Objective To obtain in situ pairing of the variable region genes of the immunoglobulin heavy and light chains of B cells from vitiligo patients. Methods Fifty vitiligo patients were screened by a live melanocyte enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay. The sera from seven patients were proved to be strongly positive. Then CD19+ B cells were isolated from the peripheral blood lymphocytes of the 7 patients, then fixed in 10% buffered formaldehyde and permeabilised by Proteinase K. The mRNA was amplified within the cells by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with specific primers. The immunoglobulin VH and VL DNA assembled within the same cells using the Cre/loxP system. Nested primers were designed to amplify the known major human VH and VL gene familes. Result A unique 800bp band was obtained corresponding in size to single chain Fv fragments. Conclusion The in situ pairing of the variable region genes of the immunoglobulin heavy and light chains of B cells is obtained from vitiligo patients by in-cell PCR.

5.Relationship between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons internal exposure and lung function change among healthy college students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(9):1409-1413
Objective:
To investigate the relationship between urinary monohydroxylated metabolites of hydroxyl polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OH-PAHs) and lung function, as well as the role of oxidative stress in these associations, so as to provide a scientific basis for air pollution control and policy formulation.
Methods:
A panel study was carried out among 45 young healthy adults. Four follow up surveys and health examinations were conducted from November 2017 to October 2018 to measure lung function parameters [forced vital capacity (FVC), second forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF), FEV1/FVC, and forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% vital capacity (FEF 25%~75% )], markers of exposure to 7OHPAHs [∑ 7OH PAHs], and markers of oxidative stress[8 hydroxy 2 deoxyguanosine (8 OHdG) and 8 isoprostaglandin F 2α (8 iso PGF 2α )]. The relationship between urinary PAH metabolites and lung function was quantified by linear mixed effects models. Mediation analysis was performed to assess the role of oxidative stress in the relationship between OH PAHs and lung function.
Results:
The median values of FVC, FEV1, FEVI/FVC, PEF, and FEF 25%-75% were 4.37 L, 3.58 L, 83.00%, 4.38 L/s, and 3.32 L/s, respectively. The results showed that each 1 unit increase in log transformed value of 2 Hydroxyfluorene (2 OHFlu) was associated with a 5.05% decrease ( β %=-5.05%,95% CI =-8.85%--1.09%) in FVC, 4.15% decrease ( β %=-4.15%,95% CI =-7.94%- -0.22% ) in FEV1 and 5.87% decrease ( β %=-5.87%,95% CI =-11.35%--0.05%) in FEF 25%-75% , respectively. Each 1 unit increase in log transformed values of 2 OHFlu and 9 Phenanthrol (9 OHPhe) was associated with a 7.03% decrease ( β %=-7.03%,95% CI =-12.60%--1.11%) and a 7.08% decrease ( β%=-7.08%,95% CI =-13.50%--0.17%) in PEF, respectively. Additionally, urinary ∑ 7OH PAHs had a positive correlation with the levels of urinary 8 OHdG and 8 iso PGF 2α ( r =0.64, 0.69, P <0.01). Meanwhile, the levels of 8 OHdG mediated 17.06% and 15.71% of the association between 2 OHFlu with FVC and FEV1.
Conclusion
The finding reveales a negative relationship between urinary OH PAHs and lung function among young healthy adults. The 8 OHdG plays a mediated role in the correlation of 2 OHFlu with FVC and FEV1. Active relevant policies are needed to control air pollution and maintain the healthy living conditions of young people.

Objective:To investigate the difference between the concentration of the peripheral ionized calcium (iCa) monitored at different blood collection points and the target concentration of anticoagulant efficacy in patients with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), so as to provide scientific basis for the best blood collection point in clinical practice.Methods:Taking patients of department of critical care medicine, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology receiving CRRT therapy with 4% citrate anticoagulation as research objects. Type of Prisma-FlexV8CRRT as well as department self-made substituate and dialyzate were adopted for all patients receiving CRRT therapy. Patients were divided into continuous veno- venous hemofiltration (CVVH) group ( n=10) and continuous veno- venous hemodialysis (CVVHD) group ( n=30) depending on their actual conditions and treatment needs. Blood collection was conducted at specific sites for extracorporeal peripheral ionized calcium concentration determination before and after the filter at the time of 2, 4, 8, 14, 20 hours following CRRT therapy for patients from both groups. Target concentration of extracorporeal peripheral ionized calcium was set as 0.2-0.4mmol/L for ensuring the efficacy of extracorporeal citrate anticoagulation. Results:Totally 400 testing results were obtained from 40 included patients during their treatment. In CVVH group, 100 testing results were obtained at the time of 2, 4, 8, 14, 20 hours following CRRT therapy and no significant statistical difference was shown ( P>0.05). In CVVHD group, 300 testing results were obtained at the time of 2, 4, 8, 14, 20 hours following CRRT therapy. The iCa concentration before the filter were (0.53±0.01), (0.50±0.01), (0.52±0.01), (0.53±0.01), (0.53±0.02) mmol/L while the iCa concentration after the filter were (0.41±0.01), (0.40±0.01), (0.39±0.02), (0.41±0.01), (0.40±0.01) mmol/L accordingly, and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 75.24-103.41, P<0.01). Conclusions:For patients receiving CRRT treatment with citrate anticoagulation in different CRRT mode, testing results obtained from blood collection sites before and after the filter could not reflect the efficacy of citrate anticoagulation correctly and simultaneously to ensure the secure use of the extracorporeal pipelines and filter. In CVVH mode, iCa concentration determined from blood samples collected from sites before and after the filter could refelct the efficacy of citrate anticoagulation equally, while in CVVHD mode, blood collection and determination are suggested to conduct at the site before the filter to faciliate the assessment of the citrate anticoagulation efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and gene variant characteristics of PCDH19 gene related epilepsy, and improve the ability of clinicians in early disease identification. Methods:The clinical data of 3 PCDH19 gene related epilepsy patients admitted to Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from October 2018 to August 2023 diagnosed by gene detection were reviewed and analyzed. Results:All the patients are female, and the onset age of seizure ranged in their infancy. Seizures in clusters and fever sensitivity were observed in all patients, and were very hard to control by single-drug treatment. Proband 1 was seizure-free after 2 kinds of anti-epileptic drug treatment, but with mild degree of intellectual disability. Proband 2 had refractory epilepsy with severe degree of intellectual disability. Proband 3 was seizure-free after 2 kinds of anti-epileptic drug treatment and without intellectual disability. In the first family, the proband carried heterozygous c.369C>G variant in the PCDH19 gene which was identified as de novo after parental validation. In the second family, the proband carried c.1652T>A variant inherited from her mother. In the third family, the proband carried c.278G>A variant inherited from her father. The 3 mutations had not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database. Conclusions:PCDH19 gene related epilepsy is one special kind of X-linked inherited epilepsy syndrome characterized by seizures in clusters and sensitivity to fever. And gene detection can help with early diagnosis and make rational clinical strategies in time. The variants c.369C>G, c.1652T>A and c.278G>A have enriched the gene variant spectrum of PCDH19.

Objective:To report a case of tocilizumab successfully used in a child with febrile infection-associated epilepsy syndrome (FIRES), and to provide a new idea for the treatment of FIRES in children.Methods:The diagnosis and treatment of 1 case of FIRES admitted in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University on February 15, 2021 were described, and the prognosis and follow-up of the child were evaluated. At the same time, the literatures on tocilizumab in the treatment of children′s FIRES were reviewed.Results:A 5-year-old case of FIRES was reported. The child was extremely refractory to immunotherapy and anti-seizure medicines, anesthetics and ketogenic diet. So he was treated with tocilizumab (each time 4 mg/kg) at the 36th day and 43rd day, and epileptic seizures were controlled 10 days after the 2nd doses of tocilizumab. During a follow-up of 10 months, his epileptic seizures were controlled and the cognitive behavior and speech function were well recovered. At present, only 3 cases of FIRES in children have been reported all over the world. All the seizures were well controlled and no obvious adverse reactions were observed.Conclusions:FIRES is a rare refractory epilepsy syndrome, resistant to many kinds of anti-seizure medicines or even anesthetic agents, which is difficult to treat and has poor prognosis. Preliminary trials have shown that tocilizumab is effective and well tolerated in children with FIRES. It may be a potential therapeutic modality for children with FIRES.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological patterns and pathogens of clusters of diarrhea in Xicheng Distract , Beijing during 2017-2022 , in order to update the policy of prevention. Mehods Between January 2017 and December 2022, stool samples of patients and partly cooks in clusters of diarrhea were collected and tested by Real-time PCR for Rotavirus, Norovirus, Adenovirus, Sapovirus and Astrovirus. Part of ORF1/ORF2 from Norovirus positive samples were amplified using RT-PCR. PCR products were sequenced and the genetypes were determined. Results Four hundreds and one clusters of diarrheas were reported. Among them , 369 were reported in kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools. The morbidities were 4.14, 2.13 and 0.69 per thousand, respectively. Seventy four cooks in 15 clusters of diarrhea were Norovirus positive. The rate was 8.67%. Among these pathogens, Norovirus had the largest proportion , but the trend was declining. At least three kinds of genetype of GⅡ Norovirus were detected every year. Conclusion Clusters of diarrhea mainly occurred in kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools. Result from the increasing proportions of unknown-cause clusters of diarrhea, the testing methods and scopes of pathogens should be extended. Diverse genetypes of Norovirus coexist and alternate in Beijing. So appearance of new genetypes and recombination of existed ones of Norovirus should be closely concerned.
