Objective:To explore the effect of Notch1 signaling on regulatory T cells and its roles in vascular damage in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods:A total of 42 children with KD were enrolled in the present study from March 2019 to June 2020, as 32 age-matched healthy children were recruited as control. The proportions of CD4 +CD25 hiFoxp 3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) and expressions of transcription factor forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3), cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA4), glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR), and Notch1 protein were evaluated by flow cytometry. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was conducted to detect acetylation level of histone H4 (H4Ac) associated with the promoter of Foxp3 gene and its binding abilities of Notch1 intracellular domain 1 (NICD1), recombination signal binding protein for immunoglobulin kappa J region (RBP-J) and p300 in CD4 + T cells. Transcription levels of Foxp3, presenilin 1 (PSEN1), mastermind like transcriptional coactivator 1 (MAML1), and RBP-J in CD4 + T cells were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Concentrations of interleukin (IL)-10 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in plasma and culture supernatant stimulated with Jagged1 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Independent-sample t-test, Pearson correlation analysis was used as the statistical method in this study. Results:① The frequencies of Treg in acute KD patients decreased significantly [(4.3±1.5)% vs (7.9±2.9)%; t=6.41, P<0.001], as protein levels of Foxp3, CTLA4 and GITR and concentrations of IL-10 and TGF-β in plasma reduced remarkably in acute KD patients ( t=6.87, P<0.001; t=4.26, P<0.001; t=7.88, P<0.001; t=8.42, P<0.001; t=13.01, P<0.001). All parameters afore-mentioned in patients combined with coronary artery lesions (CAL) were lower than those of patients without coronary artery lesions (NCAL) ( t=5.83, P<0.001; t=3.83, P<0.001; t=3.28, P=0.002; t=5.05, P<0.001; t=5.96, P<0.001; t=5.17, P<0.001), and increased after therapy ( t=7.13, P<0.001; t=6.10, P<0.001; t=4.31, P<0.001; t=6.55, P<0.001; t=7.40, P<0.001; t=7.84, P<0.001). ② H4Ac associated with promoter of Foxp3 gene and the binding abilities of NICD1 and p300 in acute KD patients were lower than those of the controls ( t=10.25, P<0.001; t=6.93, P<0.001; t=6.75, P<0.001), and increased remarkably after therapy ( t=7.72, P<0.001; t=4.16, P<0.001; t=5.76, P<0.001). Meanwhile, the three items in CAL group were found to be less than those of NCAL group ( t=6.08, P<0.001; t=2.66, P=0.011; t=6.02, P<0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between H4Ac associated with Foxp3 promoter and its mRNA level in acute KD patients ( r=0.47, P<0.001). No statistical significant difference about the binding ability of RBP-J with Foxp3 promoter were found among the groups ( t=0.57, P>0.05; t=0.61, P>0.05; t=1.20, P>0.05). ③ Protein level of Notch1 and the expressions of PSEN1, MAML1 and RBP-J mRNA in CD4 + T cells from acute KD patients were down-regulated remarkably ( t=5.28, P<0.001; t=6.31, P<0.001; t=11.78, P<0.001; t=8.06, P<0.001), and restored after therapy ( t=4.77, P<0.001; t=6.43, P<0.001; t=11.95, P<0.001; t=7.79, P<0.001). In parallel, the four indexes aforementioned of CAL group were lower than those of NCAL group ( t=3.16, P=0.003; t=4.13, P<0.001; t=5.42, P<0.001; t=4.05, P<0.001). Upon rhJagged1 stimulation for 48 hours, H4Ac level of Foxp3 promoter and its binding abilities with NICD1 and p300 in CD4 + T cells in KD patients and control group was significantly higher than those of untreated group [(KD: t=15.36, P<0.001; t=7.25, P<0.001; t=14.29, P<0.001), (Ctrl: t=7.87, P<0.001; t=5.71, P<0.001; t=8.74, P<0.001)], as the binding ability of RBP-J with Foxp3 promoter increased slightly without statistically significant difference (KD: t=1.11, P>0.05; Ctrl: t=1.37, P>0.05). Simultaneously, H4Ac level of Foxp3 promoter and its binding abilities with NICD1 and p300 in KD group were still lower than those of the control group after stimulation ( t=3.86, P<0.001; t=3.42, P=0.001; t=2.85, P=0.006). ④ After incubation of PBMC from heathy children with KD serum, the proportion of Treg cells, protein level of Foxp3 and expressions of Notch1 and RBP-J in CD4 + T cells in the group treated with IVIG increased significantly compared with the untreated group ( t=7.10, P<0.001; t=10.16, P<0.001; t=8.06, P<0.001; t=9.77, P<0.001), as well as H4Ac level of Foxp3 promoter and its binding abilities with NICD1 in the group treat with IVIG were also higher than the latter ( t=7.24, P<0.001; t=8.24, P<0.001). Conclusion:Insufficiency and impaired function of Treg caused by aberrant Notch1 signaling may be the important factor contributing to immune dysfunction and vascular damage in KD.

Objective:To investigate the changes and significance of granulocyte-like myeloid-derived suppressor cells (G-MDSC) in the acute phage of Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods:Forty-two children with acute KD were enrolled in the present study and 32 age-matched healthy children were selected as control group. The proportion of HLA-DR -CD11b + CD33 + CD14 -CD15 + G-MDSC, the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the expression of arginase-1 (Arg-1), programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA4), glycoprotein 130 (gp130) and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3) at protein level were detected by flow cytometry. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF-8), IL-6 receptor α subunit (IL-6Rα), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ), suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) and SOCS3 at mRNA level in G-MDSC. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed to detect the acetylation of histone H3 at the promoters of SOCS1 and SOCS3 genes. Plasma concentrations of IL-6 and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and protein levels of IL-10, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and nitric oxide (NO) in the culture supernatant of G-MDSC stimulated with LPS were measured by ELISA. Results:(1) Compared with the control group, the proportion of HLA-DR -CD11b + CD33 + CD14 -CD15 + G-MDSC as well as the concentration of ROS and the expression of inhibitory molecules (Arg-1, PD-L1 and CTLA4) in G-MDSC increased significantly in patients with acute KD ( P<0.05). Moreover, the concentrations of IL-10 and TGF-β in culture supernatant of G-MDSC were also higher than those of the control group after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide for 48 h ( P<0.05). All of the seven afore-mentioned indexes in KD patients with coronary artery lesion (CAL group ) were lower than those in patients without coronary artery lesion (NCAL group) ( P<0.05), and restored to some extent after IVIG therapy ( P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in iNOS expression or NO concentration in culture supernatant of G-MDSC among different groups ( P<0.05). (2) Plasma concentrations of IL-6 and G-CSF, and the expression of IL-6Rα, gp130, G-CSFR, pSTAT3 and C/EBPβ increased remarkably during acute phase of KD ( P<0.05). The expression of IRF-8 at transcription level in patients with acute KD was found to be lower than that of healthy controls ( P<0.05), and restored significantly after IVIG therapy ( P<0.05). Moreover, the plasma concentrations of IL-6 and G-CSF and the expression of IL-6Rα, gp130, G-CSFR and IRF-8 in the CAL group were higher than those in the NCAL group ( P<0.05), while the expression of pSTAT3 and C/EBPβ was lower in the CAL group ( P<0.05), which were restored by IVIG therapy ( P<0.05). (3) In patients with acute KD, the expression of SOCS1 and SOCS3 at mRNA level and histone acetylation at the promoters of SOCS1 and SOCS3 genes were reduced significantly in comparison with those in healthy controls ( P<0.05) , but were increased remarkably after IVIG treatment( P<0.05). The four indexes were higher in the CAL group than in the NCAL group ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed the expression of SOCS1 and SOCS3 was negatively correlated with the protein level of pSTAT3 in G-MDSC of patients with acute KD ( r=-0.46 and -0.32, P<0.05). Conclusions:Changes in the number and function of G-MDSC caused by aberrant histone acetylation at SOCS1 and SOCS3 genes might contribute to the immune dysfunction and vascular damage in patients with KD.

Objective:To investigate the changes of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSC) in children with acute Kawasaki disease (KD) and its roles in the immunological pathogenesis of KD.Methods:A total of 38 children with acute KD were enrolled in the present study and 32 age-matched healthy children were selected as control group. The proportions of HLA-DR -CD11b + CD33 + CD15 -CD14 + M-MDSC and CD4 + CD25 + CD127 - regulatory T cells (Treg) in peripheral blood, concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and expression of arginase-1 (Arg-1), CD39, CD73, CD40, CD40L and CCR5 at protein levels were detected by flow cytometry. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to evaluate the transcription levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in M-MDSC and the transcription levels of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA4) and lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3) in Treg. Concentrations of NO, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, IL-10 and TGF-β in the supernatants of cell culture were measured by ELISA. Results:(1) The proportion of HLA-DR -CD11b + CD33 + CD15 -CD14 + M-MDSC, the concentration of intracellular ROS and the expression of iNOS, CD39 and CD73 in M-MDSC decreased significantly in patients with acute KD as compared with those in the control group ( P<0.05), and the concentrations of NO, IL-10 and TGF-β in culture supernatant of M-MDSC were lower than those in the control group upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation for 48 h ( P<0.05). All of the aforementioned indexes restored to some extent after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy ( P<0.05). No statistical differences were found in Arg-1 expression between healthy controls and patients with KD before or after IVIG therapy ( P<0.05). (2) CD40 expression on M-MDSC was significantly lower in the acute KD group than in the control group ( P<0.05). The concentrations of CCL3, CCL4 and CCL5 in the culture supernatants of M-MDSC were lower in the acute KD group than in the control group after LPS stimulation ( P<0.05). With IVIG treatment, all of the indexes were up-regulated significantly ( P<0.05), although CD40 expression was still lower in the acute KD group than in the control group ( P<0.05). (3) The proportion of CD4 + CD25 + CD127 -Treg and the expression of CTLA4, LAG3, CD40L and CCR5 reduced significantly in patients with acute KD as compared those in healthy controls ( P<0.05), and all increased remarkably after IVIG therapy ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the proportions of M-MDSC and Treg in patients with acute KD ( r=0.58, P<0.05). Conclusions:Insufficiency and impaired function of M-MDSC might be a major cause of immune dysfunction in patients with acute KD.

Objective:To analyse the effect of preoperative renal function classification on early outcomes for patients with acute type A aortic dissection(AAAD) and to estimate the risk factors of postoperative major adverse events.Methods:From January 2012 to December 2019, 226 patients with AAAD who underwent total arch replacement at our institution were retrospectively analysed, including 146 males and 80 females, aged(54.4±12.5) years old. Stages of preoperative renal function were defined as follows: Normal[estimated glomerular ltration rate(eGFR)≥90 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, 68 cases], Mild(eGFR 60-89 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, 73 cases); Moderate(eGFR 30-59 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, 57 cases), Severe(eGFR<30 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, 28 cases). The independent risk factors for postoperative death were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the efficiency of eGFR for predicting the postoperative hemodialysis. Results:In-hospital death occurred in 24(10.6%) cases. Major complications included postoperative hemodialysis in 49(21.7%) cases, stroke in 19(8.4%) cases and tracheotomy in 15(6.6%) cases. The best cut-off value of the eGFR for predicting postoperative hemodialysis was 36.5 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2(area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.793). The following variables were found to be risk factors of in-hospital mortality in multivariate logistic regression analysis: serum creatinine, eGFR<30 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, neural malperfusion, bowel malperfusion, postoperative stroke and hemodialysis. Conclusion:Total arch replacement can be safely performed in patients with AAAD and mild renal dysfunction. Preoperative renal dysfunction is a risk factor for postoperative hemodialysis, and eGFR is useful for predicting the requirement for hemodialysis after total arch replacement. The severity of preoperative renal dysfunction could greatly influence the outcomes after total arch replacement for AAAD. More importance should be attached to the assessment of preoperative renal function during clinical risk assessment.

Osteosarcoma is a kind of primary malignant tumor of bone originated from mesenchymal tissue, which mainly occurs in children and adolescents, and presents the characteristics of high malignancy, rapid growth, early metastasis and poor prognosis. Currently, most of the studies at home and abroad mainly focused on therapeutic procedures. However, reliable prediction indices or evaluation systems are also pivotal for monitoring disease change, guiding treatment and evaluating prognosis. Multiple clinical predictors have been reported to be related to the prognosis of osteosarcoma, which can be roughly divided into 9 categories according to their characteristics. Each kind of predictor owns its inherent advantage and disadvantage, and full understanding of them and their characteristics can be helpful to improve the prognosis of osteosarcoma.
