Abstract
BACKGROUND Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute self-limited vasculitis with a predilection for coronary arteries. Children with KD may have altered lipid metabolism and abnormal lipid profiles that may last for prolonged periods. However, there is a paucity of literature on the role of adipocytokines in KD.
AIM To estimate the levels of adipocytokines (adiponectin, leptin and resistin) during the convalescent phase of KD.
METHODS Twenty children, who had KD at least three years earlier, were enrolled in this study. In addition, 20 healthy controls were also enrolled. Clinical and laboratory profiles of patients were obtained from hospital records. Serum adiponectin, leptin and resistin levels were estimated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
RESULTS Mean age of the patients in the study group was 10.15 ± 3 years and the male: female ratio was 1.5:1. Median serum resistin levels in patients with KD (27.77 ng/mL; [IQR: 18.66, 48.90]) were decreased compared to controls (21.20 ng/mL; [IQR: 14.80, 27.00]) (P = 0.04). Median serum leptin levels in cases and controls were 1.83 ng/mL; (IQR: 1.13, 3.80), and 1.10 ng/mL; (IQR: 0.41, 2.88), respectively (P = 0.09). Median serum adiponectin levels were similar in both cases (12.20 µg/mL; [IQR: 9.76, 17.97]) and controls (13.95 µg/mL; [IQR: 11.17, 22.58]); (P = 0.18). There was no significant difference in all 3 adipocytokines between children with (4/20) and without coronary artery abnormalities (16/20).
CONCLUSION Serum resistin levels were significantly elevated in patients with KD during the convalescent phase compared to controls. Serum leptin levels appeared to be higher in patients with KD, although the difference was not statistically significant. Adiponectin levels were similar in both cases and controls. Raised resistin and leptin levels may partially explain lipid perturbations observed during the convalescent phase of KD.

Abstract
Background Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) caused by enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) poses a serious threat to children's health. Kinetics of the neutralising antibody (NAb) response in EV-A71 infected HFMD patients remains unclear. The ideal sampling time of paired serum samples for serological diagnosis of EV-A71 infection is not well defined. Methods HFMD inpatients admitted to Henan Children's Hospital between February 15, 2017 and February 15, 2018 were enrolled. Serial serum samples collected during hospitalisation and up to 1.5 years after discharge were tested for NAb against EV-A71. Random intercept modelling with B-spline was conducted to characterize the kinetics of the EV-A71 NAb response over time after illness onset. Findings A total of 524 serum samples from 264 EV-A71 RNA positive HFMD inpatients were collected. NAb titres of EV-A71 infected patients were estimated to increase from 40 (95% CI: 9-180) at the day of onset to the peak of 2417 (95% CI: 1859-3143) at day 13, then remained above 1240 until 26 months. For serological diagnosis of EV-A71 infection, if at least a 4-fold rise in titre was used as the criteria, the acute phase serum should be collected at 0-4 days, the corresponding convalescent serum should be collected 14.9 days (95% CI: 9.1-23.8) after illness onset. Interpretation EV-A71 infection induced a strong and persistent humoral immune response in HFMD patients. The findings provide a scientific support for determining the collection time of paired serum samples for serological diagnosis of EV-A71 infected HFMD patients.

Physical function and health-related quality of life in the convalescent phase in surgically treated patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Support Care Cancer 2019; 27:4107-4113.

Abstract
PURPOSE According to reports, patients with lung cancer have decreased pulmonary function and exercise capacity after surgery. However, to date, physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after surgery for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) have not been evaluated in detail in the convalescent phase. This study aimed to assess physical function and HRQOL of MPM patients following pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) in the convalescent phase. METHODS The study included 16 male MPM patients who underwent P/D between September 2014 and August 2016. Physical function was assessed based on handgrip and knee extensor strengths, the six-minute walk distance (6MWD), and pulmonary function, including forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). HRQOL was assessed using the Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The assessment was performed preoperatively, postoperatively, and 1-year after surgery. RESULTS The 6MWD, FVC, and FEV1 values 1-year postoperatively improved significantly compared with baseline (P < 0.05 all). Additionally, the scores of six of the eight SF-36 domains were significantly improved 1 year after P/D: physical functioning, body pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, and mental health (all P < 0.05). 6MWD, FVC, and FEV1 were correlated with vitality, mental health, and physical functioning (P < 0.05 all). CONCLUSIONS Patients with MPM who underwent P/D showed improved physical function and HRQOL compared with postoperative values in the convalescent phase. Physicians, nurses, and rehabilitation staff should note these findings, which may provide insight into the development of customized rehabilitation strategies in the convalescent phase for such patients.
