OBJECTIVETo observe the long-term therapeutic efficacy of standardized specific subcutaneous immunotherapy on persistent allergic rhinitis in children. METHODSFrom Jan. 2007 to Aug. 2009, 236 children with persistent allergic rhinitis were divided into two groups, which 120 cases underwent standardized house dust mite allergen subcutaneous specific immunotherapy (SCIT), another 116 cases accepted a serious of steroids nasal spray and oral antihistamine (control group). The efficacy of the patients was evaluated by using the visual analog scale (VAS) and Rhino conjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ).RESULTSAfter patients underwent 3-years SCIT, the VAS score was 2.3±0.7, 2.4±0.6, 1.6±0.4, 1.9±0.5, and the RQLQ score was 7.7±1.6, 7.4±1.1, 4.3±0.7, 4.1±0.9, respectively, at the follow-up period of 3 month, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years, and both scores were significantly lower than the score of pre-treatment (P<0.001). Compared the single dust mite allergen positive patients with multiple allergens positive patients, both VAS and RQLQ scores were not significantly changed at each follow-up period after SCIT (P>0.05). No serious adverse events occurred in all treatments.CONCLUSIONThe standardized specific immunotherapy has the long-term efficacy for dust mite positive children with persistent allergic rhinitis. It demonstrated a similar effect in both single dust mite positive patients and multiple allergens positive patients.

AIM: To investigate the effect of c-Myc inhibitor 10058-F4 on human chronic myeloid leukemia ( CML) K562 cells and imatinib-resistant K562/G cells.METHODS: The protein expression of c-Myc was detected by Western blotting .Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay and colony formation assay .PI staining was used to deter-mine the cell cycle distribution .Annexin V-PI staining was applied for apoptosis detection .RESULTS:Imatinib-resistant K562/G cells displayed lower sensitivity to imatinib than K 562 cells with high expression of c-Myc.Treatment with specific c-Myc inhibitor 10058-F4 inhibited the cell proliferation in a dose-and time-dependent manner , and K562/G displayed more sensitivity to 10058-F4 than K562 cells.10058-F4 also induced cell cycle arrest in G 0/G1 phase and induced apoptot-ic cell death in the 2 cells.Importantly, 10058-F4 suppressed the colony formation ability in K 562 and K562/G cells. CONCLUSION:c-Myc is a novel target to overcome imatinib-induced drug resistance , and c-Myc inhibitor provides a new approach in CML therapy .

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship of marriage quality with individual characteristics and copy style among the epilepsy patients.MethodsThe Chinese Marriage Quality Questionnaire,and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Short Form Scale-Chinese edition (EPQ-RSC),and the Questionnaire of Simple Way to Coping were assessed used to assess 97 cases of the aduh married epilepsy patients and 93 cases of the control group 1 (epilepsy patients spouses) and 91 cases of the control group 2 (healthy crowds ).ResultsThe total scores of the marriage quality of epilepsy patients ( 295.78 ± 40.37 ) was lower than ones in the control group 2 ( ( 354.85 ± 28.11 ),P =0.000) and higher than that of the control group 1 ( (278.55 ± 42.23 ),P =0.014),the difference was all statistically significant(P< 0.05).The total scores of marriage quality of the epilepsy patients was negative correlated with the sex,and the age,and the marriage age and the severity,and the duration,and psychoticism( the Pearson correlation was respectively:-0.204,-0.436,-0.243,-0.691,-0.568,-0.635 ),and was positive correlated with which the formal schooling,and the attack types (symptoms epilepsy),and the introversion or extroversion,and the hidness,and the positive( the Pearson correlation was respectively 0.317,0.750,0.267,0.386,0.188) the difference was all statistically significant (P < 0.05).Those seven variables that the attack type,and the hidness,and the severity,and the sex,and the education,and the psychoticism,and the positive could be predict to marriage quality of epilepsy patients,Adjusted R square was 0.903,After adjustment was 0.021 (P < 0.05 ).ConclusionThe lever of marriage quality of the epilepsy patients is lower,and correlate with severity of epilepsy disease,and personality,copy style,and can be do comprehensive intervention from those.

of NB4 cells at S phase was lower than those in control group (P <0.05),and the number of NB4 cells at G1 phase was increased (P <0.05).The expression levels of Bcl-2 in ICA groups were significantly lower than that in control group (P < 0.05 ), while the expression levels of Bax were higher than that in control group (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion ICA can induce the apoptosis of NB4 cells via inhibiting the expression level of Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression level of Bax.

Blau syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the a mix of granulomatous arthritis, uveitis, and dermatitis. Patients typically manifest multisystem involvement, including ocular, skin, and skeletal abnormalities. Blau syndrome is extremely rare, with a global incidence of less than one in a million among children. In this multidisciplinary consultation, we present a case of a 21-year-old young female patient having multisystemic involvement since early childhood. She was presented with multiple joint swelling, skin lesions, increased eye discharge, and accompanied by hypertension and arterial abnormalities, and received a diagnosis of uveitis. The patient had been receiving steroid treatment since the age of 6 and has tried various medications, with some improvement in joint swelling and ocular symptoms. Through this rare disease multidisciplinary consultation, we aim to provide guidance in the molecular diagnosis of the patient, multisystem assessment, and the selection and formulation of treatment plans. Additionally, we hope that by reporting this case, clinical physicians can gain a better understanding of the diagnosis and comprehensive treatment strategies for Blau syndrome, thereby improving the management and treatment of rare diseases.
