OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficiency and safety of budesonide,azithromycin combined with terbutaline in the treatment of infantile acute bronchitis. METHODS:150 children with acute bronchitis were randomly divided into control group(75 cases) and observation group(75 cases). All children were given electrolyte supplement,antiasthmatic,antispasmodic and other conventional treatment;based on it,control group was treated with 10 mg/kg Azithromycin injection,adding into 250 ml 5% Glu-cose injection,by intravenous infusion with time of more than 60 min,once everyday+2 mg Terbutaline sulfate spray solution,add-ing into 2 ml 0.9%sodium chloride injection,aerosal inhalation,twice a day,15 min for every times. Observation group was addi-tionally given 1.0 mg Budesonide aerosol;3 times a day,10 min for every times. The treatment course for both groups was 10 d. FEV1,MEF50,PEF before and after treatment,total effective rate and disappearance time of clinical symptoms,hospitalization time and incidence of adverse reactions were recorded. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group were significantly higher than control group,disappearance time of clinical symptoms and hospitalization time were significantly shorter than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment,FEV1,MEF50 and PEF in 2 groups were significant-ly higher than before,and observation group was higher than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treament,budesonide,azithromycin combined with terbutaline is effective in the treatment of infantile acute bronchi-tis,and it can significantly improve lung function,with good safety.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), and to explore the risk factors leading to poor prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 95 patients with ECPR admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the survival status at the time of discharge, the patients were divided into the survival group and death group. The difference of clinical data between the two groups was compared to explore the risk factors related to death and poor prognosis. Risk factors associated with death were identified by Binary Logistic regression analysis. Results:A total of 95 patients with ECPR were included in this study, 62 (65.3%) died and 33 (34.7%) survived at discharge. Patients in the death group had longer low blood flow time [40 (30, 52.5) min vs. 30 (24.5, 40) min ] and total cardiac arrest time[40 (30, 52.5) min vs. 30(24.5, 40) min], shorter total hospital stay [3 (2, 7.25) d vs. 19 (13.5, 31) d] and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assisted time [26.5 (17, 50) h vs. 62 (44, 80.5) h], and more IHCA patients (56.5% vs. 33.3%) and less had spontaneous rhythm recovery before ECMO (37.1% vs. 84.8%). Initial lactate value [(14.008 ± 5.188) mmol/L vs.(11.23 ± 4.718) mmol/L], APACHEⅡ score [(30.10 ± 7.45) vs. (25.88 ± 7.68)] and SOFA score [12 (10.75, 16) vs. 10 (9.5, 13)] were higher ( P< 0.05). Conclusions:No spontaneous rhythm recovery before ECMO, high initial lactic acid and high SOFA score are independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ECPR patients.

Objective To investigate the variation pattern of real-ear-to-coupler difference(RECD)in chil-dren,and to compare it with the standard values of Western children.Thus,to provide a basis for the establishment of the standard values of RECD in children in China.Methods A total of 120 children participated in this study,and were divided into 8 groups according to the test age.Binaural RECD tests were performed for each group at each frequency.The standard values established for Western children were compared,and their variation patterns were analyzed.Results The mean values of RECD in Chinese children were generally lower than the standard values of RECD in Western children.There were no significant differences in RECD values between 3～6 and 7～11 months of age,and between 18～23 and 24～35 months of age.RECD values decreased gradually with the age of children.There were no statistical differences in RECD values between the right and left ears of children.Conclusion Indi-vidual RECD values should be measured during hearing aid fitting.In addition,one ear value can be used for both ears for children who have difficulty in completing binaural testing.

Objective    To explore the early results of Ozaki operation in children with aortic regurgitation. Methods    We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 15 patients with aortic regurgitation who received the Ozaki operation in our hospital from April 2017 to July 2019. There were 11 males and 4 females with an average operation age of 10.7±3.7 years. Besides preoperative evaluation, aortic regurgitation and cardiac function were evaluated on 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6-12 months after surgery. Results    In 14 (93.3%) patients , the aortic valve leaflets functioned well on 1 day, 1 month, 3 months, and 6-12 months, and the regurgitation grade was Ⅰ-Ⅱ, which was improved than before (P=0.001). The cardiac function of children recovered quickly after operation. There was no statistical difference in ejection fraction on 1 day, 1 month, 3 months, and 6-12 months after operation (P>0.05). No children died, and no other clinical event was found. Conclusion    The Ozaki technique of reconstructing a tricuspid aortic valve leaflet for the treatment of severe aortic regurgitation in children is effective in short term, and the persistence of its valve function remains to be determined in the long-term follow-up.

Objective    To explore the experience of surgical repair for congenital aortic stenosis (AS) in our center. Methods    We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 145 children diagnosed with AS, who underwent aortic repair from 2008 to 2019, with or without aortic insufficiency (AI), including 104 males and 41 females with a median age of 2.9 (0.6, 7.8) years. The preoperative and intraoperative data, early and long-term valvular function, long-term survival rate and freedom from reoperation and aortic valve replacment (AVR) were analyzed. Results    There were 120 patients receiving commissurotomy, 15 valvuloplasty with extra pericardium patch, and 25 AVR. The mean follow-up time was 0.25-11.20 (4.2±2.8) years. Survival rate at 10 years was 92.3%. Freedom from reoperation and AVR was 63.2% and 60.4%respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that using a patch during surgery (P=0.036) was an independent risk factor for reoperation. A history of preoperative balloon dilation (P=0.029) and significant preoperative AI (P=0.001) contributed to AVR. Conclusion    Surgical treatment of congenital aortic valve stenosis in children is a safe and effective method that provides enough time to achieve a more definitive solution. Using a patch during surgery increases reoperation hazard. A history of previous balloon dilation and significant preoperative AI may result in AVR during the follow-up.

ObjectiveTo observe the recovery of proprioception of the affected ankle over time after lateral ankle sprain accepting routine rehabilitation. MethodsFrom June, 2020 to June, 2022, 18 patients with lateral ankle sprain in Kunshan Rehabilitation Hospital underwent routine rehabilitation for twelve weeks. They were measured active and passive position sense of bilateral ankles using an isokinetic dynamometer before treatment, and four, eight and twelve weeks after treatment, respectively. ResultsThe active presentation difference of affected ankle reduced after treatment (F = 22.533, P < 0.001), but it was more than that of the healthy ankle at the same time (t > 4.419, P < 0.001). No significant improvement was found in passive presentation difference of affected ankle after treatment (F = 1.175, P > 0.05), and it was not significantly different from those of the healthy ankle at the same time (|t| < 0.646, P > 0.05). ConclusionProprioception of affected ankle has been impaired after lateral ankle sprain, and it can be recovered after rehabilitation, but cannot achieve the healthy level even after three months of training. Passive position sense as an index of proprioception needs more researches.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between migration time and the prevalence of myopia of children and adolescents aged between 6 and 18 years old in Shenzhen.Methods:From April to May 2019, 26 618 children and adolescents from 14 schools in six streets of Baoan District, including Fuyong, Shajing, Xin′an, Xixiang, Songgang and Shiyan, were included in the study by using random cluster sampling method. The demographic characteristics, migration status, self-reported myopia, screen time in the last seven days, outdoor activities in the last one month and other information were collected through the questionnaire. The differences of myopia among children and adolescents with different characteristics were compared by χ 2 test, and the relationship between migration time and the prevalence of myopia was analyzed by multivariate unconditional logistic regression model. Results:The age of 26 618 study participants was (12.37±3.49) years old, and the overall prevalence of myopia was 49.4%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after controlling for relevant confounding factors, compared with migrant children and adolescents of migrant workers who migrated for 1-2 years, those of migrant workers who had migrated for more than 6 years had a higher risk of myopia [ OR (95% CI): 1.48 (1.14-1.92)]. After being grouped by phase of school, in the lower grade group of primary school, the children and adolescents of migrant workers who had migrated for more than 6 years had a higher risk of myopia compared with those of migrant workers who migrated for 1-2 years [ OR (95% CI): 1.96 (1.20-2.74)]. In the high school group, compared with the children and adolescents of migrant workers who migrated for 1-2 years, those of migrant workers who had migrated for 3-5 years and ≥6 years had a higher risk of myopia [ OR (95% CI): 6.03 (1.29-28.15) and 6.52 (1.51-28.11), respectively]. Conclusion:The migration time is related to the prevalence of myopia of the children and adolescents of migrant workers.

Objective To explore growth pattern of neo-aortic root as well as development of neo-aortic regurgitation after arterial switch operation (ASO) for Taussig-Bing anomaly. Methods From 2002 to 2017, the patients who received ASO, and were discharged alive from Shanghai Children’s Medical Center and followed up for more than 3 years were retrospectively involved in this study. Results A total of 127 patients were enrolled. There were 98 (77.2%) males, the median age at ASO was 73.0 d and the average weight was 4.7 kg. Forty-five (35.4%) children were complicated with mild or mild-to-moderate pulmonary insufficiency (PI) before ASO. The average follow-up time was 7.0 years. During the follow-up, 14 (11.0%) children presented moderate or greater neo-aortic regurgitation (neo-AR). The diameter of neo-aortic annulus and sinus of Valsalva was beyond normal range during the entire follow-up. The average diameter of neo-aortic annulus was 18.0 mm at 5 years and 20.5 mm at 10 years. The average diameter of sinus of Valsalva was 25.9 mm at 5 years and 31.1 mm at 10 years. Neo-AR continued to develop over time. The diameter of children who developed moderate or greater neo-AR was constantly larger than that of children who did not (χ2=18.3, P<0.001). Preoperative mild or mild-to-moderate PI was an independent risk factor for the development of moderate or greater neo-AR during mid-to-long term follow-up (c-HR=3.46, P=0.03). Conclusion The diameters of neo-aortic annulus and sinus of Valsalva of Taussig-Bing children who receive ASO repair continue to expand without normalization. The dilation of annulus correlates with the development of neo-AR. PI before ASO repair increases the risk of neo-AR development.

Objective    To explore the effect of LeCompte maneuver on in-hospital mortality and mid-to-long term reintervention after single-stage arterial switch operation in children with side-by-side Taussig-Bing anomaly. Methods     Clinical data of patients diagnosed with side-by-side Taussig-Bing anomaly and undergoing single-stage arterial switch operation in Shanghai Children’s Medical Center from 2006 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether LeCompte maneuver was performed: a LeCompte maneuver group and a non LeCompte maneuver group. The clinical data of two groups were compared. Results    Finally 92 patients were collected. LeCompte maneuver was performed in 32 out of 92 patients with a median age of 65.0 days and an average weight of 4.3 kg, among whom 24 (75.0%) were male. Fifteen (46.9%) patients received concomitant aortic arch repair while 12 (37.5%) patients were associated with coronary artery malformation. LeCompte maneuver was not performed in 60 patients with a median age of 81.0 days and an average weight of 4.8 kg, among whom 45 (75.0%) were male. Twenty-two (36.7%) patients received concomitant aortic arch repair while 35 (58.3%) patients were associated with coronary artery malformation. The average cardiopulmonary bypass duration of the LeCompte maneuver group showed no statistical difference from the non LeCompte maneuver group (179.0±60.0 min vs. 203.0±74.0 min, P=0.093). The in-hospital mortality of the two groups were 6 (18.8%) and 7 (11.7%), respectively, which also showed no statistical difference (P=0.364). The median follow-up period was 4.1 (1.6, 7.5) years for 79 patients with 8 lost to follow-up, and no death was observed. Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank test showed no statistical difference in overall mid-to-long term reintervention rate (P=0.850) as well as right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery reintervention rate (P=0.240) with or without LeCompte maneuver. Conclusion    Whether or not to perform LeCompte maneuver shows no statistical impact on in-hospital mortality and mid-to-long term reintervention rate of single-stage arterial switch operation for side-by-side Taussig-Bing anomaly.
