Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection complicated with allergic purpura.Methods 40 children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection complicated with allergic purpura were selected.Clinical symptoms,disease treatment and outcome were analyzed retrospectively.Results 25 cases were abdominal type allergic purpura,9 cases were articulated joints allergic purpura,6 cases were kidney patients with allergic purpura.In addition,some patients showed upper or lower respiratory tract infections.All the patients received blood circulation improvement,anti-allergy and other conventional treatment,and on the basis of this,azithromycin,low-dose dexamethasone or gamma globulin was given.All 40 patients were cured,the average length of hospital stay was (18.6 ± 3.1) d.Conclusion Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection may trigger allergic purpura purpura-like rash,the clinical symptoms,some accompanied by lower respiratory infections,should give the conventional anti-mycoplasma pneumoniae infection treatment,and the treatment time should be sufficient to cure allergic purpura,shortening hospitalization time,has an important role in the prevention of recurrent disease.

Objective To explore the pathogenic bacteria′s distribution and their drug resistance of urinary tract infection in children.Methods A total of 555 pathogen strains in urinary tract infection for children from inpatients and outpatients from Jan.2005 to Dec 2006 were identified and the drug resistance test was preformed.Results In the 555 strains of bacteria,80.7% were Gram-negative,17.7%were Gram-positive and 1.6%were fungi.Most of Gram-negative bacteria were E.coli,among 300 strains of identified Escherichia,69.3% of them(208 strains) produced extended speetrum ? lactamases(ESBLs);among 41 strains of identified Klebsiella pneumoniae,78.1% of them(32 strains) produced ESBLs.Most of Gram-positive bacteria were Enterococcus,there were 70 strains(12.6%),sensitivity rates of nitrofurantion and vancomycin were 100%.Conclusion Gram-negative is the main infection bacterium in urinary tract infection for children and the most of them are very serious drug resistant.The clinicians should pay more attentions to idstream urin bacteriology culture and choose the suitable antibiotic according to the results of antibiotic susceptibility tests.

Objective To observe the effect of ethanol extract and ethyl acetate extract of Capparis Spinosa on the thickness of dermis,synthesis of collagen type Ⅰ,type Ⅲ,and expression of transforming growth factor-β1 in mouse models of scleroderma.Methods Mouse models of scleroderma were established through local injection of bleomycin on the back once a day for 4 weeks.After confirmation of model establishment,72 mouse models were equally and randomly divided into three groups.Two groups received topical treatment with ethanol extract of Capparis Spinosa and ethyl acetate extract of Capparis Spinosa,respectively,no treatment was given to the rest of the control group.After 2-,4-,6-week treatment,8 mice were sacrificed and tissue samples were obtained from the back,and subiected to the measurement of dermal thickness by HE staining,as well as to the analysis of expression of collagen type Ⅰ,collagen type Ⅲ and transforming growth factor-β1 by immunohistochemical staining.Results On week 2,4,6,the thickness of dermis was 23.22,24.94,19.97 μm respectively in mice treated with ethanol extract of Capparis Spinosa,27.66.26.15,22.13 μm respectively in those treated with ethyl acetate extract of Capparis Spinosa.Compared with the mouse models without treatment,the thickness of dermis significantly decreased(F=12.99,P＜0.01),the expression of collagen type Ⅰ(F=7.47,P＜0.01)and transforming growth factor-β1(F=11.76,P＜0.01)were also inhibited in those receiving treatment.However,the expression of collagen type Ⅲ was not affected obviously by the treatment.Conclusion The ethanol extract and ethyl acetate extract of Capparis Spinosa have the effect against skin fibrosis.
