ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of triglyceride (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio on the onset of primary liver cancer. MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted. Physical examination data were collected from 99 750 cases of on-the-job and retired employees of Kailuan Group who participated health examination from July 2006 to December 2007, and they were followed up till December 31, 2021 to observe the onset of primary liver cancer. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of continuous data with skewed distribution between multiple groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. According to the tertiles of TG/HDL-C ratio, the subjects were divided into Q1, Q2, and Q3 groups, and the incidence density of primary liver cancer was calculated for each group. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cumulative incidence rate of primary liver cancer in each group, and the log-rank test was used to compare the difference in cumulative incidence rate between groups. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the influence of TG/HDL-C ratio on the onset of primary liver cancer. ResultsThere were significant differences between the three groups in age, proportion of male subjects, waist circumference, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, chronic liver diseases, hypertension, diabetes, the family history of malignant tumor, drinking, smoking, physical exercise, and educational level (P<0.05). During the mean follow-up time of 14.06±2.71 years, there were 484 cases of new-onset liver cancer, among whom there were 446 male subjects and 38 female subjects. The incidence density of primary liver cancer was 0.39/1 000 person-years in the Q1 group, 0.35/1 000 person-years in the Q2 group, and 0.30/1 000 person-years in the Q3 group, and the cumulative incidence rates of primary liver cancer in the three groups were 6.03‰, 5.28‰, and 4.49‰, respectively, with a significant difference between the three groups based on the long-rank test (χ2=6.06, P=0.048). After adjustment for the confounding factors considered, the Cox proportional hazards model showed that compared with the Q3 group, the Q1 group had a hazard ratio of 2.04 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.61 — 2.58, Pfor trend<0.05), and the Q2 group had a hazard ratio of 1.53 (95%CI: 1.21 — 1.92, Pfor trend<0.05). ConclusionThe reduction in TG/HDL-C ratio is associated with an increase in the rask of primary liver cancer, especially in people with chronic liver diseases.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin A in the treatment of hand hyperhidrosis.Methods:One hundred patients with hand hyperhidrosis were treated with botulinum toxin A (BTXA, Lanzhou Biotechnology Development Co., Ltd., Botulinum Toxin Type A for Injection Hengli) injection, a total of 200 U. Each hand was injected with 100 U respectively. The curative effect was evaluated by self-made questionnaire. The scores of the two were added. The subjective and objective evaluation were carried out before and after injection, and the patients were rechecked 2 weeks, and 1, 4 and 6 months after injection. Efficacy, patient satisfaction and adverse reactions were evaluated.Results:Compared with before treatment, the effective rate increased 2 weeks after injection, 1 month after injection, 4 months after injection and 6 months after injection, and the difference was statistically significant (Chi-square value was 31.54, 36.33, 28.34, 25.23, respectively, P<0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, the effect gradually decreased, and the curative effect could be maintained for about 10 months. After recurrence, the symptoms of hand sweating were still reduced. Satisfaction 96%; Adverse reactions were mild, subcutaneous blood stasis, 27% hand muscles were slightly weak, and returned to normal after 2-3 weeks. Conclusions:Botulinum toxin A injection has certain curative effect, high safety and less adverse reactions. It is an ideal method for the treatment of hand hyperhidrosis.
5.The mechanism of oxidative stress in the immature gut under different oxygen concentrations
International Journal of Pediatrics 2023;50(12):820-824
Oxidative stress by different oxygen concentrations can cause damage to the immature intestinal tract of newborns and preterm infants.Newborns, especially premature infants, have underdeveloped intestinal tracts, immature immune function, increased susceptibility to oxidative stress, and are prone to intestinal inflammatory diseases.Both hypoxia and hyperoxia can trigger oxidative stress, leading to intestinal damage.Histological changes include damage to the intestinal barrier, watery degeneration of the intestinal epithelium, and reduced goblet cells and villi.Hypoxia-induced intestinal injury is affected by a variety of signaling pathways including CRF-TLR4, Grx1-HIF-VEGF, NLRP3-Caspase-1, and miRNA-SIRT axis.The intestinal injury induced by hyperoxia is closely related to TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, Nrf2/IL-17D axis, and ASK1-MAPK cascade.This review focuses on the histological changes and molecular pathways of hypoxic or hyperoxic-induced intestinal injury to establish a framework for potential interventions.

Objective:To report the clinical characteristics of a case of childhood amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) caused by SPTLC2 c.778G>A (p.Glu260Lys) mutation. Methods:Whole exon sequencing or whole genome sequencing data from 1 936 patients in the ALS cohort of Peking Union Medical College Hospital were screened for SPTLC2 gene mutations. Clinical data, laboratory examination, neurophysiological examination and genetic test results of the proband were collected. Results:Only one 9-year-old male child with SPLTC2 gene mutation was found. He was admitted to the Department of Neurology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital in December 2022 due to"progressive limb weakness for more than 4 years". Physical examination revealed atrophy and fasciculations of the tongue. Weakness of 4 limbs, muscle atrophy, as well as bilateral hyperreflexia, clonus, and Babinski sign were present. Whole genome sequencing indicated that SPTLC2 gene had c.778G>A (p.Glu260Lys) missense mutation, and no other pathogenic mutations of ALS related genes were detected. Sanger sequencing and family verification showed that neither father nor mother carried the mutation, suggesting that it was a de novo mutation. Nerve conduction velocity test showed no abnormalities, and electromyography suggested neurogenic lesions. Neurofilament light chain in cerebrospinal fluid and serum were increased significantly. The patient′s symptoms continued worsening even after oral administration of L-serine. Conclusion:SPTLC2 gene mutation can cause childhood ALS, and further study of its potential pathogenesis is helpful to uncover another potential pathway of ALS and a novel therapeutic target.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical features and genetic etiology for a neonate with Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS).
METHODS:
Copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) was applied to the neonate and his parents, and the genotype-phenotype correlation was analyzed.
RESULTS:
On the second day after birth, the neonate had presented with pathological jaundice and immunodeficiency. Cranial MRI revealed ventricular enlargement and enlargement of cisterna magna. At 3 months, the infant has presented with square face, prominent forehead, deep-set eyes, hypertelorism, palpebral fissure upward and button noses. Genetic testing showed that he had carried a 2.9 Mb deletion in 17p11.2 region, seq[GRCh37] del(17)(p11.2)(chr17:16 836 379-19 880 992). The same deletion was not found in either parent.
CONCLUSION
SMS is mostly diagnosed in child and adulthood, but rarely in neonates. For neonates with SMS, the neurological and behavioral abnormalities have not been shown, but pathological jaundice, CNS abnormalities and immune deficiency may be the characteristics, which require attention of neonatal physicians.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients suffering from plastic bronchitis (PB) caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) and explore its risk factors as well. Methods:A retrospective analysis on clinical and laboratory data of PB children caused by MP and treated in Department of Respiratory in Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from January 2011 to December 2017, compared with MP pneumonia(MPP) children without PB in the same period.Meanwhile, Logistic regression analysis was performed. Results:Among the 306 MPP children, there were 50 cases in the PB group and 256 cases in the non-PB group.Compared with children in the non-PB group, children in PB group were higher in terms of age [(82.74±35.17)months vs.(66.63±35.67) months], percentage of neutrophils (0.705 8±0.139 1 vs.0.605 7±0.162 6), C reactive protein(CRP) [17.4(10.21, 42.86) mg/L vs.11.43(4.55, 23.66) mg/L], D-dimer(DD) [1 071 (279.5, 2 386.5) μg/L vs.523 (233, 1 099.5) μg/L], lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) [491.1 (342.3, 607.4) U/L vs.394.9 (319.1, 512.8) U/L], erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)[25.0 (17.0, 36.0) mm/1 h vs.15.5(9.0, 28.0) mm/1 h], aspartate aminotranferase(AST) [33.5(26.1, 49.3) U/L vs.29.2(24.0, 37.2) U/L], alanine aminotransferase (ALT) [19.1(11.45, 31.50) U/L vs.13.6 (10.3, 23.15) U/L], IgA [1.46(0.98, 2.12) mg/L vs.1.15 (0.64, 1.60) mg/L], CD3 -CD (16+56)+ (0.155 0±0.088 6 vs.0.120 2±0.071 5), allergy history [44.0%(22/50 cases) vs.25.8%(65/256 cases)], mixed infection [38.0% (19/50 cases) vs.24.6%(63/256 cases)], and microscopic mucosal erosion [10.0%(5/50 cases) vs.2.3%(6/256 cases)] (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis displayed that allergy history ( OR= 5.604, 95% CI: 1.937-16.216), age ( OR = 3.142, 95% CI: 1.425-6.929), percentage of neutrophils ( OR=2.387, 95% CI: 1.088-5.238), CRP ( OR=3.959, 95% CI: 1.072-14.662), and DD ( OR=7.824, 95% CI: 2.824-21.673) were independent risk factors for PB caused by MP infection (all P<0.05). The cut-off values of age, percentage of neutrophils, CRP, and DD were 64 months, 0.70, 35 mg/L, and 2 000 μg/L. Conclusions:Children with PB caused by MP often develop in older and allergic children who have stronger inflammatory reactions, immune disorders, and hyperfibrinolysis.

The clinical features and laboratory tests results of two cases with Fanconi anemia (FA) who were admitted to the Department of Children′s Hematology and Endocrinology, the Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University in 2017 were analyzed.Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification(MLPA) of FA-related genes was carried out.One case was female, 4 years and 3 months old.The other case was a 6-year-old male.The main manifestations were recurrent fever, asthenia and bleeding points in both legs.The girl had milk coffee spots scattered on her legs and waist, and her left thumb nail was absent.The boy had no obvious physical examination abnormality, but his left atrium and left ventricle were large and segmental myocardial damage could be seen by echocardiography.Bone marrow biopsies of both cases showed hypo-proliferation (40%) or extremely low proliferation (10%), and no megakaryocyte was found.There were no significant abnormalities in chromosome aberration, single cell gel electrophoresis, cluster of differentiation(CD) 41, CD 55, and CD 59 and chromosome karyotype.Gene sequencing revealed that the two children had compound heterozygous mutations of Fanc A gene, which came from parents.The heterozygous mutation of c1838delT was found in the exon 21 of the female child and her father, which resulted in amino acid shift mutation pIi613Tfs*27.The heterozygous deletion mutations in exons 1-3 of Fanc A gene were found in the female child and her mother by the MLPA results.The gene sequencing analysis of the male child and his family members showed the heterozygous mutation of c4124_4125del in the exon 41 of the child and his mother, which resulted in amino acid shift mutation p. T1375Sfs*49.The heterozygous deletion mutations were observed in exons 23-40 of the male child and his father, according to the MLPA results.The main basis of diagnosis of FA is to sequence the related genes of suspected children.The c1838delT is a new mutation of Fanc A gene.
