Glomerulonephritis and rheumatic heart disease are usually inferred as immune complex disease caused by infections, but the pathogenesis of rheumatic heart disease is still not clear. In this experiment, we infected 38 rabbits with cercariae of S. japonicum and de-monstrated the histopathological changes of endocarditis, myocarditis and perivasculitis in the heart tissues of 33(86.8%) infected rabbits. Thrombosis was also found in heare vessels, but adult schistosomes or eggs were not found in the heart tissues. Direct and ndirect immune enzyme staining studies showed the presence of schistosome-specific antigenst and host antibodies in the heart tissues, suggesting that the histopathological changes in ithe infected rabbit hearts were resulted from the deposition of immune complexes and th secondary events pf host autoimmune reactions. In this paper, correlative clinical cases were reviewed and the possibility of heart disease in human schistosomiasis caused by immune mechanism was discussed. We hope that the above findings might broaden our understanding of the pathogenesis of rheumatic heart disease, myocardiopathy and cardio-vascular diseases (Plates 1-3).

Objective To investigate the clinical feature, treatment and prognosis of severe hand-footmouth disease without typical skin lesions. Methods Clinical data from 24 patients with severe hand-footmouth disease without typical skin lesions collected from January 2010 to May 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 17 males and 7 females among the 24 patients. Of them, 3 patients with positive EV71 showed no skin lesions at the first visit, 2 presented with only herpes of mouth, 3 with only skin rashes in gluteal regions, 5 with only skin rashes on the palms, 2 with only skin rashes of the knees, 9 with skin rashes in hands, feet and gluteal regions simultaneously. The skin rashes were sparse with an atypical distribution.Fever occurred in all the 24 patients and lasted 6 - 7 days. Nervous system was involved in all the patients,and pulmonary hemorrhage occurred in 4 patients. RT-PCR and real-time PCR showed that the pharyngeal swab was positive for EV71 in 13 patients, for CoxA16 in 2, for other enterovirus in 3, and feces samples were positive for EV71 in 9 patients, for CoxA16 in 1, for other enterovirus in 2. Five patients were positive for EV71 in both pharyngeal swab and feces samples. Four patients died of multiple organ failure, the other 20 patients were cured and discharged from hospital. Conclusions The major pathogen causing severe hand-footmouth disease is EV71 in the 24 patients; children under 2 years are liable to this disease; high fever is common with various rashes. Early recognition of atypical skin lesions and timely management are most important for the control of severe hand-foot-mouth disease and improvement in overall survival of patients with this entity.

Objective The aim of this study was to describe the FICE application on gastric mucosa characteristics including normal and pathological changes, with or without H.pylori infection, and its corre-lation with histopathoingical evidence. Methods A total of 32 patients with dyspepsia symptoms and 5 healthy controls were enrolled into study. Each one underwent esophngogastreduedenoscopy (EGD) examina-tion with FICE and magnified observation. The whole stomach was examined by 3 steps: including conven-tional endoscopy followed by magnifying and FICE observation of the gastric antrum and body as well as biop-sies. All the patients were asked to take the rapid urease test (RUT) 、13C -urea breath test (13C-UBT) . Gastric antrum and body were both sub-classified into following 3 patterns by FICE observation and high reso-lution magnifying endoscopy. The sensitivity, specificity of each FICE pattern of both gastric antrum and body were analysed for the assessment of H. pylori infection, and the consistency with the results of RUT and 13C-UBT. Furthermore, the histopathologic parameters including inflammation、activity、atrophy and intestinal metaplasia were also assessed, Results FICE patterns of gastric antrum and body of all 5 control subjects were type Ⅰ, corresponded to an H. pylori negative and non-atrephy gastric mueosa. In study group on gastric antrum, 14 cases of FICE type Ⅰ pattern were noted and only 1/14(7. 1%) corresponded to an H. pylori positive gastric mucosa. 13 cases of FICE type Ⅱ pattern were noted and 10/13 (76. 9%) corresponded to an H.pylori positive mucosa and 9/13(69. 2%) were positive for both gastric atrophy. 5 cases of FICE type Ⅲ pattern were noted and 5/5 (100%) corresponded to an H. pylori positive mucosa and 3/5 (60%) were positive for both gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. There was statistical difference in prediction of H. pylori infection between type Ⅰ FICE pattern and type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ pattern on gastric antrum (P <0. 01). In study group on gastric body, 15 cases of FICE type Ⅰ pattern were noted and only 1/14(7. 1%) corre-sponded to an H. pylori positive gastric mucosa. 13 cases of FICE type Ⅱ pattern were noted and 11/13 (84. 6%) corresponded to an H. pylori positive mucosa. 4 cases of FICE type Ⅲ pattern were noted and 4/4 (100%) corresponded to an H.pylori positive mucosa. There was statistical difference in prediction of H. pylori infection between type Ⅰ FICE pattern and type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ pattern on gastric body (P < 0. 01). Conclusion FICE in combination with high resolution magnifying endoscopy is valuable for identifying the normal gastric mucosa, H.pylori infection and its associated gastritis, gastric atrophy as well as intestinal metaplasia.
