Objective To investigate the correlation between food intolerance and Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura (HSP) in children and the efficacy of food forbidden or alternative therapy. Methods The levels of IgG against several common food in serum obtained from 40 children with HSP were measured by ELISA. The efficacy of food forbidden or alternative food therapy was assessed after 3 months. Results Total positive rate of serum food-intolerant IgG antibodies in HSP children was 92.5%. Among these 14 intolerant foods, the positive percentage of egg was the highest (33.8%), followed by tomato (14.9%), milk (13.5%) and morrhua (12.2%). Significant differences of the sort and degree of food intolerance existed among different age groups (t=2.257, P=0.045), but not between boys and girls (t=1.053, P=0.315), city and countryside (t= 1.388, P=0.193). There was no linear correlation between total food intolerance and serum IgG level (t=0.793, P=0.445). Food intolerance had no direct relation to immune complex deposition in kidneys of HSP nephritis (r =-0.262, P =0.387). The efficacy of adjusting diet was 95% . Conclusions HSP is closely related to food intolerance. Egg is the most common intolerant food. Food forbidden or alternative therapy shows acceptable efficacy in the treatment of most Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura children.

Objective To establish the proper review rules for the microscopic screening of urine analyzed by UF-1000i automatic urinalysis work station (composed of UF-1000i urine flow cytometer and AX-4030 urine dry chemical analyzer).Methods A total of 2 839 random urine samples were collected at Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from September 2009 to February 2010, and were analyzed using UF-1000i urinalysis work station.The parameters obtained from UF-1000i and AX-4030 included RBC, WBC, CAST and ERY, LEU, PRO.After analysis by urinalysis work station, each urine sample was examined microscopically by two technologists using double-blind method.The average results got from the two technologists were regarded as the judging criterion.Based on the criterion, the review rules for the 2 839 urine samples tested by urinalysis work station were created and adjusted, and the true positive rate, false positive rate, true negative rate, false negative rate and review rate of these review rules were calculated.After that, 299 randomly selected urine samples were tested to validate these review rules.Omission diagnostic rate and review rate were used to assess the clinical practicability of the review rules.Results Thirty seven rules for microscopic review and twenty seven rules without further microscopic examination were set up based on six parameters using UriAccess 3.0 Software.The microscopic examination result was taken as the judging criterion, the consistency rate of these rules was 81.11%(2 311/2 839), the true positive rate was 40.51%(1 150/2 839), the false positive rate was 16.17%(459/2 839), the true negative rate was 41.00%(1 164/2 839), the false negative rate(omission diagnostic rate) was 2.43%(69/2 839) and the review rate was 18.28% (519/2 839).Additional 299 urine samples were assayed using UriAccess3.0 software to further verify these review rules.The consistency rate was 82.27%(246/299), the true positive rate was 36.12%(108/299), the false positive rate was 16.39%(49/299), the true negative rate was 46.15%(138/299), the false negative rate(omission diagnostic rate) was 1.34%(4/299), the review rate was 19.06%(57/299). The 4 false negative samples selected by these review rules did not come from the nephropathy department or the urology department.Microscopic results of RBC and WBC form these 4 samples ranged 3-8 cells/HP. Thus, these review rules could avoid the missed diagnosis of those patients with severe renal dysfunction.Conclusion The review rules established from this study for the UF-1000i urinalysis work station can effectively detect abnormal urine samples and improve the efficiency and the quality of urinalysis in routine clinical practice.
