At present,diagnostic programs of food allergy in children mainly include medical history,skin prick test,detection of serum specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) antibody,food challenge test,and so on.Among them,skin prick test and detection of sIgE antibody are used as primary screening tests with high diagnostic sensitivity while low specificity.Additionally,double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge test is the gold standard for the diagnosis,but it is faced with a potential risk of causing systemic allergic reactions,resulting in its rare application in clinic.Moreover,basophil activation test,as an in vitro test for allergen diagnosis,has significant value in diagnosis of food allergy in children due to its high specificity and safety.Besides,basophil activation test can also be used to evaluate the severity of food allergy in children,monitor immune therapy,detect trace allergens,and so on.

Objective To observe if subclinical lesion exists during and after tibia lengthening and investigate the repair mechanism of the nerve. MethodsTwenty-three cases(with 42 tibia) were lengthened by traction with the velocity of 1mm/d. The somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) induced by stimulation of tibial nerve were recorded before operation and 2,3 months and 2 years after operation. The tibia was lengthened for a total of 4~10cm. ResultsAll cases had no significant symptoms except for 1 case with mild symptoms of nerve lesion when his tibia was lengthened for 9.5cm. However, the subclinical lesion was found by SEP record in all the cases, and this lesion could be repaired mostly in 3 months and completely recovered in 2 years. ConclusionThe peripheral nerves have good adaptability to tibia lengthening with a velocity of 1mm/d and the tibia could be lengthened to a great extend as long as there were no clinical symptoms manifestated.

Purpose To investigate the expression of EZH2 mRNA and protein, and its relationship with tumor cell proliferation in human prostate carcinoma (PCa).Methods A tissue microarray was constructed, which contained 68 dots of formalin-fixed,paraffin-embedded tissue samples, including 48 cases of human PCa.Immunohistochemical markers, including EZH2 and Ki-67,were used on the tissue microarray sections by the immunohistochemical staining method.In situ hybridization (ISH) using an EZH2 oligonucleotide probe was also performed on the tissue microarray sections.Additional 15 cases of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and 12 cases of high grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) were used as controls.Results The positive rates of EZH2 protein and mRNA expression were 87.50% and 81.25% in the PCa, 16.67% and 16.67% in the HGPIN,13.33% and 6.67% in the BPH,respectively. There were statistical difference between PCa, HGPIN and BPH, respectively (P<0.05).The expression of EZH2 protein and mRNA had no statistical difference (P>0.05).The expression of EZH2 protein was related to Gleason score, TNM stage (P<0.05), but not to age and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level (P>0.05). The expression of EZH2 mRNA was related to TNM stage (P<0.05),but not to age, PSA and Gleason score (P>0.05).The staining intensity of EZH2 was positively correlated with the Ki-67 indexes (r=0.746,P<0.05).Conclusions Over-expression of EZH2 which is involved in accelerating proliferation may play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of human prostate carcinoma. As a molecular marker of prostate carcinoma, EZH2 may serve as a new index for estimating the level of malignancy and progression of the prostate cancer.
