S. He, Li, Y. J., Chen, J., He, S., Li, Y. J., and Chen, J., Clinical features of allergic rhinitis in children of Shanghai, China, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

The aims of the current study were to assess the clinical features of allergic rhinitis (AR) in children in Shanghai. Serum-specific IgE (sIgE) tests were performed on samples from patients with AR symptoms from January 2011 to December 2014. A disease-related questionnaire was completed after AR diagnosis. The allergen profile and clinical features of AR were analyzed. In total, 2713 AR patients were enrolled in this study. Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus was found to be the most common offending allergen in the study population.

Expression and effect of serum interleukin-24 level on bone marrow mononuclear cells in children with acute leukemia

H. R. Cheng, Wu, B. Q., Chen, L., Zhang, Z. X., and Li, B., Expression and effect of serum interleukin-24 level on bone marrow mononuclear cells in children with acute leukemia, vol. 14, pp. 17281-17288, 2015.

To investigate the expression of interleukin-24 (IL-24) in the children with acute leukemia (AL) and its effect on the apoptosis of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) in vitro. Four groups were assessed: acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), non-leukemia, and healthy groups, 20 children in each group. ELISA was used to measure IL-24 serum level. The bone marrow was taken from patients and controls. BMMNCs were isolated and the DNA was analyzed by glucose electrophoresis. Flow cytometry was used to determine BMMNC apoptosis.
