1.Progress in the role of steroids in Kawasaki disease therapy
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;40(4):367-370
Kawasaki disease(KD) is the most common reason for acquired heart disease in children,which is closely related to autoimmune response and the release of cytokines in vascular endothelial cells.Steroids are strongly effective in countering inflammation as well as immune response.In the time of being,it has become a hot spot that steroids play an important role in the initial treatment for acute KD and for incomplete and refractory KD.
2.Kawasaki disease and allergic diseases
International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;39(3):234-236
Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the most common causes of acquired heart disase in children,the development of which is closely related to the allergic diseases.Recent studies have manifested that the incidence of allergic diseases in children with KD is far higher than that in those children without KD.Meanwhile,the morbidity of KD in allergic children is significantly higher than that in those who do not have family medical history of allergic diseases.By far,the mechanisms causing interaction between KD and allergic diseases still remain unclear.Possible mechanisms include IgE-meditated immune response,release of large quantity of cytokines and inflammatory meditators as well as atopic family history.

4.Epidemiological investigation of allergic rhinitis in the primary school students in grade three of Shihezi city
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2009;(23):1074-1078
Objective:To investigate the epidemic features of allergic rhinitis(AR)and correlative risk factors in Shihezi city,Xinjiang province,China. Method:A question-naire survey on AR and airway diseases was conducted among 2300 elementry school children in 12 schools,aged from 9 to 10 years old,from july 10 to 25,2008. in Shihezi city,Xinjiang province.Suspects of AR was identified by the survey,then they were recommended to specialist examinations for accurate diagnosis. Allergen skin tests were peformed to explore the allergenic varieties of allergic rhinitis. Diagnosis criteria of AR were that of ARIA(Allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma). Resuit:Two thousand two hundred and eleven questionnaires were returned. The response rate was 96.1% and 2205 questionnaires were available.The prevalence rate of AR in children aged from 9 to 10 was 12.56%(277/2205) in Shihezi city.The difference of prevalence between female 13.76%(153/1112) and male 11.34%(124/1093) was insignificant statistically(χ~2=2.924,P>0.05). The positive rate of the allergen skin test was 65.3%. The most common allergen of allergic rhinitis were plants of the mugwort and house dust mite. According to the ciassification criteria of ARIA in 2001,of 155 children suffered from intermittent AR,112 cases were mild and 43 cases were moderate-severe,while 122 suffered from persistent AR,110 cases were mild and 12 cases were moderatesevere. 5.4%(15/277) patients with AR also had bronchial asthma.25.3%(70/277) of the children with AR had inherent predisposition.Conclusion:The prevalence rate of AR in children aged from 9 to 10 in Shihezi city is 12.56%. Strategy of prevention and treatment of AR can be worked out according to the epidemical feature of AR.

International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2012;(12):1078-1080
Objective To observe the influences of Yiqi-Humo recipe,A traditional Chinese prescription,on mucosa repair after endoscopic mucosal resction (EMR) and (or) endoscopic submucoal dissection (ESD).Methods 32 patients,who received EMR or ESD,were randomly recurited into a control group with 14 patients (omeprazole) and a experiment group with 18 patients (Yiqi-Humo recipe + omeprazole).Patients of both groups received treatment for a period of 4 weeks.Follow-up endoscopy was performed at 1 and 4 weeks after EMR or ESD,the index of symptom and mucosa signs were evaluated before and after the operation.Results At the 4 weeks after the procedure,the index of pain,pantothenic acid,anorexia,burning sensation in the experiment group [(0± 0.00)、(0± 0.00)、(2 ± 0.11)、(1 ± 0.06)] were lower than those in the control group [(12±0.86)、(6±0.43)、(15 ± 1.07)、(14± 1.00),P<0.01].The index of hyperemia and edema of the experiment group [(3 ± 0.17)、(3 ± 0.17)] were less than those of the control group [(16± 1.14)、(15 ± 1.07),P< 0.01].Conclusion The prescription of Yiqi-Humo recipe promoted mucosa repair significantly after EMR or ESD.
6.Clinical Analysis of 124 Children with Henoch-Sch(o)nlein Purpura
Journal of China Medical University 2010;(1):58-60
Objective To study the clinical characteristics of Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura (HSP) in children.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 124 children with HSP.Results Among these 124 children,54.84% of the children presented upper respiratory tract infection before the onset of HSP.The purpura recurred in 30 of 47 children with Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis and in 22 of 77 children without Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis,respectively (P<0.05).The incidence of Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis was significantly higher in children who had purpura,gastrointestinal symptoms,and joint symptoms simultaneously than in those only with purpura (P<0.05).The elevated levels of IgA and C reactive protein were found in 67.35% and 39.39% of the children,respectively.Conclusion The most important predisposing factor of HSP is upper respiratory tract infection.The children with recurrence of purpura or those who have purpura,gastrointestinal symptoms,and joint symptoms simultaneously are more likely to present renal damage.
7.Establishing better biological models to understand occlusion.I:TM joint anatomic relationships
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2015;(4):560-576
Belief in and rejection of a relationship of occlusion and temporomandibular joint (TMJ)condyle-fossa position with normal and abnormal function are still contentious issues.Clinical opinions can be strong,but support in most published data (mostly univariate)is problematic.Distribution overlap,low sensitivity and specificity are a common basis to reject any useful prediction value.Notwithstanding,a relationship of form with function is a basic tenet of biology.These are multifactor problems,but the questions mostly have not been analysed as such.This review moves the question forward by focusing on TMjoint anatomic organisation as the multifactor system it is expected to be in a closed system like a synovial joint.Multifactor analysis allows the data to speak for itself and reduces bias.Classification tree analysis revealed useful prediction values and usable clinical models which are illustrated,backed up by stepwise logistic regression.Explained vari-ance,R2 ,predicting normals from pooled TMJ patients was 32.6%,sensitivity 67.9%,specificity 85.7%;37% versus disc displacement with reduction;and 28.8% versus disc displacement without reduction.Significant osseous organisational differences between TMjoints with clicking and locking suggest that this is not necessarily a single disease continuum.However,a subset of joints with clicking contained char-acteristics of joints with locking that might contribute to symptom progression versus resistance.Moderately strong models confirm there is a relationship between TMJ osseous organisation and function,but it should not be overstated.More than one model of normals and of TMde-rangement organisation is revealed.The implications to clinical decision-making are discussed.
8.COX-2 and its inhibitors in lung cancer drug resistance
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(3):203-205
COX-2 is the inducible form of cyclooxygenase,which is overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer,especially in the adenocarcinoma,and is involved in the production of lung cancer drug resistance, reducing the sensitivities of tumor cells to chemotherapy drugs. COX-2 inhibitors have the effects of antitumor and prevention of tumor formation. Therefore,in order to reverse the drug resistance of tumor cells,improve the sur-vival rate and the prognosis of patients with tumor,the application of COX-2 inhibitors as adjuvant chemotherapy and combined with chemotherapy drugs has become a new direction in the treatment of lung cancer.
