Article Synopsis
- The study investigates immune responses in children with measles, focusing on innate immune receptors and cytokines.
- The research involved comparing hospitalized measles patients with healthy controls, analyzing mRNA and protein levels of specific immune markers.
- Findings revealed lower expressions of certain immune receptors and interferons in measles patients, while IL-10 levels were significantly higher, indicating an altered immune response during the infection.

Objective: To understand the clinical and epidemiological aspects of avian influenza A (H7N9) virus infection in children.
Method: The clinical data of the first confirmed pediatric case of avian influenza A(H7N9) virus infection were collected, and the epidemiological information, presenting symptoms, laboratory investigation, management and outcome were analyzed. The data of the pediatric cases were also compared with those of the adults cases.
Objective: To explore the susceptibility of children to develop intrauterine hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection through studying the association between interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) + 874 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and intrauterine HBV infection.
Methods: The subjects were selected from outpatients who were in our hepatitis B (HB) vaccine following-up clinics. The subjects whose mothers were HBV carriers were inoculated with HB vaccine or HB vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIg).
