Objective To investigate the expression of 8-hydroxy deoxy guanosine(8-OHdG)and nectin-4 in the serum of primary liver cancer(PLC),and to evaluate the efficacy of transcatheter chemoembolization(TACE)for PLC.Methods From January 2021 to June 2022,180 patients with primary liver cancer with TACE were studied.According to the efficacy of TACE patients,they were separated into a good group(n=137)and an adverse group(n=43).The general clinical data and the serum expression levels of 8-OHdG and nectin-4 were compared between the two groups;multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative efficacy in TACE for primary liver cancer;receiver operating characteristic was applied to analyze the value of serum 8-OHdG and nectin-4 levels in evaluating the efficacy of TACE for primary liver cancer.Results There were no significant differences in age,sex,BMI,Child-Pugh grade,tumor location,tumor number,tumor diameter,tumor contour,degree of differentiation,tumor envelope,vascular cancer thrombus,bile duct cancer thrombus and lymph node metastasis between the poor postoperative efficacy group and the good efficacy group after TACE for primary liver cancer(P＞0.05).The expression levels of serum 8-OHdG and nectin-4 in the poor postoperative efficacy group after TACE for primary liver cancer were obviously higher than those in the good efficacy group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum 8-OHdG,nectin-4,tumor diameter,TNM staging and Lymph node metastasis were all independent influencing factors for the postoperative efficacy of TACE in primary liver cancer(P＜0.05).The AUC of the combined evaluation of serum 8-OHdG and nectin-4 for the postoperative efficacy of TACE in primary liver cancer was 0.930,with a sensitivity of 86.05％and a specificity of 94.16％,which was superior to their respective individual evaluations(Zcombination-8-OHdG=2.033,Zcombination-nectin-4=3.221,P=0.042,0.001).Conclusion The serum levels of 8-OHdG and nectin-4 are obviously increased in the poor postoperative efficacy group after TACE for primary liver cancer.The combination of the two has a good evaluation effect on the postoperative efficacy of TACE for primary liver cancer.

Objective:To study the clinical features and treatment strategy of neonatal ureaplasma meningitis.Methods:During 2021, the clinical data of 2 neonates with ureaplasma meningitis treated in Children's Hospital of Hunan Province were retrospectively analyzed. Literature on this subject were searched in the following databases: CNKI, Wanfang Database, Chinese Medical Journal Full-Text Database, CQVIP database, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase and Web of Science (up to March 2022). The key words included “infant”, “neonate”, “newborn”, “ureaplasma”, “mycoplasma urealytium”, “meningitis”, “central nervous system infection”, “brain”. The clinical data, treatment and prognosis of patients from the literature were summarized.Results:Case 1, female, gestational age(GA) 33 +3 weeks, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and ventricular dilatation were found on 2 d after birth. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) routine and biochemistry tests indicated meningitis, but the CSF culture was negative. No improvement after antibiotic treatment. CSF metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and 23S rRNA showed Ureaplasma urealyticum on 30 d after birth. The patient was treated with doxycycline (DOX) for 21 d until mNGS turned negative and DOX was discontinued. However, the disease recurred 23 d later and erythromycin was added with DOX as combined therapy. The patient was followed up until 6 months without neurodevelopmental disabilities. Case 2, male, GA 26 weeks, ICH and ventricular dilatation were found on 10 d after birth. The CSF routine and biochemistry tests indicated meningitis, but the CSF culture was negative. No improvement after antibiotic treatment. CSF mNGS and 23S rRNA showed Ureaplasma parvum. The patient received erythromycin therapy for 32 d and had normal neurodevelopment at 5 months. According to the literature, 43 cases were reported including the 2 cases descirbed above, 17 cases were full-term infants and 26 cases were preterm infants. The median CSF leukocytes, glucose and proteins were 566 cells/mm 3, 0.2 mmol/L and 2.2 g/L. 27 cases were diagnosed based on CSF culture, 6 cases using mNGS, 4 cases with both CSF culture and PCR method and 6 cases with other methods. Macrolides alone were used in 14 cases, macrolides combined with another antibiotic were used in 8 cases, non-macrolide antibiotics were used in 9 cases and 12 cases didn't receive any anti-ureaplasma therapy. All 17 term infants survived, however, 8 cases with hydrocephalus. Among the 26 preterm infants, 8 patients died, 18 patients had periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage and 15 patients had hydrocephalus. Conclusions:Neonatal ureaplasma meningitis has significantly lower CSF glucose level with hydrocephalus as the common complication. For intracranial infections of unknown etiology and no response to treatment, mNGS is helpful in determining the pathogen.Neonatal ureaplasma meningitis should be treated with macrolides alone or as add-on therapy.

Objective:To analyze the accuracy of lung ultrasound and chest X-ray in the diagnosis of neonatal pulmonary disease.Methods:We prospectively collected newborns that needed chest X-ray examination to diagnose pulmonary disease from twelve neonatal intensive care units across the country between June 2019 and April 2020.Each newborn was examined by lung ultrasound within two hours after chest X-ray examination.All chest X-ray and lung ultrasound images were independently read by a radiologist and a sonographer.When there was a disagreement, a panel of two experienced physicians made a final diagnosis based on the clinical history, chest X-ray and lung ultrasound images.Results:A total of 1 100 newborns were enrolled in our study.The diagnostic agreement between chest X-ray and lung ultrasound(Cohen′s kappa coefficient=0.347) was fair.Lung ultrasound(area under the curve=0.778; 95% CI 0.753-0.803) performed significantly better than chest X-ray(area under the curve=0.513; 95% CI 0.483-0.543) in the diagnosis of transient tachypnea of the newborn( P<0.001). The accuracy of lung ultrasound in diagnosing neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, meconium aspiration syndrome, pneumonia and neonatal pulmonary atelectasis was similar to that of chest X-ray. Conclusion:Lung ultrasound, as a low-cost, simple and radiation-free auxiliary examination method, has a diagnostic accuracy close to or even better than that of chest X-ray, which may replace chest X-ray in the diagnosis of some neonatal lung diseases.It should be noted that both chest X-ray and lung ultrasound can only be used as auxiliary means for the diagnosis of lung diseases, and it is necessary to combine imaging with the clinical history and presentation.

Objective:To investigate epidemiological characteristics and macrolide-resistance of hospitalized children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infections in Beijing from 2016 to 2019, so as to provide basis for the prevention and treatment of pediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).Methods:The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively from 8 691 children hospitalized with community acquired pneumonia in Beijing Children′s Hospital between January 2016 and September 2019.MP RNA was detected by simultaneous amplification and testing (SAT), and macrolide resistance of MP was examined by MP and macrolide-resistant isolate diagnostic kit (PCR with fluorescence probes). Chi- square test was used for categorical analysis. Results:Among 8 691 cases detected by SAT, the overall detection rate of MP was 28.10% (2 442/8 691 cases). The detection rates of MP from 2016 to 2019 were 26.23%, 31.36%, 27.84 % and 26.57%, respectively.The detection rate of MP in 2017 was significantly higher than that in other years ( χ2=16.11, P<0.05). The detection rate of MP in females was 29.65%(1 107/3 733 cases), which was evidently higher than that in males 26.93%(1 335/4 958 cases) ( χ2=7.85, P<0.05). The positive rates of MP in summer[32.21% (726/2 254 cases)] and autumn[39.76%(852/2 143 cases)] were significantly higher than those in spring[17.00% (327/1 924 cases)] and winter[22.66%(537/2 370 cases)] ( χ2=315.15, P<0.001). The percentages of MP were 35.06%(732/2 088 cases) in preschoolers and 37.71%(1 160/3 076 cases) in school-age children, which were significantly higher than 11.20%(232/2 072 cases) in infants and 22.01% (318/1 445 cases) in toddlers ( χ2=509.89, P<0.001). Macrolide resistance detection was conducted in 1 524 patients by fluorescent PCR.Among them, 1 386 patients were positive for drug resistance, and the positive rate was 90.94%.The prevalence of macrolide-resistant MP from 2016 to 2019 were 88.19%, 90.93%, 90.56% and 92.90%, respectively.Macrolide-resistant rates were not related with gender, age and season. Conclusions:MP can be detected in all seasons, but most prevalently in summer and autumn.Girls are more prone to MP infections than boys.The detection rate of MP increases with age, and the positive rate is higher in preschoolers and school-age children.During the 4-year study period, the drug resistant rate of MP remain high.

Objective:To investigate the etiology of pleural effusion in hospitalized children in Beijing Children′s Hospital.Methods:Clinical information of children with pleural effusion admitted to Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2018 was retrospectively analyzed.According to the etiology, the children were divided into infection group (parapneumonic pleural effusion, tuberculous pleurisy and empyema) and non infection group.According to the age, the children were further divided into ≤ 3 years old, >3-7 years old and > 7 years old groups.Classification of statistics was performed, and the etiology of pleural effusion were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 1 165 children with pleural effusion, 746 cases(64.0%) were infected with pleural effusion, 697 cases (697/746, 93.4%) of who were parapneumonic effusion.In patients with parapneumonic effusion, 457 cases (61.3%) had Mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) infection.Infectious pleural effusion was more common in children >7 years old(339/479 cases, 70.8%), while non-infectious pleural effusion was prevalent in children under 3 years old(188/324 cases, 58.0%). The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=96.33, P<0.05). Among the patients with non-infectious pleural effusion, 239 cases (239/419 cases, 57.0%) had multi-system diseases and 97 cases (97/419 cases, 23.2%) had malignant pleural effusion.All the 18 deaths were non-infectious pleural effusion. Conclusions:The leading reason for pleural effusion in children is infection.The most prevalent symptom is parapneumonic effusion, which is mainly caused by MP.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of percutaneous transhepatic drainage combined with sequential percutaneous nephroscopy for necrosectomy and drainage in the treatment of refractory liver abscess after transcatheter arterial embolization (TACE). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for three patients with refractory liver abscess after TACE in The Affiliated 3201 Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2018 to December 2020, and among the three patients, one had the formation of liver abscess after TACE for hepatic metastases after pancreaticoduodenectomy, one had liver abscess after repeated TACE for massive hepatocellular carcinoma, and one had secondary liver abscess after TACE for traumatic hepatic rupture. All three patients received percutaneous transhepatic drainage and sequential percutaneous nephroscopy for the treatment of refractory liver abscess, and their specific treatment process was summarized. Results All three patients were diagnosed with refractory liver abscess based on CT, routine blood test, procalcitonin, blood culture, and clinical manifestation. Percutaneous transhepatic catheterization under the guidance of conventional ultrasonography or CT and effective antibiotics had an unsatisfactory therapeutic effect, and after sequential percutaneous nephroscopy was performed for necrosectomy and drainage, liver abscess was cured and the patients had good prognosis. Conclusion For refractory liver abscess after TACE, when routine puncture treatment has an unsatisfactory therapeutic effect or a patient cannot tolerate surgical operation, percutaneous transhepatic drainage combined with sequential percutaneous nephroscopy is safe and effective in the treatment of refractory liver abscess.
