Adhesion molecules (AM) are a class of molecules that can mediate cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interaction. They participate in the cellular recognition, signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation, cell stretching and movement through ligand-to-receptor interaction. AM are the molecular basis of immune response, inflammation, blood coagulation, tumor metastasis, wound healing and a series of physiological and pathological processes. Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic small vasculitis syndrome, mainly affecting coronary artery. KD is the main cause for acquired heart disease in children. To study the relationship between AM and pathogenesis of KD is important in the understanding of KD pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of coronary artery lesions complicated with KD. This review focused on the relationship between AM and pathogenesis of KD.

Objective To observe the effect of vibration therapy of Mongolian medicine on headache and vertigo in concussion patients.Method A hundred eligible subjects with concussion were randomized into a treatment group of 50 cases and a control group of 50 cases. The treatment group was intervened by brain vibration therapy of Mongolian medicine, while the control group was treated with Piracetam tablets. The scores of headache and vertigo in the two groups were observed before the treatment and respectively after 3-day, 6-day, and 9-day treatment. Result After 3-day, 6-day, and 9-day treatment, respectively, the scores of headache and vertigo were significantly different from those before the treatment in both groups (P<0.05). The scores of headache and vertigo respectively after 3-day, 6-day and 9-day treatment in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The brain vibration therapy of Mongolian medicine is effective in treating headache and vertigo in concussion.
