Objective: To investigate the effect of combined acupuncture and rehabilitation on intelligence and motor development of high risk infants with perinatal brain injuries. Methods: Ninety-seven survived cases in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were allocated into a treatment group of 53 cases and a control group of 44 cases following the consent of the parents. Cases in the treatment group were treated by combined acupuncture and rehabilitation; whereas cases in the control group were treated by conventional child care methods. Systemic follow-up has been made for 2 years. Then the infants' intelligence was evaluated respectively in the 6th, 12th and 34th months. Results: Compared with the control group, the mental development indexes (MDI) and physical development indexes (PDI) in the treatment group were increased by 14.96 and 9.82 respectively. There was a significant difference (X2=8.1659, P<0.01) in the abnormal intelligence rates between the treatment group (15.1%) and the control group (40.9%,). Conclusion: Combined acupuncture and rehabilitation can effectively improve the mental and physical development of high-risk infants with perinatal brain injuries. Additionally, this therapy can decrease the disability rates and increase the infants' quality of life.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of domestic Oseltamivir granules in the treatment of influenza A in children.Methods The research subjects were the hospitalized patients with influenza A coming from the Department of Infectious Disease in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center.from January and March,2014 They were divided into 2 groups randomly.Patients in the treatment group received domestic Oseltamivir granules,while the patients in the control group received foreign Oseltamivir.Chi square test was performed to compare baseline characteristics and the difference in side effects.Paired t test was used to compare baseline characteristics and the difference in side effects.Results There were 44 cases in the study group,27 cases were male(61.36％),17 cases were female (38.64％),and the average age was (2.40 ± 1.97) years old.There were 40 cases in the control group,28 cases were male (70.00％),12 cases were female (30.00％),and the average age was (2.99-± 3.19) years old.The maximum age was 6 years old.The age and gender were not significant (P ＞ 0.05) between 2 groups.The fever remission time was (14.67-± 9.37) h and (11.80-± 9.98) h in the treatment group and the control group,and there was no significant difference between 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05);the flu symptoms completely remission time was (62.50 ± 25.03) h and (65.40 ± 36.74) h in the treatment group and the control group,and there was no significant difference between 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05);the adverse reaction was not observed in the treatment group,but 1 case in the control group had cough,and without special treatment cough alleviated gradually;the close contacts in 2 groups did not develop influenza A.Conclusions The domestic Oseltamivir granules are as effective and safe as the foreign Oseltamivir.And the domestic Oseltamivir granules are the granular type,and therefore more suitable for children

A method was developed to assay α-Hydroxyltriazolam and α-Hydroxyalprazolam,　which are the major metabolites of triazolam and alprazolam respectively,in human urine.　After addition of 2-hydroxyflurazepam　(interal standard) and hydrolysis with β-glucuronidase, the hydroxy-metabolites were extracted with hexane-dichloromethane (1∶1) at pH　10.8, then were derivated with (BSTFA). The analysis was performed on a HP-5 capillary column with electron-capture detector.The detection limits of analysis in urine were about 1μg/L.The method was successfully applied to urine specimens collected from healthy human volunteers who ingested 0.5 mg of triazolam or 0.8 mg alprazolam. The method was enough sensitive to assay urine specimen excreted at 24 h by volunteers after taking the medicine.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of cervical cell DNA ploidy analysis combined with negative costimulatory molecule B7 homolog 4 (B7-H4) and protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) for cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 160 cervical cancer patients diagnosed and treated at Shijiazhuang People's Hospital from January 2018 to January 2022 were selected as the cervical cancer group. Meantime, 160 women who were screened for cervical cancer in our hospital during this period were selected as the control group. According to the examination results, they were divided into normal or inflammatory group ( n=52), low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) group ( n=68) and high-grade CIN group ( n=40). The automatic cell image analysis system was used to analyze the DNA ploidy of cervical cells. The levels of B7-H4 and PKCδ in serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum B7-H4 and PKCδ; the diagnostic value of cervical cell DNA ploidy analysis combined with serum B7-H4 and PKCδ in cervical cancer was evaluated by the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve; multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of cervical cancer. Results:The numbers of DNA ploidy positive cases of cervical cells in normal or inflammatory group, low-grade CIN group, high-grade CIN group and cervical cancer group were 16 (30.8%), 27 (39.7%), 26 (65.0%) and 127 (79.4%), respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( H=55.86, P<0.001). Further pin-by-pair comparison showed that compared with normal or inflammatory groups, the proportion of DNA ploidy positive in high-grade CIN group and cervical cancer group were higher (both P<0.05). The proportion of DNA ploidy positive in cervical cancer group was higher than that in low-grade CIN group ( P<0.05). Serum B7-H4 levels in normal or inflammatory group, low-grade CIN group, high-grade CIN group and cervical cancer group were (57.21±10.21), (79.17±11.34), (92.73±15.36), (126.56±20.25) ng/ml, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=285.45, P<0.001). Serum PKCδ levels were (89.34±18.29), (71.79±15.82), (53.39±11.84), (40.23±10.21) ng/ml, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=216.28, P<0.001). Further pin-by-pair comparison showed that serum B7-H4 levels in normal or inflammatory groups, low-grade CIN group, high-grade CIN group and cervical cancer group increased in turn (all P<0.05). Serum PKCδ levels in normal or inflammatory groups, high-grade CIN group and cervical cancer group were decreased in turn (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the serum B7-H4 and PKCδ levels in patients with cervical cancer were negatively correlated ( r=-0.47, P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of cervical cell DNA ploidy for cervical cancer diagnosis was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.78-0.86), and the sensitivity and specificity were 83.9% and 79.9%, respectively. The AUC of serum B7-H4 in the diagnosis of cervical cancer was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.89-0.95), the sensitivity and specificity were 95.7% and 76.1%, respectively, and the cutoff value was 111.12 ng/ml. The AUC of serum PKCδ for diagnosis of cervical cancer was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.89-0.95), the sensitivity and specificity were 85.6% and 88.9%, respectively, and the cut-off value was 54.83 ng/ml. The AUC of the combined diagnosis of cervical cancer was 0.99 (95% CI: 0.97-0.99), and the sensitivity and specificity were 98.3% and 75.9%, respectively. The AUC of the combined diagnosis of cervical cancer was higher than that of DNA ploidy ( Z=8.00, P<0.001), serum B7-H4 ( Z=4.34, P<0.001), and serum PKCδ ( Z=4.61, P<0.001) alone. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high level of B7-H4 in serum ( OR=2.94, 95% CI: 1.78-4.84, P<0.001), low level of PKCδ ( OR=4.33, 95% CI: 1.88-10.00, P=0.001) and positive DNA ploidy in cervical cells ( OR=5.77, 95% CI: 2.38-13.99, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for cervical cancer. Conclusion:The positive proportion of DNA ploidy in cervical cells of patients with cervical cancer is increased, the serum B7-H4 level is increased, the PKCδ level is decreased, and cervical cell DNA ploidy analysis combined with serum B7-H4 and PKCδ has a high diagnostic value for cervical cancer.

Objective To analyze the complications of radical vaginal hysterectomy in patients with locally bulky cervical cancer.Methods All 258 patients of early cervical cancer (stage Ⅰ A2-Ⅱ A) selected in our hospital during the period of June 2011 to June 2016 undergoing radical vaginal hysterectomy and laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection were analyzed.All cases were divided into observation (locally bulky) and control (conventional) groups.Comparison analysis was performed for complications of the two groups and the influence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the complications of local bulky patients.Results The incidence of complications in the observation group was 26 cases (27.9％),higher than that in the control group of 28 cases (17.0％),the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of bladder injury (5 cases vs 2 cases) in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).For patients with locally bulky early cervical cancer,the incidence rate of complications of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group (15.8％) was significantly lower than the simple operation group (36.4％) (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence rate of ureteral injury in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group (0 cases vs 6 cases) was significantly lower than that in simple operation group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Early cervical cancer patients with locally bulky (stage Ⅰ B2/ 1Ⅱ A2) had higher incidence of complications of radical vaginal hysterectomy,and neoadjuvant chemotherapy can reduce the incidence of surgical complications.

Objective: To analyze the hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) infection epidemic characteristics of Guangdong Province from 2011 to 2015. Methods: We colleted data on common cases of hand-foot-mouth disease infected with EV-A71 reported from eight sentinel hospitals in Guangdong Province from January 2011 to December 2015, through the "Guangdong Province Acute Infectious Disease Surveillance Information Platform System" , including the age and incidence of cases. Time and etiological data, etc.We also collected data on the number of reported cases of HFMD disease and the number of laboratory-confirmed cases, through the "China Disease Prevention and Control Information System" , including data on common cases of HFMD disease, data on epidemics of severe cases and deaths, and the age, onset time, and pathogens of cases. Learning data, etc.The data from two sources were used to estimate the incidence of HFMD in EV-A71 and describe its distribution characteristics.Chi-square test was used to compare the positive rate of HF-A71 infection in hand-foot-mouth disease and the difference in estimated incidence among different age groups and months. Results: Eight sentinel hospitals from 2011 to 2015 reported a total of 1 855 common cases of EV-A71 infection, of which the highest was in 2014 (31.6%, 605/1 916) and the lowest was in 2015 (6.8%, 134/1 971) (χ²=521.85, P<0.001).According to the Disease Surveillance Reporting Information System, 1 772 516 cases of HFMD disease were reported from 2011 to 2015 in Guangdong Province, and 1 902 cases of severe and fatal cases of EV-A71 infection.The composition ratio of EV-A71 infected was 72.6% (1 775/2 444) and 97.0% (127/131) of severe HFMD disease in Guangdong province during 2011-2015.The average annual incidence of HF-A71 infection in all age groups showed a decreasing trend with age (χ^2trend=990 273.20, P<0.001), and it was the highest in the 1-year-old group, which was 1 697.67/100 000, and the lowest in the 4-year-old group, which was 705.46/100 000. The difference of monthly average incidence of EV-A71 infection in HF-A71 in each month was statistically significant (χ²=401.23, P<0.001), the highest in May at 15.51 per 100 000, and the lowest in July at 9.42 per 100 000. Conclusion EV-A71 infection rate of ordinary HFMD varies in different years. The most severe and death cases of HFMD were EV-A71 infected. 1 year old children were the high-risk group of infected with EV-A71 HFMD. April was the epidemic months of EV-A71 HFMD infection.

Objective To compare the etiological constitution of recurrent miscarriage (RM) between patients with consecutive two and three or more miscarriages through combining the routine examination results and embryonic karyotype. Methods Patients with a history of two or more consecutive clinical miscarriages(≤12 weeks of gestation)consulting in the RM clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from March 2011 to January 2016 were collected. Six hundred and ninety-six with detailed history recorded, routine clinical examinations of RM and at least once embryonic karyotype were ultimately enrolled in this study. Their etiological constitution of RM were analyzed in groups of consecutive two and three or more miscarriage. The etiologies of RM in analysis consisted of women age, body mass index (BMI), chromosome abnormalities of couples, uterine abnormalities, endocrinology abnormalities and antiphospholipid syndrome(APS). Results (1)Among 696 patients, the abnormal embryonic karyotypes was 60.6%(422/696)and routine RM etiologies was 32.2%(224/696), leaving the ratio of unexplained RM was only 29.0%(202/696).(2)A total of 717 embryo karyotype were found in 696 patients, included 21 cases with twice embryo karyotype results the percentage of normal embryo was 39.7%(285/717), while abnormal ones was 60.3%(432/717). Among the types of abnormal karyotype, the most common ones (>10%)were trisomy 16(19.2%, 83/432), monosome X(11.3%, 49/432)and trisomy 22(10.9%, 47/432). (3)Among the 696 RM patients, the number of two and three or more miscarriages were respectively 446(64.1%,446/696)and 250(35.9%,250/696). Comparing groups of three or more miscarriages with two miscarriages, there were significant differencein older age as well as uterine adhesion(P<0.05). But no difference was found in body mass index(BMI), the rates of chromosome abnormalities of couples, uterine abnormalities except uterine adhesion, endocrinology abnormalities and APS (all P>0.05) between two groups. Conclusions The abnormal embryonic karyotype is the most common cause of first-trimester RM. The etiological constitution of two and three or more recurrent miscarriages is accordant, suggesting that routine clinical examination and the embryonic karyotype should be started following two consecutive clinical early miscarriages.

Objective To analyze epidemiological characteristics of norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney from January 2012 to June 2014 in sentinel hospitals of Guangdong province, as well as the outbreaks caused by norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney. Methods During January 2012 to June 2014, a total of 10 750 fecal samples were obtained from 22 hospitals of surveillance sites in Guangdong province. Those samples were sent to the local municipal CDCs for extracting and detecting norovirus nucleic acid. Then, all the positive samples were delivered to Guangdong provincial CDC that used Random Number Method to draw 855 positive samples for norovirus genotyping, and 690 samples were successfully sequenced. Chi?square tests were used to compare norovirus infection status of diarrhea cases in different age groups as well as during different periods. Epidemiological data of 13 outbreaks which were caused by norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney from January 2012 to June 2014 were collected from the Public Health Emergency Management Information System of Guangdong Province, and the epidemiological characteristics were analyzed. Results The norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney was first detected in August 2012 and the detection rate was 13/15 in November 2012. During November 2012 to January 2013(period T1), the norovirus positive rate of each month was 23.8% (100/421), 15.9% (61/383) and 19.2% (95/495), respectively. During November 2013 to January 2014(period T2), the norovirus positive rate of each month was 17.0% (90/529), 8.7% (37/426) and 11.2% (46/409), respectively which were significantly lower than that of period T1(χ2 value was 6.65, 9.93 and 10.74. P value was 0.010, 0.002, and 0.001 ,respectively). In period T1, the norovirus positive rate of people ages 15 and older was 26.3%(143/543)and the rate of people under 15 was 14.9%(113/756) (χ2=25.90, P<0.001). In period T2, the norovirus positive rate of people ages 15 and older was 10.1%(52/516)and the rate of people under 15(14.3%(121/848))(χ2=5.09, P=0.024). The foodborne transmission was the infection source for ten of thirteen outbreaks. Conclusion The norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney was first detected in August 2012. The epidemic began to occur in the community since November 2012, and the strength of the epidemic declined 1 year later. The foodborne transmission was the main infection sources for the outbreaks caused by norovirus variant of GII.4 Sydney.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of H1N1 influenza A‐associated encephalopathy (IAE) in children. Methods The clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG) examinations and treatments of seven children with H1N1 IAE hospitalized in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from December 2018 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Five of the seven children with H1N1 IAE were female. The age at admission was 4 years and 5 months (range 7 months-9 years). Neurological symptoms occurred simultaneously or early (0-3 days) after the flu‐like symptom appeared. The main clinical manifestations of neurological symptoms were seizures (repeated seizures in five cases and status convulsion in two cases, including one case of unexpected fever and repeated seizures in a nine‐year old girl) accompanied with altered consciousness (drowsiness in five cases and coma in two cases). Cranial MRI in three cases displayed multifocal lesions, mainly in the bilateral thalamus, brainstem and cerebellar hemisphere. MRI also showed reversible splenial lesion in the corpus callusumin in three cases. EEG tracings were characterized by diffuse slow wave activity in four cases, and status epilepticus was monitored in one case. All the 7 cases were treated with oral oseltamivir. Three cases were treated with pulsed methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin. One case was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin alone and all the patients received oral oseltamivir. All the patients survived, with three patients had minor neurological sequelae at discharge. Conclusions The main clinical manifestations of H1N1 IAE are seizures and altered consciousness. Cranial MRI combined with EEG is helpful for early diagnosis. Intravenous immunoglobulin and (or) methylprednisolone should be considered for severe cases.
