Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the most common causes of acquired heart disase in children,the development of which is closely related to the allergic diseases.Recent studies have manifested that the incidence of allergic diseases in children with KD is far higher than that in those children without KD.Meanwhile,the morbidity of KD in allergic children is significantly higher than that in those who do not have family medical history of allergic diseases.By far,the mechanisms causing interaction between KD and allergic diseases still remain unclear.Possible mechanisms include IgE-meditated immune response,release of large quantity of cytokines and inflammatory meditators as well as atopic family history.

Kawasaki disease(KD) is the most common reason for acquired heart disease in children,which is closely related to autoimmune response and the release of cytokines in vascular endothelial cells.Steroids are strongly effective in countering inflammation as well as immune response.In the time of being,it has become a hot spot that steroids play an important role in the initial treatment for acute KD and for incomplete and refractory KD.

Objective:To investigate the epidemic features of allergic rhinitis(AR)and correlative risk factors in Shihezi city,Xinjiang province,China. Method:A question-naire survey on AR and airway diseases was conducted among 2300 elementry school children in 12 schools,aged from 9 to 10 years old,from july 10 to 25,2008. in Shihezi city,Xinjiang province.Suspects of AR was identified by the survey,then they were recommended to specialist examinations for accurate diagnosis. Allergen skin tests were peformed to explore the allergenic varieties of allergic rhinitis. Diagnosis criteria of AR were that of ARIA(Allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma). Resuit:Two thousand two hundred and eleven questionnaires were returned. The response rate was 96.1% and 2205 questionnaires were available.The prevalence rate of AR in children aged from 9 to 10 was 12.56%(277/2205) in Shihezi city.The difference of prevalence between female 13.76%(153/1112) and male 11.34%(124/1093) was insignificant statistically(χ~2=2.924,P＞0.05). The positive rate of the allergen skin test was 65.3%. The most common allergen of allergic rhinitis were plants of the mugwort and house dust mite. According to the ciassification criteria of ARIA in 2001,of 155 children suffered from intermittent AR,112 cases were mild and 43 cases were moderate-severe,while 122 suffered from persistent AR,110 cases were mild and 12 cases were moderatesevere. 5.4%(15/277) patients with AR also had bronchial asthma.25.3%(70/277) of the children with AR had inherent predisposition.Conclusion:The prevalence rate of AR in children aged from 9 to 10 in Shihezi city is 12.56%. Strategy of prevention and treatment of AR can be worked out according to the epidemical feature of AR.

Belief in and rejection of a relationship of occlusion and temporomandibular joint (TMJ)condyle-fossa position with normal and abnormal function are still contentious issues.Clinical opinions can be strong,but support in most published data (mostly univariate)is problematic.Distribution overlap,low sensitivity and specificity are a common basis to reject any useful prediction value.Notwithstanding,a relationship of form with function is a basic tenet of biology.These are multifactor problems,but the questions mostly have not been analysed as such.This review moves the question forward by focusing on TMjoint anatomic organisation as the multifactor system it is expected to be in a closed system like a synovial joint.Multifactor analysis allows the data to speak for itself and reduces bias.Classification tree analysis revealed useful prediction values and usable clinical models which are illustrated,backed up by stepwise logistic regression.Explained vari-ance,R2 ,predicting normals from pooled TMJ patients was 32.6%,sensitivity 67.9%,specificity 85.7%;37% versus disc displacement with reduction;and 28.8% versus disc displacement without reduction.Significant osseous organisational differences between TMjoints with clicking and locking suggest that this is not necessarily a single disease continuum.However,a subset of joints with clicking contained char-acteristics of joints with locking that might contribute to symptom progression versus resistance.Moderately strong models confirm there is a relationship between TMJ osseous organisation and function,but it should not be overstated.More than one model of normals and of TMde-rangement organisation is revealed.The implications to clinical decision-making are discussed.

COX-2 is the inducible form of cyclooxygenase,which is overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer,especially in the adenocarcinoma,and is involved in the production of lung cancer drug resistance, reducing the sensitivities of tumor cells to chemotherapy drugs. COX-2 inhibitors have the effects of antitumor and prevention of tumor formation. Therefore,in order to reverse the drug resistance of tumor cells,improve the sur-vival rate and the prognosis of patients with tumor,the application of COX-2 inhibitors as adjuvant chemotherapy and combined with chemotherapy drugs has become a new direction in the treatment of lung cancer.

Currently our medical colleges have no uniform competency standards for teachers teaching,and the assessment of teaching ability is vaguely defined.Through the content and effect analysis of foreign teaching competency standards assessment,according to the particularity of medical colleges,and by carding several aspects of the teacher ability content system,the author of the article put forward recommendations of building our medical colleges teacher teaching competency standards and improve medical colleges teachers' teaching ability and level.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects and toxicities of bone marrow-sparing intensity-modulated radiation therapy (BMS-IMRT) for postoperative cervical cancer.Methods From January 2011 to June 2012,totally 70 postoperative patients with cervical cancer were divided into BMS-IMRT group with 34 cases and IMRT group with 36 cases randomly.External whole pelvic intensitymodulated irradiation combined with chemotherapy was carried out for all patients.The planning target volume received a dose of 45 Gy/25 fractions in all patients.Delineation of the pelvis and limitation dose were carried out in BMS-IMRT group:the pelvis V30 ≤ 50％.All cases received chemotherapy with cisplatin (40 mg/m2) once a week concurrently with radiotherapy.Results Treatment was completed in 67 patients,as the other 3 patients stopped chemotherapy because of myelosuppression.There was no statistically significant differences between two groups for the 2-year local control survival(LCS)and overall survival(OS),alimentary tract toxicity and urinary toxicity.IMRT group had more serious hematologic toxicity than BMS-IMRT group,with statistically significant difference (x2 =14.355,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The postoperative cervical cancer patients with poor prognostic factors who undergo concurrent chemoradiotherapy,IMRT group has more serious hematologic toxicity than BMS-IMRT group.The short-term effect and other toxicities reaction are similar between two groups.

Neurological complications of viral hepatitis mainly include hepatic encephalopathy,hepatic myelopathy,peripheral neuropathy,meningoencephalitis,and epilepsy.Hepatic encephalopathy is a common complication with mature diagnosis and treatment methods,and the other complications are relatively uncommon and lack treatment methods.This article introduces the classification,clinical manifestation,and treatment of each complication,in order to find the optimal therapies for neurological complications of viral hepatitis.

Uihgur medicine is not only an important component of medicine for ethnic minorities in China,but an vital supplement to modern medicine.With the development of modern science,in recent years good progerss has been made in basic sciences and applied research of Uighur medicine.According to the property of Uighur materia medica,medicine can be divided into hot,cold,wet,dry,dry-hot,wet-hot,wet-cold,and dry-cold types,and according to strength of medicinal properties,this medicine is divided into four classes.Most of the drugs of levels 3 and 4 are credited with toxicity.This article summarizes the property and toxicity of medicines of levels 3 and 4 which are includel in Pharmaceutical Standards-Uighur Medicine (1998) edited by the former State Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China.
