1.The long-term prognosis and follow-up of Kawasaki disease with coronary artery lesions
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(3):294-297
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited vasculitis of children and the principal cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. The recent follow-up studies of KD revealed that cardiac sequelae had been observed for many years in a minority of patients with KD. Cardiac sequelae especially the coronary artery aneurysm is the leading cause of ischemic heart disease or even the sudden death.The long-term management of KD was developed in many countries in order to prevent the cardiac events.This paper reviews the long-term prognosis and follow-up of KD.

Objective To investigate the adhesion mechanism of Lactobacillus acidophilus FN001外to Peyer's patches. Methods Adhesion of L. acidophilus FN001 to mice Peyer's patches was studied in vitro using a fluorescent quantization method. The nature of adhesion mediator was studied by the effects of physical, chemical and enzymatic pre-treatments of the bacteria on their adhesion and effect of sugars on in- hibition of adhesion. The presence of lectin-like proteins in the cell surface was determined by hemagglutina- tion. Effect of L. acidophilus FN001 on inhibition of adhesion of pathogens to Peyer's patches was also stud- ied. Results The adhesion of L. acidophilus FN001 was strongly inhibited in the presence of D-mannose and methyl-ct-D-mannoside. Pretreatment of L. acidophilus FN001 with pepsin and trypsin decreased the ad- hesive capacity indicating that cell surface proteins are involved in adhesion to Peyer's patches. L. acidophi- lus FN001 could agglutinate rabbit red cell in mannose specific manner and protease pretreatment could de-crease hemagglutinin, suggesting that L. acidophilus FN001 has mannose specific lectin (s). In adherence inhibition assay, L. acidophilus NF001 could significantly inhibit adhesion of E. coli ATCC25922 to Peyer's patches when L. acidophilus NF001 were applied to Peyer's patches first or at the same time with pathogen. Conclusion It was concluded that a mannose-specific protein mediated adhesion of L. acidophilus FN001 to the Peyer's patches, and L. acidophilus FN001 could inhibit adhesion of pathogen with similar lectins speci- ficity to Peyer's patches.

ObjectiveTo assess the differential diagnostic value of serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP)in distinguishing intestinal ischemia patients from acute abdomen patients.MethodsA total of 151 patients with acute abdomen and 17 healthy controls from the PLA General Hospital were enrolled from November,2009 to August,2011. Serum I-FABP levels were measured by ELISA.According to the ROC curve,the cut-off value,sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio (PLR),negative likelihood ratio ( NLR),positive predietive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated. ResultsOf the 151 acute abdomen patients,there were 24 intestinal ischemia patients and 127 without intestinal ischemia.Serum I-FABP level in intestinal ischemia group [( 109.67 ±48.82) μg/L]was significantly higher than those in patients without intestinal ischemia [(36.78 ± 11.25) μg/L]and healthy controls[(8.33 ±6.25) μg/L]( all P values <0.01 ).The serum I-FABP cut-off value for the diagnosis of intestinal ischemia was 87.52 μg/L.Serum I-FABP was efficient in terms of sensitivity (0.762),NPV(0.963),PLR(3.05) and NLR (0.24) in the diagnosis of intestinal ischemia.ConclusionI-FABP is potentially useful for discriminating intestinal ischemia from acute abdomen.

Objective To explore the feasibility and secure cold storage time of human arteries during sequentially cold-cryopreservation by observing the cellular metabolic activity and structure after cold storage and cryopreservation. Methods Human iliac and splenic arteries were stored for 72 h, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and 4 weeks in UW solution at 4 ℃. After the cold storage procedure, half of the vascular allografts were examined by NBT dye method, electron and light microscope. The other vascular allografts continued to be stored by - 80 ℃ cryopreservation procedure for 4 weeks, and then the vascular allografts were examined by NBT dye method, electron and light microscope. Results There was no statistically significant difference in NBT dyeing time between the groups stored in UW solution within 2 weeks and fresh group at 4 ℃ (P > 0. 05). After - 80 ℃ cryopreservation, there was also no statistically significant difference in NBT dyeing time between the groups stored by UW solution within 1 week and fresh group at 4 ℃ (P>0. 05). Along with the extension of cold storage time, the destruction of ultrastructure was aggravated. When vascular allograft was stored over 2 weeks at 4 ℃, the destruction was more obvious. As the cold storage time prolonged, the ultrastructural destruction of vascular allografts was aggravated, especially those stored over 1 week. Conclusion The optimal time limit for arteries stored at 4 ℃ in UW solution was 2 weeks. Cryopreservation at - 80 ℃ kept the arteries satisfactory metabolic activity and organizational structure. The arteries stored within 1 week at 4 ℃ in UW solution, which restored at - 80 ℃ , could maintain satisfactory metabolic activity and organizational structure.
