AIM: To observe the effects of ketamine on preventing the increase of postoperative morphine requirement induced by fentanyl.METHODS: Sixty women undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy by spinal anaesthesia were assigned to 4 groups consisting of placebo(normal saline,C),fentanyl(3 bolus of 1 ?g/kg,at 15 min intervals,F),ketamine(infusion of 15 ?g?kg-1?min-1 ketamine from the skin incision until 20 min before the end of the surgery,K),ketamine and fentanyl(infusion of 15 ?g?kg-1?min-1 ketamine from the skin incision until 20 min before the end of the surgery plus 3 bolus of 1 ?g/kg fentanyl,at 15-min intervals,FK).The cumulative morphine consumption,pain score,and adverse effects(nausea, vomiting,hallucination,dizziness and itching) were recorded at 1,3,6,12,24,48 h postoperatively.RESULTS: There were no significant differences in age,weight,duration of surgery and the post-operative sensory block time.The cumulative morphine consumption in group F was significantly higher than those in group C at 3,6,12 h postoperatively(P

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and co-infections of pathogens in children with pneumonia in autumn and winter of 2019 in Qingdao.Methods:From August to November in 2019, 77 children with pneumonia in three hospitals in Qingdao were selected as the research subjects. Throat swabs were collected, nucleic acid was extracted, and 20 common respiratory pathogens were detected by single tube multiplex PCR.Results:Among the 77 cases, the incidence of pneumonia in boys (53.2%) was slightly higher than that in girls (46.7%). Children aged 1-2 years accounted for 10.3% of the total cases, children aged 3-6 years accounted for 61%, and children aged 7-13 years accounted for 20.7%. Twenty-nine cases (38.10%) had high white blood cells; 16 cases (20.77%) had high neutrophil count; 30 cases (38.96%) had high lymphocyte count; the pathogen detection rate was 77.92% of cases, among whom Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) was 59.74%, Bocavirus was 10.39%(8/77), adenovirus was 7.79% (6/77), rhinovirus was 3.89% (3/77), parainfluenza virus type 4 was 3.89% (3/77), Bordetella pertussis was 3.89% (3/77), parainfluenza virus type 2 was 2 2.59% (2/77), coronavirus nl63/hku1 was 2.59% (2/77), coronavirus OC43 was 2.59% (2/77), human metapneumovirus was 1.29% (1/77), Parainfluenza virus type 3 was 1.29%(1/77). The 24 cases of virus infection accounted for 31.16% (24/77). The co-infection with two pathogens accounted for 18.18%.Conclusions:Many kinds of pathogens were detected in children with pneumonia in autumn and winter of 2019, in Qingdao. The prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection was the highest. Many common viral infections were found in the cases. A high proportion of co-infection was detected in these pneumonia cases.

Objective:To explore the etiology, clinical diagnosis and treatment strategy of Lesch Nyhan syndrome.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 2 patients with severe dyskinesia, mental retardation and complicated renal calculi who were admitted to the first people's Hospital of Zhengzhou in August 2019. Case 1, male, 9 years old, had multiple urinary calculi for 1 year. The patient came to the local hospital because double multiple kidney stones and bladder stonesa year ago. The patient had been treated with transurethral holmium laser lithotripsy for bladder stones. The results of infrared spectrum showed that the bladder stone was anhydrous uric acid stone. A week ago, color Doppler ultrasound showed multiple kidney stones and bladder stones. The patient was underdeveloped, mentally retarded and had a full-term cesarean section. There was no history of hypoxia, asphyxia and rescue of the patient. He had the following clinical manifestations: In the waking state, he was no language response to any stimulation. The nasolabial fold on the right was shallow and the corner of the mouth was oblique to the left. He lost the large movements such as lifting head, sitting alone, standing. The trunk showed torsion spasticity, limb muscle strength 2-3, limbs showing spastic hypertonia, limb joints stiff, hands showing fist-like, no involuntary movement and muscle fasciculation. The biceps reflex and knee tendon reflex were not elicited, and the pathological reflex was positive. Serum uric acid was 517 μmol/L. The Case 2 came from the same family, male, 6 years old, had the similar symptoms to his elder brother case 1. The family members complained on behalf of the child about intermittent fever for more than 2 years. The imaging examination of case 2 revealed kidney stones. Serum uric acid was 373 μmol/L. Whole Exome Sequencing and Sanger Sequencing were used to find the genetic causes of the two siblings. The NCBI-Homologene database was used to find the homologous sequence of the human HPRT1 gene, and the human HPRT1 gene sequence was compared with other species to analyze the protein conservation. The online website PredictProtein (http: //www.predactprotein) was used to predict the two-dimensional structure of the HPRT1 gene. The reported cases were summarized and same with the treatment plan.Results:A De novo mutation [c.571T>G(p.Tyr191Asp)] was found in the HPRT1 gene of the child, which was inherited from the mother. Lesch Nyhan syndrome can be diagnosed by the results of gene examination combined with clinical manifestations. The amino acid Tyr at the 191 position and the amino acids before and after it were highly conserved. Amino acid 191 was involved in the β-strand of the protein. We treated the patients with the lowest dose of allopurinol and children's conventional dose of potassium sodium bicitrate granules, and low purine diet. After 3 months of treatment, the serum uric acid was decreased, and the urinary calculi did not increase significantly.Conclusions:Combining with the clinical manifestations of children, HPRT1 gene might be the cause of pediatric disease and the two siblings could be diagnosed as Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. For such patients, the lowest dose of allopurinol and children's conventional dose of potassium sodium hydrogen citrate granule combined with diet could be more effective.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between plasma cytokine levels and liver functions in patients with occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene(OMDT). METHODS: A total of 22 OMDT patients were selected as research subjects using judgment sampling method. Blood samples were collected from patients on the 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th, and 5 th week of admission and the day of hospital discharge. The automatic biochemical instrument was used for detecting the index of serum liver function. The levels of cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interferon-γ(IFN-γ), interleukin(IL)-5, IL-6, and IL-10 in plasma were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The Spearman correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between cytokines and liver function in 15 patients with exfoliative dermatitis. RESULTS: The levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), total bilirubin(TBIL), direct bilirubin(DBIL), glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT), and total bile acid(TBA) of OMDT patients on the 1 st week of admission increased(P<0.05), while total protein(TP) and albumin(ALB) decreased(P<0.05) compared with the results at discharge(a stage of recovery). The correlation analysis results of patients with exfoliative dermatitis showed that: the levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-6 were negatively correlated with the levels of TP and ALB respectively(P<0.05), the level of IL-5 was negatively correlated with TBIL(P<0.05), and the level of IL-10 was negatively correlated with ALB(P<0.05) in the 1 st week. The level of IL-6 was positively correlated with ALT(P<0.05) in the 2 nd week. The level of TNF-α was positively correlated with TBIL(P<0.05), the level of IL-10 was positively correlated with AST(P<0.05) in the 3 rd week. The levels of TNF-α and IL-10 were positively correlated with AST and ALT respectively(P<0.05), the level of IFN-γ was positively correlated with AST(P<0.05) in the 4 th week. The levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were positively correlated with ALT and GGT(P<0.05), and the levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ were positively correlated with AST(P<0.05) in the 5 th week. The level of TNF-α was negatively correlated with DBIL(P<0.05) and was positively correlated with TBA(P<0.05) at discharge.CONCLUSION:s Patients with OMDT are frequently accompanied with severe liver function damage at the early stage. The level of plasma cytokines(TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6 and IL-10) might correlate with the severity of liver dysfunction.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of θ short burst rapid pulse stimulation(TBS)in treating schizophrenia by meta-analysis.Methods:Randomized controlled trials(RCTS)on TBS in the treatment of schizophrenia were searched from CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,China Biomedicine,Web of science,PubMed,Embase and Cochrane Library databases to December 2022.The main study indicator was the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale(PANSS).Risk quality assessment of the included literatures was performed by two reviewers and statistical analysis was performed using RevMan5.3.Results:A total of 13 RCTS with 641 patients were included.Meta-anal-ysis showed that TBS targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(DLPFC)with intervention duration longer than 2 weeks decreased the PANSS total scores(WMD=-4.63,95％CI:-5.75--3.51,P＜0.001),positive symptom scores(WMD=-1.13,95％CI:-2.00--0.26,P＜0.05),negative symptom scores(WMD=-2.51,95％CI:-2.77--1.53,P＜0.001)and general psychopathological symptom scores(WMD=-1.20,95％CI:-1.80--0.60,P＜0.001).The adverse reactions of TBS included dizziness,and no serious adverse e-vents were reported.Conclusion:TBS has high safety,and stimulation of left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex targets for more than 2 weeks could effectively improve psychiatric symptoms in patients with schizophrenia.

Objective:To study the genetic profiles and clinical characteristics of neonatal-onset genetic epilepsy.Methods:From July 2016 to May 2021, patients with neonatal-onset genetic epilepsy admitted to our hospital and received second-generation genetic sequencing were enrolled in this study. According to the types of genetic variations, the patients were assigned into ion channel group and non-ion channel group. Clinical characteristics, treatments and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Results:A total of 36 patients with identified genetic variations were enrolled, involving 15 epilepsy-related genes. KCNQ2, SCN2A and STXBP1 were the most common pathogenic genes. 20 cases (55.6%) were in the ion channel group and 16 cases (44.4%) in the non-ion channel group. No significant differences existed in their general status, seizure types, EEG characteristics, treatments and outcomes between the two groups ( P>0.05). Among all 36 cases, the age of onset ranged from 10 min to 24 d after birth and 28 cases (78.8%) developed epilepsy within 1 week after birth. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies were diagnosed in 20 patients. 7 patients were diagnosed with self-limited neonatal epilepsy, 2 were pyridoxine dependence, 2 were Zellweger syndrome and 1 case of self-limited familial neonatal-infantile epilepsy, Turner type mental retardation with epilepsy, PURA syndrome, Rett syndrome and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, each. The patients received antiepileptic drugs including phenobarbital, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, topiramate, valproic acid, benzodiazepines (nizepam/clonazepam /clobazam/midazolam), lacosamide and lamotrigine. 5 patients died after giving up treatment. 31 patients were followed up for 6 to 50 months. 22 cases (71.0%) were controlled at 1- to 35-month-old including 21 cases (56.7%) with developmental delay. 6 cases (19.4%) had ineffective seizure control and 3 cases (9.7%) showed reduced seizures, all with varying degrees of developmental delay. Conclusions:Neonatal-onset epilepsy is correlated with multiple genes. KCNQ2, SCN2A, STXBP1 are the common pathogenic genes with multiple variants of KCNQ2 gene. Most patients have seizures within 1 week after birth. More than half of patients have ion channel related gene variations. Sodium channel blockers have certain effects as treatment.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of recurrence and canceration for premalignant vocal fold lesions after surgery, and to provide a reasonable basis for preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up. Methods:This study retrospective analyzed the relationship between clinicopathological factors and clinical outcome（recurrence, canceration, recurrence-free survival, and canceration-free survival） in 148 patients undergoing surgical treatment in Chongqing General Hospital from 2014 to 2017. Results:The five-year overall recurrence rate was 14.86% and the overall recurrence rate was 8.78%. Univariate analysis showed that smoking index, laryngopharyngeal reflux and lesion range were significantly associated with recurrence（P<0.05）, and smoking index and lesion range were significantly associated with canceration（P<0.05）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking index ≥600 and laryngopharyngeal reflux were independent risk factors for recurrence（P<0.05）, and smoking index ≥600 and lesion range ≥1/2 vocal cord were independent risk factors for canceration（P<0.05）. The mean carcinogenesis interval for the postoperative smoking cessation group was significantly longer（P<0.05）. Conclusion:Excessive smoking, laryngopharyngeal reflux and a wide range of lesions may be related to postoperative recurrence or malignant progression of precancerous lesions in the vocal cord, and further large-scale multi-center prospective randomized controlled studies are needed to clarify the effects of the above factors on recurrence and malignant changes in the future.

Abstract Genetic diagnosis and etiological analysis were performed on a patient with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy at birth. MRI technology was used to examine the brain of the child. G-band karyotype analysis technology was used to analyze the karyotype of the child and her parents. Chromosomal microarray analysis(CMA) was used to analyze the entire genome of the child and her parents for chromosomal copy number variation(CNV) and to identify the small supernumerary marker chromosomes. The results of MRI supported the diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy of the child and found the appearance of Dandy-Walker malformation. Karyotype analysis showed that the mother's karyotype was 46, XX, t(10; 13)(p11. 1; q11)[11]/46, XX[19]. The karyotype of the father was normal. The karyotype of the child was 47, XX, + mar. The CMA results showed that there was no CNVs above 200 kb in the parents. The CMA results of the child showed that the chromosome 10 was repeated in p15. 3 p11. 1, and the fragment size was 38. 39 Mb. In conclusion, this study found a rare small supernumerary marker chromosome(sSMC) on chromosome 10. Its genetic pattern and pathogenicity were analyzed. It is considered that sSMC(10) is the cause of the patient.

OBJECTIVE: To analysis the dynamic change of cytokines in patients with occupational trichloroethylene-induced medicamentosa-like dermatitis(OMDT) at the initial stage of treatment. METHODS: Twenty-two cases of early onset OMDT with no glucocorticoid treatment history were selected as the research subjects by judgment sampling method. Blood samples were collected on the 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th and 5 th weeks after admission and on the day of hospital discharge. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interferon-γ(IFN-γ), interleukin(IL)-5, IL-6 and IL-10 in plasma samples were measured by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: The five cytokines in patients with exfoliative dermatitis showed an increasing trend at the initial stage of treatment. Among them, the levels of TNF-α, IL-5 and IL-10 reached a peak and then dropped rapidly to form a plateau, and the levels of IFN-γ and IL-6 were slightly increased and the duration of increase was shorter than that of other cytokines. The levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-5 and IL-6 in patients with erythema multiforme remained within the detection limits in the detection process. Only a few patients showed a short-term increase, the IL-10 level showed a slight increase at the initial stage and then decreased to the plateau stage. The levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-6 in patients with bullous epidermal necrolysis increased rapidly at the initial detection stage for a short period of time, and then decreased sharply. The level of IL-5 remained at the detection limit, and the IL-10 level showed alternative rising and falling pattern. Part of the dynamic change of cytokines in patients with exfoliative dermatitis and bullous epidermal necrolysis was similar. CONCLUSION: The levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-5, IL-6, and IL-10 in OMDT patients changed with the progression of the disease at the early treatment stage, and the degree of change was related to the type of rash. Among them, the levels of TNF-α and IL-10 showed dynamic changes due to the progression of the disease, which could be considered as effect biomarkers to evaluate the severity and progression of the disease, and provide a reference for the rational treatment of patients.
