Voiding dysfunction is common in children,urodynamic study is necessary to evaluate voiding dysfunction.Recently,urodynamic studies in children with voiding dysfunction have been performed with increasing frequency as the techniques have been applied in most hospitals widely.New technologies,such as ultrasound urine flow in newborns and ambulatory urodynamics monitoring in children,have been used.Urodynamic has been used routinely in children with neurogenic bladder in China.This review summarized the application of urodynamics in children with voiding dysfunction and the relevant terminologies in pediatric urodynamics,in order to provide a reference for clinical applications and researches.

Objective To retrospectively investigate the clinical features and incidence trends of hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) in Guangzhou First People's Hospital for 20 years.Methods The medical records of 1 362 patients,who were admitted to Guangzhou First People's Hospital with acute pancreatitis during January 1991 to December 2010,were reviewed and 99 patients met the HLAP criterion.These patients were divided into four groups according to years (1991 ～ 1995,1996 ～2000,2001 ～2005,and 2006 ～2010).The incidence and clinical features were compared among the 4 groups.Results Among the 99 patients,there were 61 males and 38 females,the mean age was (44 ± 12) years old,and young male was predominant in HLAP.HLAP accounted for 7.3％ of all AP patients,and the incidence was increased 1.5 times during the 20 years period (5.4％,5.7％,6.7％,and 8.3％ respectively).The serum amylase level was (513.3 ±462.7) mmol/L,TG level was (12.7 ± 7.0) mmol/L,Ranson score was (1.2 ± 1.1),CTSI score was 2.2 ± 1.1,incidence of SIRS was 36.4％,and the incidence of MODS was 18.2％,and the incidence of pancreatic pseudocyst was 5.1％,but the incidence and mortality of SAP was not changed with time.The incidence and mortality of SAP of HLAP were significantly higher than those of acute biliary pancreatitis (20.2％ vs 8.5％,6.1％ vs 2.8％).The rate of blood purification increased from 0 to 10.7％,and the hospital stay was decreased from 26 d to 14 d,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Incidence of HLAP is increased gradually,with a trend towards more severe disease,but the prognosis is improved.

Objective To explore the effects of low dose amitriptyline (AMT) on gastrointestinal function and its adverse effects in healthy volunteers.Methods In this randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled cross-over study,28 healthy volunteers were divided into AMT with placebo group (n=14) and placebo with AMT group (n=14).The former took AMT for seven days at first stage,followed with a 14 days wash out stage and then took placebo for seven days at second stage.Patients of the latter group took medication in reverse order.The dose of medication was 12.5 mg three times per day.The subjects underwent drinking-ultrasonography test and lactulose hydrogen breath test before taking medication and between the seventh and eighth day of first and second stage.The data were analyzed by two stages cross-over analysis,Wilcoxon signed-rank test and chi-square test.Results The results of drinking-ultrasonography test showed that there were no significant differences in proximal gastric cross-sectional area between AMT and placebo after drinking 200,400,600 and 800 mL water (all P＞ 0.05).After drinking 800 mL water,there were no significant differences in gastric liquid emptying rate between AMT and placebo at the fifth and the tenth minutes (both P＞0.05).After drinking 600 mL and 800 mL water,the visual analogue scale (VAS) of AMT was significantly lower than that of placebo (2.98±0.85 vs 3.57±0.94,Z=4.412,P＜0.01; 4.57±0.98 vs 5.57±0.82,Z=4.170,P＜0.01).The results of lactulose hydrogen breath test revealed that orocecal transit time of AMT was obviously longer than that of placebo ((109.29±29.68) min vs (96.61±23.90) min,F=9.918,P＜0.01)).The common adverse effects were mild sleepiness,bitter taste and dry mouth.Conclusions Low dose AMT can prolong orocecal transit time and improve gastric sensitivity,but can not significantly affect proximal gastric accommodation and gastric liquid emptying.The adverse effects are mild and the safety is good.

Objective To investigate the incidence of pancreatic cancer-related depression in Guangzhou,China.Methods A multicenter,prospective survey was conducted,50 patients with pancreatic cancer,60 with liver cancer,50 with esophageal cancer,50 with gastric cancer,52 with colorectal cancer were enrolled from 4 hospitals in Guangzhou between June 2007 and June 2009.Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression-24 (HAMD-24) questionnaire was used to assess the degree of depression.Results The incidence of depression in pancreatic cancer patients was 78% (39/50),which was significantly higher than that among liver cancer patients (60% ,36/60),gastric cancer patients (36%,18/50),esophageal cancer patients(24%,12/50),and colorectal cancer patients(19.2%,10/52,P＜0.05 ).Twelve of 50 patients in pancreatic cancer were reported to have severe depression (24%),which was significantly more than that in liver cancer (10%,6/60),gastric cancer (4%,2/50),esophageal and colorectal cancer (0,P ＜0.05).In pancreatic cancer patients,the incidence of depression was significantly higher in patients with advanced stage (94.3%) than that in early stage (46.7%,P＜0.05).Patients who underwent chemotherapy had high incidence of depression(92.3%)than that of patients who underwent operation (62.5%,P＜0.05 ).Conclusions Compared with other cancers of digestive tract,the incidence of pancreatic cancer-related depression was higher,and its degree was more severe than that of other cancers.

Objective To explore the depression and anxiety status of patients with refractory irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)and its subtypes.Methods In this large sample,multi-center,prospective survey(Registration number in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry:ChiCTR-TRC-12001969),the patients who conformed to the Rome Ⅲ criteria for IBS were recruited from the department of gastroenterology of three hospitals in Guangdong province from June 2012 to September 2012.And 100 healthy subjects from the examination center of hospitals were recruited at the same time.The 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD) and the 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA) were used to analyze the depression and anxiety,respectively.Results 9802 patients were collected from department of gastroenterology,and a total of 1128 (11.5 ％) patients were diagnosed as IBS.601 of questionnaires were collected,including 142 (23.6％) of refractory IBS and 459 (76.4％) of non-refractory IBS.The incidences of depression,anxiety,depression and anxiety and the HAMD,HAMA scores were higher in refractory IBS group than those in the non-refractory IBS and control group,((66.2％ vs 23.3％ vs 9.0％),P＜0.05 ;(65.5％ vs 28.5％ vs 10.0％),P＜0.05;(58.5％ vs 17.9％ vs 5.0％),P＜0.05;(9.77 ±5.16)vs(5.48 ±4.03)vs(1.66±2.50),P＜0.05;(9.75 ±5.08)vs(5.91 ±3.80)vs(2.26 ±2.68),P＜0.05).And the incidences of moderate-severe depression and moderate-severe anxiety were higher in refractory IBS group than those in the non-refractory IBS and control group ((8.5％ vs 1.3％ vs 0),P＜0.05; (15.5％ vs 3.7％ vs 0),P＜0.05).The incidences of depression,anxiety,depression and anxiety and the HAMD scores were not obviously different among IBS-D,IBS-C,IBS-M and IBS-U subtypes of refractory IBS (P ＞ 0.05).However,the HAMA scores of IBS-D and IBS-M were higher than that of IBS-U((10.10 ± 5.03) vs(7.55 ± 3.22),P ＜ 0.05 ; (12.08 ±6.89) vs (7.55 ± 3.22),P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The high incidences of depression,anxiety and depression and anxiety,and the serious degrees of depression and anxiety existed in the patients with refractory IBS.And these are the important causes for refractoriness in these patients.

Objective To explore the relationship between congenital vesical ureteral reflux(VUR) and bladder dysfunction in children through videourodynamic examination.Methods Sixty-seven children with congenital VUR in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Apr.2011 to Jul.2013 were included,and their clinical information of urnary tract infection,detrusor activity,dysfunctional voiding and grade of VUR were recorded.All the children were categorized as normal,isolated detrusor overactivity (DO)and dysfunctional voiding (DV) (with or without DO) according to the manifestation of urodynamic patterns,who were also divided into groups of low grade (Ⅰ-Ⅱ) VUR or high grade (Ⅲ-Ⅴ) VUR.Data of video-urodynamic examination,urinalysis,and voiding cystourethrogram were collected to investigate the relationship between bladder dysfunction,sides and grade of VUR and urinary tract infection.Results Totally 73.1％ (49/67 cases) of children with VUR were found having bladder dysfunction,which consisted of 49.3％ (33/49 cases) of DO,23.8％ (16/49 cases) of DV.Children with isolated DO tended to manifest unilateral,low grade reflux (grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ) with less urinary infection.However,children with DV,isolated or combined with DO manifest bilateral,high grade reflux(grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ),and often with urinary infection.Conclusions Video urodynamic study is useful for evaluation of bladder function in children with VUR,which is important in management of VUR.

Objective To explore the expressions and significance of miRNA - 101,enhancer of ZESTE homo-log 2(EZH2)and transforming growth factor(TGF)- β1 in the kidneys with complete uniateral ureteral obstruction (CUUO). Methods Thirty male SD rats,(6 ± 1)weeks old,weighted(150 ± 10)g,were divided into sham group, 7 - day group with CUUO and 14 - day group with CUUO by using random number table method,10 rats in each group. The obstructed kidney samples were collected in 7 and 14 days,respectively,for detecting the expression of miRNA -101 by real time - polymerase chain reaction(RT - PCR)and TGF - β1 and EZH2 protein by Western blot,immuno-histochemistry and hematoxylin - eosin staining. Their correlated expressions were analyzed. Results RT - PCR results showed that the expressions of miRNA - 101 in sham group and 7 - day group with CUUO were(12. 69 ± 1. 60)times and(3. 74 ± 1. 24)times which were higher than those of 14 - day group with CUUO,respectively,there was a signifi-cant difference among these 3 groups(P ﹤ 0. 05). The expressions of TGF - β1 and EZH2 proteins were 1. 14 ± 0. 12, 1. 04 ± 0. 14,0. 76 ± 0. 18 and 1. 04 ± 0. 04,0. 89 ± 0. 03,0. 73 ± 0. 02 in 14 - day group with CUUO,7 - day group with CUUO and sham group,respectively. There was a negative correlation between miRNA - 101 with EZH2( r =- 0. 92,P ﹤ 0. 05),and negative correlation with TGF - β1(r = - 0. 63,P ﹤ 0. 05),and positive correlation between EZH2 and TGF - β1(r = 0. 67,P ﹤ 0. 05);the expressions of miRNA - 101,EZH2 and TGF - β1 were associated with each other in obstruction renal in different time periods. Conclusions With the extension of obstruction time, miRNA - 101 expression decreased,EZH2 and TGF - β1 expression increased,evidently,which indicates that the de-velopment of renal interstitial fibrosis may be affected through regulating EZH2 expression of renal obstruction through miRNA - 101 in the young rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of erythropoietin(EPO)on the expression of aquaporin - 2 (AQP2)in the kidney of young SD rats after release of bilateral ureter obstruction(BUO - R). Methods Thirty - two young SD rats were equally divided into 4 groups randomly(BUO group,BUO - R group,BUO - R ﹢ EPO group and Sham group,8 rats in each group). The BUO model was built through bilateral ureteral ligation. EPO(500 U/ kg)was given to BUO - R ﹢ EPO rats at 2 h after release of BUO,and then repeated 6 h,12 h,24 h and 36 h thereafter and the same volume of 9 g/ L saline was simultaneously given to BUO - R rats. The Sham group was prepared in parallel by laparotomy and free dissection of bilateral ureters but not ligated. Both side kidneys were harvested 48 h(72 h for Sham group)after release of BUO to examine the effect of EPO on the expression of AQP2 in inner medulla by immunohisto-chemistry,Real - time PCR and Western blot. The urine samples were collected by using metabolic cage before death. Results The osmotic pressure of BUO - R ﹢ EPO group was higher than that of BUO - R group,but lower than that of Sham group(P ﹤ 0. 05). Immunohistochemistry showed that the collecting duct wall thinned and lumen enlarged. After the pictures were analysized by using Image - Pro Plus software,it showed that the expression of AQP2 in collecting duct in BUO group was significantly down - regulated compared with that in Sham group,whereas,it was slightly weaker in BUO - R group and BUO - R ﹢ EPO group than Sham group(P ﹤ 0. 05). These results were further confirmed by a-dopting Western blot,and the relative quantity of AQP2 in BUO group was also the lowest of the four groups(P ﹤0. 05). Real - time PCR showed that the level of AQP2 mRNA in Sham group was(24. 30 ± 1. 03)folds of BUO group,(10. 60 ± 1. 05)folds of BUO - R group and(5. 70 ± 1. 01)folds of BUO - R ﹢ EPO group,respectively. Conclusion EPO could promote not only the recovery of AQP2 mRNA and protein expression but also the recovery of AQP2 function in young BUO - R rats.

Objective: To describe the linear growth trajectory and BMI growth trajectory of children aged 0-6 years, and to investigate the relationship between different growth trajectory patterns and refractive error of preschool children. Methods: The participants were selected from Ma anshan Birth Cohort Study (MABC), which was established from May 2013 to September 2014. In this study, 15 follow up interviews were conducted among 2 037 live births between 42 days after birth and 72 months of age to collect the data of body length and body weight. And at the age of (72±6) months, data of the naked eye visual acuity was measured by professional ophthalmologist in Ma anshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital. The latent class growth model was conducted to identify distinct linear growth trajectory and BMI Z score trajectories of 0 to 6 year old infants and young children. Multinomial Logistic regression model was used for analyzing the relationship between distinct growth trajectories and ametropia in 6-year-old children. Results: According to the latent class growth model, children showed three obvious linear growth trajectories: slow growth trajectory ( n =302), normal growth trajectory ( n =1 162), and fast growth trajectory ( n =573). And BMI growth trajectory were also divided into three patterns: slow growth trajectory ( n =630), normal growth trajectory ( n =1 058), and fast growth trajectory ( n =349). Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that linear slow growth trajectory was a risk factor for hyperopia in 6-year-old children ( OR =1.80, 95% CI =1.09-2.98, P <0.05). But it was not significantly associated with myopia. There was no significant correlation between fast growth BMI pattern and slow growth BMI pattern with myopia and hyperopia in 6-year-old children. Conclusion Slower growth patterns in linear growth trajectories were associated with hyperopia in 6-year-old children.It should pay close attention to the height growth pattern of preschool children. Regular examination of physical development indicators and distance vision can help prevent the occurrence and development of ametropia in preschool children.

Objective: To analyze the detection rate of sleep problems such as sleep delay and deficiency in preschool children in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China,and to provide the reference for the standard of sleeping mode among preschool students. Methods: From October to November 2017, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 27 200 preschool children in 11 cities in Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. Epidemiology of sleep delays, deficiencies and sleep patterns in preschool children was described. Results: The detection rate of sleep problems in preschool children in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River was 15.3%. Taking the length of sleep and bedtime as the main analysis points, it was found that the average sleeping time point of each age group was 21:31, and the detection rate of bedtime delay was 86.5%. The average length of sleep was (10.60±1.12) hours. The detection rate of sleep deprivation in preschool children was 15.7%. Sleep delay was positively correlated with girls, age increase and parents’ higher educational level (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with living in the city, non-only child and bedroom without TV (P<0.01) .The detection rate of sleep deprivation was positively correlated with children of high age group (4yearold group：OR=1.32，95%CI=1.19-1.46；5-year-old group：OR=2.10，95%CI=1.91-2.32；6-year-old group：OR=2.47，95%CI=2.20-2.77)(P<0.01), and negatively correlated with no TV in bedroom (OR=0.91，95%CI=0.84-0.98) and no light in sleep (OR=0.87，95%CI=0.78-0.97)(P<0.05). Conclusion Preschool children sleep delay and sleep deprivation and other sleep problems are more prominent, affected by family environment and other factors.
