Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and trends of other infectious diarrhea among children under 18 years old in Guangzhou City from 2014 to 2020, and to explore the correlation between climatic factors and the incidence of the disease, so as to provide reference for the early prevention of infectious diseases. Methods: The data of cases of other infectious diarrhea and meteorological data of children under 18 years old in Guangzhou City from 2014 to 2020 were collected through the Chinese Infectious Disease Reporting System and the Guangzhou Meteorological Bureau. The correlation between meteorological factors and the incidence of other infectious diarrhea was analyzed using negative binomial regression. Results: A total of 104 566 cases of other infectious diarrhea among children under 18 years old were reported in Guangzhou City from 2014 to 2020, with a male to female ratio of 1.48∶1. The incidence rate was the highest in 2017 (980.83 per 100 000) and the lowest in 2020 (388.22 per 100 000). The peak of incidence occurred from October to March of the following year. Children under 5 years old accounted for 87.95% of all cases. The number of cases of other infectious diarrhea was negatively correlated with the temperature of the previous 6 days ( IRR = -0.07 ), and positively correlated with the temperature difference on the day of onset ( IRR =0.02) (both P <0.05). It was also positively correlated with the wind speed of the previous 7 days ( IRR=0.07, P <0.05), but there was no statistically significant correlation with the relative humidity on the day of onset ( IRR=-0.00, P >0.05). Conclusions Low temperature, large temperature difference, and high wind speed can increase the risk of other infectious diarrhea. It is necessary to strengthen the prediction and early warning in conjunction with meteorological changes, and warn kindergartens and schools to enhance preventive measures against the clustering of other infectious diarrhea cases.

The dried rattan stem of the Fibraurea Recisa Pierre plant contains the active ingredient known as fibrauretine (FN). Although it greatly affects Alzheimer's disease (AD), the mechanism of their effects still remains unclear. Proteomics and transcriptomics analysis methods were used in this study to determine the mechanism of FN in the treatment of AD. AD model is used through bilateral hippocampal injection of Aβ1-40. After successful modeling, FN was given for 30 days. The results showed that FN could improve the cognitive dysfunction of AD model rats, reduce the expression of Aβ and P-Tau, increase the content of acetylcholine and reduce the activity of acetylcholinesterase. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enriched differentially expressed genes and proteins are involved in signaling pathways including metabolic pathway, AD, pathway in cancer, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, and cAMP signaling pathway. Transcriptomics and proteomics sequencing resulted in 19 differentially expressed genes and proteins. Finally, in contrast to the model group, after FN treatment, the protein expressions and genes associated with the PI3K-AKT pathway were significantly improved in RT-qPCR and Western blot and assays. This is consistent with the findings of transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. Our study found that, FN may improve some symptoms of AD model rats through PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology of 5 cases of monochorionic-diamniotic (MCDA) with genetic discordance. METHODS: 148 cases of MCDA twins who were diagnosed by amniocentesis at the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2016 to June 2020 were selected as the study subjects. Relevant clinical data of the pregnant women were collected, and amniotic fluid samples of the twins were collected separately. Chromosomal karyotyping analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array) assay were carried out. RESULTS: The results of chromosomal karyotyping analysis showed that 5 of the MCDA twins had inconsistent chromosome karyotypes, with an incidence of 3.4% (5/148). SNP array assay showed that 3 fetuses were mosaics. CONCLUSION Genetic discordance occurs among MCDA twins, and prenatal counseling for such cases should be given by doctors with experience in medical genetics and fetal medicine, and personalized clinical management should be recommended.

Whether gender selection should be conducted is a controversial topic in ethical research on mitochondrial replacement technology. Scholars put forward different moral judgments based on different positions, and after reviewing these judgments, it was found that those who support gender selection mainly rely on the utility theory and rights theory, while those who oppose gender selection mainly rely on the dignity theory and community theory. It is not difficult to find that relying on traditional moral theory to defend moral judgments or actions often leads to endless debates among "moral strangers" , and does not provide effective guidance for solving specific problems. Principlism is a systematic and comprehensive analytical approach constructed with a series of clear and effective frameworks, which can reasonably solve the differences and disagreements between different value systems and cultural concepts. In the discussion of whether gender selection should be conducted in mitochondrial replacement technology, principlism refined and balanced it through the method of reflective equilibrium, and finally obtained the best judgment plan that allows for gender selection. To truly achieve the humane purpose of avoiding harm in gender selection, it is necessary to clearly limit the objects and stages of use, and regulate them from the dual dimensions of ethics and morality, as well as policy regulation.

Objective:To explore the genetic background in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins discordant for karyotypes.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed four pregnant women who were diagnosed as having MCDA twins with prenatal diagnostic indications by ultrasound at Maternity and Child Health Care of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2016 to December 2019. Dual amniocentesis was performed for all cases guided by ultrasound and the twin amniotic fluids were taken for karyotyping and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array testing. Zygosity was determined by SNP genotype analysis.Results:The karyotypes of four MCDA twins were 47,XX,+18 and 46,XX, 45,X and 46,XX, 47,XXY[17]/46,XY[33] and 47,XXY, and 47,XX,+21 and 46,XX, respectively. The results of SNP were arr(18)×3 and arr(1-22,X)×2, arr(X)×1 and arr(1-22,X)×2, arr(X)×1~2,(Y)×1 and arr(X)×2,(Y)×1, arr(21)×3 and arr(21)×2~3. All of them were monozygotic twins according to the SNP genotypes. Three out of the four cases chose to terminate the pregnancy due to fetal chromosomal abnormalities and one was lost to follow-up. One gave birth to a healthy child in the next pregnancy.Conclusions:Clinicians should be alert to the discordant karyotypes in MCDA twins, of which the mechanism is yet to be explored.

Objective:To evaluate the clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes of HIV-negative plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) .Methods:Medical records of 15 patients diagnosed with HIV-negative PBL in Changhai Hospital between January 2013 and August 2019 were reviewed, and clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes were analyzed.Results:Median age was 59 years (range: 17-69) . All patients had extranodal involvement. According to the Cotswolds-modified Ann Arbor staging system, 1 (6.7%) , 2 (13.3%) , 3 (20.0%) , and 9 (60.0%) patients were classified as at Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ, respectively. Plasmablast and immunoblast proliferations were typical manifestations of PBL. Immunohistochemical staining showed tumor cells were diffusely positive for plasma cell markers CD38, CD138, and Mum-1, while negative for B cell markers CD20, CD10, PAX-5, and BCL-6. Median Ki-67 index was 80% (70%-90%) . Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA (EBER) expression was detected in 3 patients, and 1 of them was positive. All patients received chemotherapy, 80% combined with bortezomib as the first line, and responses were observed in 8 patients (6 complete and 2 partial responses) . Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 6.8 (95% CI 2.5-11.1) months and 17.9 (95% CI 5.6-30.2) months, the 3-year PFS and OS rates were 21.2% (95% CI 1.4%-56.8%) and 38.5% (95% CI 12.0%-65.0%) , respectively. Conclusion:HIV-negative PBL with high invasiveness is extremely prone to extranodal involvement and most patients were at the advanced stage. Patients receiving an intensive therapy combined with bortezomib and bridged autologous stem cell transplantation may improve long-time survival.

Objective: To evaluate the clinicopathologic features of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) , and elucidate the potential pathogenesis by whole exome sequencing (WES) . Methods: Clinico-pathological data of 23 RDD patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2018 in Changhai hospital were reviewed, and 9 paraffin-embedded specimens were performed for WES. Results: The median age of 23 RDD patients was 47 (10-79) years. Of them, 19 cases had extranodal lesions, 3 had nodal lesions, and 1 had nodal and extranodal lesions coincidently. All patients received surgery for lesion resection. Histiocytosis in lymph node sinuses or in extranodal tissues accompanied by lymphocyte phagocytosis are typical pathological features of RDD. Immunohistochemical staining shows histocytes are positive for S100, CD68 and CDl63, and negative for CD1a. mTOR, KMT2D and NOTCH1 mutations were detected with WES in these cases. Conclusion Mutations in mTOR, KMT2D and NOTCH1 genes may be involved in the pathogenesis of RDD, and their clinical significance needs to be further studied.

Mood disorders/psychosis have been associated with dysfunctions in the default mode network (DMN). However, the relative contributions of DMN regions to state and trait disturbances in pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible mechanisms of PBD through brain imaging and explore the influence of psychotic symptoms on functional alterations in PBD patients. Twenty-nine psychotic and 26 non-psychotic PBD patients, as well as 19 age- and sex-matched healthy controls underwent a resting-state functional MRI scan and the data were analyzed by independent component analysis. The DMN component from the fMRI data was extracted for each participant. Spearman's rank correlation analysis was performed between aberrant connectivity and clinical measurements. The results demonstrated that psychotic PBD was characterized by aberrant DMN connectivity in the anterior cingulate cortex/medial prefrontal cortex, bilateral caudate nucleus, bilateral angular gyri, and left middle temporal gyrus, while non-psychotic PBD was not, suggesting further impairment with the development of psychosis. In summary, we demonstrated unique impairment in DMN functional connectivity in the psychotic PBD group. These specific neuroanatomical abnormalities may shed light on the underlying pathophysiology and presentation of PBD.

OBJECTIVE: The aims of the present study were to explore the occurrence of childhood trauma and importantly to determine the impacts of childhood trauma on psychosocial features in a Chinese sample of young adults. METHODS: A survey was carried out in a group of 555 university students by using Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Dysfunctional Attitudes Questionnaire (DAS), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). The moderate-severe cut-off scores for CTQ were used to calculate the prevalence of childhood trauma, and then psychosocial features were compared between individuals with and without childhood trauma. RESULTS: A proportion of 18.6% of university students had self-reported childhood trauma exposures. Subjects with childhood trauma reported higher scores of SDS, SAS, DAS, and psychoticism and neuroticism dimensions of EPQ (t=4.311–5.551, p < 0.001); while lower scores of SSRS and extraversion dimension of EPQ (t=-4.061– -3.039, p < 0.01). Regression analyses further revealed that scores of SAS and DAS were positively (Adjusted B=0.211–0.230, p < 0.05), while scores of SSRS were negatively (Adjusted B=-0.273– -0.240, p < 0.05) associated with specific CTQ scores. CONCLUSION: Childhood trauma is still a common social and psychological problem. Individuals with childhood trauma show much more depression, anxiety, distorted cognition, personality deficits, and lower levels of social support, which may represent the social and psychological vulnerability for developing psychiatric disorders after childhood trauma experiences.
