Objective To observe the effect and toxicity of oxaliplatin plus 5-Fu and CF (FOLFOX) vs irinteean plus 5-Fu and CF (FOLFIRI) in patients with advanced/metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods 67 patients with histologicaly confirmed advanced/metastatic colorectal cancer were non-randomized to enter the study. Patients for FOLFOX: oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 iv 2 h d1.CF 200 mg/m2 iv 2 h followed by 5-Fu 250 mg iv bolus and 5-Fu 600 mg/m2 iv 22 h d1,2 were given, every 2 weeks as one cycle. FOLFIRI: irinotecan 150 mg/m2 iv d1. CF, 5-Fu do so. Efficacy was evaluated at 4 cycles. Results For 39 patients to FOLFOX and 37 patients to FOLFRI, the objective response rate (CR+PR) was 41.0 % vs 35.1%. The median time to progression was 5.2 months vs. 5.8 months in the FOLFOX and FOLFIRI arm. The median survival time was 13.2 months vs. 14.0 months in the FOLFOX and FOLFIRI arm respectively. The clinical benefit rate was 71.8 % vs 78.4 % in the FOLFOX and FOLFIRI ann respectively. There was no significantly differences between two arms (P>0.05). The most frequently observed toxicity reaction was hematological toxicity nausea/vomiting and neurn-sensory toxicity in FOLFOX arm, and hematological toxicity and diarrhea in FOLFIRI arm. FOLFIRI arm had a remarkably higher incidence rate of grade 3 diarrhea than FOLFOX arm(P<0.025). Conclusion FOLFOX and FOLFIRI arm provid high effective and well tolerable treatment for advanced/ metastatic colorectal cancer.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical characteristics and infection of children with Takayasu′s arteritis(TA) for improving the awareness of the disease.
Methods:
A retrospective study was performed on the 24 children with TA in our hospital.
Results:
The average onset age was 9.3±3.2 years old, the ratio of male to female was 1∶3. The most common TA type was thoracic abdominal aortic type (54.2%) in clinical classification. The initial symptoms included high blood pressure, dizziness/headache, fever and fatigue, etc.Six cases (25%) had tuberculosis infection, including 1 case of tuberculosis. There are 3 patients (8.3%) with elevated O levels, 2 patients (8.3%) with EB virus infection and 1 patient (4.2%) with small viral B19 infection.
Conclusions
The onset of TA in children is complicated. It is important to take examinations carefully for early diagnosis, avoiding delay treatment and bad prognosis.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical characteristics of eperythrozoonosis complicated with hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) in 4 children.
Methods:
Four patients diagnosed with eperythrozoonosis complicated with HPS in the Children's Hospital Affiliated Capital Institute of Pediatrics during the period from June 2014 to July 2016 were enrolled. The clinical manifestations, laboratory examination data and therapeutic strategies were analyzed. A literature search (search terms included 'eperythrozoonosis’ and 'hemophagocytic syndrome’) was conducted using CNKI, Wanfang database, Chinese biomedical literature database and PubMed to include recently published studies (searched from the database establishment to January 2017).
Results:
Four patients were included in the study. One was boy and the other three were girls. The age range of the 4 patients was between 9 months and 17 years (9 months, 2 years and 17 years, 11 months respectively). All the patients presented with recurrent high fever. During the course of fever, 3 patients presented with rash, and 2 patients presented with joint pain and swelling, which mimicked systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Only 1 patient had the contact history of infectious disease. All patients had normal or decreased white blood cell count ((0.80-13.12)×109/L), suffered from varied degrees of anemia and showed the increased C reactive protein (13.0-84.7 mg/L) anderythrocyte sedimentation rate (13-72 mm/1 h). Examination of peripheral blood smears confirmed eperythrozoonosis. After fever continued about 1 month, all the 4 patients rapidly progressed. Among the 4 patients, 1 patient died for giving up further therapy, and the other 3 patients completely recovered after treatment, including azithromycin for the treatment of eperythrozoonosis, and high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy and human immunoglobulin for the treatment of HPS. For the disease not satisfactory, the hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-2004 (HLH-2004) protocol is given. After the hospitalization of 1 to 2 months, the conditions improved and the children were discharged from hospital. Three patients were followed up for 8 months to 2 years, and their conditions were stable. In the PubMed database, no report was found. Nine cases of children with eperythrozoonosis were found in CNKI, Wanfang database and Chinese biomedical literature database, and 1 case was complicated with HPS. These findings, taken together our report, provided the data of 5 children with eperythrozoonosis complicated with HPS (4 cases were younger than 2 years old). A patient had contact history of infectious disease. Five patientss showed fever of unknown origin. All the patients had severe eperythrozoonosis, and 2 cases at younger age died.
Conclusions
Children with eperythrozoonosis often present with the protracted fever of unknown origin, and clinical manifestations mimic those of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (systemic type). The patients with eperythrozoonosis of mild-to-moderate disease severity may have a good prognosis. Children with severe eperythrozoonosis, especially those HPS cases with early onset before 2 years old, may have high risk of mortality. Once the patient's condition aggravates in the course of fever, HPS should be highly suspected. For the patients with eperythrozoonosis complicated with HPS, early diagnosis and the combination of anti-infection with the treatment of HPS are crucial for a good prognosis. For the treatment of HPS, HLH-2004 protocol is recommended.

Objective:
To report the clinical features of anti-MDA5 antibody positive juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) complicated with severe interstitial lung disease (ILD).
Methods:
The clinical data of three patients, who was admitted to the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Children's Hospital of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics from September 2016 to July 2017, with anti-melanoma differentiation associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody positive JDM complicated with ILD were retrospectively extracted and analyzed. Meanwhile, PubMed database, CNKI, Wanfang database and China Biology Medicine disc (from their establishment to February 2019) with the key words "juvenile dermatomyositis" "interstitial lung disease" , and "anti-MAD5 antibody" both in English and Chinese were searched.
Results:
There were 2 females and 1 male (P1-P3), aged from 10 years 3 months to13 years 4 months, the time from onset to diagnosis were 2 months, 4 months and 10 months. All presented with rash. One of them had decreased muscle strength, and two had decreased activity tolerance. Creatine kinase was 588, 915 and 74 U/L, and serum ferritin were 1 792, >2 000 and 195.4 μg/L. All three patients had positive anti-MDA5 antibodies. At the time of diagnosis, all of them had ILD, pneumothorax and mediastinal emphysema, but had no respiratory symptoms. All three patients received oral methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide pulse therapy, while human immunoglobulin was given only to P1 and P2. P1 developed rapid progressive pulmonary interstitial disease (RPILD) and died of respiratory failure after 2 months. While P2 and P3 were followed up for 1 to 2 years, who had complete remission, as anti-MDA5 antibody turned to negative and ILD improved significantly. Ten related reports in literature were retrieved, without reported Chinese cases, and most cases initiated with rash and very likely complicated with arthritis. Some of them were more likely to have ILD rather than muscle weakness. It also showed that Japanese JDM children had higher rate of positive anti-MDA5 antibody than patients from the U.S. and U.K., and are more susceptible to ILD and RPILD. The mortality rate of patients with RPILD is extremely high.
Conclusions
The cases of JDM with positive anti-MDA5 antibody mainly presented with rash and mild muscle weakness, and could be complicated with ILD, pneumothorax and mediastinal emphysema without respiratory symptoms at early stage. Anti-MDA5 antibody titer is related to disease activity and can turn to negative after treatment.

BACKGROUNDLung cancer is one of the most malignant cancers which is hazarding the people's health and life in the world. At present, it is a highlight to exploit antitumor drug from plant at home and abroad. The aim of this study is to observe the effects of polysaccharid (PS-T) on expression of angiogenic-related gene mRNA in human high-metastatic large cell lung cancer cell line L9981, and to explore its possible molecular mechanism.
METHODSL9981 in vitro was cultured, and the growth data were obtained by trypan blue staining. The mRNA transcript expression of β-catenin, E-cadherin, TIMP-1, CD44V6, MMP-2, endostatin, VEGF was detected in L9981 by RT-PCR before and after treating with PS-T. The ability of invasion of L9981 was determined by Boyden chamber method.
RESULTS(1)PS-T had remarkably inhibitive effects on the growth of L9981 in vitro. The inhibitive rate of PS-T on L9981 was concentration-dependent. No significant difference of inhibitive rate was found among the PS-T (1g/L), cisplatin (3mg/L) and PS-T (0.05g/L) + cisplatin (1.5mg/L)(P > 0.05). (2)The mRNA expression level of β-catenin, E-cadherin, TIMP-1, endostatin and MMP-2 was upregulated, while that of VEGF and CD44V6 was downregulated. Out of them the mRNA expression level of TIMP-1 and endostatin was remarkably upregulated, the expression level of CD44V6 was significanyly downregulated. (3)The in vitro invasive abilities of L9981 was significantly decreased in the PS-T, DDP and PS-T+DDP groups compared with that in blank control group.
CONCLUSIONS(1)PT-S could inhibit the growth of human high-metastatic large cell lung cancer cell line L9981 in vitro, the effect is dose-dependent. (2)PS-T can down- or up-regulate the mRNA transcript expression of some angiogenic-related gene mRNA. (3)PS-T has remarkably coordinating effects with cisplatin in the L9981 lung cancer cell line.

BACKGROUNDIt has been proved that selenium has remarkable effects in the prevention of cancer and proliferation inhibition for breast cancer and prostate cancer. Up to now, little is known, however, if methylseleninic acid (MSA) has the anticancer effect on lung cancer or not. The objective of this study is to detect the effect of MSA on proliferation inhibition and apoptotic induction for human high-metastatic large cell lung cancer cell line L9981, and to explore the molecular mechanisms.
METHODSThe changes of proliferation, clone formation, apoptotic level and cell cycles were detected in L9981 by trypan blue staining, clone formation suppression test, and flow cytometry before and after treating with different concentration of MSA. The expression level of proliferative-related and apoptotic-related genes was also determined in L9981 by flow cytometry.
RESULTS(1)The proliferation ability of L9981 was remarkably inhibited at the concentration of 0.5μmol/L of MSA (P < 0.05), and the cells were arrested at G0/G1 phase after treating with the same concentration. (2)Apoptosis of L9981 was remarkably induced by MSA at the concentration of 2.5μmol/L (P < 0.05). (3)The clone formation ability of L9981 was significantly suppressed by MSA at the concentration of 5.0μmol/L (P < 0.05). (4)The expression levels of P53, P21, Fas, FasL and Bax were remarkably up-regulated after treatment with MSA.
CONCLUSIONS(1)MSA can significantly suppress the proliferation and clone formation ability of human high-metastatic large cell lung cancer cell line L9981, and also induce apoptosis of L9981. (2)The anticancer effects of MSA might be related to regulate the expression of cell cycle-related genes and apoptotic-related genes in the human high-metastatic large cell lung cancer line L9981.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) complicated with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).Methods:From January 1st, 2018 to January 1st, 2020, 7 cases of SJIA-MAS were diagnosed. Their clinical and laboratory data were collected and summarized.Results:In these 7 cases, 2 were males and 5 were females, the ratio of male to female was 2∶5. The age range was 11 months to 2 years old. The course of disease was 14 to 32 days. The clinical manifestations included fever and rash in 7 without arthritis; hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy in 7; hematological involvement in 7; nervous system involvement in 2; digestive system involvement in 7; respiratory system involvement in 7; cardiovascular involvement in 3. White blood cell was decreased in 1 case, platelet was decreased in 1 case and hemoglobin was decreased in 7 cases. Ferritin, triglyceride, alanine transaminas and aspartate aminotransferase were increased in 7 cases, fibrinogen was significantly decreased in 7 cases, and direct bilirubin was increased in 4 cases. IL-2R was significantly increased. Hemophagocytosis was observed in bone marrow of 4 cases. Cerebrospinal fluid protein was 2 005 mg/L in 1 case. All the 7 cases were tested for exon genes, and no pathogenic mutation was found. All of the 7 cases showed lung lesions in chest CT scan. Multiple demyelinating lesions were found in 1 case by head magnetic resonance imaging. One case was treated with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone combined with IL-6 receptor antagonist(tocilizumab). The other 6 cases were treated with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone combined with cyclosporine A (CsA). Two cases were treated with Janus kinases inhibitor(tofacitinib). After treatment, 7 cases got relieved, no death, no recurrence oocurred during the follow-up.Conclusion:Acute onset, multiple organ involvement and no joint inflammation are prominent in MAS of infants and toddlers. High fever, proressive reduction of blood cells and increase of SF are significant in SJIA-MAS. High dose glucocorticoid combined with CsA can benefit in most cases, and some severe cases need to be treated with biological agents.
