Ohjective To investigate the associations between the Arg389Gly polymorphism of the β_1-adrenergiecreceptor gene (ADRB1) and vasovagal syncope (VVS) in Chinese children. Methods Genotype of ADRB1 was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length pelymorphism analysis. Case-control studies and quantitative trait analysis were carried out by comparing between carriers (one or two copies of the Gly389 allele) and non-carriers (Arg389 genotype) of the ADRBI in 54 patients with unexplained syncope and in 54 healthy control subjects. Patients were subdivided into two groups according to head up tilt test (HUTT) : positive HUTT, known as VVS group and negative HUTT group. Distribution of Arg389Gly genetype in VVS group and the relationship to three clinical patterns were also analyzed. Results An allele frequency of Arg389 was 73.15% and Gly389 was 26.85% in healthy subjects. Higher Gly389 allele frequency was found in VVS group (n = 30) than that in negative HUTT group (33.33% vs. 14.58%, P < 0.05). In VVS group, the frequencies of the Gly389 allele in cardioinhibitory pattern (n = 6), mixed pattern (n = 9) and vasodepressor pattern (n = 15) was 66.67%, 33.3% and 23.33%, respectively, which had significant differences between the cardioinhibitory pattern from any of the other two patterns (both P < 0.05). Conclusions An association of positive HUTT with a single nucleotide pelymorphism of Gly to Arg switch at position 389 of the ADRB1 was found. This polymorphism may contribute to susceptibility to VVS.

Objective To study the relationship between APOBEC3G mRNA level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and serum hepatitis C viral RNA level in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. Methods TaqMan real-time fluorescence relative quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to quantify APOBEC3G mRNA levels in PBMC from 49 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and 31 healthy subjects. The relationship between APOBEC3G mRNA level and hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load was analyzed. SPSS11. 0 statistics software was used for t test and regression analysis. Results APOBEC3G mRNA level in CHC patients [(1.5×10-5±1.9×10-5 ) copy/mL] was significantly lower than that [( 5. 2 × 10-5 ± 5. 5 × 10-5 ) copy/mL] in the healthy control subjects (t=-3.005, P<0.01). While APOBEC3G mRNA level was not related with HCV viral loads (r=-0.082, P>0.05). Conclusion HCV has an inhibitive effect on APOBEC3G expression, whereas APOBEC3G doesn't affect HCV replication directly in vivo.

Objective To explore the factors related to vasovagal syncope (VVS) in children. Methods The clinical data of 125 children with conifrmed VVS were collected. According to the frequency of syncope during the ifve years from ifrst episode to the time of head-up tilt test, the children with 2 or 3 episodes of syncope were assigned into the low episode group, and the children with 4 or more episodes of syncope were assigned into the high episode group. The two groups were analyzed and compared. Results Among the 125 children, 84 children (67.2%) were in the low episode group and 41 children (32.8%) were in the high episode group. The single factor analysis showed that the age at head-up tilt test, onset of syncopal, causes of syncope, history of carsickness, and positive family history were associated with high attack frequency. The results of non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that causes of syncope (OR?=?3.723, 95%CI:1.163-11.918, P?=?0.027), history of carsickness (OR?=?5.929, 95%CI:2.066-17.015, P?=?0.001), and positive family history (OR?=?6.794, 95%CI:2.006-23.013, P?=?0.002) were the independent risk factors of high attack frequency. Conclusions The causes of syncope (excluding persistent standing), history of carsickness, and positive family history have important clinical signiifcance in predicting high attack frequency of VVS in children.

OBJECTIVETo survey the quality of life in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
METHODSNinety-eight children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes who participated in Diabetes Summer Camp held in Chongqing, Wuhan and Cheng during 2012 April and December were recruited in the study. The American juvenile diabetes patients quality of life scale Diabetes Quality of Life for Youths was used to assess the quality of life and SPSS19.0 was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTSThe scale had satisfactory reliability and validity with a Cronbach's Alpha score of 0.942 and a validity score of 0.679. All three dimension of scales: scales of impact, scales of worries and scales of satisfaction were significantly correlated with self-health assessment (P<0.01). The scores of impact and worries accounted for >50% of total scores as the same for the self health assessment scores. The score of disease course, diet and blood glucose control were positive correlated with each other. Age and HbA1c were positively correlated with the scale of impact, while gender has negative correlation with satisfaction scale (P<0.05). The diabetes diet had significant effects on the quality of life.
CONCLUSIONThe quality of life in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes is decreased, especially for those with longer disease course and female adolescents. The form of Diabetes Quality of Life for Youth used in the study has good reliability and validity, which can reflect the quality of life of Chinese diabetic children and adolescents.

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common cause of unexplained syncope in children. The etiology of VVS is complex, and its diagnosis is mainly based on clinical manifestations and head-up tilt test (HUT) . It has been pointed out that neuroendocrine system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of syncope. HUT-induced syncope is accompanied by abnormal neurohumoral activation. The changes of plasma concentration of endothelin-1 and nitric oxide secreted by endothelial system before and after VVS syncope in children suggest that endothelial system is involved in the occurrence of VVS in children. This article reviews the research on the involvement of vascular endothelial system in the pathogenesis of VVS in children.

Systemic immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis is a protein-misfolding disease caused by the highly organized amyloid fibrillar aggregates that lead to irreversible organ dysfunction. This review summarizes systemic therapies for this disease according to the disease risk stratification. Patients with low-risk systemic immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis are eligible for chemotherapy combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Patients with high-risk systemic immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis can be treated with protease inhibitors (such as bortezomib, carfilzomib and ixazomib) , immunomodulatory agents (such as lenalidomide, pomalidomide) and new immunological agents (such as daratumumab and NEOD001) .
