Objective To explore the relationship between cat fur or dog fur allergens and clinical presentation, as well as allergenic cross-reactivity between cat fur or dog fur allergens and other allergens. Methods Totally 548 children with allergic disorders were assayed with 13 international standard allergen agents by means of SPT. The results were denominated according to the size of skin areola or welt, reference histamine as positive, isotonic Na chloride as negative. Results In 143 children with cat fur allergenic SPT position, 98 cases were boys and 45 cases were girls with an average age of 5. 84 years. In 96 children with dog fur allergenic SPT positive,60 cases were boys and 36 cases were girls with an average age of 6.06 years. The most had occurred in summer. Of them,a large number of cases presented asthma,secondly presented mild cough. Besides, the cross- reactivity of cat fur and dog fur allergenic SPT positive in 64 cases with acarid was most common, followed by latex, which exceeded animal protein, while the cross - reactivity of mold, plant farina and chomophyte allergens were rare. Conclusions About 20% children with allergic disorders are cat fur or dog fur allergenic SPT positive. Cat fur or dog fur allergenic SPT positive results are significantly correlative to age and season, however they are not relative.to sex. Cat fur or dog fur allergens exist correlations with other allergens.

ObjectiveTo analyze clinical manifestations and treatment of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) in children.MethodsThe clinical data of 10 children with EGE under the treatment from June 2014 to June 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThere were 10 children (6 males and 4 females) aged from 9 months to 14 years. Clin-ical symptoms of eight preschool and school age children included abdominal pain (8 cases), vomiting (4 cases), diarrhea (3 cases), ascites (3 cases), rash (3 cases), fever (2 cases) and hypoalbuminemia (2 cases). Clinical symptoms of two in-fant and toddler were diarrhea and hematochezia. Peripheral blood eosinophils were increased in 10 children. IgE was elevated in 9 children. One child had very high C-reactive protein. Endoscopic examination showed mucosal congestion, swelling, erythema, erosion. Multiple sites of biopsy showed eosinophil count> 20/HP. One child was diagnosed by lap-aroscopic exploration. The treatment included diet avoidance, omeprazole, anti-allergic drug. Four children were treated with corticosteroids. All children had been followed up for 6 months to 2 years. One child had relapsed.Conclusion The clinical manifestations of EGE are various. Endoscopic biopsy is necessary for diagnosis. Laparoscopy also is help-ful for diagnosis. Dietary and glucocorticoid therapy were effective.

At present, cancer is still one of the most serious threats to human health. Despite the wide application of multiple cancer therapies in clinical practice, the therapeutic effects of most cancers are still far from satisfactory. In recent years, the discovery of regulated cell death may be a good first step on the road to treat cancer. Ferroptosis is triggered by lipid peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in cell membrane catalyzed by iron ion. It has been widely concerned as an emerging target for cancer therapy. With the booming of biomedical nanotechnology, ferroptosis as an emerging therapeutic target has attracted extensive attention. Here, we review the advance on the intersection of ferroptosis and biomedical nanotechnology. First, the research background of ferroptosis and nano-preparation as well as the feasibility of ferroptosis-based nano-drug delivery systems (nano-DDS) for cancer treatment are presented and analyzed. Then, the strategies for inducing ferroptosis based on nano-DDS are summarized, mainly including: the promotion of Fenton reaction, the inhibition of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX-4) and the restriction of the cysteine-glutamate exchange transporter (system Xc-). Furthermore, the combination therapy strategies based on biomedical nanotechnology induced ferroptosis are also discussed. Finally, we shine the spotlight on the prospects and challenges of ferroptosis-based nanotherapeutics in clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effects of GW4064,one FXR agonist,on the leptin and OB-Rb during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and on the OB-Rb in the HepG2 cells. Methods The mRNA relative expression of leptin , OB-Rb and the protein of leptin on the day of 0 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes after interfered with GW4064 were detected by fluorescent real-time PCR and ELISA , respectively. Meanwhile , the mRNA relative expression of OB-Rb of HepG2 cells after treated with GW4064 0 h , 12 h,24 h,48 h were also examined. Results The mRNA relative expression of leptin in the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and OB-Rb in the HepG2 cells after treated with GW4064 were significantly increased compared with the controlgroup. Also, the protein level of leptin was similar with the mRNA expression. The all differences were statistically significance (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference on OB-Rb in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes cells (P>0.05). Conclusions GW4064 is able to upregulate the expression of leptin in the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and OB-Rb in the HepG2 cells. Now the role of leptin in the NAFLD is still unkown, however, the low expression of OB-Rb is related with the leptin resistance in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. So we hypothesize that FXR agonist may treat NAFLD through upreglating the expression of OB-Rb and improving leptin resistance.

Objective To study the effect of ratanasampil (RNSP) which is Traditional Tibetan Medicine on the levels of serum β-amyloid protein, interleukin and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods One hundred AD patients were divided into two groups in randomized controlled study, including treatment group (RNSP 1 g/d) and control group (piracetam 2.4 g/d). The treatment lasted 12 weeks. The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Alzheimer' s disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog) and Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADLs) were taken to evaluate the efficacy. Serum levels of amyloid peptides (Aβ40 and Aβ42 ) were measured by ELISA assay. The radioimmunologic assay was used to determine the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α. Results The scores of MMSE, ADAS-cog and ADL significantly improved at 12 weeks after RNSP treatment (P<0.01, 0.01, 0.05, respectively), while had no significant changes in piracetam group (P<0.05).The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and Aβ42 were significantly lower in RNSP group than in Piracetam group (P<0.01). There was a decrease trend of the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio at 12 weeks after RNSP treatment (P<0. 05, P<0.01 ). The serum Aβ42 level had strong correlations with TNF-α, IL-1 β and IL-6. There were no significant differences in Aβ40 and IL-8 between RNSP group and piracetam group. No obvious drug side effect happened on the groups. Conclusions The reductions of serum TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 levels after RNSP treatment may lead to decrease of Aβ42 production in AD patients. RNSP may decrease the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio and slow down the progress of AD. It may improve the learning and memory ability in treating patients with mild to moderate AD and is well tolerated and safe.

Objective To examine supine fulcrum pressurized radiograph to predict spinal flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods 1. Empirical study: put two points (A and B) on one side of the plastic stick and one point on the other side ( C), pressurize on the plastic stick when point C is in the middle of A and B, and then measure the projection shifting of point A. Repeat the pressure test when the distance between A and C doubled. Analyze the effect of increasing distance on diminishing pressure. 2.Clinical study :45 patients ( 16 males and 29 females) underwent standing anteroposterior radiograph ,fulcrum lateral flexion radiograph, supine lateral flexion radiograph. The Cobb's angles were measured and the flexibility ratio was determined on preoperative fulcrum radiograph. Results (1) If the length of A and C was 25 cm, pressurize on point C, when pressure quantitative scale number located 1 scale and 2 scale of the rule, projection shifting of point A were 5 cm and 10 cm. If the length of A and C was 50 cm, pressurize on point C, when pressure quantitative scale number located 1 scale and 2 scale of the rule, projection shifting of point A were 8 cm and 15 cm. The longer the distance, the lesser the pressure force of plastics stick. (2)The Cobb angles and curve flexibility provided by fulcrum lateral flexion radiograph had significant difference from that provided by supine lateral flexion radiograph in male group and female group. Cobb angles of male group was 28. 6°± 4. 1 °, 16. 7°± 4. 6° respectively (t= 7. 438, P < 0. 01 )and curve flexibility was 47. 6% ±8. 1% ,69. 4% ± 8. 5% respectively( t = 7. 438, P < 0. 01 ). Cobb angles of female group was 24.5°± 2. 7°,12. 6°±2. 4° respectively(t = 17. 540,P <0. 01 )and curve flexibility was 53.4% ±5.2% ,76. 0% ±4. 7% respectively(t = 17. 54, P < 0. 01 ). The flexibility of spinal main curve of female patients was obviously higher than male patients. Conclusions Supine fulcrum pressurized technique can make up for the insufficiency of supine lateral flexion technique, and provide a convenient, safe, precise and useful method for evaluation of spinal flexibility in AIS.
