Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized inhalation of recombinant human interferon (IFN) α1b injection in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in children.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled add-on design was used.Children with pneumonia or bronchiolitis aged 2 months to 5 years who tested positive for RSV antigen within 72 hours of onset from 30 clinical trial sites including Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University between February 2021 and December 2022 were included in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups at a ratio of 1∶1 based on a stratified-block method.Both groups received basic treatments such as cough control, asthma relieving, expectorant treatment, fever reduction, oxygen therapy, etc.The experimental group received additional nebulized inhalation of IFN α1b injection at a dose of 2.0 μg/(kg·time), twice a day.The control group received nebulized inhalation of placebo twice a day.Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on indicators such as the duration of clinical symptoms and signs, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the median and 95% CI of the duration of clinical symptoms and signs.The Log-rank test was used to compared data between groups.Safety was assessed through the incidence of adverse reactions and laboratory tests, and the Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results:There were 123 children in the experimental group and 122 children in the control group.The median durations of all the 5 clinical symptoms and signs [including shortness of breath, wheezing, dyspnea (visible retractions), decreased transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and abnormal mental state] in the experimental group after treatment were slightly shortened than those in the control group [2.7 d(95% CI: 1.9-3.0 d)] vs.[2.9 d(95% CI: 2.6-3.6 d), P=0.027].The improvement in dyspnea (retractions) was especially pronounced in the experimental group, with a relief rate of 50.0% (0, 100%) on the first day of administration[compared with 0 (0, 50.0%) in the control group ( Z=2.002, P=0.025)].The median duration of dyspnea in the experimental group was nearly 1 day shorter than that in the control group [1.0 d(95% CI: 0.7-1.7 d) vs.1.8 d(95% CI: 1.0-2.5 d), P=0.046].There were no significant difference in hospital stay [6.0(5.0, 8.0) d vs.6.5(5.0, 8.0) d, Z=0.675, P=0.500], oxygen therapy duration [32.0(14.0, 96.3) h vs.39.0 (24.0, 83.2) h, Z=0.094, P=0.925], the recovery rate from clinical symptoms during treatment [(105/106, 99.1%) vs.(96/101, 95.0%)], and recurrence rate [(0/106, 0) vs.(2/101, 2.0%)] between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).However, the above-mentioned four indicators in the experimental group showed a trend of clinical benefits.The quantitative virus detection results showed that the RSV viral load in both groups decreased after treatment compared to before treatment.After 2 days of treatment, the decline rate of RSV viral load from the baseline was 0.90 lg copies/(mL·d) in the experimental group and 0.25 lg copies/(mL·d)in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups ( P>0.05).Importantly, no drug-related serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusions:The nebulized inhalation therapy of IFN α1b demonstrates efficacy and safety in treating pediatric RSV associated lower respiratory tract infections.It particularly offers outstanding clinical therapeutic value for severe children.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression levels of lymphocyte activation gene-3(LAG-3)and pen-traxin-3(PTX3)and the disease severity of the patients with allergic rhinitis(AR).Methods A total of 128 AR patients visited the Department of Otolaryngology,Chengdu Integrated TCM and Western Medicine Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were retro-spectively selected as the research subjects(AR group).According to the severity of the condition,the patients were further divided into the mild group(n=40),moderate group(n=42),and severe group(n=46).In addition,80 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations in our hospital were selected as the control group.The clinical data such as the gender,age,body mass index(BMI),allergens,and disease onset time of all subjects were recorded and analyzed,and all patients were scored using the Score For Allergic Rhinitis(SFAR).The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the expression levels of serum LAG-3 and PTX3 in all subjects.The correlation between the expression levels of serum LAG-3 and PTX3 was analyzed by the Pearson correla-tion analysis.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum LAG-3 and PTX3 levels,both individually and in combination,for AR.Results The expression levels of serum LAG-3 in the AR group(468.74±104.32 μg/L)were significantly lower than that in the control group(691.53±184.65 μg/L,t=7.795,P<0.05),while those of ser-um PTX3 in the AR group(24.83±7.54 ng/L)were significantly higher than that in the control group(17.34±5.37 ng/L,t=7.793,P<0.05).The expression levels of serum LAG-3 in the AR patients with positive immunoglobulin(IgE)and SFAR score≥7 were 442.46±92.37 μg/L and 448.27±103.24 μg/L,respectively,which were significantly lower than that in the AR patients with negative IgE(497.61±115.32 μg/L)and SFAR score<7(498.66±112.76 μg/L,P<0.05).While the expression levels of serum PTX3 in the AR patients with positive IgE and SFAR score≥7 were 28.24±8.17 ng/L and 26.43±8.73 ng/L,respectively,which were significantly higher than that in the AR patients with negative IgE(21.08±6.25 ng/L)and SFAR score<7(22.51±6.89 ng/L,P<0.05).Com-pared with the mild group,the expression levels of serum LAG-3 in both the moderate and severe groups were reduced,and that of ser-um LAG-3 in the severe group was significantly lower than that in the moderate group.While the expression levels of serum PTX3 showed an opposite trend,and the levels of serum PTX3 in the severe group were significantly higher than that in the moderate group(P<0.05).The Pearson correlation results showed a significant negative correlation between serum LAG-3 and PTX3 levels in AR pa-tients(r=-0.402,P=0.000).The analysis of the ROC curve showed that the area under the ROC curve(AUCROC),sensitivity,and specificity of the combination of serum LAG-3 and PTX3 in the diagnosis of AR were 0.881,89.80％,and 73.80％,respectively,which were better than that of serum LAG-3 and PTX3 alone.Conclusion The combined detection of serum LAG-3 and PTX3 for the diagnosis of AR has higher clinical application value and may be used to evaluate the severity of the disease.

Objective·To investigate the changes in transcriptome and chromatin accessibility during the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells(hESCs)into neural progenitor cells(NPCs)using in vitro differentiation models and high-throughput multi-omics sequencing technologies.Methods·hESCs were first induced to differentiate into NPCs in vitro using the embryoid body formation method,and cells at both stages were collected.The cell phenotypes were identified by reverse transcription-quantitative real-time PCR(RT-qPCR)and immunofluorescence(IF)staining.Transcriptome sequencing(RNA-seq)was conducted to detect and analyze the differentially expressed genes(DEGs)between hESCs and NPCs.The assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing(ATAC-seq)was employed to assess chromatin accessibility changes between hESCs and NPCs.Motif enrichment analysis was performed on differentially accessible chromatin regions to discover potential regulatory transcription factors.Finally,an integrated analysis of RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data and the protein-protein interaction(PPI)network were performed to identify key genes and regulatory pathways involved in the early stages of neural differentiation in vitro.Results·Both RT-qPCR and IF results indicated that the expression levels of pluripotency markers(NANOG and POU5F1)were high at the hESC stage but significantly decreased at the NPC stage,while early neural differentiation markers(PAX6,SOX1,and NES)were minimally expressed at the hESC stage but markedly upregulated at the NPC stage.RNA-seq analysis revealed that compared to the hESC stage,there were 5 597 genes upregulated and 3 654 genes downregulated at the NPC stage.Gene function enrichment analysis showed that the upregulated genes at the NPC stage were enriched in the functions related to neural development.ATAC-seq analysis demonstrated a total of 27 491 genomic regions had significant changes in chromatin accessibility during the differentiation from hESC to NPC,with 12 381 regions showing increased accessibility and 15 110 regions showing decreased accessibility.Motif enrichment analysis revealed that transcription factor genes such as DLX1 and LHX2 might play an important role in the differentiation process from hESCs into NPCs.Integrated analysis of RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data revealed that overlapping genes with high expression at the NPC stage were mainly enriched in axon guidance,forebrain development,and neuron migration.After neural differentiation,the expression levels of CTNND2 and LHX2 genes increased,and the chromatin accessibility of related genomic regions also increased.PPI network analysis indentified candidate downstream genes including PRKACA,CDH2,and ERBB4.Conclusion·The in vitro differentiation model of hESCs combined with high-throughput multi-omics sequencing technologies can be used to depict the changes in transcriptome and chromatin accessibility during the differentiation of hESCs into NPCs.In this process,the expression levels of genes related to axon guidance,forebrain development,and neuronal migration pathways increase and related chromatin accessibility is enhanced.
