1.Kawasaki disease and allergic diseases
International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;39(3):234-236
Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the most common causes of acquired heart disase in children,the development of which is closely related to the allergic diseases.Recent studies have manifested that the incidence of allergic diseases in children with KD is far higher than that in those children without KD.Meanwhile,the morbidity of KD in allergic children is significantly higher than that in those who do not have family medical history of allergic diseases.By far,the mechanisms causing interaction between KD and allergic diseases still remain unclear.Possible mechanisms include IgE-meditated immune response,release of large quantity of cytokines and inflammatory meditators as well as atopic family history.
2.Progress in the role of steroids in Kawasaki disease therapy
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;40(4):367-370
Kawasaki disease(KD) is the most common reason for acquired heart disease in children,which is closely related to autoimmune response and the release of cytokines in vascular endothelial cells.Steroids are strongly effective in countering inflammation as well as immune response.In the time of being,it has become a hot spot that steroids play an important role in the initial treatment for acute KD and for incomplete and refractory KD.

5.Clique clustering-based automatic summarization of multiple documents on schizophrenia
Chinese Journal of Medical Library and Information Science 2016;25(3):18-24
A semantic predication network was developed by processing the documents on schizophrenia into se-mantic predication sets using SemRep, from which the core information was extracted to produce a graphic summary which was consisted of highly cohesive cliques.The automatic methods for summarizing biomedical documents were studied using the network properties combined with semantic information.The subthemes in the summary obtained by clustering were evaluated according to the clique co-node matrix and the contents of the summary were assessed according to the reference criteria.The accuracy was 0.93, the recall was 0.68, and the F-value was 0.79 for the summary, indicating that this method can effectively recognize the core information in documents and the semantic information in network graphics.
6.Current status and influencing factors for child neglect in 3-6 years old rural children in Henan
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(9):792-796
ObjectivesTo study the current status of child neglect and its inlfuencing factors in children aged 3-6 years in rural Henan.MethodsScales and evaluation methods in the Chinese rural child aged 3-6 years neglected eval-uation model were applied in this study. The neglect rate and the neglect degree were used to describe the neglect status of rural children aged 3-6 years in Henan. The inlfuencing factors for child neglect were also analyzed. ResultsThe total neglect rate in 450 enrolled children was 37.1% (167/450). The total neglect degree was 51.9±6.5. The boys had signiifcant-ly higher neglect rate than girls (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in neglect degree between boys and girls (P>0.05). There were significant differences in neglect rate and neglect degree among the different age groups (P<0.05), the higher neglect rate and higher neglect degree over age. The neglect rate and neglect degree in nuclear families and fam-ilies with three generations were lower than those in single-parent families and remarried families (P<0.05). The neglect rate and neglect degree in non-only children were higher than those in only children (P<0.05). The left-behind children had signiifcantly higher neglect rate and neglect degree than children living with parents (P<0.05). Based on multivariate logis-tic regression analysis, the risk factors of child neglect were single-parent families (OR = 4.78, 95%CI : 2.10-10.87) and remarried families (OR=4.53, 95%CI : 1.99-10.01). The protective factors of child neglect were parents working on sci-ence (OR = 0.20, 95%CI : 0.10-0.67) and living with parents (OR = 0.03, 95%CI : 0.00-0.54).ConclusionsThe neglect status is serious in Henan rural children, particularly in left-behind children.
8.Effects of Yiqi-Humo recipe on mucosa repair after EMR and ESD
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2012;(12):1078-1080
Objective To observe the influences of Yiqi-Humo recipe,A traditional Chinese prescription,on mucosa repair after endoscopic mucosal resction (EMR) and (or) endoscopic submucoal dissection (ESD).Methods 32 patients,who received EMR or ESD,were randomly recurited into a control group with 14 patients (omeprazole) and a experiment group with 18 patients (Yiqi-Humo recipe + omeprazole).Patients of both groups received treatment for a period of 4 weeks.Follow-up endoscopy was performed at 1 and 4 weeks after EMR or ESD,the index of symptom and mucosa signs were evaluated before and after the operation.Results At the 4 weeks after the procedure,the index of pain,pantothenic acid,anorexia,burning sensation in the experiment group [(0± 0.00)、(0± 0.00)、(2 ± 0.11)、(1 ± 0.06)] were lower than those in the control group [(12±0.86)、(6±0.43)、(15 ± 1.07)、(14± 1.00),P<0.01].The index of hyperemia and edema of the experiment group [(3 ± 0.17)、(3 ± 0.17)] were less than those of the control group [(16± 1.14)、(15 ± 1.07),P< 0.01].Conclusion The prescription of Yiqi-Humo recipe promoted mucosa repair significantly after EMR or ESD.
9.The effect of TGF-?_1 on expression of paxillin in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line
Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 1983;0(05):-
Objective To explore the effect of transforming growth factor ?_1 (TGF-?_1) on expression of paxillin(Pax) in human kidney proximal tubular epithelial cell line (HKC cells) in different phases. Methods HKC cells cultured in vitro were divided into four groups at random. Control group(C group): HKC cells were cultured with serum free medium (FSM), and TGF-?_1-treated groups (T1, T2, T3 group): HKC cells were cultured with FSM containing 10ng/ml TGF-?_1. In the latter groups, duration of treatment varied as follows: T1 group for 24h, T2 group for 48h, T3 group for 72h. The proliferation of HKC cells induced by TGF-?_1 was assessed by MTT and the expression of Pax was determined. The gene expression of Pax was determined by reverse transcripton polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and the protein expression of Pax was assessed by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot. Results TGF-?_1 could induce the proliferation of HKC cells in a time-dependent manner. In C group there was expression of Pax mRNA and protein in HKC cells. The expression of Pax mRNA and protein in HKC cells was positive in all the T groups, especially in T2 group and T3 group they were significantly increased compared with T1 group (P
10.Human kidney proximal tubular epithelial cell line expresses paxillin induced by TGF-?_1
Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(10):-
Objective To investigate the expression of Paxillin (Pax) in human kidney proximal tubular epithelial cell line (HKC) induced by transforming growth factor ?1(TGF?1). Methods HKC cells cultured in vitro were divided into three groups at random: control group(C): cultured with free serum medium(FSM), TGF?1-treated groups (T1 and T2): cultured with FSM containing different concentrations of TGF?1 (T1: 5 ng/ml, T2: 10 ng/ml). After 48-hour treatment, the expression of Pax mRNA and protein was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemical staining in HKC cells respectively. Results In Group C, the expression of Pax mRNA and protein in HKC cells was elementary. However, in T1 and T2 groups , the expression of Pax mRNA and protein in HKC cells was greatly increased, especially in T2 group which was more significantly increased than T1 group (P
