7.Rhinovirus infection and acute exacerbation of asthma in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(6):577-579
Human rhinovirus (HRV) infection is an important predisposing factor of acute asthma attacks and exacerbations, but the pathogenic mechanism is extremely complex. Inflammatory responses can be caused by the direct effect of rhinovirus and the release of inflammatory mediators and inflammatory cell infiltration. HRV infection stimulates the body's abnormal immune response, especially Thl / Th2 immune imbalance and dysfunction of regulatory T cells has attracted extensive attention. In-depth study in the pathogenic mechanism of acute asthma exacerbation induced by HRV infection in children is essential to elucidate the pathogenesis of asthma and to explore immunotherapy of asthma.
8.The role of TGF-β/BMP signaling pathway in the development of cardiac outflow tract
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(6):551-554
Conotruncal anomaly is composed of a group of complex congenital heart diseases. Cardiac outflow tract (OFT) plays an essential role in the cardiac conotruncal development. Recently, transforming growth factor β/bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathway has become a research hotspot, which is recognized as a important regulation mechanism in many processes of the cardiac development, such as separation of OFT and maturation of septums. In this paper we describe the role of the signaling pathway and its effect on the development of cardiac OFT.
9.Progress on chromosome 22q11 deletion syndrome
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(3):237-240
Chromosome 22qll deletion syndrome(22q11DS) is a common chromosomal microdeletion syndrome. Its clinical manifestation is complex, comprising congenital heart disease, dysmorphic facial, immunodeficiency, endocrine dysfunction and so on. The syndrome has a population prevalence of approximately 1/2500-1/4000. There have been many recent advances in understanding of the clinical manifestation, behavior and psychiatric problems and the mechanisms leading to the specific phenotypic features in chromosome 22q11 deletion syndrome. Asymmetric recombination of homologous low copy repetitives in the deletion region causes the deletion of 22q11. TBX1 is the dominant gene contributing to the phenotype.
