Objective To explore the clinical significance of experimental index in incomplete Kawasaki disease (iKD).Methods Eighty-eight cases of KD were reviewed,including iKD 36 cases (iKD group),complete KD(cKD) 52 cases (cKD group).The 88 cases were divided into traditional criterion group (43 cases) and supplement criterion group (45 cases).The experimental indexes of supplement criterion were compared between iKD group and cKD group.Results The rate of coronary artery lesion (CAL) in iKD group was significantly higher than that in cKD group [50.00%(18/36) vs.26.92%(14/52),P < 0.05].Plasma NT-proBNP and cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) in CAL children (32 cases) in early were significantly higher than those in non CAL children (56 cases) [(468 ± 141) ng/L vs.(379 ± 120) ng/L and (0.95 ±0.22) μg/L vs.(0.49 ±0.15) μg/L,P <0.01].The diagnosis rates of KD in the 5th,7th,9th day in supplement criterion group were significantly higher than those in traditional criterion group [64.44%(29/45)vs.25.58%(11/43),84.44% (38/45) vs.46.51% (20/43),93.33%(42/45) vs.58.14% (25/43),P < 0.01].There was no statistical significance between iKD group and cKD group in C reactive protein,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,albumin,alanine aminotransferase,platelet,white blood cell,NT-proBNP and cTnI etc (P > 0.05).There was no statistical significance between iKD group and cKD group in the positive rate of each experimental index (P > 0.05).Conclusions There are some changes of supplement experimental index in acute phase of KD,but there is no statistical significance between iKD and cKD.Plasma NT-proBNP and cTnI are significantly higher in early KD.

Receptor-like kinase involves self-incompatibility, male sterility, stress responses, and disease resistance. To better understand the physiological function and biological characteristics of rice receptor-like kinase, we cloned five predicted epitope fragments of rice receptor-like kinase. The purified fusion protein was used as antigen to immunize rabbit to get specific polyclonal antibodies. Western blotting analysis shows that the five receptor-like kinases were expressed in rice leaves.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy at 1-year follow-up of the use of drug-coated balloon (DCB) for the treatment of femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis (ISR).Methods:This study enrolled 252 patients undergoing Orchid DCB angioplasty for peripheral arterial disease in the femoral-popliteal segment. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Forty-nine patients were eligible, including 29 (59.2%) chronic total occlusions belonging to TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus-Ⅱ(TASC Ⅱ) D, 7 (14.3%) thrombosis, and 14 (28.6%) moderate to severe calcifications. The mean lesion length was (215.9±97.1) mm. 69.4% were of occlusive lesions (Tosaka Ⅲ category). Only 1 provisional stent was implanted. 98% patients had severe claudication or even worse. Of these cases, 34 (73.9%) showed improvements in Rutherford category, while 11 (23.9%) did not change and 1 (2.2%) case deteriorated. The average value of ABI was 0.478±0.264 before surgery and 0.907±0.207 at the end of follow-up. The improvement in Rutherford category ( P<0.01) and ABI ( P<0.005) were both significant. The primary patency (PP) was 80.4%, and the freedom from clinically driven TLR was 84.8% at 1 year. During the follow-up period, there was no all-cause death and major limb amputation. Conclusion:This multicenter study demonstrated the effectiveness of DCB as a treatment for complicated and extensive ISR lesions within 12 months.

Objective: To study rhizosphere soil fungal community composition and diversity of Salvia miltiorrhiza,in order to explain the changes of the rhizosphere microenvironment of S.miltiorrhiza,and provide theoretical basis for revealing the reasons for the formation of continuous obstacles.Method: Based on the high-throughput sequencing technology,three kinds of soil samples were collected,namely soil of non-plant (CK),soil for cultivating for one year (Y1) and soil for cultivating for two years (Y2),respectively.According to the sequencing of the internal transcribed space of nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS) region of fungal rRNA gene,14 153,19 024 and 7 622 valid sequences were obtained and annotated as 1 027,1 095 and 712 varieties of OTUs.The diversity of fungal communities showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing.Agaricomycetes,Leotiomycetes and Tremellomycetes were the dominant bacterial communities at the class level,their orders in three treatments were Y1 > CK > Y2,Y2 > Y1 > CK,CK > Y2 > Y1.At the genus level,Guehomyces was dominant species in CK,and both Y1 and Y2 had a decrease of 96.13% and 90.21%,respectively.Wickerhamomyces had a significantly increase in Y2(6.64%),250.59% and 564.00% compared with CK and Y1,respectively.Result: The results of cluster analysis showed that CK and Y1 had a higher similarity at the genus level in soil fungal community composition compared with Y2.Conclusion: Cryptosporiopsis and other pathogenic fungal communities were dominant genuses according to the heatmap analysis in Y2,suggesting a correlation with the incidence of S.miltiorrhiza.The findings provide theoretical basis for the formation of continuous cropping obstacle.
