Chinese Journal of Neonatology 2017;32(3):201-204
Objective To study the clinical characteristics of neonatal pertussis.Method From January 2011 to December 2015,clinical data of newborns with pertussis treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed,including the general information,clinical manifestations,laboratory examinations,treatment and prognosis.Result A total of 68 newborns with pertussis were found during the study period,including 1 case in 2011,5 cases in 2012,1 case in 2013,18 cases in 2014 and 43 cases in 2015.The time needed for diagnosis was 7 to 35 days after onset of symptoms,and 80.9% (55/68) in 14 days.The predominant manifestation was paroxysmal cough (68 cases,100%).Other common symptoms included flushing in 45 cases (66.2%) and cyanosis with coughing in 40 cases (58.8%).The uncommon symptoms included whooping cough (20 cases,29.4%),wheezing (10 cases,14.7%),fever (3 cases,4.4%) and apnea with decreased heart rate during cough (2 cases,2.9%).12 patients (17.6%) had elevated peripheral white blood cells or lymphocytes.The clinical manifestations didn't disappear despite erythromycin therapy,and the whooping cough continued for 12 to 42 days during the course of disease.22 cases (32.4%) had complications,including pneumonia in 12 cases,myocardial damage in 10 cases,heart failure in 2 cases,respiratory failure in 1 case,atrial tachycardia in 1 case and lung consolidation in 1 case.Conclusion Neonatal pertussis is not uncommon and has a tendency to increase year by year,and it's challenging for early diagnosis.The patients who have a whooping cough without fever should be considered of pertussis until otherwise ruled out.Leukocyte and lymphocyte count are of little value in the diagnosis of this disease.

To explore the therapeutic efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) for persistent heel pain.A total of 98 patients of persistent heel pain were randomly divided into ESW treatment and control groups (n =49 each).Treatment group had ESW while control group received infrared physical therapy.And their visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were assessed.After one course of treatment, VAS heel pain and function scores were (39.6 ± 6.2) and (25.1 ± 4.6) in ESW group versus (32.3 ± 6.5) and (17.4 ±7.2) in control group.And before treatment, (16.5 ±4.6) and (14.4 ±8.6), (16.1 ±4.7) and (14.6 ± 8.4) respectively.Heel pain significantly decreased with functional improvement (all P < 0.05).After one course, the effective rate was 65% (32/49) in treatment group.And the improvement rate of 31% (15/49) was better than control group [27% (13/49) and 63% (31/49)] (all P < 0.05).ESW treatment of persistent heel pain was more efficacious than physical therapy and it could be applied clinically.

BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament injury accompanied by unstable rotation is a hotspot in sports medicine. Further understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the anterolateral ligament can play a guiding significance for the recovery of knee joint rotational stability.
OBJECTIVE:To systematicaly review current literature on the anterolateral ligament of the knee and to understand the incidence, anatomy, morphology and histology of the anterolateral ligament as wel as mechanism of anterolateral ligament injury.
METHODS: The first author searched the PubMed, Medline, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP databases for articles specificaly addressing the anterolateral ligament. Data extraction related to the incidence, anatomy, morphometry, biomechanics, and histology of the anterolateral ligament and its relation to the “Segond” fracture was performed. The retrieve time ranged from 1878 to 2015. Totaly 362 literatures were retrieved, including 342 articles in English and 20 in Chinese. According to inclusive and exclusive criteria, 42 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The occurrence rate of the anterolateral ligament ranges from 83% to 100%, and this range occurs because of smal discrepancies in the definition of the bony insertions of the anterolateral ligament. The anterolateral ligament originates anterior and distal to the femoral attachment of the lateral colateral ligament. It spans the joint in an oblique fashion and inserts between the fibular head and Gerdy tubercle of the tibia. Exact anatomic and morphometric descriptions vary in the literature, and there are discrepancies regarding the anterolateral ligament attachment to the capsule and lateral meniscus. The anterolaterial ligament is a contributor to the stability of tibial internal rotation, and histologicaly, it exhibits paralel, crimped fibers consistent with a ligamentous microstructure. The footprint of the anterolateral ligament has been shown to be at the exact location of the Segond fracture. The anterolateral ligament is a distinct ligamentous structure at the anterolateral plane of the knee, and it is likely involved in the control of excessive tibial internal rotation that can cause the Segond fracture.

Sarcomas collectively represent over 100 different subtypes of bone and soft tissue tumors.They are not sensitive to chemotherapy,which requires the development of tissue-specific or pathway-specific therapies.As our understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving sarcomas is rapidly advancing,the number of targeted therapies is also increasing.Recently identified novel druggable targets including the MDM2 amplifications in welldifferentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcomas,the fusion NAB2:STAT6 of solitary fibrous tumor,the SDH mutations in gastrointestinal stro mal tumors,the suppression of Mcl1 in synovial sarcomas,CDK4 in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.They will play an important role in the treatment of sarcoma.Here,the author do an overview of these factors.

Retrospective analysis was performed for 68 sacroiliac joint pain patients treated at our hospital from June 2007 to March 2012.And 27 patients received sacroiliac joint ozone injection,and others anti-inflammatory and analgesic solution.Both methods can significantly relieve sacroiliac joint pain (P < 0.05).However there was no inter-group difference (P > 0.05).No difference existed in efficacy [(0.51 ±0.03) vs.(0.34 ±0.06) cm],treatment frequency (1.98 ±0.94) vs.(1.82 ±0.88) or hospitalization duration [(14.6 ± 7.0) vs.(14.9 ± 6.4) days] between two groups (P > 0.05).Thus sacroiliac joint ozone injection can significantly relieve sacroiliac joint pain and its effect is similar to anti-inflammatory analgesic injection.

Objective To investigate the appropriate cross-matching methods for the direct antiglobulin test (DAT)positive patients.Methods The DAT was used to screen the irregular antibodies on the surface of erythrocytes.The microcolumn gel test was used for blood identification.The antiglobulin test and manual polybrene test were used for cross-matching.Re-sults A total of five DAT positive cases were collected in study.The blood groups of each case were detected,including A-DCcEe,O-DCCee,O-DCcee,A-DCCee and A-DCcee.The donor samples with corresponding blood-antigen negative were cho-sen for cross-matching,and the agglutination intensity of each cross-matching tube was weaker than the control.The transfu-sion of washed red blood cells was suggested.Finally,each transfusion was safe and efficient.Conclusion The infusion of the washed red blood cells with corresponding blood-antigen negative could efficiently ensure the safety of blood transfusion.

Objective To establish a multiplex real-time PCR mothed for rapid detection of seven species of intracranial bacteria after surgery. Methods Firstly ,the Gram′s identification was deter mined. Secondly , according to the results of Gram identification ,the bacterium was typed by the specific primers and probes to deter mine the distribution of bacteria. Simul taneously ,the sensitivity and specificity of this method were verified by making intracranial infected sim ulated samples and contrasting national standard method. Results The method established could complete detention within 4 hours with a good specificity. Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus pneumoniae ,Escherichia coli ,Pseudomonas aeruginosa pseudomonas ,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii could be detected at concentrations of ≥102 CFU/mL. Enterococcus faecalis could be detected at concen-trations of≥103 CFU/mL. The lowest detection limita of this method is higher than culture method for Streptococcus pneumoniae. Conclusions Real-time Multiplex PCR method was with high sensitivity and specificity. It reduced the detection time greatly and has great value in early diagnosis of bacteria in intracranial infection. It should be of great significance for guiding clinical treatment.
