Objective:To analyze the current preparation and usage situation of first-aid drugs in the rescue vehicles in children's medical institutions, and provide references for optimizing the list of emergency drugs.Methods:First-aid drug lists in the rescue vehicles of 12 children's medical institutions from 11 provinces and municipalities in China were collected through questionnaire surveys, and the drugs as well as their quantities were compared. The existing problems in the use of first-aid drugs in the 12 medical institutions were investigated by on-site interviews. The usage information of first-aid drugs in the rescue vehicles of the General Surgery and Cardiology Department of Shanxi Children's Hospital from May 2022 to April 2023 was collected through the hospital information center, and usage frequency and dosage per patient of the drugs were calculated. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted on the collected data.Results:The first-aid drug lists in 12 hospitals were various, including 7 to 22 kinds of drugs and involving a total of 23 drugs. These mainly included vasoactive drugs, cardiotonic drugs, antiarrhythmic drugs, antiangina and anti-ischemic drugs for the heart, antispasmodic drugs, diuretics, dehydrating drugs, sedative-hypnotic drugs, and glucocorticoids, all of which were injections. The drugs that were included in all the lists of 12 hospitals were epinephrine, dopamine, dexamethasone, furosemide, and atropine. The drug lists of different rescue vehicles throughout the hospital were the same in 4 hospitals, while the lists varied among departments based on their specific clinical needs in the other 8 hospitals. None of the 12 hospitals had a first-aid drug usage manual. The on-site interview results showed that, the existing problems about drug preparation and use in rescue vehicles mainly involved the following 6 aspects: drug types, quantities, labels, storage, procurement, and usage. In Shanxi Children's Hospital, the types and quantities of first-aid drugs in rescue vehicles of General Surgery Department and Cardiology Department were the same. There were 6 and 9 kinds of drugs were used in the 2 departments during rescue operations, respectively. The drugs that were never used in either department included promethazine, lidocaine, diazepam, phenobarbital, raceanisodamine, sodium bicarbonate, atropine, glucose, and calcium gluconate.Conclusions:The phenomenon of unreasonable kinds and quantities of first-aid drugs in the rescue vehicles existed in the children's medical institutions, and the drugs provided did not fully match the actual clinical needs. There was an urgent need for preparation guidelines and usage manuals of first-aid drugs that were suitable for children's medical institutions to enhance the scientificity of drug supply and the correctness of usage.

Objective To create a recombinant rabies virus overexpressing IL-33 and to clarify the effect of IL-33 overexpression on the phenotypic characteristics of recombinant virus in vitro. Methods The IL-33 gene was obtained and amplified from the brain of a highly virulent strain of rabies infected mouse. It was then inserted between the G and L genes of the parental virus LBNSE genome by reversing genetic manipulation and rescuing a recombinant virus overexpressing IL-33. BSR cells or mouse NA cells were infected with recombinant rabies virus (rLBNSE-IL33) and the parental strain LBNSE. Sequencing and fluorescent antibody virus neutralization assay was employed to detect the stability of recombinant virus at multiplicity of infection=0.01. Viral titres focal forming units (FFU) were detected to plot multi-step growth curves (multiplicity of infection=0.01). Cytotoxicity assay kit was used to detect cellular activity. ELISA was adopted to identify the IL-33 in the supernatant of infected cells of different multiplicity of infection. Results Rescued rLBNSE-IL33 overexpressing IL-33 remained stable for at least 10 consecutive generations and had virus titers of approximately 10⁸ FFU/mL. rLBNSE-IL33 was able to express IL-33 at high levels in a dose-dependent manner, but no high expression of IL-33 was detected in the supernatant of cells infected by LBNSE. Examination of the titers of rLBNSE-IL33 and the parental strain LBNSE in BSR and NA cells over 5 days showed no significant differences and similar kinetic properties in growth. Overexpression of IL-33 had no significant effect on the proliferation and activity of infected cells. Conclusion Overexpression of IL-33 does not significantly affect the phenotypic characteristics of recombinant rabies virus in vitro.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate regulatory T cells (Tregs) relative content in peripheral blood and bone marrow of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated with or without decitabine (DAC), analyze the immunomodulatory of Tregs in pathogenesis and remission of MDS and AML, as well as effect of DAC on Tregs. METHODS: From October 2018 to February 2019, 15 patients with MDS and 49 patients with AML (newly diagnosed, treated with DAC or other chemotherapy regimens) were enrolled in this study, and 14 cases with iron deficiency or megaloblastic anemia while without malignant tumor and autoimmune disease as controls. The Tregs relative contents in bone marrow and peripheral blood were analyzed by flow cytometry, meanwhile clinical data of the objects were collected. RESULTS: In peripheral blood and bone marrow of the patients with MDS and AML, the Tregs relative contents at newly diagnosed were higher than those of the control group (P=0.05, P=0.043). The Tregs relative content of AML patients in DAC regimen treatment group was significantly lower than that in the newly diagnosed group and non-DAC chemotherapy group (P<0.05). In DAC regimen treatment group, the Tregs relative contents was significantly lower in remission group than in non-remission group (P<0.05). There was no difference between DAC regimen treatment group and control group in Tregs relative content. CONCLUSION DAC may increase the body's anti-tumor immunity by consuming Tregs content, enhance the body's immune function to identify and kill tumor cells, thereby promote the patients' reliefs.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of petroleum ether extract of Rhizoma Amorphophalli (SLG) in inhibiting proliferation and promoting apoptosis and differentiation of leukemia K562 cells. METHODS: K562 cells were processed by SLG and PD98059 which was the ERK signaling pathway blocker. Then cell vitality was tested by MTT. Cell apoptosis rate and positive percentage of antigen expression related with differentiation were detected by flow cytometry. The protein expression levels of ERK1/2 and pERK1/2 were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: The proliferation activity of K562 was reduced by 50, 100, 200 mg/L SLG in a concentration dependent manner (r=0.9997). The apoptosis rate and positive expression rate of CD11b, CD14 and CD42b which were related with differentiation were raised by SLG, as well as the expression of pERK1/2, while PD98059 could reverse the promoting effect of SLG on apoptosis and differentiation partially. CONCLUSION SLG can inhibit the proliferation and promote apoptosis and differentiation of K562 cells through ERK signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of norcantharidin (NCTD) to proliferation of leukemia cells through disrupting key regulators of sonic Hedgehog (SHH) pathway and its downstream transcription factor SOX2. METHODS: CCK8 was used to detected the HL60 and NB4 cells after inhibited by NCTD, SMO and GLI1 inhibitor for 24 hours. Expression level of SMO, GLI1 and SOX2 in HL60 cells with NCTD treatment was detected by immunoblot. HL60 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1 plasmid expressing GLI1 or SOX2. Empty vector and pcDNA3. 1-EGFP were divided into negative and positive control group, respectively. The expression of exogenous GLI1 or SOX2 in HL60 cells was confirmed by immunoblot, and growth curve of HL60 cell was checked by CCK8. Proliferation of genetic modified HL60 cells treated by various dose of NCTD was detected. RESULTS: NCTD, SMO/GLI1 inhibitors could inhibit the proliferation of NB4 and HL60 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with solvent (DMSO)-treated control group, NCTD remarkably decreased protein level of SMO, GLI1 and SOX2. GLI1 and SOX2 were overexpressed in HL60 cells as compared with pcDNA3.1 empty vector-transfected group. Growth curve demonstrated significant proliferative advantage of GLI1/SOX2-transfected cells. CCK8 assay indicated that GLI1/SOX2-overexpressed HL60 cells were more resistant to NCTD treatment. CONCLUSION NCTD attenuates HL60 proliferation via targeting the Hedgehog/SOX2 axis.

In recent years, it is found that the classical IKKα and IKKβ pathway were closely relates with hematological tumors, except the classical pathogenesis, moreover the classical IKKβ pathway is deeply studied. The studies indicated that the IKKβis activated to phosphorylate the NF-κB through multiple cascades under the effect of extracellular IL-6, TNF-α and other stimulating factors. At the cellular level, the classical IKKβcan promote the tumor cell survival and proliferation, reduce the cell apoptosis, and promote the angiogenesis and cell transfer. Although the classical IKKα plays a role in regulating IKKβ activity, but its role in non-classical pathway is more prominent. This review briefly summarizes the latest advance of researches on the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies in term of IKKα and IKKβpathway, so as to provide the theoretic basis for deeply understanding and studying the pathogenesis of hematologic tumors. At present, blocking the classical IKKα and IKKβ pathway has become a new target for treatment of hematological tumors, moreover, some specific inhibitor for IKKα and IKKβpathway have been developed, for example, LY2409881, BMS 345541 and so on. Most of these drugs are in clinical trials and display some good anti-tumor effects.
