2.Research progress of Kawasaki disease and arthritis in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(8):611-613
Kawasakd disease(KD) or incomplete KD(IKD) is a systemic vasculitis predominantly affecting young children.Clinical manifestations include fever with no obvious origin,skin damage,abnormalities of mucous membrane and lymph nodes.The disease is often accompanied by serious cardiovascular complications such as coronary artery aneurysm,therefore it attracts more and more attention.But arthritis or arthralgia complicates over one-third of KD or IKD patients.So early-onset arthritis is often indistinguishable from early juvenile idiopathic arthritis,especially systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis(SoJIA).KD and SoJIA are considered to be different diagnoses for children with long-term fever,rash,swollen lymph nodes,and more importantly,the treatment procedures are very different,but it is difficult to completely distinguish the two diseases,especially the IKD and early SoJIA.So in this paper,we will summarize the relationship between KD and arthritis in children,which aims to remind clinicians to pay attention for the diagnosis of KD and IKD.We suggest that physicians should be alert of the fact that they must individualize every patient's management,rather than merely care by the guidelines,which will delay the treatment.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(37):5923-5928
BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells from transgenic animals carry green fluorescent protein that can be stably expressed in viable cells and can be used to rapidly screen modified cells in comparison with traditional virus and plasmids. OBJECTIVE:To study the biological features of bone marrow derived stromal cells from transgenic rats with green fluorescent protein gene. METHODS:Bone marrows were isolated from the bilateral long bones of 2-week-old transgenic rats with green fluorescent protein gene, and cultivated in conditioned culture medium to obtain bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with green fluorescent protein gene. The passage 5 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with green fluorescent protein gene were analyzed by flow cytometry to detect cellsurface molecules, and were induced in calcium or adipogenic induction medium. After calcium induction, the alizarin red staining was performed to test the formation of calcium concentration. After adipogenic induction, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were detected with oil red O staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, stably expressing green fluorescent protein gene, were obtained successful y from the transgenic rat with green fluorescent protein gene. The cells expressed CD90, CD105 strongly, but did not express or weakly expressed CD14 andCD45. After 3 weeks of calcium induction, jacinth calcium salts could be detected in the cells by alizarin red staining. At 3 weeks of adipogenic induction, the cells showed positive oil red O staining. The green fluorescent protein gene, as report gene, exerts no effect on the cellsurface molecules and multilineage potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, which can be used as an efficient tracer.
