Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic， progressive， inflammatory disorder that mainly affects axial skeleton. Researches of the etiology and pathogenesis of AS in the past years greatly contributed to the rapid progress in diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile， the combination of standardized use of traditional agents and TNF alpha inhibitors has rewritten the medical history of AS. Early， adequate and regular therapy and functional exercise can inhibit inflammation， delay the radiographic progression and new bone formation immediately. Further studies are required to confirm the efficacy and safety of novel biological agents.

Sjogren syndrome(SS) is a set of heterogeneous systemic autoimmune diseases characterized by dry mouth and dry eyes. There is often systemic involvement(extraglandular  manifestications). A variety of topical and systemic drugs are available to treat SS， although no evidencebased therapeutic guidelines are available. The therapeutic management of pSS is based on symptomatic treatment of glandular manifestations and on the use of diseasemodifying drugs for systemic involvement. Because mounting evidence points to a central pathophysiologic role for B cells， Bcell depletion is being evaluated as a treatment of SS. This review focuses on the major therapeutic discoveries of the last few years to offer practical methods for the treatment of patients with SS.

Uric acid is the ending product of purine metabolism. Increased serum uric acid (SUA) affects the stability of atheromatous plaque and increases the incidence of myocardial infarction, heart failure and allcause mortality of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Especially in female patients, the incidence of CHD has increased significantly. Using normotensive children for comparison, the risk of showing prehypertension or hypertension increases by at least 50% for each 1 mg/L SUA increase in adolescence. The morbidity of hypertention in male is higher than that in female. Hyperuricemia (HUA) also adds the risk of diabetes, abnormal glucose tolerance and diabetic nephropathy. To some extent, HUA aggravates symptoms of metabolic syndrome such as insulin resistance, obesity or lipid metabolic disorders. Although HUA increases prevalence risk of cardiovascular disease, there is no consensus recommendation for the treatment of asymptomatic HUA at home and abroad.

Objective  To investigate the effect of two analgesic and sedation strategies (midazolam and midazolam combined with fentanyl) in treating severe handfootmouth children with mechanical ventilation. Methods  A total of 190 children with severe handfootmouth disease treating with mechanical ventilation were selected. According to treatment program， all patients were divided into two groups， including 95 patients with midazolam  as M   group and 95 patients with midazolam combined with fentanyl as M+F group. Therapeutic effect was compared between both groups. Results  After treatment， ramsay scores were  within a reasonable range in both groups. After sedation of 2 h， 4 h， 6 h， 8 h， 10 h and 12 h， Ramsay score was closer to ideal sedation end point in M+F group than in M group (P<0.01). After sedation， PAED score was significantly decreased in both groups. As sedation time prolonged， PAED score decreased more significantly. After sedation of 2 h， 4 h， 6 h， 8 h，10 h and 12 h， PAED score was significantly lower in M+F group than in M group (P<0.01). Spontaneous breathing time， eye opening time， accurately complete instruction time， extubation time and orientation recovery time were significantly earlier in M+F group than in M  group (P<0.01). Mechanical ventilation time， ICU hospitalization time and total hospitalization time were significantly decreased in M+F group than in M group (P<0.01). Conclusion  Midazolam combined with fentanyl can obviously relieve pain， reduce agitation， shorten recovery time and treatment time and it is worthy of clinical use.
