According to the age of onset, childhood acne can be divided into neonatal acne, infantile acne, preschool acne, and prepubertal acne. Neonatal acne and infantile acne can serve as predictive factors for severe adolescent acne, preschool acne may be related to underlying endocrine diseases, and prepubertal acne is a sign of pubertal maturation. The treatment of childhood acne is similar to that of adolescent acne, and adverse effects of drugs and their impact on the growth and development of children should be considered.

Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of high frequency oscillatory ventilation(HFOV) in children with measles complicated with severe pneumonia and the acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods A total of 63 children with measles complicated with severe pneumonia and the ARDS were divided into conventional mechanical ventilation(CMV) group and HFOV group.The PaO2/ FiO2,oxygenation index (OI),HR and mean arterial pressure (MAP) before treatment and 12 h,24 h,48 h after treatment were detected.The rate of air leak and the motality in two groups were compared.The efficacy and safety of HFOV treatment were evaluated in children with measles complicated with pneumonia and severe ARDS.Results In HFOV group,the PaO2/FiO2 ratio was elevated and OI was decreased significantly after 12 h and maintained for at least 48 h.Compared with CMV group,OI of HFOV group improved more significantly,and the difference was statistically significant.The ventilation time in HFOV group was shorten than that in CMV group[(7.97 ±3.06) d vs.(11.03 ±3.60) d],but there was no statistical difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The heart rate after treatment 48 h was gradually returned to normal,and there was no statistical difference between the two groups.There were no significant changes in the MAP of two groups after treatment.There were no significant differences in the incidence of air leak between the CMV group and the HFOV group(24.2％ vs.16.7％).The mortality rate of CMV group and HFOV group was respectively 45.5 ％ and 33.3 ％,and there was no statistically significant difference.Conclusion HFOV was effective in oxygenation and seems to be safe for pediatric patients with measles complicated with severe pneumonia and the ARDS.Also it didn't influence the occurrence of complications.It has no adverse influence on hemodynamic parameters.Early intervention of HFOV is safe and effective for the children with measles complicated with severe pneumonia and ARDS.

Bletilla striata has been used as traditional Chinese medicine for several centuries. In recent years, the quality and quantity of wild B. striata plants have declined sharply due to habitat deterioration and human over-exploitation. Therefore, it is of great urgency to evaluate and protect B. striata wild plant resource. In this study, sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were applied to assess the level and pattern of genetic diversity in twelve populations of B. striata. The results showed a high level of genetic diversity (PPB = 90.48%, H = 0.349 4, I = 0.509 6) and moderate genetic differentiation among populations (G(st) = 0.260 9). Based on the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA), twelve populations gathered in three clusters. The cluster 1 included four populations. There are Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Xuancheng and Hangzhou. The seven populations which come from Hubei Province, Hunan Province, Jiangxi Province and Guizhou Province belonged to the cluster 2. The cluster 3 only contained Wenshan population. Moreover, Mantel test revealed significant positive correlation between genetic distances and geographic distances (r = 0.632 9; P < 0.000 1). According to the results, we proposed a series of conservation consideration for B. striata.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the coagulation system status and the pulmonary hemorrhage in children with severe hand,foot and mouth disease(HFMD)and approach the clinical significance of early detection of coagulation function. Methods By prospective case design method,89 cases with HFMD admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Hebei Provincial Children Hospital from July 2010 to July 2012 were enrolled. The children were divided into severe group(46 cases)and critical group(43 cases)according to the severity of disease,and the children in critical group were subdivided into survivor group(26 cases)and non-survivor group (17 cases). Forty-four healthy children with the same age and in the same period were served as healthy control group. The blood of children was collected immediately after admission for determination of blood routine, prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT),activated partial thrombin time(APTT),fibrinogen(Fg),and D-dimer (DD). Results There were no significant differences in PT,TT,APTT and Fg among severe group,critical group and health control group(all P>0.05). The blood platelets count(PLT)in severe group and critical group was significantly lower than that in health control group(×109/L:245±130,237±156 vs. 389±120),while the DD was significantly higher than that in healthy control group(mg/L:0.34±0.67,0.41±0.08 vs. 0.24±0.13),and the DD in critical group was obviously higher than that in severe group(all P<0.05). The mortality rate in critical group was 39.5%,and there were no significant differences in PT,APTT,Fg,TT and PLT between survivor group and non-survivor group(all P>0.05),but the DD in non-survivor group was significantly lower than that in survivor group(mg/L:0.60±0.09 vs. 0.12±0.09,P<0.05). Conclusions In children with severe or critical HFMD, the coagulation factor and blood platelet were in a state of mobilization,mild consumption state with the existence of fibrinolytic inhibition,but without systemic bleeding tendency,therefore it is in a compensatory stage of disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC),not the mechanism of pulmonary hemorrhage. The monitor of DD has its clinical significance in evaluations of the disease situation and its prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of curcumin affecting HIV-1 infection co-receptor CCR5 by regulating transcription factor FOXP3.Methods:Binding sites of transcription factor FOXP3 on CCR5 promoter were predicted and analyzed by bioinformatics method.AutoDock 4.2 software was used to connect curcumin and FOXP3 flexibly.MTT assay was used to detect cyto-toxcity of curcumin on activity of Jurkat cells.qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect expression levels of CCR5 and FOXP3 mRNA and protein in Jurkat cells that were treated with different concentrations of curcumin.pcDNA3.1-FOXP3 expression vector was built and combined with the prediction results of transcription factors.The mutant CCR5 gene fragment was amplified by Overlap PCR,and the mutant CCR5 promoter recombinant vector pFireRluc-Mt-CCR5 was constructed.Binding site between transcription fac-tor FOXP3 and CCR5 promoter was verified by double luciferase reporter gene assay.Results:Results of JASPAR transcription factor prediction showed that there was a binding site between CCR5 promoter and transcription factor FOXP3;molecular docking results showed that curcumin could bind to the active region of FOXP3;MTT results showed that curcumin inhibited the activity of Jurkat cells after 24 hours,and the IC50 was 34.48 μmol/L.qRT-PCR and Western blot showed that expression levels of CCR5 and FOXP3 mRNA and protein were decreased in a dose-dependent manner after different concentrations of curcumin treated Jurkat cells;double luciferase reporter gene confirmed that FOXP3 could bind to CCR5 promoter,and the transcription factor FOXP3 could regulate the activity of CCR5 promoter;results of the recovery experiment of FOXP3 on curcumin showed that when the curcumin concentration was 60 μmol/L,relative value of luciferase activity in HEK293T cells with pcDNA3.1-FOXP3 and pFireRluc-Wt-CCR5 was signifi-cantly higher than that in pFireRluc-Wt-CCR5+curcumin-60 group(P<0.01).Conclusion:FOXP3 can regulate the activity of CCR5 promoter,and the mechanism may be that curcumin affects activity of CCR5 promoter by acting on binding site of FOXP3 and CCR5 promoter.
