Journal of Chinese Physician 2021;23(2):178-182,188
Cervical cancer, a common malignant tumor in female reproductive system, seriously threatens women's life and health. The standard surgery for early cervical cancer is radical hysterectomy + pelvic lymphadenectomy±para-aortic lymph node sampling. Lymph node metastasis is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of cervical cancer patients. Several researches showed that the incident of lymph node metastasis in early cervical cancer was approximately 20%. Giving the complications and sequelae of systematic lymph node resection, its application in early cervical cancer is still doubted. The sentinel lymph node, where lymph node metastasis firstly occurs, attracts much attention in the surgical treatment of malignant tumors. Hence, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) came into being. Recent studies have indicated that SLNB is safe and feasible for early cervical cancer and SLNB is recommended to patients with early cervical cancer. This article will introduce the application of SLNB in cervical cancer in the recent years and discuss its clinical value and related challenges.

Objective To explore a quick and feasible method of screening malaria parasite by using a Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer though alarm information on high eosinophil count and atypical eosinophil distributions in the WBC scattergram. Methods Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer was used for complete blood cell analysis. Microscopic review was used when high eosinophil count and atypicaleosinophil distributions in the WBC scattergram were found. If the review showed normal eosinophil cells, wecontinued to focus on red cell for searching malaria parasite. Results Among 1 501 specimens showing higheosinophil counts and atypical eosinophil distributions, nine cases with normal eosinophil cells were indisaccordance with the hematology analyzer, six of them showed high eosinophil count in the Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer, whose distribution was located close to neutrophil clusters in scattergram. The otherthree had an abnormal WBC scattergram. There was no gap between eosinophil clusters and neutrophilclusters, which brought no classified results. But all the nine specimens had been found the trophozoite,schizont and merozoite in blood smears. Conclusions There were great possibility of the existence of themalaria parasite in specimens when hematology analysis showed high eosinophil count and atypical eosinophildistributions in the WBC scattergram in a Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer, although these alarm wasnot comfirmed by microscopic review. This method provides not only a simple and reliable way for quickscreening malaria parasite but also has a great value in preventing the undetected ratio on malaria parasite.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and molecular genetic characteristics of 6q24-related transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (6q24-TNDM).Methods:The clinical data of two neonates with 6q24-TNDM admitted to Shanghai Children's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2017, were retrospectively collected. The methylation levels of 16 cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) sites from the methylated differentially modified region (DMR) in 6q24 were quantitatively analyzed by pyrosequencing.Results:Case 1, aged 5 d, was born at 37 +4 gestational weeks due to fetal growth restriction, and case 2 was 11-days old and born at 38 +2 gestational weeks. Both infants were male and small for age. They were born through a cesarean section. The birth weight of case 1 and case 2 were 2 340 g and 2 600 g, respectively. They were admitted due to hyperglycemia with blood glucose of 12.95 and 8.00 mmol/L on admission, respectively. Physical examination showed slightly poor skin elasticity and thin subcutaneous fat. Laboratory examination revealed lower serum insulin (<1.39 and 3.94 pmol/L) and peptide C (0.05 and 0.14 nmol/L) levels, positive results of urine glucose, negative tests for urine ketone, serum anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody, anti-insulin antibody, and islet cell antibody in both cases. Normal size of the pancreas was observed by ultrasonography. The infants were improved and were discharged after subcutaneous insulin infusion for more than two weeks. The treatment was discontinued at 69 d and 42 d postnatally for case 1 and case 2. Prenatal diagnosis of the two infants showed normal karyotypes and uniparental disomy of chromosome 6 indicated by single nucleotide polymorphism chip. No pathogenic mutations were detected by next-generation sequencing after admission. The methylation levels of 16 CpG sites in DMR of 6q24 in the two cases, which were quantitatively analyzed by pyrosequencing, were lower than 10% (normal value in healthy matched controls: 40%), indicating an obvious hypomethylation. Conclusions:For children with TNDM who are small for gestational age at birth, presenting hyperglycemia with decreased serum insulin and C-peptide levels, pyrosequencing can be used to quantitatively analyze the methylation levels of CpG sites in 6q24 DMR, which can quickly and directly assist in the diagnosis of 6q24-TNDM, thereby contributing to the treatment and prognosis assessment.
