Malignant tumors in children are one of the most important diseases that threaten the health and quality of life of children and are the second most common cause of death in children.With the continuous improvement and progress of treatment technology, the long-term survival rate of children with tumor has been significantly improved, but both the disease itself and the treatment can impair the immune function of children, which makes them vulnerable to various infectious diseases and secondary serious complications, and even become a source of infection, endangering the health of others. Vaccination is the most cost-effective measure to prevent infectious diseases. For children with normal immune functions, the benefits of vaccination usually outweigh the disadvantages. However, there is a lack of detailed data on the vaccination situation, efficacy and safety of vaccine use for such immunocompromised tumor survivors, and there are no authoritative and uniform vaccination recommendations. This article reviewed and summarized the literature and consensus of some domestic and foreign scholars on current status of post-treatment vaccination status, efficacy and safety of vaccination for children with tumors after treatment, with the aim of providing a reference for the practice in this field in China.

Progressive functional deterioration in the cochlea is associated with age-related hearing loss (ARHL). However, the cellular and molecular basis underlying cochlear aging remains largely unknown. Here, we established a dynamic single-cell transcriptomic landscape of mouse cochlear aging, in which we characterized aging-associated transcriptomic changes in 27 different cochlear cell types across five different time points. Overall, our analysis pinpoints loss of proteostasis and elevated apoptosis as the hallmark features of cochlear aging, highlights unexpected age-related transcriptional fluctuations in intermediate cells localized in the stria vascularis (SV) and demonstrates that upregulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperon protein HSP90AA1 mitigates ER stress-induced damages associated with aging. Our work suggests that targeting unfolded protein response pathways may help alleviate aging-related SV atrophy and hence delay the progression of ARHL.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli（ETEC）infection can induce watery diarrhea，leading to dehydration，electrolyte disturbance，and even death in severe cases. Recombinant B subunit/inactivated whole-cell cholera（rBS/WC）vaccine is effective in preventing ETEC infectious diarrhea. On the basis of the latest evidence on etiology and epidemiology of ETEC，as well as the effectiveness，safety，and health economics of rBS/WC vaccine，National Clinical Research Center for Child Health（The Children’s Hospital，Zhejiang University School of Medicine）and Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention invited experts to develop expert consensus on rBS/WC vaccine in prevention of ETEC infectious diarrhea. It aims to provide the clinicians and vaccination professionals with guidelines on using rBS/WC vaccine to reduce the incidence of ETEC infectious diarrhea.

E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21(tripartite motif containing 21) plays an important role in regulating cell biological functions and clinical prognosis as oncogene or tumor suppressor in different types of tumors. However,the biological functions and molecular mechanism of TRIM21 in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) are still unclear.Our results showed that TRIM21 is highly expressed in moderately and well differentiated HPSCC, suggesting the role of TRIM21 in tumor differentiation. Overexpression and knockdown of TRIM21 inhibited or promoted cell proliferation and migration. Meanwhile, the expression of differentiation markers including KRT10 (keratin 10), IVL (involucrin) and TGM1 (transglutaminase 1) were increased and decreased upon TRIM21 overexpression or knockdown, respectively. The bioinformatics analysis of TRIM21 interacting protein identified by co-immunoprecipitation combined with mass spectrometry suggested that TRIM21 may be closely related to the regulation of cytoskeleton protein. We further demonstrated that TRIM21 interacted with KRT10. The inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide led to upregulation of KRT10 in TRIM21 overexpressing FaDu cells, and ectopic expression of TRIM21 enhanced the ubiquitination level of KRT10. In summary, our results suggest that TRIM21 may promote the HPSCC differentiation by mediating ubiquitination of cytoskeleton proteins to improve the protein stability.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of incretin-based therapies on body weight as the primary outcome, as well as on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) as secondary outcomes. Methods: Databases including Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.gov (www.clinicaltrials.gov) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Standard pairwise meta-analysis and network meta-analysis (NMA) were both carried out. The risk of bias (ROB) tool recommended by the Cochrane handbook was used to assess the quality of studies. Subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, meta-regression, and quality evaluation based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) were also performed. Results: A total of 292 trials were included in this study. Compared with placebo, dipeptidyl-peptidase IV inhibitors (DPP-4Is) increased weight slightly by 0.31 kg [95% confidence interval ( ): 0.05, 0.58] and had negligible effects on BMI and WC. Compared with placebo, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) lowered weight, BMI, and WC by -1.34 kg (95% : -1.60, -1.09), -1.10 kg/m (95% : -1.42, -0.78), and -1.28 cm (95% : -1.69, -0.86), respectively. Conclusion GLP-1 RAs were more effective than DPP-4Is in lowering the three indicators. Overall, the effects of GLP-1 RAs on weight, BMI, and WC were favorable.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of induced hypotension and hypotension in carotid endarterectomy (CEA).Methods Data of 1 486 patients who underwent CEA in multicenters from Aug 2012 to Aug 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.After screening,a total of 1 448 patients met the inclusion criteria.Induced hypertension and hypotension was used in all thees patients.Results 87.8％ of the patients were with severe carotid stenosis.The average operative time was (51.8 ± 6.1) min,and the internal carotid artery clamping time was (11.4 ± 3.1) min.After induced hypertension,the stump pressure were higher than that before,of which 1 438 (99.3％) were greater than 50 mmHg.Monitoring of EEG oxygen saturation showed that the value of ipsilateral rSO2 was significantly lower than that of the contralateral [(56％ ± 3％) vs.(64％ ± 4％),P ＜ 0.05] before induced hypertension.After induced hypertension and clamp removal,the value of ipsilateral rSO2 was lower than that of the contralateral,but there was not significant difference (all P ＞ 0.05).Perioperative cerebral infarction occurred in 2 cases,ipsilateral cerebral hemorrhage in 1 case,contralateral cerebral hemorrhage in 1 case and myocardial infarction in 2 cases.Connclusion The technique of induced hypotension and hypotension play a temporary role in brain protection for patients undergoing CEA.This study demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of induced hypertension and hypotension technique.

OBJECTIVETo explore clinical significance of monitoring the level of minimal residual disease (MRD) at different time point in the risk stratification and prognosis of Childhood B-lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

METHODSThree hundred and eighty cases of children's B-ALL from Augest 2008 to January 2013 in our hospital were enrolled in this study. MRD levels were detected at day 15, day 33 and week 12 after initial chemotherapy. The event-free survival(EFS) and overall survival (OS) were measured on the basis of MRD levels at different stages of chemotherapy and were compared by Kaplan Meier analyses.

RESULTSThe patient's age, initial white blood cell count, chromosome, MLL, BCR/ABL, pretreatment reaction, bone marrow MRD at days 33 were closely related with the 5-year EFS rate. Multiparameter flow cytometry showed the marked MRD and unmarked MRD were not significantly different between their 5-year EFS rate(P>0.05), and the every immune phenotype was also no significantly different between the 5-year EFS rate(P>0.05). The children with MRD≥10at day 15(P<0.01), MRD≥10at day 33 (P<0.01) and MRD≥10on week 12(P<0.01) have a decreased 5-year EFS rate and overall survival, which related with poor prognosis obviously. The 5-year EFS rates at the MRD<10(negative), 10-10, 10-10and ≥10at day 33 were 86.6±2.7%, 77.5±4.9%, 70.1±8.0%, and 44.8±9.9%(P<0.01) with significant difference respectively; the 5-year OS rate was 89.5±2.7%, 80±4.9%, 76.0±7.8%, and 53.2±10.1% with statistically significant difference(P<0. 01).

CONCLUSIONThe MRD≥10at day 33 is a high risk factor for significant reduction of the 5-year EFS rate and the 5-year OS rate of children with B-ALL. Thus, dynamic monitoring the MRD level can predict relapse of B-ALL after remission.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical features and prognostic factors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in high-risk (HR) group.

METHODSA total of 421 children with ALL in the Children's Hospital of Soochow University from August 2008 to March 2013 were diagnosed and treated according to the Chinese Children Leukemia Group (CCLG)-2008 Protocol. Among different risk-groups, 148 cases were stratified into the low-risk group and 191 cases were included in the moderate-risk group. Eight-two patients of the high-risk group were analyzed retrospectively for their clinical features, 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate.

RESULTSThe median follow-up times of 82 patients were 64 months(3.0-76.3 months), 55 patient achieved complete remission(CR) after 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy(CR rate 67.1%), 25 patients relapsed(30.5%) mainly in very early and early relapse phases, significantly different from the low-risk group (P=0.013), 27 pateitns died(32.9%). The 5-year pEFS and pOS were 57.20% and 58.5%, respectively. Phor BCR/ABLand MRD>10on the 33rd day in the high-risk group were 2 main factors influencing EFS and OS according to single factor analysis. Phor BCR/ABLwas an independent prognostic factor, however, the MRD value on the 33rd day was not statistically significant differente by virtue of COX regression analysis.

CONCLUSIONThe clinical feature of children with ALL in high risk group display low induction CR rate, high recurrence rate and the lower 5-year pEFS. Phor BCR/ABLis regarded as an independent factor of poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the occupational hazards in automobile maintenance industry in Hangzhou and to provide field-research based evidence for prevention and control. Methods We visited 12 workshops of automobile maintenance to investigate the actors of occupational hazards, examine the protective facilities, and evaluate the occupation-related risk using MES method. Results The factors of occupation-related hazards at polishing posts met the criteria. At the painting posts in the painting room, the factors of chemical hazards satisfied the criteria, however, the levels of xylene and butyl acetate exceeded the standard lines in some enterprises when the ventilation system was close. The noise was higher than the limit at a few posts of sheet metal. The ventilation in spray paint room and the dust collector in dry mill room work well. The risks of occupational hazards at grinding, painting, and sheet metal posts were slightly harmful. Conclusion The occupational hazard factors in automobile repair enterprises were much more complicated. The noise hazard of the sheet metal posts was relatively prominent.
