Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of children with drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome(DIHS)complicated with herpesvirus reactivation,and to promote the early and accurate identification,diagnosis,and treatment of DIHS in children.Methods The medication history,clinical manifestations,treatment,and prognosis of 12 children confirmed DIHS complicated with herpesvirus reactivation in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between January 2018 and March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The changes in hematological parameters,inflammatory indexes,and hepatic and renal function within 5 d before the eruption,5 d,and 6-10 d after eruption were compared.Results Of the 12 patients,the male-to-female ratio was 5∶1,with a median age of 27(interquartile range 20.50-34.75)months.Two or more antibiotics were used at least two to six weeks before onset,with a combination of 3 or more antibiotics in 7 children,and a combined or sequential application of 2 antibiotics in 5 children.The antibiotics included cephalosporins(n=12),semisynthetic penicillins(n=5),vancomycin(n=4)and azithromycins(n=7).All 12 patients presented fever,rashes,and multiple organ involvement.The rashes were red maculopapules in the early stage and then gradually developed into massive fusion exceeding 50%of the whole body.Among them,seven children were accompanied by facial edema,and two had purplish-red facial rashes.11 children suffered from exfoliative dermatitis in the later stage.12 children presented obviously enlarged lymph nodes.Liver involvement was the most common(100%,simple increase of transaminase in four children,cholestasis in six children,and hepatic failure in two children),and lung involvement was found in nine children.Laboratory examination showed no significant increase in leukocytes or eosinophils within 5 d before the eruption,but low levels of atypical lymphocytes.After the eruption,leukocytes,eosinophils,and atypical lymphocytes increased progressively.Inflammatory indexes of hypersensitive C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT)increased dramatically before and after the eruption.All the children received intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG)and methylprednisolone,two children were given antiviral therapy,and nine children were treated with multiple plasma exchanges.After treatment,nine children were cured,one developed immune reconstitution syndrome,and two died of hepatic failure.Conclusions Antibiotics are common allergenic drugs for DIHS in children.Its clinical manifestations include fever and rashes,accompanied by multiple organ involvement,such as the liver and lung.When leukocytes,eosinophils,and atypical lymphocytes are progressively elevated after the eruption,DIHS should be highly suspected,herpesvirus activation should be monitored,medication history should be traced,and early active immunotherapy and antiviral therapy should be conducted if necessary.

AIM: To investigate the clinical value of serum vitamin A(Vit A)and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)levels predicting retinopathy of prematurity(ROP).METHODS: Prospective cohort studies. A total of 411 premature or low birth weight infants with gestational age less than 37 wk or birth weight less than 2 500 g who were delivered in Hainan Branch, Shanghai Children's Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as subjects. The Vit A and bFGF levels in peripheral blood were detected at 7 d and 35 d after birth, respectively.RESULTS: A total of 392 premature infants or low birth weight infants completed clinical study, including 51 cases in stage 1-2 ROP group, 23 cases in stage 3-5 ROP group and 318 cases in the group without ROP. At 7 d postnatal, the serum Vit A(0.44±0.17 μmol/L)and bFGF(0.53±0.16 ng/L)levels in stage 1-2 ROP group were lower than those in the group without ROP(0.50±0.12 μmol/L and 0.63±0.15 ng/L; all P<0.05). The serum Vit A(0.34±0.18 μmol/L)and bFGF(0.44±0.18 ng/L)levels in stage 3-5 ROP group were lower than those in the group without ROP(P<0.05). The serum Vit A and bFGF levels in stage 3-5 ROP group were lower than those in stage 1-2 ROP group(P<0.05). At 35d postnatal, the serum Vit A(0.33±0.19 μmol/L)and bFGF(0.39±0.19 ng/L)levels in stage 3-5 ROP group were lower than those in stage 1-2 ROP group(0.43±0.16 μmol/L and 0.48±0.17 ng/L; all P<0.05). According to the ROC curve drawn by serum Vit A, the AUC value was 0.853, the maximum Youden index was 0.68, the best sensitivity was 73%, and the best specificity was 95%. According to the ROC curve drawn by serum bFGF, the AUC value was 0.828, the maximum Youden index was 0.58, the best sensitivity was 90%, and the best specificity was 68%. According to the ROC curve drawn by serum Vit A combined with bFGF, the AUC value was 0.917, the maximum Youden index was 0.70, the best sensitivity was 70%, and the best specificity was 100%.CONCLUSION: Serum Vit A and bFGF levels are sensitive and effective indicators for predicting ROP. If the serum Vit A or bFGF levels are lower in premature infants or low birth weight infants, it may indicate the higher probability of ROP and its pathological stages. In addition, the clinica value of serum Vit A combined with bFGF in the diagnosis of ROP is higher than that of Vit A or bFGF alone, and the misdiagnosis rate is reduced.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between hope, mental suffering and quality of life in radiotherapy patients with cervical cancer, to provide the basis for the cancer patient′s psychological intervention. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 120 cases of radiotherapy cervical cancer patients was conducted, using the psychological distress thermometer, Herth Hope Scale, Life Quality Measurement Scale for patients with cervical cancer to evaluate patients′ hope, quality of life and psychological distress. Results: Radiotherapy cervical cancer patients′ psychological distress and hope were negatively correlated (r=-0.385, P <0.01), psychological distress and quality of life were negatively correlated (r=-0.602, P <0.01), hope and quality of life were positive correlation (r=0.711, P <0.01). Patients′ hope played partially mediated effect between psychological distress and quality of life, emotional status, functional status, played fully mediated effect between psychological distress and social family status. The Mediated effect sizes were 35.9%, 36.3%, 55.9% and 100.0%. Conclusions Psychological distress has not only a direct negative effect on the quality of life of cancer patients, but also an indirect negative effect through hope. During the Medical care, we should accurately assess of patient's psychological distress and hope, and take measures to help improve patients' hope and alleviate psychological distress, so as to improve patients′ quality of life.

CYP450 plays an essential role in the development and growth of the fruits of. However, little is known about thegene in. Here, based on transcriptome data, a full-length cDNA sequence ofwas cloned by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid-amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) strategies.is 1677 bp in length (GenBank accession No. AEM42985.1) and contains a complete open reading frame (ORF) of 1422 bp. The deduced protein was composed of 473 amino acids, the molecular weight is 54.01 kDa, the theoretical isoelectric point (PI) is 8.8, and the protein was predicted to possess cytochrome P450 domains.gene was highly expressed in root, diploid fruit and fruit treated with hormone and pollination. At 10 days after treatment with pollination and hormones, the expression of Sghad the highest level and then decreased over time, which was consistent with the development of fruits of. Hormonal treatment could significantly induce the expression of. These results provide a reference for regulation of fruit development and the use of parthenocarpy to generate seedless fruit, and provide a scientific basis for the production of growth regulator application agents.

Objective To study the awareness of perimenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) among a part of the medical care personnel in Guiyang . Methods A survey was conducted among 500 medical staff members in 4 hospitals of Guiyang by cluster random sampling using questionnaire about HRT. Results The survey showed that 74.6% (373/500) medical staff thought that the hormone replacement therapy was necessary to perimenopausal women; 96.7% (87/90) of obstetrics and gynecology doctors believed that it was necessary for perimenopausal women to use HRT,which was significantly higher than the doctors of other specialties 68.6% (166/242) and the nurses group 71.4% (120/168) (χ2=28.509, 23.537, P<0.01). Only 5.8%(29/500) of the medical personnel were willing to recommend HRT. In light of the attitude for recommending HRT, the obstetricians and gynecologists group was more significantly higher than the other specialties doctors group (χ2=86.781, P<0.01). Conclusion The knowledge of hormone replacement therapy in part of Guiyang medical personnel is not sufficient;the recommending rate of HRT was low;the side effects of HRT was still a concern. There are differences between obstetrics and gynecology doctors and doctors other specialties and nurses in HRT knowledge.

OBJECTIVETo analyze epidemiological characteristics of norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney from January 2012 to June 2014 in sentinel hospitals of Guangdong province, as well as the outbreaks caused by norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney.

METHODSDuring January 2012 to June 2014, a total of 10 750 fecal samples were obtained from 22 hospitals of surveillance sites in Guangdong province. Those samples were sent to the local municipal CDCs for extracting and detecting norovirus nucleic acid. Then, all the positive samples were delivered to Guangdong provincial CDC that used Random Number Method to draw 855 positive samples for norovirus genotyping, and 690 samples were successfully sequenced. Chi-square tests were used to compare norovirus infection status of diarrhea cases in different age groups as well as during different periods. Epidemiological data of 13 outbreaks which were caused by norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney from January 2012 to June 2014 were collected from the Public Health Emergency Management Information System of Guangdong Province, and the epidemiological characteristics were analyzed.

RESULTSThe norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney was first detected in August 2012 and the detection rate was 13/15 in November 2012. During November 2012 to January 2013 (period T1), the norovirus positive rate of each month was 23.8% (100/421), 15.9% (61/383) and 19.2% (95/495), respectively. During November 2013 to January 2014 (period T2), the norovirus positive rate of each month was 17.0% (90/529), 8.7% (37/426) and 11.2% (46/409), respectively which were significantly lower than that of period T1 (χ² alue was 6.65, 9.93 and 10.74. P value was 0.010, 0.002, and 0.001, respectively). In period T1, the norovirus positive rate of people ages 15 and older was 26.3% (143/543) and the rate of people under 15 was 14.9% (113/756) (χ² = 2.90, P < 0.001). In period T2, the norovirus positive rate of people ages 15 and older was 10.1% (52/516) and the rate of people under 15 (14.3% (121/848)) (χ²= 5.09, P = 0.024). The foodborne transmission was the infection source for ten of thirteen outbreaks.

CONCLUSIONThe norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney was first detected in August 2012. The epidemic began to occur in the community since November 2012, and the strength of the epidemic declined 1 year later. The foodborne transmission was the main infection sources for the outbreaks caused by norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney.
