Objectives To explore the clinical features and pathological types of childhood Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura ne-phritis (HSPN)with proteinuria. Methods Clinical and pathological data of 180 children with HSPN presenting with proteinuria were retrospectively analyzed in groups according to 24-hour urinary protein levels. Results The moderate proteinuria (57 cases, 31.7%) was the most common clinical type, followed by high-grade proteinuria (51 cases, 28.3%), mild proteinuria (46 cases, 25.6%) and microalbuminuria (26 cases, 14.4%). According to the International Study of Kidney Disease of Children , the major pathological type of HSPN are grade II (92 cases, 51.1%) and grade III (73 cases, 40.6%). The main pathological changes of moderate proteinuria were grade II (31 cases, 54.4%), and the main pathological changes of high-grade proteinuria were grade III (33 case, 64.7%). The pathological grade was progressively increased along with severity of proteinuria. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=39.54, P=0.002). The main immunopathological type was IgA+IgM (84 cases, 46.7%), followed by IgA+IgM+IgG (55 cases, 30.6%). No correlation was found among immunopathological typing, pathological typing and clinical typing (P>0.05). Conclusions The HSPN children with massive proteinuria show more severe pathological changes, but the se-verity of clinical symptoms is not completely consistent with the pathological damages.

Objective Through investigating the clinical and laboratory characteristics of Kawasaki disease (KD) in infants younger than 12 months in order to improve the accuracy of early diagnosis of KD and decrease the risk of coronary artery lesion (CAL).Methods Clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of total 106 patients younger than 12 months with KD hospitalized in Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital from Jan.2006 to Jan.2014 were reviewed.Results (1) Among 106 cases,72 cases were male and 34 cases were female,the ratio of male to female was 2.1:1.0.The age varied from 2 months to 12 months,and the average age was (8.4 ± 2.7) months.Twenty-eight cases were younger than 6 months,78 cases were within 6 months to 12 months.(2)KD scattered the whole year and occurred more frequently in spring and summer.The average duration of fever before final diagnosis was (8.0 ±3.5) days.The major clinical manifestation were erythema and cracking of lips (77.4％,82/106 cases),rash (73.6％,78/106 cases),eye conjunctival hyperemia (70.8％,75/106 cases),changes in extremities (59.4％,63/ 106 cases),strawberry tongue (48.1％,51/106 cases),cervical lymphadenopathy (40.6％,43/106 cases),respectively.Among 106 cases,33 cases (31.1％) were diagnosed as incomplete KD (IKD),86 cases (78.9％) accompanied with one or more than one systematic or organic lesion,33 cases (31.1％) were misdiagnosed before the final diagnosis of KD,32 cases (30.2％) accompanied with CAL.Ninety-five point nine percent(94/98 cases) were sensitive to the first dose of intravenous immunogloblin (IVIG) therapy.(3)Compared with the infants of KD older than 6 months,the infants younger than 6 months had longer fever duration before the final diagnosis,higher prevalence of IKD,higher incidence of gastrointestinal involvement and anemia,higher white blood count,lower haemoglobin and albumin values,higher incidence of CAL and coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) (all P ＜ 0.05).IVIG treatment response for both groups was sensitive (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions (1) Infants KD,especially younger than 6 months old had higher rate of IKD,often accompanied with other organic lesion,and were easily to be misdiagnosed and missed diagnosis.Most infants KD were sensitive to the first dose of IVIG therapy.(2) Infants of KD younger than 6 months old were more prone to suffer from CAL and CAA.(3) To avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of infants KD,cardiac ultrasonography is important for those who have unexplained fever over 5 days and were not sensitive to the treatment,especially the male.

Objective To evaluate the influence of atopy on exhaled nitric oxide in chronic persistent asthmatic children. Methods A total of 52 chronic persistent asthmatic children who completed FeNO measurements and skin prick testing were enrolled. Patients were divided into non-atopic group and atopic group by skin prick testing results, and subdivided into non-allergic rhinitis and rhinitis group according to whether combined with allergic rhinitis. At the same time 78 healthy children were chosen as control group. Moreover, 32 chronic persistent asthmatic children who completed FeNO measurements twice interval of three months were enrolled. Results The FeNO level was signiifcantly different among the atopic group (n=40), the non-atopic group (n=12) and the control group (H=33.29, P=0.000);The FeNO level was signiifcantly higher in the atopic group than that in the non-atopic group (P<0.05). And the FeNO level were signiifcantly different among the rhinitis group (n=41), the non-rhinitis group (n=11) and the control group (H=30.63, P=0.000). The FeNO level was signiifcantly higher in the rhinitis group than that in the control group (P<0.05), however there were no difference between the rhinitis group and the non-rhinitis group(P>0.05).There were no correlations between FeNO levels of chronic persistent asthmatic children and the wheal diameter of house dust mites or dust mites (r=2.05, P=0.135;r=1.58, P=0.312). Moreover, the FeNO level was signiifcantly lower after 3 months ICS treatment (z=-2.05, P=0.041). Conclusions Atopy had major inlfuence on the FeNO level of chronic persistent asthmatic children, and the FeNO level declined with the theatment of ICS.

The quality control and evaluation methods of Schizonepeta tenuifolia were established by HPLC fingerprint, multi index component content determination and chemical pattern recognition to provide basis for the quality control of medicinal materials. The chemical components of 25 batches of Schizonepeta tenuifolia panicle medicinal materials and decoction pieces collected were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, and the common pattern of fingerprint was established. A total of 22 common chromatographic peaks were calibrated, and their similarity was more than 0.9. The samples were divided into three categories according to different producing areas by cluster analysis. The results of principal component analysis and cluster analysis were consistent. Finally, five differential markers of different batches of Schizonepeta tenuifolia were selected by orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis. Through the identification of the reference substance, it was determined that peak 9 was hesperidin, peak 10 was rosmarinic acid, peak 13 was tilianin, peak 14 was quercetin, and peak 20 was pulegone. The quality evaluation method established in this study is stable and reliable, and is suitable for the quality control of Schizonepeta tenuifolia.

Purpose To investigate the location and distribution of EV71 receptors scavenger receptor class B member 2 ( SCARB2 ) and human P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) in lung tissues of fatal hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), healthy children and adults. Methods The expression of EV71 receptors SCARB2 and PSGL-1 was detected by using immunohistochemistry in lung tissues of 15 autopsies of HFMD, 3 of healthy children, 8 of healthy adults. Results SCARB2 distributed in bronchial, bronchioli ep-ithelia, alveolar epithelial cells and inflammatory cells among HFMD, healthy children and adults. No significant difference was noted of the positive rates of SCARB2 expression among these three groups (P>0. 05). PSGL-1 distributed in bronchial and bronchioli epi-thelium of adults, but no PSGL-1 expression was found in HFMD and healthy children. The positive rates of PSGL-1 were 100%, 0, 0 in bronchial and bronchioli epithelium among the three groups, respectively (P<0. 05). The positive rates of PSGL-1 were 100%, 66. 7%, 100% in inflammatory cells among HFMD, healthy children and adults, respectively. No significant difference was noted of PSGL-1 expression among the three groups (P>0. 05). Further, no PSGL-1 expression was observed in alveolar epithelia cells of all groups tested. Conclusions EV71 receptor SCARB2 distributes in bronchial, bronchioli, alveolar epithelial and inflammatory cells of HFMD. Meanwhile, PSGL-1 only distributes in inflammatory cells of HFMD, suggesting that SCARB2 possibly plays a role on HFMD infection.
