Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;31(13):1037-1040
Orthostatic hypertension (OHT)in children was first proposed by Chinese scholars in 2012.The diagnostic criterion was revised in 2015.OHT in children was not rare in clinical practice.Children and adolescents are susceptible to OHT when they suddenly change posture or standing for a long time.The mechanisms of OHT were not clear.Dizziness,headache,nausea and vomiting were the main manifestations of OHT.Severe symptom in childhood OHT includes syncope.The prognosis of OHT was good,but the abnormal blood pressure will last to adults.Further study in OHT will help to predict the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and help to evaluate target or-gan injury.The treatment of OHT has been explored,and non -medical treatment is the main option.Study in medical treatment for OHT has not been conducted.Now,the diagnostic criteria in children,epidemiologic status,clinical fea-tures and treatment of OHT were focused to deepen the understanding of OHT in children and improve the clinical standard of the disease.

BACKGROUND: In the field of organ transplantation, patients often take immunosuppressants after organ transplantation, such as CsA, FK506, DEX and MPA. However, their mechanisms of immunosuppression are different. The effect of immunosuppressive drugs on monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of different immunosuppressants on the secretions of MCP-1 in whole blood. METHODS: The whole blood of healthy volunteers was mixed with different immunosuppressants for 6 hours, such as CsA, FK506, DEX and MPA, which included low, middle and high concentrations, followed by PMA and IONO stimulation for 6 hours. MCP-1 levels in whole blood samples were compared. The whole blood cultured alone served as control. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: MCP-1 secretion was inhibited by DEX (1, 10 mg/L) and CsA (0.25,1.25 mg/L)- However, FK and MPA exhibited no such effect. Therefore, DEX and CsA may inhibit the function of monocytes and macrophages in immune system by diminishing the secretion of MCP-1. The combination of FK (5 μg/L), MPA (10 mg/L) and DEX (1 mg/L) or CsA (0.25 mg/L), MPA (10 mg/L) and DEX (1 mg/L) can inhibit the secretion of MCP-1, but only DEX among all the immunosuppressants mentioned above exhibited significant effect on inhibiting the secretion of MCP-1 when using alone.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and explore the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in patients with esophageal submucosal tumor. Methods Sixty-eight patients with esophageal submucosal tumor were selected, and the tumor was derived from the muscularis mucosa and submucosa according to the common endoscope and endoscopic ultrasonography detection. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was applied to remove submucosal tumor with diameter less than 1.0 cm, endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was applied to remove submucosal tumor with diameter 1.1 - 1.5 cm, and ESD was applied to remove submucosal tumor bigger than 1.5 cm. Samples were examined by pathology after treatment. Results Tumors in all the patients were completely removed, and the tumor diameter was 0.6-2.3 cm. Forty-one cases were treated with EMR, 9 cases were treated with EPMR and 18 cases were treated with ESD. Four patients had intra-operative bleeding that was stopped by electrocoagulation hemostasis. No perforation occurred in all cases. Postoperative pathology revealed 43 cases had leiomyoma, 23 cases had interstitialoma, and 2 cases had lipoma. Patients were reviewed by gastroscope 3 months after operation. The white scars formed in all patients, and there was no residue or recurrence. Conclusions Different origin layers and property of esophageal submucosal tumor can be diagnosed accurately by EUS, and endoscopic therapy (EMR, EPMR and ESD) is an effective treatment for submucosal tumor from muscularis mucosa and submucosa. Endoscopic therapy is safe and effective. It provides sufficient pathological information.
