Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of pediatric autoimmune encephalitis associated with anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) antibody.Methods:Clinical data of 2 patients diagnosed as autoimmune encephalitis associated with anti-GAD65 antibody at Department of Neurology, Beijing Children′s Hospital in 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. A literature search with “anti-GAD65 antibody”“encephalitis”“epilepsy” or “cerebellar ataxia” as key words was conducted at China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform and PubMed (up to January 2020). The clinical features and prognosis of pediatric cases with complete clinical data were retrieved and summarized.Results:Two patients with positive anti-GAD65 antibody of serum and cerebrospinal fluid were both females. The onset age of case 1 was 57 months and her main clinical manifestations were fever and unconsciousness. The cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed diffuse T2 weighted imaging (T2WI) abnormal signals, and the electroencephalogram (EEG) showed slow waves. The onset age of case 2 was 80 months and her main clinical manifestations of were recurrent focal seizures, memory loss, and headache. The MRI showed high T2WI signal in bilateral hippocampus, and the EEG showed abnormal discharge involving the temporal area. Both cases were treated with methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin, the short-term symptoms of them were both improved. They were followed up for 6 months and 1 year respectively, the case 1 recovered completely, and the case 2 still had focal seizures. Six English reports which included 6 cases were retrieved. Together with these 2 cases, a total of 8 cases were analyzed. The clinical symptoms included seizures (6 cases), memory loss (4 cases), loss of consciousness (3 cases), behavioral abnormalities (3 cases), cognitive impairment (2 cases), headache (2 cases), autonomic symptoms (1 case), ataxia (1 case), dysphagia (1 case), and aphasia (1 case). There were 5 cases with cranial MRI abnormalities in the acute phase or sub-acute phase, of whom 3 cases had the limbic system involvement, and 2 cases were mainly had extra limbic area involvement. Three cases had hippocampal atrophy or sclerosis during follow-up. All 8 patients were treated with immunotherapy. After immunotherapy, all patients had short-term improvement. Follow-up for 6 months to 6 years showed that 3 cases with extra limbic encephalitis improved to baseline levels, and 5 limbic encephalitis cases had poor outcomes, including 1 death and 4 cases still had focal epilepsy.Conclusions:Pediatric anti-GAD65 antibody associated autoimmune encephalitis is a rare but treatable disease, including limbic encephalitis and extra limbic encephalitis. The most common clinical manifestations are seizures and memory impairment. Early diagnosis and immunotherapy can improve the symptoms in a short time. But patients with limbic encephalitis often had refractory epilepsy in the chronic phase, and have a poor long-term outcome.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, imaging findings and prognosis of children with overlapping syndrome of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody disease and anti-N-methyl-D aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis (MNOS).Methods:The clinical manifestations, immunological antibodies in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, cranial image, treatment and follow-up of 11 patients diagnosed as MNOS in the Department of Neurology, Beijing Children′s Hospital from January 2011 to April 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:A total of 11 patients, including 4 males and 7 females were analyzed, the age of onset was (10.4±2.3) years. A total of 29 episodes occurred in 11 children. At the last follow-up, 8 cases showed relapsed remission course, the interval of recurrence was 3 to 60 months. The onset symptoms of 11 patients included convulsions (10 cases), lethargy (6 cases), psychosis (6 cases). Among 29 episodes, the common symptoms were convulsions (16 episodes), psychosis (13 episodes),and lethargy (10 episodes). According to the diagnostic criteria of anti-NMDAR encephalitis and MOG-antibody disease, 29 episodes were divided into three phenotypes, including anti-NMDAR encephalitis(4 episodes), MOG-antibody diseases (10 episodes) and overlapping types (15 episodes).Twenty-seven times of acute stage cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were available, common lesions included cortical focus (22 times), subcortical white matter (7 times), brainstem (9 times). All patients were sensitive to first-line immunotherapy. Eight patients had recurrence during glucocorticoid reduction, 6 of them were treated with additional second-line immunosuppressive therapy, including cyclophosphamide (1 case) and mycophenolate mofetil (5 cases). The follow-up time of patients were 5-99 months. At the last follow-up, all patients were in remission, the pediatric cerebral performance category (PCPC) score was 1 (10 cases) and 2 (1 cases).Conclusions:MNOS mainly affects older children. In the period of acute episodes, convulsions and psychosis are common. The cranial MRI showed extensive brain involvement and mainly in the cortex. The recurrence rates of MNOS are relatively high, patients are sensitive to first-line immunotherapy. No significant neurological dysfunction was left in the remission stage.

Objective To compare the efficacy of CO2 laser and conventional laryngeal microsurgery in the treatment of benign lesions of vocal cord (polyp of vocal cord) and precancerous lesions (leukoplakia of vocal cord) of patients. Methods A total of 60 patients with vocal cord polyps were selected, and randomly divided into two groups, each with 30 patients. Thirty patients with vocal cord leukoplakia were selected and randomly divided into two groups, each with 15 patients. One group was performed by cold instruments for lesion resection (conventional group), the other by CO2 laser for removal of diseased tissue or mucosal ablative surgery (laser group). Two groups of patients were examined by laryngostroboscope, electronic laryngoscopy, GRABS, VHI subjective ratings and objective voice analysis before operation and one week, one month and three months after operation. ResuIts The outcomes of those with vocal cord polyps in early recovery (1 week) laser group were slightly worse than the conventional group. In later recovery (1~3 months), with electronic laryngoscopy inspection, laryngostroboscope mucosal wave observation, the analysis of subjective and objective data from the two groups showed no significantly differences. For patients with vocal cord leukoplakia in early recovery (1 week), laser group slightly worse than the conventional group, in later recovery (1~3 months), there were no obvious difference between the two groups in electronic laryngoscopy inspection, laryngostroboscope mucosal wave observation, the analysis of subjective and ob_jective data. Follow -up operations, the recurrence rates in laser group was significantly lower than conventional group. ConcIusion The treatment by CO2 laser can significantly improve their pronunciation quality for vocal cord polyps and vocal cord leukoplakia patients, it has a good therapeutic effect, especially the long-term effective of vo_cal cord leukoplakia is better than conventional operation.

Objective To elucidate the CT characteristics and pathology of acute miliary pulmonary tuberculosis (AMPT). Methods The CT features of AMPT in 25 cases were analyzed retrospectively, and the CT features in HIV-seronegative and HIV-seropositive patients were compared by 2-sided exact propability Chi-square test. Two lung specimens were inflated and fixed by Heitzman's method. HRCT scans, gross specimen section (80-150 μm) and histologic section (5 μm) were performed on dry lung specimens and CT-pathologic correlation was conducted. The distribution of micronodules in the secondary lobule on HRCT and pathology in one specimen was evaluated by Chi-square test. Results Twenty five patients with AMPT were included in this study, including 11 HIV-seropositive patients and 14 HIV-seronegative patients. HRCT showed diffuse micronodules randomly distributed throughout both lungs in 25 patients, and ground-glass opacity (17 patients)was the predominant complicated finding. Coalescence of nodules and consolidation in HIV-seropositive patients (5 and 6 patients) were markedly higher than that in HIV-seronegative patients (none). In lung specimens, most nodules located in the lung parenchyma between the central bronchovascular bundle and the perilobular structures (792 and 560 nodules), which located in the interlobular septum pathologically. The distribution of micronodules in the secondary lobule showed on HRCT (1060 nodules)and pathology(864 nodules) was not significantly difference(x2=2.814,P>0.05). HRCT showed ground-glass opacities when ARDS occured, which were pulmonary edema,inflammation and hyaline membrane on alveolar wall pathologically. Conclusions The HRCT characteristic of nodule distribution in AMPT is random. ARDS should be suspected when diffuse ground-glass opacities appear on HRCT.
