Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited vasculitis of children and the principal cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. The recent follow-up studies of KD revealed that cardiac sequelae had been observed for many years in a minority of patients with KD. Cardiac sequelae especially the coronary artery aneurysm is the leading cause of ischemic heart disease or even the sudden death.The long-term management of KD was developed in many countries in order to prevent the cardiac events.This paper reviews the long-term prognosis and follow-up of KD.

At present, oncology medical student in our country has many communication problems, such as communication awareness is not strong,the lack of communication,communication is not enough self-confidence and other issues.To improve the communication ability between doctors and patients for the oncology professional medical students:it is the necessary premise for correct implementation of diagnosis and treatment, an effective way to reduce medical disputes, adapt to the demand of the development of higher medical education.And pointed out the effective ways to improve the ability of doctor-patient communication:to set up the doctor-patient communi-cation and tumor department before the internship training course;establishlisten with your heart and professional guidancemode;with teacher actively guiding; learn to empathymode; adhere to the concept of taking pa-tients as the center.

Objective To clarify the relationship between the serum prolactin (PRL),immunity and prognosis of the critical patients.Methods The data of 80 patients with complete clinical data in the Intensive Care Unit of the Fujian Provincial Hospital during October 1,2010 to October 1,2011 were collected.The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the prognosis:death group and survival group.Fasting blood is extracted respectively on the morning of the 2nd day after they were admitted,the 4th day and the 8th day.Chemiluminescence immunoassay system was used to detect the serum PRL,flow cytometers to test peripheral blood T-lymphocyte subsets,and immunization rate nephelometry to check the 5 items for bumoral immunity in peripheral blood.The multi-factor repeated measure analysis of variance was used in the comparison of the two groups.Results Compared with those of the survival group,the serum PRL (P=0.037,0.036,0.030),the percentages of CD3+ (P=0.034,0.023,0.023),CD4+ (P =0.046,0.003,0.046) and CD8+ (P =0.040,0.039,0.045) cells of the death group were significantly lower.However,positive correlation exists between the value of serum PRL and the percentages ofCD3+,CD4+ and CD8+ cells (P=0.004,0.043,0.003):the higher the former,the higher the latter.Conclusions The change of cellular immunity is important for the prognosis of the patients.Downgradationof the cellular innunity indicates an undesirable prognosis.The serum PRL may work positively on cellular immunity.

In recent years, with the changes of human living environment, the morbidity of respiratory tiact allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, infant wheezing, allergic asthma, and other diseases increased rapidly, thereby affecting the quality of children′s life, and increasing heavy burdens to families and society.Microbial infection, including virus, bacteria, mycoplasma pneumoniae/chlamydia, fungi and parasites, can regulate the occurrence and development of respiratory tract allergic diseases through the immune mechanism.In order to deepen the understanding of the relationship between respiratory allergy and microbial infection and its related mechanism, the research progress on the relationship between respiratory allergy and microbial infection was reviewed in this paper.

Objectives To investigate the correlation between HIF-1α expression level and clinical pathological characteristics of ovarian carcinoma in the elderly.Methods The expression levels of HIF-1α in normal ovary tissue,benign ovarian tumor tissue,borderline ovarian tumor tissue and ovarian cancer tissue were detected in the elderly by immunohistochemical method.And the correlations between HIF-1α expression level and clinical pathological characteristics of ovarian carcinoma were analyzed in the elderly.Results The HIF-1α expression was almost nothing in normal ovarian and benign ovarian tumor tissues,low in the borderline ovarian tissues,and high in the ovarian cancer tissue(Z=11.324,P =0.002).The IOD value of tissues was higher in borderline ovarian tumor tissue[(2.58 ± 0.65) × 105] and ovarian cancer tissue [(5.95 ± 1.02) × 105] than in normal ovary tissue[(1.90±0.35) × 105]and benign ovarian tumor tissue[1.95±0.41) × 105] (F=15.711,P=0.001).The expression of HIF-1α in the tissues was lower in ovarian cancer with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,high or moderate differentiation and non-metastatic lymph node than in ovarian cancer with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ,low differentiation and metastatic lymph node (x2 =4.714,6.121,6.364;P =0.030,0.013,0.012).Conclusions The expression of HIF-1α is up-regulated in ovarian cancer in the elderly compared with normal ovarian tissues,which may be related to occurrence,development and clinical prognosis of ovarian cancer.

Objective To investigate the adhesion mechanism of Lactobacillus acidophilus FN001外to Peyer's patches. Methods Adhesion of L. acidophilus FN001 to mice Peyer's patches was studied in vitro using a fluorescent quantization method. The nature of adhesion mediator was studied by the effects of physical, chemical and enzymatic pre-treatments of the bacteria on their adhesion and effect of sugars on in- hibition of adhesion. The presence of lectin-like proteins in the cell surface was determined by hemagglutina- tion. Effect of L. acidophilus FN001 on inhibition of adhesion of pathogens to Peyer's patches was also stud- ied. Results The adhesion of L. acidophilus FN001 was strongly inhibited in the presence of D-mannose and methyl-ct-D-mannoside. Pretreatment of L. acidophilus FN001 with pepsin and trypsin decreased the ad- hesive capacity indicating that cell surface proteins are involved in adhesion to Peyer's patches. L. acidophi- lus FN001 could agglutinate rabbit red cell in mannose specific manner and protease pretreatment could de-crease hemagglutinin, suggesting that L. acidophilus FN001 has mannose specific lectin (s). In adherence inhibition assay, L. acidophilus NF001 could significantly inhibit adhesion of E. coli ATCC25922 to Peyer's patches when L. acidophilus NF001 were applied to Peyer's patches first or at the same time with pathogen. Conclusion It was concluded that a mannose-specific protein mediated adhesion of L. acidophilus FN001 to the Peyer's patches, and L. acidophilus FN001 could inhibit adhesion of pathogen with similar lectins speci- ficity to Peyer's patches.

ObjectiveTo assess the differential diagnostic value of serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP)in distinguishing intestinal ischemia patients from acute abdomen patients.MethodsA total of 151 patients with acute abdomen and 17 healthy controls from the PLA General Hospital were enrolled from November,2009 to August,2011. Serum I-FABP levels were measured by ELISA.According to the ROC curve,the cut-off value,sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio (PLR),negative likelihood ratio ( NLR),positive predietive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated. ResultsOf the 151 acute abdomen patients,there were 24 intestinal ischemia patients and 127 without intestinal ischemia.Serum I-FABP level in intestinal ischemia group [( 109.67 ±48.82) μg/L]was significantly higher than those in patients without intestinal ischemia [(36.78 ± 11.25) μg/L]and healthy controls[(8.33 ±6.25) μg/L]( all P values ＜0.01 ).The serum I-FABP cut-off value for the diagnosis of intestinal ischemia was 87.52 μg/L.Serum I-FABP was efficient in terms of sensitivity (0.762),NPV(0.963),PLR(3.05) and NLR (0.24) in the diagnosis of intestinal ischemia.ConclusionI-FABP is potentially useful for discriminating intestinal ischemia from acute abdomen.
