Objectives To detect gene mutation associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and to identify mutation spectrum and clinical feature in HLH in children. Methods Thirty-seven (37) pediatric patients diagnosed with HLH according to 2004 clinical and laboratory criteria were enrolled from July 2012 to November 2015. Nucleotide sequences of all exons and their flanking intronic sequences of ten genes associated with HLH were amplified with PCR followed by direct sequencing. Point mutation analysis was performed after the direct sequencing. Results The median age of all the 37 patients was 2.6 years. The median ages of patients with gene mutation (n=22) and without gene mutation (n=15) was 2.09 years and 2.67 years, without statistical significance. Twenty-two patients were identified with gene mutations. All of them were heterozygous. UNC13D mutation (50%) is of the highest frequency in the above genes. The splicing mutations (38%) were the main type of UNC13D mutations,and missense mutations or frame-shift mutations were also found. There was no statistical difference in ages of onset and laboratory data of neutrophils, thrombocytes, NK cell activities within the three groups: multi-site mutations, single-site mutations and no mutations. EBV infection was detected in 70.3% patients. In mutation group, one patient died when he was in the period of inducing remission, and four patients were relapsed. Among them four patients were infected with EBV and one patients was negative at the onset while positive in recurrence. Conclusions UNC13D was the predominant causative gene in the Chinese population according our data. There was no significant relevance between age of onset, severity of disease and gene mutations. Attention should be paid to a patient with HLH gene mutation infected by EBV, which it might mean a poor prognosis.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of point injection at Xialiao point (BL 34) for levator ani syndrome. Methods A hundred levator ani syndrome patients were randomly allocated to a treatment group and a control group, 50 cases each. The treatment group received point injection at Xialiao point (BL 34) and the control group was intervened by biofeedback therapy. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), component scores of the MOS 36-item Short-From Health Survey (SF-36), anal resting and squeeze pressures were recorded in the two groups before and after the treatment. The therapeutic effects and therapy costs were compared between the two groups.Results The VAS, component scores of SF-36, anal resting and squeeze pressures were significantly changed after intervention in the two groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS, a part of the SF-36 score [physiological function (PF), body pain (BP), vitality (VT) and social function (SF) scores], anal resting and squeeze pressures in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The total efficacy rate was 88.0% in the treatment group versus 80.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The therapy costs in the treatment group were (327.31±13.42) RMB and (408.45±21.56) RMB in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusions Point injection at Xialiao point (BL 34) is an effective method for levator ani syndrome.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of wrist-ankle acupuncture in treating pain due to laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Method Totally 150 patients who were going to receive laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized into group A, group B, and group C, 50 cases in each group. Group A was intervened by wrist-ankle acupuncture prior to anesthesia, with the needles retained for 12 h; group B was by subcutaneous needling at the area nearby the points prior to anesthesia, with the needles retained for 12 h; group C didn’t receive any intervention before anesthesia. For the three groups, general inhalational and intravenous anesthesia was adopted for surgery, and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia for post-operation analgesia. The incision pain and visceral pain in the three groups were recorded by using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) respectively 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h after the operation. The total effective rate, analgesics consumption after operation, and incidence rate of adverse reaction were compared.Result There were significant differences in comparing the VAS scores of incision pain and visceral pain between group A and group C 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 36 h after the operation (P<0.01,P<0.05). Between group A and group B, there were significant differences in comparing the VAS score of incision pain 8 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 36 h after the operation and the VAS score of visceral pain 12 h, 24 h, and 36 h after the operation (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 96.0% in group A, which was significantly different from 84.0% in group B and 86.0% in group C (P<0.05). The consumption of Fentaneyl citrate injection was (52.4±10.8)μg in group A, which was significantly different from (92.2±11.0)μg in group B and (107.2±11.5)μg in group C (P<0.05,P<0.01). The incidence rate of adverse reactions was 12.0% in group A, which was significantly different from 58.0% in group B and 66.0% in group C (P<0.01).Conclusion Wrist-ankle acupuncture plus patient-controlled intravenous analgesia can mitigate pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and thus it can be taken as one of the post-operational analgesic approaches.

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on intracellular free Ca2+ concentration and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in PC12 cells exposed to bupivacaine. Methods The PC12 cells were provided by Shanghai Cell Biology Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences and cultured in DMEM liquid culture medium. The cultured PC12 cells were seeded in 36 well plates and randomly assigned to one of 4 groups (n=9 wells each): group Ⅰ control (C);group Ⅱ propofol (P);group Ⅲ bupivacaine (B) and group Ⅳ propofol + bupivacaine (PB). In control group D-Hank solution was added. The cells were exposed to propofol 2 mmol/L and bupivacaine 0.09 mmol/L in group P and B respectively. In group PB the cells were incubated with propofol 2 mmol/L and bupivacaine 0.09 mmol/L simultaneously. After being incubated for 6 and 24 h the apoptosis in BC12 cells was assessed by flow cytometry. Apoptotic rate was calculated. NOS activity and intracellular free Ca2+ coneentration in PC12 cells were determined. Results Bupivacaine significantly increased the apoptotic rate of PC12 cells, the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration and NOS activity in PC12 cells in group B as compared with control group. Propofol significantly decreased the toxic effects of bupivacaine on PC12 cells in group PB compared with group B. Conclusion Bupivacaine is toxic to PC12 cells by increasing apoptosis, intracellular Ca+ concentration and NOS activity in the cells. The toxic effects can be prevented to some extent by concomitant administration of propofol.
