China Tropical Medicine 2023;23(6):672-
Abstract: Objective To report the clinical characteristics and genetic test results of two children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and to provide reference for the comprehensive diagnosis-treatment and follow-up plans of NF1 patients based on the existing diagnosis and treatment progress of NF1. Methods Two children with NF1 admitted to the Department of Children's Medicine, Haikou people's Hospital in May and June 2022 were selected to analyze the clinical data of their clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, genetic test results, diagnosis and treatment and follow-up retrospectively. Results Two children had typical clinical manifestations, such as café-au-lait spots, axillary freckles, intraocular iris hamartoma. Venous blood was collected from case 1 and his parents for NF gene test, and a new mutation of c.4084C>T in the NF1 gene was found, and their parents did not have the pathogenic gene; the venous blood of the children in case 2 was tested for whole-exome gene analysis, and a heterozygous nonsense variant c.910C>T:p.R304 on the NF1 gene was found, , which was verified by Sanger sequencing to be inherited from his mother, his mother has café-au-lait spots and brain glioma, and has undergone surgery to remove the brain glioma, but has not undergone chemoradiotherapy or targeted therapy. No neurological malignancies were detected in either of the two children at follow-up until July 2022. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of NF1 are relatively typical, genetic testing is conducive to determine its classification, and regular follow-up review can help to detect and treat malignant tumors early, thus improving the patient's quality of life.

Background Evidences, from recent studies, suggested that Borna disease virus (BDV) infection might be associated with human neuropsychosis, especially psychiatric disorders including depressive disorder(DD). However, controversy existed about the association between BDV infection and pathogenesis of DD. This study was to explore further whether the infection of Borna disease virus (BDV) is associated with the pathogenesis of depressive disorder (DD).Methods The p 24 fragment of BDV RNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 60DD patients and 120 healthy volunteers was detected by nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (nRT-PCR) combined with fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQPCR). Positive products were cloned and sequenced before being compared with Strain V and strain He/80, from humans and animals.Results The positive rate (5%, 3/60) of BDV p 24 in PBMCs from the DD patients was significantly higher than that (0%, 0/120) from healthy volunteers ( P<0. 05). The gene sequence for the positive products showed BDV p 24 in PBMCs from DD patients in Chongqing was most homophylic with H1766 strain detected from iii horses (97.68%), with 2 situs mutations (nt 1675 T→C, nt 1678 C→T), and also similar to the standard strain V(96. 51%)and He/80(95.35 %), with basic exchanges limited to T- C and A→G.Conclusions There was BDV infection in the DD patients in China, which indicated that the pathogenesis of DD in human beings in Chongqing might be associated with the infection of BDV.
