Objective To explore the physical growth in infants with eczema who treated with regular use of glucocorticoid.Methods A total of 115 full-term infants newly diagnosed with eczema were included in this study and treated with topical glucocorticoids regularly.The severity of eczema was assessed and anthropometric indices were measured regularly.Results Both weight for age (WAZ) and length for age (LAZ) at birth and 6-month-old were higher than those of World Health Organization (WHO) child growth standards.However,the LAZ at diagnosis and 3 months after treatment were lower than that of WHO child growth standards.The weight,length,and the growth rate from birth to the time of diagnosis were all lower than those of WHO child growth standards.While the growth rate after treatment for 3 to 6 months was higher than that of WHO child growth standards.The increases of WAZ and LAZ were significantly different among three periods:at birth to diagnose,at diagnosis to 3 months after treatment,and 3 months to 6 months after treatment (P＜0.001).Conclusion In the early stage of eczema,the growth rate was decreased when the symptoms were not controlled.However,after treatment,the growth rate was increased.It is suggested that treatment of regular topical glucocorticoids has no adverse effects on growth of eczema infants,and also is beneficial to the catch-up growth of infants.

Objective To investigate the effect of insulin resistance(IR) on the persons with abnormal blood glucose who underwent dietary interventions.Methods 194 individuals with abnormal blood glucose were selected from hyperlipidemia population taking the community intervention program in districts of Beijing.The insulin resistance and insulin action index(IAI) were calculated with fasting blood glucose(FBG) and fasting blood insulin(FINS),and analyzed the relationship of variety on their blood glucose,serum lipids and body weight,body mass index(BMI),waist circumference,waist hip ratio(WHR).Results 1) Blood glucose(FBG),triglyceride(TG),waist circumference and WHR had significant positive relationship with IR but negative with IAI;2) In the intervention group,FBG and TG were reduced significantly in the subgroup with highest IAI.Conclusions IR was related with blood glucose,serum lipids,waist circumference and WHR,but no significant relation with body weight and BMI;It was possible that IR had some effect on dietary intervention.

180,anti-ds-DNA,anti-Sm and lower C3,are high risk factors in the development of LN.The manifestations were various and misdiagnosis at the early stage was not uncommon.

Objective To investigate the pathologic appearances,immunohistochemical features,and genetic changes of malignant triton tumor(MTT). Methods One case of MTT was studied pathologically and immunohistochemically,and the related literatures were reviewed. Results A huge mass,demonstrated in the thorax by X ray and CT scan was seen in the posterior mediastinum in the surgery.Histologically,the tumor was composed of spindle cells with significant atypia.Some of the tumor cells had dense eosinophilic cytoplasm.Immunohistochemical staining revealed positive for myoglobin,desmin and S-100 in most of the tumor cells.The pathological diagnosis was MTT of the posterior mediastinum. Conclusion Cases of MTT in the mediastinum are very rare,with less specific clinical and imaging manifestations.The diagnosis is mainly made on the basis of pathological examination and immunohistochemical staining.

Objective To investigate the value of thyroid transcription factor-1(TTF-1) in the diagnosis and biological behavior assessment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Thirty liver specimens obtained from benign lesions were analysed, among which 25 were hepatic cirrhosis and inflammatory diseases, and the other 5 were adenomas. And there were 176 specimens of liver tumors, among which 142 were HCC (well differentiated, n=12; moderately differentiated, n=57; poorly differentiated, n=73), 17 were intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (ICC) and the other 17 were liver metastatic carcinoma (MC). The expression of TTF-1 was examined immunohistochemically in the above tissues, and the difference in expression of TTF-1 among different tissues was examined by Fisher's exact test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results TTF-1 was significantly expressed in the cytoplasms of all the hepatocytes besides tumors and liver benign lesions. The expression rate of TTF-1 in HCC was 78.9% (112/142), however, TTF-1 was negatively expressed in ICC and MC(P
