OBJECTIVE: To analyze the distribution characteristics of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) mutations and their enzyme activity in newborns patients with G6PD deficiency in Guilin region. METHODS: From July 2022 to July 2024, umbilical cord blood samples from 4 554 newborns in Guilin were analyzed for G6PD mutations using fluorescence PCR melting curve analysis. Enzyme activity was detected in 4 467 cases using the rate assay. RESULTS: Among 4 467 newborns who underwent G6PD activity testing, 162 newborns (3.63%) were identified as G6PD-deficient, including 142 males (6.04%) and 20 females (0.94%), the prevalence of G6PD deficiency was significantly higher in males than in females (P < 0.001). Genetic analysis of 4 554 newborns detected G6PD mutations in 410 cases (9%), including 171 males (7.13%) and 239 females (11.09%), with a significantly higher mutation detection rate in females than in males (P < 0.001). A total of nine single mutations and four compound heterozygous mutations were identified. The most common mutations were c.1388G>A (33.66%), c.1376G>T (23.66%) and c.95A>G (16.34%). Among newborns who underwent both enzyme activity and genetic mutation testing, males with G6PD mutations had significantly lower enzyme activity than that of females with G6PD mutations(P < 0.001). Specifically, among newborns carrying the mutations c.1388G>A, c.1376G>T, c.95A>G, c.1024C>T or c.871G>A, males consistently exhibited lower enzymatic activity than females with the same mutations (P < 0.001). Furthermore, in male G6PD-deficient newborns, the enzyme activity levels in those carrying c.1388G>A, c.1376G>T, c.95A>G, c.1024C>T, or c.871G>A were lower than those in both the control group and the c.519C>T group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This study provides a comprehensive profile of G6PD deficiency incidence and mutation spectrum in the Guilin region. By analyzing enzyme activity and genetic mutation results, this study provides insights into potential intervention strategies and personalized management approaches for the prevention and treatment of neonatal G6PD deficiency in the region.

Objective:To explore the application effect of nano-carbon in single port laparo-scopic transanal total mesorectal resection in the treatment of low rectal cancer.Methods:A total of 96 patients underwent single-port laparoscopic transanal mesorectal resection were selected and randomly divided into observation group(preoperative nano-carbon suspension injection)and control group,48 cases in each group based on the random number table method.After the operation,the number of lymph nodes dissected was recorded,and the number of dark-stained lymph nodes was detected,and pathological examination was performed to confirm the metastasis of each lymph node.Results:The average number of lymph nodes detected in the observation group(18.46±3.52 vs 10.63±1.95)was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statis-tically significant(P＜0.05).The rate of lymph node metastasis detected in the observation group(12.19％)was higher than that in the control group(9.41％),but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The metastasis rate of black-stained lymph nodes(88/611,14.40％)was significantly higher than that of non-stained lymph nodes(20/275,6.18％)and the control group(48/510,9.41％),and the difference was statistically significant(x2=9.007,6.495,P=0.003,0.011).Conclusion:Preoperative application of nano-activated carbon suspension injec-tion can increase the number of lymph nodes and the detection rate of lymph node metastasis in pa-tients undergoing single-port laparoscopic transanal mesorectal resection,which can ensure the ac-curacy of pathological staging.It can be used in clinical rectal cancer.The treatment is of guiding sig-nificance.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect of Celastrus orbiculatus extracts (COE) on the proliferation of lymphoma cells and the immune regulation ability on inflammation and thrombophilia in vivo. METHODS: The 38B9 lymphoma cells were treated with COE (160 µ g/mL) and CTX (25 µ mol/L). The apoptosis rate and cell cycle of each group were detected by flow cytometry. The secretion of inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), in cell supernatant was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In vivo, BALB/c mice were subcutaneously injected with 38B9 lymphoma cells to establish lymphoma model. COE (3 mg·kg^-1·d^-1) and CTX (40 mg·kg^-1·d^-1) were administered to the model mice, respectively. The expression of plasma inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α) and thrombus indexes, including D-dimer (D-D), von Willebrand factor (vWF) and tissue factor (TF), were detected by ELISA before tumor bearing (1 d), after tumor formation (14 d) and after intervention (21 d). PicoGreen dsDNA was used to detect the level of serum neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of platelet activation marker calcium-dependent lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2). The tumor growth and survival of mice were recorded. RESULTS: The 38B9 lymphoma cells were apoptotic after the intervention of COE and CTX. The ratio of G₂-M phase cells decreased in COE intervented cells compared with the control cells (P<0.05), and S phase cells decreased in CTX intervented cells (P<0.05). Also, the secretion level of IL-6 was significantly reduced after COE or CTX intervention (P<0.05), and IL-10 was significantly increased (P<0.05). Furthermore, the tumor mass was reduced, and the median survival time was longer in COE and CTX intervented tumor-bearing mice than in non-intervented mice. The significantly lower levels of TNF-α, IL-6, NETs, TF, DD and CLEC-2, as well as higher IL-10 were observed in COE and CTX treatment mice in comparision with the control mice (P<0.05). CONCLUSION COE has a mild and stable anti-tumor effect, which can reduce the secretion of inflammatory factors by lymphoma cells and regulate thrombophilic state caused by tumor inflammatory microenvironment.

Objective: To analyze the clinical and molecular diagnostic status of Fanconi anemia (FA) in China. Methods: The General situation, clinical manifestations and chromosome breakage test and genetic test results of 107 pediatric FA cases registered in the Chinese Blood and Marrow Transplantation Registry Group (CBMTRG) and the Chinese Children Blood and Marrow Transplantation Registry Group (CCBMTRG) from August 2009 to January 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Children with FANCA gene variants were divided into mild and severe groups based on the type of variant, and Wilcoxon-test was used to compare the phenotypic differences between groups. Results: Of the 176 registered FA patients, 69 (39.2%) cases were excluded due to lack of definitive genetic diagnosis results, and the remaining 107 children from 15 hospitals were included in the study, including 70 males and 37 females. The age at transplantation treatment were 6 (4, 9) years. The enrolled children were involved in 10 pathogenic genes, including 89 cases of FANCA gene, 7 cases of FANCG gene, 3 cases of FANCB gene, 2 cases of FANCE gene and 1 case each of FANCC, FANCD1, FANCD2, FANCF, FANCJ, and FANCN gene. Compound heterozygous or homozygous of loss-of-function variants account for 69.2% (72/104). Loss-of-function variants account for 79.2% (141/178) in FANCA gene variants, and 20.8% (37/178) were large exon deletions. Fifty-five children (51.4%) had chromosome breakage test records, with a positive rate of 81.8% (45/55). There were 172 congenital malformations in 80 children.Café-au-Lait spots (16.3%, 28/172), thumb deformities (16.3%,28/172), polydactyly (13.9%, 24/172), and short stature (12.2%, 21/172) were the most common congenital malformations in Chinese children with FA. No significant difference was found in the number of congenital malformations between children with severe (50 cases) and mild FANCA variants (26 cases) (Z=-1.33, P=0.185). Conclusions: FANCA gene is the main pathogenic gene in children with FA, where the detection of its exon deletion should be strengthened clinically. There were no phenotypic differences among children with different types of FANCA variants. Chromosome break test is helpful to determine the pathogenicity of variants, but its accuracy needs to be improved.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the epidemiological characteristics (season, age, gender, mixed infection and clinical manifestations, etc.) of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection in children in Hainan Province, so as to provide epidemiological evidence-based medical basis for the prevention and control of MP infection in children in Hainan Province. Methods　The serum IgM antibodies of MP, Legionella pneumophila, Chlamydia pneumoniae, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Q fever Rickettsia, parainfluenza virus, influenza A virus and influenza B virus in children with respiratory tract infections (RTIs) who were hospitalized in pediatrics of many hospitals in Hainan Province from March 2012 to February 2020 were detected by indirect immunofluorescence method. The positive serum MP-IgM antibody was defined as MP infection. The epidemiological and clinical data of MP infected cases were analyzed retrospectively. Results　From March, 2012 to February, 2020, a total of 35 731 qualified pediatric inpatients with RTIs in many hospitals in Hainan Province were tested for serum MP-IgM with the total positive rate of 39.12% (13 978/35 731). The yearly positive rates of MP-IgM from 2012 to 2020 were 48.39%, 56.23%, 56.62%, 47.04%, 29.71%, 24.14%, 47.55%, 36.84% and 24.46% respectively. The positive rates of MP-IgM in 2013 and 2014 were significantly higher than those in other years (P<0.05). The positive rate of MP-IgM in summer in Hainan Province was the highest (41.34%) and the lowest in winter (35.77%) (P<0.05). MP infection occurred in all age groups, the positive rate of MP-IgM in children of preschool (51.80%) was significantly higher than that in other age groups (P<0.01), and the positive rate of MP IgM in children of infancy (15.36%) was lower than that in other age groups (P<0.01). The positive rate of MP-IgM in female was 44.77%, which was significantly higher than that in male (35.83%) (P<0.05). MP infection combined with positive IgM of another pathogen accounted for 32.63% (4 561 cases), positive IgM of another two pathogens accounted for 1.26% (176 cases). MP infection was mostly found in pneumonia (68.73%), and the main clinical symptoms were cough (84.72%), fever (51.01%) and wheezing (3.16%). Conclusions　MP is an important pathogen of respiratory tract infection in children in Hainan Province, and infection is more common in children in early school age and early childhood. Mp-specific tests should be performed to identify the pathogen in children suspected of MP infection. In the high incidence season, health education should be strengthened in kindergartens, schools and other places to prevent respiratory tract infection.
