Changes in respiratory function before and after CPB in 40 children with state of left-to-right shunt of VSD were studied. Among the cases, 20 of them were with pulmonary hypertension (PH group ) and 20 without PH (control group). Before CPB, resist ante of inspira tion (RI) and resistance of expiration (RE)in PH group (23.87?7.53,42.98?12.1) were significantly higher than those of control group(RI 17.95?7.53,RE 34.95?5.13);compliance of lung-thorax(CLT) in PH group(11.58?4.87) was significantly lower than that of control group(14.32?1.99). After CPB. both RI (30.94?11.89) and RE(46.43?9.9) in PH group were greatly higher than those in control group (28.00?9.29,46.43?9.9);CLT (10.98?4.6) was lower than that of control group (12.3?2.68). In PH group,the PaO_2 decreased and the magnitude of A-aDO2 increased much more than those in control group. The results suggest that respiratory function in the children with PH might not be improved immediately after CPB separation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between diabetes and brainstem infarction. Methods The diagnozed patients with acute cerebral infarction were recruited in the study. Firstly, they were divided into brainstem infarction group and non-brainstem infarction group, and then they were redivided into brainstem infarction with diabetes, brainstem infarction without diabetes, non-brainstem infarction with diabetes and non-brainstem infarction without diabetes groups according to whether they had diabetes or not. Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and carotid atherosclerosis were detected and identified with Doppler ultrasound; brain stem infarction and its location were identified with diffusion-weighted imaging; basilar artery atherosclerosis was detected with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the different risk factors impacting brainstem infarction. Neurological deficit was evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS)scores. Results A total of 286 patients with acute cerebral infarction were recruited: brain stem infarction in 63, and 34 of them with diabetes; non-brain stem infarction in 223, and 77 of them with diabetes. The proportions of diabetes (54. 0％ vs. 34. 5%, x2 = 7. 816, P = 0. 005),previous cerebral infarction (38. 1％ vs. 24. 2％ ,x2 =4. 771, P =0. 029), basilar artery atherosclerosis (73.0％ vs. 57. 4％,x2 =5. 028, P =0. 025), as wall as the levels of hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) (7. 30 ± 2. 42％ vs. 6. 46 ± 1.82％, t = - 2. 531, P = 0. 011 ) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) (0. 97 ± 0. 33 mmol/L vs. 0. 90 ± 0. 34 mmol/L, t =-2. 180, P = 0. 029) in the brainstem infarction group were significantly higher than those in the non-brainstem infarction group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes (odds ratio [ OR] 2. 150, 95％confidence interval [ CI] 1. 214-3. 808; P =0. 009) and previous cerebral infarction (OR 1. 835, 95％ CI 1.004-3. 352, P = 0. 048) were the independent risk factors for brainstem infarction. There were significant differences in the levels of HbA1c (P ＜ 0. 001 ), fasting blood glucose (FBG) (P ＜0. 001), ApoB (P =0. 007) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P =0. 018) as well as the proportion of basilar artery atherosclerosis (P = 0. 001 ) among the brainstem infarction with diabetes, without diabetes, non-brainstem infarction with diabetes and without diabetes groups. The levels of HbA1c (8. 81 ±2. 36％), FBG (8. 23 ±3. 12 mmol/L andApoB (1.04 ± 0. 41 mmol/L) as well as the proportion of basilar artery atherosclerosis (85. 3％ )were the highest in the brainstem infarction with diabetes group. Conclusions Diabetes is closely associated with brainstem infarction. Diabetes is more likely to result in pontine infarction.

Objective To analyze the relationship between diabetics and the onset, clinical outcomes and prognosis of brainstem infarction, and to evaluate the impact of diabetes on brainstem infarction. Method Compare 172 cases of acute brainstem infarction in patients with or without diabetes.Analyze the associated risk factors of patients with brain-stem infarction in diabetics by multi-variate logistic regression analysis. Compare the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Modified Rankin scale (mRS) Score, pathogenetic condition and the outcome of the two groups in different times. Results The systolic blood pressure ( SBP ), TG, LDL-C, apolipoprotein B ( Apo B ), glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT), fibrinogen(Fb), fasting blood glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin( HbA1c)in diabetic group were higher than those in non-diabetic group , which was statistically significant ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). From multi-variate logistic regression analysis, γ-GT, Apo B and FPG were the risk predictors of diabetes with brainstem infarction( OR = 1. 017, 4. 667 and 3. 173, respectively), while HDL-C was protective( OR =0. 288). HbA1c was a risk predictor of severity for acute brainstem infarction( OR = 1. 299), while Apo A was beneficial( OR =0. 212). Compared with brain-stem infarction in non-diabetic group, NIHSS score and intensive care therapy of diabetic groups on the admission had no statistically significance, while the NIHSS score on discharge and the outcome at 6 months' of follow-up were statistically significant. Conclusions Diabetes is closely associated with brainstem infarction. Brainstem infarction with diabetes cause more rapid progression, poorer prognosis, higher rates of mortality as well as disability and higher recurrence rate of cerebral infarction.

Objectives To study the clinical effects of percutaneous kyphoplasty on senile osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures.Methods The 87 elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures were randomly grouped into control group (n=42) treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty and observation group (n=45) treated with percutaneous kyphoplasty in our hospital from June 2013-March 2016.And the clinical curative effect before and after treatment was compared and analyzed.Results The visual analog scale (VAS) pain score in observation group versus control group was (8.49±2.86) vs.(8.56±2.98),(t=0.11,P>0.05) before treatment,and[(2.58±1.34) vs.(3.34±2.01),t=2.09,P< 0.05],[(2.06±0.97) vs (3.87±1.96),t=5.51,P<0.05]and[(1.09±0.89) vs (2.37±1.29)],t=5.42,P<0.05]at 1 week,4 weeks,and 12 weeks after treatment respectively,showing statistically significant improvement after treatment.The data of kyphosis angle by using Cobb angle,Oswestry lumbar dysfunction index (ODI),mean time of postoperative ambulation,and mean postoperative hospital stay were similar to that of the visual analog scale (VAS) pain score,showing statistically significant improvement after treatment (all P<0.05).The incidence[cases (%)]of bone cement leakage was lower in observation group[3(6.7)]than in control[9(21.4)](χ2=3.98,P<0.05).Conclusions Clinical treatment effects of percutaneous kyphoplasty on the elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures are superior to that of percutaneous vertebroplasty.Percutaneous kyphoplasty can effectively relieve pain,and improve body function disorders and the quality of life.

Objective:To validate whether there is self-schema of self-supporting and to look into the difference in amount of recall,amount of recognition and reaction time between children with high score of self-sporting and those with low score.Methods:Levels of self-supporting of 300 sixth grade students from a primary school in Hunan were assessed by using a Self-supporting Behavior Questionnaire for Six to Twelve Years'Old Children,and the subjects were grouped into two groups,of which the high-score group includes the top 35 from the questionnaire result,and the low-group includes the lowest 35.Then the SRET task was assigned to the two groups and a contrastive study of their self-schema was carried out.Results:The amount of recognition of self-supporting words by the two groups is larger than that of non-self-supporting words;The reaction time of the self-supporting group is longer than that of the other group;there is no significant difference in the amount of correct recognition.Conclusion:High self-supporting group showed self schema of self-supporting,and low self-supporting group showed not only self schema of non-self-supporting but also that of self-supporting,which implies that self-supporting is not a dichotomy concept of self.

Objective To investigate the effect of splenectomy on infarct volume in middle cerebral artery occlusion in focal cerebral ischemia rats and its possible mechanisms.Methods Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into spleneetomy,sham splenectomy,and control groups (n =6 in each group).A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was induced by the intraluminal suture method 2 weeks after spleneetomy.The rats were decapitated and their brains were removed after 24 hours.The infarct volume was measured with Nissl body staining The number of macrophages in ischemic cortex was detected with immunofluorescence staining Results The infarct volume in the splenectomy group (34.93％ + 3.23％ )was significantly smaller than that in the sham splenectomy group (74.33％ + 2.36％ ; q =39.399,P ＜ 0.001 ) and the control group (77.30％ + 2.62％ ; q =42.369,P ＜ 0.001 ).However,there was no significant difference between the sham splenectomy group and the control group (q =2.970,P =0.082).The number of macrophages of the ischemic cortex in the splenectomy group (3.4 ± 1.07/per high power field) was significantly less than that in the sham splenectomy group (20.7±4.37/per high power field; q =17.300,P＜0.001) and the control group (18.87 ±4.17/per high power field; q =15.467,P ＜0.001).However,there was no significant difference between the sham splenectomy group and the control goup (q =1.833,P =0.384).Conclusions Splenectomy may reduce the infarct volume by reducing the number of macrophages in ischemic corticalregion.

Objective To investigate the virus-carrying rate of non-polio enteroviruses ( NPEV) in patients with acute flaccid paralysis ( AFP) in Yunnan province of China in 2015 and to analyze the genetic characteristics of enterovirus 71 (EV71) strains. Methods A total of 213 cases under 15 years old with AFP were reported by Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC) of Yunnan Province of China. Virus isolation was conducted for all samples and the serotypes of isolated NPEV strains were identified by VP1 se-quencing. The isolation rates of NPEV in the past consecutive 5 years were analyzed by SPSS22. 0 software. Phylogenetic trees of NPEV and EV71 strains were constructed by MEGA6. 06 software based on neighbor-joining algorithm and Kimura 2-parameter substitution model and the reliability of the phylogenetic trees was determined by bootstrap analysis with 100 pseudo replicate datasets. Results Altogether, 23 NPEV strains were isolated from 213 AFP cases. Among the 23 strains, 7 strains belonged to EV-A group (2 serotypes, 6 strains of which were EV71 ) , 14 strains belonged to EV-B group ( 8 serotypes ) and the other 2 strains belonged to EV-C group. No NPEV strains of EV-D group were identified. Statistical analysis showed that no significant differences in the isolation rates were observed in the past 5 years ( P=0. 101 ) . Conclusion The isolation rate of NPEV in patients with AFP in Yunnan province in 2015 was similar to that of the previ-ous years. The EV71 strains of C4 subgenotype were the predominant strains circulating in Yunnan province.

Objective To investigate the enterovirus ( EV)-carrying status and the circulating se-rotypes in healthy children from inner and border areas of Yunnan Province in 2014 and 2015 and to analyze the genetic characteristics of echovirus 6 (ECHO6), ECHO25 and ECHO11 strains. Methods Stool sam-ples were collected from children less than 15 years old living in 6 to 7 counties of 3 inner prefectures/cities and 8 to 9 counties of border prefectures/cities. Altogether 921 samples were collected including 453 sam-ples in 2014 (213 samples in inner counties and 240 samples in border counties) and 468 samples in 2015 (195 samples in inner counties and 273 samples in border counties). Viruses were isolated from the stool samples and their serotypes were identified by gene sequencing. Results The numbers of EV strains isola-ted from the samples collected in inner counties and border counties in 2014 were 20 ( isolating rate:9.39%, 20/213) and 16 (isolating rate: 6. 67%, 16/240), respectively. The overall isolating rate for 2014 was 7. 95% (36/453). The predominant species was enterovirus B, accounting for 88. 89% of all iso-lated strains (32/36), followed by enterovirus A species (11. 11%, 4/36). No strains of enterovirus spe-cies C (including poliovirus) and D was detected in 2014. In total, 46 EV strains were isolated in 2015 with an overall isolating rate of 9. 83% (46/468), including 13 strains in inner counties (isolating rate:6. 67%, 13/195) and 33 strains in border counties (isolating rate:12. 09%, 33/273). Most of the strains were enterovirus B species, accounting for 78. 26% (36/46), followed by enterovirus C species (19. 57%, 9/46) and enterovirus A species (2. 17%, 1/46). Altogether 82 EV strains were isolated in 2014 and 2015 with an isolating rate of 8. 90% (82/921), of which 33 strains were isolated in inner counties (8. 09%, 33/408) and 49 strains were isolated in border counties (9. 55%, 49/513). Among the 82 EV strains, 9 strains were polioviruses (0. 98%, 9/921) and all of them were Sabin-like polioviruses. The rest of the strains were non-polio enterovirus (7. 93%, 73/921). Conclusion In 2014, the EV isolating rate in inner counties (9. 39%) was higher than that in border counties (6. 67%). However, the EV isolating rate in border counties (12. 09%) was higher than that in inner counties (6. 67%) in 2015. Enterovirus B was the predominant species in both 2014 and 2015. No wild type polioviruses and enterovirus D species were detec-ted. Polio-free status was maintained well in Yunnan Province.

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics and risk factors of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis ischemic stroke. Methods We retrospectively collected 342 consecutive patients with first-ever ischemic stroke. Clinical data was collected including demographics, the presence of risk factors,MRI with MRA and other routine admis?sion laboratory tests. Results Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) was located most frequently in MCA (47.0%), Extracranial internal carotid artery was the most common affected artery (65.0%) among extracranial atherosclerotic steno? sis (ECAS). MetS (OR=1.586,95%CI:1.232~2.268), ApoB/ApoA1 ratio (OR=1.926,95%CI:1.051~4.288), were as?sociated with ICAS (vs ECAS), whereas hypertension (OR=3.603,95%CI:1.675~12.485), MetS (OR=2.268,95%CI:1.274~6.103), HbA1c (OR=2.015,95%CI:1.182~5.613) and ApoB/ ApoA I ratio (OR=1.948,95%CI:1.157~4.285) were related to ICAS (vs NCAS). Hypertension (OR=2.437,95%CI:1.492~3.505,P=0.005), Hcy (OR=2.437,95%CI:1.492~3.505,P=0.005) and HbA1c (OR=1.769,95%CI:1.034~3.121, P=0.005) were the independent risk factors re?lated to posterior circulation strokes (vs anterior circulation strokes ) in ICAS strokes. Conclusions The occurrence of ICAS may be more frequent than that of ECAS in ischemic stroke. Posterior circulation ICAS strokes seems to be close?ly associated with metabolic derangement.

ObjectiveTo study echovirus 11 ( ECHO11 ) sequences genetic variability of the VP1 gene of 82 isolates from 15 countries and 2 provinces in China.MethodsThe VP1 sequences of 82 strains of echovirus 11 were downloaded from the GenBank,and their nucleotide and amino acid diversity were calculated and phylogenetic tree was constructed using Mega software.Results82 echovirus 11 strains were divided into 4 genotypes( A-D),Genotype A is further divided into 7 subgenotyps and genotype D into 7 subgenotyps.The prototype strain Gregory is the sole member of genotype B.Genotype C is divided into 3 genotypes.The sequence diversity between echovirus 11 strains is 21.7%-24.1% (AA diversity:6.0%-12.1% ).ConclusionOur results show that most genotypes contain isolates that have circulated over a wide geographical(several countries from different continents) and temporal range.Several genotypes were also shown to co-circulate in a region during the same period of time,showing that the epidemic of echovirus 11 has typical time and geographical characters.
