There is no specific diagnostic tools or marker for detection of asthma in children.However,A large number of studies have shown that atopic disease and positive family history are the important risk factors.It is helpful for the asthma early diagnosis,proper management and prevention through the analysis of the relationship between childhood asthma and atopic disease as well as positive family history.

Acute Pancreatitis Classification Working Group published Classification of Acute Pancreatitis-2012:Revision of the Atlanta Classification and Definitions by International Consensus in 2012,which redefined the diagnosis,severity,local complication,local infection of acute pancreatitis (AP).Under the guidance of revised Atlanta classification (RAC),the constituent ratio of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) decreases significantly,which is between 3.7％ ～ 25.4％,and less than 10.0％ is reported in most researches.The mortality of SAP is between 10.0％ ～ 52.9％,and more than 20％ is observed in most publications.The constituent ratio of mild severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) is between 10.9％ ～ 40.1％,the mortality is between 0 ～ 4.8％,and the incidence rate of organ failure is between 4.6％ ～ 34.0％.The percentage of patients with SAP who need ICU care and surgery intervention is higher than that of MSAP,and the total hospital stay of SAP are longer than that of MSAP.RAC could better reflect the severity and predict the outcome of AP than Atlanta classification published in 1992,but RAC also has some potential limitations.For example,the “local infection” is not included in this classification.This paper veviewed the relavent issues.

Several minimally invasive techniques were used to treat infection secondary to pancreatic and (or peri-pancreatic) necrosis recent years,including percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD),endoscopic transluminal treatment,min-incision surgery,video-assisted minimally invasive technique and laparoscopic surgery.We should grasp the indication of each technique.PCD/ endoscopic transluminal surgery usually acted as initial therapy.Open surgery is still effective,and acts as a rescue operation when minimally invasive techniques fail.

Biobank is a biorepository which organized for collecting and storing human biospecimen as well as associated information for research uses.Biobank is the fundamental platform which translates the basic research result into clinical practice.It also plays an important role in disease diagnosis,new drug development,disease-related genetic research and epidemiological studies.The rise of translational medicine promotes the construction and development of the biobank.This review highlights the necessity to establish biobank,and focuses on the recent advances of the modem type of biobank,quality control of biospecimens,construction of biobank,best practices and guideline applied for biobank.This review also provides information for improvement of biobank.

Heme oxygenase- 1 ( HO- 1 ) can catalyze the decomposition of heme and the products of its enzymatic activity,including carbon monoxide, biliverdin, bilintbin and ferritin, can play a significant cytoprotective role in antagonizing inflammation, protecting cells from oxidative injury and cellular stresses. The method of gene transfer can maintain target gene expression for a long time,can regulate the inflammatory immune response. HO- 1 gene transfer has made marked results in research of numerous diseases. In this article,we give a review of feasibility of HO-1 gene transfer therapy in acute pancreatitis.

Objectives:To investigate the effects of amylin on bone minernal density and structure parameters of bone tissue in glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis rats. Methods:Four groups of female Wistar rats (3 months old) were treated for 12 weeks as follows: ⅠNormal Control, ⅡDXM, Ⅲ DXM+AMY;Ⅳ DXM+Vitamin Da 3. By intramuscular injection of dexamethasone(XM)1mg/kg twice a week during the first 8 weeks, the animal model of Glucocorticoid induced osteopoprosis was established. After 12 weeks, BMD of the lumbar vertebrae and the femural bone were measured by DEXA. The bone morphology of the lumbar vertebrae was also determined. Results:①After the treatment with AMY, bone mineral density (BMD) was significantly increased at the lumbar spine and the femural bone. ( vs. DXM group, P

Objective To explore the relation between endothelial function and Alzheimer′s disease(AD).Methods The concentration of asymmetric dimethylarginine(ADMA)and L-arginine were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),the concentration of nitric oxide(NO) detected by the method of nitrate reductase,and the activity of nitric oxide synthase(NOS)examined using NOS assay kits,in the plasma of 45 mild/moderate AD patients and 48 controls.Results Compared with controls,the concentration of ADMA(0.95?0.09?mol/L,P=0.00)was significantly increased,however the activity of NOS((13.9?3.9)U/L,P=0.00),inducible NOS(iNOS)((5.1?1.8)U/L,P= 0.00)and concentration of NO((41.7?5.0)?mol/L,P=0.00)were significantly decreased.In addition,Logistic regression analysis found significant positive correlations between the plasma concentration of NO and the score of the CDR(y=36.64?0.398_x;r=0.398,P
