Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum ferritin (SF) in child with Still's disease (SD).Methods This study included 28 children with SD who were treated at the Pediatric Department in the First Hospital of China Medical University from 2001 to 2007.Their clinical features,biochemical parameters,and the results of serum ferritin were noted.Results In SD group,there were 28 cases with fever (100%),14 cases with rash (50%),18 cases with arthritis/arthralgia(64%),24 cases with leukocytosis (86%),27 cases with SF and ESR elevation (96%).The average SF in SD group [(8182±3156)μg/L] was significantly higher than that in the control group [(244±210)μg/L](P<0.01).Conclusion Fever,rash,arthritis/arthralgia,and leukocytosis are main clinical characteristics of child SD.Inereasing serum level of ferritin will probably indicate the activity period of SD.

Objective To explore the changes of renal histology of neonatal rats with prolonged hyperoxic lung injury.Methods One-day-old rats were continuously exposed to oxygen ( 80％ ± 5％,n =60 ) or room air( 21％,n =60) after birth.HE stained renal samples were scored to evaluate the changes of histology on day 1,3,7,14,21 in the hyperoxia and control group.Results Compared with control group,hyperoxic group showed mild renal damage.Renal tubular hydropic degeneration,edema,dilation could be seen on day3,7.Renal tubular interstitial vessel dilation,congestion,and rare tubular hemorrhage,necrosis,regeneration could be seen on 14,21days.Fibrosis was not founded.There was no significant difference of histologic scores within 3 days (P ＞0.05 ),but after 7 days the difference of two groups were singnificant between the control and hyperoxia groups(P ＜0.05).Conclusions Hyperoxia exposure can lead to mild renal histology damage in neonatal rats with hyperoxic lung injury.

Objective To study changes in renal histology of neonatal rats with prolonged hyperoxic lung injury and monitored the expression of IFN-γ in kidney.Methods Full-time newborn rats were continuously exposed to oxygen(80％ ±5％ 02,n =100) or room air(21％ O2,n =100) after birth.Dynamic changes of renal histology and the expression of interferon (IFN)-γin kidney by immunohistochemical method were monitored on day 1,3,7,14,21 in the hyperoxia and control group.Results Normobaric hyperoxia indnced mild renal damage including renal tubular hydropic degeneration,edema,dilation,tubular interstitial vessel dilation,congestion,and rare tubular hemorrhage,necrosis,regeneration.Fibrosis were not seen.On day 3,7,14,the intensity of IFN-γexpression increased compared with the control group (P ＜ 0.05) and significantly increased on day 7 (P ＜ 0.01).IFN-γwere mainly expressed in tubular epithelia cells.On day 21,the intensity of IFN-γ expression decreased,and there was little difference compared with the control group.Condusions Renal damage can be induced by prolonged hyperoxia exposure.The intensity of IFN-γexpression increased in kidney,which contributed to the damage of kidney.

The incidence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing around the world and tends to decrease in East Asia and several regions in China;however, China still has higher incidence rate and mortality rate of HCC than most countries.Studies have shown that long-term antiviral therapy can inhibit HBV replication to a very low level or help patients with HCV infection achieve sustained virologic response, which can further reduce the incidence rate of virus-related HCC.New evidence suggests that compared with nucleos(t)ide analogues, PEG-IFNα has a better effect of secondary prevention.Studies also indicate that interferons play an important role in tertiary prevention of virus-related HCC.This article reviews the epidemiological studies on virus-related HCC in recent years and the role of antiviral therapy in second and tertiary prevention and points out that adequate and effective antiviral therapy is the basis for preventing the development and recurrence of HCC.
