OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist anakinra in the treatment of refractory adult onset Still’s disease (AOSD), and provide more real-world evidence and practical experience for the treatment of AOSD with this drug. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with AOSD complicated with dermatomyositis who received anakinra; systematically searched for relevant literature on the treatment of AOSD with anakinra in Chinese and English databases such as CNKI, PubMed, Medline, etc., and conduct literature review on its efficacy and safety. RESULTS The patient in this case had poor treatment with multiple traditional drugs and was considered to have AOSD combined with dermatomyositis. After being admitted to the hospital and treated with a combination therapy of anakinra and glucocorticoids for several days, the patient’s clinical symptoms and inflammatory indicators significantly improved, and no serious adverse drug reactions occurred. Pharmacists designed specialized pharmaceutical monitoring pathways and conduct regular follow-up after discharge. After discharge, the patient took medication regularly, and the condition was maintained and relieved; during this period, there was redness and swelling at the injection site which resolved on its own without any other obvious discomfort. Literature review showed that anakinra could increase the response rate and remission rate of AOSD patients, and significantly reduce the dosage of glucocorticoids; adverse events were mainly injection site reactions, with a low overall risk of infection and good safety; however, there was a significant difference in the treatment course, and there was currently no unified plan. CONCLUSIONS Anakinra is an efficient and safe biological agent for treating AOSD, which can rapidly induce and maintain disease remission. For AOSD patients, clinical consideration may be given to using IL-1 antagonists to reduce glucocorticoid dependence, while strengthening long-term medication monitoring.

Objective:To study the survival and prognostic factors for the recurrent extracranial malignant germ cell tumors (MGCTs) in children, and to explore feasible salvage treatment.Methods:A retrospective study.Pediatric patients with recurrent extracranial MGCTs diagnosed in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center between January 2010 and January 2020 were retrospectively recruited.Comprehensive treatment regimens included surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression model were employed to analyze the survival and prognostic factors for children with recurrent extracranial MGCTs.Results:A total of 172 children with extracranial MGCTs were treated, including 21 (12.2%) recurrent cases.The median time of MGCT recurrence after the end of the first treatment was 11 months.Finally, 19 patients were recruited after excluding 2 non-eligible cases, including 10 boys and 9 girls with the age at recurrence of 26 (8-170) months.The follow-up time was 57 (13-122) months.Salvage chemotherapy, complete resection and radiotherapy were performed in 16, 14 and 4 patients, respectively.The 4-year overall survival (4yr-OS) rate was (82.5±9.2)%(19 cases). The 4yr-OS rate was significantly higher in patients managed with surgery but without adjuvant chemotherapy at the initial treatment (13 cases) than those managed with chemotherapy at the initial treatment (6 cases)[(92.3±7.4)% vs.(60.0%±21.9)%, P=0.002]. Univariant and Cox multivariant regression analyses showed that failure to achieve the normal range of alpha fetoprotein after 3 cycles of chemotherapy significantly influenced the survival of recurrent extracranial MGCTs. Conclusions:For patients with recurrent extracranial MGCTs, comprehensive treatment approaches like complete surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy offer a favorable survival rate.Specifically, recurrent and re-treated patients who initially received surgery alone without adjuvant chemotherapy have a higher survival rate compared to those who received chemotherapy during the initial treatment.

Objective:To explore the value of cardiac MRI (CMRI) in evaluating left atrial function in patients with postoperative tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) and postoperative pulmonary stenosis (rPS).Methods:Totally 67 pediatric patients (49 with rTOF, 18 with rPS) with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) were recruited between January 2019 and October 2021 in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Thirty-three healthy volunteers, matched in gender and age, were included as controls from July 2017 to August 2018. Left atrial EF, strain and strain rate of three phases (reservoir, conduit and pump), left atrial volume (maximum volume index, minimum volume index and pre-atrial contraction volume index) were measured with corresponding cardiac function analysis software. Then, the differences in these parameters were analyzed between the three groups by ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc comparison and Bonferroni correction.Results:Compared with controls, patients with rTOF had lower reservoir function parameters (EF, strain and strain rate), conduit EF, conduit strain, and left atrial maximum volume index ( P<0.05), but higher pump EF ( P<0.05). In patients with rPS, only the reservoir strain rate decreased compared with controls ( P<0.05), and the remaining data showed no significant difference ( P>0.05). The reservoir and conduit EF and strain in patients with rPS were higher than those in patients with rTOF ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In patients with rTOF and rPS, left atrial function has changed despite the preservation of left ventricular EF, which may be an early marker of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. In children with rTOF, left atrial reservoir and conduit functions decreased while the pump function increased. The reservoir and pump functions in rPS were better than those in rTOF. In addition, CMRI can detect left atrial dysfunction early before it enlarged.

Objective:To analyze the incidence of malignant tumors and its risk factors in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.Methods:Clinical data of 627 hemodialysis patients in Huadu District People′s Hospital of Guangzhou who met the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria from January 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected. Clinical characteristic of patients with malignant tumors was summarized. Multivariate logistics regression analysis was performed to explore the related factors of malignant tumors.Results:Among the 627 patients, 19(3.03%) developed malignant tumors. There were 14 males and 5 females with a mean age of (65.7±13.7)years. Their mean dialysis duration was (45.16±38.18)months. Gastrointestinal tumor was the most common tumor type (9/19). Univariate analysis showed that the age of the patients combined with malignant tumors was significantly higher, and the serum prealbumin was significantly lower than those patients without malignant tumors (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age was the independent risk factor of developing cancers after adjusting dialysis age, hemoglobin, albumin and parathyroid hormone ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of malignant tumor is significantly higher in maintenance hemodialysis patients than that in the general population. Age is the risk independent risk factor. Therefore, we should strengthen the monitoring of elderly hemodialysis patients, discover the disease in time, and take measures to improve the prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the value of whole-heart and volume-targeted balanced steady-state free precession(bSSFP) in the evaluation of coronary artery in children.Methods:Children with congenital heart disease and Kawasaki disease who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were retrospectively collected from January 2014 to December 2015, 197 cases(male: female 124∶73) were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria in this study. There were 189 cases of congenital heart disease and 8 Kawasaki disease, in which 23 cases had abnormal coronal arteries. Image quality of the coronary artery segments, the coronary artery origin and course, and coronary artery dimension in dual phase 3D bSSFP were analyzed. Chi-square test was used to evaluation the degree of accuracy and difference of coronal artery segments. T test was used to compare the diameter of left with right coronal artery in end systolic phase and mid to end diastolic phase.Results:Image quality was better in systolic phase than diastolic phase(3.9±0.5 and 3.5±0.7 respectively, P<0.001) for all cases. Combining the dual phases, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of dual phase 3D whole heart imaging in evaluating the coronal artery origin, course and shape was 100%. However, there was a little difference in revealing left anterior descending coronary artery, left circumflex artery and right coronary artery. There was significant difference in the clearly revealing the left anterior descending coronary artery and left circumflex artery( P<0.001). The left and right coronary artery dimension was larger in systolic phase than in mid-diastolic phase(left coronary artery 3.1±1.3 mm and 2.8±1.3 mm, respectively, right coronary artery(2.5±0.9) and(2.3±0.7)mm, respectively, P<0.001). Conclusion:Cardiac MR 3D bSSFP can retrospectively select coronary resting periods for optimal images, providing a more reliable imaging modality for the assessment of coronary arteries in children to make better clinical decision.
