Objective To evaluate the narrow-band imaging (NBI) in differential diagnosis of colo-rectal proliferative lesions. Methods Suspected lesions in colon were examined with white light and NBI colonoscopy, respectively. The ensitivity and specificity in diagnosing colorectal inflammatory hyperplasia, adenoma, early cancer and advanced cancer were compared between NBI and conventional colonoscopy with reference to pathology as gold standard. The pit patterns and the surface microvessels of the lesions were also determined and scored with NBI combined with magnifying endoscopy, and were compared with pathological diagnosis. Results (1) A total of 368 lesions were detected in 280 patients with conventional colonoscopy and NBI. The sensitivity and specificity of NBI in differential diagnosis of colorectal lesions were superior to those of conventional colonoscopy. (2) The pit patterns of colorectal inflammatory hyperplasia were mainly type Ⅰ and Ⅱ , while in adenomas were mainly type Ⅱ and Ⅲ (94. 2%). The pit patterns of early cancer were type Ⅲ (18. 8%), Ⅳ (56. 3%) and Ⅴ (25.0%), and those of advanced cancer were mainly type Ⅴ (94. 0%). (3) The average scores of surface microvesseis of colorectal inflammatory hyperplasia, ade-noma, early cancer and advanced cancer were 1.35 ± 0. 72, 3. 86 ±1.07, 6. 52±2. 59 and 11.42 ± 3.59, respectively. Scores over 6. 5 was a strong indicator of malignant lesions. Conclusion NBI is superior to conventional eolonoscopy in differential diagnosis of colorectal lesions. Observing pit patterns and microves-sels of the lesion with combination of NBI and magnifying endoscopy is helpful in diagnosis.

Objective To study the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen(HO)for the delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning(DEACMP)Method One hundred and eleven patients who were diagnozed as the DEACMP from November 2000 to March 2007 in Tangdu Hospital the Fourth Military Medical University were randomly divided into two groups.Thirty-six cases were treated by onventional approach(group A),and 76 cases by HO besides conventional treatment(group B).The efficacy of HO was evaluated after 4courses of treatment. The curative effects were evaluated as(1)cured:clinical symptoms and signs fully disappeared,abnormal electroencephalogram recovered,patients were completely self-help and competent enough for routine work.(2)improved:chnical symptoms and signs partly disappeared,abnormal electroencephalogram partly recovered,patients were partial self-help and incompetent enough for routine work.(3)inefficacy:patient's condition didn't changed.Data were expressed as((x)±s)and analyzed with the chi-quare test and t-test.The statistical significance was established as P＜0.05.Results In group B,62(81.58%)were in good recover,9(11.84%)improved and 5(6.94%)were inefficacy;while in group A:21(58.33%)were in good recover,5(13.89%)were improved and 10(27.78%)were inefficacy.The effciency rate in group B was significantly higher(93.42%)than that(72.22%)in group A(P＜0.05),and the required time for the therapeutic effect noticed time in group B were significantly shorter(P＜0.05)Conclusions HO Can improve the therapeutic effects on DEACMP

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of herbal ion application and penetration therapy applied in the dog days, or in both of the dog days and coldest days for the treatment of recurrent respiratory tract infection (RRTI) in children. Methods This intervention was designed as a multi-center, randomized, single-blind, repeated-measurement design. A total of 240 RRTI children were randomly divided into Sanfu group (N=120, herbal ion application and penetration therapy applied in the dog days) and Fujiu group (N=120, herbal ion application and penetration therapy applied in both of the dog days and coldest days). Each group was treated for one year and then was followed up for one year. Before and after the treatment, we observed the frequency of respiratory tract infection, the period of onset, signs and symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and detected the salivary secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) at different time points. Results (1) The therapeutic effect of Fujiu group was better than that of Sanfu group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). (2) The frequency of respiratory tract infection was reduced, the period of onset was shortened, and TCM signs and symptoms were improved in both groups, and the effect of Fujiu group was superior to that of Sanfu group (P<0.05). (3) Salivary sIgA showed a continuous upward trend in Fujiu group while a mild downward trend in Sanfu group at different time points (P<0.05). Conclusion Herbal ion application and penetration therapy applied in both of the dog days and coldest days shows better effect for the treatment of children RRTI than that applied only in the dog days.

Objective:To analyze the difference of clinical characteristics and outcomes of infants with moderate and severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome(PARDS)diagnosed according to baseline oxygenation index(OI) in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Methods:Second analysis of the data collected from the "Efficacy of pulmonary surfactant (PS) in the treatment of children with moderate and severe ARDS" program.Retrospectively compare of the differences in clinical data such as general condition, underlying diseases, OI, mechanical ventilation, PS administration and outcomes among infants with moderate and severe PARDS divided by baseline OI who admitted to PICUs at 14 participating tertiary hospitals from 2016 to December 2021.Results:Among the 101 cases, 55 cases (54.5%) were moderate and 46 cases (45.5%) were severe PARDS.The proportion of male in the severe group (50.0% vs.72.7%, P=0.019) and the pediatric critical illness score(PCIS)[72 (68, 78) vs.76 (70, 80), P=0.019] were significantly lower than those in the moderate group, while there was no significant difference regarding age, body weight, etiology of PARDS and underlying diseases.The utilization rate of high-frequency ventilator in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the moderate group (34.8% vs.10.9%, P=0.004), but there was no significant difference in PS use, fluid load and pulmonary complications.The 24 h OI improvement (0.26±0.33 vs.0.04±0.34, P=0.001) and the 72 h OI improvement[0.34 (-0.04, 0.62) vs.0.15 (-0.14, 0.42), P=0.029)]in the severe group were significantly better than those in the moderate group, but there was no significant difference regarding mortality, length of hospital stay and intubation duration after diagnosis of PARDS between the two groups. Conclusion:In moderate and severe(divided by baseline OI) PARDS infants with invasive mechanical ventilation, children in severe group have better oxygenation improvement in the early stage after PARDS identified and are more likely to receive high frequency ventilation compared to those in moderate group.Baseline OI can not sensitively distinguish the outcomes and is not an ideal index for PARDS grading of this kind of patient.
