OBJECTIVETo detect potential mutation of the UGT1A1 gene in a child affected with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II.
METHODSBlood samples were collected from the patient and his parents for the extraction of genomic DNA. Potential mutation of the UGT1A1 gene was detected with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing. The child was followed up until the age of 3 years and 6 months.
RESULTSThe patient showed persistent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Sequencing of the UGT1A1 gene has detected a rare heterozygous c.610 A>G (p.Met204Val) mutation in the exon 1, in addition with a heterozygous c.1091 C>T (p.Pro364Leu) mutation in exon 4. The two mutations were inherited from his father and mother, respectively. The patient was diagnosed with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II and received oral phenobarbital treatment.
CONCLUSIONThe compound UGT1A1 gene mutation probably accounts for the disease in the patient manifesting persistent mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis should be provided for his family.

OBJECTIVETo reconstruct mandibular defect using tissue engineering bone with bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) cell sheets and investigate the effect of cell sheets on osteogenesis.
METHODSBMSCs were isolated with the method of density gradient centrifugation from canine and cultured. BMSCs were induced to differentiate to osteoblasts. BMSCs induced were fabricated to BMSCs cell sheets. The poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) wrapped with cell sheets were implanted into the mandibular defect in the left side (experimental side). PLGA wrapped without cell sheets were implanted into the right side (control side) of mandibles. 16 dogs were evenly divided into 4 groups, and one group of them was executed in 4, 8, 12, 16 weeks for gross investigation and histological observation.
RESULTSThe osteogenesis of experimental side was better than that of control side. 16 weeks after implantation, most areas of the mandibular defect were replaced by fresh bone tissue. Compact bone similar to normal bone tissue formed in the lingual defect of mandible and had bony union with the bone stump. The optical density of the fresh bone in the experimental side was higher than that of the control side, there was a significant difference between the two methods (P<0.05). Plenty of lamellar bones formed in experimental side and Haversian system, as well as red marrow, were observed.
CONCLUSIONTissue engineering bone with the structure of lamellar bones can be formed by the technology of BMSCs cell sheets.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics and differences of severe hyperbilirubinemia caused by hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.Methods:From January 2014 to December 2021, newborns (gestational age ≥ 35 weeks and postnatal age ≤ 28 d) admitted to the Department of Neonatology of Hunan Children's Hospital with severe hyperbilirubinemia caused by HDN or G6PD deficiency were retrospectively analyzed. According to the etiology of hyperbilirubinemia, they were assigned into HDN group and G6PD deficiency group. The general conditions, clinical manifestations, laboratory results, treatment and prognosis of the two groups were compared using SPSS 26.0 software.Results:A total of 532 cases were in the HDN group and 413 cases in the G6PD deficiency group. The HDN group reached peak hyperbilirubinemia earlier than the G6PD deficiency group [3(2,5) d vs. 6(4,8)d, P<0.05]. The HDN group had lower peak value of total serum bilirubin [379.5(345.6,426.7) μmol/L vs. 486.4 (413.5,577.4) μmol/L] and lower incidence of anemia [37.4% (199/532) vs. 55.0% (227/413)]than the G6PD deficiency group.The incidence of anemia with elevated reticulocyte percent(Ret%) in the HDN group was higher than the G6PD deficiency group[66.3%(132/199) vs. 5.7%(13/227), P<0.05]. Compared with the G6PD deficiency group, the incidences of exchange transfusion and repeated (≥2 times) exchange transfusion, acute bilirubin encephalopathy(ABE) and the mortality rate after withdrawal of treatment in the HDN group were significantly lower ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Neonatal severe hyperbilirubinemia caused by HDN has early onset. G6PD deficiency caused hyperbilirubinemia has higher incidences of anemia, more severe jaundice and ABE, without increased Ret%.
