Objective To explore the distribution of inflam m atory cells and positive expression of P-se-lectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSG L-1) in infant brainstem tissue from hand-foot-m outh disease related fatal brainstem encephalitis. Methods Tw enty brainstem sam ples from infants suffered from brainstem en-cephalitis w ere collected as the experim ental group. Ten brainstem sam ples from infants died of non-brain diseases and injuries w ere collected as the control group. The distribution of inflam m atory cells and the expression of PSG L-1 in the tw o groups w ere exam ined by im m unohistochem ical m ethod. The characteristics of the positive cells w ere observed. Results In brainstem tissue of the experim ental group, there w ere sleeve infiltrations of inflam m atory cells around the vessels and in the glial nodule. Microglia was the m ost and following was neutrophils around the vessels and in the glial nodule. There was a significant statistical difference am ong m icroglias, neutrophils and lym phocytes (P<0.05). There was no sleeve infiltration in the control group. PSG L-1 protein was expressed w idely in inflam m atory cells in the experim ental group, especially in the inflam m atory cells around the vessels and in the glial nodule. B ut PSG L-1 positive staining could be observed significantly less in the control group com paring with the experim ental group (P<0.05). Conclusion Microglia is the m ain type of inflam m atory cells involved in the progress of the fatal disease. Moreover, PSG L-1 could participate in the pathogenesis of hand-foot-m outh disease related fatal brainstem encephalitis.

To explore the clinical features and common complications of fast resting heart rate (RHR) in hypertensionpatients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the entire rest electrocardiogram data of Qingdao study 2000 and Xinyang study2005 in community population elder than 18 years including hypertension patients and non-hypertension subjects. Clinical complications as diabetes, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia and stroke, laboratory findings, RHR in ECG, body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio and office blood pressure were collected in all participants. Results: A total of 18183 participants were enrolled including 61.6% male, the average age was (45.2±12.7) years including 6763 hypertension patients. Compared with normal BP subjects, hypertension patients had the faster RHR (73.5±11.6) times/min vs (70.6±9.6) times/min, P<0.001 and more hypertension patients combining fast RHR (14.5% vs 6.4%), P<0.001. In hypertension patients, compared with normal RHR patients, fast RHR patients had the elder age (53.9±12.2) years vs (51.8±11.2) years, lower BMI (25.8±3.6) kg/m2 vs (26.4±3.4) kg/m2 and higher ratio of grade 3 hypertension (68.2%vs 59.0%), all P<0.001; higher levels of fasting blood glucose (6.0±2.4) mmol/L vs (5.6±1.5) mmol/L and triglyceride (2.0±1.8) mmol/L vs (1.7±1.3) mmol/L, both P<0.001, higher LDL-C (3.2±0.9) mmol/L vs (3.1±0.8) mmol/L, P=0.001;more patients with diabetes (6.6% vs 3.9%), P=0.007 and stroke (11.1% vs 8.3%), P=0.005. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that with adjusted traditional risk factors, fast RHR was positively related to stroke occurrence in hypertension patients (OR=1.306, 95% CI 1.021-1.671). Conclusion: Fast RHR happened more in hypertension patients than in normal BP subjects; it had the increased risk for stroke occurrence in hypertension patients.

We isolated and examined a new Alternaria sp., which causes leaf spots on Peucedanum japonicum in Korea, by using molecular and morphological methods. Phylogenetic analysis based on a combined internal transcribed spacer region analysis and two protein-coding genes (gpd and Alt a1) demonstrated that the causal fungus was most closely related to A. cinerariae and A. sonchi, and relevant to A. brassicae. However, conidial morphology indicated that it is a novel species within the genus Alternaria, and therefore we have assigned the fungus a new name in this study.
