新型冠状病毒肺炎中医病因与辨治的思考

新型冠状病毒肺炎是感受新型冠状病毒所致,属于中医学“疫病”的范畴,其病因为吴又可提出的“异气”,与六淫不同,具有生物学属性;侵袭人体主要造成气阴损伤,气化失常,湿饮停聚;治疗当以“逐邪为第一要义”,恢复机体平衡状态。

Long Noncoding RNA WEE2-AS1 Plays an Oncogenic Role in Glioblastoma by Functioning as a Molecular Sponge for MicroRNA-520f-3p

The long noncoding RNA WEE2 antisense RNA 1 (WEE2-AS1) plays an oncogenic role in hepatocellular carcinoma and triple negative breast cancer progression. In this study, we investigated the expression and roles of WEE2-AS1 in glioblastoma (GBM). Furthermore, the molecular mechanisms behind the oncogenic actions of WEE2-AS1 in GBM cells were explored in detail. WEE2-AS1 expression was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The roles of WEE2-AS1 in GBM cells were evaluated by the cell counting kit-8 assay, flow cytometric analysis, Transwell cell migration and invasion assays, and tumor xenograft experiments. WEE2-AS1 expression was evidently enhanced in GBM tissues and cell lines compared with their normal counterparts. An increased level of WEE2-AS1 was correlated with the average tumor diameter, Karnofsky Performance Scale score, and shorter overall survival among GBM patients. Functionally, depleted WEE2-AS1 attenuated GBM cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro, promoted cell apoptosis, and impaired tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, WEE2-AS1 functioned as a molecular sponge for microRNA- 520f-3p (miR-520f-3p) and consequently increased specificity protein 1 (SP1) expression in GBM cells. A series of recovery experiments revealed that the inhibition of miR-520f-3p and upregulation of SP1 could partially abrogate the influences of WEE2-AS1 downregulation on GBM cells. In conclusion, WEE2-AS1 can adsorb miR-520f-3p to increase endogenous SP1 expression, thereby facilitating the malignancy of GBM. Therefore, targeting the WEE2-AS1–miR-520f-3p–SP1 pathway might be a promising therapy for the management of GBM in the future.     

HPV检测原发灶不明颈淋巴结转移癌的诊断作用初探(附6例报告)

目的 初步探讨HPV检测在诊断原发灶不明的颈淋巴结转移性鳞癌中的价值。方法 收集复旦大学附属肿瘤医院6例首诊为原发灶不明的颈淋巴结转移性鳞癌,最终确诊为HPV相关口咽鳞癌,分析确诊过程。结果 首诊时6例患者均被确诊为颈淋巴结转移性鳞癌,且p16表达阳性和HPV-16亚型阳性,而EBER表达阴性。经全面检查均未发现明显的原发病灶。随后对其中4例予同侧扁桃体盲检(2例)和切除(2例),病理均证实为扁桃体鳞癌。另2例分别在随访第149天、545天MRI检查发现同侧口咽侧壁和舌根增厚伴强化,经活检分别证实为扁桃体鳞癌、舌根鳞癌。结论 对于原发灶不明的HPV阳性颈淋巴结转移性鳞癌,应高度怀疑原发病灶来源于口咽部位的可能性,特别是扁桃体和舌根部位。     

Cytomegalovirus enteritis with intractable diarrhea in infants from a tertiary care center in China

Abstract

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is rarely thought to be the cause of significant gastrointestinal infection in immunocompetent children. CMV colitis is seldom observed in young infants. This study aims to examine the clinical features of CMV colitis in Chinese children.

Methods: Patients with infantile onset CMV colitis diagnosed in intestinal tissue at Children’s Hospital of Fudan University from 1st January 2017, to 31st January 2019 were enrolled. Clinical data were retrieved from medical records, and the literature on infant CMV colitis was also reviewed.

Results: Ten patients were included with a median age of 2.5?months [interquartile range 2.0, 6.3?months]. All 10 patients had diarrhea, 10 patients had anemia, seven patients reported hematochezia, five patients had hypoalbuminemia, five patients had retinitis, two patients had hearing impairment, and one patient had perianal abscess and anal fistula. The patients had punched-out ulcerations, longitudinal ulcerations or irregular ulcerations on the rectum and/or colon. Typical histologic evaluation showed crypt distortion and inflammatory infiltration. CMV inclusion bodies were noted in four patients. Immunohistochemistry on intestinal tissue was performed to diagnose CMV, with all patients positive. After follow-up, all patients are clinically recovered or in remission; six patients received antiviral therapy, and five patients had healed ulcers on endoscopic examination.

Conclusions: CMV colitis might be a rare cause of intractable diarrhea in immunocompetent children. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of CMV colitis in patients with intractable diarrhea.     

神经肌肉病患儿新型冠状病毒病疫情期间防控及管理建议

我国新型冠状病毒肺炎(Corona Virus Disease,COVID-19)疫情到目前为止还在持续。现有流行病学显示人群对新型冠状病毒(2019 novel coronavirus,2019-nCoV)普遍易感,有基础疾病或60岁以上患者是COVID-19重症病例的高危人群。对于罕见病,尤其是对呼吸道感染易感而且一旦患病极易加重、甚至危及生命的神经肌肉病患儿,如何加强防护和进行居家康复,目前需要更多的关注。因此,中华医学会儿科学分会内分泌遗传代谢学组、中华医学会儿科学分会神经学组、中华医学会儿科学分会康复学组和《中华实用儿科临床杂志》编辑委员会以婴幼儿最常见的神经肌肉病-脊髓性肌萎缩症(spinal muscular atrophy,SMA)为例,根据国家卫生健康委员会发布的相关疾病诊治方案和SMA多学科管理专家共识,结合儿童COVID-19的临床特点,制定了以SMA为代表的神经肌肉病患儿COVID-19的防控建议以及疫情期间康复训练和用药指导的专家建议,以指导合并COVID-19的神经肌肉病患儿的诊治及其居家管理、康复。
