Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in Chinese on the intracellular glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and reactive oxygen intermediates production of peripheral neutrophil. Methods: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, its mRNA expression and reactive oxygen intermediates production(NBT test) in silent or stimulated neutrophil from health controls and patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency were analysized. Results: Compared with health controls, the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of peripheral neutrophil from patients with glucose-6 -phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency was decreased, and its mRNA expression increased. Reactive oxygen intermediate production increased(no statistical signification) in silence but decreased following stimulation by LPS in neutrophil from normal individuals than that from patients. Conclusion: Decreased activity of G-6-PD and production of reactive oxygen intermediates following stimulation in neutrophil could be caused by G-6-PD deficiency in Chinese.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic risk factors of accidental injuries in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Methods:The children with accidental injuries admitted to the PICU at Shanghai Children′s Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were divided into survival group and death group according to outcome.We collected the patients′ clinical data and laboratory indexes, and analyzed the differences between two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to screen the risk factors of death and receiver-operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to determine the threshold.Results:(1)A total of 253 children were included, accounting for 5.2% of PICU hospitalization during the same period.There were 137 males(54.2%)and 116 females(45.8%), with an average age of 45(19, 96)months.The top three causes of accidental injuries were fall injury in 82 cases(32.4%), traffic accident in 70 cases(27.7%)and foreign body in 39 cases(15.4%). There were 22 cases of deaths, with a fatality rate of 8.7%.(2)The mean arterial pressure at admission in the death group was lower than that in the survival group( P<0.05), and the total length of stay was longer( P<0.001). There were significant differences in Glasgow coma scale, Pediatric Risk of Mortality Scoring Ⅲ(PRISM Ⅲ)between the two groups( P<0.001). In the death group, and the blood lactic acid(LA) significantly increased( P<0.001), hemoglobin and fibrinogen were lower than those in the survival group, the activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time(PT)were significantly prolonged( P<0.001). (3)Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that PRISM Ⅲ score, LA and PT were independent risk factors for the death of accidental injuries.The area under curve(AUC)of PRISM Ⅲ score was 0.987(95% CI 0.976-0.999, P<0.001)and the cut-off value was 11 with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 95.7%.The AUC of LA was 0.886(95% CI 0.810-0.961, P<0.001)and the cut-off value was 3.1 mmol/L with a sensitivity of 85.7% and a specificity of 77.3%.The AUC of PT was 0.835(95% CI 0.730-0.941, P<0.001)and the cut-off value was 13.9 s with a sensitivity of 86.6% and a specificity of 72.7%. Conclusion:The main accidental injuries in PICU of our hospital in the past three years are falling injuries, traffic accidents and foreign body injuries.PRISM Ⅲ score, LA and PT at admission are independent risk factors for predicting death.

Objective To explore the relationship between m6A RNA methylation regulators and prognosis of prostate cancer.Methods Clinicopathological and mRNA-related data of 496 cases of prostate cancer were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,and 12 m6A regulators were identified:METTL3,METTL14,WTAP,RBM15,ZC3H13,YTHDC1,YTHDC2,YTHDF1,YTHDF2,HNRNPC,FTO,and ALKBH5.The m6A regulators differentially expressed in prostate cancer samples were screened.Unsupervised clustering of prostate cancer tissues was used to compare differences in overall survival.Multivariate Cox regres-sion analysis was used to divide patients into high-and low-risk groups according to the risk scores,and survival rates were compared.The risk score of clinicopathological factors was determined,and a multivariate Cox regression analysis model was constructed to evaluate the prognostic prediction value.Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect METTL14 and FTO expression in prostate cancer tis-sues.Results Eight differentially expressed regulators were screened from 12 m6A regulators.Unsupervised cluster analysis divided the samples into Clusters 1,2,and 3 and found significant differences in survival time in all three groups.Multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that METTL14and FTOwere strongly associated with the prognosis of patients with prostate cancer.A Cox regression model con-structed to score the risk of prostate cancer revealed that the high-and low-risk groups had survival differences,and the risk score could be used as an independent prognostic factor.The positive expression rates of METTL14 and FTO protein in prostate cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in adjacent tissues(P<0.05).Conclusion In this study,a prognostic prediction model based on m6A regulators of prostate cancer was constructed,in which the risk score could be used as an independent prognostic factor.METTL14and FTOcould be used as molecular markers for the diagnosis of prostate cancer and as potential targets for treatment.
