Objective To explore the epidemic conditions of rheumatic fever (RF) with a simple method at some regions.Methods Antistreptococcal DNase B test microtiter method was adopted to detect human sera antibody in natural populations who are responsible to RF.All 216 schoolchildren aged 10～12 years old were chose by the random cluster sampling.The schoolchildren′s serum antibody against DNase B in each season from september 1988 to August 1989 was detected,and compared with antistreptolysin “O” (ASO);furthermore,5 different regional schoolchildren′s serum antibody to DNase B was tested, and 100 schoolchildren aged 10～13 years old were chose in every region.Meanwhile,the RF incidence of 5～18 year schoolchildren was investigated for 4 years,and approximately 364 915 person times were inquired.All the results of the anti DNase B and ASO were compared with the schoolchildren′s RF incidence.Results ① The levels of the anti DNase B were higher during fall,winter and spring seasons,and lower in summer,which were coincided with the RF incidence,and linear relation was very good ( r =0 913, P

Objective To analyze the epidemiologic data of patients withClostridium botulinum food poisoning, and to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of food borne botulism.Methods A retrospective study was conducted. Fifty-three patients withClostridium botulinum food poisoning admitted to Chinese PLA Center of Poisoning and Treatment from January 2009 to December 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into mild, moderate, and severe groups according to the severity of disease. The clinical data including medical history, epidemiology data, routine blood test and blood biochemistry at hospital admission, the vital signs and arterial blood gas analysis before and after treatment, as well as the occurrence frequency of symptom and sign on set were collected.Results Fifty-three patients with food borne botulism were enrolled, with 33 patients in mild group, 13 in moderate group, and 7 in severe group. Most of the patients were female, the age distribution was in large span, the outbreak of disease was in groups mainly with the family, and patients were mainly located in Hebei Province, Beijing and Henan Province. The outbreaks were mainly happened in Spring and Summer, and homemade fermentation products were still the first cause of poisoning with the average latent period of (51.01±4.78) hours. The majority of patients with botulism were in mild resulted from the type A toxin. With the aggravation of disease, hospitalization time was gradually increased, white blood cell (WBC) and neutrophils (NEUT) at hospitalization admission, and respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) before the treatment were shown in obviously rising trend, albumin (ALB) at hospitalization admission and pH, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) before treatment were in decline. The parameters in severe group were most severe, and had significant differences as compared with those of mild group [hospitalization time (days): 72.57±39.52 vs. 6.61±3.72, WBC (×109/L): 13.01±6.44 vs. 6.85±2.07, NEUT: 0.85±0.07 vs.0.63±0.14, RR (bpm): 32.14±4.33 vs. 15.18±1.70, HR (bpm): 132.29±5.19 vs. 75.54±8.24, FiO2: 0.32±0.05 vs. 0.21±0.00, ALB (g/L): 38.57±4.65 vs. 42.09±4.57, pH: 7.08±0.10 vs. 7.38±0.07, PaO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 75.16±5.24 vs. 98.39±1.50, SaO2: 0.78±0.06 vs. 0.97±0.02, allP < 0.05]. The symptom and sign on set of 53 patients with food borne botulism was dizziness, followed by fatigue, blurred vision, nausea, and other symptoms and signs were lower than 50%, and the occurrence of dizziness with rank one happen rate was significantly higher than blurred vision and nausea (χ2 values were 7.209 and 10.502 respectively, andP values were 0.007 and 0.004 respectively). After the on time prescription of botulinum antitoxins treatment, the clinical symptoms of patients could be relived quickly. All the patients were discharged without deaths.Conclusion In order to improve the recovery of the food borne botulism poisoning patients, adequate antitoxin and the related organ supports should be prescribed on time.

Objective To evaluate the effects of 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy(3DCRT) in form of local control and survival of rectal cancer patients.

They first received 40 Gy with larger field, at 1.8-2.0 Gy/f, 1 fraction qd, then followed by a boost of 24-27 Gy with reduced field, at 3.0-4.0 Gy/f, 1 fraction qod, to a total dose of 0,64-67 Gy. Results The 1-,2-,3-year survival rates were 83.3% ,64.3% and 45.2% .The 1-,2-,3-year local recurrence rates were 2.4%,11.9% and 23.9%. Conclusion Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy is able to prolong the survival and improve the life quality of patients with rectal cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the D8/17 antigen expression of patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in Guangdong province and study the antigen's characteristics.Methods The level of D8/17 antigen expression on B lymphocytes was determined with flow cytometry assay in 96 RHD patients and 83 unaffected controls.The percentage of B-cells expressing the D8/17 antigen having more than 10％ was considered to be positive. D8/17 antigen was extracted by immunopreeipitation,and the antigen characteristics was analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. Results The mean percentage of B-cells expressing the D8/17 antigen was (85.36 ± 15.15)％ in the RHD patients and (82.89 ±4.55)％ in the controls,with no significant difference between the two groups ( P =0.436).Moreover,the positive rate of the D8/17 cxprcssion was 100％ in either the RHD patients or the controls.The molecular weight of D8/17 antigen was found to be 40 000-67 000,and the purified protein was most likely to match moesin or β-actin.ConclusionsB-cell antigen D8/17 is not associated with RHD in Guangdong province of China.Moesin or β-actin is the most likely protein to match D8/17 antigen.

Objective:To explore the application effect and feedback of online pediatrics teaching for the clerkship and internship stage of medical students of clinical medicine eight-year program.Methods:In this study, 38 clerkship medical students and 12 internship medical students of clinical medicine eight-year program in pediatrics department of Peking University First Hospital from February to March, 2020 were selected as research objects. They had two weeks of online teaching, including online flipped classroom, case-based learning (CBL), and problem-based learning (PBL). The effect of online teaching, and the feedback from these students were all investigated through the questionnaire survey.Results:All students were satisfied with the overall arrangement of the online teaching and believed that the results exceed [42% (21/50)] or meet [58% (29/50)] their expectations. According to the feedback, network congestion [82% (41/50)] was the biggest problem in online teaching, followed by the inability of effective interaction [20% (10/50)]. Students all believed that the online teaching arrangement was most helpful for the cultivation of theoretical knowledge (Total scores 4.58±0.50), autonomous learning ability (Total scores 4.42±0.58) and clinical reasoning (Total scores 4.42±0.58), but had minimal impact on the skills operation (Total scores 2.68±0.87) and scientific research ability (Total 2.98±0.98). For the ability of communication between doctors and patients, the scores of clerkship students (3.79±0.99) were significantly higher than those of internship students (3.08±0.67), ( P<0.05). Clerkship students considered that online flipped classroom was the most helpful teaching mode, while internship students believed online CBL teaching was the most helpful one. Majority of the students (94%) think it's necessary to keep online teaching in the future. Conclusion:Online teaching of pediatrics is approved by the medical students of clinical medicine eight-year program in the stage of clerkship and internship, and plays an important role in the cultivation of the ability of medical students, but it can't completely replace offline clinical practice.

As a powerful reserve force for primary care institutions, general practitioners (GPs) undergoing standardized training will be essential to solve the pediatric problems of first visit to primary medical institutions and coordinated care delivery system in the future, which puts forward new require-ments for the training of post competencies of GPs.However,the training and evaluating systems for GPs in Pediatric Department still need further exploration. This article tried to summarize the two-month rotating arrangement and its advantages for GPs in Pediatric Department of a general hospital.Based on the forgotten theoretical knowledge,superficial understanding of the diseases and individual teachers' poor teaching moti-vation, this article suggested reinforcing the theoretical basis of GPs through exploring multiple learning channels and increasing self-learning enthusiasm,strengthening the training and rewarding system of teachers to promote the specialist-GPs teaching, as well as promoting the set-up of Department of General Practice and taking the advantage of key disciplines in teaching hospitals to develop characteristic teaching model of general practice.

Objective To analyze the clinical manifestation and therapeutic method in patients with acute mushroom poisoning. Methods A retrospective study was conducted. The clinical data of 48 patients with acute mushroom poisoning admitted to Department of Poisoning Treatment of the 307th Hospital of PLA from January 2016 to May 2017 were analyzed. The clinical data including gender, age, clinical symptoms, onset season, initial symptoms, incubation time, the length of hospital stay, treatment, and prognosis. In addition to the conventional treatment, the patients with severe liver damage were treated with continuous blood purification (CBP). The changes in routine blood test, biochemical parameters, blood ammonia and coagulation function before and 1, 3 and 7 days after CBP were observed. Results There were 29 of male (60.4%) and 19 of female (39.6%) in 48 patients with acute mushroom poisoning, with an average age of (48.10±13.14) years. There were 9 patients suffering from gastroenteritis type, 26 suffering from liver damage type, 8 suffering from neuro-psychosis type, 2 suffering from hemolytic type, and 3 suffering from renal damage type. All of the poisoned patients had evident seasonal characteristic, mainly concentrated in the autumn, especially in August, according for 66.7% (32/48). The initial symptoms of poisoning patients were mainly manifested as nausea and vomiting (50.0%). In five kinds of poisoned patients, the incubation time [(1.44±1.15) hours] and the length of hospital stay [(3.50±2.33) days] of neuro-psychosis type was the shortest, and the incubation time of liver-damaged type [(10.63±3.50) hours] and the length of hospital stay of renal damage type [(20.67±0.58) days] was the longest. Patients received symptomatic treatment according to different types, among whom 12 patients with severe liver damage received additional treatment for CBP. After the treatment, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and prothrombin activity (PTA) were significantly improved as compared with those before CBP treatment, with significant differences between 7 days after CBP and before CBP [ALT (U/L): 213.08±127.30 vs. 2 766.83±1 909.66, AST (U/L): 50.00 (41.00, 85.00) vs. 2 142.00 (1 225.00, 3 126.00), CK-MB (U/L): 24.09±8.87 vs. 44.75±22.09, LDH (μmol·s-1·L-1):3.70±1.46 vs. 13.03±12.77, PTA: (79.08±24.29)% vs. (35.25±19.85)%, all P < 0.01]. Among 48 patients, 47 were cured and discharged, and 1 patient with liver failure died due to aggravation of liver dysfunction, abnormal coagulation and bleeding, and massive hemorrhage of gastrointestinal tract. Conclusions Acute mushroom poisoning patients demonstrated obvious seasonal characteristics, mostly liver-damaged type, and its initial symptoms were mainly presented as nausea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal manifestations. Early clarification of diagnosis, timely treatment, as well as providence with CBP treatment in severe patients should be carried out as soon as possible. In such a way the curative effect can be enhanced, the mortality can be reduced, and the prognosis of the patients could be improved.

Objective:To analyze and summarize the basic characteristics and clinical features of botulism patients caused by cosmetic injection of botulinum toxin.Methods:Retrospective investigation and analysis method were used to analyze the data of botulism patients caused by cosmetic injection of botulinum toxin admitted to the Poisoning Treatment Center of the PLA from March 2016 to June 2019.Results:Total of 380 cases were included in this study, including 114 hospitalized cases and 266 emergency cases. The majority patients (97.4%) were female, and most of them (39.5%) were among 30-39 years old. Most of the cases occurred in beauty salons or beauty studios, and most of the botulinum toxin injected was fake and inferior products. Onset latency were mainly distributed in 3 to 6 days. Common clinical symptoms included dizziness, blurred vision, eyes open weakness, dysphagia, chest tightness of breath, fatigue, diplopia, nausea, bilateral eyelid drooping, and dysarthria. The "4D" sign of cranial nerve injury occurred less frequently, mainly with mild and moderate poisoning; The occurrence rates of dysarthria, dysphagia, eyes open weakness, blurred vision, choking in drinking water, chewing weakness, bilateral eyelid drooping, decreased limb muscle strength, and chest tightness of breath in the hospitalized case were significantly higher than those in the emergency cases (all P < 0.05). Three hundred and nine patients received botulinum antitoxin therapy. The dose of botulinum antitoxin was 20 000 (20 000-30 000) U, with a total treatment duration of 4 (3-7) days in the emergence cases, and 30 000 (30 000-50 000) U with a total treatment time of 8 (5-11) days in the hospitalized cases, and there were significant differences between the two groups ( P < 0.05). All cases were followed up with good prognosis. Conclusions:Cosmetic injection of botulinum toxin has certain risk. If symptoms of poisoning occur such as dizziness, blurred vision, eyes open weakness and dysphagia, patients should be treated promptly, and early treatment with botulinum antitoxin can improve the prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of prussian blue (PB) or its combination with hemoperfusion (HP) in the treatment of acute thallium poisoning. Methods: Forty-seven patients with acute thallium poisoning with complete data hospitalized in the 307th Hospital of PLA from September 2002 to December 2017 were enrolled, and they were divided into mild poisoning group (blood thallium < 150 μg/L, urinary thallium < 1 000 μg/L) and moderate-severe poisoning group (blood thallium ≥ 150 μg/L, urinary thallium ≥ 1 000 μg/L) according to the toxic degrees. All patients were given symptomatic supportive treatments such as potassium supplementation, catharsis, vital organ protections, neurotrophic drugs, and circulation support. The mild poisoning patients were given PB with an oral dose of 250 mg·kg^-1·d^-1, while moderate-severe poisoning patients were given PB combined HP continued 2-4 hours each time. The PB dose or frequency of HP application was adjusted according to the monitoring results of blood and urine thallium. Data of gender, age, pain grading (numeric rating scale NRS), clinical manifestations, blood and urine thallium before and after treatment, length of hospitalization and prognosis were collected. Results: Of the 47 patients, patients with incomplete blood and urine test results, and used non-single HP treatment such as plasmapheresis and hemodialysis for treatment were excluded, and a total of 29 patients were enrolled in the analysis. ①Among 29 patients, there were 20 males and 9 females, median age of 40.0 (34.0, 49.0) years old; the main clinical manifestations were nervous system and alopecia, some patients had digestive system symptoms. There were 13 patients (44.8%) in the mild poisoning group with painless (grade 0) or mild pain (grade 1-3) with mild clinical symptoms, the length of hospitalization was 17.0 (14.2, 21.5) days. There were 16 patients (55.2%) in the moderate-severe poisoning group with moderate pain (grade 4-6) or severe pain (grade 7-10) with severe clinical symptoms, the length of hospitalization was 24.0 (18.0, 29.0) days. ② After treatment, the thallium concentrations in blood and urine in the mild poisoning group were significantly lower than those before treatment [μg/L: blood thallium was 0.80 (0, 8.83) vs. 60.00 (40.00, 120.00), urine thallium was 11.30 (0, 70.10) vs. 370.00 (168.30, 610.00), both P < 0.01], the thallium concentrations in blood and urine in the moderate-severe poisoning group were also significantly lower than those before treatment [μg/L: blood thallium was 6.95 (0, 50.50) vs. 614.50 (245.00, 922.00), urinary thallium was 20.70 (1.95, 283.00) vs. 5 434.00 (4 077.20, 10 273.00), both P < 0.01]. None of the 29 patients died, and their clinical symptoms were improved significantly. All the 27 patients had good prognosis without sequela in half a year follow-up, and 2 patients with severe acute thallium poisoning suffered from nervous system injury. Conclusion In the acute thallium poisoning patients, on the basis of general treatment, additional PB in mild poisoning group and PB combined with HP in moderate-severe poisoning group can obtain satisfactory curative effects.
