Objective:To investigate the correlation between the waiting time for radiotherapy after induction chemotherapy and the prognosis of locally intermediate and advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, as well as its optimal time.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 101 patients with locally intermediate and advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma admitted to the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from 2017 to 2020 was performed. All patients received at least 2 courses of induction chemotherapy followed by radical radiotherapy. The waiting time for radiotherapy was defined as the time from the end of induction chemotherapy to the start of the first radiotherapy. The relationship between waiting time for radiotherapy and other factors (age, gender and stage, etc.) with progression-free survival (PFS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) was analyzed through Cox model. The median waiting time for radiotherapy with 3 weeks was used as the boundary, and all patients were divided into ≤3 weeks and>3 weeks groups. The PFS, LRFS and DMFS between two groups were compared using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. P<0.05 was considered as statistical significance. Results:Cox-regression analysis showed that the waiting time was correlated with PFS, LRFS, and DMFS (all P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis suggested that the PFS, LRFS and DMFS in the ≤3 weeks group were significantly better than those in the >3 weeks group (all P<0.05). Under the premises of the T 3 stage, N 2 stage and the increased EB virus DNA replication levels before treatment, the PFS, LRFS and DMFS in the ≤3 weeks group were significantly better than those in the >3 weeks group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The waiting time for radiotherapy is one of the factors affecting clinical prognosis of locally intermediate and advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The earlier the time, the better the prognosis. Radiotherapy should be delivered within 3 weeks.

Objective:To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA Wilms tumor 1 associated protein pseudogene 1(WTAPP1)on the proliferation,invasion,migration and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway of nephroblastoma cells. Methods:Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the relative expression level of WTAPP1 in 48 cases of nephroblastoma tumor tissues and their matched adjacent tissues,human nephroblastoma cells(SK-NEP-1)and normal renal epithelial cells(PCS-400-01 0,PCS-400-011 and PCS-400-01 2).The clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of nephroblastoma patients with high or low WTAPP1 expression of were analyzed and compared.SK-NEP-1 cells were infected with lentivirus carrying the full-length WTAPP]gene(WTAPP1 overexpression)or shRNA targeting WTAPP1(shWTAPP1).Then,colony formation assay and CCK-8 assay were used to assess the proliferation of SK-NEP-1 cells,wound healing assay and Transwell assay were used to evaluate the migration and invasion activity of SK-NEP-1 cells respectively,and Western blotting was used to examine the relative expression levels of Wnt3a,β-catenin,C-myc and Survivin proteins. Results:The relative expression level of WTAPP1 in cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues(P＜0.05).The relative expression level of WTAPP1 in SK-NEP-1 cells was higher than that in normal renal epithelial cells(PCS-400-01 0,PCS-400-01 1 and PCS-400-01 2;P＜0.05).WTAPP1 expression was associated with the clinical stages of nephroblastoma(P＜0.05)but not with the age,gender,tumor diameter or lymph node metastasis of nephroblastoma patients(all P＞0.05).The 5-year survival rate of WTAPP1-high patients was significantly lower than that of WTAPP1-low patients(P＜0.05).The proliferation,migration and invasion activities of SK-NEP-1 cells were significantly increased after WTAPP1 overexpression(all P＜0.05)while decreased after WTAPP1 silencing(all P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of Wnt3a,β-catenin,C-myc and Survivin proteins were significantly upregulated after WTAPP1 overexpression(all P＜0.05)while decreased after WTAPP1 silencing(all P＜0.05). Conclusion:WTAPP1 is correlated with the clinical stages and prognosis of nephroblastoma patients and may promote the proliferation,invasion and migration of tumor cells by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the clinical phenotype and prognosis among different genotypes of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis(PFIC) by cases analysis.Methods:The PFIC cases diagnosed at Beijing Children′s Hospital from 2015 to 2022 were collected, and the clinical phenotypic characteristics, treatment and prognosis were compared and analyzed.Results:A total of 628 cases of cholestatic liver disease were diagnosed, and 26 cases of PFIC were found, accounting for 4.1%.The number of PFIC 2 were the most, 14(53.8%)cases; three(11.5%) cases were PFIC 1; five(19.2%)cases were PFIC 3; while two(7.7%) cases were PFIC 4 and PFIC 6, respectively, and there was no case of PFIC 5.Type 1, 2, 4, and 6 had early onset ages(2 days to 21 months), while type 3 had a wide range of onset ages(8 to 145 months). The symptoms included jaundice(96.2%), pruritus(42.3%), and mucosal bleeding(15.4%). All three cases of type 1 had extrahepatic manifestations of diarrhea and malnutrition.Two cases of type 3 were found to have end-stage liver disease.Cases of PFIC 3 had increased serum γ-glutamyltransferase(97.2-439.5 U/L), while those of other types were normal.The bile acids were all increased(10.1-599.6 μmol/L). Abdominal ultrasound mainly showed liver enlargement(80.8%)and enhanced echogenicity of liver parenchyma(73.1%), enlargement of the spleen(61.5%). Ultrasound liver elastography ranged from 6.3 kPa to 23.1 kPa, there were 21(80.8%) cases ≥9 kPa.Among 26 cases, one case was lost to follow-up, and 11 cases were effective by oral medication alone.Fourteen children were still suffering from relapse or progress after drug treatment: four cases received liver transplantation (three cases had a good prognosis and one case died), two cases received biliary drainage, six cases were still taking drugs orally, and two cases died without active intervention in disease progress.Conclusion:Type 2 is the most common type in PFIC.The onset of most cases is in infancy.Jaundice, pruritus and hepatosplenomegaly are common clinical manifestations, and extrahepatic manifestations can be seen in type 1 cases.Type 3 cases can start with end-stage liver disease.Bile acid of all cases are increased.Except for type 3, the serum γ-glutamyltransferase of cases are normal.Oral medication has certain effects on some cases, but more than half progress, and some need biliary diversion or liver transplantation.

Cow′s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is one of the most common presentations of food allergy seen in early childhood.It is an abnormal immune response caused by cow′s milk protein.CMPA can be clinically subdivided into either immediate-onset IgE mediated or delayed onset non-IgE mediated, or both.At present, concerns regarding the early and timely diagnosis of CMPA have been high-lighted over the years and there are many expert consensus on CMPA in China, but these consensus did not distinguish IgE mediated or non-IgE mediated CMPA.In view of the obvious clinical differences between the two type of CMPA and non-IgE mediated CMPA is more common in infancy, experts focus on pediatric gastroenterology, allergy/immunology, dermatology, nutrition and child healthcare convened by the Allergy Prevention and Control Professional Committee of Chinese Preventive Medicine Association present this guideline to help practitioners in primary care settings to early recognize and make suitable management of non-IgE mediated CMPA in China.The guideline incorporates the cutting-edge international guidance and the actual situation of Chinese children describing in detail the types, clinical features, diagnosis and nutritional intervention of non-IgE mediated CMPA.There are 42 recommendations in 7 categories in total referring to the common questions related to non-IgE mediated CMPA.

Objective:To investigate the application value of Hisense computer-assisted surgery system (CAS) three-dimensional reconstruction in the precision treatment of pediatric liver tumors.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 82 children with liver tumors who were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2013 to September 2021 were collected. There were 39 males and 43 females, aged 13(19)months. Children underwent upper abdominal dynamic enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination, and three-dimensional reconstruction was performed on CT images of arterial, equili-brium and venous phases with Hisense CAS. Surgical feasibility and scheme were evaluated and conducted based on the results of upper abdominal dynamic enhanced CT examination, and then revised according to three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS. Observation indicators: (1) comparison of surgical scheme between two-dimensional enhanced CT images and three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS; (2) intraoperative and postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination to detect postoperative compli-cations and residual liver compensation up to November 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(IQR) or M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. Results:(1) Comparison of surgical scheme between two-dimensional CT images and three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS. ① Based on the two-dimensional CT images, 42 cases of 82 children could undergo one-stage resection and 40 children could not. However, based on the three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS, 48 cases of 82 children could undergo one-stage resection and 34 children could not. There were 6 children with one-stage resection feasibility based on the three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS rather than the two-dimensional CT images. For the 34 children undergoing chemotherapy firstly, 31 cases had surgical feasibility after chemotherapy based on the two-dimensional CT images and 3 cases could not undergo surgery because of unapparent tumor regression or tumor surrounding impor-tant vessels. However, the 34 children had surgical feasibility after chemotherapy based on the three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS. The revision rate of surgical feasibility was 11.0%(9/82) for the 82 children. ② Based on the two-dimensional CT images, 15 cases of 82 children underwent liver left lobectomy, 21 cases underwent liver right lobectomy, 7 cases underwent mesohepatectomy, 13 cases underwent extended left hemihepatectomy, 23 cases underwent extended right hemihepatectomy, 3 cases underwent segmental hepatectomy. However, based on the three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS, 20 cases of 82 children underwent liver left lobectomy, 29 cases underwent liver right lobectomy, 7 cases underwent mesohepatectomy, 7 cases underwent extended left hemihepatectomy, 14 cases underwent extended right hemihepatectomy, 5 cases underwent segmental hepatectomy. The revision rate of surgical scheme was 36.6%(30/82) for the 82 children. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations. The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay of the 82 children were (182±18)minutes, 20(10)mL, (10.2±1.9)days, respectively. (3) Follow-up. All the 82 children were followed up for 10 (range, 2?18)months. There was no obvious complication occurred to the 82 children after surgery, and the residual liver can satisfy the liver compensation of body. All the children survived well.Conclusion:Three-dimensional reconstruction of Hisense CAS is conducive to judging the surgical feasibility and formulation of accurate surgical plan of children with liver tumors.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Kirschner wire reconstruction of periosteal hinge combined with "rolling pin" technique assisting closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation versus closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of flexion-radial deviated supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 85 patients with flexion-radial deviated supracondylar fracture of the humerus treated in Anhui Provincial Children ′s Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021, including 53 males and 32 females; aged 4-14 years [(7.4±2.7)years]. There were 49 patients treated by Kirschner wire reconstruction of periosteal hinge combined with "rolling pin" technique assisting closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation (study group) and 36 patients by closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation (control group). The operation time, number of intraoperative fluoroscopy, rate of incision after failure of closed reduction (hereinafter referred to as rate of incision), fracture healing time, and elbow joint function by Flynn score at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups. Complications were observed at 2 months after operation, such as infection and irritation of the Kirschner pin tail. Results:All patients were followed up for 2-12 months [(6.2±2.2)months]. The operation time and number of intraoperative fluoroscopy was (62.4±21.4)minutes and (34.8±7.1)times in control group, significantly longer or more than (31.2±14.1)minutes and (22.5±5.1) times in study group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The incision rate was 17% in control group, but was 0 in study group ( P<0.01). The fracture healing time had no significant difference between control group and study group [(4.5±0.8)weeks vs. (4.6±0.6)weeks] ( P>0.05). According to Flynn score at the last follow-up, the excellent and good rate of elbow function was 89% in control group (excellent in 26 patients, good in 6, fair in 4, poor in none), not significantly different from 94% in study group (excellent in 41 patients, good in 5, fair in 3, poor in none) ( P>0.05). There was no infection or irritation of the Kirschner pin tail in the two groups at 2 months after operation. Conclusion:Kirschner wire reconstruction of periosteal hinge combined with "rolling pin" technique assisting closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation has similar effect to closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of flexion-radial deviated supracondylar fracture of the humerus, but the former has relatively shorter operation time, less intraoperative fluoroscopy and lower incision rate.

Genome mining for the search and discovery of two new globin-like enzymes, TriB fromFusarium poae and TutaA from Schizophyllum commne, are involved in the synthesis of two linear terpenes tricinonoic acid (1) and 2-butenedioic acid (3). Both in vivo heterologous biosynthesis and in vitro biochemical assays showed that these two enzymes catalyzed the C-C double bond cleavage of a cyclic sesquiterpene precursor (-)-germacrene D (7) and a linear diterpene backbone schizostain (2), respectively. Our work presents an unusual formation mechanism of linear terpenes from fungi and expands the functional skills of globin-like enzymes in the synthesis of terpene compounds.
