Objective To analyze the infection situation and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) in children in Yulin, Shaanxi province. Methods A total of 374 preschool children with digestive tract symptoms in Yulin area from December 2019 to December 2020 were selected. All the research object of personal data by using self-designed questionnaire (gender, age), personal experiences and health habits (common tableware, common koubei brushing your teeth, wash your hands before the rice then empress), the life habits (whether diet, koubei utilities, brushing your teeth regularly to suck finger), socioeconomic status, place of residence, with the number of living, family economic income), caregivers has a history of stomach problems (parents, nanny) And so on. The investigation method is the combination of telephone inquiry and on-site investigation. 3ml fasting venous blood was collected, and the supernatant was centrifuged. Serum IL-17 and IL-10 levels were determined by ENZYme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Treg and Th17 cell levels were determined by flow cytometry. Hp infection was detected by 14C urea breath test. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the independent risk factors of Hp infection in children. Results Eighty-three of the 374 children were infected with Hp, and the infection rate was 22.19%. The levels of Treg and IL-10 in peripheral blood of Hp infected children were significantly lower than those of non-hp infected children (P<0.05). The levels of Th17 and IL-17 in peripheral blood of children with Hp infection were significantly higher than those without Hp infection (P<0.05). In univariate analysis, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in age, parental education level, per capita monthly income, sharing tableware, sharing toothbrushing cups, washing hands before and after meals, sucking fingers, parents' knowledge of Hp, and caregivers' history of stomach disease (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that sharing tableware, sharing toothbrushing cups, sucking fingers, parents' lack of knowledge about Hp, and caregivers' history of gastric diseases were independent risk factors for Hp infection in children (P<0.05). Conclusion The infection rate of Hp in children is high, and Hp infection can cause immune system dysfunction in children. It is necessary to take targeted and effective clinical measures to prevent Hp infection.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of neonatal late-onset sepsis (LOS) caused by Leclercia adecarboxylata, and provide evidence for its diagnosis and treatment. Methods:We report a case of Leclercia adecarboxylata induced LOS in a male preterm neonate diagnosed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Relavant literature was retrieved from Wanfang, VIP, CNKI, and PubMed databases up to April 2021, using terms including "neonate" "sepsis" and " Leclercia adecarboxylata". Results:The patient presented with dyspnea immediately after birth with gestational age of 34 +3 weeks and birth weight of 2 050 g. After admission at 14 min after birth, he was incubated at temperature of 33-35 ℃ and humidity of 50%-60% and received active treatment, consisting of nasal continuous positive airway pressure, tracheal intubation, intratracheal injection of pulmonary surfactant, invasive mechanical ventilation, and anti-infective treatment with piperacillin, cefoperazone/sulbactam, and meropenem. However, the patient developed LOS on day 11 of life and eventually died of disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organs failure despite volume expansion, anti-infective therapy, and respiratory support. The blood culture was positive for Gram-negative rod and confirmed as a multi-drug resistant strain of Leclercia adecarboxylata. Two cases of LOS caused by sensitive strain of Leclercia adecarboxylata in premature female infants were retrieved in the literature with atypical symptoms, of whom one was successfully treated and one died after active treatment. Conclusions:Leclercia adecarboxylata infection alone can lead to LOS in preterm infants without typical manifestations. MALDI-TOF MS is helpful for the diagnosis and rational application of antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical features and genetic etiology of two children with intellectual developmental disorder and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia (MICPCH).
METHODS:
Two children with MICPCH who were presented at the Henan Provincial People's Hospital between April 2019 and December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data of the two children were collected, along with peripheral venous blood samples of them and their parents, and amniotic fluid sample of the mother of child 1. Whole exome sequencing (WES), array-comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) were carried out for the children, their parents and the fetus. The pathogenicity of candidate variants were evaluated.
RESULTS:
Child 1 was a 6-year-old girl featuring motor and language delay, whilst child 2 was a 4.5-year-old girl mainly featuring microcephaly and mental retardation. WES revealed that child 2 has harbored a 158.7 kb duplication in Xp11.4 (chrX: 41446160_41604854), which has encompassed exons 4~14 of the CASK gene. The same duplication was not found in either of her parents. aCGH revealed that child 1 has harbored a 29 kb deletion at Xp11.4 (chrX: 41637892_41666665), which encompassed exon 3 of the CASK gene. The same deletion was not found in either of her parents and the fetus. The above results were confirmed by qPCR assay. Above deletion and duplication were not found in the ExAC, 1000 Genomes and gnomAD databases. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), both variants were rated as likely pathogenic (PS2+PM2_Supporting).
CONCLUSION
The deletion of exon 3 and duplication of exons 4~14 of the CASK gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of MICPCH in these two children, respectively.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for fetus with bilateral lateral ventriculomegaly.
METHODS:
Fetus umbilical cord blood and peripheral blood samples of its parents were collected. The fetus was subjected to chromosomal karyotyping, whilst the fetus and its parents were subjected to array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). The candidate copy number variation (CNV) were verified by qPCR, Application goldeneye DNA identification system was used to confirm the parental relationship.
RESULTS:
The fetus was found to have a normal karyotype. aCGH analysis indicated that it has carried a 1.16 Mb deletion at 17p13.3, which partially overlapped with the critical region of Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS), in addition with a 1.33 Mb deletion at 17p12 region, which is associated with hereditary stress-susceptible peripheral neuropathy (HNPP). Its mother was also found to harbor the 1.33 Mb deletion at 17p12. qPCR analysis confirmed that the expression levels of genes from the 17p13.3 and 17p12 regions were about the half of that in the normal control, as well as the maternal peripheral blood sample. Parental relationship was confirmed between the fetus and its parents. Following genetic counseling, the parents has chosen to continue with the pregnancy.
CONCLUSION
The fetus was diagnosed with Miller-Dieker syndrome due to the de novo deletion at 17p13.3. Ventriculomegaly may be an important indicator for prenatal ultrasonography in fetuses with MDS.
