Up to 80% of type 1 diabetes melitus children present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Stroke in children with DKA children is uncommon but life-threatening. Various types of stroke, such as ischemic, cerebral venous thrombosis, and hemorrhagic stroke were observed in children with DKA. In this article, we review the literatures regarding stroke in children with DKA.

Objective To evaluate the preliminary screening effect of the ESS、SAQLI and QOLOSAHS for OSAHS,and find out the most effective preliminary screening method.Methods The scores of ESS、SAQLI、QOL-OSAHS of the 93 participants were analyzed.The predictive values of the three scales for OSAHS were determined by receiver operator curve and discriminatory analysis.Results The sensitivity and specificity of ESS(ESS≥9 points) were 0.486 and 0.870.The sensitivity and specificity of SAQLI (≤246 points) were 0.914 and 0.522.The sensitivity and specificity of QOL-OSAHS (≤161 points) were 0.886 and 0.522.Conclusions ESS、SAQLI、QOL-OSAHS have moderate predictive value for OSAHS.SAQLI is better to drinker than ESS for diagnosis of OSAHS.

Objective:To explore the possible role of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1), tumor necrosis factor-α receptor Ⅰ (TNFR-Ⅰ), tumor necrosis factor-α receptor Ⅱ (TNFR-Ⅱ) in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris.Methods:15 cases of normal skin and 20 cases of psoriasis vulgaris in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's hospital were enrolled. Immunohistochemical staining techniques were used to detect the expression of ERAP1, TNFR-Ⅰ, TNFR-Ⅱ protein in the two groups. Statistical analysis was then performed to compare the difference in expression between the two groups.Results:⑴ In normal skin , ERAP1 is mainly expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis. In the psoriatic vulgaris lesions, ERAP1 was diffusely positive. The expression of ERAP1 in the psoriatic lesions was stronger than that of normal tissues, with stastically significant difference ( Z=-4.170, P<0.05). ⑵ TNFR-Ⅰ is diffusedly expressed in the normal skin tissues. However, in the epidermis of psoriatic lesions, the expression of TNFR-Ⅰ in the spinous layer was stronger than that of the basal layer (χ 2=17.740, P<0.05). ⑶ In the normal skin, TNFR-Ⅱ was not expressed; in the psoriatic lesions, TNFR-Ⅱ was diffusely expressed in the basal cell layer and acanthosis of the epidermis in varying degrees, and the difference between normal and psoriatic skin was statistically significant (χ 2=17.500, P<0.001). ⑷ The expression of ERAP1 in the epidermis of psoriasis vulgaris was negatively correlated with TNFR-Ⅰ ( rs=-0.662, P=0.001). There was no significant correlation between ERAP1 and TNFR-Ⅱ ( rs=0.343, P=0.139). Conclusions:ERAP1, TNFR-Ⅰ, and TNFR-Ⅱ may play important roles in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris. They may interact with each other to regulate the proliferation and apoptosis of keratinocyte in order to maintain the abnormal proliferation and benign proliferation of psoriasis vulgaris epidermis.
