Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;30(1):10-13
The common rheumatic diseases in children including rheumatic fever,juvenile idiopathic arthritis,systemic lupus erythematosus (including neonatal lupus),juvenile dermatomyositis,Kawasaki disease,anaphylactoid purpura.Rheumatic diseases as a group of unknown etiology autoimmune diseases,connective tissue and collagen fibers of different organs can be affected.Systemic inflammatory is the common prominent characteristics of this kind of disease,often resulting in multiple organ damage.Over recent decades,there has been considerable interest in the long-term outcomes of individuals with chronical inflammatory disease and an area of particular concern has been the increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease.Since sustained systemic inflammation is known to accelerate atherosclerosis,doctor should pay attention to rheumatic diseases associated cardiovascular involvements during daily clinical work.The cardiovascular involvement of common rheumatic diseases in children is summarized in this paper.
2.Study progress of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in the diagnosis of children with syncope
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;(1):13-16
Eighty percent of unexplained syncope in children is neurally mediated syncope (NMS).The cur-rent clinical diagnosis of children NMS mainly depends on the head -up tilt test(HUTT),which has a certain risk, therefore searching for a safe noninvasive NMS diagnosis method is of great significance.Twenty -four -hour ambulato-ry blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)is widely used in clinic recently.It was reported that there was autonomic nerve adjustment imbalance in children with NMS.And the diagnostic value of ambulatory blood pressure pattern to NMS chil-dren was high.Non -spoontype blood pressure variation pattern of NMS could aid to diagnose children NMS.Fur-therly study of 24 h ABPMof NMS children has great significance to explore the pathogenesis of the NMS,to be benefi-cial to explain the regulating mechanism of the vessels,and go a step further to guide the treatment.

Objective To investigate the polymorphism of DXS6854 locus in Guangdong Han population. Methods The DXS6854 locus was analyzed by PCR following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. Results Among 189 females and 230 males from Guangdong Han population, 8 alleles were observed with frequencies ranging from 0.0026 to 0.4522. Exact tests demonstrated genotype frequencies in females had no departure from Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium. The discrimination powers for female and male original samples were 0.8633 and 0.7012, respectively. When both mother and her daughter were tested, the probability of excluding a random man as a father was 0.6712. Conclusion The DXS6854 locus is appropriate for individual identification and paternity testing involving a female child.

Objective To investigate the clinical and imageological features of pituitrin-induced delayed encephalopathy. Methods Clinical data of 8 patients with delayed encephalopathy caused by pituitrin were analyzed retrospectively. Results All of the 8 patients presented diffent degree neuropsychic symptoms at 4~12 d after stop using the pituitrin. The extrapyramidal and psychiatric symptoms of the cases were found,such as hypermyotonia(8 cases),hypokinesia(6 cases),extremity buffeting(3 cases),emotional and behavior disorder(6 cases). The 8 cases with EEG examination showed:there were gently to midrange widespread dysfunction in 4 cases,severe widespread dysfunction in 1 case. The levels of serum Na+ in 5 cases were decrease slightly. The 8 cases with brain MRI examination showed that the abnormal signals were mainly located in lentiform nucleus and head of caudate nucleus with long T1 and T2-weighted images,and including thalamus or midbrain abnormalities signal in 1 case,respectively. Conclusions The manifestations of pituitrin-induced delayed encephalopathy are extrapyramidal symptoms and cerebral disorders. The characteristics of brain MRI are abnormal signals in lentiform nucleus and head of caudate nucleus with long T1 and T2-weighted images. The supposed pathogenesis may be nerve necrosis induced by Charcot's artery spasm and hyponatremia.
