent risk factors for moderate to severe abdominal aortic calcification.Serum CDC-42 levels has positive correlation with AACs ( r s=0.704, P<0.001), age ( r s=0.240, P=0.011), dialysis age ( r s=0.191, P=0.044), glycosylated hemoglobin ( r s=0.350, P<0.001), parathormone ( r s=0.380, P<0.001) and serum calcium ( r s=0.235, P=0.013). This study learned that,high AACs ( OR=1.185, 95%CI:1.037-1.354, P=0.013) and high parathormone ( OR=1.005, 95%CI:1.001-1.009, P=0.009) were independent risk factors for high CDC-42. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) of serum CDC-42 in predicting moderate and severe abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients was 0.885. When the cut-off point was 466.56 ng/L, the predictive sensitivity and specificity were 79% and 86% respectively. Conclusion:The degree of abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients was positively correlated with the level of serum CDC-42. High serum CDC-42 and high dialysis age were independent risk factors for abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients. High AACS and high parathyroid hormone were independent risk factors for the increase of serum CDC-42 in MHD patients .

Objective To investigate the nutritional status and the clinical outcome of the critically ill chil-dren,and to provide scientific evidence for further clinical nutrition management. Methods Nutritional risk screening was performed on 1183 critically ill children hospitalized at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU),Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from October 2016 to October 2017 by using the Screening Tool for Risk on Nutritional Sta-tus and Growth (STRONGkids),the ICU including of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU),Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU)and Coronary Care Unit (CCU). Median age of the children was (2. 6 ± 2. 4)years (29 d - 12. 9 years). Nutritional status was estimated,and scores of anthropometric parameters such as weight - for - age Z - score (WAZ)(< 5 years)or body mass index - for - age Z - score (BAZ)(≥5 years)were calculated. The data on inci-dence of infectious complications,duration of ICU stay and mechanical ventilation,the total hospital expenses and in -hospital mortality were recorded. Results Of the 1183 cases,134 children(11. 3%)had low nutritional risk,746 children(63. 1%)had moderate nutritional risk and 303 children(25. 6%)high nutritional risk. The prevalence of se-vere malnutrition,moderate malnutrition and mild malnutrition was 8. 1% (96 / 1183 cases),8. 2% (97 / 1183 ca-ses),and 12. 8% (151 / 1183 cases)respectively. The severe malnutrition group had a higher incidence of high nutri-tional risk than other groups [74. 0%(71 / 96 cases)vs. 67. 0%(65 / 97 cases),40. 4%(61/ 151 cases),12. 6%(106/839 cases)],and the differe-nce was statistically significant (P < 0. 001). The incidence of high nutritional risk in the CCU was higher than that than that in the PICU and SICU,and the difference was statistically significant [36. 5%(96 /263 cases),23. 8%(125 / 524 cases)and 20. 7%(82 / 396 cases)respectively,P < 0. 01]. And the incidence of high nutritional risk was higher in infants[37. 6%(198 / 527 cases)]than those in the other age groups[18. 4%(52 / 282 cases),12. 0%(21 / 175 cases),16. 0%(32 / 199 cases)],and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 68. 90, P < 0. 0001). Children with a high nutritional risk had increased incidence of infectious complications [8. 6%(26 / 303 cases)vs. 4. 7% (35 / 746 cases),3. 7% (5 / 134 cases)],incidence of mechanical ventilation [66. 0% (200 / 303 cases)vs. 41. 4%(309 / 746 cases),38. 8%(52 / 134 cases)]and total hospital expenses (¥ 52500 vs. ¥ 39700 and¥ 48700 RMB)compared with those with the moderate or the low nutritional risk,and the differences were statistically significant(all P < 0. 05). There were 16 deaths and 8 deaths (2. 7%)in the high nutrition risk group,which was sig-nificantly higher than those in the moderate nutrition risk group [8 cases (1. 1%)]and the low nutrition risk group [0 case(0)](χ2 = 7. 60,P = 0. 02). Conclusions Moderate or high nutritional risk is seen in the critically ill chil-dren,especially in infants and the children with congenital heart disease. Nutritional risk score is correlated with clinical outcomes. Nutritional risk screening and standard nutritional support are recommended so as to improve clinical treat-ment outcomes.

Objective To investigate the nutritional risk of hospitalized infants with severe pneumonia and its relationship with clinical outcome. Methods Totally 113 infants with severe pneumonia admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)were enrolled in the study. Nutritional risks were screened by STRONGkids, and the nutritional were assessment with WHO Anthro. Clinical outcomes were recorded and analyzed, including mechanical ventilation, length of PICU stay, total hospital expenses, prognosis, and biochemical test index. Results A total of 44 infants (38.9%) had high nutritional risk, 49 (43.4%) had medium nutritional risk, 20 (17.7%) had low nutritional risk when they admitted to PICU. A total of 59 (52.2%) infants were malnourished when they admitted to PICU. There was a significant correlation between the degree of malnutrition and nutritional risk (r =0.574, P<0.01).The incidence of high nutritional risk was significantly higher in 28d~1year-old group than in 1~3 year-old group (χ2=20.46, P<0.01). Nearly 42.5%(48/113) of the children had congenital disease and had higher incidence of high nutritional risk (χ2=11.375, P=0.003) and higher incidence of malnutrition (χ2=10.083, P=0.001) than those without congenital disease. The rate of mechanical ventilation (P=0.028), the duration of mechanical ventilation (P<0.01), total hospital expenses (P=0.002) and the incidence of poor prognosis(P=0.014) were significantly higher in high nutritional risk group than the low nutritional risk group. The retinol binding protein in the high nutrition risk group was significantly lower than the low nutrition risk group (χ2=6.333, P=0.021). Conclusions High nutritional risk and malnutrition are common in infants with severe pneumonia. Malnutrition and nutritional risk are increased in patients less than 1 year old or suffering from congenital disease. Patients with high nutritional risk are more likely to have worse clinical outcomes. STRONGkids is a valid tool for nutritional risk screening in hospitalized children, and early nutrition support is recommended.
