This paper summarizes the Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment experience of Professor Wang Shuchuan,the first session national famous Chinese medicine practitioner,on paediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.It concludes that the main e-tiology and mechanism of paediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is wind-warmth attacking the lungs,phlegm-heat stagnation,and injury of both qi and yin.During the initial phase,there is an invasion of the lung by dryness and warm winds,with lung depres-sion and loss of dispersion being the priority;the progression phase is mainly characterized by heat stagnation and phlegm coagulation,with phlegm heat blocking the lungs;the recovery phase is characterized by qi depletion and damage to the yin,along with yin deficien-cy and the pathogenic qi lingering internally.Accordingly,the treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is divided into three stages according to its main symptom of cough.The initial cough phase focuses on dispersing the lung and moistening the dryness with pungent-cool;the phlegm cough stage pays attention to clear the heat and purge the phlegm;the deficiency cough stage focuses on benefiting the qi and nourishing the yin and reinforcing the healthy qi,which has achieved satisfactory clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of Enterobius vermicularis infections among children in Fanxian County, Henan Province in 2019, so as to provide insights into the management of enterobiasis. Methods Five kindergartens were selected in urban and rural areas of Fanxian County, Henan Province using the stratified sampling method in 2019, and a census of E. vermicularis infections was performed among all children in the kindergartens. E. vermicularis eggs were detected using adhesive and scotch cellophane-tape anal swab methods, and the basic characteristics of children and their families, health habits and the kindergartens’ information were investigated with questionnaires. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors and protective factors of pinworm infection in children. Results A total of 671 children were tested, and the mean prevalence of E. vermicularis infections was 15.50% (104/671). The prevalence of E. vermicularis infections was higher among children in rural kindergartens (28.13%, 72/256) than in urban kindergartens (7.71%, 32/415) (χ² = 50.380, P < 0.01), and greater in private kindergartens (32.26%, 60/186) than in public kindergartens (9.07%, 44/485) (χ² = 55.183, P < 0.01). There was no gender-specific prevalence of E. vermicularis infections among children (χ² = 1.442, P > 0.05), and the prevalence of E. vermicularis infections presented a tendency towards a rise with age (χ²_trend = 8.373, P < 0.05) and school grade (χ²_trend = 30.274, P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis identified rural kindergartens and high grades as risk factors, and separate washing of children’s and adults’ cloths, frequent bathing and frequent dinnerware disinfection in kindergartens as protective factors for E. vermicularis infections among children. In addition, there was no significant difference in the detection of E. vermicularis infections among children by using adhesive (73.08%, 76/104) and scotch cellophane-tape anal swab methods (56.73%, 59/104) (χ² = 3.959, P > 0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of E. vermicularis infection is high among children in Fanxian Country, Henan Province. Health education and surveillance of enterobiasis are required to be intensified among children in rural kindergartens and senior grades and their parents and teachers.

Objective: To observe the incidence and treatment of radiation rectal injury complicated with anxiety, depression and somatic symptom disorder. Methods: A cross-sectional survey research method was carried out. Patients with radiation rectal injury managed by members of the editorial board of Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery were the subjects of investigation. The inclusion criteria of the survey subjects: (1) patients suffered from pelvic tumors and received pelvic radiotherapy; (2) colonoscopy showed inflammatory reaction or ulcer in the rectum. Exclusion criteria: (1) patient had a history of psycho-somatic disease before radiotherapy; (2) patient was unable to use a smart phone, unable to read and understand the questions in the questionnaire displayed on the phone; (3) patient refused to sign an informed consent form. According to the SOMA self-rating scale, PHQ-15 self-rating scale, GAD-7 and PHQ-9 self-rating scale, the electronic questionnaire of "Psychological Survey of Radiation Proctitis" was designed. The questionnaire was sent to patients with radiation rectal injury managed by the committee through the WeChat group. Observational indicators: (1) radiation rectal injury symptom assessment: using SOMA self-rating scale, radiation rectal injury symptom classification: mild group (≤3 points), moderate group (4-6 points) and severe group (> 6 points); (2) incidence of anxiety, depression and physical disorder: using GAD-7, PHQ-9 and PHQ-15 self-rating scales respectively for assessment; (3) correlation of radiation rectal injury symptom grading with anxiety, depression, and somatic symptom disorder. Results: Seventy-one qualified questionnaires were collected, of which 41 (56.9%) were from Guangzhou. Among the 71 patients, 6 were males and 65 were females; the mean age was (55.7±9.3) years old and 48 patients (67.6%) were less than 60 years old; the median confirmed duration of radiation rectal injury was 2.0 (1.0, 5.0) years. (1) Evaluation of symptoms of radiation rectal injury: 18 cases of mild (25.4%), 27 cases of moderate (38.0%), and 26 cases of severe (36.6%). (2) Incidence of anxiety, depression and somatic disorder: 12 patients (16.9%) without comorbidities; 59 patients (83.1%) with anxiety, depression, or somatic disorder, of whom 2 patients only had anxiety, 1 patient only had depression, 9 only had somatic disorder, 2 had anxiety plus depression, 4 had anxiety plus somatic disorder, 2 had depression plus somatic disorder, and 40 had all three symptoms. (3) correlation of radiation rectal injury grading with anxiety, depression, and somatic symptom disorder: as compared to patients in mild group and moderate group, those in severe group had higher severity of anxiety and somatic symptom disorder (Z=-2.143, P=0.032; Z=-2.045, P=0.041), while there was no statistically significant difference of depression between mild group and moderate group (Z=-1.176, P=0.240). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that radiation rectal injury symptom score was positively correlated with anxiety (r=0.300, P=0.013), depression (r=0.287, P=0.015) and somatic symptom disorder (r=0.344, P=0.003). Conclusions: The incidence of anxiety, depression, and somatic symptom disorder in patients with radiation rectal injury is extremely high. It is necessary to strengthen the diagnosis and treatment of somatic symptom disorder, so as to alleviate the symptoms of patients with pelvic perineum pain and improve the quality of life.

【Objective】 To explore the regulatory mechanism of miR-204-3p targeting EphB2 gene on proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of NSCLC. 【Methods】 A549 cells were cultured and divided into 5 groups: NC mimic group, miR-204-3p mimic group, OE NCgroup, OE EphB2 group, miR-204-3p mimic+ OE EphB2 group. MTT, flow cytometry, Transwell and scratch test were used to detect cell proliferation, cycle, apoptosis, invasion and migration. Double Luciferase Report was used to analyze the targeting relationship between mir-204-3p and EphB2. The mRNA and protein expression of miR-204-3p, EphB2 were detected by qPCR and WB. 【Results】 Innon-small lung cancer cells, the binding site of mir-204-3p and EphB2 3'UTR region, the high expression of miR-204-3p significantly inhibited the expression of EphB2 mRNA and protein(P<0.01). Compared with the Negtively control group(NC mimic group), the proliferation of A549 cells in miR-204-3p mimicgroup were significantly decrease(P<0.05), and the apototic rate was significantly increased(P<0.05). Also, the cell migration and invasion ability were also decreased significantly(P<0.05). Transfection of Ephb2 reversed the above changes. In addition, in non-small cell lung cancer tissues, miR-204-3p was negatively correlated with EphB2 expression(r=0.636, P<0.001), and the overall survival was shorter in EphB2 high expression groups than that in low expression groups(logrank χ²=3.899, P=0.049) . 【Conclusion】 MiR- 204- 3p inhibits proliferation, migration and invasion of non-small lung cancer cells and induces apoptosis by down-regulating EphB2.

OBJECTIVE Using metabolomics to explore the essence of damp heat accumulation syndrome of infantile human cytomegalovirus hepatitis.METHODS 20 infantile HCMV hepatitis patients with damp heat accumulation syndrome and 20 healthy infants were recruited for investigation.Plasma and urine samples were analyzed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-linear trap quadruple/orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-LTQ/Orbitrap-MS) to determine the alterations in metabolomic profiles of this syndrome.Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminate analysis (OPLS-DA) was applied to analyze the UHPLC-MS data obtained from these samples.The specificity and sensitivity of potential biomarkers were assessed according to the area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves.RESULTS The metabolomic analysis yielded 1076 plasma compounds and 414 urine compounds.Among them,22 plasma and 7 urine differential metabolites relating to sphingolipid,glycerophospholipid,histidine,glycerolipid,and fatty acid metabolism were identified.Sphingomyelin and triglycerides were screened as potential biomarkers and showed excellent discriminant performance.CONCLUSION This research can provide insights into the essence of HCMV hepatitis damp heat accumulation syndrome.

BackgroundMost studies on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for gastric cancer exclude patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Here, we aimed to evaluate whether patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be enrolled into the ERAS program for locally advanced gastric cancer.

MethodsFrom April 2015 to July 2017, 114 patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer were randomized into ERAS and standard care (SC) groups. Postoperative length of stay, complications, bowel function, and nutritional status were recorded.

Results:The postoperative length of stay of the ERAS group was shorter compared with that of the SC group (5.9 ± 5.6 vs. 8.1 ± 5.3 days, P = 0.037). The postoperative complication rate was 9.3% in the ERAS group and 11.5% in the SC group (P = 0.700). The time to first flatus (2.7 ± 2.0 vs. 4.5 ± 4.6 days, P = 0.010) and time to a semi-liquid diet (3.2 ± 2.1 vs. 6.3 ± 4.9 days, P < 0.001) in the ERAS group were shorter compared with those in the SC group. On the 10day after surgery, the values of weight, total protein, albumin, and prealbumin of the ERAS group were lower compared with those of the SC group.

Conclusions:Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy could be enrolled into ERAS programs for locally advanced gastric cancer. The nutritional status of these patients was not adversely affected.

Objectives: To compare regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (rScO2) changes during cardiac surgery in children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Methods: A total of 60 children aged 3~36 months were enrolled (28 in VSD group 32 in TOF group). rScO2was monitored by Fore-Sight near-infrared spectroscopy device. rScO2, pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, heart rate, stroke volume index, cardiac index, systemic vascular reststance index the maximal slope of systolic upstroke (dp/dt max) were obtained at following time points: after anesthesia induction (t0), pericardium opening (t1), 5 min after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) initiation (t2), 5 min before separation from CPB (t3), separation from CPB (t4), post-modified ultrafiltration (t5), end of surgery (t6). Results: (1) The lowest rScO2value was observed at separation from CPB (t4), and which was significantly lower than that at t0(P<0.05) for both groups; rScO2, stoke volume index, cardiac index, and dp/dt max at t5were significantly higher than at t4(all P<0.001) for both groups. (2) rScO2and SpO2were significantly higher at t5and t6than at t0(both P<0.05) in TOF group. rScO2at t0-t2was significantly lower in TOF group than in VSD group (both P<0.05). rScO2increased more significantly after modified ultrafiltration and rScO2was positively correlated with SpO2at t0and t1(r=0.35, P<0.05 and r=0.64,P<0.01) in TOF group. (3) In the total cohort, rScO2was positively correlated with age, weight at t0, t1, t3, t4, t5, t6(all P<0.01). After modified ultrafiltration, the increase in cardiac index was positively correlated with increase in rScO2(r=0.41, P<0.05), and the amount of cardiac index and rScO2increases were negatively correlated with age (r=-0.30;r=-0.34, both P<0.05). Conclusions: rScO2is closely related with age and weight. Cerebral oxygen delivery before biventricular surgical correction is lower in TOF group than in VSD group, and the cerebral oxygenation improves significantly after surgical repair. Modified ultrafiltration could significantly improve systemic hemodynamics and rScO2, and TOF children and younger children benefit more from modified ultrafiltration. Pre- and post-separation from CPB period is vulnerable to cerebral desaturation, it is therefore of importance to maintain the cerebral oxygen delivery-consumption balance at these periods for children with TOF and VSD undergoing surgical repair.

The changes of endogenous metabolites in urine samples that come from pneumonia patients of 6 months to 6 years old children were analyzed by metabolomics methods based on gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS).The aim of this study was to analyze and study the pathogenesis of endogenous metabolites in children with pneumonia and the pathogenesis of pneumonia susceptibility.The urine samples were collected and divided into normal children group (NC group,n=29),first infection with pneumonia group (FIP group,n=35),and repeated infection with pneumonia group (RIP group,n=31).The urine metabolic profile of pneumonia was obtained by GC-MS.Principal component analysis(PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were used to analyze the data.The results were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and Fold change.Finally,there was significant difference between the normal group and the pneumonia group,the significant metabolites were serine,histidine,proline,norleucine,glutamine,stearic acid,valine,isoleucine with p value<0.05 and Fold change>5,and indole-3-acetic acid,creatine,ethanolamine,mannosylglycerol and fructose were significant between the two pneumonia groups with p value<0.05.The urinary metabolites demonstrated that amino acid metabolism and glucose metabolism were the main metabolic pathways and responsible for the susceptibility to pneumonia.

Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS / MS) in childhood asthma and healthy control, aiming to find the potential markers of EBC in children with asthma, and provide a scientific reference for its pathogenesis and early screening. EBC samples were collected from 21 asthmatic children (age (8. 2 ±1. 6) years) and 17 healthy children ( age (8. 1 ±1. 3) years). GC-MS / MS was used to obtain the full scan data of chemical components. Cluster analysis was performed on the two groups of metabolites by principal component analysis (PCA), and potential biomarkers were found using Metaboanalyst 3. 0 attributable metabolic pathways. The results showed that the EBC metabolic maps of asthmatic group and normal group were very different, and eight endogenous potential biomarkers were identified, suggesting that starch and sucrose metabolism, lysine degradation, aminoglycan nucleoside metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism may play important roles in the development of asthma in children.

BACKGROUND: The application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the treatment of cartilage damage has become a hot spot of research. Further studies on the distribution of MSCs in the body after injection and on the underlying mechanism of action are needed. OBJECTIVE: To observe the migration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) after injection into the region of osteochondral defect. METHODS: Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into two groups (n=15 per group). In the control group, the femoral tochlear was exposed but an osteochondral defect was not made; and after the suture, PKH26-labeled BMSCs were directly injected into the articular cavity of rats. In the experimental group, a cartilage defect of 1 mm in diameter and 1 mm in depth was made in the rat femoral trochlea, and 5×106PKH26-labeled BMSCs were injected into the defect after operation. At 1, 3 and 7 days after injection, the femoral condyle was taken to make frozen sections followed by DAPI staining. The distribution of BMSCs was observed under laser scanning confocal microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the control group, PKH26-labeled BMSCs were not transferred to the subchondral bone. In the experimental group, BMSCs were detected in the subchondral bone area at 1, 3 days after injection of PKH26-BMSCs in the bone cartilage defect area, and the BMSCs were also found in the bone marrow cavity at 7 days after injection. In conclusion, BMSCs in the articular cavity cannot migrate into the subchondral bone and bone marrow cavity unless the cartilage of the femoral condyle is damaged.
