Intra-abdominal Hernia with Bowel Obstruction Triggering Multi-organ Failure: The Role of Preoperative Enteritis This report details the clinical course of a 41-year-old male who developed fulminant multiple organ dysfunction syndrome following emergency surgery for a strangulated intra-abdominal hernia. Preoperative manifestations, including diarrhea and marked leukocytosis, pointed towards an underlying infectious enteritis. We posited that surgical release of the obstructed, ischemic bowel segment precipitated a massive systemic influx of endotoxins and inflammatory mediators, triggering septic shock and rapid sequential organ failure. This case underscored the critical need to suspect concomitant gastrointestinal infection in patients presenting with mechanical bowel obstruction accompanied by infectious signs. Aggressive perioperative sepsis management encompassing early empiric antimicrobial therapy, vigilant hemodynamic monitoring, and preparedness for advanced organ support is essential to mitigate this severe complication.

Objectives:To analyze factors associated with physical fitness and health in children and adolescents from the perspective of cohort and urban-rural differences in order to provide evidence for optimizing health intervention policies.Methods:Using data from the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)from 2012 to 2020,this study examined trends in the health of children and adolescents in terms of height and weight.A hierarchical mixed-effects model was used to examine the impact of socioeconomic factors such as household income,health insurance and regional public health expenditure on physical fitness and health.Interaction models were also used to assess heterogeneous effects across birth cohorts and urban-rural contexts.Results:The physical fitness and health of children and adolescents in China have improved significantly,but urban-rural disparities persist.Household income,parental education and health insurance have protective effects on health,but the strength of these effects varies by cohort and between urban and rural areas.Height and weight outcomes for rural children were more closely associated with economic development and health insurance coverage.Conclusions:The factors associated with physical fitness and health in children and adolescents are dynamic.It is necessary to establish a tiered and targeted health promotion system,strengthening health insurance coverage and interventions in rural areas,while prioritizing family-based healthy lifestyle counselling in urban areas.

Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage organ failure, but postoperative infections and rejection reactions are key factors affecting the survival of the patients. Recently, the incidence of human parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection following transplantation has increased. B19V is a non-enveloped virus that primarily infects the upper respiratory tract and exhibits significant tropism for erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow, leading to the lysis of erythrocytes and hematological abnormalities. After B19V viremia, it may further infect other cells, triggering inflammatory responses and tissue damage. B19V infection may lead to chronic anemia in organ transplant patients, thereby affecting the success of the transplant and the survival of the patients. Therefore, it is essential to diagnose and monitor B19V infection post-transplantation. Due to the immunosuppressive therapy following transplantation, traditional serological detection methods, such as IgM and IgG antibody tests, are often unreliable. In contrast, molecular biological detection, especially real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR technology, provides more accurate results. However, the diversity of B19V genotypes may lead to the missed detection of some genotypes. Thus, it is necessary to use different detection techniques to improve the diagnostic accuracy of B19 virus infections. Additionally, there is a need to explore more precise diagnostic methods to enhance the early identification and management of B19V infection, further improving the survival and life quality of the patients.

AIM To investigate the inhibitory effect of gallic acid on HCC1806 triple-negative breast cancer xenograft growth in nude mice.METHODS The nude mouse models of HCC1806 triple-negative breast cancer xenograft growth were established and randomly divided into the model group,the gallic acid group(200 mg/kg)and the adriamycin group(5 mg/kg),with 6 mice in each group.After 21 days of respective drug administration,the nude mice were killed and had their xenografts procured and measured.The nude mice had their serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α detected by ELISA;their morphological changes of xenografts observed with HE staining;their protein expressions of p53,PCNA and Ki67 in xenograft detected by immunohistochemistry;their mRNA expressions of PCNA,Ki67,Bcl-2,Bax,Caspase-3,PI3K,Akt,JNK and p38 detected by RT-qPCR;and their protein expressions of Bcl-2,Bax,Caspase-3,cleaved-Caspase-3,PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,p-Akt,JNK,p-JNK,p38 MAPK and p-p38 MAPK in xenografts detected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the model group,the groups intervened with either gallic acid or adriamycin shared decreased tumor weight(P＜0.05);increased serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);condensed or irregular nuclei of xenograft,and increased number of cell necrosis;increased protein expressions of p53 and Bax and the ratios of cleaved-Caspase-3/Caspase-3,p-JNK/JNK and p-p38/p38 in xenograft(P＜0.01);decreased protein expressions of PCNA,Ki67 and Bcl-2 and the ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt(P＜0.01);decreased mRNA expressions of PCNA,Ki67,Bcl-2,PI3K and Akt(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and increased mRNA expressions of Caspase-3,Bax,JNK and p38(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Gallic acid can inhibit HCC1806 triple-negative breast cancer xenograft growth in nude mice,and the underlying mechanism may involve suppression of pro-cell proliferation proteins,activation of pro-apoptotic proteins,and modulation of the PI3K/Akt and JNK/p38 signaling pathways.

Objective To study the in vitro expression of three phenylalanine hydroxylase(PAH)mutants(p.R243Q,p.R241C,and p.Y356X)and determine their pathogenicity.Methods Bioinformatics techniques were used to predict the impact of PAH mutants on the structure and function of PAH protein.Corresponding mutant plasmids of PAH were constructed and expressed in HEK293T cells.Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of the three PAH mutants,and their protein levels were assessed using Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Bioinformatics analysis predicted that all three mutants were pathogenic.The mRNA expression levels of the p.R243Q and p.R241C mutants in HEK293T cells were similar to the mRNA expression level of the wild-type control(P>0.05),while the mRNA expression level of the p.Y356X mutant significantly decreased(P<0.05).The PAH protein expression levels of all three mutants were significantly reduced compared to the wild-type control(P<0.05).The extracellular concentration of PAH protein was reduced in the p.R241C and p.Y356X mutants compared to the wild-type control(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference between the p.R243Q mutant and the wild type control(P>0.05).Conclusions p.R243Q,p.R241C and p.Y356X mutants lead to reduced expression levels of PAH protein in eukaryotic cells,with p.R241C and p.Y356X mutants also affecting the function of PAH protein.These three PAH mutants are to be pathogenic.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(2):188-193]
