AIM: To study the clinical efficacy and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) for infant with severe pneumonia. METHODS: Seventy patients of infant with severe pneumonia were divided into 2 groups. Patinets (n=50) of the trea- tment group (M 30, F 20; age 6 mo± s 5 mo) were treated with IVIG and conventional drugs, IVIG 400 mg*kg-1*d-1 for 3 d. Patinets (n=20) of the control group (M 12, F 8; age 7 mo±7 mo) were treated with conventional drugs. RESULTS: The duration of fever, tachypnea, high heart rate shortened. The gasp and rales disappeared earlier. The cardiac failure recovered faster than the control group. There was significantly diffference statistically (P<0.05). The level of IgG, IgA raised after treatment. There was significantly difference statistically (P<0.01). The level of CD+3, CD+4, CD+8 after treatment also raised significantly compared with that before treatment (P<0.05). IL-6 and IL-8 after treatment reduced. There was significantly difference statistically (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: IVIG is safe and effective drug in adjuvant treating severe pneumonia of infant, specially RSV pneumonia.

An α-amylase inhibitor (α-AI) was isolated from white kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris. L) by ethanol fractional precipitation, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration column chromatography. It was a homogeneity glycoprotein demonstrated by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration on CL-6B. The glycoprotein contained 88.2% protein and was rich in aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine, threonine and serine. The carbohydrate moiety was consisted of Man, Glc, Gal and Xyl in a mole ratio of 2.42∶1.50∶1.52∶1.00. The glycan and the core protein backbone was connected by O-linkage as determined by β-elimination reaction. The continuous oral administration of the α-AI (150 mg·kg-1·d-1 ) for 7 days can lower fasting blood glucose and 300 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 α-AI for 7 days can improve the sugar tolerance on alloxan-dependent diabetic model rats. The result showed the α-AI obtained from white kidney beans had good hypoglycemic effect on alloxan induced diabetic rats and may have high potential pharmaceutical value as a regulative digestive-starch degradation in patients suffering from diabetes.

Objective:To understand the patients'satisfaction on catastrophic medical insurance of New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme ( NRCMS ) , and provide references for effective management and policy improvement. Methods:According to the principles of representative sampling, a questionnaire survey conducted. 484 patients got compensation for catastrophic insurance in 2013 were surveyed, and information of medical costs was analyzed. Re-sults:The average medical cost accounts for 84. 57% of total household expenditure. Mandatory medical expenditure is still high and economic burden of diseases is heavy. This policy has increased the compensation rate, and the actu-al compensation rate increases 4. 79% in three districts. The average score of patients' attitude toward catastrophic medical insurance is (3.95±1.05) points, 88. 43% of patients continue to participate in medical insurance. Con-clusions and suggestions:Patients' satisfaction on catastrophic medical insurance of NRCMS is high. It is suggested that the existing financing modes should maintain stability in the short term, and the compensatory rate should be im-proved reasonably.

Objective To investigate the effect and feasibility of early enteral nutrition support on postoperative nutrition assessments and clinical outcomes in children patients with congenital heart disease. Methods From October 2013 to October 2014, a number of 100 cases congenital heart disease aged six months to two years old were treated with early enteral nutrition support after operation. According to gender, fifty patients were randomly divided into the intervened group, who were treated with the early enteral nutrition support program. The other fifty patients were divided into control group with no nutrition sup-port. The detailed early enteral nutrition support project were( a) withdraw breathing machine at the same day, giving enteral nutrition 6 hours later after postoperation;( b) patients assist with long-term breathing machine, giving enteral nutrition 12-24 hours later after postoperation. The age, heigth, weight, serum C- reactive protein(CRP), serum retinoic binding protein ( RBP) , serum prealbumin( Pre-ALB) were recorded before operation. Seven days after operation, above indicators were ob-served again. In addition, the first time of excrete, the number of feeding interruption, the time of feeding, the time of ventila-tor, and the related complications were also recorded at hospitalization period. Results No difference of basic information and accompanying complications were observed between control and nutritional intervention group. As to nutritional status, weight-for-age z-score(WAZ) were significant higher in the nutritional intervention group than the control group( -0. 22 ± 1. 16 vs. 0.73 ±1.29, P=0.019) after operation. However length/height-for-age z-score(LAZ/HAZ) and weight-for-length/height z-score( WLZ/WHZ) were similar between control and nutritional intervention group whatever pre-operation and postoperation. Preoperative CRP, RBP, and Pre-ALB were no significant difference between early enteral nutrition and control group. After operation CRP levels in the early enteral nutrition group were significantly lower than that of control group[(45.2 ±16.2)mg/L vs.(67.3±35.5)mg/L,P<0.001],whileRBP[(0.3±0.1)mg/Lvs.(0.2±0.1)mg/L]andPre-ALB[(35.2±12.2)g/Lvs.(25.2±14.2)g/L] weresignificantlyhigherthanthoseofcontrolgroup(Pvaluewere0.031and0.029,respective-ly) . In the early nutritional intervention group and control group, the first time of excrete were remarkable in advance in nutri-tionalinterventiongroupcompredtocontrolgroup[(36±12)hvs.(65±15)h,P=0.008],whilethedifferenceoffeeding interruption times, intensive care unit( ICU) time and mechanical ventilation time in the two groups were not statistically signif-icant(P>0. 05). Conclusion Early nutritional intervention can help gastrointestinal function, enhance nutritional status, lower serum CRP levels and increased serum RBP and Pre-ALB concentrations. It did not add ICU time and ventilation time.

Objective:To investigate the common types, surgical treatment and effects of tracheal stenosis in children.Methods:A total of 23 children with tracheal stenosis in our hospital from December 2017 to August 2020 were retrospectively reviewed, including 14 males and 9 females. The mean age at operation was(8.9±5.8)months(range: 2-3 months) and the mean weight was(6.4±2.3)kg(range: 4.2-10.5 kg). The common types of tracheal stenosis were complete tracheal ring in 9 children, tracheomalacia in 10 and subglottic membranous annular hyperplasia in 4. The type of congenital heart diseases included 10 patients of pulmonary artery sling, 1 of tetralogy of Fallot, 5 of ventricular septal defect, 1 of pulmonary atresia, and 1 of right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery. Slide tracheoplasty was performed in 9 patients, external splint in 8, endotracheal stent in 2 and tracheal dilation in 4. All children were followed up after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of operation with CT and bronchoscopy.Results:There was 1 death in all 23 patients and the mortality was 4.3%, which died of granulation tissue hyperplasia after slide tracheoplasty. Reoperation was performed in 1 patient with endotracheal stent. All patients were followed for 1 to 24 months. Clinical symptoms of tracheal stenosis disappeared and the results of CT and bronchoscopy were satisfied.Conclusion:Slide tracheoplasty is the effective surgical method for complete trachea ring. 3D printing bioresorbable external splint is a promising method for the treatment of tracheomalacia.

Anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery(AAOCA) refers to the abnormal initiation, route, or distribution of coronary arteries, which is generally believed to be caused by abnormal or incomplete development of embryonic coronary arteries, and is a rare congenital cardiovascular malformation. It can exist independently without other congenital heart disease. With the development of medical science and people's understanding of AAOCA, more and more AAOCA has been detected, and its clinical significance has attracted more and more attention. Based on abnormal coronary artery opening, malignant or potential contorts can cause long-term blood flow dynamic change, appear abnormal blood vessel hardening of the arteries, at the same time due to walk in the pulmonary artery and the ascending aorta between two vessels, vulnerable to the extrusion of large blood vessels, which caused a temporary blood flow in coronary artery interruption, can cause acute angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, exercise-induced cardiac syncope. This review focuses on the anatomy, diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery abnormalities arising from aorta.
