Objectives To explore the humoral immunologic mechanisms of the susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD) in asthmatic children. Methods Plasma samples were collected from 43 asthmatic and 20 non-asthmatic chil-dren. Anit-pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide (PPS)-IgG concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results The mean concentrations of anti-PPS 14, 19A and 23F-IgG were signiifcantly higher in asthmatic children than in non-asthmatic children (P<0.05). The ratios of the asthmatic children who had anti-PPS 14, 19A and 23F-IgG concentrations higher than the protective antibody level (≥0.2 μg/ml ) were 100%for all the serotypes. Conclusions The immune responses of producing anti-PPS IgG to defense IPD were normal in asthmatic children. Asthmatic children may be more susceptive to pneumococcal infection or colonization than non-asthmatic children.

ObjectiveTo detect the value of ultrasound-guided steroids injection for the treatment of plantar fasciitis.MethodsThirty-eight physical therapy ineffective plantar fasciitis patients were enrolled in this study, and randomly divided into ultrasound-guided and palpation-guided groups. Pain intensity was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) and plantar fasciitis were evaluated by high frequency ultrasound including assessment of the thickness before injection and at 4 weeks, 12 weeks post injection.ResultsThirty-eight patients who received either ultrasound guided or palpation-guided injection had significantly lower visual analog scale scores and lower plantar fascia thickness (bothP<0.01) at 4 weeks, 12 weeks post injection. The differences in plantar fascia thickness, VAS score between the two groups before, and at the 4 weeks follow-up were not statistically significant [2.52±0.77vs 2.68±0.82,P>0.05; (4.56±0.25) mmvs (4.72±0.38) mm, P>0.05]. However, the ultrasound guided group had lower mean visual analog scale score (1.47±0.77vs 2.37±0.68,P<0.01) and lower mean plantar fascia thickness [(4.02±0.24) mmvs (4.53±0.35) mm,P<0.01] than the palpation-guided group at 12 weeks post injection. The calcification of the plantar fascia at 12 weeks post injection in ultrasound guided group was completely disappeared or significantly decreased.ConclusionUltrasound-guided injection for treating plantar fasciitis is more accurate and effective than palpation-guided injection, and is of great clinical value for both patients and doctors.

Objective To investigate the effect of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training on patients with three types of insom-nia disorder. Methods From June, 2016 to March, 2017, 17 patients in simple insomnia group, 19 patients in insomnia with anxiety group, and 19 patients in insomnia with depression group were included. All the patients received HRV biofeedback training and same medication (zolpidem tartrate, 10 mg every night). They were assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and HRV parameters were tracked before and after training. Re-sults After training, the scores of PSQI, SCL-90, HAMA , HAMD and the ratio of low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) (LF/HF) de-creased in all groups (t>1.446, P<0.05). There was significant difference in PSQI among three groups (F=3.537, P=0.038). The D-values of the PSQI score and LF/HF before and after training were more in the insomnia with anxiety group and the insomnia with depression group than in the simple insomnia group (P<0.05), however, no significant difference was observed between the insomnia with anxiety group and the insomnia with depression group (P>0.05). Conclusion HRV biofeedback training could improve the symptoms of patients with three types of insomnia disorder, especially for those with anxiety or depression.
