Objective To explore the early surgical treatment for sleep apnea in children with the influence of mental development,provide important basis for children with sleep apnea early surgery.Methods 40 children with sleep apnea underwent bilateral amygdala and/or adenoidectomy (observation group).The Chinese wechsler intelligence scale for children (C-WYCSI) was used for preoperative and postoperative 6 months of intelligence tests,including language IQ and operation IQ test two parts,a total of 11 points.Operation IQ but also contain visual analysis test(VA) and two categories,including geometry test (GD).According to the 1 ∶ 1 matching selection of the same gender,and age(± 3 months),family condition was quite healthy check-up preschool children comparing 40 cases as control group.Results Observation group preoperative total intelligence quotient (IQ),verbal IQ,IQ operation was 82,81,83,respectively,which were lower than those of the control group 101,101,101 (t =4.131,3.952,3.842,all P ＜ 0.05).Postoperative total intelligence quotient(IQ),verbal IQ and operation IQ 98,98,99,respectively,were in normal range,with no statistically significant difference were observed in the control group (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Children with sleep apnea early surgical treatment can improve children mental development.Children with sleep apnea early,breathing and surgical indications should be early surgical treatment.

UNLABELLEDWe designed a pair of specific primers and a TaqMan fluorescent probe targeting the toxR gene of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP). After optimizing the conditions, the specialty, sensitivity and reproducibility of the detection method were evaluated.

RESULTS(1) the developed real-time PCR assay protocol detected only VP and was not affected by other normal food pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonela, Listeria monocytogenes. (2) the limit of detection was 25 copies of toxR gene in the detected samples, and the sensitivity of pure cultures and simulated food samples was 21 cfu/mL and 210 cfu/g. (3) the developed protocol of real-time PCR assay had a high reproducibility, and the sample's variation was 0.9% and 1.3% within the same sample and between tests. (4) the standard curve had a good linearity when the gene quantity was between 2.5x10(1) and 2.5x10(6) copies. The developed detection assay targeting the toxR gene can quantitatively detect VP in only 3 hours, and thus is an efficacious method for the detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

We formulated a selective enrichment broth (SVV) for simultaneous growth of Salmonella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Vibrio cholerae by single factor experiment and response surface method. We evaluated the enrichment effect of SVV by conventional culture method and real-time PCR assay. We obtained the SVV broth by supplementting the Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) with bile salt no. 3, potassium tellurite, and sodium citrate as inhibitors, and glucose, mannitol, snhydrous sodium sulfite and sodium pyruvate as accelerants. We also modified the concentration of sodium chloride in BPW. When mixed at equal or varied proportions, the target pathogens had a great accumulation (10(5)-10(8) CFU/mL) after incubated in SVV for 18 h at 37 degrees C with shaking. It can also effectively inhibit the competitive microflora. We detected 10 artificial simulated samples and 608 real samples using SVV with real-time PCR. After enriched in SVV for 18 h, the quantity of the bacteria in samples were above the detection limit. The SVV with PCR assay showed higher tested positive (4.06%) compared to that of the conventional detection method (3.78%) and there was no false report. In summary, SVV is a promising new multiplex selective enrichment broth that can be used in detection of seafood.

Objective To review the experience of multiple modality endovascular treatment for intracranial venous thrombosis, and to evaluate the efficacy and risk of endovascular thrombolysis for intracranial venous thrombosis.Methods From October, 2000 to October, 2001, 12 patients with intracranial venous thrombosis confirmed by CT, MRI, MRV, and/or DSA were treated with multiple modality endovascular thrombolysis including intravenous thrombolysis, mechanical thrombus maceration, intraarterial thrombolysis, and stenting.After thrombolysis, treatment aimed at the primary diseases was continued and warfarin was used for 6 months.The patients were followed-up for 17-29 months, averaged 23 months.Results Of the twelve patients, all underwent transvenous thrombolysis, ten underwent combined transvenous thrombolysis and clot maceration, seven underwent transvenous infusion of urokinase combined with transarterial infusion of urokinase.Two underwent transvenous infusion of urokinase combined with transarterial infusion of urokinase.The thrombolysis duration was from one to three days.The infusion dose of urokinase was 800 000 to 2 900 000 IU, the averaging dosage of urokinase was less than 1 000 000 IU per day.All patients achieved from recanalization of sinuses as confirmed on postprocedural angiography, MRI, and MRV studies prior to hospital discharge.At discharge, all the patients improved neurologically, and GCS improved from averaged 12 of pre-operation to 14 of post-operation.During the averaging 23 months follow-up, no patient recurred. Conclusion Combined multiple modality endovascular treatment is an effective and safe procedure for potentially catastrophic intracranial venous thrombosis.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advanced gastric carcinoma patients before laparoscopic minimally invasive resction.METHODS:In retrospective analysis,93 patients with advanced gastric carcinoma were divided into single group (55 cases) and combined group (38 cases).Single group received laparoscopic minimally invasive operation.Combination group was given Tetrahydrofolate injection 400 mg/m2+Oxaliplatin injection 85 mg/m2,i.v.,2 h,d1+ Fluorouracil injection 2 400 mg/m2,i.v.,46 h,d2.A treatment course lasted for 2 weeks,both received 2-4 courses of treatment and 4 weeks later received laparoscopic minimally invasive resection.Both groups received routine treatment as parenteral nutrition and preventive anti-inflammation.They were given oxaliplatin+capecitabine or gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule+oxaliplatin chemotherapy for 6 courses.Clinical efficacies and ADR of combination group were observed.Operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative blood transfusion,resection range,conversions to laparotomy,the number of lymph node dissection,complete resection and postoperative first exhaust time,the time of fluid feeding recovery,the length of hospital stay and complications were observed in 2 groups.RESULTS:The objective remission rate and disease control rate of combination group were 44.8％ and 92.2％;there were 23 case time of grade Ⅰ ADR,13 case time of grade Ⅱ ADR and 3 case time of grade Ⅲ ADR.Complete resection rate of combination group was significantly higher than that of single group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).There was no statistical significance in operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative blood transfusion,resection range,conversions to laparotomy,the number of lymph node dissection,postoperative first exhaust time,the time of fluid feeding recovery,the length of hospital stay or the incidence of complications between 2 groups (P＞0.05).CONCLUSIONS:For advanced gastric carcinoma patients before laparosapic minimally invasive resection,tetrahydrofolate,oxaliplatin and fluorouracil neoadjuvant chemotherapy show therapeutic efficacy and can improve the rate of complete resection without increasing the incidence of ADR.
