OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic etiology of three children with Menkes disease.
METHODS:
Three children who had presented at the Children's Medical Center, the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from January 2020 to July 2022 were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data of the children were reviewed. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the children, their parents and sister of child 1. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing, copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq), and bioinformatic analysis.
RESULTS:
Child 1 was a 1-year-and-4-month male, and children 2 and 3 were monozygotic twin males aged 1-year-and-10-month. The clinical manifestations of the three children have included developmental delay and seizures. WES showed that child 1 has harbored a c.3294+1G>A variant of the ATP7A gene. Sanger sequencing confirmed that his parents and sister did not carry the same variant, suggesting that it was de novo. Children 2 and 3 had carried a c.77266650_77267178del copy number variation. CNV-seq results showed that their mother has carried the same variant. By searching the HGMD, OMIM and ClinVar databases, the c.3294+1G>A was known to be pathogenic. No carrier frequency has been recorded in the 1000 Genomes, ESP, ExAC and gnomAD databases. Based on the Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants: A Joint Consensus Recommendation of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the ATP7A gene c.3294+1G>A variant was predicted to be pathogenic. The c.77266650_77267178del variant has involved exons 8 to 9 of the ATP7A gene. ClinGen online system score for it was 1.8, which was also considered to be pathogenic.
CONCLUSION
The c.3294+1G>A and c.77266650_ 77267178del variants of the ATP7A gene probably underlay the Menkes disease in the three children. Above finding has enriched the mutational spectrum of Menkes disease and provided a basis for clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Objective:To investigate the classification of head shaking nystagmus(HSN) and its clinical value in vestibular peripheral diseases. Methods:Clinical data of 198 patients with peripheral vestibular disorders presenting with HSN were retrospectively analyzed. Video Nystagmograph(VNG) was applied to detect spontaneous nystagmus(SN), HSN, and Caloric Test(CT). The intensity and direction of SN and HSN as well as the unilateral weakness(UW) and direction preponderance(DP) values in caloric test was analyzed in patients. Results:Among the 198 patients with vestibular peripheral disease, there were 105 males and 93 females, with an average age of(49.1±14.4) years (range: 14-87 years). One hundred and thirty seven patients were diagnosed as Vestibular Neuritis(VN), 12 as Meniere's Disease(MD), 41 as sudden deafness(SD) and 8 as Hunt's syndrome accompanied by vertigo. Among them, there were 116 patients in the acute phase, including 68 cases(58.6%) with decreased HSN, 4 cases(3.4%) with increased HSN, 5 cases(4.3%) with biphasic HSN, 38 cases(32.8%) with unchanged HSN, and 1 case(0.9%) with perverted HSN. There were 82 cases in the non-acute phase, 51 cases(62.2%) with decreased HSN, 3 cases(3.6%) with increased HSN, 9 cases(11.0%) with biphasic HSN, and 19 cases(23.2%) with unchanged HSN. In biphasic HSN, the intensity of phase I nystagmus was usually greater than that of phase II, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). There was no correlation between HSN type and course of disease or DP value. The intensity of HSN was negatively correlated with the course of disease(r=-0.320, P<0.001) and positively correlated with DP value(r=0.364, P<0.001), respectively. The intensity of unchanged nystagmus and spontaneous nystagmus were(8.0±5.7) °/s and(8.5±6.4)°/s, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the intensity of nystagmus before and after shaking the head. Conclusion:HSN can be classified into five types and could be regarded as a potential SN within a specific frequency range (mid-frequency). Similarly, SN could also be considered as a common sign of unilateral vestibular impairment at different frequencies. HSN intensity can reflect the dynamic process of vestibular compensation, and is valuable for assessing the frequency of damage in peripheral vestibular diseases and monitoring the progress of vestibular rehabilitation.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of red blood cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio (RPR) with clinical features and prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:The clinical data of 137 patients with MM who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from April 2013 to July 2019 were collected. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the best cut-off value of RPR. According to the best cut-off value of RPR, the patients were divided into high RPR group and low RPR group, and the differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis between the two groups were analyzed.Results:The best cut-off value of RPR was 0.10, and according to the best cut-off value, the patients were divided into high RPR group (RPR ≥ 0.10, 52 cases) and low RPR group (RPR < 0.10, 85 cases). There were statistical differences between the high RPR group and low RPR group in the proportion of patients between different stratification of Durie-Salmon (DS) staging ( χ2 = 17.110, P < 0.01), International Staging System (ISS) staging ( χ2 = 10.817, P = 0.001), red blood cell distribution width standard deviation(RDW-SD) ( χ2 = 26.937, P < 0.01), hemoglobin ( χ2 = 17.140, P < 0.01), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ( χ2 = 7.926, P = 0.005), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) ( χ2 = 9.513, P = 0.002), β 2-microglobulin (β 2-MG) ( χ2 = 7.726, P = 0.005), and bone marrow plasma cell ratio (BMPC) ( χ2 = 6.621, P = 0.010). The overall response rate (ORR) in the low RPR group was higher than that in the high RPR group [82.4% (70/85) vs. 71.2% (37/52)], but the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 2.366, P = 0.124). The deep remission rate in the low RPR group was higher than that in the high RPR group [56.5% (48/85) vs. 19.2% (10/52)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 18.327, P < 0.01). The results of multivariate analysis showed that the albumin, RPR and degree of remission were independent influencing factors for the overall survival (OS) of newly treated MM patients (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:MM patients with elevated peripheral blood RPR have shorter OS time, and RPR may be one of the indicators for evaluating the prognosis of MM.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of dihydroquercetin (DHQ) on hemorheology and other relevant related indexes in local cerebral ischemic injury model rats. METHODS: SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, nimodipine group (positive control, 20 mg/kg) and DHQ low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (15, 30, 60 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically, sham operation group and model group were given constant volume of 0.4% Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution, once a day, for consecutive 14 d. After last administration, local cerebral ischemic injury model was induced by bilateral common carotid artery ligation in other groups except for sham operation group. After 24 h of cerebral ischemia, histopathological changes of brain tissue in rats of each group were observed; the levels of hemorheology indexes [whole blood viscosity (low, medium and high shear), whole blood reduced viscosity (low, medium and high shear), plasma viscosity], erythrocyte parameters (hematocrit, EAI, DI, IR), coagulation function indexes (APTT, PT, TT, FIB) were detected. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group, the cells in the brain tissue of model group were loose, the gap was obvious, and the neurons around the ischemic area were damaged obviously; the levels of whole blood viscosity, whole blood reduced viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, EAI, IR and FIB were increased significantly, while the levels of DI, APTT, PT and TT were decreased or shortened significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, above symptoms of administration groups were improved to different extents, whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, EAI and IR of nimodipine group, whole blood viscosity and hematocrit of DHQ high-dose group, plasma viscosity and EAI of DHQ groups, and IR of DHQ medium-dose and high-dose groups were decreased significantly; DI, APTT, PT and TT of nimodipine group, DI, APTT and TT of DHQ groups and PT of DHQ high-dose group were increased or prolonged significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no statistical significance in other indexes among those groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: DHQ can protect against local cerebral ischemic injury model rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with improving hemorheology indexes and coagulation function disorder.

Objective To analyze the effect of evidence based practice on feeding after spinal operation. Methods To formulate an answerable question, find the best available evidence, appraise the evidence and formulate the recommendations by using the method of evidence-based medicine. A total of 60 postoperative patients who received spinal operation were divided into observation group and control group (30 cases in each group). Those patients in control group received the routine diet guidance and the guidelines for the standardization of intake and consumption after spinal cord surgery were used for patients in observation group. The outcomes were evaluated by postoperative recovery and complications of patients after spinal operation. Results There were no significant difference in the incidence of nausea, vomiting , bloating and celialgia in the 5 hours after surgery and 2 hours after feeding between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of thirst and hunger in the 5 hours after surgery in observation group were 3.33%(1/30) and 13.33%(4/30).The incidence of thirst and hunger in the 5 hours after surgery in control group were 80.00%(24/30) and 83.33%(25/30). There were statistically significant in the incidence of thirst and hunger in the 5 hours after surgery between the two groups (χ2=36.27, 24.09, P<0.05). There were not statistically significant in the time of anal exsufflation and first defecation time between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions Evidence-based practice in the use of guidelines for the standardization of intake and consumption after spinal cord surgery can guide clinical practice.
