Objective To study the influences of 8 important factors on fatigue evaluation as performing typical upper extremity operation. Methods Thirty-two subjects were divided into young male (G1),mid-age male (G2) and female (G3) groups. They were required to perform right arm flex/extend operation under different situations for 16 runs. L16 (44?23) orthogonal array was used to combine different situations (factors). Brief fatigue inventry(BFI) were recorded and simultaneous manual works (energy) were calculated. Both of them were used to evaluate the operation strategies. Results Difference between G1 and G2 was not significant,whereas it was as large as 39%,between G1+G2 and G3 (P

Objective Using heart rate(HR) and heart rate variability(HRV) as stress level indices,to find out the changes of stress level in mental fatigue and physical fatigue,respectively.Methods The changes of HR and HRV during reading task and written calculation task were studied in mental fatigue,and the change of HR during exhausting physical exercise was analyzed in physical fatigue.Results Subjects showed high stress level as heavy mental load was imposed on at the beginning of the experiment.Decreased HR and increased HRV caused by physiological inhibitory protection,indicating an increased mental fatigue level,showed that mental fatigue level was opposite to mental stress level under heavy mental workload.The phenomenon that HR increased along with the physical fatigue level increasing,proved that physical fatigue degree was often consistent with physical stress level,which revealed the compensative adjustment.Conclusion The significant difference of autonomic nervous system(ANS) activity between mental fatigue and physical fatigue,may be explained by the difference between mental stress and physical stress of mechanism,mainly born organ and workload intensity.

ObjectiveTo assess the prognostic efficiency of three different risk socres in patients underwent redo-coronary artery bypass grafting (redo-CABG).MethodsFrom January 1997 to July 2011,57 patients underwent redo-CABG in Fu Wai Hospital.All patients were prospectively scored for operative mortality using EuroScore,STS Score and Sinoscore.The overall expected mortality were compared with the observed mortality.Discrimination was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) cures and area under a ROC curve (AUC).ResultsFour patients died in the whole group,the observed mortality was 7％.The overall predicted mortality of EuroScore,STS Score and SinoScore were 5.6％,2.2％ and 1.5％,all lower than the observed mortality.The AUC of the three kinds of score were respectively 0.495,0.557 and 0.535,which indicated that the discrimination of the three kinds of score are poor.ConclusionThe predictive value of EuroScore,STS Score and SinoScore for early postoperative mortality in patients undergoing redo-CABG is poor.Surgical technology is an important predictor for early postoperative mortality.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of SAPHO syndrome.Methods Clinical data of 22 cases of SAPHO syndrome were analysed.Results There were 7 males and 15 females among the 22 patients.The average age at onset of cutaneous and osteoarticular lesions was 45 years and 44 years, respectively.Of the 22 patients,21 had palmoplantar pustulosis and 1 had acne fulminans.Anterior chest wall (ACW) was involved in 19 patients,peripheral joints in 4 patients and sacroiliac joints in 2 patients.Osteoarticular manifestations occurred prior to the onset of skin lesions in 10 cases.after that in 9 cases,and simultaneously in 3 cases.The mean interval between the onset of cntaneous and osteoarticular lesions was 2.7 years and the longest interval was 20 years.Conclusions Middle-aged females predominate in patients with SAPHO syndrome seen in dermatological clinics.Palmoplantar pustulosis and ACW involvement are the most common clinical manifestations of SAPHO syndrome.

Objective:To explore the anatomic repair strategy for congenital corrected transposition of great arteries (ccTGA).Methods:At the retrospective study, from August 2004 to May 2019, all 120 consecutive ccTGA were included and all accepted anatomic repair. There were 36 cases with with left ventricular outlet obstruction(LVOTO) and cardiac malpositon [ages(4.6±2.2) years, weight(17.7±5.9)kg] underwent the one and a half ventricle repair(hemi-Mustard and bidirectional Glenn procedures combined with the Rastelli), 49 cases[ages(3.4±2.7) years, weight(17.7±11.4)kg] underwent double switch operation(Great artery swtich with Senning operation), 24 cases [ages(5.7±4.3) years, weight(19.1±8.6)kg] with LVOTO and ventricular sept defect(VSD) accepted the Rastelli with Senning operation, and 14 cases with LVOTO and remote VSD [ages(6.9±4.8) years, weight(23.0±12.9)kg] accepted the Double root transposition(DRT) with Senning operation. Follow up data were collected by telephone interviews and echo. The median follow-up time were 49 months varied from 20 to 84 months, 46 months varied from 18 to 108 months, 35 months varied from 7 to 84 months and 98 months varied from 72 to 145 months. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 19.0.Results:There were 6 in-hospital deaths and 2 follow-up deaths. The survival probability were(84.0±6.0)% and(84.0±6.0)% at 5 and 10 years after operation. The probability of freedom from re-intervention were(95.0±11.8)% and(89.0±11.8)% at 5 and 10 years after operation. All 6 patients need implant pacemaker for Ⅲ A-V block. Seven patients had moderate or more than moderate tricuspid regurgitation. The left ventricular(systemic ventricle) EF were 0.61±0.09, 0.63±0.08, 0.59±0.01 and 0.65±0.07 in one and a half ventricle repair group, double switch(AS group), Rastelli with Senning(RS group) and DRT with Senning(DS group) patients. There were 1 heart failure in one and a half ventricle repair group, 1 in AS group and 1 in RS group. For 36 pure ccTGA patients, compared with direct double switch patients these patients accepting double switch after pulmonary banding(PAB) had more EF(0.54±0.09 vs. 0.65±0.08, P=0.00). There were significantly less patients need re-operation in one and a half ventricle repair group compared with RS group(0 vs. 13.6%, P=0.03). Conclusion:For ccTGA/LVOTO/cardiac malpositon, the one and a half ventricle repair was ideal strategy with significant less RV-PA conduit stenosis and re-operation. For pure ccTGA patients, second staged double switch after PAB had better long-term heart function. For ccTGA/ LVOTO/ remote VSD patients DRT with Senning was ideal strategy.

Forty-three children with congenital hypothyroidism(CH)underwent 99mTc thyroid scintigraphy, after being followed up by receiving levothyroxine till 2 to 3 years of age. The results showed that thyroid agenesia happened in 37 cases( 86.05% ) while entopic gland in 6 cases (13.95% ). Thyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc is an informative procedure in determining etiology and treatment schedules for children with CH.

Objectives To investigate the incidence of brain injuri in premature infants in ten hospitals of seven large cities in China sponsored by the Subspecialty Group of Neonatology of Pediatric Society, China Medical Association. Methods All premature infants with gestational age less than 37 weeks in ten hospitals were given routine cranial ultrasound within three days of birth, and then repeated every 3-7 days till the discharge from the hospital during January 2005 to August 2006. Results Incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and severe IVH were 10.8% (406/3 768) and 2.4% (92/3 768) with 22.6% (92/406) for grade 1, 54.7% (222/406) for grade 2, 17.2% (70/406) for grade 3 and 5.4% (22/406) for grade 4 in nine hospitals; incidence of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and cystic PVL were 2.3% (112/4 933) and 0.3% (16/4 933) with 85.7% (96/112) for grade 1, 12.5% (14/112) for grade 2, and 1.8% (2/112) for grade 3 including all ten hospitals, respectively. Risk factors associated with increased severity of IVH were vaginal delivery (OR = 1.874, 95% CI = 1.172 - 2.997, P < 0.01), perinatal asphyxia (OR = 1.598, 95% CI = 1.077 - 2.372, P < 0.05), mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.988, 95% CI= 2.448 -6.948, P< 0.01), and amniotic fluid contamination (OR = 2.192, 95% CI = 1.054 - 4.544, P< 0.05). Risk factors that might result in the development of cystic PVL were vaginal delivery (OR = 1.400, 95% CI = 1.186 - 1.652, P < 0.001) and mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.000, 95% CI = 1.015 - 8.864, P < 0.05). Conclusions These data reflect basically the prevalence of brain injuriy in premature infants in major cities of China. However, more than 60% of population lives in the rural area, further multicenter investigation including the rural area is expected to be undertaken in future.

Objective:To study the clinical features and drug resistance profile of neonatal sepsis caused by different species of Klebsiella.Methods:From January 2009 to December 2018, cryopreserved Klebsiella strains from blood culture of neonatal sepsis cases in NICU of our hospital were reactivated. Molecular identification and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed. Clinical features, laboratory tests, drug resistance profile and prognosis of these patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results:A total of 29 strains of Klebsiella were reactivated. Molecular identification assigned 22 cases (75.9%) into Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) group and 7 cases (24.1%) into Klebsiella quasipneumoniae (Kqu) group. Gestational age and birth weight of Kpn group were higher than Kqu group [(33.1±3.2) weeks vs. (30.6±0.9) weeks, (1 847±677) g vs. (1 416±121) g] ( P<0.05). Abdominal distension was more common in Kqu group than Kpn group [42.9% (3/7) vs. 4.5% (1/22), P<0.05]. No significant differences existed in the laboratory tests including white blood cell count, platelet count, hypersensitive C-reactive protein and procalcitonin between the two groups ( P>0.05). Kpn was 100.0% sensitive to Cefazolin-Tazobactam and Amikacinto and less sensitive to Imipenem and Cefperazone-Sulbactam, Meropenem and Ertapenem. Kqu was generally more sensitive than Kpn and the sensitivity of Kqu to Imipenem was 100.0%. No significant differences existed of the prognosis between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Kpn is the main pathogen of neonatal Klebsiella sepsis. Kqu sepsis is more common in neonates with smaller gestational age and lower birth weight. Abdominal distention is common presenting symptom in Kpn sepsis and sensitive antibiotics should be used early.

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a complex cardiac malformation with many anatomic variations and various approaches for surgical repair. DORV is mainly defined as the congenital heart disease with ventriculoarterial connection in which both pulmonary artery and aorta arising primarily (>50%) from the right ventricle, associated with continuity or discontinuity between the aorta and mitral valve. DORV can be subclassified by various ways. Now subclassification is usually performed according to the relationship between the ventricular septal defect (VSD) and the great arteries. Various approaches for surgical repair of DORV ranging from single ventricle palliation to biventricular repair are reported from many centers. However, the high-grade guideline of surgical management of DORV is still absent. Hence, we developed the Chinese expert consensus on DORV as the evidence for surgical strategies.

Two pediatric heart failure patients were treated with pulmonary artery banding(PAB)at Fuwai Hospital,from December 2021 to January 2022.In the first case,an 8-month-old patient presented with left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy(LVNC),left ventricular systolic dysfunction,ventricular septal defect,and atrial septal defect.The second case was a 4-month-old patient with LVNC,left ventricular systolic dysfunction,and coarctation of the aorta.After PAB,the left ventricular function and shape of both patients were significantly improved,without serious surgery-related complications.In these individual cases of pediatric heart failure,pulmonary artery banding exhibited a more satisfactory efficacy and safety compared to pharmacological treatment,especially for those with unsatisfactory medication results.Future clinical data are needed to promote the rational and broader application of this therapeutic option for indicated patients.
