Cough is a common respiratory symptom in children.To evaluate severity of cough and the quality-of-life in children with chronic cough,cough scores,generic questionnaires and cough-specific health-related quality of life questionnaires have been developed.Different questionnaires have their own particular features,recently the validity and reliability of the cough-specific health-related quality of life questionnaires are supposed to be high in assessing quality of life,and have been proved to be quite valid and reliable tools.Studies have shown that chronic cough not only affects physical status in children,but also seriously affects their psychological health,social activities and family life negatively.Therefore,evaluating severity of cough and impacting on quality of life contributes to the clinical development of appropriate interventions.

Paediatric fulminant myocarditis presentation occurs acute onset,rapid progress,often with serious arrhythmia,cardic shock or heart failure,which lead to death during the acute phase.Symptoms with shortness of breath,cyanosis,vomiting,abdominal pain were commonly observed,and may be easy to delay the diagnosis.Early recognition and appropriate treatment can reduce mortality of fulminant myocarditis in children.This paper also summarized the hemodynamic monitoring,extracorporeal membrane oxygenation,and circulatory support by temporary ventricular assist devices application in fulminant myocarditis.

Objective To explore the expressions of IgA,IgM,IgD,IgE in ovarian epithelial carcinoma and their correlations with pathological grades of ovarian epithelial carcinoma.Methods The expressions of IgA,IgM,IgD,IgE in ovarian epithelial carcinoma tissue microarrays (including 177 cases of ovarian epithelial carcinoma)and 50 cases of ovarian benign tumor tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The expressions of IgA,IgM,IgD,IgE in ovarian epithelial carcinoma tissues were significant higher than those in ovarian benign tumor epithelial tissues (P

Objectives To explore the effects of gross hematuria on the results of several parmeters in laboratory urine examination. Methods Eighty (80) children with IgA nephropathy and 40 cases with acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis hospitalized in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2015 were recruited. The ratio of urinary calcium and protein to creatinine, quantitative test of 24 h urinary calcium and protein, quantitative test of 24 h urinary albumin,α1-microglobulinuria, microalbuminuria and urine protein electrophoresis were tested during and after the gross hematuria, respectively. Results The ratio of urinary calcium and protein to creatinine, quantitative test of 24 h urinary calcium and protein were much higher in the duration of gross hematuria as compared to those after the duration of gross hematuria, while α1-microglobulinuria, microalbuminuria and quantitative test of 24 h urinary albumin showed no difference between the two periods. Conclusions Gross hematuria could increase the level of urinary calcium and protein, while quantitative test of 24 h urinary albremin is not affected.

Objective To study the effect of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism on serum lipids and the relationship between apolipoprotein E polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods Polymerize chain reaction (PCR) and HhaI digestion were used for the detection of apolipoprotein E genotype on 71 patients with CHD and 69 control subjects.Results The frequencies of apolipoprotein E4 allele and E3/4 genotype were obviously increased in CHD group than in control group (P<0.01,P<0.05). Conclusion The apolipoprotein E polymorphism is related to the occurrence of coronary heart disease; apolipoprotein E4 allele is one of the most important hereditary factor for the occurrence of CHD.

Objective: To assess the effect of Linghuang powder ( LHP) in treating acute nonspecific lower urinary tract infection (ANLUTI) with l ower-Jiao damp-heat syndrome and evaluate its safety. Methods: A randomized cont rolled design was adopted. Four hundred and fourteen patients were allocated to LHP treatment group, control group and open treatment group. Results: The marked ly effective rate of short-term treatment with LHP was 71.78%, and the total effective rate was 92.02%, the total rates of im proving urine routine and urine bacterium were 95.21% and 79.37% respectively in LHP treatment group. Conclusion:The effect of LHP for ANLUTI with lower-jiao damp-heat syndrome is better than that in the control group (P<0.01).

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common form of secondary endocrine hypertension,which is characterized by hypertension,hypokelamia,myathenia,elevated serum aldosterone concentration and suppressed plasma renin activity.Besides,accumulating research evidences showed that parathyroid hormone (PTH) level was elevated in patients with primary aldosteronism,accompanied by secondary hyperparathyroidism.This review systemically introduces the interaction between aldosterone and PTH in PA patients.

Objective] To analyse the course of treatment based on differentiation of signs of Hashimoto thyroiditis combined with many diseases, offering treating thought and medication experiences. [Method] Trace back and state the relative documents about the general conditions, diagnosis and therapy, symptoms-pointed treatment of 1 case of Hashimoto thyroiditis combined with many diseases, introducing Pro. Wumin's clinical experience in treating the patient. [Result] The patient was early or late diagnosed as fatness, hyperlipemia, hyperinsulinemia, sub-clinical Hypothyrea, thyroid nodule and type-2 diabetes, Pro. Wumin combined TCM with WM, the patient was control ed the diseases and kept stable. [Conclusion] Combination of TCM and WM treating Hashimoto thyroiditis accompanied with diseases above has good cure effect, the patient is satisfied with the improvement and result.

Autoimmune disease is an own organization inflammatory lesions,mainly caused by destroying the adaptive immune tolerance mechanism of differentiatingself andnon-self,whose character is appearing the autoantibodies and self-reactive T cells in the body.Autoinflammatory disease is a group of genetic,recurrent and noninvasive inflammatory disease,whose characteristics are fever,rash,joint pain,arthritis,ophthalmic pathological changes and increasing of acute phase proteins,and it can affect many organ systems.These diseases are different in the mode of onset and clinical manifestations,but also can have similar and overlapped symptoms and signs,and often confused with other systemic diseases.Therefore,clinical misdiagnoses or missed diagnoses easily occur.To understand correctly and master the laboratory examination characteristics and its clinical is essential,which has significant value in the clinical diagnosis,differential diagnosis,evaluation and treatment of these diseases.

In recent years,with increasing investment on laboratory medicine scientific research in China,the project management,implementation,evaluation system and quality improvement become more and more important for research managers and executives.In this paper,the main problems of project execution and implementation and accordingly proposed some constructive suggestions were analysed,in the aspects of the leading role of principal investigator,periodical discussion,peer guidance,scientific progress management,effective using of project funds and the establishment of appropriate reward and punishment mechanisms.It is hoped that these suggestions can be used to achieve success in laboratory medicine research project.
