Objective:To investigate the incidence and clinical characteristics of Kawasaki disease complicated with arthritis, and explore the relationship with coronary artery disease.Methods:Patients diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at Xiamen Children′s Hospital from January 2015 to June 2020 were included in this study.They were divided into the arthritis group( n=53) and the non-arthritis group( n=401), depending on whether complicated with arthritis.Demographic, clinical symptoms, and laboratory results were retrospectively analyzed. Results:A total of 454 children were included in this study with 53 cases acomplicated with arthritis.There were 32 male cases and 21 female cases.The average age of arthritis group was(5.89±1.35) y, which was older than non-arthritis group[(4.28±1.25) y, P=0.026]. Among the 53 cases of arthritis group, 36 cases (67.92%)of small jiont arthritis, 14 cases(26.41%)of coxitis, ten cases(18.87%)of carpitis, eight cases(15.09%)of gonitis, four cases(7.55%)of anconitis, and three cases(5.66%) of ankle arthritis were involved.There was a statistic difference in the prevalence of intravenous immunogloblin(IVIG)resistant between arthritis group and non-arthritis group(14 cases, 26.14% vs.43 cases, 10.72%, P=0.002). The inflammatory markers(CRP, TNF-α, IL-6) of the arthritis group were significantly higher than those in the non-arthritis group, and the differences were statistically significant( P<0.05, respectively). The incidence of coronary artery disease in the arthritis group(60.38%, 32/53) was higher than that in the non-arthritis group(52.37%, 210/401), but the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). Conclusion:Kawasaki disease with arthritis in children is self-limited, with no sequelae.Patients in the arthritis group have a higher rate of IVIG resistance and higher levels of inflammatory markers, but no significant difference in the incidence of coronary artery disease compared with those without arthritis.

OBJECTIVE: To reveal the characteristics of gene expression in adrenal gland of H22 tumor mice with typical syndromes and in different liver cancer stages. METHODS: By the quantitative four diagnosis and syndrome differentiation methods and GeneChip Mouse Exon 1.0 ST Array, we observed adrenal gland gene expression in H22 tumor mice with pathogenic factor-toxin predominance syndrome and qi deficiency syndrome in the earlier stage, yang-qi deficiency syndrome in the intermediate stage, and qi-yin-yang deficiency syndrome in the advanced stage. Genes highly expressed and remarkably different were analyzed in this study. RESULTS: A total of seventy-three up-regulated coincident genes and twenty-six down-regulated coincident genes in different stages were investigated in the study. Up-regulated coincident genes included Hp, C3, Anxa1, Procr, C2, Il4ra, Cd14, Ptprc, Cd52, C4b, Eno3, Xdh, Gpx3, and so on. Down-regulated coincident genes included nervous system function-related genes such as Plp1, Mbp, Aldh1a1, Cck, Atn1, genes associated with electrolyte metabolism such as Aldh1a1 and Slc22a17, genes related to signal transduction such as Cxcr4, Spag5 and Stmn3, etc, and genes related to transcriptional control and protein biosynthesis such as Hspa1a, Dnajb1, Thra, Hhex and so on. CONCLUSION: With the development of the tumorigenesis, the symptoms and signs and differentially expressed genes in adrenal gland of H22 tumor mice can be measured. Up-regulated and down-regulated coincident genes may be the features of H22 tumor mice different from those of normal mice.

Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is a rare, life-threatening inflammatory response syndrome characterized by overactivation of the immune system, which leads to organ damage. Secondary HPS is usually triggered by infection, tumor and autoimmune disease. It has been clinically found that many HPS-like manifestations also occur during drug therapy. This article reviews the related progress of HPS induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors, ibrutinib and lamotrigine, in order to provide a guidance for clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the correlation and clinical significance between the serum 25-hydrovitamin D3[25-(OH)D3] level and bronchiolitis in children. Methods Sixty-one children with bronchiolitis diagnosed by Xiamen Children′s Hospital between September 2016 and June 2017 were enrolled in the study. Forty-one healthy children were used as the healthy control group. All the children were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for serum 25-(OH)D3levels and serum IgE,IgG,IgA and IgM content. The clinical data of children with bronchiolitis group were recorded in the meanwhile. Results (1) Com-paredwiththehealthycontrolgroup,theserumlevelsof25-(OH)D3[(59.47±23.66)nmol/Lvs.(69.94± 25.19)nmol/L],IgM[(1.27±0.49)g/Lvs.(1.56±0.43)g/L]andIgA[(1.38±0.83)g/Lvs.(1.71± 0. 61)g/L] were significantly lower in children with bronchiolitis;while the serum IgE[(106. 59 ± 67. 74) IU/L vs. (75. 95 ± 35. 27)IU/L] was significantly higher(P<0. 05). (2)The serum levels of IgE,IgG and IgA in children diagnosed bronchiolitis with vitamin D deficiency [( 177. 37 ± 82. 72 ) IU/L, ( 5. 46 ± 1. 95)g/L and(0. 68 ± 0. 24) g/L] were obviously different from those of children diagnosed bronchiolitis with vitamin D inadequate[(94.21 ±44.21)IU/L,(7.14 ±2.82)g/L and(1.35 ±0.72)g/L] and vitamin D normal group[(79. 60 ± 44. 30)IU/L,(8. 03 ± 2. 49)g/L and(1. 57 ± 0. 78)g/L](P<0. 05). There was no significant difference about serum levels of IgE,IgG,IgA and IgM between vitamin D inadequate and vita- min D normal group(P>0. 05). (3)The wheeze time was higher in bronchiolitis children with vitamin D deficiency[(3. 97 ± 1. 01) d] than those of patients with vitamin D inadequate[(2. 41 ± 0. 79) d] and vitamin D normal group[(2. 27 ± 0. 88)d](P<0. 05). The level of venous glucocorticoid utilization was higher in bronchiolitis children with vitamin D deficiency than that of patients with vitamin D normal group (58. 82% vs. 29. 03%)(P<0. 05). There was no significant difference about clinical data between vitamin D inadequate and vitamin D normal group(P>0. 05). Conclusion The serum 25-(OH)D3levels are lower in children with bronchiolitis than those in healthy children. The lower the level of vitamin D,the more severe the children with bronchiolitis. Vitamin D deficiency is an important cause of bronchiolitis in children,which may be related to immune dysfunction effected by vitamin D deficiency.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of femoral stable interlocking intramedullary nail (FSIIN) and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) in the treatment of anterograde intertrochanteric fractures.Methods:From June 2015 to December 2020, 68 cases with surgically treated of femoral intertrochanteric fractures were included. Among them, there were 37 cases (17 males and 20 females) in proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) group, and the age ranged from 48 to 78 years (62.9±7.1 years); 18 cases were on the left and 19 cases on the right; AO/OTA classification: 16 cases of A1 type and 21 cases of A2 type. And there were 31 cases (18 males and 13 females) in FSIIN group without distal locking, the age ranged from 47 to 84 years (62.4±8.6 years); 15 cases were on the left and 16 cases on the right; AO/OTA classification: 11 cases of A1 type and 20 cases of A2 type. Fracture fixation time, incision length and number, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Harris scores at the last follow-up were compared between the two fixation methods.Results:Both groups were followed up, and the follow-up time was 15.3±3.9 months in the FSIIN group and 15.7±3.9 months in the PFNA group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t=0.42, P=0.675). In FSIIN group, the fracture fixation time was 26.6±11.5 min, the total incision length was 7.6±1.8 cm, the intraoperative blood loss was 107.6±42.8 ml and the fracture healing time was 10.1±1.3 weeks. In PFNA group, the fracture fixation time was 40.3±10.8 min, the total incision length was 12.2±1.8 cm, the intraoperative blood loss was 209.4±52.0 ml and the fracture healing time was 16.3±1.6 weeks. In FSIIN group, the fracture fixation time ( t=3.46, P<0.001), total incision length ( t=2.39, P=0.020), intraoperative blood loss ( t=3.16, P<0.001), fracture healing time ( t=2.80, P<0.001) were all less than those in PFNA group, and the difference was statistically significant. The VAS score of FSIIN group was 1.4±0.5 points, and that of PFNA group was 1.6±0.6 points, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t=0.68, P=0.503). The Harris score was 84.5±2.2 in FSIIN group and 83.3±2.5 in PFNA group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t=0.63, P=0.530). At the last follow-up, 29 patients in the FSIIN group were very satisfied with the operation, and 2 patients were satisfied with the operation, with a satisfaction rate of 100%. In PFNA group, 30 patients were very satisfied with the operation, 7 patients were satisfied with the operation, and the satisfaction rate was 100%. Conclusion:Compared with PFNA, micro-invasive and micro-stress shielding methodes of FSIIN in the fixation of anterograde intertrochanteric fractures is more minimally invasive, simple, time-saving, less bleeding, less risk, less pain, minimal stress shilding and enhanced recovery after surgery. The effect of treatment is similar in FSIIN and PFNA group.

Objective:To construct a spatial radiomics model based on the spatial distribution characteristics of supratentorial pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) and ganglioglioma (GG) and to evaluate its differential diagnosis efficiency.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. A retrospective collection of 244 patients with episodic PA and GG who attended Beijing Tiantan Hospital of Capital Medical University (Center 1) from June 2016 to June 2022 and 116 patients with episodic PA and GG who attended General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command (Center 2) from March 2019 to October 2022 was performed. The patients in Center 1 were divided into a training set (171 patients) and a validation set (73 patients) in a 7∶3 ratio according to the random number table method, and the patients in Center 2 as a whole were regarded as test sets. All patients underwent MRI. Segmentation of tumor based on enhanced T 1WI and T 2WI images, alignment to standard space to generate a statistical parametric mapping of tumor locations and intergroup comparison was conducted. The Johns Hopkins University template was used to extract 189 tumor location features to construct a spatial model of tumor location; PyRadiomic 3.0.1 software was used to extract tumor radiomics features to construct a radiomics model; and the two models were fused to construct a spatial radiomics model. The efficacy of spatial radiomics model, spatial model, and radiomics model to discriminate PA from GG was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves and area under the curve (AUC). The generalization ability of the model was assessed by the difference in accuracy between the test sets and the validation sets (ΔACC). The clinical utility of the model was compared using clinical decision curves and calibration curves. Results:The statistical parametric mapping of lesions showed that supratentorial PA was vulnerable to medial structure areas such as suprasellar region, thalamus, basal ganglia and frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe. GG was mainly distributed in bilateral temporal lobes, as well as frontal lobe, occipital lobe and parietal lobe. The AUCs of spatial radiomics model, radiomics model and spatial model to identify PA and GG in the test set were 0.876, 0.785, and 0.819, with accuracies of 77.59%, 72.41%, and 77.14%, respectively, and ΔACCs in the test set and validation set were 11.6%, 15.43%, and 6.94%, respectively. The clinical decision curves showed an overall greater clinical benefit of the spatial radiomics model compared with the conventional radiomics model and spatial model.Conclusion:Spatial radiomics model containing spatial information on lesion location can improve the diagnostic efficacy of supratentorial PA and GG, and enhance the generalization of the prediction model.
