Immune repertoire is defined as the sum of T cells and B cells, which possesses high diversity and enables immune system to respond to various antigen stimuli. With the development of sequencing technique, immune repertoire sequencing can be utilized to deeply understand the changes of lymphocyte clones when rejection occurs at the gene level, and also provide the possibility for the emergence of novel non-invasive diagnostic techniques based on immune repertoire sequencing. In recent years, more and more attempts have been made to apply immune repertoire sequencing in solid organ transplantation, especially in the fields of kidney transplantation, liver transplantation, heart transplantation and post-transplantation infection. In this article, research progresses on the application of immune repertoire sequencing in these fields were reviewed, and current status of immune repertoire sequencing in organ transplantation and its potential as a novel technique for early non-invasive diagnosis of rejection were summarized, aiming to provide reference for subsequent development and clinical application of this technique.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) defines autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in early childhood and is accompanied by social communication deficits and repetitive stereotyped behaviors. According to the monitoring data released in 2021 in the United States, the prevalence of ASD in children was as high as 2.27%; that is, one in 44 children had autism (Maenneret al., 2021). China publicly reported this figure to be around 0.7% (Zhou et al., 2020). The current view is that children with ASD are generally impaired in their adaptation ability (McDonaldet al., 2016; Hodgeet al., 2021; Opertoet al., 2021). Adaptive behaviors comprise the conceptual, social, and practical skills that enable individuals to adapt to the environment, which play an important role in daily life (McDonald et al., 2019). "Adaptive behavior" was first described by Doll (1936). Subsequently, abnormalities in adaptive behavior were included in the criteria for intellectual disability for the first time (Heber, 1961). The American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR) has refined and specified this term several times. Researchers hold different opinions on the structure of social adaptive capability. Greenspan and Granfield (1992) divided social adaptive capability into social understanding and social interaction. However, an increasing number of scholars considered that the concept of adaptive behaviors in children was constructed via multiple dimensions. The most representative one among them was the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) proposed by Sparrow et al. (1984). This scale illustrates that adaptive behavior includes communication, daily living skills, socialization, and motor skills. Harrison and Oakland (2003) developed an Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS), by applying the theory of adaptive behavior proposed by AAMR and the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD). This system shows that adaptive behavior has three adaptive composites, namely, conceptual composite (including communication, learning function, and self-management), social composite (including leisure and social skills), and practical composite (including community application, home living, health and safety, and self-care). As there are different requirements for the social adaptive capability of children from different cultural backgrounds and various regions, Chinese scholars have translated the Normal Development of Social Skills from Infant to Junior High School Children (S-M) scale compiled by Japanese scholars into Chinese, which is now widely used in China (Zhang et al., 1995). The impairment of adaptive function in children with ASD includes multiple dimensions, such as socialization, communication, and daily living skills (Kanne et al., 2011), and the degree of impairment can predict the prognosis and outcome in real life, including education acquisition and independent living ability (Farley et al., 2009). Therefore, adaptive behavioral capacity is considered to be a key intervention point that directly affects the individual and social outcomes of autistic children (Veenstra-VanderWeele et al., 2017; Bölte et al., 2019).

Objective:
To describe the characteristics of clinical manifestations and epidemiology of children with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection.
Methods:
All 34 children with laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV infection by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR through nasopharyngeal swab specimens were admitted to the Third People’s Hospital of Shenzhen from January 19 to Febuary 7, 2020. Clinical data and epidemiological history of these patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed.
Results:
Among the 34 cases, 14 were males, and 20 were females. The median age was 8 years and 11 months. No patients had underlying diseases. There were 28 children (82%) related with a family cluster outbreak. There were 26 children (76%) with a travel or residence history in Hubei Province. These patients could be categorized into different clinical types, including 22 (65%) common cases, 9 (26%) mild cases and 3 (8.8%) asymptomatic cases. No severe or critical cases were identified. The most common symptoms were fever (17 cases, 50%) and cough (13 cases, 38% ). In the 34 cases, the white blood cell counts of 28 cases (82%) were normal. Five cases had white blood cell counts more than 10×109/L. One case had white blood cell counts less than 4×109/L. Neutropenia and lymphopenia was found in one case, respectively. C-reactive protein levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rates were elevated in 1 and 5 case, respectively. Elevated procalcitonin was found in 1 case and D-Dimer in 3 cases. The levels of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were more than 400 U/L in 10 cases. The CT images of these patients showed bilateral multiple patchy or nodular ground-glass opacities and/or infiltrating shadows in middle and outer zone of the lung or under the pleura. Twenty patients were treated with lopinavir and ritonavir. Glucocorticoids and immunoglobulin were not used in any cases. All the cases improved and were discharged from hospital. Further following up was need.
Conclusions
The clinical manifestations in children with 2019-nCoV infection are non-specific and are milder than that in adults. Chest CT scanning is heplful for early diagnosis. Children's infection is mainly caused by family cluster outbreak and imported cases. Family daily prevention is the main way to prevent 2019-nCoV infection.

Objective To evaluate the changes in myocardial glucose transporter 4 ( GLUT4 ) membrane translocation in the rats with high-level spinal cord injury ( SCI ) . Methods Thirty-six clean-grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 250-300 g, were divided into 3 groups using a random number table method: control group (group C, n=6), sham operation group (group S, n=6) and high-level SCI group (group SCI, n=24). The model of SCI was established by a modified Allen's method in anesthetized rats. The spinal cord was only exposed in group S. Six rats were selected in C and S groups and at 4, 12, 24 and 48 h after SCI ( T1-4 ) in group SCI, and blood samples were taken from the abdominal aorta to measure the activities of serum creatine kinase and creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB. The rats were then sacrificed, and myocardial specimens were collected for microscopic examination of the ultra-structure ( with a transmission electron microscope) and for determination of ATP weight ratio, phosphoryla-tion of insulin receptor substrate-1 tyrosine and expression of GLUT4 in cell membrane ( by Western blot) . Results Compared with C and S groups, the serum creatine kinase and creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB ac-tivities were significantly increased at T1-4 , the ATP weight ratio was decreased, the expression of GLUT4 in myocardial cell membrane was down-regulated, the expression of phosphorylated insulin receptor sub-strate-1 tyrosine in myocaradium was down-regulated at T2,3 (P<0. 05), and the pathological changes of myocardial tissues were found in group SCI. There was no significant difference in the indexes mentioned a-bove between group C and group S ( P>0. 05) . Conclusion The mechanism of myocardial energy metabo-lism disorder may be related to the reduced membrane translocation of GLUT4 in the rats with high-level SCI.

Objective To examine the adaptability of Carver and White' s behavioral activation/in-hibition scales(BIS/BAS Scales)in a large sample of Chinese military-man,and to revise the instrument and validate its factor structure. Methods A total of 2 921 Chinese military-men completed four subscales:one for the Behavioral Inhibition System,and three for the Behavioral Approach System(drive,reward re-sponsiveness,fun seeking).Data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.The internal consistency of the subscales and the complete scale were examined. Results The findings did not support Carver and White's 4-factor structure which was validated in a sample of Chinese college students.A 3-factor structure(behavioral inhibition,reward responsiveness,drive)in Chinese military-man were extracted and validated using confirmatory factor analysis(CFA)(KMO=0.87,CFI=0.94,RMSEA=0.06).The Cronbach α of behavioral inhibition,drive and reward responsiveness were 0.78,0.71 and 0.67 respectively.The internal consistencies of behavioral inhibition and drive were higher than four-factor model of Chinese college students and the internal consistencies of drive and reward responsiveness were less than American young adults.Be-havioral inhibition and drive positively predicted depressive symptoms(βBIS=0.332,βDrive=0.076,P<0.001),and reward responsiveness negatively predicted depressive symptoms(βRRS=-0.140,P<0.001). Conclusion The BIS/BAS Scales(revised Chinese military version)has acceptable reliability and validi-ty,and can be utilized as a measurement tool for assessing the approach/avoidance motivation of Chinese ser-vicemen.
