Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of neonatal chylothorax.Methods:The clinical data of newborns diagnosed with chylothorax from June 2016 to June 2023 in Neonatal Center of Beijing Children's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and divided into congenital group and acquired group according to the pathogenesis of chylothorax. The clinical characteristics, treatment methods and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Results:A total of 23 cases were included, including 17 cases (73.9%) in the congenital group and 6 cases (26.1%) in the acquired group. There was no significant difference in gender, gestational age and birth weight between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the acquired group, the proportion of lymphocytes (97.0% vs. 85.0%), the use of erythromycin (7/17 vs. 1/6) and octreotide (9/17 vs. 1/6) and special formula milk feeding (13/17 vs. 2/6) were higher in the congenital group; the proportion of right hydrothorax (1/17 vs. 3/6), invasive mechanical ventilation (6/17 vs. 6/6) and breastfeeding (0/17 vs. 3/6) were lower in the congenital group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in terms of the white blood cell count in pleural fluid and plasma protein content, incidence of bilateral and left pleural fluid, proportion of closed thoracic drainage, maximum daily drainage volume, drainage duration, total drainage volume, albumin utilization rate, length of stay and survival rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). 18 cases of pleural effusion absorption without recurrence after conservative treatment; 5 cases died, of which 4 cases died after their parents abandoned treatment, and 1 case died of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis after thoracic duct ligation surgery. Conclusions:Congenital chylothorax and acquired chylothorax were similar in severity, course of disease and overall prognosis. The utilization rate of erythromycin and octreotide in congenital chylothorax was higher than that in acquired chylothorax. The neonatal chylothorax is usually with an overall good prognosis.

Objective:To carry out genetic analysis on two families with carriers of small terminal translocations using karyotyping analysis and genomic copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq).Methods:Two couples undergoing prenatal diagnosis at the Tianjin Central Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology respectively on April 12, 2020 and December 17, 2021 were selected as the study subjects. With informed consent, amniotic fluid and peripheral blood samples were collected and subjected to conventional karyotyping and CNV-seq analysis for the detection of chromosomal microdeletion/duplications.Results:Both couples had given births to children with chromosomal aberrations previously, and both fetuses were found to have abnormal karyotypes. CNV-seq showed that they had harbored microdeletion/duplications, and their mothers had both carried balanced translocations involving terminal fragments of chromosomes.Conclusion:For fetuses with small chromosomal segmental abnormalities, their parental origin should be traced, and the diagnosis should be confirmed with combined genetic techniques.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of brusatol on the malignant biological behavior of ovarian cancer cells by regulating the sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1)/sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)/sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 (S1PR3) signaling pathway. METHODS Human ovarian cancer cell strain SKOV-3 were randomly divided into control group, brusatol group, SPHK1 overexpression group, brusatol+blank load group, brusatol+SPHK1 overexpression group. The cell viability, colony formation rate, the number of migration and invasion, apoptosis rate, the expressions of cell proliferation-related proteins [myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (C-myc)], apoptosis-related proteins [B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax)], epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins (E-cadherin, N-cadherin) and SPHK1, S1P, S1PR3 proteins were all detected in each group. Transplanted tumor model of nude mice was constructed by using SKOV-3 cells and randomly separated into control group, brusatol low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups, SPHK1 overexpression group, high- dose brusatol+blank load group, and high-dose brusatol+SPHK1 overexpression group; the growth of transplanted tumors were detected. The nude mice model of SKOV-3 transplantation tumor was randomly divided into control group, brusatol group, SPHK1 overexpression group, brusatol+blank load group, and brusatol+SPHK1 overexpression group; the proliferation and apoptosis of transplanted tumor tissue, the expressions of EMT-related Δ 基金项目江西省中医药管理局科技计划项目(No.2023B0762) *第一作者 副主任药师 。研究方向 :药学研究及药理学 。E- proteins and SPHK1/S1P/S1PR3 signaling pathway proteins mail:jsgj2023@126.com were detected in each group.

Mice experiments in vivo had shown that compared with the control group, the transplanted tumor volumes of nude mice in the brusatol low-dose, medium- dose and high-dose groups were decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner after 21 days of intervention (P<0.05). Brusatol of high dose could also significantly reduce the protein expressions of C-myc, Bcl-2, N-cadherin, SPHK1, S1P and S1PR3 in transplanted tumor tissue of nude mice (P<0.05), and significantly increase the protein expressions of Bax and E- cadherin (P<0.05); overexpression of SPHK1 could weaken the effects of brusatol on the above indicators in transplanted tumor tissue of nude mice. CONCLUSIONS Brusatol can inhibit the proliferation, cloning, EMT, migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells, and induce their apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of SPHK1/S1P/S1PR3 signaling pathway. It can also inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cells in nude mice, ultimately suppressing their malignant biological behavior and exerting significant anti-cancer effects on ovarian cancer.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and temporal spatial clustering of hand, foot, and mouth disease in Hubei Province from 2010 to 2023, and to provide evidence for formulating prevention and control measures. Methods Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the surveillance data of hand, foot, and mouth disease of Hubei Province from 2010 to 2023, and spatial clustering analysis was conducted at the district/county level using ArcGIS 10.5 software. Results A total of 1 007 600 cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease were reported from 2010 to 2023, and the average annual incidence rate was 123.60/100 000. Overall , it exhibited a cyclical pattern of high incidence every other year. Except for a few years, two peaks of incidence were observed each year, , with the first peak occurring between April to July and the second occurring in October to December, and the popular season was concentrated from April to July. Children aged < 5 years were primarily affected, with a high incidence in male patients (1.53:1). The incidence of hand, foot, and mouth disease showed a positive spatial autocorrelation(Moran's I was between 0.15 to 0.76, P<0.05)at the district/county level. The hot spots were concentrated in the northwest and southeast of Hubei Province, and the cool spots were concentrated in the east of central Hubei Province. Conclusion The incidence of hand, foot, and mouth disease has obvious seasonality and spatial clustering in Hubei Province. The key prevention and control areas are concentrated in the northwest and southeast of Hubei. Enhanced prevention and control measures should be targeted on children under 5 years old and key areas to effectively reduce the occurrence of cases.

Objectives:To investigate the rate and risk factors of tip displacement of umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) in preterm infants.Methods:This was a multicenter cohort study. Study population were preterm infants admitted to 44 tertiary hospitals in China between October 2019 and August 2021. Demographic information, general clinical data, UVC indwelling conditions and related complications were collected. The primary outcome was the rate of UVC tip displacement. The observation time points were 2 d and 7 d after UVC. They were grouped according to UVC displacement, gestational age, and birth weight. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of UVC tip displacement.Results:The 2 086 preterm infants had a gestational age of (29.9±2.3) weeks and a birth weight of (1 248±298) g. There were 1 106 male preterm infants (53.0%). The rate of UVC displacement at 2 d and 7 d were 34.6% (721/2 086) and 33.6% (494/1 470), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.35, P=0.533). Univariate analysis indicated that male infants, small gestational age, low birth weight and small catheter diameter were all risk factors for UVC tip displacement at the 2 d time point (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that small catheter diameter was an independent risk factor for tip displacement at both 2 d ( OR=0.47, 95% CI 0.34-0.66) and 7 d ( OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.25-0.59) time points (both P<0.001). Conclusions:The rate of UVC tip displacement is high in preterm infants. It should be avoided to deliberately select a small diameter catheter for UVC, and pay attention to the imaging monitoring of the tip position after UVC.
