1.Diagnosis of Cytomegalovirus Infection in Children
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2006;0(22):-
Cytomegalovirus(CMV) is an important pathogen of congenital and postnatal infections in children,which causes a series of acute and chronic infectious diseases and nervous system sequelaes.Early and accurate diagnosis of pediatric CMV infection is an effective way to improve health in children.This paper will introduce the types,laboratory techniques and diagnostic strategies of CMV infection based on the diagnostic standards at home and abroad,and also focus on current progress in diagnosis of pediatric CMV infection.

Objective To assess the value of MRS in evaluating vertebral bone marrow. Methods A total of 152 female volunteers (mean age 58±14 years, ranged 30~80 years) were recruited in this study. All subjects underwent vertebral MRS examination after routine MRI examination (sagittal T_2WI, T_1WI and axial T_2WI). Single voxel (SV) was chosen for the 1H MRS acquisition at L_2~L_4 vertebral body with PRESS sequence. MRS parameters were measured by SAGE 7.0 software. Results The fat fraction (FF%) of vertebra ascend with aging;the water line width (LW) decrease with aging and there was not obvious tendency with lipid LW. Conclusion Vertebral MRS can be considered as a noninvasive examination added to routine spine MRI to demonstrate the changes of vertebral bone marrow.

Objective To investigate the impact of movement frequency on gross tumor volume (GTV) of moving tumors and coordinate position of the central point based on three-and four-dimensional CT scans.Methods The respiratory motion platform from Modus and 8 phantoms with different shapes and volumes were used to simulate the movement of lung tumors.Three-and four-dimensional CT scans were performed at movement frequencies of 10,15,and 20 times/min.GTV (GTV10,GTV15,and GTV20) and IGTV (IGTV10,IGTV15,and IGTV20) were delineated,and the coordinate position of the central point was obtained.The Friedman test was performed for GTV10,GTV15,GTV20,IGTV10,IGTV15,IGTV20,and the coordinate position of the central point.Results GTV10,GTV15,and GTV20 at the three movement frequencies were 12.41±14.26 cm3,10.38±11.18 cm3,and 12.50±15.23 cm3,respectively (P=0.687),and the positional values were-8.2±96.2 mm,-8.6±96.1 mm,and-8.6±95.7 mm in x-axis (P=0.968),108.2±25.0 mm,110.4±22.5 mm,and 109.0±24.2 mm in y-axis (P=0.028),and 65.2±13.7 mm,65.4± 13.4 mm,and 65.4± 13.2 mm in z-axis (P =0.902).IGTV10,IGTV15,and IGTV20 at the three movement frequencies were 17.78± 19.42 cm3,17.43± 19.56 cm3,and 17.44± 18.80 cm3,respectively (P=0.417),and the positional values were-7.7±95.9 mm,-7.9±95.6 mm,and-7.9±95.1 mm in x-axis (P=0.325),109.4±24.5 mm,109.6±24.1 mm,and 109.2±24.3 mm in y-axis (P=0.525),and 65.5±13.3 mm,65.6±13.4 mm,and 65.5±13.3 mm in z-axis (P=0.093).Conclusions During simulated positioning of thoracic tumors,respiratory movement frequency has no significant impact on target volume established by four-dimensional CT scan.There are no significant differences in three-dimensional target volume established at different respiratory frequencies,but respiratory frequency has a significant impact on the position of the central point of the target volume in y-axis.

AIM:To determine the contents of sinomenine and chelidonine in Tong’an Injection(Caulis sinomenii, Chelidonium majus Linn, etc). METHODS: HPLC was used. The conditions included the gradient elution with methanol-0.1% triethylamine. The detection wavelength was set at 280 nm. RESULTS: The calibration curve was linear in the range of 162-1 620 ?g for the sinomenine and the range of 35-350 ?g for chelidonine, respectively. The average recovery for sinomenine was 99.56% and the relative standard deviation was 0.41%(n=5). The average recovery for chelidonine was 99.46% and the relative standard deviation was 0.62% (n=5). CONCLUSION: The method is simple, rapid and specialty. It can be used for the determination of sinomenine and chelidonine in Tong’an Injection.

Objective To explore the feasibility of “double low ”(low tube voltage and low contrast agent concentration)imaging technology of dual-source computed tomography (DSCT)in coronary angiography for low-weight patients.Methods 60 patients (BMI≤25 kg/m2 )who underwent coronary CT angiography (CCTA)on DSCT scanner were divided randomly into 2 groups:group A was “double low”group (n = 30,tube voltage = 80 kVp,using sinogram affirmed iterative reconstruction technology and 270 mg I/mL concentration of contrast agent);Group B was conventional group (n=30,tube voltage=120 kVp,using filtered back projection technology and 350 mg I/mL concentration of contrast agent).Adaptive cardiosequence prospective ECG-gated technology (CorAdSeq)was applied in both the groups,The collecting phase was 65%-75% RR interval (when heart rate<70 beats per mi-nute)or 40%-50% RR interval (when heart rate≥70 beats per minute).Subjective and objective methods were applied to evaluate the image quality.The image quality and.radiation dose were compared between the “double low”group and the conventional group by using SPSS 1 9.0 software.The differences between measurement data were analyzed by using independent samples t-test.Results The effective dose with size specific dose estimates (EDssde)of group A(1.22±0.31)mGy/cm was significantly lower than that of group B (3.44±0.80)mGy/cm with P <0.001.Contrast-noise ratio,signal-noise ratio and CT value of group A were signifi-cantly higher than those of group B (all P <0.05 ).Conclusion Compared with conventional DSCT coronary angiography,“double low”DSCT coronary scanning proposal for low-weight patients can significantly reduce the radiation dose and the amount of contrast agent,and the image quality can meet the needs of clinical diagnosis.

Objective To study the effect of early rehabilitation intervention on neurological deficits,equilibrium function, motor function and activities of daily life abilities in stroke patients. Methods Sixty two patients with acute stroke were allocated randomly into two groups: rehabilitation group and control group. The patients in the rehabilitation group were treated with a comprehensive rehabilitation regimen including the clinical treatment,Bobath technique, PNF technique and neuromuscular stimulation therapy. The patients in the control group were treated with medications. Neurological deficits,equilibrium function,motor function and ADL of all the patients were assessed before and after 28 days of rehabilitation intervention. Results The neurological deficit scores were reduced, while equilibrium function and motor function and ADL were increased after therapy in the two groups. The difference was significant ( P
