H 1-antihistamines are widely used in the treatment of various allergic diseases, but there are still many challenges in the safe and rational use of H 1-antihistamines in pediatrics, and there is a lack of guidance on the prescription review of H 1-antihistamines for children.In this paper, suggestions are put forward from the indications, dosage, route of administration, pathophysiological characteristics of children with individual difference and drug interactions, so as to provide reference for clinicians and pharmacists.

Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) are the main therapy for epilepsy.There are many kinds of ASMs with complex mechanism of action, so it is difficult for pharmacists to examine prescriptions.This paper put forward some suggestions on the indications, dosage forms/routes of administration, appropriateness of usage and dosage, combined medication and drug interaction, long-term prescription review, individual differences in pathophysiology of children, and drug selection when complicated with common epilepsy, for the reference of doctors and pharmacists.

The transcription factor nuclear factor of kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) is expressed in brown adipocytes, but its role remains largely unknown in the cells. This issue was addressed in current study by examining NF-κB in brown adipocytes in vitro and in vivo. NF-κB activity was increased by differentiation of brown adipocytes through elevation of p65 (RelA) expression. The transcriptional activity of NF-κB was induced by the cold stimulation with an elevation in S276 phosphorylation of p65 protein. Inactivation of NF-κB in brown adipocytes made the knockout mice [uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1)-CreER-p65^f/f, U-p65-KO] intolerant to the cold environment. The brown adipocytes exhibited an increase in apoptosis, a decrease in cristae density and uncoupling activity in the interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) of p65-KO mice. The alterations became severer after cold exposure of the KO mice. The brown adipocytes of mice with NF-κB activation (p65 overexpression, p65-OE) exhibited a set of opposite alterations with a reduction in apoptosis, an increase in cristae density and uncoupling activity. In mechanism, NF-κB inhibited expression of the adenine nucleotide translocase 2 (ANT2) in the control of apoptosis. Data suggest that NF-κB activity is increased in brown adipocytes by differentiation and cold stimulation to protect the cells from apoptosis through down-regulation of ANT2 expression.

Antipyretic-analgesics are currently one of the most prescribed drugs in children.The clinical application of antipyretic-analgesics for children in our country still have irrational phenomenon, which affects the therapeutic effect and even poses hidden dangers to the safety of children.In this paper, suggestions were put forward from the indications, dosage form/route, dosage suitability, pathophysiological characteristics of children with individual differences and drug interactions in the symptomatic treatment of febrile children, so as to provide reference for the general pharmacists when conducting prescription review.

Background: There is an urgent need to find reliable and rapid bovine tuberculosis (bTB) diagnostics in response to the rising prevalence of bTB worldwide. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) recognizes components of bTB and initiates antigen-presenting cells to mediate humoral immunity. Evaluating the affinity of antigens with TLR2 can form the basis of a new method for the diagnosis of bTB based on humoral immunity. Objectives: To develop a reliable and rapid strategy to improve diagnostic tools for bTB. Methods: In this study, we expressed and purified the sixteen bTB-specific recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli. The two antigenic proteins, MPT70 and MPT83, which were most valuable for serological diagnosis of bTB were screened. Molecular docking technology was used to analyze the affinity of MPT70, MPT83, dominant epitope peptide of MPT70 (M1), and dominant epitope peptide MPT83 (M2) with TLR2, combined with the detection results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to evaluate the molecular docking effect. Results: The results showed that interaction surface Cα-atom root mean square deviation of proteins (M1, M2, MPT70, MPT83)-TLR2 protein are less than 2.5 A, showing a high affinity.It is verified by clinical serum samples that MPT70, MPT83, MPT70-MPT83 showed good diagnostic potential for the detection of anti-bTB IgG and M1, M2 can replace the whole protein as the detection antigen. Conclusions Molecular docking to evaluate the affinity of bTB protein and TLR2 combined with ELISA provides new insights for the diagnosis of bTB.

Fourier IR spectrometer ，DSC and vibration sample magnetic measuring instrument were used to characterize NGO/IONP and GA-CS. GA-DTX-NGO/IONP-NPs Huperzine A in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alleviates Aβ -induced 1-42 treatment of Alzheimer ’s disease and vascular dementia ：a neurotoxicity via downregulation of p 38 and JNK MAPK meta-analysis[J]. Evid Based Complement Alternat Med ， signaling pathways[J]. Neurochem Int ，2018. DOI ：10. 2014. DOI ：10.1155/2014/363985. 1016/j.neuint.2018.09.005. were prepared by the ion gelation method. TEM and particle size analyzer were used to observe and determine the morphology ， particle size and Zeta potential of GA-DTX-NGO/IONP-NPs ；the ultrafiltration-centrifugation method was used to determine encapsulation efficiency and drug loading amount ；the magnetic properties were investigated by investigating the state with or without external magnetic field ；the photothermal conversion test was carried out with laser irradiation of 808 nm. RESULTS ：NGO/ IONP and GA-CS were successfully synthesized ，and NGO/IONP exhibited superparamagnetism characteristics. GA-DTX-NGO/ IONP-NPs were spherical under TEM ，the particle size was （262.8±4.23）nm and the Zeta potential was （13.6±1.51）mV. The encapsulation rate and drug loading amount were （94.29±0.50）％ and（17.12±0.12）％，respectively. GA-DTX-NGO/IONP-NPs were black in appearance and evenly dispersed. Under the external magnetic field ，the magnetic nanoparticles could move directionally，showing good magnetic properties. GA-DTX-NGO/IONP-NPs showed a good concentration- and time-dependent photothermal conversion effect under 808 nm laser irradiation. CONCLUSIONS ：GA-DTX-NGO/IONP-NPs are successfully prepared. This study could provide some theoretical basis for the combined treatment of magnetic heating-chemotherapy for liver tumors.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of infantile Takayasu arteritis and the efficacy of infliximab (IFX).Methods:Clinical manifestations, laboratory investigations and infliximab intervention of a case with infantile Takayasu arteritis, who was admitted to Department of Rheumatism and Immunology, Children′s Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics in January 2018, were reviewed and analyzed. The related literature published from the beginning to March 2020 were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, SinoMed and PubMed with the keywords of"Takayasu arteritis","Infant" in both Chinese and English.Results:This case was a 70-day-old boy admitted due to recurrent fever for 20 days. On admission, his blood pressure were 104/90, 95/59, 125/80, and 152/125 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) in the right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg, respectively. The complete blood cell count showed leukocytosis (22.6×10 9/L), thrombocytosis (858×10 9/L) and mild anemia (80 g/L). He also had elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (119 mm/1h), serum ferritin (598 μg/L) and C-reactive protein (112 mg/L). Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) showed narrowing of the thoracic and abdominal aorta, with thickening and heterogenous enhancement of the vessel wall. Coronary artery ultrasound detected dilatation and wall thickening of the bilateral coronary arteries, and uneven dilatation of the middle segment of the right coronary artery, showing bead-like change. Vessel wall thickening was also found in the other main arteries, including both femoral arteries, axillary arteries, carotid arteries, and subclavian arteries, and both superficial femoral arteries were slightly narrowed in the distal segments. The diagnosis of TA was confirmed, and the boy was treated with infliximab monotherapy (5 mg/(kg·every time), a total of 13 times). Then his body temperature and all inflammatory markers were normalized, and the vascular pathology was resolved according to the radiography. No side effects such as allergy or infection were noted during the treatment. During the 2 years and 6 months of follow-up, the boy maintained normal growth and development. Literature review found 8 related articles, and one of them was in Chinese but had limited information. In the other 7 papers, a total of 7 infants with TA were reported. The most common symptom was fever (5 cases), and inflammatory markers usually elevated, and the most common affected artery was abdominal aorta (6 cases). Most cases were treated with glucocorticoid. Conclusions:TA is a rare disease in infants, usually presents with fever and increased inflammatory markers. At the early stage, infliximab monotherapy could effectively control the symptoms and ensure normal growth and development.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of Beh?et's disease (BD) in children with gastrointestinal involvement. Methods We retrospectively analyze the children BD with gastrointestinal involvement who were diagnosed in our hospital in recent 10 years. Results Twenty-two children were identified. The average age of onset was(6.1±4.0) years. The time from disease onset to clinical diagnosis was (1.2±2.1) years on average. Fifteen children had abdominal pain, diarrhea and hematochezia. Seven cases had positive endoscopic findings without any gastrointestinal symptoms. Twenty cases received corticosteroids therapy, 13 cases of them were treated with Cyclophosphamide/Methotrexate (CTX/MTX), 3 refractory cases were treated with biologics. Patients were followed up for (28±32) month on average. Eight patients' condition was stable, 7 patients were refractory, 3 patients died, 4 patients were lost to follow-up. At the same term, 5 patients without gastrointestinal involvement who received corticosteroids and CTX/MTX therapy were stable. Conclusion It is difficult to diagnose children BD at early stage. Gastrointestinal involvement may not be found, while the gastrointestinal endoscopy is of great importance in the diagnosis of the disease. Gluco-corticoid combined with immunosuppressive agents are effective. As to refractory patients, biological agent might be used although the recurrence is common. Compared with BD without gastrointestinal involvement, children BD with gastrointestinal involvement have serious condition and poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) combined with interleukin-12 (IL-12) genes on apoptosis of hepatoma cells.Methods The hepatoma cell lines were cultured in vitro and were divided into four groups: GM-CSF transfection group,IL-12 transfection group,GM-CSF and IL-12 co-transfection group,negative control group (empty load group),respectively.The PIB-CMV3-GM-CSF and PIB-CMV3-IL-12 eukayotic expression vector was built,and 36 h after transfection,fluorescence microscope was used to detect the transfection effect;the expression level of IL-12,GM-CSF,p53,p38 and C-JUN mRNA were detected by RT-PCR,and Western blot was used to examine the expression level of IL-12,GM-CSF,p53,p38 and C-JUN protein.In addition,the flow cytometry was applied to detect cell apoptosis.Results Through fluorescence microscope,green fluorescence was observed in cells of GM-CSF transfection group,IL-12 transfection group,GM-CSF and IL-12 co-transfection group,indicating that the plasmid has successfully transferred into cells.In addition,the expression of p53mRNA in empty load group,GM-CSF transfection group,IL-12 transfection group,GM-CSF and IL-12 co-transfection group were 1.2±0.10,4.3±0.98,4.2±0.34,9.2±0.87,and the protein expression were 1.0±0.10,3.6±0.34,3.8±0.30,5.0±0.60.Compared with the empty load group,the expression level of p53 mRNA and protein were significantly increased in the three plasmid transfection groups (P<0.01).The expression of p53 mRNA and protein were significantly increased in co-transfection group than GM-CSF group and IL-12 group (P<0.01),while in the comparison with GM-CSF transfection group and IL-12 transfection group,the expression level of p53mRNA and protein in the co-transfection group could be improved to a higher degree(P<0.01).Meanwhile,p38 C-JUN mRNA expression levels in empty load group,GM-CSF transfection group,IL-12 transfection group,GM-CSF and IL-12 co-transfection group were as follows: 7.5± 0.9,3.5±0.45,3.7±0.25,1.0±0.11,while p38protein expression levels were 10.1±1.03,6.1± 0.67,7.1 ± 0.61,1.0 ± 0.12,respectively,C-JUN mRNA expression levels were 11.2 ± 1.20,4.1 ± 0.19,3.3 ± 0.30,1.0 ± 0.01,separately,C-JUN protein expression levels were 2.25 ± 0.2,1.8 ± 0.13,1.4 ± 0.12,1.0 ± 0.09.P38, C-JUN mRNA and protein levels were significantly reduced in the three plasmid transfection groups compared with the empty load group (P<0.01).The expression of p38,C-JUN mRNA and protein were reduced to a lower degree in co-transfection group than in GM-CSF transfection group and IL-12 transfection group (P<0.01).Flow cytometer showed that the hepatoma cell apoptosis rate of the empty load group,GM-CSF transfection group,IL-12 transfection group,co-transfection group were (3.43±0.9)%,(5.87±1.02)%,(7.32±1.1)%,(17.47±2.11)%,the rates of the three plasmid transfection groups were significantly higher than that of the empty load group (P<0.01).And the apoptosis rate was significantly increased in the co-transfected group compared with other plasmid groups (P<0.01). Conclusion The combination of GM-CSF and IL-12 could significantly accelerate the apoptosis of hepatoma cells by up-regulating the expression of p53,and down-regulating the expression of p38 and C-JUN.

Objective To explore the value of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) for the assessment of chronic renal injury. Methods Thirty-nine patients with clinical diagnosis of chronic renal injury (RI group) who underwent routine renal MRI and SWI examination were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into mild injured group (15 cases) and moderate to severe injured group (24 cases) by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). At the same time, 17 volunteers without chronic renal injury who had normal serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen were recruited as control group. All subjects underwent routine renal MRI and SWI examination. The ratios of cortex to medulla were measured and calculated in both kidneys' magnitude image and susceptibility weighted image, which were indicated as C/MMAG and C/MSWI. Independent sample t test was used to compare the differences of C/MMAG and C/MSWI between control group and RI group, and paired sample t test was used to compare the differences betweenC/MMAG and C/MSWI in each group. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the difference of C/MMAG and C/MSWI between the control group and the different RI groups. ROC was employed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of C/MMAG and C/MSWI in renal injury. Pearson linear correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between C/MMAG, C/MSWI and eGFR, Scr in patients with renal injury. Results The C/MMAG and C/MSWI in the RI group were 1.101±0.039 and 1.071±0.046, respectively. C/MSWI was obviously lower than C/MMAG, and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.056, P<0.01). There was no significant difference between C/MMAG and C/MSWI in the control group (P>0.05). The C/MMAG and C/MSWI in the RI group were obviously lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.564, 6.122;P<0.01).The C/MMAG and C/MSWI in the mild injured group and the moderate to severe injured group were significantly lower than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). While the differences of those between mild injured group and moderate to severe injured group showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). The area under ROC of C/MMAG and C/MSWI in diagnosis of renal injury were 0.853 and 0.952, respectively. C/MMAG was positively correlated with eGFR (r=0.460,P<0.01). Conclusions Susceptibility-weighted imaging can be used to assess chronic renal injury. Although it cannot reflect the degree of renal function damage, it has some value in the early diagnosis of mild renal injury.
