2.Diagnostic values of Holter monitoring in children with unexplained syncope
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;(1):16-18
Holter monitoring remains an useful diagnostic tool in the evaluation of syncope in children if synco-pe remains unexplained after the initial examination.But it should not be used as a screening tool.Holter monitoring is recommended in children who were suspected as cardiac syncope or who had an abnormal electrocardiogram.For chil-dren with frequent syncope,Holter monitoring is highly recommended.More information can be provided with extended Holter monitoring to 48 hours if possible.Heart rate variability is probably useful in predicting head -up tilt test diagno-sis of neurally mediated syncope.

The 53rd ASH meeting was held in San Diego in December 2011. The meeting has received many advanced reports on the diagnosis and treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).On therapy,with the application of thalidomide, lenalidomide and bortezomib as inductive treatments, the clinical outcomeshave been improved greatly in MM patients.Pomalidomide,a new immunomodulator,can be hopefully used as a frontline medicine for MM because of its high response. Bendamustine combination with other treatments induced efficient response and good response rates in MM patients with renal insufficiency or relapsed/refactory disease. Currently autologous stem cell transplantation is still the standard care for newly diagnosed young MM patients.At this time other kinds of novel agents have entered into clinical trials and have shown a bright future of application.

Objective To investigate the level of anxiety and emotional intelligence in general nurses of community health service centers in Shenzhen city, and provide theoretical basis for the intervention of anxiety in general nurses by analyzing the relationship between anxiety and emotional intelligence . Methods The self-rating anxiety scale ( SAS ) and emotions intelligence scale ( EIS ) were employed for the survey among 92 general nurses from 20 community health service centers in Shenzhen city . Results The SAS scores was 40.18 ± 7.26, significantly higher than the national norm. The rate of anxiety was 54.35%. Thirty-nine contracted anxiety at a low level, accounting for 42.39%, 10 did at a moderate level, accounting for 10.87%, and 1 did at a higher level, accounting for 1.09%. The EIS score was 3.49 ± 0.47. The highest dimension score was management of emotions for others and the lowest score was emotional perception. The dimension of management of emotions for others was positively related to social anxiety (P<0.05), and the dimension of use of emotions negatively related to social anxiety (P<0.05). Conclusions General nurses of community health service centers in Shenzhen suffer from anxiety at a high level and their emotional intelligence is at a medium level. Both factors predict the level of social anxiety in general nurses of community health service centers . Improving the emotional intelligence can be an approach to reduce the level of anxiety.

Objective To analyze the MR features of atypical meningiomas,so that to improve the diagnostic accuracy of this tumor pre-surgery.Methods There were 12 cases of atypical meningiomas proved by surgery and pathology.All of these patients underwent plain and contrast-enhanced MR examinations.Results Totally 12 cases,included 2 cases of multiple meningiomas,2 cases of lateral ventriclar meningiomas,2 cases of completely calcific meningiomas,3 cases of cystic meningiomas and 3 cases of malignant meningiomas.Conclusion The external cerebral signs of the tumors are the important basis for the localizing diagnosis of atypical meningiomas.Atypical MR signs of meningiomas are of complimentary value in qualitative diagnosis.

Objective To explore the relationship between the classification and imageology,the dynamic changes of bronchoscopy and CT features of endobronchial tuberculosis(EBTB).Methods CT findings and bronchoscopic findings in 48 cases with EBTB proved by sputum culture , bronchoscopic biopsy and surgical pathology were analyzed.The classification,dynamic changes and CT characteristics were also evaluated.Results Bronchoscopic results showed 13 of edematous-hyperemic type, 8 of caseous nocrosis type, 5 of fibrostenotic type, 2 of tumorous type, 6 of granular type, 7 of ulcerative type and 7 of mixed type. CT manifestations in different types were intersected,including thickened bronchial wall (64.6%) , bronchial stenosis (41.7%) , aerated bronchus sign ( 37.5% ) ,intra-luminal nodules ( 25% ), bronchial structure with obstructive atelectasis ( 37.5% ) and pneumonia (25% ) .The corresponding rate between bronchoscopy and CT was 83.3% in detecting diseases.19 cases were followed-up by bronchoscopy during the initial 1~5 months of treatment,and 12 cases (3 edematous-hyperemic,4 caseation,3 ulcerative,2 mixed type) were resolved or healed without sequelae,6 cases changed into the other type,4 cases changed into the fibrostenotic type, 2 cases remained in a fibrostenotic state in spite of drug therapy.28 cases were followed-up by CT during the initial 1~5 months of treatment, and 20 cases (6 edematous-hyperemic,4 caseation,3 ulcerative, 1 granular,2 fibrostegnotic 1 tumorous,3 mixed type) were improved,6 cases changed into the other type,2 cases turned into the fibrostenotic type, 2 cases did not improve despite antituberculosis chemotherapy.CT correlated well with fibrobronchoscope(88.5%) in predicting the therapeutic outcome of EBTB.Conclusion CT as a non-invasive method has high clinical value in observing the evolution , predicting the complications and evaluating the therapeutic effect of EBTB.

Objectives To analyze and compare the clinical features of autonomic nervous mediated syncope (NMS) and pseudo psychogenic syncope (PPS) in children.Methods Clinical features were retrospectively analyzed in children with syncope complaint not caused by cardiac syncope, situation of syncope, drug-induced syncope, and neurogenic and metabolic diseases that caused brief loss of consciousness, and the clinical features of similarities and differences between NMS and PPS were compared. Results In 106 children with syncope were included, there were 85 cases (80.2%) of NMS, 13 cases (12.3%) of PPS, and 8 cases (7.5%) of unexplained syncope. PPS was induced by recent mental stimulation; the syncope was more frequent; the score of orthostatic intolerance was higher; the omen was rare; the duration of attack was longer. NMS was induced by long time standing, movement and body position change; the omen was mainly dizziness, blurred vision and gastrointestinal symptoms; the duration of attack was short (<5 min).Conclusions NMS is the most common cause of syncope in children, while PPS is an important cause of transient consciousness of non-syncope. There are similarities in clinical features between NMA and PPA and differential diagnosis is needed.
