    Interpretation of Early, Accurate Diagnosis and Early Intervention in Cerebral Palsy: Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment published by JAMA Pediatrics in 2017
    2018, 33(10): 743-749.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2018100602
    Abstract ( )  

    Historically,the diagnosis of cerebral palsy has been made after 1 year old. However,a systematical review published on JAMA Pediatrics in 2017 indicates that the diagnosis of cerebral palsy can be made before 6 months’ corrected age, based on the best available evidence of standardized predictive tools for detecting risk of cerebral palsy early. This review also emphasized that early diagnosis and intervention can promote the continuing development of children’s motor and intelligence,prevent complications and ensure that the caregivers can obtain full support. On the basis of Chinese national condition,we wrote this interpretation aiming to improve our capability of diagnosis and treatment of cerebral palsy, and to promote refinements of relevant policy.

    2018, 33(10): 754-757.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2018100604
    Abstract ( )  

    Gene detection is used to detect the DNA molecular information of biological samples,analyze the gene types,gene defects and gene expression,which may be used for early disease diagnosis and risk prediction. Gene detection plays an important role in the prediction of the risk of developing a solid tumor in children and the prognosis. The most common pathological gene detection of extracranial solid tumor-neuroblastoma is mainly focused on chromosome analysis,mutation detection,and single nucleotide polymorphism detection. Gene detection of neuroblastoma can provide reference for the study of other solid tumors in children.

    Abstract ( )  

    Retinoblastoma(RB) is the most common intraocular tumor in population,and represents 3% of pediatric cancers. The most common intimal sign of RB was "leucocoria". It develops in the retina as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor that affects development during gestation. It is initiated by mutation of the RB1 gene,which was the first described tumour-suppressor gene. It could be in one eye or both eyes. The treatment for RB included interventional treatment,intraocular conservation,chemotherapy and radiotherapy,and the long-term survival rate reached over 95%. However,with the deepening of understanding and improvement of economic conditions,the rate of visits for RB and spread of RB in the central nervous system has been increasing year by year. Understanding the diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of retinoblastoma and research progress at home and abroad are necessary to improving the eye-protection rate and quality of life in children with RB.

    2018, 33(10): 763-768.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2018100606
    Abstract ( )  

    Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. Heterogeneity is the main feature of NB with diverse clinical presentations,various molecular-pathology,and vastly contrasting prognosis. Treatment selection must be based on risk grade. The therapy for high-risk disease is the focus,which includes three phases:induction,consolidation,and maintenance. With the introduction of single cell technology and precise sequencing,NB will enter the era of molecular targeting and immunotherapy.

    Abstract ( )  

    This article will focus on the difficulties we have to face during HB treatment. First,we will start with molecular alterations in HB. HB is associated with several genetic syndromes in small amounts of HB. WNT/β-catenin signaling play an important role in somatic HB. However,how to make it valuable moleculare target remains unkown. Yet,many questions remain unsolved. More sophisticated research is necessary to unravel the exact implications of targeting WNT to achieve the maximum desired clinical effect. Second,we will focus on the difficulties in clinical procedures. What is the best optimal management of lung metastasis and refractory/recurrent diseases? How do we manage children affected by HB aged less than 6 months at diagnosis? Moreover, the role of postoperative chemotherapy in the post-transplant setting remains controversial.

    Abstract ( )  

    Childhood kidney tumors account for about 7% of all childhood cancers. Most childhood kidney tumors are Wilms tumor,but in the 15- to 19-year age group,most tumors are renal cell carcinoma. In medically developed countries,clinical trials in Wilms tumor(WT) have resulted in overall survival rates of greater than 90%. Children’s Oncology Group Renal Tumor Committee(COG-RTC) is one of the clinical study groups internationally known for its clinical research in childhood kidney tumor. Its standard treatment for children with Wilms tumor consists of initial nephrectomy(when feasible) followed by chemotherapy and,in some patients,radiation therapy. This summary reviewed peer-reviewed,evidence-based reports about the treatment for Wilms tumor published recently and intended to be a resource to assist clinicians who care for children with Wilms tumor.

    2018, 33(10): 791-795.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2018100612
    Abstract ( )  

    Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma(ARMS) is a highly invasive histological subtype of rhabdomyosarcoma(RMS),which has poor prognosis with unsatisfactory response to conventional treatment on account of early metastasis potential and frequent recurrence. In recent years,with the development of research,the biological characteristics of ARMS are better understood and biotargeted therapy,which is currently the hotspot and trend of research,has promising prospect to improve the prognosis of ARMS patients. Here we describe the most recent discoveries in the molecular and cellular biology of ARMS,including the generation and carcinogenicity of characteristic fusion genes,alterations in cell signaling pathways and potential targeted drugs tested in vitro or in vivo. This review will provide new ideas for the current treatment of ARMS.

    Abstract ( )  

    Objective To observe the clinical characteristics and prognosis of children with IgE-related food allergy.Methods The study was enrolled 174 children with food allergy in Beijing Children Hospital between March 2012 and November 2013. All patients were given treatment of avoid allergic food and filled out the standard questionnaire and followed up . Results The sIgE positive rates of milk and eggs were higher than other food,were 66.1% and 27.6%. Mildly sensitive to milk was 65.5%,moderately sensitive to chicken protein was 5.2%. Main clinical manifestations of children with food allergy were vary in different age groups . In the infant group, diarrhea was the main manifestation(51.3%),and in the toddler group,vomiting was the main manifestation(37.5%). In the school age and adolescence group,abdominal pain was the main manifestation(43.5%). The severity of diarrhea are not connected with the types and concentration of allergens IgE. The results of follow-up analysis showed that patients of milk sIgE 2 level(7.54±5.1) months need more longer time to acquire tolerance than sIgE 1 level(3.50±3.53) months. Conclusion Milk and eggs are the main allergens. The gastrointestinal symptoms of children with IgE-related food allergy were different with age. Children with high concentration of milk specific IgE is not easy to acquire food tolerance. The concentration of milk specific IgE had certain predictive value for the patient’s tolerance.
