Objectives To explore the change of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods Fourty KD pediatric patients, among them 12 patients with echocardiographic abnormalities in acute phase, 25 age-matched non-KD patients were enrolled. The level of serum IL-17 was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in acute and convalescent phase of KD patients and non-KD patients. At the same time, C-reactive protein (CRP), globulin, albumin were detected. Results In acute phase of KD patients, the level of serum IL-17 were signiifcantly higher than that in convalescent phase of KD patients and non-KD patients (P<0.05). The level of serum IL-17 was no signiifcant differences in convalescent phase of KD patients and non-KD patients (P>0.05). In acute phase of KD patients with echocardiography abnormalities, the level of serum IL-17 was signiifcantly higher than that with non-echocardiography abnormalities (P<0.05). The level of serum IL-17 in acute phase of KD patients were positively correlated with CRP and globulin (r=0.750, 0.750, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with albumin (r=-0.779, P<0.05). Conclusions IL-17 may be involved in KD immune pathogenesis. Serum IL-17 is one of the activity index of KD, which associ-ated with cardiovascular damages.

Background and Objectives:
p21, an important member of the Cip/Kip family, is involved in inhibitory effects of RUNX1b overexpression during the early stage of human hematopoiesis.
Methods:
and Results: We established a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line with inducible expression of p21 (p21/hESCs). Overexpression of p21 did not influence either mesoderm induction or emergence of CD34+ cells, but it significantly decreased the production of CD43+ cells and changed the expression profile of hematopoiesis-related factors, leading to the negative effects of p21 on hematopoiesis.
Conclusions
In RUNX1b/hESC co-cultures when RUNX1b was induced from D0, perturbation of the cell cycle caused by upregulation of p21 probably prevented the appearance of CD43+ cells, but not CD34+ cells. The mechanisms via which CD34+ cells are blocked by RUNX1b overexpression remain to be elucidated.

Objective:
To discuss the effect of high-density fat-binding SVF-GEL in female facial lipofilling.
Methods:
This is a retrospective study including 32 female patients, received facial fat transplantation during June 2017 to June 2018 in Yichun College. Each patient underwent high-density fat-binding SVF-GEL transplantation for facial surgery. Patients′satisfaction with the surgery and the rate of secondary surgery was evaluated. Fat was harvested from the inner thigh, centrifuged at 1200 g for 3 min, and the liquid was removed. The upper 2/3 part is prepared for SVF-GEL, for further used in delicate lipofilling in eyelid, tear groove and nasolabial groove. The lower 1/3 high density fat was used for volume restoration, such as forehead, temporal area and cheek.
Results:
All patients had significant improvements in facial contours with mild swelling and short recovery time. The satisfaction rate was 68.8%(22/32), and the second operation rate was 15.6%(5/32).
Conclusions
High-density fat-binding SVF-GEL transplantation can achieve good results in correcting facial volume loss.

OBJECTIVES:
We assessed the role of social support in presenteeism by examining organizational commitment among Chinese healthcare workers.
METHODS:
One thousand four hundred thirty-four healthcare workers from 6 hospitals in 4 Chinese cities completed a questionnaire measuring presenteeism, social support, and organizational commitment. With organizational commitment as the mediator, regression analyses and structural equation modeling were used to test the model.
RESULTS:
Organizational commitment was directly inversely associated with presenteeism (β = - 0.42, p < 0.001). Coworker support was moderately but significantly inversely associated with presenteeism (β = - 0.15, p < 0.001), but the path from supervisor support to presenteeism was not significant (β = 0.05, p > 0.05). The correlation between supervisor support and coworker support was significant (β = 0.71, p <0.001). Supervisor support and coworker support were significantly positively associated with organizational commitment (β = 0.41, p < 0.001, and β = 0.14, p < 0.001, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS
Supervisor support was more important in promoting organizational commitment, while coworker support was more effective in reducing presenteeism. The mediating effect of organizational commitment was significant.
