Blood glucose control is not only the key issue of diabetes management, but also one of the goals of diabetes treatment.Pain associated with self-monitoring of blood glucose(SMBG)results in poor compliance with blood glucose testing.With the advent of continuous glucose monitoring(CGM), it is more convenient to detect blood glucose and realize dynamic glucose monitoring.Continuous glucose monitoring(CGM)is widely used in adults with diabetes, and the usage among children is also increasing.Many studies have conducted clinical trials on the use of CGM in children with diabetes, initially confirming the use of CGM in children with diabetes.However, some studies still have controversies on the use of CGM in children.In this paper, the clinical studies of CGM in children′s diabetes in recent years were summarized to further understand the application of CGM and its combined insulin pump in pediatrics.

Objective To explore the chest features of patients with the novel influenza type A H1N1 on HRCT. Methods One hundred and seventy-two chest HRCT examinations on 163 cases with Influenza type A H1N1 (9 cases were reexamed) were retrospectively analyzed using standard pulmonary window and mediastinal window, respectively. HRCT imaging appearances were summarized. Results Ninety-seven cases showed normal on chest HRCT, while the others showed abnormalities of parenchymal and interstitial. Among them, HRCT identified ground-glass opacity in 35 cases (53.0%), centrilobular nodules in 30 cases (45.5%), thickening of intralobular septa in 31 cases (47.0%), intralobular thin reticulation and micro-nodule in 8 cases (12.1%), single-lobular inflammation in 19 cases (28.8%), consolidation of lung(the large consolidation and multiple small consolidations)in 15 cases (22.7%), pulmonary atelectasis in 3 cases (4.5%), and irregular lines in 2 cases (3.0%). Pleurisy was also revealed including 8 cases with right pleurisy, 5 cases with left pleurisy, and 19 cases with bilateral pleurisy. Mediastinal and axillary lymphadenopathy were found in 7 cases, who were spared of pleural effusion. All above abnormalities resolved quickly after anti- virus treatment. Conclusion Parenchymal and interstitial abnormalities, mediastinum and axillary fossa lymphadenopathy, and pleural effusion were the common findings on HRCT in patients with Influenza type A H1N1, which were similar to those of other viral pneumonia.

Two cases of incomplete regression of ventral mesogastrium were reported. Their nomenclature, etiology, symptoms and characteristic roentgenologic findings were discussed in relation to anatomical study. Because of its unique etiology and symptoms, charecteristic roentgenologic findings, and effectual remedy, it is suggested that this disease should be distinguished from "abnormal adhesion of fibrous bands" as an independent anomaly called incomplete regression of ventral mesogastrium. The roentgenological findings were: An incisure was found in the upper portion of pars descendens duodeni. It sank deeply and reduced two thirds of the normal diameter of the intestinal lumen to form an eccentrie intestinal stenosis. The intestinal lumen, near the inner border of the incisure was smooth, and there was no sign of serrated image formed by intestinal mucosa. The part of intestinal lumen was not distended in hypotonic radiography. All the above signs were caused by the traction and binding of the nonregressed mesogastrium.
