Forty six children with Kawasaki disease (observer group) were classified as coronary artery lesions (CAL) subgroup (19 cases) and non-coronary artery lesions (NCAL) subgroup (27 cases)according to echocardiography; 50 healthy children served as control group.Serum heart-type fatty acidbinding protein (h-FABP), platelet activating factor (PAF), cardiac tropnin Ⅰ (cTnI) and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) levels of all subjects were detected.The results showed that the h-FABP and cTnI levels and positive rate in observer group were higher those in control group (P ＜ 0.05 ), while there were no differences in CK-MB level and positive rate between two groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The h-FABP positive rate in observation group was higher than the positive rates of cTnI and CK-MB (P ＜0.05).The PAF level, PLT and polymorphonuclear neutrophil count in observer group were higher than those in control group ( P ＜0.05).The h-FABP and PAF levels in CAL subgroup were higher than those in NCAL subgroup (P ＜0.05).The results suggest that serum h-FABP and PAF can be used as diagnostic indicators for Kawasaki disease complicated with coronary artery lesions.

Acute retinal necrosis syndrome (ARNS) is a group of eye syndrome.Acute uveitis, retinal artery occlusive vasculitis, fused necrotic retinitis and late stage of retinal detachment is the main clinical manifestation.A part of patients may be associated with increased intraocular pressure.The etiology and pathogenesis is still not clear completely and most people think that may be related to the virus infection, which mainly to reflected to be herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), EB virus and giant cell virus (CMV) infection.Its diagnosis mainly depends on clinical manifestation, examination and etiological examination.Acute retinal necrosis syndrome is urgent and develops quickly, and it is lack of specific clinical symptoms in early times.By the way, it enjoys high misdiagnosis rate and poor prognosis.It is hard to cure, therefore, it is an important reason for the blindness.Once diagnosed, treatment should be adopted by carrying local and systemic antiviral, preventive laser photocoagulation in time.At the same time, it is essential that vitreous body resection combine with silicone oil tamponade treatment when necessary.The study shows that the effective measures of early treatment will be able to prevent disease progression and improve visual acuity.Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of acute retinal necrosis syndrome is very important.In this paper, combination of the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of acute retinal necrosis syndrome were reviewed.

Objective To evaluate the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and diabetic kidney disease in Chinese population.Methods After searching the related literatures from PubMed,Medline,EMBASE databases and common Chinese journal literature databases,meta-analysis was performed to assess the association of MTHFR C677T polymorphism with diabetic kidney disease according to the principles of systematic review based on the recessive model and dominant model respectively.Fixed effect model (M-H) was used to pool odd ratio (OR) after heterogeneity test.The Begg and Egger analysis were conducted to evaluate the publication bias.Results 10 literatures including a total of 2018 cases were included in the metaanalysis.No significant heterogeneity was detected.Data were pooled by fixed effect model.The total OR was 2.41 (95％CI=1.85～3.13) and 2.33 (95％CI=1.82～2.98) in recessive and dominant models respectively.No obvious publication bias was observed by Begg and Egger analysis.Conclusions The T allele of C677T polymorphism in MTHFR gene is positively associated with diabetic kidney disease in Chinese population.

Wearable technology, widely applied in health and medical field, has become an important part of in-telligent healthcare and medicare. However, the data security and privacy protection of wearable health and medi-cal devices are greatly concerned and need to be solved. The characteristics of data security and privacy protection of wearable health and medical devices were thus analyzed and compared with those of traditional health and medi-cal devices. The related studies and laws on domestic and foreign wearable health and medical devices were summa-rized, and the advances, experiences and problems in domestic and foreign wearable health and medical devices were analyzed and compared in order to provide reference for establishing the mechanisms underlying their data se-curity and privacy protection.

Objective To investigate the effect of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) on inducing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to neuron stem-like cell in vitro. Methods MSCs isolated from umbilical cord were transfected with plasmid DNA encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) and GFP-fusion ILK, wild and mutant, respectively; and cultured in serum-free media with basic fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor and B27. It was assessed with the proliferative activity and the efficiency of differentiation into neural stem-like cell. Results MSCs transfected with GFP-fusion wild ILK expressed ILK and kinase-dead mutant ILK stably. The activity of proliferation increased and more of them differentiated into neural stem-like cell, which express CD133 and Nestin validated by PCR and Western blotting, and more of wild than of mutant. Conclusion Integrin-linked kinase may play a positive role in MSC differentiation into neural stem-like cell, which may associate with the activity of kinase.

Objective To set up a new method,which is sensitive,low cost,rapid and suitable for clinical application for FTO gene rs9930506 variant genotyping basing on high resolution melting (HRM) platform,and to preliminarily put into practice in susceptibility analysis for metabolic syndrome (MS) in Beijing.Methods Unlabelled probe with C3-spacer block specific for rs9930506 variant has been designed according to the Refseq from GenBank.With LC-Green plus dye pre-mixed,we scanned the signal for the genotype analysis after PCR amplification and HRM reaction.Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and PCR-sequencing methods were designed as 2 control genotyping methods for the evaluation of accuracy and convenience.Afterwards,the HRM-based method was put into practice in metabolic syndrome patients (n =500) and control groups (n =500) for rs9930506 genotyping,and primarily study the association between rs9930506 and MS.Results All the 3 methods could genotype rs9930506 appropriately,although the 2 control methods seemed to be a little time-inefficient.The call rate of HRM-method was 100％ and sampling accuracy reached 99.3％ according to sequencing results.In the MS group,AA,AG and GG genotypes were found in 290,185 and 25 cases,respectively.And in the control group,those were found in 344,138 and 18 cases.No genotype distribution difference was detected between control group and HapMap-CHB data (P =0.520 ).The genotype distributions were all in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in each group.AA genotype of rs9930506 seemed to reduce the risk for MS( OR =0.626,95％CI =0.483-0.812).Conclusions The AA genotype of rs9930506 variant in FTO might be a protective factor for MS in Beijing population.The susceptibility related genotyping in clinical samples could be more rapid,precise and inexpensive with the development of HRM in genotyping.

Objective In order to cure some patients with the following characteristics which appear only when smiling: elevation and shortening of the upper lip, a transverse furrow below the co-lumella, and increased exposure of the maxillary gums, we reported a new surgical procedure to cor-rect this deformities. Methods By means of a transfixion incision extended laterally along the vestibu-lar or the upper gingivolabial sulcus incision, part of the depressor septi and orbicularis muscle were excised, and extensive separation were made to lower the upper lip. Results 27 cases of short upper lip were treated. Among the total, the transfixion incisions were made in 9 cases, and the upper gingi-volabial sulcus incisions were made in 18 cases. These procedures achieved lowering the upper lip, lighting or disappearing the transverse furrow, and covering the exaggerated exposure of the gums when patients smiled. At the same time the rhinoplasties were done in 6 cases. Through the above-mentioned we were able to correct the deformities on rhino-gingivolabial part only when the faces moved, achieved some kind of beauty for patients, and obtained satisfactory results. Conclusions Some patients have added defects .that are exported only when they begin to make facial movements. The cause of these characteristics is hypertrophy of the depressor septi nasi muscles. We describe the technique that is not only to correct the defects but also to enhance the patient's smile. It is worth to recommend for clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo observe anti-cancer effects of Jianpi Jiedu Recipe (JJR) on liver cancer (LC) rats with Pi deficiency syndrome (PDS) and its relation with the third complementary-determining region gene spectratyping of TCRVβ-chain (TCRVβCDR3).

METHODSRats were divided into 8 groups according to random digit table, i.e., the blank control group (normal), the PDS group, the LC model group, the LC-PDS group, high, middle, and low dose JJR groups (75.00, 37.50, 18.75 g/kg, respectively by gastrogavage, once per day), the thymus pentapeptide group (5 mg/kg, intramuscular injection, twice per week), 8 in each group. Rats in the normal group were administered with physiological saline by gastrogavage once per day. PDS rat model was prepared by bitter-cold purgation. LC model was prepared by orthotopic transplantation method. Twenty gene subfamilies of TCRβCDR3 in the thymus, liver, and LC tissues were detected by Gene Scan.

RESULTSHigh and middle dose JJR could postpone the growth of LC volume (P < 0.05), with equivalent liver index and thymus index to those of the normal group (P > 0.05). In thymus and liver tissue of the normal group, the number of clones (20 and 19), gene fragment number (220 and 113), Quasi-Gaussian distribution ratio of TCRVβCDR3 gene repertoire (100.0% and 42.1%), and fragment fluorescence peak area (6,539 ± 2,325 and 1,238 ± 439) were at the highest level among the 8 groups. TCRVβCDR3 expressions in thymus and liver tissue of high and middle dose JJR groups were approximate to those of the normal group. They were in the middle of the thymus pentapeptide group, the PDS group, the LC model group, and poorest in the LC-PDS group. TCRVβCDR3 in liver tissue expressed the best in the thymus pentapeptide group.

CONCLUSIONJJR might inhibit the growth of LC cells, and its mechanism might be related to enhancing TCRVβCDR3 spectratype expression.
