OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical and genetic features of a child with Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2B (PCH2B) due to compound heterozygous variants of the TSEN2 gene.
METHODS:
A PCH2B patient presented at Department of Pediatric Neurology, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in June 2023 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient were retrospectively analyzed. The patient and her parents were subjected to whole exome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Pathogenicity of the candidate variants were classified based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). A literature review was also conducted by searching the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and PubMed databases from their establishment to May 2025 using keywords "TSEN2 gene" "PCH2B" and "Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia 2B" to summarize the clinical and genotypic features of patients with PCH2B due to variants of the TSEN2 gene. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (No.: #202310892).
RESULTS:
The patient, a 6-year-5-month-old girl, had exhibited severe global developmental delay, developmental regression, autism spectrum disorder, myoclonus of eyelids, feeding difficulty, irritability, progressive microcephaly, esotropia, and hypotonia. MRI showed reduced volume of bilateral cerebellar hemispheres and vermis. Genetic testing revealed that she has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the TSEN2 gene (NM_025265.4), namely c.1054A>T (p.Lys352*) and c.899G>T (p.Ser300Ile), which were inherited from her father and mother, respectively. Both variants were classified as likely pathogenic based on the ACMG guidelines and were previously unreported. Literature review has identified six PCH2B patients with missense, nonsense, frameshift, and splice site variants of the TSEN2 gene. Their main clinical manifestations included global developmental delay, progressive microcephaly, feeding difficulties, irritability, and vermis hypoplasia. Cranial MRI and genetic testing are crucial for definite diagnosis.
CONCLUSION
The c.1054A>T (p.Lys352*) and c.899G>T (p.Ser300Ile) compound heterozygous variants of the TSEN2 gene probably underlay the pathogenesis in this patient. Above findings has expanded the genotypic and phenotypic spectra of TSEN2-related PCH2B, and offered guidance for genetic counseling for this family.

Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability among adults in China, and its common complications include digestive system abnormalities, cognitive impairment, depression, stroke-associated pneumonia, and hemiplegia. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has great potential in treating post-stroke complications. Xinglou Chengqitang (XLCQT) is a representative prescription of alleviating the disease in the upper part by treating the lower part. It has definite therapeutic effect and high safety. Clinically, XLCQT is often used to treat stroke and its complications. However, the quantity and quality of clinical trials of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications need to be improved. Additionally, since the basic research is weak, the material basis and multi-target mechanism for the efficacy of this prescription are unknown. This article reviews XLCQT in terms of the pharmacodynamic basis, medicinal properties, safety evaluation, and progress in clinical research and mechanisms in treating post-stroke complications. This article summarizes 22 key active ingredients of XLCQT in treating acute stroke complicated with syndrome of phlegm heat and fu-organ excess. Among these key active ingredients, resveratrol, kaempferol, luteolin, chrysoeriol, apigenin, (+)-catechin, and adenosine have good pharmacokinetic properties and high bioavailability. The mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications are complex, including inflammatory response, brain-gut axis, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, intestinal flora, neurotrophic factors, autophagy, oxidative stress, and free radical damage. This review helps to deeply understand the pharmacodynamic basis and mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of XLCQT against post-stroke complications and the development of drugs.

Objective:
To explore the correlation and lag effects of environmental factors on pediatric respiratory disease visits at hospital, so as to provide scientific basis for disease prediction and optimizing clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
Data from 503 889 pediatric respiratory disease outpatient and emergency visits a central hospital in Minhang District of Shanghai between 2017 and 2019, along with concurrent meteorological data were collected. A distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) was constructed to explore the specific relationship between pediatric respiratory disease consultations and various environmental factors and to quantify the cumulative lag effects of environmental factors on respiratory disease consultations.
Results:
Among the environmental factors, temperature, fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), inhalable particulate matter (PM 10 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2) were associated with pediatric respiratory disease visits. After adjusting for temperature, PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations did not show significant immediate or lag effects. The relative risk (RR) of pediatric respiratory disease visits increased with rising NO 2 concentrations. When NO 2 concentration ≥55 μg/m 3, significant immediate and lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.05, 1.13, 1.17, and 1.21( P <0.05). The RR values showed an inverted “U” shaped relationship with SO 2 concentrations. When SO 2 concentration ≥5 μg/m 3, significant lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.03 , 1.03, and 1.04 ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
High concentrations of NO 2 and SO 2 increase the risk of pediatric respiratory disease visits, with observable lag effects.

Objective:To explore the genetic characteristics of a Chinese pedigree with rare mosaic 11q partial duplication and its pathogenetic mechanisms.Methods:A pedigree which underwent prenatal diagnosis at Wenzhou Central Hospital between September 25, 2015 and November 30, 2023 was selected for the study. Clinical data were collected from the pedigree. Peripheral blood samples from the parents, amniotic fluid from the fetus, and peripheral blood sample from the neonate were obtained. Genetic testing was carried out by using G-banded chromosomal karyotyping and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) technology. Relevant literature was searched in the CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and PubMed databases to summarize the clinical phenotypes of patients with 11q partial duplication. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Wenzhou Central Hospital (Ethics No. L2024-07-080).Results:The pregnant woman (G 3) had a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes. During her first pregnancy (G 1), prenatal ultrasound indicated intrauterine growth restriction and a Dandy-Walker variant. Follow-up at 8 years of age showed developmental delays and mild intellectual disability. During her second pregnancy (G 2), prenatal ultrasound revealed nasal bone hypoplasia, and the pregnancy was terminated at 23rd gestational week. During her third pregnancy (G 3), all prenatal tests were normal, and the neonate showed normal growth and development at 4 months of age. The karyotype of amniotic fluid of her first pregnancy was 46, X? , and the SNP-array analysis of neonatal peripheral blood showed arr[GRCh37/hg19]11q13.4q25(70432450_134607121)×2~3, with a mosaicism rate being approximately 40%. The karyotype for her second pregnancy was 46, X? , rec(11)dup(11q)inv(11)(p15q13)dmat[6]/46, X? [27], and the SNP-array result was arr[GRCh38]11q13.4q25(71406636_135067522)×2~3, with a mosaicism rate being approximately 75%. The karyotype for her third pregnancy was 46, X? , inv(11)(p15q13)mat, and the SNP-array result was arr(XN)×1, (1~22)×2. The karyotype of the woman was 46, XX, inv(11)(p15q13), and that of her husband was 46, XY. A review of 12 similar cases (including G 1) from the literature revealed that the common clinical phenotypes of 11q partial duplication included intellectual disability (12/12), developmental delay (12/12), ear abnormalities (12/12), microcephaly (10/12), seizures (8/12), hypotonia (8/12), and congenital heart malformations (7/12). Conclusion:Mosaic partial duplication of 11q may underlie the genetic etiology of this pedigree. The pregnant woman is a carrier of an inversion on chromosome 11, which might have formed the mosaic 11q partial duplication through meiotic errors and mitotic trisomy rescue mechanisms during reproduction.
