To perform the phylogenetic characterization of an isolated porcine rotavirus(PoRV)and investigate its pathogenicity in suckling mice and piglets.A G4P[23]genotype PoRV strain JSJR2023 was successfully isolated from the diarrheic piglet feces through propagation in MA104 cells.The viral proliferation kinetics were analyzed using TCID50 assays,followed by complete genome sequencing through Sanger sequencing platforms.Comprehensive genotyping and phylogenetic reconstruction were conducted using MEGA7.0 with maximum likelihood algorithms.Pathogenicity was assessed in the following animal models:5-day-old C57BL/6 mice and 3-day-old piglets.Multidimensional evaluation included clinical monitoring(diarrhea scoring,growth parameters),virological detection,and histopathological analysis of intestinal tissues.The virus strain JSJR2023 could replicate efficiently in MA104 cells,achieving peak titers of 107.5 TCID50/mL.Whole genome genotype analysis showed that the strain belonged to G4-P[23]-I5-R1-C1-M1-A8-N1-T1-E1-H1.Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the VP3 and NSP4 genes of JSJR2023 strain were most closedrelated to human species rotaviruses,suggesting genetic reassortment between human and porcine RV strains.The animal experiments in suckling mice showed that the JSJR2023 strain infection caused diarrhea symptoms,intestinal edema and congestion,and shedding of intestinal villus epithelial cells.The pathogenicity experiments in piglets showed that compared with the control group,the challenged group of pig-lets had severe diarrhea symptoms,accompanied by reduced appetite and listlessness.Post-mortem examination revealed that the intes-tines were significantly thinner,congested,and filled with yellow watery contents.The challenged piglets showed typical pathological changes such as thinning of the intestinal wall and shortening and shedding of intestinal villi.In conclusion,this study successfully iso-lated a human-porcine recombinant G4P[23]PoRV strain and established the infection models in suckling mice and piglets,providing important tools for investigating the pathogenic mechanism of PoRV,evaluating vaccines and developing antiviral drug.

Drug-induced neurological disorders (DINDs) refer to the central or peripheral nervous system disease caused by drugs. DINDs account for a large proportion of adverse drug reactions/events in China, and its onset is complex to some extent. Common DINDs include epilepsy, movement disorders, stroke, peripheral neuropathy, spinal cord injury, cognitive impairment and so on. Usually, DINDs have characters of gradual development and late-onset reactions, and it is difficult to associate their clinical manifestations with drugs, leading to misdiagnosis and poor prognosis in clinic. To reduce the neurotoxicity of drugs, multidisciplinary cooperation should be strengthened, and individualized treatment plans for high-risk people and closer monitoring should be implemented for timely identification and diagnose. At the same time, relevant researches on DINDs should be strengthened in the clinic to cope with the complexity and long-term prognosis challenges of the diseases.

Objective:To analyze regional differences in MMACHC gene variations among patients with cblC-type methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) in China and to explore the relationship between these variations and neonatal screening, biochemical markers and prognosis.Methods:Retrospective case summary. Clinical and laboratory data, including general condition, biochemical markers and genetic analysis, were collected from 1 859 cblC MMA patients from 2005 to 2023. Patients were divided into 7 groups according to their regions: north China, northeast China, east China, central China, south China, southwest China and northwest China. They were also classified into neonatal screening and non-neonatal screening groups. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare biochemical marker levels. In contrast, the Chi-square test was applied to compare MMACHC gene variant frequencies, neonatal screening proportion, onset age and prognosis between groups. Results:Among 1 859 cases of cblC MMA, 1 019 were male and 840 were female, with a consultation age of 1.0 (0.1, 5.0) month. A total of 1 787 cases carried compound heterozygous or homozygous variants and only 1 variant site was identified in 72 cases. The 10 most frequent variants were c.609G>A (1 238 cases), c.658_660delAAG (343 cases), c.80A>G (284 cases), c.482G>A (239 cases), c.567dupT (191 cases), c.656_658delAGA (131 cases), c.217C>T (109 cases), c.394C>T (105 cases), c.445_446delTG (51 cases) and c.1A>G (50 cases). The frequency of the c.609G>A was the lowest in northwest China (28.8% (44/154), χ2=-18.42, P<0.05). The frequency of the c.567dupT was the most common in southwest China (25.0% (20/80), χ2=71.70, P<0.001) and c.656_658delAGA had the highest frequency in northeast China (9.3% (19/205), χ2=32.08, P<0.001). Non-missense variants (91.2% (62/68), 88.5% (46/52)) and early-onset patients (90.0% (36/40), 94.4% (34/36)) were both more prevalent in southwest and south China ( χ2=14.95, 31.69, both P<0.05). The proportion of neonatal screening was the lowest in south China (22.2% (8/36), χ2=98.48, P<0.05), where the mortality rate was the highest (19.1% (4/21), χ2=38.98, P<0.001). East China exhibited the highest frequency of missense variants (21.5% (339/1 579)), the highest proportion of patients identified through neonatal screening (54.5% (465/853)), and a more significant proportion of patients with good prognosis (36.6% (227/621), χ2=14.57, 93.49, 38.98, all P<0.05). In addition, the c.482G>A variant was more frequent in patients diagnosed by neonatal screening compared to those diagnosed by other methods (8.3% (132/1 586) vs. 5.9% (122/2 060), χ2=7.97, P<0.05). Conclusions:The frequency of MMACHC gene variation varies across different regions. The c.609G>A was least frequent in northwest China, c.567dupT was most common in southwest China, and c.656_658delAGA was most prevalent in northeast China. South China had the lowest neonatal screening rate and the highest mortality. At the same time, east China exhibited the highest frequency of missense variants, the highest proportion of patients identified through neonatal screening and the best prognosis. The c.482G>A variant was more frequent in patients diagnosed by neonatal screening compared to those diagnosed by other methods.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the long-term efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS), which has rarely been reported in China. METHODS: A 18-month-old boy and a 23-month-old girl undergoing alloHSCT for MPS VI and MPS IH Shanghai Children's Medical Center on March 30, 2006 and September 6, 2006 were selected as the study subjects. A busulfan-based myeloablative regimen was used as the conditioning regimen. Peripheral stem cells were respectively collected from a human leucocyte antigen (HLA) matched sibling carrier donor and a HLA 9/10 matched unrelated donor. Both patients were followed up for more than 15 years. The functions of internal organs before and after the transplantation were compared, and child 1 was also compared with his untreated brother and healthy brother. RESULTS: Both children have achieved full donor chimerism after the transplantation, and their enzymatic activities have remained stable. The enzymatic activity of the child 1 was slightly lower than normal but similar to that of his carrier donor, whilst that of the child 2 was normal. Both children have attended schools with good academic performance. Compared with his untreated brother, the respiratory function and hearing of child 1 have significantly improved. However, his orthopedic and cardiac disorders have still remained and required medical intervention. For child 2, her obstructive pulmonary disease was resolved and cognitive development was well preserved after the HSCT. Her heart disease has become stabilized and even improved with time, though her corneal clouding and skeletal malformation still required surgery. CONCLUSION MPS patients can sustain long-term and stable enzymatic activities after successful alloHSCT. Compared with untreated patients, their health can be significantly improved, along with considerably prolonged survival, though the long-term efficacy of HSCT for different organs may vary to a certain extent.

Objective To explore the clinical feature,genetic variant and clinical outcome of patients with cblA-type methylmalonic acidemia (MMA).Methods Clinical manifestations,therapeutic schedule and prognosis of 12 patients with cblA-type MMA were analyzed.MMAA gene variants were analyzed for all patients and their parents.Results Vomiting,dyspnea and drowsiness were the major clinical features of cblA-type MMA.Eleven patients were vitamin B12-responsive.After treatment,the blood level of propionylcarnitine,ratio of propionylcarnitine/acetylcarnitine,urine level of methylmalonic acid and methylcitric acid have decreased significantly (P＜0.05).Follow-up study showed that 8 patients (66.7％)had normal development,while the rest (33.3％) remained to have various level of mental or movement delay.Fourteen MMAA gene variants were detected,with c.365T＞C (p.L122P) being the most common (29.2％).Six novel variants,including c.54delA (p.A19Hfs * 43),c.275G＞A (p.G92V),c.456delT (p.G153Vfs* 8),c.667dupA (p.T223Nfs* 4),c.1114C＞T (p.Q372X) and c.1137_1138delCA (p.F379Lfs * 27) were found.Conclusion The main clinical manifestations of patients with cblA-type of MMA include vomiting,dyspnea and drowsiness.Most patients are vitamin B12-responsive.c.365T＞C is a potential hot spot variant of MMAA gene in China.

Objective: To investigate the effect of pseudodeficiency alleles on the newborn screening of glycogen storage disease type Ⅱ(GSDⅡ) by using afluorometric enzymatic assay to determine acid α-glucosidase (GAA) activity in dried blood spot (DBS). Methods: A total of 30 507 newborns′ DBSs, obtained from Newborn Screening Center of Xinhua Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from May to December 2017, were screened for GSD Ⅱ by fluorometric enzymatic assay of GAA activity. The suspected positive DBSs after the first and second screening were directly analyzed by Sanger sequencing of GAA to confirm the diagnosis. Retrospective analysis of 3 172 controls without GSDⅡand 36 GSD Ⅱ patients were conducted to investigate the carrier status of pseudodeficiency alleles. Statistical analysis of frequency of pseudodeficiency alleles were carried out by Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability test. Results: GAA activity of 30 507 newborns showed a positively skewed distribution.Twenty-nine cases of newborns, suspected to be GSDⅡwere confirmed to be normal with genetic analysis of the original DBSs. Among the 29 suspected positive cases, 24 cases were homozygous for pseudodeficiency alleles c.[1726A/A; 2065A/A], and the other 5 cases were c.[1726G/A; 2065G/A] heterozygote. The frequency of c.1726G>Ahomozygote in 3 172 non-GSD Ⅱcontrols was 2.08% (66/3 172), and c.1726G>A homozygote occurred in allelic conjunction with c.2065G>Ahomozygote. Frequency of c.[1726A; 2065A] haplotype in 3 172 controls was 3.2%(206/6 344). Frequency of c.[1726A/A; 2065A/A] homozygote in 36 GSDⅡpatients (16.67%, 6/36) was significantly higher than that in non-GSD Ⅱcontrols(2.08%, 66/3 172) (χ²=34.517, P<0.001). Conclusions Pseudodeficiency alleles show a high frequency in Chinese, which leads to a high false positive rate in the newborns screening of GSDⅡ.The afterword genetic analysis of the original DBS after the GAA activity screening could reduce the effect of pseudodeficiency alleles on the newborns screening of GSDⅡ.
