1.Characteristics and evaluation of acute liver failure in children
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2012;(6):560-563
Acute liver failure (ALF) is rare in children but carries high mortality.It can progress to multi-organ failure and death.The etiology,clinical manifestations,diagnosis and prognosis of pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) are different from that of adults,and vary with age.The classic adult symptoms are often absent in children and the clinical encephalopathy may not be present.Children correctly diagnosed with well-characterized causes of PALF may benefit from the early implementation of directed medical therapies.Early recognition,diagnosis,and identification of prognostic factors will help in optimizing treatment and selecting patients for liver transplantation or artificial support,and improved their survival chances.
2.The assessment of sedation and analgesia in critical children
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2014;21(2):79-83
Nearly every patient admitted into PICU is administered sedation and analgesia therapy.The precise control of the depth of sedation and the intensity of pain are often not well managed.Inappropriate treatment will cause more adverse effects.Self-assessment is considered the gold standard in pain rating,other complementary methods being the behavioural measures and the biological measures,that reflect the body's answer to pain.There is a growing need for reliable and valid sedation and pain instruments that can easily be incorporated into daily care.There are many methods for assessing pain and sedation in critical children,but none is completely accepted as an objective measure or suitable for all ages of children.The clinicians should choose appropriate assessment tools and even combine different tools according to the environment,condition and the characteristics of patients.
3.Colonization and infection of multidrug-resistant organisms
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2012;19(4):349-351
There are much more multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) in the intensive care unit than ever.If the doctors could distinguish the colonization from infection of MDRO,they can make right decision on the rational clinical use of antibiotics to reduce resistant organisms and nosocomial infection.However,it's a confused problem for clinicians to distinguish between colonization and infection.Bacterial culture combined with clinical symptoms and signs maybe helpful,but it is limited.There should be more objective indicators.This article was aimed to state the definition and relationship between colonization and infection,and how to determine the colonization and infection of MDRO.

It is suggested that: ①When foot brace fixed the femur at inward rotation of 0?, 15?and then 15? after moving body position, and ROI was near the neck, BMDs of the neck and the trochanter were not affected in either of the three positions, with femoral neck with highest BMD; ②When BMD value of the femoral Ward′s triangle is taken as the index, it is better to take the mean of 3~5 scannings at one position.

Objective To assess the effect of scene simulation-based teaching on pediatric advanced life support(PALS)skills in medical students.Methods The students of two grades of Department of Pedi-atrics in Capital Medical University participated in the PALS training.All of them had the examination of the-ory and skills of critical illness management and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in children before and after the scene simulation-based teaching on PALS.The questionnaire was filled out and the data was analyzed after the training.Results Fifty-one students completed the training.The average score after the training was sig-nificantly higher than that before the training(86.51 ±7.16 vs.53.85 ±14.24,P ﹤0.05).After the training, the error rate of ECG recognition,etiological identification and treatment of the disease,and the dosage as well as usage of medicine was significantly decreased (64.7% vs.15.7%,71.0% vs.10.5%,73.2%vs.25.9%).All of the students could use the defibrillator correctly and the students'satisfaction rate was more than 94%.Conclusion Scene simulation-based teaching on PALS skills can improve the theory and skills of critical illness management and cardiopulmonary resuscitation of children in medical students.

Objective To investigate the expression and methylation status of HOXA7 gene in human pancreatic cancer cell lines, and to explore the relationship between them.Methods HOXA7 mRNA expression of human pancreatic cancer cell lines BxPC3, CFPAC1, PANC1 and SW1990was detected by RT PCR.Bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP) and combined bisulfite restriction analysis (COBRA) was used to test promoter methylation status.All the cell lines were treated by 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC), and HOXA7mRNA expression, methylation status was detected before and after this treatment.Results HOXA7 mRNA was expressed in BxPC3, CFPAC1 and SW1990, while there was no expression of HOXA7 mRNA in PANC1.HOXA7 promoter methylation rates of CFPAC1, BxPC3, PANC1 and SW1990 were 93.16%, 90.65%,90.09% ,52.30%.HOXA7 promoter methylation rate of SW1990 was significantly lower than those in other 3cell lines ( P <0.01 ).After 5-aza-dC treatment, HOXA7 mRNA of PANC1 was expressed again, and HOXA7mRNA of BxPC3 was increasingly expressed;while the expression of HOXA7 mRNA in CFPAC1 and SW1990was not significantly changed after 5-aza-dC treatment.Conclusions The expression of HOXA7 mRNA in BxPC3 and PANC1 was closely correlated with promoter hypermethylation, while there was no obvious relation in CFPAC 1 and SW1990.

Objective To introduce the technique and treatment outcome of the fingertip soft tissue defect with improved transverse palmar island flap.Methods From January 2011 to February 2013,15 cases(17 fingers) fingertip defect were repaired by improved transverse palmar island flap,the vascular pedicled of flap was a side of the neurovascular bundle,the flap revolved 90° to coversoft tissue defect.Defect area:1.2 cm × 0.8 cm to 1.7 cm × 1.6 cm.The time between the injury and admission was 40 minutes to 27 hours.Five cases were repaired defection with flap immediately,10 cases were repaired defection in stage Ⅱ.Results The wounds of injury in 15 cases get primary healing,and all the flaps were successfully survived.The 13 cases were followed up for 6 months to 14 months.The blood circulation of flap was fine,and the fingertip shape as well.The two point discrimination of the skin pulp was 6 mm to 11 mm.Conclusion The improved transverse palmar island flap for repairing transverse finger pulp defect and a small area of skin defect in patients.The procedure has a simple surgery,donor area don't skin graft,postoperative appearance and hand finger satisfactory functional recovery,etc.
